IPhone 4 crashing my MBP

Hi.
I am having issues with my iPhone 4 crashing my MBP. the screen just freezes and you can even force to quit iTunes. Im having to force my MBP off via the power button and reboot.
Also on the odd occasion it does sync it wont sync pics from iPhoto as claims the phone does not support them.
I have tried restoring the phone software with no joy.
Any other ideas???

not yet, nothing has changed on my MBP or iPhone though. no additional software or apps etc added.
Im still relatively new to mac so learning as i go along. is it normal for permissions to become defective?

  • IPhone killed my MBP USB Port

    Got my shiny new iphone 3g, went home, plugged it into my shiny new MBP. I plugged it into the USB port nearest the power supply. Right away, the iphone started intermittently connecting/reconnecting. I jiggled the cable, checked a few things, seemed to be the phone. GREAT. So i plugged it into the other usb port, nearest the power button. No problems.
    The problem is, now the USB port nearest the power plug won't work with anything. It intermittently disconnects external drives, USB jump drives, etc. Makes it impossible for using anything -- even a mouse.
    Anyone else experience this? It's 100% re-produceable, i plug the iphone it, it attempts to do the 3 hour backup (sarcasm there) and then beeps as it disconnects. Then iphoto opens again as it re-connects. Ad-infinitum.

    I've been using my google-fu to investigate.
    It's not limited to just me, it seems pretty wide-spread. It also appears to have something to do with iPhone crashing the usb2.0 driver on the MBP. I have a genius bar meeting tomorrow night, i can hobble around it till then.

    "I bought it a couple of weeks ago"
    Bought it from where? I ask because given what you have already tried, it would appear that this iPod needs either service or exchanging for another one.
    Did you buy this as new from a reputable source?

  • My iphone crashed during the update and now it wont recover.

  • IPhone crashes on Apple ID access

    iMessage says waiting for activation.  To troubleshoot, I try to go to settings/iTunes App Store and log out then into my apple id. When I do this, the iPhone crashes and I have to power on.  Any ideas?

    Howdy woyler,
    If the app is quitting when you are trying to activate the Apple ID with yoru Messages app then I would use this article named iOS: Troubleshooting FaceTime and iMessage activation found here http://support.apple.com/kb/ts4268.
    It can get a bit lengthy but is pretty thorough.
    All the best,

  • Iphone Crashing and Freezing

    Hi! I'm mostly looking to see if I have a lemon or if others are experiencing the same problems I have been having with my iphone. My iphone crashes and freezes several times daily. I have to reboot at least once a day, and often more than that. I've already sent the iphone to apple for repairs, and it came back with the exact same issue. I could live with the $200 dollar decrease in cost, but for that extra 200 dollars, I would love an iphone that is reliable!
    Most of the other users I've seen here seem to be experiencing only intermittent crashing, and specifically of utilities...they usually find themselves back in the start screen. My phone is freezing...literally no brain activity. Please let me know if you have the same problems.

    I am not sure that you should be subjected to the Freezing and Crashing on a continued basis as you describe.
    As I have said before, Resetting and Restoring merely bypasses the fact that you are not fixing the problem but in fact putting a Band Aid on a mortal wound. These freezes are associated with a malfunction in the iPhone, whether it be software or hardware, it is a iPhone problem.
    You should get down to the Apple Store and tell them what is happening and either get a replacement or assistance in helping you get your iPhone sent to Applecare.
    I would not wait.

  • IPhone crashes when opening certain apps

    My iPhone crashes whenever I open the Mail, YouTube, Safari, Stocks, iTunes, App Store, and iPod apps, my iPhone instantly exits the app. This also happens when I tap on the "clear cookies" option in settings. So far it does not appear to affect any third-party apps, or any of the other standard apps that are installed on the phone. I have tried resetting, powering on and off, and restoring the phone many times to no avail. It seems to be mainly the apps connected to the internet, although there are non-internet apps involved. I am running iOS 4.3.3 on iPhone 4 on AT&T. Please help me!

  • IPhone crashes every time while doing his backup, can´t sync regulary

    Every time I try to sync my iPhone with iTunes, the iPhone crashes 1 minute after putting the iPhone into the dock and started the sync process. After the crash, the iPhone icon disappears in the device list and appears again after a few seconds. Then I have to unlock the iPhone again.
    The only way to get content on the phone is to delete everything off the phone (unmark addressbook, calender, bookmarks, all music, all podcasts, all videos), do a sync to delete the whole content, then do a second sync, this time with the marked lists. So it´s not a sync, it´s only a one way data transfer to the iPhone.
    It´s horrible because it takes a long time to get all movies on the phone every time from the very beginning and it´s not the way I would like to use the phone.
    I did complete new installation with resetting the iPhone and a complete fresh installation of OS 1.1.2, nothing has changed.
    What can I do?
    best regards

    It sounds like you might have tried this already, but I'd first turn off automatic syncing with your phone and then just try syncing video. And then try syncing calendar. And then try music, etc.
    Some folks have reported issues with their mail sync and in this particular case I'd suspect that as a culprit, so I'd leave that sync off until the very end. If it turns out to be the case then you just need to reconfigure your mail properly. But first you need to determine exactly what is happening and only by syncing one category at a time can you figure out where the problem is lurking.

  • Lost purchased when iphone crashed

    After updating the Facebook app, my iphone crashed and I had to restore it. I have not synced to my computer in about 2 months. When I restored my iphone I lost the music that I have purchased in the last 2 months. It wasn't a whole lot, maybe about 25 songs, but still, that's $25 bucks!I have learned my lesson and just won't puchase music using the wifi itunes store ever again. Especially since all was fine until Facebook killed my phone. Please help me get my music back!

    If you don't have any copies of it, click here and use the form at the bottom of the page to request a free redownload, or purchase it again.

  • IPhone crashes mid-update

    While updating for both 1.0.1 and 1.0.2, the iphone crashes and has to be restored, THEN updated. I haven't hacked anything on my iphone, so why is this happenening?
    I don't want to lose all my settings and notes just to fix some bugs.

    Hard to say on that. I would have it looked at. Have you tried a different USB connection or cable?? I had a bad cable do that to me...
    Good luck

  • Iphone crashes and 10.6.3

    following up some application crashes i noticeed that my log folder contains reports of 94 iphone crashes from 10.6.2 and 10.6.3.
    I have never noticed any problems and did not see an onscreen report for any of these "crashes".
    does anyone know what this means.? my iphone works perfectly.

    First, your iPhone is NOT running iOS 10.6.3.
    Second, basic troubleshooting steps are restart, reset, restore from backup, restore as new device.  Have you been through ALL these troubleshooting steps?
