Iphone causes computer to freeze while on dock.

Hey guys, I just opened up my iphone today and it's great. However, my iphone causes my computer to freeze. I'm using the universal dock and the oem usb cable to connect to my computer (USB 2.0). While plugged in the iphone charges and shows the screen with battery indicator. However, after a while my iphone's wallpaper comes up and freezes my computer (have to restart computer). My iphone is still fully functional though.
So here's what I tried so far that didn't work:
1. Reinstalling itunes (latest).
2. Reinstalling USB 2.0 drivers for my motherboard.
3. Powercycling iphone.
4. Restarting computer.
5. Switching USB ports.
6. Turning off auto-lock.
I built my computer myself and some of the specs are:
AMD64 3200
Asus K8V Deluxe
2GB ram
Windows XP Pro SP2 (Fresh Install)

Okay so I have tried and it still freezes:
- Changing USB ports to high speed 480MBps in bios
- Changing USB cables
- Using it without the universal dock
- Used a seperate partition (another windows xp system partition)
None of these resolved my issues so far. Right now I have it hooked up to my macbook pro and I'm monitoring how it's going. Anyone has had similar experiences with this? Tomorrow I'm going to try to plug in my brother's ipod just to see if it freezes also.

Downloading itunes causes computer to freeze because of high computer usage...how do i fix it?

downloading itunes causes computer to freeze because of high computer usage...how do i fix it?

With the Error 2, let's try a standalone Apple Application Support install. It still might not install, but fingers crossed any error messages will give us a better idea of the underlying cause of the issue.
Download and save a copy of the iTunesSetup.exe (or iTunes64setup.exe) installer file to your hard drive:
http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
Download and install the free trial version of WinRAR:
http://www.rarlab.com/download.htm
Right-click the iTunesSetup.exe (or iTunes64Setup.exe), and select "Extract to iTunesSetup" (or "Extract to iTunes64Setup"). WinRAR will expand the contents of the file into a folder called "iTunesSetup" (or "iTunes64Setup").
Go into the folder and doubleclick the AppleApplicationSupport.msi to do a standalone AAS install.
Does it install properly for you?
If instead you get an error message during the install, let us know what it says. (Precise text, please.)

MSI P35 Neo-F (MS-7360): Computer randomly freezes while playing games

Hi there,
I have reached the end of my technical knowledge right now and I'm not even sure if this area of the forum is appropriate. The problem:
While playing higher-end games like Crysis 2, Anno 1404, Mass Effect 2 etc. my computer randomly freezes and the last few milliseconds of sound are being looped on my speakers (kind of like a buzzing sound).
By "freezing" I mean that my computer becomes unresponsive to any action other than pressing the Reset-Button or holding down the Power-Up-Button (no reaction to Ctrl+Alt+Del, Alt+F4, Alt+Tab, no mouse movement... you get it).
There's no exact timing as to when these freezes occur. The fastest freeze happened after less than a minute of playing a game, slowes one (just today after switching to my newer case with better cooling) took about 2 hours.
This freeze only occurs while my System is under load. No freezes while browsing the web, using office programs, listening to music or watching videos.
System Specs:
Mainboard: MSI P35 Neo-F (MSI-7360)
CPU: Intel Core2Quad Q6600 @2.4GHz
RAM: 4x 1GB DDR2-800 Corsair XMS2
Graphics: Gainward GeForce GTX 560 Ti, 1GB GDDR5 VRAM
PSU: Antec High Current Gamer 620W (upgraded from Xilence XP600, 600W)
New CPU Cooler: Arctic Freezer 13 Pro (upgraded from OEM Intel Boxed Cooler)
New Case: Zalman Z9 Plus w/ 4x 120 mm Fans (Upgraded from a Case with only 1x 250mm side Fan)
2 Western Digital HDD (1x 2TB, 1x320 GB)
1 DVD Reader/Burner (unimportant for that error I guess)
OS: Windows 7 Ultimate 64-Bit
2 Screens: 1x 24" Asus VS248H and 1x 21" LG Flatron Wide W2240T
Since this error is bugging me for quite a while now and since this is not the first forum I'm trying to get help from, here's a list of steps i already took to get rid of it, obviously to no good use:
reinstalled games where the freeze occurred
updated all Drivers (including cleaning old versions in safe mode; also tried older drivers)
updated BIOS to v1.A0
Reinstalled Windows
bought new Case and CPU Cooler to improve Air Flow/Cooling
checked Seating of all components (took out, cleaned, reapplied thermal grease where neccessary, re-inserted)
cleaned old case of dust (obviously no problem in the new case, which is 2 days "old")
ran 7 sequences of Memtes86+ without any errors
ran Prime95 without any errors for about 45 Minutes
ran Furmark for 15 Minutes under full load (burn-in test) without any problems, even though my graphics card hit the 100°C frequency-cut level
ran Furmark and Prime95 simultaneously without any problems
took records of component temperatures and system voltages without noticing anything unusual (at least not after i switched to the newer PSU, which is about 1 Month old - yet didn't resolve the problem)
tested with cyclic removal of 1 RAM device to further rule out RAM malfunction
tested with only 2 RAM devices in dual channel mode (Slots 1 and 3)
tried to reduce RAM clock (800 MHz --> 667 MHz) to no avail
checked S.M.A.R.T. values of HDDs, no issues reported
tested without any background programs
raised/lowered voltages to RAM, CPU and Chipset in BIOS to increase logic circuit stability/decrease heat production
I need to mention: After I transferred my system to the new case, i was able to play longer than average compared to my old case. So I am guessing that improper cooling was part of the problem, yet improving cooling obviously didn't resolve it.
Since these freezes are really annoying and nobody could help me resolve this so far, I'm hoping to find some new ways of narrowing down the problem or even getting rid of it here.
Regards
Sebb

Lets be realistic. A system with a 560TI is recommended to have a around 31Amps under full load, a CX500 would be sufficient.
Have you monitored your CPU and memory utilisation ?
As suggested before, test the GPU in another computer to see if the behaviour is the same.
Whew, I thought for a second there that my common sense had left me when I saw that 60-Amp-Post ^^
Yes, I monitored CPU and RAM usage, there is no recognizeable pattern to be seen and it almost never happens under full load.
I will see if a friend of mine can test my GPU on his computer, and I will test it underclocked right away.
Though one more question regarding that: Should I only underclock GPU Core Clock or both Core and RAM clock?

Connecting ipod causes computer to freeze

Hello, I'm not sure which ipod I have (a 20 gig purchased around Dec. 2004). I just got a new computer with Windows Vista because my old one (which my ipod was configured to) died. That computer had Windows XP. I installed the latest version of iTunes on the new computer and tried to connect my iPod to the new computer and it causes iTunes as well as my entire computer to freeze when the iPod is connected via USB. However, when I disconnect the iPod the computer unfreezes. I would like to synch my ipod with the new computer so I can add everything from the ipod onto the new computer. Does anyone know what's going on and how to fix it?

I am having a similar problem. My whole computer doesn't freeze just "my computer" and itunes. But both windows and itunes don't recognize my ipod. I restored my ipod using a mac (erasing all my songs) and re-restored it on my pc. (It did recognize my ipod once I had formatted it on a mac first and asked for a reformat to windows) But it would not sync once I had finished with the restore. Please help?

Attaching Iphone to computer causes computer to freeze--why??

I activated my Iphone with no problem three days ago, but yesterday when I attached it to my Toshiba laptop to charge the battery and load my playlist from Itunes, the computer first said that it had found new hardward--a camera because I do have photos on the camera roll, and then the screen immediately went blank, and the system locked up. The only way I could get out was to power down. I have installed a new version of Itunes, tried my husband's Iphone and docking station (activated at the same time as mine), and different USB ports--all to no avail. Help?!) Thanks. Jane

Jane,
You can also try testing in a new Windows user to see if the issue continues. If it does, use this article to try and isolate other pieces of software that might be conflicting:
For XP - http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=302538
For Vista - http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=305415
Hope this helps,

What causes an intel mac computer to freeze while a networked HP Laserjet 8000 N is printing?

I get the 'beach ball' and can't do anything on my iMac, an intel computer (iMac 12,1 intel core i5 running 10.6.8) until the printer finishes completely, and it's a busy printer with 7 other production Mac operators at work. There is only one other production operator that also has this issue with the printer.

Hello,
Open Console in Utilities & see if there are any clues or repeating messages when this happens.

Webroot Anti-Virus/Spysweeper Causing Computer to Freeze

Hey there! I've got a question in regards to anti-virus software.
I've got Webroot Anti-Virus/Spysweeper installed as my anti-virus on my computer (I've got Windows Vista Ultimate as my operating system). I installed it at the recommendation of the Geek Squad guy at my local Best Buy because McAfee was causing a lot of problems on my computer. Everything with my Webroot was running fine until recently.
I'm not sure what caused the problem, but when I started having problems last Friday when I went to restart my computer. It would get to the log in screen, and I'd log in. Eventually, my desktop would come up, but my computer wouldn't connect to my internet, and eventually would just freeze up. This continued until I essentially couldn't get into my computer. I took my computer to the helpdesk at my school, and one of their tech guys said that he tracked the problem to my Webroot Anti-Virus software. I got my computer back with the Webroot disabled, and sure enough, it ran fine. When I went in through the MSCONFIG and turned the Webroot back on and attempted to start up my computer again, it froze up just like it had before. However, when I disabled it through the MSCONFIG, my computer started up and ran just fine once more. My gut tells me it has something to do with my Windows Defender and Firewall running at start up, but I'm not entirely sure.
What I'm asking is has anyone else had this problem before? If so, were you able to solve it without uninstalling the Webroot? What did you do? I'm asking because I really like the Webroot software, haven't even had it for a year, and I really don't want my money to go to waste. And please, don't tell me to uninstall Webroot and get something different, because right now, I just can't afford to do that.
Thanks to everyone who helps!! It's much appreciated!

Hopefully this site can get you a general idea of whats going on, I have no clue to be honest with you..

Instant Alpha in iPages on Mini causing computer to freeze. Help?

I just bought a brand new Mini, hoping to aleviate the former problem I was having with my old Mini - and its STILL happening! Why is Instant Alpha causing the whole computer to hang/freeze? How can I fix this? Any help much appreciated.

Hi.
That song file is mostly damaged or corrupted. You should check the Console (in Applications/Utilities) it may provide some more info about the incident. If you imported it from a CD, you could try deleting and re-importing it.
Good Luck.

ITunes causing computer to freeze

Whenever I have iTunes running, when I click on it, or choose a song, or open it
ANYTHING
It will freeze my computer for a couple of seconds, lock my mouse position, whatever I'm doing
It even happens when I play games, it will freeze the game, then continue
When I close iTunes it stops freezing altogether
I would love some help, please

I have pretty much given up hope. I have not been able to use iTunes since I got a new computer on 1/29/08. Apple doesn't seem to care or think that there is a problem. I am in the process of converting my files back to mp3 but am trying to figure out how to salvage the 200 protected aac files that I have. Very disapointing that it has taken this long.

What may be causing computer to freeze up and show Firefox taking 50% of CPU? I am using Firefox version 4.0.1

While viewing charts on the Scottrade website, computer slowed to a crawl. I went to Windows Task Manger to see if another program was running in the background. Task Manager showed that firefox was using 50% of CPU

Just for starters, your My Web Search plug-in is generally regarded as malware. Try Googling "my web search plug -in" or use the Search Firefox Help box above
Use the quotes. In the box above click the entries even if they seem to be about something else e.g. "Adobe".
You should then work your way through(Safe Mode, Problematic Extensions etc) -
https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Troubleshooting%20extensions%20and%20themes
The Scottrade site does kick up cpu usage(to around 30% on my Firefox) on loading but immediately settles down.

IPhone causes computer speaker interference

So, I purchased a nice $250 Bose Companion 3 speaker set for my G5. Always kepts getting weird noises from the speakers just all day long. Little dobops and beeps and static. Just was odd. I thought maybe it was the G5 causing it as I heard G5 Power Supplies that may cause weird noises. Anyway, ends up being my darned iPhone <grin>. The last couple of days I have not had the noises and I thought it was great and I finally got things wired up the way it should be. Different electrical jacks, no wires overlapping, all that jazz.
So tonight I was charging my iPhone over near my big screen TV and grabbed my phone and it was maybe a foot from the front of the TV and I got the same weird noises from it.
So, somehow the iPhone must have something going on that if within a certain distance from other devices, may cause interference. Normally my iPhone was at least a foot from my speakers but I guess that was close enough.
Anyway, so there you go. hehehe
tj

This isn't a problem specific to the iPhone. My iPhone does the same, as well as my last Sony Ericsson Z525a (no data plan, wifi, etc.), and my wife's Blackberry. I tried changing speaker arrangements, wiring methods and paths, and ferrite rings. Nothing stops it. Shielded or un-shielded speakers, built in amps or not, the phones just cause noise. Putting the iphone in airplane mode stops the noise, but...

HT1338 i cannot update my iPhone cause computer has no space left in start up disk: how do i delete files or make more space free

How can I create more disk space on my computer; start up disk?

Hi,
How much space did this Hard Drive have when new ?
How much stuff is on there now ?
(Finder > View Menu > Show View Options and select Calculate all sizes)
A restart of the computer is likely to free up temporary files that may be in use (graphic Apps Undo space and the like).

SERIOUSLY NEED HELP! Computer trying to display tons of jpegs when booting; causes computer to freeze.

Please help me. This is a terrible situation. Last night, I was making a movie with iMovie and trying to find a way to export it that would be compatible with the item on which I am going to be displaying it (an Epson MovieMate via a USB Thumb Drive). I was SO frustrated that none of the formats iMovie could export in were compatible with the MovieMate, and also frustrated that the software I found to convert it from one of the iMovie formats to a format usable on MovieMate wouldn't convert the entire movie for free in its trial version, only half the movie.
Desperate for a solution, I was going through all the different ways iMovie could export, and I found it odd, but I found this jpeg one. Knowing that jpeg is a format for still photo files, it did strike me as odd, but I thought I would give it a try and see what would happen. After all, my "movie" is just one still photo with music playing for a half-hour. It said it would take over 40 minutes to create the "movie," so I went to bed.
To my shock, when I got up this morning, my computer was freaking out. It said that it had no more memory left or something like that, and prompted me to quit a bunch of open programs that weren't responding. I tried to do this, but it just wasn't handling things. Eventually the clock stopped progressing but I could still hear the processor working, so I just hoped it would work through the issue then snap out of it sort of, but instead, I eventually stopped hearing the processor sounds, and the cursor was also frozen. At this point I could see the whole computer was frozen, so I held down the power button for a few seconds to force the computer to turn off.
When I restarted it, it was trying to re-start all the applications I'd had open previously. After several minutes of trying to get it to quit all these things, it finally did, but nothing was displaying on my desktop yet. Normally there would be a HD disk image and a few folders. I had seen in a Finder window that there were tons of jpeg files supposedly on the desktop (where I had designated the file to save to), but I couldn't see how many. It never occurred to me that this is how iMovie would render things when I told it to save the project in jpeg format. I expected one jpeg file, not some tremendous and unknown amount.There may be hundreds or thousands if it created a jpeg for each "frame." Even if it created one jpeg file per second, that would be 1,800, and I suspect there's more than that. There could be several per second. Five per second would be 9,000 jpeg files. I hate to think but there may be a whole lot more than that even.
Finder continued to "think." I was never able to access it to do anything with it. There was a "stuck" Finder window which was displaying the Desktop folder, which is how I saw that there are multiple jpegs there. After a few minutes, I re-launched the Finder and was able to command it to not try to open a Finder window upon re-launch. After it re-launched, I could hear the processor working for a few more minutes. I think it obviously was working to display all the files on the desktop. The clock froze again, and the cursor movement was jumpy. Shortly, the cursor would not move anymore, and I could not hear the processor sounds anymore. The computer was frozen again. I held down the power button again to force it to shut down. When I re-started it, I logged into the Admin account (which I am using right now), which is the only way I think I can use my computer right now. I was also hoping I could access the files from the Admin account and just get them to display in a window so that I could delete them. I just want to delete them at this point. I wish I had never done this! I wish iMovie didn't even have that option or that iMovie would have explained to me what was going to happen if I were to proceed! I don't use my Admin account very often and wasn't really sure what it would be capable of doing. I can open a Finder window and access my Time Capsule, which contains something that looks like my hard drive image but when I double click on it, I get an error that says The following disk images could not be opened Macintosh.sparsebundle: Resource temporarily unavailable.
Anyway, please help! What do I do to get my computer back to normal??? I just want all those jpegs deleted and want to be able to log in and boot up like normal! This is a terrible situation as I use my computer for work and everything. I was needing to print some things for a presentation tonight. Please help me! Thank you!
Melanie
P.S. I just now got a Time Capsule backup message that came up and said Time Capsule could not complete its backup because Time Machine is unavailable! I am concerned this jpeg situation has gotten completely out of control and has gone beyond affecting my computer to also affecting my Time Machine!
(Also, additionally, assuming I can get my regular user account to boot up again at some point, if anybody happens to know how to get an iMovie file to save as .mpe, .mpg, .mpeg, .dat, or .vob, that information would be greatly appreciated.)

It worked! Thank you! I finally just finished about 20 minutes ago! It took over 26 hours to complete the process you described, but I stuck with it and it worked. I am glad I didn't give up or "forget it" as some might have suggested. That would have set me back until tomorrow!
Ultimately, it turned out there were 45,910 jpgs created. No wonder it took so many hours to render/display them all. It ended up being about 10 hours before it seemed they were all rendered but the process between them displaying and being able to start really deleting them took a few hours because partly I was asleep and also partly it took forever to do anything. Any action as simple as selecting and right-clicking to Get Info, or emptying the trash, would take 20-30 minutes, a couple times longer. The clock stopped many times for 20-30 minutes at a time, a few times over 30 minutes, before catching back up. My cursor never froze which is what really kept me going, although it was a spinning beach ball for most of the time. I was never so relieved to see my regular cursor as opposed to seeing a spinning beach ball as I was early this morning after about 10 hours!
Once I was able to open a Finder window and select all 45,900 files (I had already deleted 10 in the previous couple hours during experimenting of trying to figure out what would work best), then right-click and select to move all the files to the trash, the process of moving them to the trash took 4.5 hours. Then deleting them from the trash took a couple minutes. There were 21.4 GB!!! No wonder the whole process took 26 hours!
mende1, thank you so much!
