IPhone causes Windows to crash immediately when Camera app is on...

I sync my iPhone with two computers: an iMac for music, videos & photos, and my Dell Inspiron D860 running Windows XP for my work e-mail, contacts, and calendar.
If I have taken a photo with the iPhone and either leave my iPhone in Camera mode, or have even left any photos in the "Camera Roll" album in the Photos app, then my Windows PC crashes immediately when I hook the camera up for a sync. As soon as the USB cable makes a connection, I get an instant blue screen: informing me of a BIOS memory error and a message saying that Windows is shutting down to prevent further damage. So, I disconnect the iPhone and reboot the computer.
However, if I delete any images in the Camera Roll album of Photos and make sure that the iPhone is not running Camera when I plug it in, I can sync between the iPhone and iTunes on Windows XP flawlessly.
The irony here is that I have left the sync Photos box unchecked in iTunes on the Dell running XP. So, technically, nothing in the Camera or Photos apps on my iPhone should even be communicating with software on the XP system.
Have other folks experienced this problem? If not, perhaps I'm doing something wrong and would appreciate any insights!!
Thanks

I finally nailed it.
i have a Acer Aspire notebook with orbicam and i had the latest driver from ACER but still had some problems on XP but deleted everything (Orbicam drivers and camera utility from Control Panel) also i verified that everything was gone in MY PC / Properties / Hardware / Device Manager / Imaging Devices (if not, uninstall the Orbicam from there.
then i restarted my computer and installed Logitech Quickcam utility version 10.5 from logitech site (from the Quickcam 4000) that i previously downloaded, everything went ok.. i restarted again my computer and my camera worked perfecty and also i was able to connect my iphone with photos in camera roll and XP detected it normally without any trouble. The only thing that came out after doing this is that my Orbicam appears in the SAFE DEVICE REMOVAL UTILITY right next to the other utility icons and the clock. i will try to solve this and post any coments.
I hope this info is useful for others like me with this issue.

I have unlocked my iPhone 3G with Vodafone via iTunes, but now the downloaded apps crash immediately when opened. I've tried a Restore, but this didn't help. I've also tried removing all apps and re-installing them, but they still don't work. Any ideas?

yep, unfortunately can't reset without the passcode either.
With regards to doing a restore, do you mean:
open itunes on my computer
click on my device on the left
go to the device summary
click restore
it then asks if i want to back up before i restore (to which i say no)
then it asks me if i'm sure I want to restore to factory settings and that all of me media and data will be erased and replaced with the newest version ( to which I say yes)
then it takes about 90 mins to do this but when I look at my phone, everything is exactly the same.
Am I missing something? Obviously I'm technologically challenged, but I HAVE to get to the bottom of this!

Itunes 10.5 crashes immediately when playing a song.

I've been struggling to get itunes to work after updating for over a week now. I was finally able to connect to the itunes store after using the "netsh winsock reset" command but still can't play music. It crashes immediately when I try to play any song in my music library. I have restarted the computer with only the basic programs running and that didn't help and have uninstalled and reinstalled all Apple programs and updated all audio drivers I can find! Any ideas or help would be appreciated! I'm running Widows Vista on a Dell Inspiron 1545.

Hi Denis,
I managed to fix a similar issue on Mac OS X:
"I am running 10.5.8 on an iMac 27 with a 2.66GHz i5 processor and got the same side-effects after I moved up to iTunes 10.5. Th e problem also continued when I downgraded to 10.4.1 as well, straight afterwards. However, I managed to resolve it fairly quickly in this way:
Opened the Activity Monitor, and looked at the processes taking most resources.
The one that leapt out at the top, if ordered by % CPU, was "ShockWave Flash (Chrome Plug-in Host)".
So, I closed down Chrome and noted that it was still there. Thus, I sent a force quit to it and waited for it to die. I then re-opened iTunes and the annoying stuttering had gone. I've now got Chrome and this plug-in open and it has not returned. I suspect the issue may frequently be caused by a plug-in like this causing resource contention, but I can't say for sure as I've only seen this once.
My advice would be to close down, one by one, as many apps as you can and constantly review activity ordered by CPU in Activity Monitor. If you think you can safely quit the process then do so and retry iTunes. If you're not sure, then gracefully shutdown and look again. Bear in mind, the problem may be launching at startup. Before shutting down, review your Login Items in System Prefs->Accounts->"My Account"->Login Items. Remove anything you can live without. You can always add them back in. If you manage to spot conflicting software then you can look for a patch or upgrade, but at least be aware that it does not play well with iTunes and thus quickly fix your issue."
May be you can follow a similar process on Windows? I would target your suspicions towards Adobe and Google components :-) !!!
Hope this helps.

Video Drivers in Windows 7 64 bit cause Windows to crash after reboot

I have a Mac Mini mid 2011, I installed Windows 7 64 bit through Bootcamp. After the install I install the Mac drivers. I have narrowed it down to the video card drivers are causing Windows to crash on reboot. Are there other drivers I can use? Am I doing something wrong?
Thank you in advance for any help or advice.

Installed Maverick today - all looks OK except iBooks crashes immediately when opened on my 15" Macbook Retinal?

I thought these strips are caused by PCIe , second video card, but then I launched virtual machine (just to make computer switch to the second video adapter to see it something will change). Now virtual machine is working in the background, Mac is working on the second video adapter - nothing bad happens.(just as before)... But then suddenly, out of nowhere it ether gets freezed or strips appears on the screen(as on photo above)
Video how it freezes

My iPhone has recently been crashing (or rather the apps) when I would try to access my text messages, contacts, phonebook, facebook, or email. I tried restarting my phone and lost all of my contacts. Anyone know what's wrong/how to fix it

My iPhone has recently been crashing (or rather the apps) when I would try to access my text messages, contacts, phonebook, facebook, or email. I tried restarting my phone and lost all of my contacts. This has been happening more and more frequently. Today I was in my pictures and was trying to crop one and my phone shut off completely. Anyone know what's wrong with it or how to fix it?

Make sure all apps are fully closed:
- double tap your home button
- hold your finger on an app
- when the apps start to wiggle press the red "-" button on all the apps
Now do a hard reset:
- hold the home button and the sleeps/wake button down at the same time
- the phone will shut off then when the apple logo ppears release both buttons
If by then your contacts have not been restored you would need to try and retreive them from a back up on itunes/icloud that was made when the contacts were on the phone. You could even stream them from the cloud if they were synced to the cloud. The link beow will show you how to restore from an itunes/icloud back up:

Also to prevent this issue which i have seen alot when users are still running iOS 5 it would be best to update the iOS on your phone. To do this follow the link below:

My iPhone 4 turns off (crashes) after accesing any apps, It work fine when plugged to charger. I tried all troubleshooting steps suggested by Apple but it doesn't work. What could be the problem and what are the solutions?

My iPhone 4 turns off (crashes) after accesing any apps, It work fine when plugged to charger (power supply). I tried all troubleshooting steps suggested by Apple but it doesn't work. I backed up my phone. I restored it several times. Even I re-installed iphone software. Also I restored it as a new iphone but doesn't work. What could be the problem and what are the availble solutions?

We can't know if there's a "fixture" because we can't examine your phone. But Apple can. Make a Genius Bar appointment and get your phone evaluated.

IPhone causes Windows XP to crash when connected

Connecting the usb adapter from the PC to the iPhone causes a blue screen of death (BSOD).
Originally, I connected the iPhone to my Dell XPS m1210 and iTunes 7.3 to activate. Activation was seamless. It immediately recognized the iPhone and didn't cause any problems.
After activation, I disconnected the iPhone. When I reconnected it (literally plugged in the cable), my Dell started to recognize the device. Then it went directly to a BSOD. The BSOD doesn't contain the name of any file. Microsoft error reporting says the file is corrupted, so it can't analyze the problem. The problem happens again and again.
Since then, I have restarted my computer a few times, reinstalled iTunes twice, updated my usb drivers, all without any success.
Has anyone else experienced the problem? Anyone have any ideas on how to fix it?
Dell XPS M1210 Windows XP

The BSOD reports:

Let's try getting a minidump to the Apple Engineers for a look.
To set up your machine to capture a minidump, right click on "My Computer", select "Properties", select the "Advanced" tab, select the "Startup and Recovery" Settings button, select "small memory dump" from the popup. When it crashes, look for the MiniDump file. It's usually in the folder "C:\WINDOWS\Minidump" and is called something like Mini<number>-<number>.dmp.
Generate the crash, collect the minidump, and send it as an attachment to this email address

Help! Windows Explorer crashes regularly when using "SharePoint" directory synced with OneDrive for Business

We are using SharePoint 2013 and I want to sync document libraries with
OneDrive for Business with my PC running Windows 7.
In general, it works, but my Windows Explorer crashes very often (after a few minutes) when I navigate in the synced directories and open files there (or copy files into them in Windows Explorer).
How can I find out what happens and how to avoid it?
remark:
We are still using Office 2007, so I installed only OneDrive for Business from the Office 2013 DVD and
deactivated all other components like Office 2013 by hand:
(so for example, the shared office feature or MS Info Path etc. were not installed)
Is there a crash log, where I can find more information about the crash?
Does OneDrive maybe need other components to be installed and can I install them without damaging my existing Office 2007 setup?

Did you check your Event Viewer for any errors during the time when Windows Explorer crashed?
Thanks for this hint!
The Log file says the following, so it seems to be WIDCOMM\Bluetooth Software\btncopy.dll
to be responsible for the crashing Windows Explorer

ITunes 11.4 crashes immediately when started on Mac OS 10.6.

We have an old Macbook running Snow Leopard 10.6.8 and started iTunes to move our Library to a new Macbook Air. iTunes suggested to upgrade, which we did. When starting iTunes it crashes immediately. Any suggestions?

I am having the exact same problem in my work environment. I have not yet found a solution to to the issue myself. At the moment with the workstations in my office I am going to have to install Acrobat 9 until the is an update provided... Which is going to be hard because Reader crashes becfore I even get a chance to check for updates.
I do agree that it could be a permissions issue because a user who is a local administrator to one of the workstations has been using it no problems... But as soon as a user without aministrator permissions gets on it crashes. Does seem like a bit of an amateur problem. Could an organisation like Adobe really make a mistake like this?

IPhone 6 plus screen flashes blue when closing apps

i noticed a strange glitch that frequently happens on my 6 plus whenever i remove apps from multitasking when the app is killed it blinks blue flash it happens mostly while playing games it dosn't happen all the time but it repeats again it is not like the people facing the blue screen of death its just a blink that happens in a fraction of second

Does it happen with specific apps, or completely random?

IPhone causes Windows XP to crash when connected: This is the solution...

I've the solution to the problem....!!!
This message is in response to a problem reported originally by swinglinestapler on jul 2, 2007.
Like others before me have said, there is a conflict between logitech camera drivers and the iphone (when there are photos in the camera roll).
To solve the problem you MUST:
1.- Unistall the logitech camera from your system (using the uninstall option from logitech appl); restart your system.
2.- Connect your iphone (make sure you have some photos in the camera roll)
3.- Wait until the system recognize the camera on the iphone.
4.- Go to device manager and update the driver for the iphone camera; if you open "my computer" it will show a camera icon with the name "Apple iphone #5"
5.- DO NOT UNPLUG the iphone from your computer
6.- Re-install the logitech camera; it's better if you go to the logitech website and download the latest software, rather then using the one that came with your camera.
You're DONE!
Now you can unplug your iphone, take as many pictures as you want and your system will not crash when you plug the iphone again to it.

Re: iPhone causes Windows XP to crash when connected

I too am having this issue, but do not have a logitech web cam installed.
Vista Ultimate and XP both die if I dock the iphone with pictures in it.

docnzok,
This issue can occur because of a conflict with other devices drivers. Even if those devices are not currently installed. While the Logitech Webcam is one many users have reported, it and others are discussed in this article:
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=306048
Even if you don't currently have a device attached, it may have drivers left behind.
Do you have a media card reader, for example to read the memory cards from a digital camera? Do you have a scanner attached?
If you remove the pictures you have taken on the iPhone, for example after emailing them to yourself, does the same issue occur?
Thank you,
Nathan C.

load skype
load windows live messenger
I was then no longer able to sync IPhone as it crashed windows!
I un-installed everything I loaded

Still, unable to sync my IPhone.
This is crazy!
Any ideas?????
Thanks.

I have the same problem. I connect my iphone to my windows xp work laptop just to charge, not sync (Sync from macbook at home). I have been doing it for a month and no problems.
All of a sudden my computer won't even boot, just BSOD almost immediately, cannot load windows. I didn't think it was the phone but then I was using my coworkers laptop and put my iphone in to charge. When I gave it back to her, the next time she tried to boot she had the same problem as me.
Could the Iphone really cause such a massive failure?
These dells don't even have webcams.
PLEASE HELP!
Thanks

Iphone causes windows XP to crash

Whenever I plug my Iphone into the USB, I get an instant reboot.
Itunes 9.0.2.25
Windows XP pro SP3
If I uninstall Itunes, the phone is recognized by Windows and no crashes occur. With Itunes installed, as soon as I plug in my Iphone...the computer reboots.
This is a fresh xp install, all drivers are up to date.
I ran the diagnostics on Itunes, and of course..I can't plug in my Iphone to check connectivity. As soon as I do, it causes a reboot.
Ran Apple Software update and nothing else is available for download.

Any photos in your camera roll on the phone? More importantly, any that were emailed to you or downloaded through safari? If so, try deleting them.
Also, read through this article to verify that the iphone driver/service are installed properly:
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1495
Also, I don't use windows, so don't know exactly what image capture program is used in XP, but try making sure that whatever program that is is set to do nothing when a camera is attached.
