IPhone is making my PC freeze

Whenever I plug my iPhone into my PC to sync with iTunes, it is without fail causing iTunes on the PC to freeze and not detect the iPhone.
I have recently done a completely fresh install of Windows onto a new disk, and installed the latest version of iTunes, yet the iPhone is still causing iTunes to crash.
What is causing this?

What kind of computer are you using?
Are you connecting iPhone directly to computer or using USB hub?
When you say crash do you mean it freezes or does it close or just hang?
What security software do you use?

  • My itunes will not open at all. it occasionally will open but when i plug my iphone into it the program freezes and crashes. please help as soon as possible

    my itunes will not open at all. it occasionally will open but when i plug my iphone into it the program freezes and crashes. please help as soon as possible

    i think i might have a solution... i have windows vista and after i installed to latest itunes update everytime i tried to open it it would freeze. I tried everything, including uninstalling itunes and all of its components and reinstalled it numerous times. So i went to the itunes folder in my folders, not on itunes, and i deleted my itunes library and playlists. After that it worked just fine, all of my music was deleted but luckily i had my files saved elsewhere.
    I hope this helped! I know its frustrating and APPLE/ITUNES NEED TO FIX THE PROBLEM!!!!

  • IPhone connected to Mac, iTunes freezes when selecting PODCASTS tab

    So I upgraded to iTunes 11.1 and iOS7 (running OSX 10.8.5) and my podcasts and smart playlists did not sync. (I do not use the Podcats app because I have so many podcast-related folders and smart-folders.) Every time I click on the PODCASTS tab when the iPhone 5 is connected iTunes freezes and I have to Force Quit the app.
    I've fixed permissions, run Disk Utility, restarted... nothing helps. This seems to specifically be an iTunes problem.

    So I just spent an hour restoring my iPhone, then restoring from backup (40Gb filled in a 64Gn iPhone takes a while). Very interestingly, I watched all my podcasts get copied into my iPhone but they are not accessible from the Music app, nor are they found when doing a Spotlight search!
    I downloaded Apple's Podcast app and they seemed to appear there (couldn't tell for sure, app is confusing and it was accessing Wifi so I diodn't know what it saw, or if it was fetching files). But of course that app has no smart folders and accessing new podcasts and podcasts based on time-length is impossible.
    Oh yes, after the restore I tried clicking on the Podcasts tab and iTunes froze up again....

  • Since yesterday my iphone 4 has started to freeze intermittently when unlocking.  When it happens nothing happens (left it for an hour last night) until I reset the phone, but it's done it 5 times today. Never had this prob before.   Any thoughts?

    Since yesterday my iphone 4 has started to freeze intermittently when unlocking.  When it happens nothing happens (left it for an hour last night) until I reset the phone, but it's done it 5 times today. Never had this prob before.   Any thoughts?

    I had the same problem (freezing iphone when trying to unlock) today.
    1) I made a backup of my iphone using itunes.
    2) Went to my service provider and made a sim swap. So, I think there was a problem with the nano simcard.
    Problem solved.

  • IPhone 4 slide to unlock freezes- a solution.

    Hi,
    I'm glad I have this opportunity to share a solution to the iPhone 4 slide to unlock freeze problem. Some perliminary informatiom: iOS 5.1, 5.7 GB free on a 16 GB phone (no space issues). The phone froze on almost all of the unlock attempts. No backup and restore were attempted.
    My solution: during my investigation I've tried to access the Passcode Lock (Settings -> General) and the phone froze for a few moments and sometimes returned to the home screen. I have managed to access the Passcode and turned the passcode off. After this I reset the passcode to something different and re-enabled passcode on. Since then there are no issues. If there is a DB it must have gone corrupted, resetting probably re-wrote the passcode. Hope this helps, though nothing is deffinitive.

    HI,
    I have done more troubleshooting, and the results are positive so far - no more freezing!
    @SimplyPostive reported something unique: that the problem only happened while in the 3G network and not when in a wifi network.  I tested this and I had similar results.  The freezing only occured while I was on the 3G network and not when I was on a wifi network.
    This caused me to think that something might be causing the phone to freeze while connecting to the 3g network.... or maybe there is a data packet lingering around that is causing the issue.  Whatever it is, I decided that I'd reset "network settings" only. 
    I reset network settings and the problem has gone away.  Now, regardless whether I'm on 3G or wifi, the phone no longer freezes during swipe to unlock as reported in this thread.
    I'm going to re-install my grand theft auto game and bring down my availabe space to 730 mb again.  Hopefully it all works as expected.  If it doesn't, I'll report it, else it's all good to go.
    good luck.

  • After the IOS 8.0.2 update, my Iphone 5 has frequently been freezing.

    Normal?

    A restore from backup will not affect your data. You restore the phone and then restore the backup that you have made. Make the backup before you start the restore. If you restore as new, yes it will delete all of the data on your device.
    You are not addressing Apple here, this is a user forum, so the "bottomline for anyone at Apple" is falling on deaf ears. Feedback to Apple goes HERE, and click on the appropriate link.

  • How can I prevent my iPhone from making calls on its own?

    I often put my iPhone in my pocket. Sometimes I then discover that it is making calls on its own.
    How can I prevent this?
    Thanks.

    Turn on auto lock. I have never had my iPhone once do anything without me doing it.

  • Can't see the caller on my iPhone when making a vi...

    How do I set up my iPhone 4S to view the caller when making a video call. I can see me on my phone and the caller can also see me on their PC
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    I have the same problem (I can see me during a video call on my iphone 4s but can't see the other person). In my case, there is no duplicate contact issue...I simply can't see the other party and instead see a full screen image of myself. Help please!!

  • My 2G iPhone when connected makes iTunes freeze

    When I connect my old iPhone (I have 2, both active, the new 3G and original iPhone) it makes iTunes freeze, this happens when I click cancel on a "iPhone camera connected what action would you like to perform" window. So then it doesn't register on my iTunes cause it's frozen then I unplug it and it registers but now it's unplugged then iPhone icon disappears as if I unplugged it which by this point I have, and in the end the iTunes unfreezes but I'm not connected.

    You should be able to just click on the device's current name on the left-hand side of iTunes and type in the new name
