IPhone Shutting Down when I try to Synch to Itunes on iMac

Hi All,
This problem started a short time ago - not really sure which update of iTunes it was.
I connected my iPhone 4 model MC319LL/A system V7.0.4 (11B554a) to my USB port on my 2.8GHz Intel Core 2 Duo OSX 10.6.8 iMac PC (as per usual Synch procedure).
It starts a grayed iPhone tab with a circling ball indicating it is trying to connect to the detected iPhone. It never gets to the iPhone name stage though. Sits there for about 2 mins and then screen on the iPhone grays and the Apple symbol appears. There is a double buzz sound and the iPhone has shut down, then it restarts but iTunes is no longer attempting to connect to it.
As I can not Synch to iTunes I also can not restore from last back up as the iPhone never 'connects' to the iTunes Library. Anyone know why this is happening all of a sudden? I have plenty of space on the unit.   

OK, I followed the instructions for un-installing and re-installing iTunes and it seems to work again for me now. Hopefully it won;t break again!

  • My iphoto shuts down when i try to import photos  from iphone?

    my iphoto shuts down when i try to import or look at pictures. What to do?

    There are 9 different versions of iPhoto and they run on seven different versions of the Operating System. The tricks and tips for dealing with issues vary from version to version and OS to OS. So before anyone can help, they need information to work with. Basic stuff:
    - What version of iPhoto.
    - What version of the Operating System.
    - Details. What were you doing when the problem arose?
    - Did it ever work properly?
    - Are there error messages?
    - What steps have you tried already to solve the issue.
    Anything else you can think of that might allow someone else to understand your issue.
    With this kind of information somebody can develop a starting point for troubleshooting the issue.

    My iPad 2 is shutting down when I try to email a PDF I have created in pages. Why? Very frustrating....

    That is very interesting in that my iPhone was exhibiting similar behavior with the "blue screen of death" with Pages a few months ago. An update for Pages came out and when I installed the update, the problem disappeared.
    Is Pages completely updated on your iPad? Do you use iCloud with Pages? If you use iCloud, try turning it off. settings>Pages>Use iCloud>Off. You will not lose your documents since they will still be in iCloud even if you turn that off on your iPad.

  • IPhone shuts down when phoning

    Hello,
    when the battery goes to about 50%, my iPhone shuts down when I make a call (or receive) one. When I turn it on again (without charger) and try to make another call, it shuts down again There is no low battery warning!
    But I can use it for hours surfing the internet (WIFI or EDGE), playing music etc. I also tried to use (internet & music) it, till it shuts down and charge it for at least 6 hours. This doesn't help as well.
    Can I do anything else or do I have to replace it?
    Firmware is the latest 1.1.1
    Best regards
    René

    Sorry to hear you are having so much trouble.
    2 things to do before you seek service.
    1. Reboot the iPhone on your own. Hold down the button on the top and wait until you get the red bar telling you to slide to turn it off. Power down, reboot and see if the problem persists.
    2. If that doesn't work, Reset iPhone. Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    3. Final option is to restore the iPhone in iTunes. You'll lose some data, but if you back up first, you'll obviously be ok.
    An Apple genius will ask if you have tried these steps before proceeding. Good luck.

    MY Facebook app keeps shutting down when I try to open my inbox messages . It happens on both my iPhone and my iPad

    I'm having the same issue and I think I've figured out why: apparently, Facebook had an issue with it a few days ago and shut them off until they've fixed it. Here's a link to the info:

    You need to adjust your security stuff/ permissions and possibly use compatibility modes. It means that your licensing service is being blocked/ shut down.

  • My CS4 keeps shutting down when I try to use it,why?

    How can I stop my CS4 from shutting down when I try to save or even open a file in it?
    I have tried resetting the preferences file. This worked once but so far has not worked again(I found this solution just by googling). It is obviously a common problems but I cannot find a solution that works or an explanation as to why it happens.
    Please could someone at least explain what causes it? And preferably how to fix it?
    It cost a lot of money and I don' yet understand why I should lose the right to have a functional programme. I'm not interested in having any new features etc. It takes me ages to work out how to do easy thing each time a new programme comes out!
    Thanks

  • Pc powers down when i try to synch

    I recently updated to newest itunes version, now my pc powers down when i try to synch my ipod touch 3rd generation device.  After about 10 shutdowns I deleted all the apple software on my machine and reinstalled it but it still drops out when trying to synch up.  Any help would be appreciated, my pc is a gateway running vista home premium, it has 3 gb of memory and 500 gb hard drive.  Not sure what is triggering the power off other than Itunes.

    Update:  I think my problem may have had something to do with the number of apps i had in my library that were trying to get onto my ipod. I have unchecked the synch tab for the apps and it seems to be loading the music portion of my library without incident so far.  I will load the apps as I need them.

    Use the trackpad to scroll, thats what it was designed for. The scroll bars automatically disappear when not being used and will appear if you scroll up or down using the trackpad.
    This is a user-to-user forum and most people will post on here if they have problems. You very rarely get people posting to say there update went smooth. The fact is the vast majority of Mountain Lion users will not be experiencing any major problems with the OS, or maybe with apps which are not compatible, but thats hardly Apple's fault if developers don't update their apps.

    Computer shuts down when i try to sync my ipod

    Just took out the book from the library "Sams Teach Yourself itunes 10 in 10 minutes" by Brad Miser.
    Basics for problems syncing:
    -restart computer
    -make sure device is not out if power
    -try a different usb port...BTW....I contaminated a usb port by someone spilling drink on the usb port end of my ipod cord...bad...
    -run apple's web-based device assistant
