Itunes crashes/hangs  when connecting iphone!

Hi, I wasn't sure if this was supposed go into the itunes forums so please excuse...
When I connect my iphone to my itunes it simply 'hangs' It doesn't actually crash with an error, I just can't can't select anything in itunes or scroll or anything. If I then disconnect my iphone, itunes works normal again. If my iphone is connected and I start itunes, itunes won't start. The moment I disconnect my iphone, itunes pops up immediately. I tried connecting my iphone to other pc's and laptops. Some display the same problem and others don't. I've been to apple and to T-mobile (I'm in the netherlands) and they won't give me a new phone because they can't find the problem.
I have to close Itunes via the taskmanager and re-open itunes ranging from 3-25 times before I get lucky and itunes starts, recognizes my iphone and works properly.
At first I thought that it could have been my computer but when I connect my ipod nano, itunes works just fine. I tried formatting my windows xp, different chipset drivers for my motherboard etc, none of them worked. I tried different version of itunes, different iphone firmwares, I restored a couple of times and none of it worked. I recently updated my firmware to 3.0 hoping it would solve the problem but to no avail. I tried different cables (iphone and ipod nano) and this doesn't work either. I tried different usb ports and no luck either.
The problem DEFINITELY lies with the Iphone!
This is bugging the **** out of me and I've been dealing with it for WEEKS, but I can't find the solution.
Help me please because I'm getting desperate and just want to through the phone out the window.

  • ITunes constantly hanging when connecting iphone

    I've been unable to connect my iPhone 5s to iTunes for about a month.  My mac book air is up to date, as is my iPhone.
    How do I uninstall iTunes to then enable me to reinstall to see if that helps?
    If not, any other advise appreciated

    Hello Linc
    I've done all that, and iTunes still hangs as soon as I plug in my phone.

  • ITunes freezes up when connect iPhone 6

    iTunes 11.4 freezes up in y MacBook Pro when connect iPhone 6. I need to synchronize my info. Tks

    I am running iTunes v12.1.1.14 on Windows 7 and I was experiencing the same problem. I found out that the issue started when uninstalling "iCloud". I do not want to use iCloud, but once I reinstalled it I could perfectly synchronize again. I hope this works out for some of you.

  • SOLUTION (Potential) iTunes Hangs when Connecting iPhone or iPad - Win 7 64 bit

    Ever since upgrading to Windows 7 64 bit, I have had an issue with iTuneshanging EVERY TIME when I connect my iPhone 4 or iPad 2 (iTunes Version on myPC is 10.2.2.12) - it will not respond until I disconnect the device theniTunes works again, until a plug in a device..... very frustrating as I can'tsync my devices.
    I may have found a solution online and present it here in hopes that ithelps others with this issue (And based on a Google search, there are MANY,MANY others having the same issue).
    "Run iTunes "As Administrator" every time you openit. - To do this, right click on the iTunes icon on the desktop and choose"Run As Administrator" - you should only need to do this once and itwill remember the setting."
    I did this and now when I launch iTunes from the Desktop Icon Windows givesa pop-up saying "Are you sure you want to run this program asAdministrator" - I just say yes and iTunes opens, it recognizes my devicesand syncs without any issues, I have been running like this for 6 days nowsyncing both devices multiple times without issue.
    Hope this helps.

    Thanks, it certainly does.
    My iTunes has this exact problem with my 3GS, which only started since the last itunes / iOS upgrade.
    Initially I got it working by changing the sync cable's usb port, but this isn't very reliable.
    Your solution however works perfectly.

  • Itunes becomes unresponsive when connecting iphone/going into preference

    Hi!
    When I open Itunes it works fine, but it becomes completely unresponsive (doesn't crash, just stuck and does not responds) when I either connect my device (which is recognised by my PC W7 62bit) or when I try to go into preference via the edit tab (same results)
    It worked flawless about a month or two ago, I didn't sync since then until this time around. Have not changed anything, and I tried restarting multiply times, waiting a few days, updating, repairing and reinstalling. What can I do?

    When I open Itunes it works fine, but it becomes completely unresponsive (doesn't crash, just stuck and does not responds) when I either connect my device (which is recognised by my PC W7 62bit) or when I try to go into preference via the edit tab (same results)
    A preference file may have gone bad for you. (That can produce both sorts of symptoms.)
    I'd try a rebuild of the preferences files.
    First, quit iTunes if you have it open.
    Next, you'll need to make sure you are set up to view hidden files and folders in Vista (or 7).
    1. From the Start menu, click Open.
    2. In the Organize menu, click Folder and Search Options.
    3. Click the View tab.
    4. In the "Advanced settings" pane under "Hidden files and folders" make sure that the "Show hidden files and folders" option is selected.
    5. Click OK.
    Next, you'll rebuild the preference files. We'll do it one at a time, testing connection of devices and trying to go into the preferences after each one.
    6. In Computer, open Local Disk: C or whichever drive your documents are stored on.
    7. Open the Users folder.
    8. Open the folder with the name of the Vista user account in which Pat is getting the Books tab hang.
    9. Open the AppData folder.
    10. Open the Local folder.
    11. Open the Apple Computer folder.
    12. Drag the iTunes folder out onto the Desktop.
    Now you'll rebuild the preference folder and file.
    13. Launch iTunes. This will cause iTunes to rebuild that preference folder and file. The license agreement will appear for you again. (That is expected behavior when that particular preference folder and contained file are being rebuilt.)
    14. Go "Edit > preferences, and check to see if there's a hang
    15. Attach the device and check to see if there's a hang.
    If there's still a hang, you can replace the "rebuilt" iTunes pref folder with the one on the desktop again. Then we'll try rebuilding the other preference files.
    16. In Computer, open Local Disk: C or whichever drive your documents are stored on.
    17. Open the Users folder.
    18. Open the folder with the name of the Vista user account in which Pat is getting the Books tab hang.
    19. Open the AppData folder.
    20. Open the Roaming folder.
    21. Open the Apple Computer folder.
    22. Drag the iTunes folder out onto the Desktop.
    Now we'll rebuild that one ...
    23. Launch iTunes. This will cause iTunes to rebuild that preference folder and file. The iTunes Setup assistant will run. (That is expected behavior when that particular preference folder and contained file are being rebuilt.) *Do not add any files when prompted to do so.* Otherwise you'll end up with a library full of duplicates.
    24. Go "Edit > preferences", and check to see if there's a hang.
    25. Attach the device, and check to see if there's a hang.
    Any better luck with rebuilding the second set of preferences? (If no joy, the ones on the desktop now can be swapped out for the rebuilt (Roaming) set.

  • Preventing iTunes from launching when connecting iPhone?

    I just want to put my iPhone in the cradle to charge it, not sync it or open any apps or anything else. Just charging. I have turned off the "automatic sync" feature in iTunes, so at least it doesn't sync every time i put my phone back, but I would really like to be able to not having to close iTunes all the time. It was easy fixing the auto-launch for iPhoto - is there a similar (or any, for that matter) that can fix the same thing for iTunes? Thx.
    (BTW, I have all the software upgrades possible.)

    There is a couple ways to accomplish this
    1. In the Summary screen uncheck automatically sync. Keep in mind you will now how to tell it when to sync.
    2. If you go to iTunes Preferences, then Syncing. You and Disable Syncing of any devices connecting to iTunes. And you will have to manually press the button to sync
    Hope this helps

  • Itunes freeze PC when connecting iPhone

    Hi all,
    When I start my PC from hibernation mode and open iTunes whenever I connect my Iphone to sync it, my laptop PC freezes and the only way to make it work is, hold the power button until it shuts down and then turn the laptop on.
    This starting to happen when I installed the settings carrier update for the iPhone(not firmware 2.2.1)
    Is anyone having the same problem????

    Hey,
    Try disconnecting the other USB devices from the PC. Make sure the iPhone is directly connected to a USB 2 port on the PC, using the cable that came with it.
    Also, try the tips in this article: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1717

  • Stop iTunes popping up when connecting iPhone

    Hi,
    everytime when I insert my iPhone to its cradle, iTunes pops up in front of all others screens and shows the message 'connecting to iPhone'. I make way to many calls a day while working on my Mac so this popping up gets really annoying. Is there a way to change this?
    Thanks! Naan

    Yes, you have to deselect it in iTunes by going to:
    iTunes > Preferences > Syncing > disable autosyncing of iPhone and iPod.

  • ITunes 11.1 hangs when connecting to iCloud. How can I download 11.0.5?

    Arrrrgh! iTunes 11.1 hangs on my system Windows 7 x64 when trying to connect to iCloud. It runs fine if I start it in safe mode (I have no third party plug-ins installed).
    How do I download iTunes 11.0.5???? I've been searching on the Internt for the last 1/2 hour and it looks like Apple prevents users from downloading 11.0 once 11.1 (piece of crap) is out. WHY?????????

    Hi,
    I've been able to resolve the problem of iTunes crashing by emptying the SycServices folder - by following the steps described at the foot of this comment. I've also been able to sync my iPhone contacts with my Address Book ...but I cannot sync my Address Book with Outlook 2011 ...  and thus my iPhone linking to Outlook 2011.
    I'm aware that 'Sync Services' were depreciated in 10.8 and was hoping that this would be restored in full in v: 10.9.3. I understand that MicroSoft needs Sync Services to be reintroduced into the OS to enable the sync to work again for linking up with Outlook 2011 - which appear to be blank in my Sync Services preferences window as follows ....
    I would be mighty grateful for any ideas/solutions on how to resolve this problem. Synching Outlook 2011 with my iPhone was so easy in the past!

    Thanks for your reply. My Mac is running 10.5.8: it's 4 years old.  When I try to update the OS software, I'm told there are none available.
    Be careful - there's a difference between update and upgrade.  Your machine is saying there are no updates available, meaning no later versions of OS X 10.5 (Leopard).  However, you can very likely upgrade - at least to OS X 10.6 (Snow Leopard), and possibly then to OS X 10.8 (Mountain Lion).
    Updates are free, but upgrades cost a bit.  That's the dirference.

  • ITunes freezes and doesn't respond when connecting iPhone 4

    Well yesterday I had the two of the most common problems that a lot of people seem to be having with iTunes after the latest update- opening iTunes and not getting my iPhone 4 to be recognized. I solved the iTunes problem last night and iPhone is now being recognized on my computer but when I connect it to my computer iTunes automatically freezes and stops responding. When I disconnect it and restart iTunes it responds again and runs smoothly like nothing happened.
    When it freezes beside "iTunes Store" it says "iPhone" and it seems like it freezes while it's trying to sync my phone. I've tried restarting my computer, leaving it connected before starting iTunes, waiting until iTunes comes up to connect it, but whatever I do iTunes just won't work with my iPhone connected. Any ideas on how to fix this?
