Itunes hangs every time i connect iphone3G on every computer i plug it into

Hi all
I am having a problem...itunes hangs literally every time i connect iphone3G on every computer i plug it into.. I use windows XP and have even just bought a brand new laptop, installed itunes and it does the same on that. It indicates to me that the lead may be faulty (tried different lead and same issue) or there's something in the phone OS that tries to start but doesn't when plugged in ...
When i do ctrl alt del and crash out of itunes the iphone happily charges itself so its not the USB ports...oh and i have left it running for hours so it's not a time issue...
I am at my wits end.

I have not seen a blue screen. iTunes simply hangs, forever, until I crash it.
I have tried on multiple different computers and it happens on all of them. ItUnes runs fine but when i try to connect it iTunes hangs. I have also tried plugging it in before and after iTunes kicks in but the result is the same.
This of course means that I cannot update the OS or download/organise music...eeek

How to stop my iPhone from opening iPhoto every time I connect it to a computer?

I want to stop my iPhone from opening iPhoto whenever I connect it to a computer. I DON'T want to disable iPhoto on the computers because I use different ones. I want to disable the iPhone from being recognised as a camera in any computer.
TAHNK YOU.

That's a privacy concern. So, if someone steals your iPhone, even though that person doesn't have the password, he/she can still have access to your personal files just by connecting your iPhone to any computer. That doesn't really make sense.

Deleted/edited original iPhoto files and photos import every time I connect

I think I may have done a bad thing...
I was moving photos from my computer to my external hard drive and deleted and edited some originals iPhoto files. Now, every time I connect my camera, every photo imports and it takes forever! Is there any way I reverse this or is this a lost cause?
Help, please!

Can you run that one by us again...

How did you do this?

Isn't that what you want to happen?

Reverse what?

While updating my iphone 4s to ios6, I had to restore it. Now every time I connect to itunes, I get the "Set Up Your iPhone" window with the set up as new iphone and restore from backup options. After the restore, I got everything except my apps back.

I just bought a new Iphone and when I connected it to itunes and I downloaded the backup from my last device, now I can't pass this step and every time I connect it to itunes is the same thing.

I just bought a new Iphone and when I connected it to itunes and I downloaded the backup from my last device, now I can't pass this step and every time I connect it to itunes is the same thing. And I can't download any app because problems with my account regarding the credit card but the information is correct and it says it is not!!!

You'll have to contact iTunes store support regarding your credit card information problem: http://www.apple.com/emea/support/itunes/contact.html. I'm not clear on what you're saying about your backup. Are you saying that when you connect to iTunes it's asking you to restore from backup even though you already have?

I recently dug out my old 160gb iPod Classic. Every time I connect it to iTunes, the program freezes and/or crashes. My computer recognizes that the iPod is plugged in, (it's accesible under "My Computer") but iTunes doesn't acknowledge it, at all. Help?

I know the Classic is outdated, but my other iPod doesn't have nearly as much room. Can anyone help with this?

iTunes states " There's a problem with your Iphone, please contact apple service center " Also i took my iphone to a local service man and he told me the IMEI code has been corrupted and there's nothing that can be done about it. Please help, if you have any solution.
Thank you

Itunes crashes every time I connect my Ipod..

I had my Ipod connected while running a software update 1-2 weeks ago. Shortly after the update completed, my computer gave me "A computer must be restarted" mesage, and promptly shut down all the programs I was using and rebooted. Currently, not only does Safari refuse to operate, my Itunes crashes every time I connect my Ipod, preventing me from altering information or transferring songs. I've done everything but 'restore'-- I'm afraid that if I reset my Ipod, I'll lose the songs I already have.

Every time I connect my iphone 4 to itunes it wants to either restore from backup or set up as a new phone.

every time I connect my iphone 4 to itunes it wants to either restore from backup or set up as a new phone. I've restored it 5 times already, i don't want to lose any of my data. Any ideas?

I had the same issue. Tried unplugging whilst it was restoring about 5 times - didnt work. I ended up clicking "set up as new iphone" and TADA it worked. I can now edit on itunes. I do however have every single app I've EVER downloaded on my phone. Apple should really make it so they go back on exactly how they were before!

Every time I connect my iPhone 4s to iTunes on my Mac, it tries to set up my phone as a new one/restore from back up. I have it all set up already, but it keeps appearing. What do I need to do to stop this?

Hello there, deelish.
A great Knowledge Base article that has some valid information is:
iTunes: Specific update-and-restore error messages and advanced troubleshooting
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3694
The pertinent section for you would be:
Restore loop (being prompted to restore again after a restore successfully completes)
Troubleshoot your USB connection. If the issue persists, out-of-date or incorrectly configured third-party security software may be causing this issue. Please follow Troubleshooting security software issues.
Thanks for reaching out to Apple Support Communities!

Already watched a movie but now it downloads EVERY TIME I CONNECT TO ITUNES

Driving me up a wall -- every time I connect to iTunes, it tries to download old purchases to my computer. Immediately and without warning. I watched these purchases years ago and never want to download them again. I just want them in my iTunes account for downloading or watching on Apple TV if I ever feel like it, but don't need them on my computer or device. How do I tell iTunes to stop doing this? Every time I connect, it starts downloading them and I go and delete all the downloads right when they start, but it happens every time.
Note: it may be that I never fully downloaded the videos to my computer. Because I watched them on Apple TV or something. But still, I don't ever want to download them. How can I stop this? It's a huge problem downloading anything on my laptop because it's old -- I rarely use my laptop and the only thing I ever used iTunes for is backup old media that was imported from CDs, etc.

The 3G stops at iOS 4.2.1 does not support abve that level .

Maybe you should get new friends.
I'm not sure that recovery mode works when you have to trust the computer, but did you try it?
If you can't update or restore your iOS device - Apple Support
If that won't work, perhaps you can use Find my iPhone from a computer in your iCloud.com account to erase the device.
iCloud: Erase your device - Apple Support
This has nothing to do with the Find my iPhone app being installed on the phone, but you do have to have Find my iPhone activated in the iCloud settings on the phone.

Try disconnect your computer from the internet and see if you can open iTunes and connect your device without crash.
if iTunes does open without crash, go to iTunes Menu Edit > Preferences, "Advanced" tab and click the "Reset Cache" button, OK.
Close your iTunes.
Now, use Windows Explorer to delete the contents of Music\iTunes\iTunes Media\Download
You may now re-connect your internet then see if you can open iTunes and connect your device without issues.
