Itunes ''not responding'' when iphone connected

Hi
I have had an iphone 3g for 12 months and has been fine until very recently.
Whenever i connect it to itunes now it crashes itunes almost immediately. I have updated itunes but it hasnt solved it. It seems to charge the phone but just crashes itunes.as soon as i disconnect the cable itunes runs fine. however i have another iphone cable which i tried and it seemed to solve the problem but this solution only lasted about a week before the same thing occured. I have sinced purchased a new cable on the off chance and it still dosnt help?????
any advice

They sometimes get corrupted on the phone, thus can cause the problem you experienced. The suggestion to reinstall itunes was done first because we always want to try and preserve data. Since that didn't work, we start to look at potential data problems. Glad we got it worked out.
You're welcome.

  • Itunes not responding when iphone connected or when itunes is opened

    When I try to open iTunes on my windows 7 computer, it will not open completely before it says its not responding.  Sometimes itunes will open, but as soon as i plug in my iPhone 3s it will not respond.  I do not have any podcasts on the phone.

  • ITunes not Starting when iPhone connected

    I just got an iPhone 3G and installed iTunes 9.0.
    When I connect my iPhone to sync, iTunes does not start. I get the box:
    Camera connected
    Select the program to launch for this actiona
    Canon CameraWindow
    Microsoft Scanner and Camera Wizard
    If I manually start iTunes, I can see my iPhone but no Music or Movie subfolders under the device. And I can't drag any music from my library to the iPhone.
    Is there a conflict with my camera software or should it just work this way? I tried to uninstall all camera software but without success.
    I have gotten some music on the iPhone from syncing, but not all that I want.
    Thanks for the help.

    Reinstall iTunes 9. If that doesn't work, restart AMDS:

  • ITunes not opening when iPhone connected

    Hi
    My iTunes used to open and start syncing immediately I connected my iPhone - now it does not.
    I've made sure the 'open iTunes when this iPhone is connected' box is ticked, switched off the iPhone and restarted it, restarted my MacBook, reset the sync history, deleted podcasts, restored the iPhone - nothing works.
    Is this an iPhone OS 4.1 issue?
    I'm running an 3GS iPhone with 4.1, iTunes vers. 10, on a MacBook OS X 10.5.8

    I'm having the same issue. There is an "iphone assistant" walk-through page I've gone through but the steps ave not seemed to work for me. I deleted and reinstalled the latest iTunes, but when I plug in... nothing. The most I get is when my iphone is off and I plug in to my mac, it will turn on. No charge.

  • HT4097 my ipad not responding when i connected to pc

    my ipad2 not responding when i connected to pc, like no device connection to cpu

    Do you mean evil your device is not recognised in iTunes for Windows? If so,
    Firstly, make sure that your device is not hidden (left hand pane). If it just reads device then toggle between SHOW and HIDE.
    Secondly, try all the other ports on your computer, even a number of times.
    Thirdly, if you have another computer try plugging your device into it without taking any action, give it a moment, remove it and try it back in your other computer again.
    Failing all that, see here - http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1538
    And failing all that put the device into Recovery mode. See here and note the paragraph 'If you restore from a different computer.... ' down near the bottom of the page -

  • Can iTunes open and not iPhoto when iPhone connected?

    When I connect my iPhone 5 to my iMac, iPhoto opens and I have to manually open iTunes. Is it possible to have iTunes open automatically and not iPhoto when I connect the iPhone?

    Go to preferences of each program and set it up however you like.

  • ITunes not opening when device connected

    About a week ago, iTunes stopped opening when I connected my iPhone.  If I then open iTunes manually, the device will be recognized and will sync.  I checked in the system preferences and my Login Items had iTuneshelper checked, but the icon was a blank piece of paper and on the righ margin there was a yellow triangle with an exclamation point in it.
    I don't necessarily want iTunes to open when I connect my iPhone, but I would like to be in control of if it does or doesn't.
    How do I set this straight?

    Select the iPhone under Devices left side of the iTunes window.
    Select the Summmary tab from the menu.
    Select or deselect:  Open iTunes when this iPhone is connected
    And from the iTunes menu bar click iTunes / Preferences then select the Devices tab.
    You can select to have the iPhone sync automatically (or not) there.
    Or, right or control click the iPhone under Devices then make a selection.

  • ITunes not responding when I plug in my iPod

    Hey all, I need some help. Recently when I plug my iPod into my PC to update my iPod with the new music that I have loaded into iTunes, as soon as I do iTunes stops working and when I checked in my windows task manager under appplications/status it says iTunes is not responding. when my iPod is not plugged in, iTunes works fine. I can't get past this. Yes I did load the updated software, it didn't help. Does anyone have any suggestions?
    Thanks,
    Todd

    This is also happening to me updated latest version of Itunes. Itunes works fine but doesn't show the ipod when I attach. Tried most of the hints on the web site but nothing is working. Plugged the ipod into my base station and hey presto it works fine. I have also tried top re load the ipod software on the lap top but this isn't working either it asks for the ipod to be plugged in when it is plugged in it doesn't see it. Yet in windows explorer you can see the ipod is connected. Any idea's anyone. Shall i try to install version 6.0.0 of itunes instead of the latest version ?

  • Itunes not responding when I sign into my apple ID. Otherwise itunes is working fine

    Itunes functions properly when I am not signed into my Apple account. As soon as I sign in, it starts freezing and says Itunes not responding. It also normally saves my apple ID in itunes every time I open the application, but now each time I do it makes me sign in again. So frustrated...how do I fix this?

    You are logging into the account that you bought those games with, and you haven't changed countries since buying them ? If they don't show in the Purchased tab in the App Store app on your iPod then do they show on the account's purchase history : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2727 ? If they do then are they hidden from the Purchased tab : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4919 ?

  • Itunes not responding when connecting iPhone 4s

    Every time I connect my iPhone 4s to my iMac with iTunes open, iTunes stops responding. iPhoto comes up ok, but iTunes just has the coloured circle cursor and I have to force quit iTunes. i have tried reloading iTunes. iTunes won't let me send it to trash either. Help getting exasperated.
    Thanks

    Back up all data before proceeding.
    Triple-click anywhere in the line below on this page to select it:
    ~/Library/Application Support/SyncServices
    Right-click or control-click the line and select
              Services ▹ Reveal in Finder (or just Reveal)
    from the contextual menu.* A folder should open with an item selected. Quit the application if it's running. Move the selected item to the Trash. Relaunch the application and test.
    *If you don't see the contextual menu item, copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination  command-C. In the Finder, select
              Go ▹ Go to Folder...
    from the menu bar and paste into the box that opens by pressing command-V. You won't see what you pasted because a line break is included. Press return.

  • ITunes does not open when iPhone connected.

    When I connect my iPhone to my iMac, iTunes does not open. The iTunes option to open iTunes when this iPhone is connected is checked.
    What is the name of the iTunes preference file that I can put in the trash to try to get this to work correctly?
    Thank you.

  • ITunes not Opening when iPhone is connected

    My iPhone is synced to my home computer (Mac), but I often use my work computer (PS) to charge while at work. Before I was doing this, I had no issues with iTunes and my personal computer, but now when I connect my phone to my personal computer iTunes won't open on its own. I've read on another post that I needed to reinstall iTunes. I reinstalled iTunes, plugged in my phone and it iTunes opened. Problem solved! Two days later problem is back. I know that it can be fixed again by reinstalling iTunes, but I don't want to do this each time. Any help/ideas?

    In iTunes > Preferences > Advanced > click Reset warnings and Reset cache buttons.
