MDCrashReportTool quits on plug in of iPhone 3G

I am fairly sure I am on the only person who has a situation like this, but whenever I plug in my iPhone 3G. I get this a message saying "MDCrashReportTool unexpectedly quit" Does anyone else have this problem and if so is there a way you know how to fix it (e.i. a terminal command, a patch-- anything)
It really doesn't mess anything up that I know of, but it is still a inconvenience.
Here is a link to a screenshot of the window that appears.

I've had this problem across a few restores; one thing you can try if it annoys you a lot is to open Terminal and run:
sudo chmod -x /System/Library/PrivateFrameworks/MobileDevice.framework/Versions/A/Resources/A ppleMobileDeviceHelper.app/Contents/Resources/MDCrashReportTool
It'll ask for your password and then prevent anyone from executing the application. You can undo it with:
sudo chmod +x /System/Library/PrivateFrameworks/MobileDevice.framework/Versions/A/Resources/A ppleMobileDeviceHelper.app/Contents/Resources/MDCrashReportTool

I plug in my iPhone 5C into my computer, and it charges, but when I go onto iTunes it isn't appearing there so I can't sync it or copy music from my computer onto it. What can I do to fix this?

Well, I will explain. I got a new iPhone 5C last week, and since then I have not had time to plug it into iTunes on my computer as I was checking out all the new stuff (as it is my first iPhone). I also have an iPod touch 4th gen, which I was using before on which I had purchased lots of music and apps on. I was browsing my iTunes account today to find that a Katy Perry album I had bought was not appearing as "purchased" and available to download, it was instead coming up with the price of £7.99. Since I only have less than that on my account and have not credit card connected to my account, I thought I could at least try to see what would happen if I tapped to purchase it, knowing it couldn't charge me. Instead, I got a message saying that it had already been purchased or something like that. This got me quite confused, as I was sill not able to download it.
Knowing this, I was sure that the songs were on my account, so I got iTunes downloaded on laptop (latest version) in order to get them onto my iPhone. I plugged in my iPhone 5C, it was charging, but iTunes did not automatically open like it did before with my iPod Touch 4g. I then opened iTunes by clicking on the icon. iTunes opened but my phone wasn't showing up as a device. It is turned on and fully connected and charging, so I am really not sure why this is happening. If anyone could help it would be really good! Thanks!

ITunes was fine until I plugged in the iPhone into the computer

Now, it freezes up, and never does detect the iPhone. All apple usb cables look alike, but they also fall apart rather easily....so we're left with one between an iPod touch, an iPod classic, and an iPhone. I'm not sure if that is the compatibility issue or not.
The only key difference I can determine is that the computer I'm currently trying to jack into is Windows 7 based.
When I plug the iPhone into the computer, I don't get a real error msg attached to any kind of code, just a general "iTunes has stopped responding" in a little popup window giving me 2 choices: close the program, or search for a solution online and then close the program.
When I choose the latter, there is a search bar for ~5s and then iTunes closes. No solution presents itself.
This happens if iTunes is already running. This also happens if I let the act of plugging in the iPhone initiate the opening of iTunes.
Any ideas? Last check desktop iTunes was fully updated.
When I unplug the iPhone, iTunes functions normally.

I believe there is a problem with iTunes in the 64-bit version of 7. My husband initially installed the 64-bit version and then switched to the 32-bit because quite a few of the software packages he uses for work are not 64-bit compatible yet.
In 32-bit iTunes, he's had no problem syncing.

Bluetooth keyboard stops working when i plug in my iphone 5

Hi All...
Heres a question from the twilight zone where strange things happen.
My Hardware/Software used:
- iMac OSX 10.9.2
- Mac wireless Keyboard
- Logitech mouse performance MX
- iTunes 11.1.5 (5)
- iPhone 5 v7.1 (11D167)
I plug in my iPhone via USB cable, and iTunes pops up.. it detects the iphone but not 100% as it just hangs... then out of nowhere, the keyboard stops working as it looses its connection, the only way to restore the connection is to reset the iMac.
Any ideas?

Hello bladeryu,
Thank you for providing the details of the issue you are experiencing with iTunes quitting unexpectedly.
I recommend reviewing the following article to see if any third-party plug-ins could be causing the problem:
iTunes: Troubleshooting issues with third-party iTunes plug-ins
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3430
I also recommend verifying that your software is up to date. You can check for updates by going to Apple () menu > Software Update…
You can find more information here:

If the issue persists, I recommend reinstalling iTunes:

HT1386 After I plug in my iPhone, iTunes gets hung trying to back it up. Clicking the "x" next to the backup window does nothing.

After I plug in my iPhone, iTunes gets hung trying to back it up. Clicking the "x" next to the backup window does nothing.

Try this:
Quit iTunes.
Start an elevated command prompt (Start Menu>All Programs>Accessories>right-click "Command Prompt">choose "Run as Administrator")
Once in the command prompt, type "netsh winsock reset" and hit ENTER.
Reboot your machine.
Restart iTunes.
If that doesn't resolve it you'll have to go to iTunes>Preferences, on the Devices tab click on the backups shown and delete them. Then try syncing again.

I've broken my iPhone and have put my sim card in my old iPhone 3. If I plug my old iPhone 3 into my computer, will it update the iPhone 3 with everything that is on my phone that is now broken, or will it 'update' iTunes with what was on the old iPhone?

Plug your phone into the wall charger for at least 30 minutes...make sure you have a sim card in the phone...then:
Leave the USB cable connected to your computer, but NOT your phone, iTunes running, press & hold the home button while connecting the USB cable to your dock connector, continue holding the home button until you see “Connect to iTunes” on the screen. You may now release the home button. iTunes should now display that it has detected your phone in recovery mode, if not quit and reopen iTunes. If you still don’t see the recovery message repeat these steps again. iTunes will give you the option to restore from a backup or set up as new.
Make sure you have no anti-virus software running or any firewalls...turn all of that stuff off.

When I plug in my iPhone to sync, it starts but does not complete the process and several pieces of data are not being transferred to my iPhone from my MacBook Air.

Problem:
When I plug in my iPhone to sync, it starts but does not complete the process and several pieces of data are not being transferred to my iPhone from my MacBook Air.
Any help that you can provide in helping my iPhone accurately sync with iPhoto and iTunes will be greatly appreciated.
Symptoms:
1)   Sync: It’s not completing the sync. Below, I’ve provided all of my settings from the iTunes Summary tab so that you might tell me if I’ve selected any incorrect options. I prefer to sync the “old school” way – by connecting to the computer – as opposed to syncing over the cloud. Perhaps this is what’s causing the problem? Here is a list of the steps displayed in the iTunes window as the sync progresses:
waiting for sync to start (step 1 of 7)
backing up (step 2 of 7)
preparing to sync (step 3 of 7)
determining apps to sync (step 4 of 7)
preparing apps to sync (step 5 of 7)
importing photos (step 6 of 7)
waiting for changes to be applied (step 7 of 7)
syncing apps / copying 1 of 4 (App name) (step 7 of 7)
canceling sync
apple icon
2)   Photos: I've selected only certain of my iPhoto albums to sync to my iPhone. All of the albums are correct/complete in iPhoto. All of the albums are listed on my iPhone, both before and after the sync, but the albums are empty (no actual photos) before and after the sync. Perhaps this is tied to the fact that the sync isn’t completing, but because “importing photos” is one of the steps that the incomplete sync displays, I don’t know.
3)   Apps: When I launch iTunes and click on the Apps folder under the Library listing, then click on the Updates tab, iTunes searches for any Apps needing to be updated and provides a list. If I click on Update All, the Apps are successfully updated in iTunes. But, when I plug in my iPhone so that the updates will transfer to the apps on my iPhone, the updates don’t transfer to the apps on my iPhone and those apps still reflect that they need updating on the iPhone.
Other Potential Pertinent Info:
The flash memory hard drive on my MacBook Air recently died (perhaps a month or two ago). Apple had emailed me about a known issue and literally the next day, my MacBook Air crashed. I installed a new flash memory drive and re-installed everything from a backup off of an external hard drive. Everything seems to be working fine; it recreated accurately all of my software and data, including iPhoto and iTunes, the pictures and songs (respectively) for which are stored on that hard drive, as opposed to being on the flash memory in the MacBook Air itself. However, I don’t recall if the start of the sync problem described herein started happening at the same time that I replaced the flash memory drive. All I know is that the computer is working perfectly in all respects and that even as the sync is failing, it at least says that it’s doing the right things and looking in the right places (e.g., the list of albums on my iPhone matches the list of albums in iTunes, etc.).
Settings/Status:
MacBook Air
OSX v. 10.9
iPhoto ’11 v. 9.5 (902.7)
iPhone iOS 7.0.4
iTunes v. 11.1.3 (8)
Summary Tab
Backups (This Computer)
Options
Automatically sync when this iPhone is connected
Sync only checked songs and videos
Photos Tab
Sync Photos from iPhoto (429 Photos)
Selected albums, Events, and Faces, and automatically include (no Events)
Albums – 9 are selected

You need to download iTunes on your computer. iOS 6 requires the latest version of iTunes which is 10.7.

I've just bought an new laptop and downloaded itunes. I plugged in my iphone and upgraded to the newest itunes/ synched etc. Now I have no music or apps on my phone. The contacts photos and texts all seem fine. Just the itues stuff that's missing.

I have just bought a new computer and downloaded itunes. I plugged in my iphone and upgraded to the newest itunes/ synched etc. Now have no music or apps on the phone. Contacts, texts, photos all fine. Just all itunes content that is missiing. It isn't showing in my itunes account on my computer or on my phone. Any idea how to get it back? (No point synching with itunes on my computer as it isn't there either!)

I suggest copying your entire iTunes library to your new computer, also you might want to copy the photos you want to save. Then sync your device to the new iTunes and copy over your music, documents and photos that you want.
If you are no longer going to use the old computer you should open up iTunes on the old computer and use the menu to deauthorize it. Be sure to use the same iTunes menu on your new computer to Authorize the new one.

When I go to plug in my iPhone 5 to my PC it will charge my phone but it doesn't show up that it's connected to my computer or in iTunes. I have tried just about everything that I can find on the internet but nothing is working. Any other suggestions?

If you have carefully follow ALL of the steps in that article, you are using a USB port directly on your computer and not a USB hub (don't use a front port on a tower or desktop either, as they are an internal hub) and you installed iTunes correctly using an Administrator ID and you have tried disabling your antivirus and firewall then there is no hope of it ever working. Look at the tip again, and go through it carefully, not skipping any steps.
Note, BTW, that an iPhone will not show up on a computer, only in iTunes. If there are photos in the Camera Roll then it will appear in Windows as a digital camera only.

Right, more information:
Its definitely Itunes not my ipod. Problem does not exist on a windows xp machine I plugged my ipod into.
I have created a new user on my vista machine and this has not worked. I am just about to uninstall quicktime and itunes and all other apple products from my machine to resinstall them (I will also do a registry clean after the uninstall) I'm getting really fed up with this. There must be a better way of sorting out this problem than this. What actually is causing the issue. Do apple have support guys on this forum?

When I plug in my iPhone 4S into my computer the iTunes program doesn't open. Only the Music iTunes opens

I have not synced my iPhone for some months. When I plugged it into my computer the iTunes program does not launch. There is an iTunes icon installed but this only opens as a Music/video program. There is no side panel where I select my device, account, apps, etc. I have tried re-installing iTunes but there is no difference. AutoPlay opens when I plug in the iPhone offering file, picture etc sharing but nothing elso opens.

I had to re download itunes on my computer and when i plug in my iphone it says im connected to a different itunes library. is there a way to sync my iphone to the new library without erasing the stuff on my phone?

On my laptop i had itunes but recently i needed to delete everything on my laptop including itunes. When i went to update the music on my iphone i re downloaded itunes but when i plug in my iphone a message pops up saying my phone is connected to another itunes library. When i clicked sync it says that i have an option to erase and re sync my iphone. I dont really care about loosing my music but i dont want to lose all my pictures on my iphone. Is there anything i can do to keep them?

Syncing shouldn't trouch you photos unless you have photos in a Photo Library album. These would be photos that were synced to your phone from your computer. If you do have any, you'll need to use an app like PhotoSync to transfer them to your computer prior to syncing.
If you prefer to backup your camera roll photos prior to syncing, open iTunes and go to Preferences>Devices and check "Prevent...from syncing automatically". Then connect your phone to your computer and import them as explained here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4083.
Then, to minimize data loss, follow the steps in this user tip: https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-3141. To follow the steps, first open iTunes and go to View>Show Sidebar. Also, Transfer Purchases is now located in File>Devices.

I recently bought a new i phone 4 as my other one had seen beter days and for the last sevral days have been trying to transfer my photos ect from my old phone to my new one after I've plugged my old iPhone into iTunes to back it up i then plug in my one to transfer it over I've had no luck I've tryed restoring my new phone to the last time i backed up my old files the phone restores but always to its own backup point wen i first connected it to iTunes can anyone help me please?

Since this is the second computer you've had this problem with, I recommend you look for answers on the iPhone forum. My thinking is it is an iPhone issue rather than a computer issue (unless it is some software incompatibility).
