PC crashes when itunes is installed and I connect my iphone

I am running Windows XP Home and just reformatted my hard drive in an effort to figure out why my pc would crash every time I hooked up my iphone 4S via USB. The pc screen would go black immediately and then the pc would reboot.
I have service pack 3 and all my windows updates are up to date. All my drivers are also up to date. I have not installed a printer, web cam, or other imaging device. I could now plug my iphone in via USB and windows xp recognized it as an image device and opened a folder with all of my iphone photos inside it.
However, as soon as I installed the latest version of itunes and tried to conect my iphone to synch, my pc crashed as it had before, with the black screen and reboot. As long as itunes is installed it does this every time.
I uninstalled itunes and my pc went back to recognizing the iphone as an image device and opens a folder with all of my iphone photos inside it.
Any thoughts on what's happening here?  I am stumped and don't know what else to try.  Thanks!  :-)

Is your computer a laptop computer or a desktop?
Look at the underside if it is a laptop and you should find the make/model. Look at the back if it is a desktop.
Even more basic, is it a Mac (Apple computer) or a PC?
To find the OS if it is a PC, do a restart when it reboots it should say WindowsXP or Windows Vista, or Windows 7. If it is a Mac click on the Apple in the top left hand corner then click on About this Mac. A window will open and you should find the OS version number, like 10.4.11 or 10.5.8.

  • IE8 crashes when iTunes is installed

    Hi
    I have tried to download iTunes several times recently, and each time it installs OK, but when I tried to load up IE8, this doesn't work and gets a exception window. Each time, I have done a system restore, and it then IE8 works fine.
    Has anyone had this problem and how was it fixed.
    Thanks for your help
    Fraser

    Sounds like a plug-in error with IE8.
    Have you tried going into your Start -> Programs -> Accessories and looking for the shortcut link that opens IE8 with no add-ins?
    The only thing that iTunes would include is QuickTime, but I've never experienced this peronally... Additionally, the QuickTime add-in has to be enabled to work in IE8, unless you authroized it in the past through your other version. I would evaluate your plug-ins enabled and think about disabling the ones you don't use and then see if you can start it via your normal icon.
    Additionally if your IE8 doesn't start in this mode, then I would think there is a different error and non-related to iTunes, but just coincdental that they are acting up at the same time.

  • ITunes Match crashes when uploading final songs and artwork

    For some strange reason, everytime iTunes Match tries to run its course it crashes when uploading final songs and artwork. As a result I now have tons of albums with tracks showing "Waiting" and are not able to being played in any of my other devices such as iPhone 5 and Mac Mini, they're just showed greyed out.
    What could be causing this weird problem. BTW I'm stil using iTunes 10.7 since I didn't like the 11 one.

    Hi,
    There may be a faulty track that is preventing match process to complete.
    Do you have any large files waiting to be uploaded? What format are the songs "waiting" to be uploaded? You may need to delete those files from library but not moving to trash. If match completes the process, you can then start adding the songs a few at a time.

  • My 4S crashed when wanted to install 8.1.3

    My 4S crashed when wanted to install 8.1.3, and now I can't restore or update from iTunes 'Cos it says:
    "there was a problem downloading the software for the iphone. The network connection was reset.".... and also I get "error 3253".
    I'm on windows 8, and using the latest version of iTunes.
    can someone help me?

    You can try 2 things.
    1) A hard reset. Push down the "Home button" and "On/Off" button at the same time until your phone restarts and when you see the Apple logo release the buttons then try again.
    2) Download the ISWP file directly to you PC and restore the phone. (Hold down the Alt + Shift key when clicking "restore" in iTunes and you can find teh file via Windows explorer.
    Let me know if this helps

  • IPodService module crash when iTunes 10 is in installation process

    OS: Win XP pro with service pack 3 32bit
    iPodService module crash when iTunes 10 is in installation process. System says that they can't run module. iTunes is run but work incorrect (for example I can't postpone my purchases from the phone to iTunes). I think that the problem of incompatibility of iPodService module with Servise Pack 3.

    I am having the same problem. I am running Windows XP SP3. I got the same message about not being able to start the iPodService. It offered me the chance to ignore the problem so I did. Big mistake. iTunes seemed to work ok until I tried to upgrade to OS 4.1 on my iPhone. Apparently the service was needed for that because the ugrade failed and my iPhone is completely hosed. I can't use it at all.
    I uninstalled iTunes 10 and tried to find iTunes 9.2.1 on the Apple site but can not find it anywhere. I can only find the Mac version. I found the Windows version of 9.1.1 iTunes. So I downloaded and installed it.
    When I started iTunes 9.1.1 it complained that the library file was created with a later version of iTunes (makes sense because I had version 10 installed). So I deleted all the itl files. This blew away my library of course which ***** but I figured I could recreate it.
    So when I hooked my iPhone up, I tried to do a restore on it so I could get my iPhone going again. No luck. I got a message saying that it rquires at least iTunes 9.2.1.
    So now I am COMPLETELY SCREWED. My iPhone is dead in the water. My iTunes library is gone. And I see no way forward.
    iTunes 9.1.1 won't work for restoring my dead iPhone
    iTunes 9.2.1 for windows cannot be found anywhere on the apple site as far as I an tell. (would love to be proven wrong on this!)
    iTunes 10 won't install on my machine.
    I looked at the system event messages in windows XP. In the application events I see:
    Faulting application ipodservice.exe, version 10.0.0.68, faulting module ntdll.dll, version 5.1.2600.5755, fault address 0x0001b21a.
    and
    Product: iTunes -- Error 1920. Service 'iPod Service' (iPod Service) failed to start. Verify that you have sufficient privileges to start system services.
    In the System events I see:
    The iPod Service service failed to start due to the following error:
    The service did not respond to the start or control request in a timely fashion.
    In the security events I see no errors or warnings, just info messages. None seem to be related to the iPhone or iTunes.
    I disabled my Symantec Firewall and Antivirus. Did not seem to help the iTunes install. I'm gonna try again just to make sure

  • When itunes is installed missing file -45075 appears, any suggestions

    When itunes is installed missing file -45075 appears, any suggestions

    Me too.
    I have looked at 2-3 other posts, and they still fail to resolve this.
    I have reinstalled iTunes; I have repaired every other Apple component and ......
    Same message every time. 
    I am running fully updated Windows 8 (not 8.1 yet though)
    Looking at the number of posts in this discussion group, it does appear to be something that Apple could take a more proactive lead on.  Either a more meaningful error message, or ideally a fully loaded iTunes installation.
    COME ON GUYS - help us out here.
    If it wasn't that I NEED iTunes to manage and backup my phone, I'd uninstall the %^$*&^ lot.   That said, my 4G upgrade to the iPhone 5S is now in serious doubt ... maybe a time for a complete change.

  • My IPOD is already synced to iTunes.  My friend just acquired an iPhone and he wants to purchase an app through my iTunes.  Can he use my iTunes to install the app to his iPhone without screwing up my IPOD information already on my iTunes?

    My IPOD is already synced to iTunes.  My friend just acquired an iPhone and he wants to purchase an app through my iTunes.  Can he use my iTunes to install the app to his iPhone without screwing up my IPOD information already on my iTunes?  Also, how does he install ONLY that app on his iPhone without syncing my music also?  I haven't done this before with just an app.  Thanks.

    Since you and your friend aren't married or in the same household (I assume you wouldn't have referred to this person as "my friend" otherwise), what you want to do is not permitted by the terms of use of the iTunes Store.
    Your friend should create his own Apple ID. He can use your computer; just have him log into your computer with a user account you create just for him, not your own user account. Doing it that way is almost like having your friend use a different computer, since both Mac OS X and recent versions of Windows do a pretty good job of segregating the data of multiple user accounts.
    He can then purchase the app using iTunes and sync it to his iPhone. When he's done, he should log out of your computer.
    However, be aware that there is no reason to purchase an app using iTunes on a computer and to then sync it to the iPhone. Your friend can use the App Store app that's installed on the iPhone by default in order to download and install any app he likes from the iTunes App Store.

  • My new iMac with FCPX crashes when rendering complex templates and crashes when exporting with Motion 5

    My new iMac with FCPX crashes when rendering complex templates and crashes when exporting with Motion 5
    Using Motion 5.0.6 and Final Cut Pro X 10.0.7 on New iMac (December 2012)  Mountain Lion,

    During the rendering of complex FCPX mac crashes and I have to force a restart.
    I also happens when I try to export movies with Motion 5.
    Does anyone have the same problem with my new iMac?

    Problems such as yours are sometimes caused by files that should belong to you but are locked or have wrong permissions. This procedure will check for such files. It makes no changes and therefore will not, in itself, solve your problem.
    First, empty the Trash.
    Launch the Terminal application in any of the following ways:
    ☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
    ☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
    ☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Terminal in the icon grid.
    Triple-click anywhere in the line below to select it, then drag or copy it — do not type — into the Terminal window:
    find . $TMPDIR.. \( -flags +sappnd,schg,uappnd,uchg -o ! -user $UID -o ! -perm -600 -o -acl \) 2> /dev/null | wc -l
    Press return. The command may take a noticeable amount of time to run. Wait for a new line ending in a dollar sign (“$”) to appear.
    The output of this command, on a line directly below what you entered, will be a number such as "35." Please post it in a reply.

  • HT4061 I need help, I pluged my iphone and itunes said there was an update to download and update, I did but when itunes was rebooting and updating I got an error message. and now the phone is telling me that it cant be activated.

    I need help, I pluged my iphone to itunes and got a message that said there was an update to download and update, I did but when itunes was rebooting and updating I got an error message. and now the phone is telling me that it cant be activated, to plug it in to itunes or to contact support care.

    That message usually indicates that your phone was hacked to unlock it from the original phone carrier, then when you updated or restored it locked back to that carrier.

    Will iTunes open in safe mode? Hold down CTRL+SHIFT as, or immediately after, you click the icon that starts iTunes and keep holding until you see this prompt.
    Click Continue.
    Assuming iTunes has opened, enable the menu bar, if necessary, with CTRL+B. Then go to Edit > Preferences > Store and untick Show iTunes in the Cloud purchases. Press OK, close iTunes, wait until it has had a chance to fully close then reopen.
    Will iTunes open normally now?
    If not, see Troubleshooting issues with iTunes for Windows updates for genral advice.
    The steps in the second box are a guide to removing everything related to iTunes and then rebuilding it which is often a good starting point unless the symptoms indicate a more specific approach. Review the other boxes and the list of support documents further down page in case one of them applies.
    Your library should be unaffected by these steps but there is backup and recovery advice elsewhere in the user tip.

  • Since i uploaded ios 5 my ipad crashes when i use apps and safari.

    Hi,
    since i uploaded my ipad to ios 5 it crashes when i use apps and safari.
    i tried to restat it and also i reset it to the factory settings but nothing has changed.
    is there any software problems ??

    seems if I disable all security it works. Not a very good situation, tells me it's a port that is open that shouldn't be. I imagine it is fine on a mac, but on a pc it is an issue since most corporations use pc's.
