When i plug iphone 4 into computer Itunes stalls
Every time I go to try to put music or apps from my mac to my iPhone4 itunes doesn't work. It'll get a bar on the top saying "backing up iPhone" but it never backs it up. Every time i try to click on something the rainbow waiting mouse comes up and iTunes stops working. So now I am unable to get any of my music or apps on to my iPhone. What do i do?
Welcome to the discussions,
if you have any photos stored on it, copy them to your Mac and delete them on the phone afterwards before you sync, maybe some of them can't be read.
If this does not solve your problem, copy your backup folder, located here ~/Library/Application Support/MobileSync/Backup/ , to a save place, delete the backup in iTunes/settings/devices and try again.

When I plug phone into computer, Itunes wants me to restore (3GS OS4update)
Since I updated to os4 my iphone has been terrible, It is slow, I keep getting the "Crash Tool" error when syncing and most troubling is not every time but frequently when I plug it in Itunes tells me I have to restore from backup or as a new phone. What is this?
So you're trying to set up your wife's phone as a new device? Just go to settings > general > reset > erase all content and settings, and you'll get a new device

I can not restore and upgrade my Iphone 4. When i plug in to computer itune's restore and check for update buttons are not active. What is that mean?
Razmee,
Guess what? After posting, I read another thread on this topic where someone said they went to an Apple store and the tech person there added the optional username and password in the Outgoing Mail Server boxes, and then reset the phone again. Although I had tried resetting and restarting a few times today, I had NOT reset it after entering the username and password into the optional fields.
When I entered my username and password into the optional fields, the iPhone entered checks (ticks) to the right of every entry; it had not done this earlier. (I didn't reset at this time, and the outgoing mail would still not transmit).
So just now, I reset it and the outgoing email was sent!
Thanks to you and this forum, it's a great ending to a few frustrating days.
I hope this message helps others. Not only does everything have to be entered correctly in the respective boxes; but once everything is entered and you press the "Done" button, every box should then have a check mark next to it and then you must reset the phone. -
When plugging iPhone into computer to sync DELL computer shuts down
I am trying to sync my iPhone (adding new music). When I plug my phone into my DELL computer , it first recognizes the hardware , then computer screen goes blank. I have tried different USB ports.
I get an error saying NET Framework, and have tried to install this software but then it says not compatible.
Also I called support and the rep suggested to open MSN as my browser and that did help previously, but now I am having the same problem with my computer screen going blank when I plug in my phone.
Is there anything anyone can suggest to do?Does it display a blue screen with diagnostic information before shutting down? Do you have a scanner or Webcam? If so you need to upgrade the drivers for these. See

Post relates to: Pre p100eww (Sprint)Hello mhammon1212 and welcome to the Palm forums.
Have you tried to restart your Pre? To restart your Pre, do the following:
1. Launch the Device Info application.
2. Scroll down to the bottom of the page and tap Reset Options.
3. Then tap the Restart button.
Once the Pre reboots, try to use the Media Sync or USB mode options again.

When I first got my iphone i plugged it into my friends computer and added songs from their itunes. Now when i plug it into my computer it will not connect or show up in the sidebar in itunes. I have already tried factory resetting the phone and 'authorizing this computer' in itunes. Can anyone help?
Is your iTunes up to date, it is now 10.7, click the iTunes button at the top of this page if you need the new version.

My iPhone 4 will not turn on, when I plug it into my computer and load up iTunes its in recovery mode and the only option is to restore my device to factory settings, I have no back up of my phone I've also tried the home/sleep button thing but nothing, I have literally done every method I was told, I checked for water damage and that's fine. I don't want to restore my phone or buy a new one or pay for repairs because that's wasting money when it could be a simple way to fix it. And yes, I've also tried charging it and turning it in. I really need some help with my phone
That does happen. It depends on how hard the server is being hit, as well as the connection speed of your system. If you are on a windows system, you will want to disable any antivirus or firewall software during the download.

Hey beaches37,

So yeah...last night I was checking out my iPod (bored at the in-laws) and all of a sudden the screen went blank and the only thing I can get it to do is have the black screen w/ the white apple logo on it. It won't turn on, doesn't give the the option to power down, it won't charge, AND it's NOT being recognized when I plug it into my computer. Not by iTunes OR my computer. I've tried holding down the top button and the home button at the same time...nothing. And since it's not being recognized on my computer, I cannot restart it or go back to factory settings. Someone please help! I've had it for 18 months so the warranty is no longer valid and I don't know how to fix it. THANK YOU in advance!
- I would try placing the iPod in recovery mode and then see if iTunes will see the iPod. try both with the iPod not connected to the computer and with it connect. For recovery mode see:
iPhone and iPod touch: Unable to update or restore
- Next see if placing the the iPod in DFU mode will make it visible
