It will keep shutting down and rebooting until i unplug the iphone. It worked at one time. After firmware upgrades to my iPhone 16gb, everytime I try to sync the device, the PC shuts down and reboots and does the same thing again. I am reading here that I must first delete photos from my iPhone (or email 125 photos!) and I suppose that may work but I wonder if there may be another solution. I do get a little pop up on the bottom tool bar that acknowledges a USB device present. The message annotates that a camera device has been connected. This is on my XP system. On my Vista, it sees the iPhone as well as a camera device. Sounds like XP problem to me. I do not really know. Thanks for this website and the possible help. I'v had my iphone 3G for a week now without any issue. Today I can't plug it in via USB without the PC going to blue screen. Right before the shut down I can see it recognizes the the iphone as a digital camera. What's different that it doesn't work now?
Download the latest iTunes to your computer and reset the iPhone. Then re-sync it.
Reset
To reset iPhone, press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button at the same time for at least 10 seconds. During this time, a red "power off" slider may appear and the screen may go black, but do not release Sleep/Wake and Home buttons until the Apple logo appears.
If iPhone won't turn on, or the display freezes or doesn't respond
More resets:
Try This:
1. Remove Sim Card
2. Hold in 'Home' button and 'On/Off' button together until Apple logo appears
3. Replace Sim Card
4. Hold in 'Home' button and 'On/Off' button together until normal phone screen appears.
Also, Try this:
1.) Shut down the iPhone 3G.
2.) Start up iTunes
3.) Hold down HOME button on the iPhone 3G
4.) While keeping the HOME button depressed, plug in the Sync cable
5.) A message will pop up to ask if you want to reset.
6.) Just click YES and the reset process should start.
