How to fix Lightroom crashing when importing pics

[HarjTT]

Thought I'd share this wee tip for LR with anyone that uses it:

If your using LR and starts crashing instantly when importing pics (even a single file) its due to a USB device - in my case it was my old ipod but mobile phones can also cause the crash. The only way to get it to stop crashing is disconnect those devices and it will start to work as normal.
