  • TS1702 Why does my mac open with iphoto when I connect my iPhone

    When I connect my iPhone to my Mac Mini the Mini opens automatically to iPhoto and just sits with the wheel spinning.  I have to force quit to exit.   My mini is set to automatically open in Itunes when conncected to an iPhone.  Not happening.  Any thoughts?

    iPhoto SHOULD open if you have photos in the Camera Roll, just like it would with any digital camera.
    For the problem with it not appearing in iTunes see: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1591

  • Why does iTunes no longer open automatically when iPad is connected?

    Why does iTunes no longer open automatically when iPad is connected? and iPhone as well?  Setting to "auto open" is selected, but iTunes will not open automatically. Problem seems to have begun with upgrade to Lion.

    Good luck getting an answer...I posted the same question a day ago.   I can only assume it's a glitch in iTunes 10.5.

  • If i create a new itunes on a new computer and then connect my iphone to it will it clear my phone or simply copy all apps and items to the new itunes?

    If i create a new itunes on a new computer and then connect my iphone to that computer will it clear my phone or simply copy all apps and items to the new Itunes?

    Do not create a new iTunes account... accounts cannot be merged.
    Install iTunes on the new computer.
    Syncing of iDevices does not import content to a computer, the sync is one way from computer to iDevice.

  • Upgraded to itunes 11.4 and now when i connect my iphone 4s..itunes crash!!!!

    upgraded to itunes 11.4 and now when i connect my iphone 4s..itunes crash!!!!when the iPhone is disconnected iTunes is working properly....
    please help me!!!

    Launch the Console 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 Console in the icon grid.
    Step 1
    For this step, the title of the Console window should be All Messages. If it isn't, select
              SYSTEM LOG QUERIES ▹ All Messages
    from the log list on the left. If you don't see that list, select
              View ▹ Show Log List
    from the menu bar at the top of the screen.
    In the top right corner of the Console window, there's a search box labeled Filter. Initially the words "String Matching" are shown in that box. Enter the name of the crashed application or process. For example, if iTunes crashed, you would enter "iTunes" (without the quotes.)
    Each message in the log begins with the date and time when it was entered. Select the messages from the time of the last crash, if any. Copy them to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. Paste into a reply to this message by pressing command-V.
    ☞ The log contains a vast amount of information, almost all of which is irrelevant to solving any particular problem. When posting a log extract, be selective. A few dozen lines are almost always more than enough.
    Please don't indiscriminately dump thousands of lines from the log into this discussion.
    Please don't post screenshots of log messages—post the text.
    ☞ Some private information, such as your name, may appear in the log. Anonymize before posting.
    Step 2
    In the Console window, select
              DIAGNOSTIC AND USAGE INFORMATION ▹ User Diagnostic Reports
    (not Diagnostic and Usage Messages) from the log list on the left. There is a disclosure triangle to the left of the list item. If the triangle is pointing to the right, click it so that it points down. You'll see a list of crash reports. The name of each report starts with the name of the process, and ends with ".crash". Select the most recent report related to the process in question. The contents of the report will appear on the right. Use copy and paste to post the entire contents—the text, not a screenshot.
    I know the report is long, maybe several hundred lines. Please post all of it anyway.
    If you don't see any reports listed, but you know there was a crash, you may have chosen Diagnostic and Usage Messages from the log list. Choose DIAGNOSTIC AND USAGE INFORMATION instead.
    In the interest of privacy, I suggest that, before posting, you edit out the “Anonymous UUID,” a long string of letters, numbers, and dashes in the header of the report, if it’s present (it may not be.)
    Please don’t post other kinds of diagnostic report—they're very long and rarely helpful.

  • TS1717 I have iPhone 4s. I downloaded iTunes to my PC and when I connected my iPhone to the PC iTunes showed a message that my device's time limit has expired. So iTunes doesn't allow me to transfer files from my iPhone to my PC .

    Carmell-
    When I've had a similar problem, it was because I was accessing the iTunes store from a device I hadn't used before, such as when I upgraded from an iPad 1 to the iPad 2.  It was a little confusing to me until I figured it out.
    All I had to do was use the ID of my existing account and play along with the iTunes store.  As I recall, it asked for my password twice, and the security code from the back of my credit card.  After that, downloads proceeded as before.

  • 60G Ipod, new iTunes locks up my computer when syncing?

    What the heck???!!! i have a 60G photo ipod and after updating w/the new iTunes 7 software my computer immediatly freezes when syncing. I already tried reseting ipod, also restored ipod no use. I've got 20G of music i want to download to ipod and i can't?
    Can someone help please?
    Thanks!

    I also am having problems updating my 60GB ipod photo.
    With itunes 6 it would take 5-10 minutes to update.
    I waited until 7.0.1 was released thinking that the patch would have addressed the bugs in v7. However now my ipod takes 2.5 hours to update (even when no changes have been made). This performance can not be blamed on any other software as itunes is the only app that has been updated.
    Itunes uses 85% of my CPU for around 2 hours before any ipod activity occurs. So it may appear that it has hung but will eventually get there. The PC is unusable though during this time.
    I can't believe apple didn't detect these issues during testing.
    Does anyone know if apple are addressing/acknowledging this problem and when an update/workaround is likely to be released.
    Spending 2.5 hours every day to update my ipod is not acceptable.

  • HT201413 Why does iTunes not see my iPod when connected?

    My computer does not see my ipod when I connect it to it.  Nor does it come up in iTunes.  How can I sync my music with this problem going on?

    Try one or more of the following:
    > Restart your computer
    > Uninstall & Reinstall iTunes
    > Reset iDevice Settings (will not delete everything)
    > Go to My Computer (Windows XP) or Computer (Windows Vista & 7) and see if your iDevice shows (should show as a digital camera)
    > Restore iDevice completely (will delete everything)
    > Make sure both iTunes and iOS firmware is Up-To-Date

  • Why does iTunes and my whole computer freeze when syncing songs to phone?

  • Why does iTunes not give me the option to backup my iPhone?

    I have three iPhones in my family. On two of the iPhones, I am able to plug them into my computer and do a local backup (by selecting it in iTunes, right clicking and choosing "Back Up"). There is one phone, however, that does not allow me to choose this option. It takes me directly to the "Welcome to your new iPhone" page in iTunes, and asks me to restore it from a backup. I, however, do not have a backup on this computer, so I clearly do not want to wipe the phone and restore a backup.
    How do I remedie this? Is there another tool that will allow me to create a backup?
