Itunes does not open automatically when I plug in iphone?

ITunes does not open automatically when I put my device via the USB cord into my computer.  Even though I checked that box in I tunes

1. open up applications, and right click the itunes icon.
2. select 'show package contents'
3. open the contents folder
4. open the resources folder
5. scroll down until you find the ItunesHelper icon.
6. Now open up your system preferences.
7. select accounts
8. select login items
9. now drag the ItunesHelper icon into the login items screen
10. This will now put the ituneshelper app into the startup items.

    iTunes DOES open when I connect my iPod.
    Any ideas?

    plug your phone into iTunes, check the box to prevent syncing, unplug the phone, plug it back in, then uncheck the box again, then disconnect and shut down iTunes, plug in your phone and it should automatically open

  • ITunes does not start automatically when I plug in my iPHONE.  When I start it manually it does not recognize my phone although the phone is visible in My Computer.

    Itunes does not start automatically when I plug in my iPhone.  When I start it manually, it never recognizes the phone although it does ask if I want to download pictures etc.  Many albums have no art work that use to.  iTunes completely unresponsive to the mouse.

    Hi billm1013,
    I'm sorry to hear you are having these issues with your iPhone. If your iPhone isn't being recognized in iTunes, and/or iTunes isn't responding to your mouse when the iPhone is connected, you may find the troubleshooting steps outlined in the following article helpful:

  • Suddenly iTunes does not open automatically when I connect Ipod

    Hi,
    iTunes used to open automatically when I connect my Ipod but now it does not although I did not change anything to my system.
    In place of iTunes I now have the Windows 7 choice dialog in which iTunes does not appear.
    How come?

    Open iTunes when this iPod is connected: has always been checked
    I thought you said there was no such option above?
    and nothing else
    Okay. Head to the Start menu and choose the *Control Panel* and when it comes up choose *Hardware and Sound* from the list of options. Next choose *Change default settings for media or devices*. Scroll down to the bottom where you will find an entry for Apple iPod. Go ahead and change its action to "Take no Action." Any luck there?
    I'm not quite sure why iTunes isn't opening upon connection, but we'll see where we can take this. I would start with removing iTunes and re-installing again using these instructions.

  • To to get new Photos to not open automatically when I plug in iphone/ipad

    Hi,
    Photos is probably better than iPhoto for personal images, BUT:
    I need to make the new Photos app not open automatically every time I plug in an iPhone or iPad or camera into the computer. 
    I take a lot of photos for work and I import those through the Image Capture App which allows me to import photos into a specific set folder - not my photos folder. 
    Also, related, how do I make iTunes not automatically open when I plug in the iphone/ipad.  I keep my music on one computer and not on my work computer, so it is annoying when I plug an iPhone or iPad into the work computer and it automatically opens iTunes. 
    Finally, what happened to the delete function on the Image Capture app?  It was so easy - import a bunch of photos into a certain folder, then delete those photos off the device through Image Capture. 
    Apple, by forcing us to use your consumer products, you are making it so inconvenient for pros who want more control over our process and file structure!

    In iPhoto>Preferences>General, set Image Capture as the default camera handler.

    In iTunes (with the device pugged in) Preferences, disable the 'Open iTunes when device is plugged in' option.

    We are just Apple users (like you), we did not do anything. (Including forcing you, nobody did that)
    Perhaps you would like to complain to Apple instead of us?  Send Feedback to Apple here.

  • How do I get iTunes to NOT CONNECT AUTOMATICALLY when I plug my iPhone into my computer?

    I just want to charge my iPhone.  Having iTunes load everytime I plug it in slows my computer until iTunes is fully loaded, which takes a while on my older computer.  For some reason, I am unable to find an answer to this simple question!
    I appreciate the help!

  • When I connect my iphone to my iMac, iTunes does not open automatically

    When I connect my iphone to my iMac, iTunes does not open automatically, even though I have the "open iTunes when this phone is connected" option checked. I'm on the latest Snow Leopard with iTunes 10.4 and use an iPhone 4 with iOS 4.3.4.  I think the problem began with the latest iTunes update.

    Found the answer in another discussion! Here's what worked:
    "I also had the same problem, iTunes 10.4 wouldn't launch when connecting iPhone 3GS.
    I unchecked "Launch iTunes when this iPhone is connected", restarted, launched iTunes and connected iPhone, rechecked "Launch iTunes when this iPhone is connected".  I was asked if I wanted to install iTunes helper and said yes.  All works again."

  • Itunes does not open. When I click on itunes it jumps ones and does not open in macbookpro

    itunes does not open. When I click on itunes it jumps ones and does not open in macbookpro.NEED AN ANSWER NOW!!!

    Hey sebasac,
    Thanks for the question. I understand you are experiencing issues with iTunes on a Mac. Let’s see if we can isolate this issue by starting iTunes in safe mode:
    iTunes: Troubleshooting issues with third-party iTunes plug-ins
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3430
    There are several ways in which an add-on can cause iTunes to act erratically, such as those listed below:
    - Loss of iTunes functionality, such as the Visualizer.
    - Distortion or irregularity in the iTunes interface.
    - Slow performance.
    - iTunes won't open or quits unexpectedly.
    - You see an alert while syncing stating "... cannot be synced. A duplicate file name was specified."
    If you notice any of the above symptoms or other unusual behavior, you can disable any plug-ins not manufactured by Apple by opening iTunes in Safe Mode. This is done by holding down the Option and Command keys (on Mac OS X) or holding down the Shift and Control keys (on Windows) while opening iTunes. If performed correctly, you should see the following dialog before iTunes finishes starting up:
    "iTunes is running in Safe Mode. Visual plug-ins you have installed have been temporarily disabled."
    If the above does not resolve your issue, I’d like to isolate further by testing in another user account:
    Isolating an issue by using another user account
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS4053
    Symptoms
    When isolating issues and/or troubleshooting software issues in OS X, you might want to use a different user account. Learn how to use this technique to narrow down the cause of an issue.
    Resolution
    The issue at hand may simply be caused by a bad preference setting or user-specific data file. With proper isolation, you can avoid time-consuming and inappropriate troubleshooting methods.
    Thanks,
    Matt M.

  • ITunes does not start automatically when iPod is connected

    iTunes used to start automatically when I connected iTunes. It no longer does. Can I fix that?
    Dave

    Connect your iPod and open iTunes. Towards the bottom of the iPod screen, there are four check boxes. The top one says "Open iTunes when iPod is connected." Check that box and click apply. If it is checked, uncheck it and click apply, eject and reconnect your iPod, then recheck it and click apply.
