ITunes does not start automatically when iPhone is connected

Have just upgraded to LION.  iTuneshelper in Login items is now not found and iTunes will not start automatically when an iPhone is connected via USB.

  • 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?

    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.

    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.

  • 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 doesn't start automatically when ipod is connected.

    Even though I have clicked on the place that says itunes will start automatically when iPod is connected to pc, it doesn't. I have to click on iTunes everytime, and then it takes a while to run.
    Anyone have any ideas what might be the problem?

    hi joyful!
    just checking. reboot the PC, and prior to launching itunes or plugging in the ipod, bring up your Task Manager to the "processes" tab.
    is there an iTunesHelper.exe running in your processes?
    Background processes installed with iTunes 6 for Windows

  • My iTunes does not start automatically

    Hi,
    When I connect my iTouch to my Dell laptop with Window Vista Home, the iTunes 8.0 program does not start up automatically. I tried removed, reinstalled, changed USP ports...but it still not works. I'm using USB 2.0, iPouch Touch 1G, firmware 2.1
    I would appreciate if you could help. Thanks

    Hi
    If you want your iTunes to start once you have plugged in your ipod, all you have to do is the following:
    ~ Plug in your iPod
    ~ Open iTunes
    ~ Go into your iPod setting via iTunes
    ~ On the main iPod screen will be a tick box saying something like "start itunes once ipod is plugged in"
    ~ Tick that box, then close itunes and take out the ipod
    ~ test itunes when you plug in the device
    Hopefully this will work
    Thanks

  • 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.

  • ITunes does not turn on when iPhone attached.

    I know I'll feel stupid after somebody gives me the answer to this. But, what the heck, if I don't ask I won't get. So here it goes: My iTunes does not turn on automatically when I attach my iPhone to my Mac. I have to open the application manually. Is there a setting to make it come on when I attache my iphone?

    Yes, there is a setting to make it happen. Connect your iPhone to your Mac, and click on it in the iTunes column so it shows the iPhone information. Click on Summary, got to the bottom of that page, under Options, and check the box that says "Automatically sync when this iPhone is connected".
    P.S. I know how you feel. I think I have posted about a dozen questions that I have ended up answering myself the next day when I wake up and think about the problem again.

  • TS1717 itunes will not start automatically when the phone is plugged in

    My iTunes will not start on my pc when I plug the phone in and the box to check is greyed out

    iTunes=10.6.1.7
    Windows 7 OS
    iphone 4S=5.1.1
    When I plug the device in it is recognized by the PC, and if I start iTunes is finds it and I can do all functions.
    It seems to me that I used to be able to auto-start iTunes when I first installed it, but now I am not sure if this problem is because I changed phones from a 3g to the 4s....
    I don't know enough about it to try anything......................

  • ITunes does not start up when plugging in iPhone?

    I wonder how to get iTunes start up automatically when I plug my iPhone in to my MacBook. Right now, when I plug in my iPhone the iPhoto starts up instead. This is strange because I thought that iTunes should be the one starting up. Anyone knows how to fix this.

    I found this thread trying to figure out the opposite: disable iTunes from starting up every time I plugged in my iPhone. The UI flow doesn't make it obvious either way.
    If auto sync is disabled globally in itunes/settings/devices, the sync option in the summary pane/advanced section is unchecked and grayed out.
    So by checking the global disable option, iTunes will always automatcially start up (by not sync) when I plug in my iPhone regardless.
    By unchecking to "enable" automatic syncing (double negative UI options FTL), that enables the summary pane/advanced section where you can now uncheck the automatic sync option for the device, which will then also keep iTunes from popping up.
    Confused?

  • ITunes does not open automatically when I connect my iPhone 4.

    Yes......I have checked off the necessary box on the "home page".
    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
