    Thanks for the question. After reviewing your post, it sounds like iTunes wont launch. I would recommend that you read this article, it may be able to help you resolve or isolate the issue.

  • Itunes does not open when I plug in my ipod

    itunes does not open when I plug in my ipod mini!
    A window opens with the name of my ipod kiwi(E:) & a picture of a disk drive next to it.
    I have to manually open itunes. No error messages pops up, so I can't figure out what's preventing the system from recognizing my ipod. In the system tray in an icon safely remove hardware if I it click my ipod ejects. My ipod still charges as normal.
    Open itunes when this ipod is attached is checked off
    Enable disk use is checked off
    I ran a scan no malware

    So you connect the iPod containing a hard drive. I would guess you are using USB, right? Then Windows opens a window (wow, that's repetative) that identifies this as a USB hard drive.
    Am I close?
    It sounds like you've told the iPod to act in Disk Mode. On the same preferences pane that you are telling iTunes to open, uncheck the box for enable disk mode. the mini should stop telling your computer it is a hard drive.

  • ITunes does not react when I plug in my iPhone 4s?

    When I plug my iPhone 4s into my laptop using Windows 7, the phone itself vibrates but iTunes does not react. I have no idea how to add the device to it and have spent hours trying to resolve it. I have also followed an online 7 step and had no effect. Does anyone know what else I have to do?

  • ITunes does not open when iPhone connected.

    When I connect my iPhone to my iMac, iTunes does not open. The iTunes option to open iTunes when this iPhone is connected is checked.
    What is the name of the iTunes preference file that I can put in the trash to try to get this to work correctly?
    Thank you.

  • ITunes does not start when I connect iPad

    Until about a month ago, everything worked perfectly. When I connected my iPad to my MacBook Pro, iTunes started automatically and then started the sync with my iPad, just as I had set it to do. About a month ago, however, iTunes would not start automatically. I have to manually start iTunes. Once I do, then everything syncs normally, no problem. I have checked, and the check box in iTunes is checked "Open iTunes when this iPad is connected." I tried a general reset of the settings on my iPad. Nothing changed. iTunes says it is the most current version (I just checked) and my iPad says it has the latest available iOS version.
    Any suggestions? I can live with this like it is, but if there is a problem, I'd like to correct it before iOS 5 comes out.

    Thanks to all who replied. It turns out that, as you suggested, for some reason the iTunes Helper applet wasn't there. Did a reinstall, and now all works fine. So now I know that if I never have this problem again, that will be my first stop.
    As for the other suggested that were made, these are all great suggestions and these are steps I had already taken in troubleshooting the problem. I didn't mention that, so I am glad to have this documented if anyone one else does a search and is looking for an answer. By all means, be sure you do what the other folks said first, and if they don't work, then go for the iTunes Helper applet. That did it for me.

  • Itunes does not open when i plug my phone to pc win7

    when I first got my iphone 4s itunes worked fine until it was updated to newer version, now when i connect my phone to pc win7 it does not open automatically  i have to mannually  open itunes.

    Open your iTunes, connect the device.  Select your iPhone under "Devices' on iTunes left Pane.  On right Pane, under Summary tab, scroll down to make sure "Open iTunes when this iPhone is connected" box is checked and click the APPLY button on the lower right window.
    Next time, when you connect the iphone to your computer, iTunes will launch automatically.

  • Can't use updater; iTunes does not open when I plug in myiPod nano

    I am not a cdomputer wizard, so please don't get too technical with your answers. I just received an iPod nano 4GB and installed the software CD; I plugged the nano in using the USB cord but iTunes did not open.I tried doing the updater (9/05) but that would not run.I have uninstalled and reinstalled the software, reset the iPod,but still nothing. Alos if I unplug my iPod from the USB cord and plug it back in, NOTHING happens.I must reset it just to get the Apple icon to come on and then the batter charges and the "Do not disconnect" message comes on. I do see an ! with a folder beside it sometimes. Read the support page for this problem, but nothing helps. Of course, Aplle offers no phone support that I can find, so I am stuck with either a bad iPod, bad software, or both. I use norton internet securities with spy sweeper software, but have not had po0rblems with other software I have added. Please help me! I am at my wit's end.
    Thanks

    You can click "Contact Us" on any of the main pages to get the support number:
    http://www.apple.com/contact/
    What version of Windows are you running? And your description of the problem isn't terribly clear. You mentioned that plugging in the iPod does nothing, but then say it causes the "Do Not Disconnect" screen appear on the iPod?

  • Itunes does not launch when iphone is connected

    Lately when i connect my iPhone 4, iPhoto opens, but iTunes will not.  The last 5 times I have tried to sync, none of my music has copied over.  I have tried a full restore on the phone.  Mac OS 10.6.8; iOS 4.3.5

  • TS1363 iTunes does not start when I connect iTouch by USB.

    This is on Windows 7.  It did connect on Vista before upgrade.  Sync occurs if I start iTunes manually.  iTouch does appear in both iTunes and Windows Explorer.  How fix?

  • 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.

    I have reset my iphone and made sure all updates have been done on my macbook pro and iphone. It was after updating my macpro that I plugged in my phone and went to itunes to backup phone and can't see the device anywhere! I have also done all the troubleshooting that apple.com recommended too...all except re-installing itunes!
