Itunes doesn't open automatically when my iphone is connected anymore

I have an iphone 4s and it used to open iphoto and itunes automatically when i plugged it in with a usb cord. now it doesn't do either. i got iphoto to open, but am still having issues with itunes. i have tried all the obvious: checking and unchecking the preferences and summary settings that indicate to automatically sync and open when connected. nothing is working. any suggestions

In iTunes click on your phone under "Devices" on the left of the screen > "Summary" tab > Options: "Open iTunes when this iPhone is connected".

    Hey Alexander,
    Has iTunes Helper been removed from the login items? Go to System Preferences> Accounts> Login Items.
    You can add it again manually as described here: http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1610692
    you can also get it back by downloading and reinstalling the latest version of iTunes.

    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

  • 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.

  • ITunes doesn´t open automatically

    Hi!!!
    iTunes doen´t open automatically when i connect my iphone, the click is where it suppose to be (open while connecting) but nothing happens
    Thanks!

    This happened to me and what I found out from an Apple Store employee is that you should (make sure you have the "automatically sync" box checked in iTunes) then -
    1). Open your system preferences.
    2). Click on accounts
    3). Select your account and click on login items - if you don't have "iTunesHelper" in the list you need to put it in there.
    4). Go into your Application folder and scroll down to iTunes.
    5). Do a control click on the iTunes icon and select "show package contents".
    6). Double click the "contents" folder, then double click the "resources" folder.
    7). Scroll down to the "iTunesHelper" and drag it and drop it into the login in window (what you looked at in number 3 above) and quit System Preferences.
    8). Plug in your iphone.

  • ITunes doesn't lauch automaticly when iPod connected

    Hi,
    iTunes doesn't launch automaticly when my I connect iPod touch 2nd gen.
    Sincerely.

    Here's what I did when iTunes started to not open automatically when I connect my iPod touch to the Universal Dock. With the iPod connected, I unchecked "Open iTunes automatically" and "Apply", then I checked "Open iTunes automatically" again. iTunes asked me if I wanted to install "iTunesHelper.app" and I clicked "Yes". No problems with any of my iPods since.
    Make sure iTunesHelper.app is active on launch in System Preferences > Accounts.

  • HT1209 I've successfully imported the videos I've shot with my iphone5 into iphoto on my MacBookPro but they're only showing up as still shots, ie the imported videos don't play! Itunes no longer opens automatically when syncing!

    I've successfully imported the videos I've shot with my iphone5 into iphoto on my MacBookPro but they're only showing up as still shots, ie the imported videos don't play! Itunes no longer opens automatically when syncing, and when I open itunes it shows that there are zero "home movies" in there, meaning that it never grabbed the videos from my phone either. What to do? Thanks!

    tl:dr?
    Really?
    There was a short version expressly for people who weren't bothered to read a myriad of text.
    Meh, not that it matters anymore. I ended up redownloading 70-odd albums, so I have the bulk of my music back. And I still have no idea what iTunes did with my files, but I'll make sure it never does it again.
    I would thank you for the help but you were utterly useless. Oh well, carry on.

  • 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 11.1.5 doesn't open automatically when iPhone 5 connected

    I have tried checking and unchecking "open iTunes when iPhone is connected" and that hasn't helped.

    I’ve found another solution for those where this doesn’t resolve it.
    From user Crosbie at MacForums.com
    You can extract iTunes Helper from the iTunes package, if you like, to replace the absent one.
    It can be found by right-clicking the iTunes app and choosing 'Show Package Contents'; then navigate down to the 'MacOS' folder. You can then drag it to your open 'login items' window.

    This solved the issue for me, where unchecking and re-checking didn’t.

  • Itunes won't open automatically when I plug iphone in

    I have recently had a lot of trouble syncing calendars with my iphone.  I have done all sorts of restarts etc.  One problem throughout (recent) is that when I plug my ipne in, itunes won't start up automatically and sync.  I cannot tick the box on itunes saying "open itunes when this phone is connected" as it is pale grey and won't let me.  Anyone any other ideas?  Everything is updated.
    I am on a mac and running Mac OS  X version 10.6.7
    itunes version 10.2.2 (12)

    Thanks!
    The likeliest possibility I can think of based on your symptoms is damaged Apple Application Support program files. (Much like iTunes versions 9.0.x, iTunesHelper requires a properly functioning Apple Application Support in order to work correctly.)
    *Assuming that you don't have a Safari for Windows version 4.0.5 installed on that system,* I'd try the following technique with a 32-bit Vista:
    http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2256037
    *If you have a Safari 4.0.5 installed on the system* we'll need to try something different. (We need to make sure that you have an Apple Application Support 1.2.0 on the PC in order for Safari 4.0.5 to work ... at the present point in time, the procedure I outline above will only put an Apple Application Support version 1.1.0 back on your PC.)
