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
love, b

    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.

  • 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.

    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 doesn't launch automatically when iPhone is connected

    This used to work fine...I'd attached my iPhone 3GS to my MacBook via USB, iTunes would automatically launch and begin synching my iPhone. Then (I'm not exactly sure what happened...perhaps it was an update, or a spate of time when I was travelling and using a spotty wireless connection, I'm not sure), but for several weeks now, iTunes no longer autolaunches and synchs when I connect the iPhone.
    I did some tests:
    iTunes does autolaunch when I connect my iPod Classic.
    I can open iTunes manually, and iTunes sees my iPhone and syncs it automatically.
    When I connect my iPhone, iPhoto does come up automatically if I have photos to sync.
    The iPhone makes it's happy little connection sound when attached to the laptop via USB and still charges.
    Under iTunes Preferences, Devices, I still have "Prevent iPods, iPhones and iPads from synching automatically" unchecked.
    So the only thing I can see that is not working here is autolaunch of iTunes via iPhone.
    I have iTunes 10.4(80)
    iPhone 4.3.5
    Mac OS 10.6.8
    Any ideas?

    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.

  • How to "Open iTunes automatically when iPod is connected"....

    ...without having them sync automatically?  I'm able to do this on my MBP just fine.  The solution on my MBP is to uncheck "prevent ipods, ipads, iphones from syncing automatically" under Devices Preferences.  Then I'm able to check "Open iTunes when Ipod is connected" under my iPod's Summary Options.  After that i can then go back a uncheck "prevents Ip.... from syncing automatically". 
    Unfortunately, this option doesn't seem to be available to Windows users.  or is it?
    Thanks,
    Mike

    this will solve half of my issue while coincidentally causing the other half of it. 
    I want to be able to:
    Open iTunes automatically when iPod is connected
    AND
    Prevent my ipod from syncing automatically *(when this is enabled the prior feature becomes disabled)

    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.

    You need to re install OSX. If you have the dmg file downloaded via torrentz this is how you can create a bootable external HD or Flash drive (8 GB+)

  • 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.

    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.

  • ITunes doesn't detect that my iPod is connected

    I plugged my iPod touch in today so I could sync it, and the USB found sound was played, followed by a USB error sound. iTunes did not recognise that my iPod was connected and would not sync it.
    I looked in Device Manager and there was an exclamation mark over Apple iPod, and the following message was displayed:
    "Windows cannot start this hardware device because its configuration information (in the registry) is incomplete or damaged. (Code 19)"
    I don't know why this is happening, as I successfully synced my iPod yesterday with no issues.
    Can anyone help?
    Thanks

    I am having this same problem. I have been able to sync before, but now when I attach my ipod, itunes does not recognize it. The PC thinks it's another drive letter, and itunes never shows it in the list on the left.
    Any ideas how to correct this?

  • ITune won't launch automatically when iPod attached

    I'm giving my brother my old Mac iPod and just reformatted it so he can start using it on his PC. Everything is working fine except that iTunes will not automatically launch when the iPod is attached. All the settings are correct and all software is installed properly. I have enabled disk use and can see that the iPod is recognized immediately because it mounts as an external drive but I wait and wait and wait and iTunes does not launch. When I launch iTunes manually, the iPod shows up in the source column within seconds. I only have Macs at home and a Sony Vaio laptop PC that I use for AutoCAD so I can only confirm this as a problem on my PC. I have MediaFour's MacDrive 6 installed and wondering if that is somehow conflicting. Any ideas on a fix for this?

    My HP media center pc at home is doing exactly the same thing. My Dell at work will launch itunes automatically. My HP at home launched itunes the very first time I connected my ipod, but not since. I reloaded the software and again, itunes launched the first time, but not since. I wonder if this is a HP issue, or maybe a firewall issue (I use Zone Alarm)?
    Have you found a solution to this issue since you first posted?
