Itunes not opening when connected

Although I have the "open iTunes when this phone is connected" option checked on my 3GS - it is not happening. Any suggestions ?

I misunderstood your first post, I thought you had an "iTunes is getting confused" problem, but now I think it is a "Windows recognises the iPod but not Itunes" problem. There is help on that here:
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=61711
But you haven't given a very complete description of your problem. You say iTunes doesn't open when you plug in your iPod. Is that a new problem and it worked before? If so has has anything changed since it started.
If you start iTunes yourself and then plug in your iPod, does iTunes recognise it and if so what are your settings in iPod options?
On the background processes, all you can do is check that they are running, you didn't say if they were.

  • ITunes not opening when device connected

    About a week ago, iTunes stopped opening when I connected my iPhone.  If I then open iTunes manually, the device will be recognized and will sync.  I checked in the system preferences and my Login Items had iTuneshelper checked, but the icon was a blank piece of paper and on the righ margin there was a yellow triangle with an exclamation point in it.
    I don't necessarily want iTunes to open when I connect my iPhone, but I would like to be in control of if it does or doesn't.
    How do I set this straight?

    Select the iPhone under Devices left side of the iTunes window.
    Select the Summmary tab from the menu.
    Select or deselect:  Open iTunes when this iPhone is connected
    And from the iTunes menu bar click iTunes / Preferences then select the Devices tab.
    You can select to have the iPhone sync automatically (or not) there.
    Or, right or control click the iPhone under Devices then make a selection.

  • Itunes wont open when connected to iphone.  why?

    my itunes will not open when iphone is connected.... j why?

    I also have a new MB Pro running OS X 10.9.5 and a new iPhone 6.  My iPhone connects to iTunes, but hangs at step 6 in the sync process -- copying apps to the iPhone.  I let it run all night last night and it never got beyond the second app.  This morning I upgraded to iOS 8.0.2 and have the same problem.  Now I am stuck at the third app.

  • ITune not appear when connect with iphone

    iTune not appear when iphone connect with my computer (window 7)

    Hello BrightGoh,
    Generally for a new and unrelated question you should start a new thread.
    Safari on the iPhone doesn't have the ability to download and save .exe files. The iPhone does not have the ability to store files as a storage disk.
    http://manuals.info.apple.com/enUS/iPhone_UserGuide.pdf
    If you check the Safari section of the manual starting on page 52, you will notice that there is no mention of being able to save such files.

  • Itunes not opening when i plug ipod in

    When I plug in my 4G iPod touch, my MacBook (OS X 10.6.8) charges the iPod but iTunes will not open.  The iPod does not even show up in iTunes.  I have the latest version of iTunes.  I've tried using a different USB port, a different iPod cord, deleting iTunes and reinstalling iTunes, tried rebooting Mac and iPod, tried resetting iPod.  I really don't want to erase what is on my iPod because if iTunes still doesn't recognize it, I will lose everything.  Any ideas?

    See:
    iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows
    I would start with
    Removing and reinstalling iTunes and other software components for Windows Vista, Windows 7, or Windows 8
    or
    Removing and Reinstalling iTunes, QuickTime, and other software components for Windows XP
    Run this to help if it identifies the cause

  • ITunes not opening when iPhone connected

    Hi
    My iTunes used to open and start syncing immediately I connected my iPhone - now it does not.
    I've made sure the 'open iTunes when this iPhone is connected' box is ticked, switched off the iPhone and restarted it, restarted my MacBook, reset the sync history, deleted podcasts, restored the iPhone - nothing works.
    Is this an iPhone OS 4.1 issue?
    I'm running an 3GS iPhone with 4.1, iTunes vers. 10, on a MacBook OS X 10.5.8

    I'm having the same issue. There is an "iphone assistant" walk-through page I've gone through but the steps ave not seemed to work for me. I deleted and reinstalled the latest iTunes, but when I plug in... nothing. The most I get is when my iphone is off and I plug in to my mac, it will turn on. No charge.

  • ITunes not opening when iPod is connected, and won't restore properly? Corrupted?

    I have a 120GB iPod Classic. Has not been jail broken.
    The problem:
    The other day I connected my iPod to my laptop, but iTunes wouldn't open with it- it always opens iTunes. After finally opening iTunes and reconnecting the iPod to my laptop, it took 5-10 minutes for iTunes to realise that the iPod was in fact, connected. It then said it appeared to be corrupted and that I had to restore it. So I did. Numerous times. Each time I try to connect my iPod it takes quite a while for it to register with iTunes, but it always says it needs restoring- when I already did just before it connected again.
    When the iPod isn't connected to the laptop it says there are "0 songs", "0 playlists" etc. But in settings it says that there is 111GB left. So all my content is still on there, it just isn't showing up.
    This has happened previously, but I managed to fix it and my content appeared again. When I fixed it before, I was able to get into it via My Computer> etc, but now when I try to open it in windows explorer it says something along the lines of "Please insert storage device into Drive G". After this, it comes up with a window saying "You need to format Drive G: before you can use it. Do you want to format it?"
    I can't even delete the folders manually in windows explorer because it's saying it needs to be formatted.
    When iTunes finally decides to display the iPod, all it says in the side panel is "iPod" with the 'eject' button next to it. No "Music", "Movies" etc. The screen that comes up says my iPod is corrupted so I need to restore it.
    I can't do anything with it. I've also tried to see what I can try to fix with it in disk mode, but that doesn't seem to do anything.
    Is there any way to solve this problem? I've looked in forums online, but nothing seems to be working or able to do. I've scanned my iPod for any viruses (with Kaspersky Internet Security), and apparently it's clean. I will also be scanning my laptop for anything.
    I've had the Classic for three years now. I have the latest iTunes, and I run Vista.

    after letting it sit for awhile my itunes finally decided to work, but it's running very slow, especially when i try to put any music from my library onto my ipod.

  • ITunes not Opening when iPhone is connected

    My iPhone is synced to my home computer (Mac), but I often use my work computer (PS) to charge while at work. Before I was doing this, I had no issues with iTunes and my personal computer, but now when I connect my phone to my personal computer iTunes won't open on its own. I've read on another post that I needed to reinstall iTunes. I reinstalled iTunes, plugged in my phone and it iTunes opened. Problem solved! Two days later problem is back. I know that it can be fixed again by reinstalling iTunes, but I don't want to do this each time. Any help/ideas?

    In iTunes > Preferences > Advanced > click Reset warnings and Reset cache buttons.

  • Itunes will not open when connecting iPhone

    Does any one have a clue how to fix this issue? I have two iPhones (my wife's and mine). I don't have that problem with her's. Thanks in advance.

    That support document was for if the iPhone was not recognized by iTunes. You say now that it is, and that is why you do not see a solution.
    I'm not sure about the setting for opening iTunes, because I have automatic syncing turned off. That can be especially important if you are having issues with the phone. An automatic sync can delete things when syncing with an empty calendar, or contacts list. I've always opened my iTunes manually, but you can also uninstall iTunes and reinstall it. If you are using Windows, you need to do this by following this support document exactly. http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1923

  • ITunes does not open when ipod connected

    Since installing the 1.1 update, iTunes does not open when I connect my nano to the computer. Both computer and iTunes (when I manually open it) recognize the nano, so no big deal. Just wondering how to make iTunes automatically open.

    Sometimes the Preferences get corrupt - if you set them off and then back on that sometimes clears the problem.
    Regards,
    Colin R.
