Hi billm1013,
I'm sorry to hear you are having these issues with your iPhone. If your iPhone isn't being recognized in iTunes, and/or iTunes isn't responding to your mouse when the iPhone is connected, you may find the troubleshooting steps outlined in the following article helpful:

  • 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.

  • 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 automatically when iPod is connected

    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 9.2.1 will not open automatically when iphone connected

    i have all the relevant boxes ticked, and have tried all the 'fixes' i.e unchecking autosync boxes and then re ticking them but with no success. i have even unistalled iTunes, and reinstalled it. I have to say when i reinstalled iTunes, when i connected my iphone (3GS Running Version 4.1) iTunes did open ok, but subsequently when i connect my phone, im back to my original situation????
    I have connected my daughters 2G iPhone running V3.13 and again this has no effect on iTunes.
    Strangely though i have connected my daughters iPod Nano and voila!!! iTunes opens automatically???
    Can anybody figure this one out please???

    Finally i have worked out why itunes didn't open when my iphone or ipod was connected. Ituneshelper.app (which is burried in the itunes app) was not running as a start up item.
    to fix this, if anybody else has this issue.......
    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.
    To confirm the change restart your mac, and connect your iphone!!! Ehhhh voila!!!!
    Hope this helps as ive been looking for a solution for ages.

  • How do I get iTunes to NOT CONNECT AUTOMATICALLY when I plug my iPhone into my computer?

    I just want to charge my iPhone.  Having iTunes load everytime I plug it in slows my computer until iTunes is fully loaded, which takes a while on my older computer.  For some reason, I am unable to find an answer to this simple question!
    I appreciate the help!
    eby1972

    Just so i understand.  It happens when i connect my Ipad or Iphone, which i want to stop.  I'm cool with it opening when I connect my camera tho.  Can i customize it that way (just to open for my camera, and NOT my i-devices) ?
    thx for the help

  • WiFi sync will not start automatically when plugging in charger

    SInce upgrading  my iPhone 4 and iPad 2 to IOS6 and downloading the latest version of iTunes, plugging the charger into the devices no longer triggers the WiFi sync. I can initiate the Wifi sync manually from either the device or iTunes.
    Is this related to all of the messages out there with users having Wifi greyed out?

    I am having the same problem. It only works once in a while. I had to turn on Airplane Mode and sync using the cable. I found that workaround in this thread:

  • Hi, My iPhone will not start up . I plugged it into my iMac and it cannot find it .

    Hi , My Iphone will not start up. when I plug it into my Imac , it cannot find my phone ?

    Suggestions:  1. make sure you have the lates version of iTunes; 2. try resetting your iPhone before syncing (
    Hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button together for at least ten seconds until the Apple logo appears;  when you see the Apple logo let go of both buttons and your iPhone will reboot); 3. try using a different cable.

  • ITunes no longer starting automatically with iPhone

    I have an iPhone 4S. Running iTunes 11.0.4.4 on Windows 7.
    iTunes used to start automatically when I plugged in my phone as it was set to do.
    have not changed the settings, and that box is still checked but now iTunes no longer starts automatically.
    When I manually start iTunes, it detects my phone as normal.
    When I first plug in the phone, the PC detects it and gives me the Windows dialog box asking what I want to do with the device.
    I've unchecked the box, saved that, and rechecked with no changes.

  • My iPhone will not turn on, when I plug it into my computer and load up iTunes its in recovery mode and the only option is to restore my device to factory settings. I have no back up of my phone I've also tried the home/sleep button thing but nothing

    My iPhone 4 will not turn on, when I plug it into my computer and load up iTunes its in recovery mode and the only option is to restore my device to factory settings, I have no back up of my phone I've also tried the home/sleep button thing but nothing, I have literally done every method I was told, I checked for water damage and that's fine. I don't want to restore my phone or buy a new one or pay for repairs because that's wasting money when it could be a simple way to fix it. And yes, I've also tried charging it and turning it in. I really need some help with my phone

    That does happen.  It depends on how hard the server is being hit, as well as the connection speed of your system.  If you are on a windows system, you will want to disable any antivirus or firewall software during the download.
