Not automatically opening iTunes when connected

I used to connect my iTouch to my computer and iTunes would automatically open, now it doesn't. The only preference I see that would do it is when I connect the iTouch and manually open iTunes then I see my iTouch under Devices and I click Summary and under options I check "open iTunes when this iPod is connected" yet it doesn't open when I connect. Any ideas? Version 4.3.5 30 GB - iTunes version 10.4.1

Found the answer. It's a slight variation on a post from a few years ago on the same problem. Go to the iTunes application - right click - go to show package content - then contents and instead of going down to resourses go to MacOS folder and then go to iTunesHelper and drag it over to the login items in the accounts area in your system preferences. It worked for me so far.

  • How do I set up my iPhone 4s to sync automatically to iTunes when connected to my iMac via USB?

        How do I set up my iPhone 4s to sync automatically to iTunes when connected to my iMac via USB?  Currently it only syncs when I manually click on sync.
        Somehow I do have my 5th gen. iPod set up to sync automatically with the same iTunes / computer.  But I do not actually see a checkbox for either device.
        (yes, the 'prevent devices from automatically syncing' is unchecked)
    thank you!

  • IPhone not automatically opening iTunes

    So everything on my iPhone seems to be working fine but when I plug it into the dock, it starts charging fine but doesnt open iTunes to sync. I have to manually open iTunes and then it will start syncing. Anyone know why this is happening...err not happening?
    This is my second iPhone after I replaced my first one, and the first one always seemed to open itunes when connected.

    I see in your signature that you're running OSX.4.7. If that is correct, you need to upgrade to X.4.10 as it is listed in the requirements for using the iPhone on a Mac. My wife's computer was doing the same thing when she was running X.4.2 ( i think). iPhoto would pop up but no iTunes, and manually opening iTunes would not show the iPhone on the source list. Anyways, upgrading solved the issue. Hope this helps.

  • I want to use my IPOD Classic 160gb for notepad entries in addition to the music and books I listen to. It is set to "Open ITunes when connected to computer" and "manually manage music and videos". How can I do that without losing some of the features

    I want to use my IPOD Classic 160gb for notepad entries in addition to the music and books I listen to. It is set to "Open ITunes when connected to computer" and "manually manage music and videos".  How can I do that without losing some of the features of those two?   I just want to add a feature.  Thanks

    Settings>Store (or iTunes & App Stores if you are running iOS6)>Apple ID. Tap your son's ID and sign out. Sign in with your ID and password.
    You shouldn't lose the music, but if you try to update any apps that you bought with the family ID, you will have to use that password that is linked with that ID in order to update.
    Avoid downloading past purchased content with the old ID if you can since you will associate the iPad with the old ID for 90 days and you will lock yourself out of your own, new ID for that period of time. Read more about associated devices in iTunes here.

    Triple-click anywhere in the line below on this page to select it:
    ~/Library/Application Support/SyncServices
    Right-click or control-click the line and select
    Services ▹ Reveal in Finder (or just Reveal)
    from the contextual menu.* A folder should open with an item selected. Quit the application if it's running. Move the selected item to the Trash. Relaunch the application and test.
    *If you don't see the contextual menu item, copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination  command-C. In the Finder, select

    from the menu bar and paste into the box that opens by pressing command-V. You won't see what you pasted because a line break is included. Press return.

  • Connecting iPod does not automatically open iTunes...

    Sorry if this is a repost, but I tried a search and I couldn't find anything.
    I want iTunes to launch when I connect my iPod but it doesn't. I have to manually open iTunes myself. And yes, I have the "Open iTunes when this iPod is attahced" option checked in the iPod Preferences window.
    Any suggestions?

    Your control pannel and then Windows Security. It may also be blocked by Spyware, check that too (also from the control panel). Actually the more I think about it, the more likely it is to be Spyware.

  • Automatically starting iTunes when connecting iPhone

    I have tried searching the community board but I haven't fouind an answer that fits my problem.
    I am running Win 7, iTunes 11.03.42 with a iPhone 4S.
    When I open iTunes, Preferences, there is no option to check that says open iTunes on connection.  I remember that from older versions of iTunes.
    What do I do to make iTunes start upon connection of my iPhone?
    Thanks, everyone

    Howdy Westslope,
    Here is an article outlining a preference that would prevent iTunes from opening automatically.
    iTunes 10 for Windows: Prevent unprompted syncing of your iPod, iPhone, or iPad
    http://support.apple.com/kb/PH1677
    To prevent unprompted syncing for a specific iPod, iPhone, or iPad:
    Connect your iPod, iPhone, or iPad to your computer.
    In iTunes, select your device (below Devices).
    Click Summary, and then deselect “Open iTunes when this Device is connected.”
    To prevent unprompted syncing for all iPod, iPhone, and iPad devices:
    In iTunes, choose Edit > Preferences.
    Click Devices.
    Select “Prevent iPods, iPhones, and iPads from syncing automatically.”If this checkbox is selected, any connected iPod, iPhone, or iPad won’t sync without being prompted.
    To sync your iPod, iPhone, or iPad when unprompted syncing is disabled, connect your iPod, iPhone, or iPad to your computer, and then choose File > Sync “Device Name” in iTunes, or click your device (below Devices) and then click Sync.
    In the second part of that snippet
    "Select “Prevent iPods, iPhones, and iPads from syncing automatically.”If this checkbox is selected, any connected iPod, iPhone, or iPad won’t sync without being prompted."
    It will also prevent iTunes from opening automatically.
    Cheers,
    Sterling

  • Nano 3rd will not unlock and is not visible in iTunes when connected to computer.

    My 3rd Gen Nano is stuck in locked position with the screen lit.  Additionally it does not show up on the computer or in iTunes when connected.  I can't restart or repair myself.  I suspect the locked switch may be broken.  Any ideas?

    First of all, try another port on your computer. Some ports are not connected direct to the motherboard and do not recognize the iPod as well as those that are.
    Still no joy? See these.

  • IPhone does not appear in iTunes when connected

    After installing new iTunes update, my phone is no longer recognized when I attempt to sync and has been running very very low lately.  HELP PLEASE!

    Thanks to recmd for directing me to the solution for iTunes not "seeing" my iPhone!!
    https://discussions.apple.com/message/11761418?messageID=11761418 is the link, but I will recap it here:
    Win XP machines that are seeing the iPhone as a camera or portable drive, but not showing in iTunes should do this - takes 5 minutes!!
    Connect iPhone
    Open Control Panel
    double click on System
    choose Hardware tab
    click Device Manager
    find iPhone - probably under Imaging Devices
    right click iPhone
    choose Properties
    click driver tab
    choose Update Driver
    select "Install from list or specific location" and click Next
    choose "Don't search, I will choose the driver to install" and click next
    there should be 2 drivers listed; highlight Apple Mobile Device driver
    click ok
    iPhone should now connect
    close out of Device Manager and Control Panel
    open iTunes and see your iPhone appear!!
    You may have to do this with all phones that you sync.
    Hope this helps - it worked for the phones in our family!

  • Iphone does not appear in itunes when connected to XP computer

    I have the latest version of itunes and iphone software. When I connect my iphone 3GS through a USB to my computer (windows XP), the computer recognises the device as a hard drive in "my computer" and I can import photos. However Itunes when opened up no longer recognises the phone and so I cannot sync or set parameters etc. This has happened with my childrens ipods as well on a different XP computer. I have used several usb leads but same problem. Any ideas? Many thanks.  Mark
