Automatically sync when iPad is connected

is it possible to automatically sync when iPad is connected? I don't get the choise of marking a checkbox like the one I get on my iPhones summary-tab.
What I'm using:
iPhone 5 iOS 7 GM
iPad 3 iOS 7 GM
iTunes 1.1b48
iPhone
iPad

I'm puzzled. In itunes, when my iPhone is connected to my Mac and the iPhone selected in the left hand pane, after then clicking on the Summary tab at the top of my screen, in the Options section below there is a check box I can select to "Automatically sync when this iPhone is connected". However, when I follow the same procedure with my iPad there is no checkbox to "Automatically sync when this iPhone is connected". It's just not there. Instead I see "Open iTunes when this iPad is selected".
If there is a setting in the Summary Tab to automatically sync an iDevice - I have never seen it. Yes there is a preference in iTunes to allow the devices to auto sync - but the setting in iTunes is for iTunes to open automatically when the device is connected. That setting is greyed out if you turn off auto sync in the iTunes preferences. There is also a setting to sync over WiFi and you have to enable that if you want to sync over WiFi - but not automatically sync over WiFi.
There is no setting on the iPad itself for auto syncing. There is a statement at the top of the iTunes WiFi sync setting that states the device will auto sync when plugged in, etc. - but no button to turn on Auto Sync on the iPad.
The iTunes Helper login item is if you cannot get iTunes to auto launch when your devices are connected. It should be enabled in that setting - iTunes Helper should be checked.

  • ITunes does not automatically sync when iPhone is connected

    I upgraded to an iPhone 3g and I am unable to select the "Automatically sync when this iPhone is connected" option. It is greyed out in the iPhone Summary Tab in iTunes. I would like to automatically sync when I connect the iphone to my mac. How can I get this option available to me?

    At the iTunes menu bar, go to iTunes > Preferences.
    Under the Devices tab, is "Disable automatic syncing for iPhones and iPods" selected?

  • How can I stop iPhoto from automatically launching when iPads are connected to my MacBook Pro?

    We currently have 20 iPads (2 different models) and we are using Configurator. Everytime we connect our ipads (via two usbs from our sync and charge trolley) iPhoto launches. Why does this happen and how do I stop it?

    never mind - all fixed!

  • 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.

  • Automatically sync when this iPhone is connected, is 'Grayed Out'?

    Itune 11.0..2. / iPhone 5 / Backups > iCloud / Options > 'Grayed out', (not available?) "Automatically sync when this iPhone is connected". Why is this grayed out?

    This one was odd:  it stopped after the first sync was finally completed--had to interrupt several times to use the phone away from the computer before all the music and photos were fully reloaded.  Now it waits appropriately for next sync.  This is probably why no one else had seen this or replied.

  • "automatically sync when this iphone is connected" disabled

    The "automatically sync when this iphone is connected" checkbox in iTunes 12 is disabled, i.e., greyed out. How to enable this?

    If your device is set up for manually syncing then doesn't it make sense for automatic syncing to be disabled? Either way you are safer if you have to initiate a sync by pressing the sync button.

  • My Iphone 4s automatically synced when I started ITunes. When it did this it saved all of my pictures on my computer to my phone. How do I reverse this and take the pictures back off of my iPhone?

    My Iphone 4s automatically synced when I started ITunes. When it did this it saved all of my pictures on my computer to my phone. How do I reverse this and take the pictures back off of my iPhone?

    Yeah, my iPhone 4S sometimes manages to connect to wifi for about 10 minutes now. I think there is a problem related with the antenna because when the phone heats up, the WIFI stops working. I had a similar experience with my older iPhone 4S which I bought from the U.S.A. (unlocked version) but after a couple of days, WIFI icon grayed out and I wasn't able to switch it on and off. Now the phone I'm using was bought in Turkey from a local carrier, (it's not locked I suppose) I'm planning on upgrading to an iPhone 6 and I will try to get my 4S repaired. I hope it is something related with software rather than hardware. Because a friend of mine sent his phone to the local Apple store to be fixed, they sent the phone back claiming that they had repaired it. But in about 2 days, the phone shut itself down and never turned off back again lol. I don't want to experience the same thing. But anyway, thanks for your answer. At least now I know that I'm not the only one that has this problem .

  • How to prevent iTunes from launching when iPad is connected?

    I don't want iTunes 11.0.1 to launch every time I connect my iPad (3rd generation, running iOS 6.0.1) to my Mini. I want to decide if I want iTunes, and then, if I do, launch it manually. How may this be accomplished?
    Notes:
    1.  iTunes .. Preferences .. Devices ==> "Prevent ... from syncing automatically" is UNchecked.
    2.  (in iTunes while connected) iPad .. Summary .. Options ==> "Open iTunes when this iPad is connected" is UNchecked.
    3.  When iTunes auto-launches, it does NOT sync. It "mounts" the iPad and then sits idle.
    TIA for any ideas,
    Mark

    Found the answer via Bing:

    With the iPad connected and (at least in my case) iTunes NOT running, start the program "Image Capture" (mine is version 6.1). In the lower left will be a label "Connecting this iPad opens:" and below that label is a drop-down box which, in my case, was set to iTunes (don't ask me how), and I have since changed to "No application".
    Gee, that was obvious.

  • AFter updating to iTunes 11, my first generation Apple TV no longer automatically syncs when I open iTtunes nor does it display its playlists in iTunes.

    AFter updating to iTunes 11 my first generation Apple TV wasn't displayed any longer in iTunes. I had to relink it and after that it no longer automatically sysnc when I open iTunes, nor does it display its play lists. It still has its photos and play lists and it is linked up for streaming but does not sync as it used to do. Is it possible iTunes 11 doesn't support first generation Apple TV the same way it used to.?

    Yes, the first generation model still works with iTunes 11. It sounds as though you have set it up as a streaming only library.
    Navigate to Settings > Computers > Your Library on the Apple TV, you may be told you will lose all synced content, but you can sync it back afterwards, you won't lose any purchased content that has yet to be transferred. Then select Settings > Computers > Connect To iTunes, note the passcode that appears on screen, click on the device in iTunes and enter the passcode when prompted.

    Thanks for the question! I was able to find a document that goes over the same issue you're encountering, iTunes not opening automatically when connecting your device. Check it out here and see if that resolves it:

  • Disable iTunes from automatically opening when iPhone is connected

    Hi, I use a windows xp comp with itunes for windows at work and whenever I just want to charge my iphone, itunes always automatically opens. I've disabled automatic syncing in edit>pref but the iPhone summary screen doesn't allow disabling "automatically open itunes when this iphone is detected" like itunes for my macbook at home has. Any help would be greatly appreciated as it's such a pain to have itunes open and load everytime i'm just charging my iphone at work.

    Try this:
    Start -> Control Panel -> Administrative Tools -> Services
    Look for "Apple Mobile Device", right-click and "stop", then right-click "properties". Under "Startup type" choose "Disabled".
    Do the reverse if you want it to work again.

  • Itunes wont automatically open when ipod is connected

    Hello there
    basically the above ^^ itunes wont open automatically when ipod is connected ive tried the 5 steps and ive also tried the whole tray and exit thing its not WORKING!
    all help much apprciated thanks

    I have a interesting hunch that somehow Windows is doing something to you...
    One thing you might want to see is if within Windows if the iPod service is running... As there are certain services which automatically get installed when itunes is loaded. These notice the device and loads the app..
    Just for reference, here are my Windows Services and their status:
    Apple Mobile Device - Started & Automatic
    Bonjour - Started & Automatic
    iPod Service - Started & Manual
    I thought that a 4th service existed, but can't find it...
    Have you tried uninstalling iTunes and downloading to reinstall it again, that might help.. Or else it has something deeper do to with your computer itself!
    That's about all I can offer right now.

  • Dictation Feature when iPad is connected to a keyboard?

    I've got the Apple keyboard/docking station for my iPad3.  Is there a function to be able to dictate when its still connected to the keyboard?

    This issue manifests as The volume control shows  sound effects on screen  or phantom docking no volume slide control.
    For the beginners, the issue is often the side switch is set to mute on off and not screen rotation lock. The switch is off. (see settings)
    Other issues around software and airport use can be resolved by hard reset, or reset options inside the settings. I use AIRPORT all the time.
    You may have even tried the re-installing the firmware/ios
    So when all has failed to work, the you may have dock connector PIN 21 problem.
    I had an issue that started with the ipad whe it was on USB cable to PC.
    No drop, no sudden cable movements. Just gone....
    No volume slider.   IPAD behaves as if it was docked when not.
    Slight movement when usb cable is in occasionally brings the volume control back but only for a few seconds then it disappears.
    Mine is going back for repair/replacement.
    cheers Phil

  • HT201412 when ipad is connected to power over night and battery is still at 5%?

    Why did i charge my ipad over night and yet the battery strentgh remained only 5% when i opened it on my laptop?

    Could be the charger, cable or iPad. Plug the USB cable into your computer. It may say "Not Charging", however, it is charging slowly and will verify that the cable is good.
    Try this first - Reset the iPad by holding down on the Sleep and Home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons. (This is equivalent to rebooting your computer.)
    The quickest way (and really the only way) to charge your iPad is with the included 10W or 12W (5W on Mini) USB Power Adapter. iPad will also charge, although more slowly, when attached to a computer with a high-power USB port (many recent Mac computers) or with an iPhone Power Adapter (5W). When attached to a computer via a standard USB port (2.5W, most PCs or older Mac computers) iPad will charge very slowly (but iPad indicates not charging). Make sure your computer is on while charging iPad via USB. If iPad is connected to a computer that’s turned off or is in sleep or standby mode, the iPad battery will continue to drain.
    Apple recommends that once a month you let the iPad fully discharge & then recharge to 100%.
    How to Calibrate Your Mac, iPhone, or iPad Battery

    At this link http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/galaxy-tab-android-tablet,3014-11.html , tests show that the iPad 2 battery (25 watt-hours) will charge to 90% in 3 hours 1 minute. It will charge to 100% in 4 hours 2 minutes. The new iPad has a larger capacity battery (42 watt-hours), so using the 10W charger will obviously take longer. If you are using your iPad while charging, it will take even longer. It's best to turn your new iPad OFF and charge over night.
