Can't sync iTunes! device not being displayed when I connect to computer.

I have been syncing my iphone just fine, now suddenly I plug into my computer and my Device only shows up in iphoto that pops up on screen. Usually iTunes appears as well with my "Device" on the left and the phone would sync automatically. Now iTunes doesn't even pop up. Has some setting on my computer changed not allowing it.  Basically I can not manage my phone with my computer anymore. My wife iphone is doing the same thing.

    Did you update your operating system?  If so, did it solve the problem?  I have not updated my OS because so many people complained that the newer Os's had problems.

  • My ipod is not being recognised when i connect it to my computer and itunes crashes everytime i connect my ipod. Suggestions please?

    I'm having problems with my ipod. Everytime I connect it to my computer, itunes crashes and it says that the device is not recognised. Any suggestions pleeease?

    HI, if anyone can help, I appreciate it, I tried to
    return it but lost the receipt and I bought it a week
    ago so that kinda stings. Ok my PC froze today like
    it did a million times before and I had to restore
    it, after I restored it I tried to hooki up my ipod
    and it said usb device not reconized. When I clicked
    on that it said device is not reconized by windows. I
    tried different usb ports and the same thing keeps
    happening, but the ipod works when I hook it up to my
    360 and all my songs are still on there. I also tried
    re installing itunes and that didn't work either. If
    anyone knows what I can do please help. Thanks.
    I just got home from my dad's house and my ipod works fine on his PC, so I thought maybe my usb ports are faulty but all my other devices work on all my ports, the only thing that dosent work is my pod, so my pc isn't busted. If anyone knows what I can do please let me know, thanks for the help.

  • Suddenly iTunes does not open automatically when I connect Ipod

    Hi,
    iTunes used to open automatically when I connect my Ipod but now it does not although I did not change anything to my system.
    In place of iTunes I now have the Windows 7 choice dialog in which iTunes does not appear.
    How come?

    Open iTunes when this iPod is connected: has always been checked
    I thought you said there was no such option above?
    and nothing else
    Okay. Head to the Start menu and choose the *Control Panel* and when it comes up choose *Hardware and Sound* from the list of options. Next choose *Change default settings for media or devices*. Scroll down to the bottom where you will find an entry for Apple iPod. Go ahead and change its action to "Take no Action." Any luck there?
    I'm not quite sure why iTunes isn't opening upon connection, but we'll see where we can take this. I would start with removing iTunes and re-installing again using these instructions.

  • "USB Device Not Recognized" error when I connect iPod to my PC

    I have a brand new 5th gen (I think) iPod.
    I have been able to connect it successfully to my home laptop, download music to it and play it so I know the iPod works per se and the cable is ok too.
    Now at work (where tons of my music is) when I connect it to my PC here and I get a "USB Device Not Recognized" error pops up from my taskbar. When I click on the message it pops up a "USB Device Not Recognized" window which displays a list of USB ports, and shows "Unknown Device" for the one where the iPod is connected.
    I think its probably USB1.something as opposed to USB2.0 but from what I understand that shouldn't matter.
    Can anyone suggest anything ?
    I've tried the 5R's as far as I can, and I read through this thread:
    http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=500559&tstart=15
    but there didn't seem to be anything conclusive.
    Thanks for any help,

    First make sure the latest iTUnes is installed on this work PC, IF your allowed to install things on it, the latest iTunes version is 6.0.4.2 and can be downloaded from the apple site (Hit iPod+iTunes tab at the very top of this web page)
    Another thing is what version of windows is the work PC? Is it windows XP Windows 2000 Or windows Me 98? iTunes will only run on XP and 2000

  • Help, iTunes refuses to not auto launch when iPhone connected to computer

    Hi, anyone else have this obnoxious problem? I unchecked "auto syncing" and all of the possible disabling options in iTunes>Preferences. Another forum I visted mentioned disabling iTunes Helper. I am having a problem launching iTunes Helper because I did a search from the main Windows Start area (lower left of computer screen), and iTunes Helper does show up with a .exe extension showing it's an application. However, when I click on it, it just disappears. It's also not listed in "My Programs" or when I run "msconfig". Is finding iTunes Helper so I can disable it what I need here to keep iTunes from auto launching when the iPhone is connected, or is my solution in doing something else? I'm using iTunes 9.0.25 Any solid help here is much appreciated!

    I don't have an iPhone but I imagine it is probably similar to using an iPod. When I connect the iPod to the computer and it shows up in iTunes under devices, click on the device (iPhone), in the device screen that appears there is an options section that has a check-box "Open iTunes when this iPod is connected." Un-check it.

  • ITunes does not open automatically when I connect my iPhone 4.

    Yes......I have checked off the necessary box on the "home page".
    iTunes DOES open when I connect my iPod.
    Any ideas?

    plug your phone into iTunes, check the box to prevent syncing, unplug the phone, plug it back in, then uncheck the box again, then disconnect and shut down iTunes, plug in your phone and it should automatically open

  • Being notified when the connection to internet is establish

    having a pc which is not permmanently connected to internet I want to know how can I construct a listener for being notified when a connection to internet is establish

    That would require the following...
    For your specific OS and environment in the OS you will need to determine the specific ways, via C API calls, callback or notification events, how to know this.
    Then you write JNI code so your java application can talk to that code.
    Alternatively you can just query yahoo every couple of minutes. If it responds then you are connected. If not then you are not.

  • HT1351 I would like to sync ITUNES to my IPOD.  When I click on devices the sync is greyed out.  can anyone help

    I would like to sync ITUNES to my IPOD.  When I click on devices the sync is greyed out.  can anyone help.  I am running Windows 8

    You need to select your iPod in iTunes.  The command (from the menu bar?) is disabled because you have not selected a device for which the command is applicable.
    The latest iTunes may hide the sidebar.  To show the sidebar, from the menu bar, under View, select Show Sidebar.  In the sidebar, find and select the iPod under DEVICES. 
    Once the iPod is selected, you can select the Sync command under File -> Devices in the menu bar.  You can also just click the Sync button at the bottom left corner of the iTunes window (when the iPod is selected).

    See if placing the iPod in Recovery mode will allow a restore via iTunes
    Next try DFU mode

    You can also try another computer to help determine if you have a computer or iPod problem.

    What version of iTunes is on the computer? You need at least 11.4.
