Cant open itunes when ipod connected

I cant open i tunes when my ipod is connected. as soon as i disconnect it itunes comes up. if i connect my ipod with itunes already running it stops working.
im really starting to loose my patience
help!

Are you sure you actually synced them? I know you said it shows up when your iPod is connected, but I'm not sure if that means it's really there. When your iPod is connected, click on the TV Shows tab in the main window in iTunes. Check your syncing preferences there and make sure the shows are actually getting synced.

Can not open Itunes without Ipod connected

I get this message when trying to open itunes without ipod connected.
Problem with Shortcut
The Drive or network connection that the shortcut “iTunes.Ink” refers to is unavailable. Make sure that the disk is properly inserted or the network resource is available, and try again.
If ipod is plugged in seems to open fine however can not disconnect without closing itunes.
Im using windows XP Sp3
Any suggestions ???

Right click on the desktop and choose new shortcut. Then either type iTunes.exe or search for the program in the drop down menu and then click ok. That shortcut should open iTunes and you can delete the other one.

Hi I cant open Itunes when my computer opens it keeps telling me there is a runtime error

Hi I cant open itunes when my computer starts, I keep getting a runtime error
It reads Program c:\program Files\iTunes\iTunes exe
R6034
An application has made an attempt to load the C runtime library incorrectly.
Please contact the applications support team for more information.
Any help greatly appreciated!

What is important is how much free storage you have on your iPad not how much storage you have on iCloud ( which must be 17.2 GB of 25 GB).
Look in Settings > General > Usage > Storage

Summary Options Open iTunes when iPod is Connected

Open iTunes when this iPod is connected
is grayed out under iTunes Summary Options.
Anyone know why? how to enable? is it the result of some other preference?
Some file I need to delete?
Running Windows 7 64-bit
iOS 4.3.5
iPod Touch 4G 32GB
Just did a full uninstall of all Apple software (manually also as described in tech note).
Can't find anything else, other than I can't seem to upgrade to iOS 5; one app (NewYorkTimes) refuses to be moved and does not show on left column of iPod apps (but does show in the Apps purchased). I've reinstalled directly to iPod but can't figure what is corrupt.
#2: high res photos and tells me I need to synch photos
I just had two hours with frozen system and cancelled the Sync on the iPod and shutdown/power off the PC. It showed what looked like 99.99% download and install process.
There is 779,856k file
C:\Users\______\AppData\Roaming\Apple Computer\iTunes\iPod Software Updates
Very frustrated and confused, still....

The only clue I have is when I go to Device Manager I see an error for device;
If I go to Devices and Printers control panel, other USB devices, it finds a problem with iPod.
Thanks to all.
So the error "this device cannot start (Code 10)" and the error mesages about the hardware leave me thinking Apple's device driver support is at fault and is an issue if not THE issue in all this.

Opening iTunes when iPod is plugged in

iTunes won't start when I plug in the iPod nano to the computer. When i go to manualy open iTunes a message appears saying: "another user on this computer is using the iPod softwear, so iTunes is unable to communicate with this iPod. Please ask the other user to log out". I can use iTunes after this message appears but I cannot load songs onto the iPod, the little picture of the iPod isn't there. I'm the only one on this computer who even has an iPod or software open. What can I do to change this from happening?
Windows XP

Hello carolinous,
Welcome to Apple Discussions.
There may be something in this article that may help:
iPod appears in Windows Explorer but does not appear in iTunes
Hmmm... maybe you should try this first:
\Start Menu\Programs\Administrative Tools
Then restart the ipod service under your name.

Open iTunes when iPhone connected

The option in iTunes to allow iTunes to open automatically when iPhone is connected is greyed out and won't allow me to select it. Any ideas? My husband just upgraded to an iPhone 4, same computer, different login and iTunes account and his works as it should.

The only thing I can suggest at this point is to re-install itunes. No need to uninstall first, you can merely download the latest version & re-install over your present installation. Re-boot your computer & see it that fixes things.

When i hooked up my ipod to my computer and opened itunes it wouldnt connect to it. therefore i cant add music. why wont it show up, or sync? i just got the itunes update also so i dont know how to add music to my ipod if it changed.

Hello AnthonyHamilton,
The following article can help get iTunes to recognize your iPhone again.

Place the iPod in recovery mode and then restore the iPod to factory defaults/new iPod. For recovery mode see:

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.

Possible iOS 5 bug - "Open iTunes when this iPod is connected" using 200 MB

A strange bug with either iOS 5 or iTunes 10.5 that does not look like it was discussed - I couldn't pull anything up in a search.
I've noticed that ever since upgrading to iOS 5, the amount of free space on my iPod Touch (3rd G) reported both in iTunes and on the iPod itself decreased by about 2 GB compared to what I had had free under iOS 4.3.
Originally I attributed it to the fact that iOS 5 happened to be larger in size, until I noticed that I gained about 200 MB by unchecking the "Open iTunes when..." option. See the following two screenshots:
The strange part is that the "missing" 200 MB is somehow attributed to "Audio" - also notice the difference in reported Audio size between the two images.
As a comparison, my iPad is still running iOS 4.3.5. I checked and unchecked that option in iTunes when the iPad was connected, and there was no change in reported capacity whatsoever.
Does anyone have an idea as to what the cause of this may be? Has anyone else experienced this and/or submitted a bug report to Apple software engineers?
Thanks,
Steve

iTunes freezes to the point that I must CtrlAltDel to exit it. It never did this before, but recently it has started doing this. I've had it for 13 months, so no warranty.
I have tried it in iTunes 7.5 on windows Vista and in iTunes 7.4 on Windows XP. Same issue either way.
Thanks for your prompt reply!

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.

Cannot enable "open itunes when this ipod is connected" with brand new nano

I just purchased a new 16GB 4G nano, and iTunes will not enable the check box for "open itunes when this ipod is connected". It is not greyed-out, but when I select it (check the box), iTunes un-checks the box upon the next sync.
Why won't iTunes allow me to enable "open itunes when this ipod is connected"? I have tried all combinations of check boxes, but to no avail.
Please help!

I found my answer whenever the question was posted and started checking the "More Like This" items. I swear I tried to search and find an answer before posting my question but got back some non-sensical results. However, the answer was found in an archived thread "
When I connect my iPod Touch, why won't iTunes 9.2 open automatically?
and the answer was to unclick the auto open option, shut down iTunes and restart, then click the option back on. The iTunes Help message window appears asking if I was sure I wanted to do this (Of Course!) and it seems to have addressed the problem!!

Itunes doesn't open when ipod connects to pc

Itunes won't open automatically when I connect to my pc. I have to to click on the itunes icon. I have the box checked marked to open automatically under options.

gta129,
Do you have iTunesHelper set to start up when you login? To check if it's in the list of login items:
1. Open System Preferences.
2. Click the Accounts pane.
3. Select your user.
4. Click the Login Items tab.
5. See if iTunes Helper is listed here.
Hope this helps,
Jennifer B.
