HT1923 ITunes no longer starts when I plug in iTouch.

ITunes is on Windows 7.  It operates well in all other respects.  It does recognize the iTouch and synchronize.  iTunes just does not start automatically when I plug in the iTouch as it used to do.  Is there a fix short of reinstall iTunes which doesn't seem worth the bother?

It SHOULD show up in iPhoto if you have photos in your Camera Roll, in addition to opening in iTunes.

  • After 4.3, iTunes no longer opens when I plug my iPhone in to sync

    I downloaded the most recent update. Now, when I plug in my iPhone to sync/charge, only iPhoto opens and iTunes will not.  I have the box checked in iTunes to open iTunes when the phone is connected but it doesn't and I have to open it manually.  Bug????

    Problem SOLVED. Somehow iTunesHelper disappeared from Login Items. Not sure what caused this, but here's how to fix the problem.
    Goto System Preferences:Accounts:Login Items. Check to see if iTunesHelper is listed and not unknown. If it is unknown, delete it. Then go to Finder, find iTunes, and Control-Click to Show Package Contents. Go to Contents:MacOS and you'll see iTunesHelper. Now just drag this into the Login Items window in System Preferences and check the Hide box. Restart your Mac and iTunes should now start whenever an iOS device is connected.
    THIS WORKS - just do this and ituneshelper gets reinstalled

  • Itunes won't start when i plug in my ipod Touch

    When I plug my iPod Touch into my computer iTunes will not launch.
    I have iTunes version 9.0.3.15 and Windows Vista Pro.
    I checked in services and "iTunesHelper.exe" ; "Apple Mobile Device" ; "iPod Service" are all started and set to automatic
    Under OPTIONS in the summary tab within iTunes "Open iTunes when this iPod is attached" is greyed out and I am not able to select it.
    What am I missing that keeps iTunes from opening on its own?

    Under OPTIONS in the summary tab within iTunes "Open iTunes when this iPod is attached" is greyed out and I am not able to select it.
    Good Lord. I'm not sure that I've ever seen this hit someone in quite this context, but that's consistent with a blown-out iTunes preferences file (a greyed-out option that can't be selected).
    Before messing with your preference files, I think we'd better check to see if this is a user-account specific problem. (There's a different set of iTunes preferences files in each Vista user account ... so if it's a blown-out pref file causing your issue in the usual user account, you should be able to get iTunes launching when an ipod is plugged in in a different user account.)
    From the Start menu, choose Control Panel.
    Open Add or remove user accounts (If using the Classic View in Windows Vista, open User Accounts. Then open Manage another account).
    Select Create a new account and follow the instructions to complete the account setup process. (Give the new user account full administrative rights.)
    Once the new account is created, choose Log Off from the Start menu. Log into the newly created user account. (Don't use fast user switching to move between accounts.)
    Open iTunes in the new user account. The iTunes setup assistant will run. Don't add any files when prompted ... just let her open eventually to an empty library.
    Now go "Edit > Preferences". Click the "Devices" tab. Check the "Prevent ipods and iphones from syncing automatically" box. Click OK.
    Now quit iTunes. Stay in the new user account. Plug the Touch in. *(Do not associate the Touch with the empty library!)*
    Does iTunes launch for you? Or do you get the same trouble as in the usual user account?

  • Disabling iTunes from automatically starting when Headphone plugged in

    Hi, I have a Macbook Pro running OS X Yosemite Ver 10.10.1. Whenever I plug in my Apple headphone it in, the iTunes automatically starts and I would like to disable the same. Some times its very much annoying where in, even if I am talking on FaceTime using my head phone, (I am guessing some small movements of headphone triggering this) the  iTunes starts automatically and the songs start to play during the FaceTime call.
    Does any one know how to disable the iTunes from not starting up automatically, whenever a Headphone is inserted into Mac. I can start iTunes whenever I want like any other application. But I just don’t want any automatic starting of iTunes, when I plug the headphone! Appreciate any help in this regard. Thanks!

    I think the following solution seems to work:
    + Go to the  - System Preferences - Users and groups //Need admin privilege and unlock to edit etc.
    + Remove iTunes from Login Items
    + Click Login Items
    + then select iTunes Helper and then the - to remove the application
    + Force quit the iTunes if it was already running
    Problem did not seem to reoccur in my case. I have not restarted the mac but it seemed to work! Try yours and update please.

  • ITunes no longer opens when I plug in my iPhone - iPhoto does. Help!

    Don't know what happened - but when I plug in my iPhone to sync - iPhoto opens up - not iTunes.   I went to Help, and changed USB port, restarted computer and iPhone....  iPhoto still opens instead of iTunes.  Device only shows up on iPhoto window, not iTune.  Is there a fix?

    It SHOULD show up in iPhoto if you have photos in your Camera Roll, in addition to opening in iTunes.

  • 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.

  • Itunes application not responding when I plug in my iphone

    I am on itunes 8.2 and when I plug in my iphone itunes just goes into application not responding.
    I wait for a while and then unplug the phone and it goes back to working again.
    On the phone there is no "Sync" message. In fact with the phone plugged in I can access the phones apps just as if it was not plugged in.
    But initially when I plug it in, it does the double vibrate and shows the charging graphic so I know the cable is ok.
    The phone is already on 3.1 apparently because some new features are there... like selecting multiple photos to email.
    But I don't recall ever running any updates in itunes to make it use the new software as I read you were supposed to do.
    I don't want to upgrade to itunes 9 because I read so many people having problems with it... but I wonder if the phone is no longer compatible with itunes 8.2
    Any help is appreciated.
    Thanks.
    -Jeff

    Do you know if the problems people have reported with itunes 9 was before the 9.1 release?
    I've heard tons of people saying they were reverting back to itunes 8.2 because 9 was so bad.
    Am a bit nervous about that update because of that.
    But an applecare guy told me that the 9.1 was supposed to address those issues. I have just not heard anything about that actually fixing things though. Still seems like a lot of people are dreading the new itunes 9.
    If you are an itunes 9 user, did you have any problems with it wiping out your library or any terribly long syncing times?
    Thanks.

  • I am unable to use Itunes because it freezes when I plug my Iphone 3g in.

    Hi,
    I needed a phone, so my brother gave me his old Iphone 3g. I instantly downloaded the latest itunes (10.5.3) and I purchased some songs and application at itunes store. Unfortunately when I plug my iphone in it freezes itunes and I can't put anything on the phone. My iphone has absolutely nothing on the phone, no songs, apps, contacts, nothing.
    I have tried for about a week now. Looking at forums on the internet and downloading alternatives to itunes like media monkey and foobar and alot of other programs to be able to put music on my phone.I spoke to my brother and he had no troubles at all with the phone.
    I have no idea what to do. PLEASE HELP.
    PC/Laptop- HP Pavilion dv6-2109AX
    Windows 7
    Iphone 3g
    Software: 4.2.1
    I have tried plugging the iphone in different ports. I heard you need to plug it into a 2.0 usb port, but I tried all of them. I don't know if my laptop has 2.0 usb ports because it still didn't work.
    I tried reinstalling itunes the correct order multiple times but that didn't work.
    I tried deleting the crash files that I didnt even have. I don't have the appdata file to delete its contents, if I do I couldn't find it.
    I had to delete my virus software and disable it while I plugged my iphone in.I restarted my computer multiple times and restored my computer a few times and also deleted alot of useless files and movies to make my computer run faster.
    As soon as I plug my iphone in, itunes instantly freezes. When unplugged itunes instantly unfreezes.
    Also I have the original Iphone charger.
    HELP! WHAT AM I DOING WRONG?
    Thanks in advance. (:

  • My iPad no longer bleeps when I plug it in to my pc or power source. What could be the problem?

    My iPad2 no longer bleeps when I plug it in to my pc or power source, what could be the problem and what must I do to rectify this problem. Is it a sign of a malfunction?

    A description of how system sounds and can be controlled ....
    If you lose sounds for keyboard clicks, games or other apps, email notifications and other notifications, system sounds may have been muted.
    System sounds can be muted and controlled two different ways. The screen lock rotation can be controlled in the same manner as well.
    Settings>General>Use Side Switch to: Mute System sounds. If this option is selected, the switch on the side of the iPad above the volume rocker will mute system sounds.
    If you choose Lock Screen Rotation, then the switch locks the screen. If the screen is locked, you will see a lock icon in the upper right corner next to the battery indicator gauge.
    If you have the side switch set to lock screen rotation then the system sound control is in the task bar. Double tap the home button and in the task bar at the bottom, swipe all the way to the right. The speaker icon is all the way to the left. Tap on it and system sounds will return.
    If you have the side switch set to mute system sounds, then the screen lock rotation can be accessed via the task bar in the same manner as described above.
    This support article from Apple explains how the side switch works.
