  • ITunes has stopped launching when I plug in my iPhone via USB

    Two things have stopped working with my iPhone recently.
    1.  iTunes no longer launches automatically when I plug in my iPhone to my iMac via USB.
    2.  The iPhone Notes app has stopped syncing via USB lead between the iPhone and the iMac.
    I have tried closing applications, and rebooting both the iPhone and iMac, but this makes no difference.
    I'm running OS X 10.6.8 on my iMac.
    My iPhone is a 3G running iOS 4.2.1
    Can anyone help?
    This sounds like a bug introduced by a recent software update.  Is anyone at Apple listening?

    For point 1 have a look on your Mac:
    Settings | System | Users & Groups | Your Account | Login Items
    and see if iTunesHelper is there and ticked. If it has a yellow warning symbol next to it it has lost were to find this app which brings up iTunes when you connect devices.
    It could have been messed up by an upgrade of iTunes. To set it up again you can add it to the 'Login Items' again. The iTunesHelper application is buried inside the iTunes application special folder:
    Applications > iTunes > Contents > MacOS > iTunesHelper
    you can navigate to it by looking at the package contents for iTunes (right click it). You can't add it by choosing the '+' button because you have to look inside iTunes.
    Open Users & Groups, your account, Login Items then next to it
    Open a Finder window navigate to iTunesHelper like above and then drag icon for it into the Login Items window.

  • ITunes doesn't launch when iPod is connected

    It used to but suddenly stopped.  It does show up on the device list.  The option box is checked.  I've turned the iPod off and even restarted my Mac.  It launches iPhoto, but not iTunes.  I've got the latest version of iTunes.

    Other strings on this seem to be related to Mac Lion, but I'm still with Snow Leopard.

  • IPod nano 3rd gen. Apple logo remains on screen and iTunes doesn't recognise it's plugged in, I can't even turn it off. I've tried to get to disc menu but when I hold the 'menu and select button' it reboots it doesn't recognise the select and play button

    iPod nano 3rd gen. Apple logo remains on screen and iTunes doesn't recognise it's plugged in, I can't even turn it off. I've tried to get to disc menu but when I hold the 'menu and select button' it reboots and then doesn't recognise the select and play button to show the tick. I'm helpless.

    Try:
    - iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
    - Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
    How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
    - If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
    - Try on another computer                 
    - If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

  • When iPhone 3GS is connected iTunes doesn't launch

    Updated to iTunes 9, updated iPhone to 3.1. When iPhone gets connected iTunes doesn't launch automatically. I should add though, that my ipod shuffle when connected does auto launch iTunes.

    Here's what I did: uncheck "disable autosync for ipod and iphones" in itunes/settings. Then connect your phone, go to summary pane and choose "sync when this phone is connected". Go back to itunes/settings and select "disable autosync..." again. Check the summary pane again, autosync should be garyed out again. Close itunes, disconnect the phone. Connect again and itunes should auto launch without starting to sync.

    As the subject says. Updated to iTunes 9, updated iPhone to 3.1. When iPhone gets connected iTunes doesn't launch automatically. I should add though, that my ipod shuffle when connected does auto launch iTunes.

    Apparently this is a bug in iTunes 9. Hopefully their will be an update shortly to fix this minor annoyance.

  • ITunes doesn't open when launched or takes several minutes to open

    Just like the title says, iTunes doesn't open when I click the shortcut in the Start menu. It appears in the windows task manager under proccesses as 'iTunes.exe *32'. Sometimes it will open 10-15 minutes later. It worked just fine until a few weeks ago. I have tried running as Administrator, I've tried uninstalling/reinstalling multiple times. Not sure what else I can do. I need to use iTunes to synce my mom's iPhone 4S and my iPod touch 3 Generation. Any help is greatly appreciated!

    You said it was showing in the processes as
    iTunes.exe *32
    You have the wrong version

  • How do I stop iTunes from auto-launching when connecting iPod.

    I have found one method of doing this set out below.
    You may want to stop iTunes from auto-launching whenever you plug in your iPod. To do this, open iTunes, and select the iPod in the left-hand Source window. Four buttons will then appear in the lower right-hand corner of the iTunes window. Click the left-most button with the iPod icon on it. This will bring up the iPod Preferences dialog. Uncheck the option labeled "Open iTunes when attached." You probably also want to prevent iTunes from trying to automatically synchronize your iPod when you connect by selecting the "Manually manage songs and playlists" option in the same Preferences dialog.
    I am unable to find the iPod icon in the left hand Source window, maybe if I connect my iPod an icon will appear, but I don't want to do this in case stuff is transferred between the iPod and Comp or vice versa.
    Sorry to be so long winded, but it was difficult to explain without being so.
    If any one knows of another way to do what I am trying to do
    Perhaps they would let me know.

    okay. in a 7.0.x, we no longer get the "ipod options" icon when the ipod is plugged in and selected in the sourcelist (the area to the left of the iTunes screen). instead, the ipod options and preferences display for us in the main library screen.
    "Open iTunes when this ipod is connected" is kept down at the bottom of the "Summary" tab. (scroll down to the bottom of that tab to see everything under the "Options" heading.)
    "manually manage music" (or "manually manage music and videos" if you've got a video-capable ipod) is also kept down at the bottom of the "Summary" tab in the Options area.
    for a technique for connecting the ipod without automatically syncing (if you have an automatic syncing option set on the ipod already), and then changing the options to "manually manage music", see:
    How to keep iTunes from automatically updating your iPod
    unfortunately, that document is also written for itunes 6.0.x or earlier. so in your case the instructions under the "Now that you're logged in as the Guest user, it's time to get back to iTunes and your iPod:" section at steps 4, 5 and 6 should read:
    4. Scroll down to the bottom of the Summary Tab
    5. Check the "Manually manage music" checkbox.
    6. Click "Apply".

  • 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. (:

  • 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.
