Iphone will not launch itunes

I have given my father my old iphone3, he has connected the phone to his computer, but all that happens is that some photographs from the phone are transferred to his screen. Itunes does not launch. He has not had an account with itunes before. What should he do?

When there are photos in the iPhone's Camera Roll, the iPhone is also detected as a digital camera when connected to a computer.
He needs to get an iTunes account with iTunes. If iTunes does not launch automatically, manually launch iTunes no different from launching any other application on your computer if not already launched.
Under the Summary tab for the iPhone sync preferences with iTunes, select open iTunes when this iPhone is connected.

  • IPhone will not sync iTunes and iPhoto

    Just bought an iPhone a couple weeks ago. No problems transferring (sync) iTunes and iPhoto (and everything else) on day 1. Now looking to sync a second time and no luck. When I connect iPhone to my MacBookPro, iTunes and iPhoto automatically open but no sync. And under File >> in iTunes, there is no option to sync iPhone. I have tried restarting computer, restarting iPhone, trying both ISB ports on the computer (the basic troubleshooting in the manual). Again, iTunes and iPhoto open automatically as if it wants to sync, but does not. Any suggestions ? Sorry if this is a common problem. I could not find it with a cursory search. Thanks.

    Try downloading the current iTunes version and re-install it over the existing. No need to delete iTunes on your computer first.

  • IPhone does not launch itunes

    Since I updated to Lion iTunes does not start (launch) automatically when i connect my iPhone.
    I have ticked in the box.
    I have reinstalled iTunes.
    I have Mac OS X 10.7.2
    I have iTune 10.5.2
    Any ideas?

    I am now on Lion and iTunes 10.5.  There is nothing in iTune Preferneces that indicates iTune to launch when the iPhone is connected.  And since my ICloud does not push anything aywhere, I'm wondering what can I do?

  • Iphone will not launch?

    I just got a macbook pro a week ago. I started doing an imovie project and imported pictures from iphoto. But now, whenever i try to click on the iphoto icon on the dock, it wont work. I have to hold it for a couple of seconds, it pops  up in a blue outline around it, but whenever i try to do anything, the whole iphoto window goes back to the dock. i need some help?

    Try trash the com.apple.iPhoto.plist file from the HD/Users/ Your Name / library / preferences folder. (Remember you'll need to reset your User options afterwards. These include minor settings like the window colour and so on. Note: If you've moved your library you'll need to point iPhoto at it again.)
    What's the plist file?
    For new users: Every application on your Mac has an accompanying plist file. It records certain User choices. For instance, in your favourite Word Processor it remembers your choice of Default Font, on your Web Browser is remembers things like your choice of Home Page. It even recalls what windows you had open last if your app allows you to pick up from where you left off last. The iPhoto plist file remembers things like the location of the Library, your choice of background colour, whether you are running a Referenced or Managed Library, what preferences you have for autosplitting events and so on. Trashing the plist file forces the app to generate a new one on the next launch, and this restores things to the Factory Defaults. Hence, if you've changed any of these things you'll need to reset them. If you haven't, then no bother. Trashing the plist file is Mac troubleshooting 101.

  • If iTunes 9 will not launch - read this

    Hi there,
    If iTunes 9.0.2 update has completely messed up your itunes - will not launch or what not, make sure you have the specs that are required to run it.
    Trust me, today, I finally sorted through my problems with the update.
    First off I was running OS X 10.5.8, safari 4.0.4.
    You need at least a 4.0.3 to run iTunes store in 9.0.2 and to run a safari 4.0.3 you need (i think) at least an OS X 10.5.7. And there's a need to have at least a Quicktime 7.6 installed (the quicktime was my major problem).
    So if you have at least these three things iTunes 9.0.2 should run:
    Mac OS X 10.5.7
    Safari 4.0.3
    Quicktime 7.6
    If you're still having problems... I don't know what to tell you except call customer service or continue posting and hope.
    Best of luck!!

    This is the exact same problem i am experiencing, wired pc, into router that also provides the wireless connection for my iphone. I get no device popping up in itunes when trying to add a library in remote.
    I have added the port forwards to my router with no joy, disabled any and all software firewall/av, no joy.
    Its quite frustrating as i can get to my laptop's library just fine (laptop is wireless), i've even tried at work and can get over wireless via an access point onto the network and my pc there is wired in.
    I can only guess it is my router doing something stupid, or because it is running as a gateway and router, or something.
    Any other info would be great

  • Itunes will not launch on Windows Vista no error code

    Itunes will not launch on my computer. I have windows vista. I have uninstalled and downloaded itunes repeatedly. I have also tried all of the troubleshooting tips available on the apple support site. But none of them worked. Quicktimes works fine. It is just itunes. I even opened up task manager to check the processes and itunes appears for about a second in the processes tab then just disappears. I have no idea what to do i have an iphone 3gs and havent updated it for a few months now and cannot sync my iphone without itunes. I Have kaspersky internet protection but i doubt thats the problem because itunes was working fine until i updated it.PLEASE HELPPPPPP!

    Presumably the configuration fails to complete, so every time you start iTunes it has another go.
    As iTunes works normally when you plug in your iPod, you should be able to work round this by creating a new iTunes short cut.
    Go to Program Files\iTunes and right click on iTunes.exe. Select: Send to>>Desktop(create shortcut). If you are lucky you will be able to open iTunes using this short cut.
    However this work around does not fix the underlying problem that WIndows fails to complete configuring iTunes.

  • ITunes 12.01 will not launch

    I have updated to Yosemite and iTunes 12.01 on a MacBook Pro. All find except iTunes will not launch. It just flashes and nothing happens. I booted in Safe mode and tried - no good. Also reinstalled iTunes but still nothing. Connected my iPhone and still no iTunes.
    Anyone any ideas?

    Other people seem to be having the same problem.
    There was a solution posted in another thread.
    1) Remove iTunes. Instructions can be found here: http://www.tekrevue.com/tip/uninstall-itunes/
    2) Reinstall iTunes. It can be downloaded here: http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
    If that doesn't work, I fixed the problem on my system (before seeing the above instructions) by installing Yosemite on an external drive, then booting from the external drive and copying the iTunes app from the new install back over to the main system. This will be version 12 so you will need to go through the normal update process again to get the latest version.

  • ITunes will not launch after upgrade--click, bounce bounce, nada

    iTunes will not launch after upgrade--rebooted nothing--2 bounce icon
    then shut down all and unplugged, restarted--no change, iTunes still will not launch after upgrade
    iTunes current version
    on imac w/10.6.8

    I have the same issue.
    Allready uninstalled iTunes and reinstalled it, but the same problem occurs.
    Icon keeps bouncing, and all that's visible is the first menu-item in the top menu bar, named iTunes. Nothing is clickable though.
    The iPhone Configuration Utility doesn't seem to work either, it crashes on uploading an app to my iPhone. I guess it's using some of iTunes' libs or something.
    Does anyone know how to get iTunes working again? I'm getting pretty desperate over here...
    Thanks!

  • ITunes will not Launch 10.6 Snow Leopard

    I just upgraded to 10.6 last night and now my iTunes will not launch. I removed all my extra plugins and am trying to start fresh. Here's the error message that pops up in the Console:
    8/29/09 10:26:15 AM [0x0-0xbddbdd].com.apple.iTunes[9902] [Deprecated] CocoaJava: com.apple.cocoa.foundation.NSRuntime

    Any ideas?

    OK, this solution worked for me:
    Quit all programs, force-quit iTunes if it is locked up.
    Disconnect any iPhone or iPods
    Go to: Macintosh HD/users/"your user name"/library/preferences, and drag to trash the preference panels: with itunes in the name: including>com.apple.iTunes.plist, com.apple.iTunes.eq.plist
    Download iTunes 8.2.1 from theApple website,
    Run the iTunes 8.2.1 installer
    It will have you set up iTunes as if for the first time.
    Launch iTunes after it is set up, it will take a bit as it creates new prefence files.
    Quit iTunes>restart the mac>Launch iTunes and after it loads plug in your iPod or iPhone.

  • IPhone not launching iTunes automatically

    How do I get my iPhone 3G running version 2.1 to automatically launch iTunes 8? The only thing that launches automatically when I plug my iPhone in is iPhoto, and that's when I take a photo with my iPhone (which is ok). I'm running OS X 10.5.5. Thanks!

    I just noticed this peculiar behavior on my system too, but this might help you.
    Go ahead and launch iTunes, plug in your iPhone. You'll then notice that on the left side, under Devices, your iPhone should appear there. Click on it, and you'll see the Summary tab, and within that the sections for iPhone (which lists your iphone info), Version, and Options. Within the Options section, you should see 3 checkboxes: "Automatically sync when this iPhone is connected", "Sync only checked songs and videos", and "Manually manage music and videos".
    Here's the strange behavior I noticed on my computer. Prior to iTunes 8, if I had the "Automatically sync ..." checkbox UNCHECKED, then iTunes will launch, but will NOT sync automatically.
    However, now with iTunes 8, if I have that "Automatically sync ..." checkbox UNCHECKED, then iTunes will not launch at all, and of course iPhone won't sync. I would have to manually launch iTunes, click on the "Sync" button in order for it to do so.
    I then CHECKED the "Automatically sync ..." checkbox, and viola! upon plugging my iPhone in, iTunes automatically opened, and started syncing.
    So it seems that if you want iTunes to launch AND sync automatically, you'll need to check the "Automatically sync ..." option box, and be prepared for iTunes to launch and sync automatically.
    If you don't have that option checked, then it won't launch or sync at all.
    Strange eh? Hope it helped though.

  • Re: iTunes will not launch.

    I have uninstalled all apple products and then re-downloaded itunes and after the installation is said that it installed correctly but it will not launch.

    I have been unsuccessful in utlizing Itunes.
    I have downloaded and followed the Install intructions and even received the message that is was successfully installed, but I can not use it.
    When I plug my Iphone in, nothing happens. Itunes does not seem to recognize that I've even downloaded it. I've deleted and reinstalled on each user (including Administrator) and still no luck.
    Can anyone please help me??!?!?!!!

  • ITunes will not launch or upgrade

    When I attempt to launch iTunes, I get an error message of "Problem with Shortcut: This action is only valid for products that are currently installed." The program will not launch from the icon, from the start menu or when I connect my iPhone.
    I also cannot complete an upgrade of iTunes, as it hangs on the install feature. It will not replace previous iTunes.msi files and will not let me redirect it to a new location.
    Help please!

    Download the Windows Install Clean-up.
    http://support.microsoft.com/kb/290301
    Then go to the list of Programs on your computer and find the Windows Install Cleanup. It will be listed at the end of the list of programs starting with "Windows". Open it and remove the following programs form the list by using the Ctrl tab on your computer to highlight these programs (If there are more than 1 version listed, remove all versions): iTunes, QuickTime, Apple Software Update, Apple Mobile Device Support, Bon Jour, and Apple Application Support. Remove these programs. After these programs are removed, go to iTunes website and download the new version of iTunes. You do not need to restart your computer. This worked like a charm for me!

  • Itunes will not open on my computer the icon on desktop  has changed to a white foldertype icon. itunes is listed in programmes on my start menu but will not launch either

    please help
    itunes will not open on my computer the icon on my desktop has changed to a white folder and it is still listed in start programmes but will not launch i am concerned about losing all my downloads

    You music etc should not be affected by problems with the iTunes program, nevertheless it is always a good idea to backup your data.
    You haven't said if there was any error message when you tried to start iTunes. If  there was one please give it in full.
    Also check to see if QuickTime works, iTunes can not work without it. If QuickTime doesn't work, it has to be fixed before worrying about iTunes.
    Then restart your PC and open your Task manger and select the Processes tab.
    Try to start iTunes, does iTunes.exe appear on the processes tab? If so does it disappear again or remain although the programs does not open?
