IPhoto not opening up when Iphone is connected

So I had this problem, Iphoto and image capture and itunes (sometimes) was not recognizing my iPhone3G.
Tried everything listed earlier.
ANSWER: I attached a new cord and it worked perfectly. If your cord is in any way having to be " Played" with or wiggeled in the Mac
will have a hard time seeing the device.

If you have autosync in iTunes/Edit/Preferences/Devices disabled, enable it again. Then click on your phone in the device list, and check the Summary pane if autolaunch is selected. If no, select it, go back to Edit/Preferences/Devices and enable the option to prevent autosync, if you had this selected before.
The reason to go back and forth is, that you can't see if autolaunch for iTunes is selected in the Summary pane, if you disabled autosync.
I hope this makes sense

ITunes 11.1.5 doesn't open automatically when iPhone 5 connected

I have tried checking and unchecking "open iTunes when iPhone is connected" and that hasn't helped.

I’ve found another solution for those where this doesn’t resolve it.
From user Crosbie at MacForums.com
You can extract iTunes Helper from the iTunes package, if you like, to replace the absent one.
It can be found by right-clicking the iTunes app and choosing 'Show Package Contents'; then navigate down to the 'MacOS' folder. You can then drag it to your open 'login items' window.

This solved the issue for me, where unchecking and re-checking didn’t.

IPhoto opens automatically when iPhone is connected

iPhoto for Mac (Yosemite) opens automatically when iPhone (iOS 8) is connected. I have "no application" chosen in iPhoto preferences and Image Capture has no preference options in the menu. I can find nothing in System Preferences OS X 10 or in Setting iOS 8. Where do I turn off the automatic iPhoto start?

This is most likely because it is asking you to choose photos to sync to your computer. I don't know how to get rid of it though. Hope you find the answer!

Open iTunes when iPhone/Pad connected not working

iTunes recently quit auto opening when I connect my iPhone or iPad. I'm not sure exactly when it started happening, but I'm guessing it was after a recent iTunes or other software update.
The Prevent ipad etc from syncing box under iTunes -> Preferences -> Devices -> is UNchecked.
and the Open iTunes when this iPad/Phone is Connected box in the device summery section is checked.
I do have iTunes helper in my login items.
I've searched help and troubleshooting and can't find anything to help.
Any help here?

I'm having the same issue. Just started recently. I don't see any suggestions for how to fix it. Do you?

Open iTunes when iPhone is connected

I was just wondering, is there anyway to get itunes to open when i plug in my iphone?

Notice that I said UNcheck that option... Also, in the "Summary" pane for your iPhone in iTunes be sure "Automatically sync when this iPhone is connected", is checked. (This won't work if the "Disable..." option in the iTunes prefs is checked.)

Not opening iTunes when Touch is connected

I believe it used to be the case that my Touch opened iTunes when the "Open iTunes...when connected" was checked off, but now it doesn't. It's not a huge problem, but it is frustrating.
Can anyone give me a clue as to waht to look for to correct this?
iPod Touch 4th Gen

If you have autosync in iTunes/Edit/Preferences/Devices disabled, enable it again. Then click on your phone in the device list, and check the Summary pane if autolaunch is selected.

ITunes does not automatically sync when iPhone is connected

I upgraded to an iPhone 3g and I am unable to select the "Automatically sync when this iPhone is connected" option. It is greyed out in the iPhone Summary Tab in iTunes. I would like to automatically sync when I connect the iphone to my mac. How can I get this option available to me?

At the iTunes menu bar, go to iTunes > Preferences.
Under the Devices tab, is "Disable automatic syncing for iPhones and iPods" selected?

ITunes 9.2.1 will not open automatically when iphone connected

i have all the relevant boxes ticked, and have tried all the 'fixes' i.e unchecking autosync boxes and then re ticking them but with no success. i have even unistalled iTunes, and reinstalled it. I have to say when i reinstalled iTunes, when i connected my iphone (3GS Running Version 4.1) iTunes did open ok, but subsequently when i connect my phone, im back to my original situation????
I have connected my daughters 2G iPhone running V3.13 and again this has no effect on iTunes.
Strangely though i have connected my daughters iPod Nano and voila!!! iTunes opens automatically???
Can anybody figure this one out please???

Finally i have worked out why itunes didn't open when my iphone or ipod was connected. Ituneshelper.app (which is burried in the itunes app) was not running as a start up item.
to fix this, if anybody else has this issue.......
1. open up applications, and right click the itunes icon.
2. select 'show package contents'
3. open the contents folder
4. open the resources folder
5. scroll down until you find the ItunesHelper icon.
6. Now open up your system preferences.
7. select accounts
8. select login items
9. now drag the ItunesHelper icon into the login items screen
10. This will now put the ituneshelper app into the startup items.
To confirm the change restart your mac, and connect your iphone!!! Ehhhh voila!!!!
Hope this helps as ive been looking for a solution for ages.

IPhoto on fullscreen freezes when iPhone is connected (lion 10.7)

I seem to have a rare problem with my iPhoto.
I pop up my iPhoto, on fullscreen on OSX 10.7 Lion.
I have iTunes up and running as well on full screen but not sure if this matters.
When I pop in my iPhone, my iPhoto seems to freeze -- probably happens when the iPhoto tries to view the pictures in my iPhone.. Anyone else have this issue? I'm not sure if I should report it to apple...
This only happens when i have iPhoto on full screen, on Lion. But happens on both my Air and Macbook Pro...

If that's the case, then that could be the issue LOL.
Thanks, I didnt know that.
I hope a remedy is on the way (if they plan to)...

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.

Itunes doesn t open automatically when iphone 4 is plugged

Hey Alexander,
Has iTunes Helper been removed from the login items? Go to System Preferences> Accounts> Login Items.
You can add it again manually as described here: http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1610692
you can also get it back by downloading and reinstalling the latest version of iTunes.
