ITunes 7.3 locks up when iPhone is connected!

Just got my lovely new iPhone, and I can't do a thing with it.
Installed 10.4.10 and iTunes 7.3 (after a false starte with the iPhone before I realized I needed to add the newest software).
Now, when I connect the iPhone to my MacBook Pro, iTunes doesn't open. If I open iTunes first and then connect the iPhone, iTunes locks up and takes the entire computer with it. I can't Force Quit, change applications or start any new apps. I have to shut the Mac down by holding the power button.
Help!

This is SO freakin frustrating! Tired of iTunes locking up my ENTIRE Mac Mini when my phone is connected. I wish Apple would get it together and fix this. Otherwise I WILL move to Google Play. This is SO annoying!!!!

ITunes 9 doesn't launch when iPhone is connected

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.

ITunes does not start automatically when iPhone is connected

Have just upgraded to LION. iTuneshelper in Login items is now not found and iTunes will not start automatically when an iPhone is connected via USB.

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 doesn't launch automatically when iPhone is connected

This used to work fine...I'd attached my iPhone 3GS to my MacBook via USB, iTunes would automatically launch and begin synching my iPhone. Then (I'm not exactly sure what happened...perhaps it was an update, or a spate of time when I was travelling and using a spotty wireless connection, I'm not sure), but for several weeks now, iTunes no longer autolaunches and synchs when I connect the iPhone.
I did some tests:
iTunes does autolaunch when I connect my iPod Classic.
I can open iTunes manually, and iTunes sees my iPhone and syncs it automatically.
When I connect my iPhone, iPhoto does come up automatically if I have photos to sync.
The iPhone makes it's happy little connection sound when attached to the laptop via USB and still charges.
Under iTunes Preferences, Devices, I still have "Prevent iPods, iPhones and iPads from synching automatically" unchecked.
So the only thing I can see that is not working here is autolaunch of iTunes via iPhone.
I have iTunes 10.4(80)
iPhone 4.3.5
Mac OS 10.6.8
Any ideas?

I’ve found another solution for those where this doesn’t resolve it.

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.

Itunes won't automatically open when iphone 4 connected

usually when i connect my iphone both iphoto and itunes would automatically open. now only iphoto opens. if i open itunes manually my phone is there and it syncs fine and so on. 'open itunes automatically' is selected as well. any ideas? thanks.

Have you rebooted your computer?
If that doesn't fix it, UNCHECK 'open itunes automatically', save preferences, then go back and check it again.

When iPhone is connected to PC, it shows in itunes but Autoplay does not open for me to copy photos. I tried the Control Panel, changing Autoplay settings but no use. I use a Windows Vista. Please help! All my little ones' pictures are on my iPhone 3GS

I tried hard reset on my iPhone. I tried restarting laptop and iPhone. I tried a different laptop. I tried removing driver and reinstalling from Device Manager but did not find a driver other than "Apple Mobile Device USB Driver" under "Universal Serial Bus controllers" which I heard shouldn't be uninstalled.
Anything I haven't tried?
HELP!

A bit confused by your statement

Are you seeing your music listed in the iPod screen, or in Win explorer as in your earlier post?
I can see all the songs in my Edrive>al's Ipod> Ipod Control> Music folder.
A corrupted iPod database, will report zero music used, and have your music size reported as others, so you wont see the music in the iPod screen. Sorry, I thought there was some hope for you with iPodAccess, in recovery of the corrupted iPod database with your ratings.
You can try to borrow and use the Mac Disk Utility ->First Aid ->Repair.
Of course, if your iPod Hardisk is in a bad state, from the Disk Diagnostic report, then all my suggestion are futile.

Itunes doesn t open automatically when iphone 4 is plugged

thanks

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.

Itunes will not start automatically when iphone plugged in

itunes will not start automatically when iphone is plugged in. it used to. now it turns on iphoto but not itunes. the option to check "open itunes when this iphone is connected" is ghosted and cannot be selected.
i have ios 5 now, but it also did this with the previous os.

Hi billm1013,
I'm sorry to hear you are having these issues with your iPhone. If your iPhone isn't being recognized in iTunes, and/or iTunes isn't responding to your mouse when the iPhone is connected, you may find the troubleshooting steps outlined in the following article helpful:

Stop iTunes 11.0 from launching automatically when iPhone is connected?

Hi all -
Just got an iPhone 5 and connected it to my computer to charge. Discovered upon doing so that my version of iTunes is now upgraded to 11.0. How do I stop iTunes 11.0 from automatically launching when I connect my iPhone? I can't find an appropriate box to uncheck. In the old version of iTunes, there were different things to uncheck for stopping automatic syncing and automatic launching. Is this still the case? If so I'd like to prevent launching but keep syncing.
Thanks.

Hummm, that's odd. I always have "Automatically sync when iPhone is connected" unchecked, it has been working fine untill this morning, out of the blue when I plug the iPhone 5 in, **** iTunes launchs itself Then an error message said the iTune could not connect to the iPhone5, meanwhile the iPhone keeps beeping because of that.
It seems like Apple loves all these obnoxious automatic this and that features, they do it in iPhoto, XCode.... everything they make. Personally I like to have more control of what I want to do, I really HATE HATE HATE HATE HATE HATE HATE!! all the automatic these and that.

You can delete music from the actual iPhone by going to the song/album you wish to delete and swping to the right on it, a delete bar will appear and you will have the option to delete.

HT1688 my iphone is locked, it said iphone disabled connect to itunes

my iphone us locked, it said iphone disabled connect to itunes.

If it is locked from entering the wrong passcode too many times you'll have to restore it with iTunes on the last computer it was synced with. If you don't have access to the last computer it was synced with, you will have to force it into recovery mode & restore as a new device. See http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1212.
