ITunes 8.2 no longer launches automatically on iPhone connect ?
Is this something different with iTunes 8.2. iTunes always used to launch automatically after connecting iPhone. It will recognize phone but I have to launch iTunes manually and wait after I connect the phone.
Yes - there used to be a checkbox for this in iTunes preferences asking whether or not to automatically launch iTunes when connecting an ipod (maybe for phone to in pre 8.2 versions) but they took it out ??? Somebody figured out to keep iPhoto from launching you have to open a different program called Image Capture and go into the preferences and tell it not to launch any program when connecting a camera (which iphoto sees the phone as), but I don't know where they hid the itunes launch switch now ???

Itunes no longer opening automatically when iphone connected
iTunes sees the iphone if I launch iTunesbut it no longer opens automatically.
could it be a preferences file problem?Hmm if click the Apple >> system preferences >> users and groups >> login items, do you have itunes helper listed?
You can also try this:
Open in Image Capture in /Applications with your iphone connected. In the lower left, you'll see "connecting this iphone opens with" (if you don't see it, click the triangle/box icon to show it). Click the menu >> select "Other" and navigate to itunes and choose that. Quit Image Capture.

My iTunes library will no longer sync to my iPhone or iPad, nor will it play from my Mac. My Library is on my external HD. iTunes is correctly looking to the HD as its library. Please help...
Guys, I found another user and what he said to do worked!!! I have copied the information below:
This was 1 of the things that happend to me too, the other one was that at the bottom of the itunes page were it says all the memory info, it marked that I had over 3gb of other memory wich I didn't.
Anyways what I did was to unmark the calendar, contacts etc. ( so that they wont sync with the computer ), pressed apply, then I marked all of them again, apply again and for last I pressed Sync wich is at the bottom right coner by the apply botton.
I'm not sure that had anything to do with it but it worked, my music appeard both of my itunes playlists and the ones I bought in itunes. Also the other memory dissapeard and it's all good.
I'm not sure this will help you but thats my 5 cents, if the problem continues its better to call customer service and ask for a technician.
Hope your problem gets solved. Have a nice day. -
I'm running OSX 10.5.8 - iTunes 10 will no longer export to mu iPhone. This system can't upgrade to iTunes 11. Is there a work around?
If it's because you updated the device to iOS 6, yes; click here and download iTunes 10.6.3.
If it's because you bought an iPhone 5, fifth generation iPod touch, iPad 4, or iPad mini, no.

ITunes No Longer Launches Automatically When My iPhone Plugs In
So as the subject line says, my iPhone no longer starts iTunes when it is automatically plugged in. It just stopped doing this after I talked to AppleCare to get my MobileMe working (my computer is old so it uses .Mac but it wouldn't load successfully so AppleCare changed some preferences around). Anyway, now when I plug my iPhone in, iPhoto launches but in order to get my phone to perform a backup, I have to manually open iTunes when before both iTunes and iPhoto launched automatically.
Anybody know how I can get it back to launching automatically when I plug my phone in to the computer?Like the poster "Sig", I have this problem as well.
I checked the Login Items in the preferences and the radio button was checked. So, that's not the case. Nor was I using any iPhone utility either.
Now, I tried all alternate USB ports on my Mac Pro and I also tried plugging into my iMac 20' 2.0Ghz Core 2 Duo. My iPhone is not recognized on either. I think it's something specific to iPhone v3.01 and 3.1 software. Because, I've not upgraded my iMac's iTunes yet. So, I think we can either rule out it being iTunes' fault. That or this iTunesHelper needs is broken... if that is the case.
So, do we have some better solutions to this problem?
PS: Oh, and yes, I did update iTunes to v9.0.1 on my Mac Pro. Still no response.

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.
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.

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.Hello mysticsinger,
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.

ITunes doesn't launch automatically when iPhone is plugged in.
It used to be, that when I plugged my iPhone into my Mac, iTunes launched automatically. It stopped doing that.
If I launch iTunes myself the iPhone appears and everything works fine. I checked all the settings and asked the guy at the Genius Bar, but no joy. Anyone know what can cause this?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 no longer starts automatically whwn I connect my devices
Hi there,
This is a small problem, but an annoying one. Before updating to iTunes 10.5 (and my devices to iOS5), iTunes used to start up when I connected any one of my apple devices (iPod Classic/iPod nano/iPad/2 x iPhones) and start syncing automatically. Now I have to start iTunes manually, and although my iPhone/iPod/iWhatever is listed under 'Devices' in the sidebar on the left, I have to click the sync button myself.
I know, I know – small potatoes compared with the problems of others, but a little bit annoying. I used to love it when I connected my device and iTunes did exactly what I wanted without me doing anything.
Thanks in advance!Hi Michael
Thanks for the link to the tip!
In that link Nick Holmes said that the iTunesHelper app was to be fount in the contents of the iTunes app, in the folder Contents>Resouces. As it turns out it was in 'Contents>MacOS'
I wonder if there was a change in the location of the iTunesHelper when it switched from iTunes 10.4.x to 10.5, because although iTunesHelper was in my Login items, it wasn't working.
To cut a long story short, I removed iTunesHelper from my loginitems, re-added it using the instruction in your link and rebooted - hey presto, it worked!!!
So thanks to you, and well done for crediting Nick Holmes. I'll send some positive vibes his way... -
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. -
I've had an ipad since late December 2010.
In the past, it has always automatically synced when I connect it to my macbook pro.
Now, when i connect it...nothing happens.
Can anyone tell me how to fix this?The first thing to do is to launch iTunes on your Mac. Go to Preferences - under the iTunes heading in the menu at the top. Click on Devices. Make sure that you uncheck the box next to - Prevent iPods, iPhones and iPads from syncing automatically. Quit iTunes and restart your Mac.
Connect your iPad to the Mac and launch iTunes. Select your iPad under the Devices heading on the left side of iTunes. Then click on the Summary Tab at the top right side of the iTunes window. Put a checkmark (select) in the box next to - Open iTunes when this iPad is Connected. Make sure that all of the other boxes are checked as you desire according to what you want to sync. Click - Apply - in the lower right corner to sync.
Disconnect your iPad after syncing. Quit iTunes. Then connect your iPad again and iTunes should launch and sync automatically.
