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.

  • Suddenly iTunes does not open automatically when I connect Ipod

    Hi,
    iTunes used to open automatically when I connect my Ipod but now it does not although I did not change anything to my system.
    In place of iTunes I now have the Windows 7 choice dialog in which iTunes does not appear.
    How come?

    Open iTunes when this iPod is connected: has always been checked
    I thought you said there was no such option above?
    and nothing else
    Okay. Head to the Start menu and choose the *Control Panel* and when it comes up choose *Hardware and Sound* from the list of options. Next choose *Change default settings for media or devices*. Scroll down to the bottom where you will find an entry for Apple iPod. Go ahead and change its action to "Take no Action." Any luck there?
    I'm not quite sure why iTunes isn't opening upon connection, but we'll see where we can take this. I would start with removing iTunes and re-installing again using these instructions.

  • ITunes does not open automatically when I connect my iPhone 4.

    Yes......I have checked off the necessary box on the "home page".
    iTunes DOES open when I connect my iPod.
    Any ideas?

    plug your phone into iTunes, check the box to prevent syncing, unplug the phone, plug it back in, then uncheck the box again, then disconnect and shut down iTunes, plug in your phone and it should automatically open

  • 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.
    Test.

  • 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.
