ITunes automatic launch when iPhone connected

I suddenly have a new problem, and am uncertain as to what I did. When I plug my iPhone into my MacBook, in the past, iTune automatically launched and recognized my phone. Does not do that anymore.
I upgraded to Leopard. Any thoughts?
Thanks,

Howdy-
Make sure, on your iPhone's screen in iTunes, that "Open iTunes when this iPhone is connected" is checked.
I am seeing the same thing. I have to manually launch iTunes on my Mac Pro.
i like , are you referring to the checkbox in iTunes on the Mac/PC that actually reads, "Automatically sync when iPhone is connected" or a screen on the iPhone?
I have the above box checked yet iTunes still fails to open when I plug in my iPhone.
Any ideas?

ITunes no longer launches when iPhone connected

Hello all:
My ITunes no longer launches automatically when I connect my IPhone.
IPhoto does, but not ITunes. However, once I open it, it connects with my phone and syncs it without an issue.
I just want it to auto-launch for syncing.
I've read a few posts about this, but have not seen a clear answer yet.
The following settings on my phone and laptop are correct (I think):
--ITunes>iPhone>Summary>"Automatically sync when this iPhone is connected" checked
--ITunes>Preferences>Devices>"Disable automatic syncing for iPhone and iPods" is unchecked
I noted in one previous post about this that someone mentioned the necessity of having "ITunes Helper" installed in your Login Items, in your Account prefs, in order to have ITunes auto-launch when the iPhone is connected. I do NOT have this app, nor can I find it anywhere on my computer.
Is this the problem? If so, is ITunes Helper available somewhere?
Hoping for an answer; I've noticed that a lot of posts on this subject have not gotten responses, and wondering why.

Find iTunes in your applications folder. Right-click (control-click) on iTunes and select "Show package contents". Look in the "Resources folder" for iTunes helper. Drag it into your Accounts -> Login items list. Restart your Mac.

How to stop iTunes from launching when iPhone is connected?

I have the "Disable automatic syncing for all iPhones and iPods" checked in my Windows version if iTunes. But when I try to charge my iPhone, it still comes up. Is there any way to disable this. Windows also detects a camera device. I do all my iPhone stuff at home on my Mac, but at work I have a PC and I want to be able to charge my phone using the USB cable. But I don't want iTunes to launch or the PC to detect the camera device. Any ideas or suggestions?
Thanks

SteveFLHTCI:
Here's what I did using Windows Vista Home Premium. First, when I connected my iPhone, an AutoPlay dialog box popped up asking me what I wanted to do. Towards the bottom, there was some blue text that stated "Set AutoPlay defaults in Control Panel" and I clicked on it. When the Control Panel AutoPlay applet opened up, I scrolled down towards the bottom and found a list of devices which included "Apple iPhone." From there, I selected "Take No Action" from the drop-down list and have lived happily ever after.
Hope that helped. Good luck.

ITunes 8 - Win: STOP iTunes from launching when I connect iPhone???

Hello,
I have searched around a lot and have seen various responses to this question, but cannot seem to find a definitive way to stop iTunes from launching every time I connect my iPhone 3G.
If this is possible, can someone please provide specific instructions on how to do this?
Windows Vista - iPhone 3G - iTunes 8
Thank you!

Google is your friend, Chad.
Found this link: http://forums.macosxhints.com/showthread.php?p=513358 with some info excerpted below.
"+However, there is a workaround solution:+
+Allowing auto-syncing for all devices in Preferences, and then turning automatic syncing off for the device in Summary, corrects the problem and prevents iTunes from auto-launching when the device is connected.+"
It may be Mac specific, but maybe not. Try it out. If not, continue to Google for "Disable iTunes Auto Launch (or auto start).
Best of Luck

Stop Itunes from automatically opening when IPhone connected to computer

Using IPhone 3G with Windows XP Pro (both with latest updates)
When I connect IPhone 3g to the usb cable to computer, ITunes always automatically opens. This is a waste, if I am only charging the IPhone. Is there a way to make ITunes not open automatically when IPhone is connected
Thanks
Bob

Hi Guys..
Had the same problem..
And now its got solved!! :-D
Leaving both "iTunes > Preferences > Syncing > Disable automatic syncing for all.." AND "Automatically sync when this iPhone is connected" on the summary page, UNCHECKED, solved the issue for me.
Do give it a try..
Cheers!
Bye.

Help, iTunes refuses to not auto launch when iPhone connected to computer

Hi, anyone else have this obnoxious problem? I unchecked "auto syncing" and all of the possible disabling options in iTunes>Preferences. Another forum I visted mentioned disabling iTunes Helper. I am having a problem launching iTunes Helper because I did a search from the main Windows Start area (lower left of computer screen), and iTunes Helper does show up with a .exe extension showing it's an application. However, when I click on it, it just disappears. It's also not listed in "My Programs" or when I run "msconfig". Is finding iTunes Helper so I can disable it what I need here to keep iTunes from auto launching when the iPhone is connected, or is my solution in doing something else? I'm using iTunes 9.0.25 Any solid help here is much appreciated!

I don't have an iPhone but I imagine it is probably similar to using an iPod. When I connect the iPod to the computer and it shows up in iTunes under devices, click on the device (iPhone), in the device screen that appears there is an options section that has a check-box "Open iTunes when this iPod is connected." Un-check it.

Why won't iTunes automatically open when I connect my iPhone 6

iTunes is set to open when I connect my phone but will not do so. I have to physically go to the program and open it each time I connect my phone. This also happens when I connect my iPad mini. This began when I upgraded to the iPhone 6. Before upgrading I did not have this problem.

Hey there Ray_J,
I understand that you want iTunes to be opening every time you connect your phone to your computer. You may wish to adjust this setting in your iTunes preferences to affect this behavior:
Prevent iPods, iPhones, and iPads from syncing automatically
Prevent devices from automatically syncing with this iTunes library when a device is connected. To sync a device, click the Sync button when the device is connected.
iTunes 12 for Mac: iTunes Devices preferences
https://support.apple.com/kb/PH19595
If this is unchecked, iTunes will open automatically when you connect an iOS device. Thanks for being a part of the Apple Support Communities!
Cheers,
Braden

ITunes no longer launches when IPhone connected - Windows PC

whenever i connect my iPhone to my PC, iTunes never launches.
How do i repair this? or Can it even be repaired?
i saw a Thread Fix for the MAC on here.. but not for the PC.
Thanks, ThunderBoyDavid

Hi,
If you manually open iTunes, is the iphone found and listed under Devices?
If it doesn't show up at all, it could be that the iphone driver has corrupted.
It's been a while since I have a look in an XP machine but from memory;
With the phone plugged in, goto Control Panel > System > Device Manager > Hardware
You should find two apple drivers I think under Portable Devices -
Apple iPhone: which is the driver for connecting to iTunes and
Apple Mobile Device USB Driver: this connects the camera
Does the 1st driver have an yellow exclamation indicating that it is not installed correctly? If it does, delete it and then search from new devices again and the phone should be found again and reinstalled.
If this doesn't work, it probably quickest to uninstall iTunes and re-install it following this method

Hope this helps

Itunes wont open when iphone connected to mac, please help?!

i updated my iphone 4s and tried connecting it to my mac but itunes wont open at all, so i updated mac software as well as itunes, and itunes still won't open up when i connect my phone.
P.S. iv'e already tried taking the USB cord out and plugging it back in twice already... still wont open.

Launch the Console application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad and start typing the name.
The title of the Console window should be All Messages. If it isn't, select
SYSTEM LOG QUERIES ▹ All Messages
from the log list on the left. If you don't see that list, select
View ▹ Show Log List
from the menu bar at the top of the screen.
Click the Clear Display icon in the toolbar. Then take the action that isn't working the way you expect. Select any messages that appear in the Console window. Copy them to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. Paste into a reply to this message by pressing command-V.

ITunes suddenly freezes when iPhone connected

I'm running the latest MAC os X, iTunes on a power mac G5 and all of a sudden, whenever i connect the iPhone, i get the beachball and activity monitor tells me itunes is not responding. I disconnected phone and changed the setting in iTunes to NOT automatically sync when connected, but even then as soon as i plug it in, iTunes says it's "verifying" the phone...the phone says "Sync in Progress" and everything is hung... Any help would be so appreciated, I've looked in the forum and have not found this exact problem... Thanks.

I never had any postcards on the iphone, only on the ipod. Deleted all. Removed iTunes completely. Deleted library. Installed iTunes again. Works fine (well, in apple terms) till the iPhone gets connected. Then it freezes.
Another question, if anyone knows, do the garbage-makers Apple provide any direct support, or is it all through I-have-the-same-problem-too boards where one can (possibly) get any clues what the problem is?
thanks,

ITunes not Starting when iPhone connected

I just got an iPhone 3G and installed iTunes 9.0.
When I connect my iPhone to sync, iTunes does not start. I get the box:
Camera connected
Select the program to launch for this actiona
Canon CameraWindow
Microsoft Scanner and Camera Wizard
If I manually start iTunes, I can see my iPhone but no Music or Movie subfolders under the device. And I can't drag any music from my library to the iPhone.
Is there a conflict with my camera software or should it just work this way? I tried to uninstall all camera software but without success.
I have gotten some music on the iPhone from syncing, but not all that I want.
Thanks for the help.

2. How do I exit out of the import screen without quitting LR entirely and restarting?

#1 -- Edit > Preferences > General > Import Options > UNCHECK the first option, Show import dialog when a memory card is detected.
#2 -- Click the Cancel button in the lower right corner OR press Esc.

Any way for iPhoto to NOT launch when iPhone connected?

Hey gang-
Is there any way to configure iPhoto to NOT launch every time my iPhone is connected to my iMac? I understand why it does it- because there are photos on my iPhone Camera roll- I get it. But I would love for it to NOT launch iPhoto every time. I know I can use Image Capture to tell iPhoto not to launch for ANY camera, but that's overkill. I just want iPhoto to not launch when my iPhone is connected. Is there maybe an app or a terminal command that could configure that?
Thanks!

Sure. Go to preferences and select do nothing when a camera is attached.
This is the way to do this. As you know, it will not open for any camera.
These are your choices. Sorry.
Thanks- at least I know I wasn't missing something.
Okay- how about this? Is there an app that would enable me to move my photos off my Camera Roll and organize them separately? That might solve the problem of iPhoto seeing them.
Thanks!
Dave
