ITunes does not automatically synch when I dock iPhone

Ever since upgrading to OSX Lion, iTunes no longer functions like it used to.

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

  • ITunes does not start up when plugging in iPhone?

    I wonder how to get iTunes start up automatically when I plug my iPhone in to my MacBook. Right now, when I plug in my iPhone the iPhoto starts up instead. This is strange because I thought that iTunes should be the one starting up. Anyone knows how to fix this.

    I found this thread trying to figure out the opposite: disable iTunes from starting up every time I plugged in my iPhone. The UI flow doesn't make it obvious either way.
    If auto sync is disabled globally in itunes/settings/devices, the sync option in the summary pane/advanced section is unchecked and grayed out.
    So by checking the global disable option, iTunes will always automatcially start up (by not sync) when I plug in my iPhone regardless.
    By unchecking to "enable" automatic syncing (double negative UI options FTL), that enables the summary pane/advanced section where you can now uncheck the automatic sync option for the device, which will then also keep iTunes from popping up.
    Confused?

  • I had to reinstall itunes and now when I plug in my ipod itunes does not automatically come up so I can log in, how do I fix this?

    I had to reinstall itunes and now when I plug in my ipod itunes does not automatically open to my library or where I can access the itunes store.  What do I do now?

    Open iTunes and connect your iPod. Select your iPod in iTunes from the Source list. (I'm assuming this still works, although you didn't indicate if it did or didn't.) Make sure the box is checked to Open iTunes when this device is connected. You should be all set!

  • ITunes does not automaticly start on connecting iPhone.

    As above really, when i connect my iPhone 3G iTunes does not automaticly come up and sync the phone like it used to.
    I now have to connect the iPhone and them click on iTunes.
    Any ideas how to change this back, i've checked the iPhone settings in iTunes and 'Automaticlly sync when this iPhone is connected' is ticked.

    If you go into itunes preferences, click on devices - make sure that the disable automatic syncing for iphones and ipods is not ticked.

  • Itunes does not open. When I click on itunes it jumps ones and does not open in macbookpro

    itunes does not open. When I click on itunes it jumps ones and does not open in macbookpro.NEED AN ANSWER NOW!!!

    Hey sebasac,
    Thanks for the question. I understand you are experiencing issues with iTunes on a Mac. Let’s see if we can isolate this issue by starting iTunes in safe mode:
    iTunes: Troubleshooting issues with third-party iTunes plug-ins
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3430
    There are several ways in which an add-on can cause iTunes to act erratically, such as those listed below:
    - Loss of iTunes functionality, such as the Visualizer.
    - Distortion or irregularity in the iTunes interface.
    - Slow performance.
    - iTunes won't open or quits unexpectedly.
    - You see an alert while syncing stating "... cannot be synced. A duplicate file name was specified."
    If you notice any of the above symptoms or other unusual behavior, you can disable any plug-ins not manufactured by Apple by opening iTunes in Safe Mode. This is done by holding down the Option and Command keys (on Mac OS X) or holding down the Shift and Control keys (on Windows) while opening iTunes. If performed correctly, you should see the following dialog before iTunes finishes starting up:
    "iTunes is running in Safe Mode. Visual plug-ins you have installed have been temporarily disabled."
    If the above does not resolve your issue, I’d like to isolate further by testing in another user account:
    Isolating an issue by using another user account
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS4053
    Symptoms
    When isolating issues and/or troubleshooting software issues in OS X, you might want to use a different user account. Learn how to use this technique to narrow down the cause of an issue.
    Resolution
    The issue at hand may simply be caused by a bad preference setting or user-specific data file. With proper isolation, you can avoid time-consuming and inappropriate troubleshooting methods.
    Thanks,
    Matt M.

  • I changed from i iphone 5 back to a iphone 4.. now my itunes does not recognise that i have a iphone 4! how do i convert my last back up (on iphone 5) to my new iphone 4?

    i changed from i iphone 5 back to a iphone 4.. now my itunes does not recognise that i have a iphone 4! how do i convert my last back up (on iphone 5) to my new iphone 4?

    In your case you can only restore from a backup that has been created with the same iOS version. An iPhone 4 can only run 7.1.2, and, unless your iPhone 5 did not run the same version, you can't use a newer iOS backup of the 5 on the iPhone 4

  • ITunes does not turn on when iPhone attached.

    I know I'll feel stupid after somebody gives me the answer to this. But, what the heck, if I don't ask I won't get. So here it goes: My iTunes does not turn on automatically when I attach my iPhone to my Mac. I have to open the application manually. Is there a setting to make it come on when I attache my iphone?

    Yes, there is a setting to make it happen. Connect your iPhone to your Mac, and click on it in the iTunes column so it shows the iPhone information. Click on Summary, got to the bottom of that page, under Options, and check the box that says "Automatically sync when this iPhone is connected".
    P.S. I know how you feel. I think I have posted about a dozen questions that I have ended up answering myself the next day when I wake up and think about the problem again.

  • Adobe does NOT automatically open when attachments are 'clicked'

    Thanks for reading this post.  When openning a PDF file attachment within an email or a link from a website, Adobe does not automatically launch to view the documents.  In fact, the file conversion screen pops up instead when I select the 'open' tab from the attachment.  When I click the 'save' option, the save file type only includes HTLM and ALL Files..... this is odd why PDF is not a save type option.   Anyway, any assistance to alievate this problem will be helpful. This is very frustration.... I was also wondering if this could be my Norton 360 that is causing these problems....

    Bill was suggesting an alternative approach, making this the default setting in distiller. This is a preference settings in Distiller. I don't have Acrobat 9 on my Windows machine, but this is what is looks like on the Mac:
    You want to check the View PDF when using Distiller Check box.

  • ITunes does not recognize ipad when connected

    When I connect my iPad to the computer, iTunes does not recognize the iPad.  I have had the iPad for several months now and have not had the issue.  I checked the cable with the charger and that works fine.  Went through what Apple suggested to no avail.  Any ideas?

    Did you try the steps contained in the attached link?  http://www.apple.com/support/ipad/assistant/itunes/

  • Slave does not automatically authenticate when master is down

    We are running MFA in a dual server master-slave configuration. When the master MFA server is down the slave does not automatically take over. You have to open the GUI and promote the slave server to master to get it working again. I expected the slave to
    authenticate without administrator intervention. Is this by design? We are running latest version 6.3.1.1. 
    In this thread
    https://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/sqlserver/en-US/86efa99d-361c-4f83-bfba-fd75b4505590/azure-mfa-server-replication-and-failover?forum=windowsazureactiveauthentication
    someone mentions the same problem. The reply goes as follows:
    "Regardless of the UI, if an authentication request is sent to the slave, it will process it"
    If the master server is offline, it does not.
    it is also mentioned that
    "One option for HA is to point at one MFA Server as a primary authentication target and another as
    a backup authentication target"
    Where? I cannot find this option anywhere in the MFA interface. Thanks in advance.

    Hi Sadiqh,
    thanks for your reply! I had already dug through the link you gave me. For your information: we are using MFA to secure a sharepoint site via IIS. I understand about the 'no updates without the master' thing but in the link it is also said:
    "A slave can process authentication whether the master is up or not"
    It can, but you have to promote it to master manually. It does not process authentication requests from remote users on its own.
    "The slave will only do work when the master is offline"
    What work? It appears to not include authentication request from remote users. At least, not automatically. You have to promote it to master first.
    Finally, it is being said:
    "The on-premises Azure MFA Servers don’t do any kind of failover on its own"
    So, if I am understanding this right you WILL HAVE to promote the slave server to master manually when the master is offline. I am wondering if I can use the MFA API to write a custom script which checks if the master server is offline or not and promote
    to master if needed. If so, I would expect this functionality to be already there with MFA itself. What's the purpose of an MFA cluster if it requires manual user intervention for failover?
    Edit: I am now looking into the powershell module obtainable at http://azure.microsoft.com/en-us/downloads/ but
    none of the commandlets seem to support managing the multi factor auth providers via powershell.
    Also, the Azure AD module obtainable at https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/azure/jj151815.aspx seems to be focused at user administration and no support
    for Multi-Factor Auth providers.
    Also, the command line tool obtainable athttp://azure.microsoft.com/en-us/documentation/articles/xplat-cli/ also does not seem to have support for managing multi factor auth providers.
    Any ideas/suggestions?
