ITunes does not fire up after connecting iPod

Hi ,
I have an iPod touch 8Gb with software update 3.0 . After I connect the iPod to my mac , iTunes does not start even though the option for doing so is checked. The iPod does appear in iTunes in the "Devices" section after maunally opening iTunes , syncs and works without problems... I have reset preferences for both iTunes and iPod .
has anyone encountered this issue?
Thanks

Also tried launching in iTunes safe mode. Window came up stating opening in safe mode but, iTunes did not open.

ITunes does not recognize my first generation iPod Shuffle

iTunes does not recognize my first generation iPod Shuffle (512MB). Windows 7 sees the iPod as an empty external drive although the iPod has music on it. The iPod plays the music fine. iTunes does recognize a similar first generation iPod Shuffle.
What can be wrong with the iPod Shuffle? How can I fix?
Thanks,I

ITunes does not recognize 5th Generation video iPod in WinXp

PROBLEM: 5G iPod not recognized in iTunes (shows as removable hard drive in My Computer) via USB on HP Pavilion Notebook running WinXP. Latest error states insufficient power to run hi speed USB device on this computer. HP support replies that installed USB should comply to 480 Mbps hi speed standard. Trying to connect iPod via firewire results in "iPod can not be connected with firewire" error. Have tried the following steps before reaching this point:
Description of iPod: 5G, 30 gig video iPod model MA002LL contains 1.2 gig data (282 songs, 4 videos, 0 pictures)
Action: 5G iPod worked fine until connected to download purchased music 3 weeks ago.
Result: iPod screen shows "Do not disconnect" iTunes does not recognize iPod.
Action: Reset iPod (iPod works fine when not connected to any computer).
Result: same as above
Action: Recharged iPod overnight with wall outlet to confirm full charge.
Result: same as above
Action: Tried to run iPod Updater but iPod was not recognized by Updater (it does recognize iPod Mini and 4G)
Result: same as above
Action: Reinstalled latest version of iTunes.
Result: same as above
Action: Reinstalled COM interface for IPod Service several times.
Result: same as above
Action: Ran repair maintenance on iTunes (repair successful).
Result: same as above
Action: Uninstalled iTunes and iPod software, deleted their folders and bin files and cleaned out Temp directory, disabled virus protection and disconnected from network. Ran Windows Installer Cleanup Utility. (Uninstall successful)
Result: same as above
Action: Restarted and reinstalled iTunes and iPod Updater
Result: same as above
Action: Diasabled all non critical items in start menu
Result: same as above
Action: Uninstalled all three USB controllers
Result: same as above
Action: Reinstalled USBs
Result: same as above
Action: Tried to connect by firewire
Result: Error this device cannot be connected by IEEEE use USB cable.
Action: Talked to HP support to confirm USB standards on Pavilion Notebook.
Result: USB should read all 3 standard data speeds up to hi speed 480 MBps
Action: Tried 5G iPod on 2 other PC desktops with WinXP with powered USB 2.0 ports
Result: iPod shows "Do not disconnect" iTunes does not recognize iPod and both computers respond with the following error (which is not received on the notebook) "insufficient power to run hi speed USB device on this computer" both Desktops are older than the Notebook and have older versions of USB 2.0.
Action: Tried it on my iMac G4 thinking I could reformat it. Mac understandably does not read it as a drive. I tried the following three connections:
1) Firewire connection: iPod screen shows: firewire connection is not supported; 2) Powered USB port connection: drive is not recognized by Mac and iPod screen shows do not disconnect; 3) Unpowered USB port connection returns an error of "USB Low power notice" on Mac monitor and iPod screen shows menu but won't connect to Mac.
QUESTIONS:
Has the 5G iPod reached a point where it now pulls too much power to be read by USB? Is HP not giving me correct specs regarding the performance of the Notebook's USB? Why can I update my iPods with firewire on my Mac but not the PC? Any suggestions regarding what I should try next?
Thanks.
HP Pavilion dv notebook Windows XP

Solution was found: HP was encountering a conflict with a trial version of Symantec Security Center and Norton Anti-Virus causing an incomplete install of iTunes.
The following actions resolved the problem. Uninstalled both Symantec applications, uninstalled QuickTime 6*, installed QuickTime 7.1.3 (iTunes would not install successfully prior to this step, seems redundant but worked), installed iTunes 7.1 (with Quicktime 7.1.3 again), connected iPod 5G which was finally recognized, received error that iPod was currupted, restored iPod and is now working fine.
I hope that this helps someone else with similar video iPod problems.

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 iPhone connected.

When I connect my iPhone to my iMac, iTunes does not open. The iTunes option to open iTunes when this iPhone is connected is checked.
What is the name of the iTunes preference file that I can put in the trash to try to get this to work correctly?
Thank you.

Hello 51kFred,
Here is a resource that should help resolve the iPhone not showing in iTunes.

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/

Itunes does not start anymore after upgrade to 6.05.20

I upgraded itunes to the current version and after that itunes does not start anymore. I scanned for virus with an up-to-date scanner, scanned for adware with Windows defender and ewido and used the tips from http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=42963
I run itunes on Windows Server 2003 which worked fine for three years. I know it is officially supported on XP only.
I deinstalled itunes and reinstalled afterwards no change. The windows event log shows some erors
Faulting application iTunes.exe, version 6.0.5.20, faulting module shell32.dll, version 6.0.3790.2662, fault address 0x0015af84.
Any other idea?
Thanks
Christoph

ok, so I am not sure if this is legal or not, but there is a site called oldversion. Go there, and you can get past versions of applications such as aim , and in this case, itunes. just uninstall your other itunes first.
Sometimes different versions of appications run better on different computers. this new itunes probably just has something the last one didnt that cant run with what you have on your computer

Itunes does not open menu on connection with Iphone 5 windows 8

Upon connecting my iphone to my windows 8.1 (64bit) computer, Itunes does not open the Iphone interface. How can I sync or back-up the iphone.
Itunes recognizes the Iphone on the main menu but the menu for the Iphone does not come up. This is IOS 7.0.4.
Mpls

Have you tried clicking on the phone in the device section. It may not automatically select the iPhone. From iTunes, you can select the phone. The menu looks a little different in the newer versions of iTunes. Control + B will bring up the menu bar, Control + S will bring up the sidebar for you to select the phone.

ITunes does not recognize password after removal of corrupt backup file

I removed a corrupt backup file of my iPhone 4 from iTunes and now it does not recognize my password anymore. The password is correct, as I wrote it down when I set it up and have used it before. Any thoughts? This must be some kind of flaw in iTunes or iOS for iPhone.
iPhone 4, iOS 6.1.3

Thanks for the suggestion. I tried stopping and restarting Apple Mobile Services, Bonjour and iPod services but it had no effect. The problem still remains - everything works for all 3 iPhones immediately after reinstalling iTunes but none of them can connect with any of the USB cables after a reboot. This problem is still present as of upgrading to 10.6.3.25.
BTW, I do have other choices. I can become disenchanted with the product, use it less and less, then eventually migrate over to some competitor's product.
Cheers,
Chris.

ITunes does not recognize iPhone after reboot

Windows XP SP3, iTunes 10.6.1.7, iPhone 3g v.4.2.1
Running on a Windows XP machine, iTunes will not regonize any one of 3 iPhones plugged in to any one of 4 USB ports using any one of 3 different USB cables.
If I uninstall, then reinstall iTunes from its setup file, all the iPhones are recognized on any USB port with any cable and all can sync successfully with no errors.
But, if I reboot the machine, iTunes no longer sees any of the iPhones plugged in to any of the USB ports again even though they appear as devices under My Computer and you hear the normal two tones indicating successful device connection. The only way to have the iPhones appear in iTunes is to uninstall and reinstall iTunes again each time after the machine is rebooted.
Does anyone have a suggestion as to what could be causing this and how it can be fixed?
Thanks,
Chris.

ITunes does not recognize my 2nd generation iPod Touch.

The computer sees it but iTunes doesn't.
o iTunes diagnostics says no device is connected.
o I AM using the Apple-supplied cord.
o I've tried ALL the USB ports.
o I've stopped and restarted Apple support utlities then rebooted PC. (Multiple times)
o I've uninstalled and reinstalled iTunes. (Shut down PC after uninstall. Deleted Apple directory from AppData. Shut down PC agan. Downloaded iTunessetup then reinstalled.)
o Another iTunes (same version) PC recognizes my Touch and wants to sync it.
What's changed since the last successful sync?
o Updated Windows to 8.1.
o Updated iTunes to 11.1.3.8.
o I have disabled some irritating Dell run-in-background utilities. (The PC is a Dell Inspiron 14R.)
Short of buying a new iPod Touch, what do I need to do to get my Touch synced?
Thank you.

GOT IT!!!!!
The following steps worked for me:
1. Uninstall iTunes.
2. Uninstall Apple Application Support
3. Uninstall Apple Mobile Device Support.
4. Uninstall Apple Software Update
5. Uninstall Bonjour.
==> In summary, uninstall EVERYTHING Apple. (I left Quicktime installed as a gamble and won.)
6. Reboot PC.
7. Open Windows File Explorer and go to the C: drive.
8. Delete any folders with a name that includes "Apple" in Program Files.
9. Delete the Bonjour folder from Program Files.
10. Delete any folders with a name that includes "Apple" in Program Files (x86).
11. Delete the Bonjour folder from Program Files (x86).
12. Delete any folders with a name that includes "Apple" in ProgramData.
13. Delete any folders with a name that includes "Apple" in Users\username\AppData\Local.
14. Delete any folders with a name that includes "Apple" in Users\username\AppData\LocalLow.
15. Delete any folders with a name that includes "Apple" in Users\username\AppData\Roaming.
==> In summary, wander around the C: drive and delete any folders that have "Apple" in their name wherever you can find them. (There should be no folders with 'iTunes" in their name except possibly in Music. That can be left. So can all the folders named "iPod Photo Cache" in Pictures.)
16. Reboot PC.
17. Now that any known association with Apple has been removed from the PC, re-install iTunes. (Note: It may be necessary to re-authorize the PC for any content downloaded onto the iPod.)
