Itunes does not start automatically when I plug in my iPhone. When I start it manually, it never recognizes the phone although it does ask if I want to download pictures etc. Many albums have no art work that use to. iTunes completely unresponsive to the mouse.

Hi billm1013,
I'm sorry to hear you are having these issues with your iPhone. If your iPhone isn't being recognized in iTunes, and/or iTunes isn't responding to your mouse when the iPhone is connected, you may find the troubleshooting steps outlined in the following article helpful:

I've done all of these, even trying a different USB port, and still, nothing. This is really confusing. Windows 8.1 said something to do with USB malfunction or something and nothing works. I need to restore my iPhone quickly and nothing has happened. My cable is not genuine Apple product. iTunes makes the noise that it makes when I connect the device, but it doesn't say 'iPhone is in recovery mode' or even say 'iPhone' in the corner. I am really fed up and would really appreciate a response.
Thanks,
Nathan.

I just got the iPhone 5s about a month ago, i decided to turn it off because some of the apps weren't working right, and now it will not turn back on. It says i need to plug it in to iTunes, but my iTunes will not recognize my phone. What do i do?

I just got the iPhone 5s the Friday it came out. So today i decided to turn it off because some of the apps are not working. Now that i turned it off, it will not let me turn my phone back on until i plug it into iTunes. But i have and now its saying that until my iPhone is restored i can not plug it into iTunes. I already have . alot of stuff such as picture and contacts that i do not want to lose. What is going on and what can i do? This is honestly the most frusterating thing about IPHONEs. PLEASE HELP, I CAN'T HANDLE MUCH MORE. This should not be happening. I did NOT pay 300$ for this to happen in a less than a month of coming out.

Make sure you have the Latest Version of iTunes (v11) Installed on your computer
iTunes free download from www.itunes.com/download

ITunes will not recognize my ipod in the computer.

I don't know why iTunes won't recognize my iPod...

Try a reset of the device by pressing and holding the home and power buttons for 15-20 seconds until the white Apple logo appears.

Why does iTunes no longer open automatically when iPad is connected?

Why does iTunes no longer open automatically when iPad is connected? and iPhone as well? Setting to "auto open" is selected, but iTunes will not open automatically. Problem seems to have begun with upgrade to Lion.

Good luck getting an answer...I posted the same question a day ago. I can only assume it's a glitch in iTunes 10.5.

Hi I do not want iTunes to open up automatically when I turn on my macbook pro. I tried going to System Preferences Users and Groups Login Items and then I took iTunes off the list but it still opens up automatically when I turn on my laptop.

Hi r,
Make sure you close iTunes before shutdown. And you're quite welcome.

How do I sync my iPhone 5 to my new PC? iTunes will not recognize it even when plugged in the USB port. Settings General iTunes wifi sync is still my old laptop. Any help is appreciated.

My ipod classic turns on with apple logo then shuts off about 30 seconds later, when plugged in my windows and itunes will not recognize it.

earlier my itunes told me that my files were corrupted and I needed to restore, so I did. In the middle of the restore I lost internet connection. Now my computer and Itunes will not recognize my Ipod and if it is not plugged in when I turn the Ipod on it only shows the apple logo then shuts off after 30 seconds. If it is plugged in it will charge, but Itunes and Windows will not recognize it. I have tried the menu + select shutoff multiple times with no change. All it will say while it is charging is do not disconnect.

The clicking sound is your iPod Hardisk, trying to retract and find the boot sector unsuccesfully.
Hopefully, you can do the iPod Disk Diagnostic as in this great post by tt2., it wont fix your problem, but let you know, how dire is your Hardisk health.
So only as a last resort, one way, to get the stuck Hardisk head free, is to bang the iPod on a rubber mouse pad, when you reset it, but do it at your own risk, some very lucky guys got it working again for the next 14 months, like myself.

Itunes will not recognize when i plug in my ipone 5

not sure what is going on. when i updated to the new ios 6.1.3 my itunes will not recognize that i have plugged my phone in

So you connect the iPod containing a hard drive. I would guess you are using USB, right? Then Windows opens a window (wow, that's repetative) that identifies this as a USB hard drive.
Am I close?
It sounds like you've told the iPod to act in Disk Mode. On the same preferences pane that you are telling iTunes to open, uncheck the box for enable disk mode. the mini should stop telling your computer it is a hard drive.

My phone crashed and has an icon showing a usb cable and the itunes emblem. when I connect to itunes it does not recognize my phone and treats it as just iphone. when I try to restore about 9 to 10 minutes into the restore the phone turns off and then on

Be prepared to lose everything on your iPhone but it should be backed up in iTunes so you can restore from your backup.
Try Recovery Mode... http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1808

But to Stop Launch when your apple device is connected, 1. connect your iPhoneto your computer, 2.Go to the Summary Page, 3. uncheck the box "Open iTunes when this iPhone is connected" and then your good for that device.

Try placing the iPodin recovery mode and then try to restore the iPod via iTunes on your computer. For recovery mode see:
iPhone and iPod touch: Unable to update or restore
Next would be to make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since you likely have a hardware problem.

HT1209 I've successfully imported the videos I've shot with my iphone5 into iphoto on my MacBookPro but they're only showing up as still shots, ie the imported videos don't play! Itunes no longer opens automatically when syncing!

I've successfully imported the videos I've shot with my iphone5 into iphoto on my MacBookPro but they're only showing up as still shots, ie the imported videos don't play! Itunes no longer opens automatically when syncing, and when I open itunes it shows that there are zero "home movies" in there, meaning that it never grabbed the videos from my phone either. What to do? Thanks!

tl:dr?
Really?
There was a short version expressly for people who weren't bothered to read a myriad of text.
Meh, not that it matters anymore. I ended up redownloading 70-odd albums, so I have the bulk of my music back. And I still have no idea what iTunes did with my files, but I'll make sure it never does it again.
I would thank you for the help but you were utterly useless. Oh well, carry on.

ITunes doesn't lauch automaticly when iPod connected

Hi,
iTunes doesn't launch automaticly when my I connect iPod touch 2nd gen.
Sincerely.

Here's what I did when iTunes started to not open automatically when I connect my iPod touch to the Universal Dock. With the iPod connected, I unchecked "Open iTunes automatically" and "Apply", then I checked "Open iTunes automatically" again. iTunes asked me if I wanted to install "iTunesHelper.app" and I clicked "Yes". No problems with any of my iPods since.
Make sure iTunesHelper.app is active on launch in System Preferences > Accounts.
