Itunes does not start when iphone connected

i have recently purchased new pc running windows 8.1. i have installed and used itunes with no problems until today.
itunes doesn't open when iphone is connected and doesn't recognise the device after itunes update and restart.
Any suggestions how to rectify this please?

Hey slider53,
Thanks for the question. After reviewing your post, it sounds like iTunes wont launch. I would recommend that you read this article, it may be able to help you resolve or isolate the issue.

  • 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.

  • ITunes does not start when I connect iPad

    Until about a month ago, everything worked perfectly. When I connected my iPad to my MacBook Pro, iTunes started automatically and then started the sync with my iPad, just as I had set it to do. About a month ago, however, iTunes would not start automatically. I have to manually start iTunes. Once I do, then everything syncs normally, no problem. I have checked, and the check box in iTunes is checked "Open iTunes when this iPad is connected." I tried a general reset of the settings on my iPad. Nothing changed. iTunes says it is the most current version (I just checked) and my iPad says it has the latest available iOS version.
    Any suggestions? I can live with this like it is, but if there is a problem, I'd like to correct it before iOS 5 comes out.

    Thanks to all who replied. It turns out that, as you suggested, for some reason the iTunes Helper applet wasn't there. Did a reinstall, and now all works fine. So now I know that if I never have this problem again, that will be my first stop.
    As for the other suggested that were made, these are all great suggestions and these are steps I had already taken in troubleshooting the problem. I didn't mention that, so I am glad to have this documented if anyone one else does a search and is looking for an answer. By all means, be sure you do what the other folks said first, and if they don't work, then go for the iTunes Helper applet. That did it for me.

  • TS1363 iTunes does not start when I connect iTouch by USB.

    This is on Windows 7.  It did connect on Vista before upgrade.  Sync occurs if I start iTunes manually.  iTouch does appear in both iTunes and Windows Explorer.  How fix?

  • ITunes does not open when ipod connected

    Since installing the 1.1 update, iTunes does not open when I connect my nano to the computer. Both computer and iTunes (when I manually open it) recognize the nano, so no big deal. Just wondering how to make iTunes automatically open.

    Sometimes the Preferences get corrupt - if you set them off and then back on that sometimes clears the problem.

  • 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.

    Reinstall iTunes 9. If that doesn't work, restart AMDS:

  • Why my itunes does not launch when i connect my iphone to my mac air?

    why does my iTunes not open automatically when i connect my iphone to my Mac Air?

    OK ... I'm going to answer my own question.  I checked the box in iTunes PREFS "Prevent iPods, iPhones, and iPads from syncing automatically" then went back to the DEVICES screen, iPhone summary, then unplugged the iPhone, and then back to iTunes PREFS and re-checked that box, then quit iTunes.  Then I plugged the iPhone back into the computer and Voila!  iTunes opens and syncs!  Why?  Who knows?
    This did NOT SOLVE the problem of wireless backup ... still not working ... whether iTunes is open or not.

    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:

  • My iphone4s does not turn on,when I connect to power ,it shows the message "connect to itunes" but when I connect to iTunes,my pc does not detect my phone,so iTunes does not detect my iPhone.

    My iphone4s does not turn on,when I connect to power ,it shows the message "connect to itunes" but when I connect to iTunes,my pc does not detect my phone,so iTunes does not detect my iPhone.

    Are you running the most recent version of iTunes for Windows on your PC?  You may be running an older version that is incompatible with the 4s.
    Hope this helps
