ITunes doesn't always connect when I synch

I think I have the proper settings to accommodate this task. 

When I synch the iphone to the macbook pro, itunes doesn't open automatically everytime.  I have to open it sometimes.
I have the settings adjusted for iTunes to open automatically.

  • 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.

  • Updated Ipod to ios 6 now apps close without warning and seems really slow also wifi doesn't always connect

    Updated my ipod touch to ios6 now apps close without warning and seems really slow to repsond. Also doesn't always connect to the Wifi never had any problems before upgrade

    Try a hard reboot (hold home and power buttons down at the same time until your iPod reboots). If that doesn't work, do a restore in iTunes and do not restore from backup. You wqill lose your game data and settings, but your iPod should run better and work properly.

  • My track pad on my air doesn't always respond when using firefox and trying to scroll up or down in the page

    when in firefox my track pad doesn't always respond when I want to use fingers to scroll up or down in the screen...any thoughts?

    it is possible that zoom maybe enabled i think double taping with three fingers should disable it.
    or you can go into settings>general> assessability> zoom and turn it off.
    hope this helps

  • ITunes doesn't find Airtunes when connected with cable, only WiFi

    I have an Apple TV with Airtunes enabled. But apparantly, it's not possible to connect to it from PC's who are connected to LAN with cable instead of WiFI? Does anyone know why?
    More details:
    I have 3 PC's:
    PC 1: , Windows 7 64-bit with iTunes 9.1.1.12 (latest)
    Stationary, connected to LAN using cable in a Gigabit switch
    PC 2: 100% fresh install of Windows 7 32-bit and iTunes 9.1.1.12
    Stationary, connected to LAN using cable in a Gigabit switch
    PC 3: Win 7 32-bit with iTunes 9.1.1.12
    Netbook - connected through WiFi
    Apple TV device (latest firmware) is connected to same LAN using cable as well. *All PC's can ping the Apple TV without problems.*
    So the problem is that iTunes doesn't find the Airtunes device (the output dropdown selector doesn't show up). I first tried on my main PC (PC1). It didn't work, so i tested on PC2 (wich is a fresh install of both OS and iTunes!), but same problem there.
    But then the weird thing happened. I tried to install on my netbook, and it worked! Only difference is that the netbook was connected through WiFi. I don't see why that would matter, but just for fun i tested to disconnect WiFi, and connect with cable and boom - airtunes selection dissappeared! As soon as I disconnected the cable and reconnected WiFi, it appeared again.
    Why on earth would Airtunes only work on WiFi? As you can see on this screenshot, network configuration is equal on Wifi and cabled connection. (Apple TV has IP 10.0.1.30)

    It's supposed to be able to cope with slightly different file & folder structures, missing track numbers, all tracks in just an artist folder, everything in Unknown Artist\Unknown Album etc. Details here. Can you give me an idea of how things are set out? Maybe it needs a little tweak to cope with the way you've done things, or we could use something like MediaMonkey to reorganize what you have into something the script can work with.
    I'm going to be out for much of the day but I'll look in on this thread later.

  • Itunes doesn t open automatically when iphone 4 is plugged

    hi guys....still have this stupid problem....my itunes10 doesn t open automatically when my iphone4(5.0.1)is plugged even if the box(open itunes when iphone is connected is "on")........tried everything but still not working.......what should i do??should i delete itunes and downloaded again??
    thanks

    Hey Alexander,
    Has iTunes Helper been removed from the login items? Go to System Preferences> Accounts> Login Items.
    You can add it again manually as described here: http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1610692
    you can also get it back by downloading and reinstalling the latest version of iTunes.

  • Doesn't always connect to internet. Why?

    My internet connection is DSL through Comcast. I just set up Airport Express. I can always connect directly to my network, and the Internet Connect window shows my status as being connected via PPPoE, but when I go to start Firefox it takes several attempts to actually get to the internet. Sometimes an error message shows up concerning the PPPoE, but it doesn't make any sense. I usually end up fiddling with everything until somethig triggers the internet to start up. Does anyone know what's going on? I should be able to start Firefox up right away!
    PowerBook G4 15"   Mac OS X (10.3.9)  

    To update, my connection is SBC (not Comcast) and the error message that sometimes pops up is "No PPPoE server has been found for the specified service. Please delete the service name option and try again." I followed those instructions and deleted the service name option, but the error message still pops up when I the internet doesn't connect.
    Any help please! Thanks.

  • ITunes doesn't launch automatically when iPhone is connected

    This used to work fine...I'd attached my iPhone 3GS to my MacBook via USB, iTunes would automatically launch and begin synching my iPhone. Then (I'm not exactly sure what happened...perhaps it was an update, or a spate of time when I was travelling and using a spotty wireless connection, I'm not sure), but for several weeks now, iTunes no longer autolaunches and synchs when I connect the iPhone.
    I did some tests:
    iTunes does autolaunch when I connect my iPod Classic.
    I can open iTunes manually, and iTunes sees my iPhone and syncs it automatically.
    When I connect my iPhone, iPhoto does come up automatically if I have photos to sync.
    The iPhone makes it's happy little connection sound when attached to the laptop via USB and still charges.
    Under iTunes Preferences, Devices, I still have "Prevent iPods, iPhones and iPads from synching automatically" unchecked.
    So the only thing I can see that is not working here is autolaunch of iTunes via iPhone.
    I have iTunes 10.4(80)
    iPhone 4.3.5
    Mac OS 10.6.8
    Any ideas?

    I’ve found another solution for those where this doesn’t resolve it.
    From user Crosbie at MacForums.com
    You can extract iTunes Helper from the iTunes package, if you like, to replace the absent one.
    It can be found by right-clicking the iTunes app and choosing 'Show Package Contents'; then navigate down to the 'MacOS' folder. You can then drag it to your open 'login items' window.

  • Itunes doesn't open automatically when my iphone is connected anymore

    I have an iphone 4s and it used to open iphoto and itunes automatically when i plugged it in with a usb cord. now it doesn't do either. i got iphoto to open, but am still having issues with itunes. i have tried all the obvious: checking and unchecking the preferences and summary settings that indicate to automatically sync and open when connected. nothing is working. any suggestions

    In iTunes click on your phone under "Devices" on the left of the screen > "Summary" tab > Options: "Open iTunes when this iPhone is connected".

  • ITunes doesn't start automatically when ipod is connected.

    Even though I have clicked on the place that says itunes will start automatically when iPod is connected to pc, it doesn't. I have to click on iTunes everytime, and then it takes a while to run.
    Anyone have any ideas what might be the problem?

    hi joyful!
    just checking. reboot the PC, and prior to launching itunes or plugging in the ipod, bring up your Task Manager to the "processes" tab.
    is there an iTunesHelper.exe running in your processes?

I appreciate any and all help with this problem, and definately open for suggetions. Thanks again. Cynthia

    Try:                                               
    - iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
    - Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
    How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
    - If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
    - Try another cable       
    - Try on another computer                            
    - If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.
