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.

  • 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?

  • ITunes does not start automatically when iPod is connected

    iTunes used to start automatically when I connected iTunes. It no longer does. Can I fix that?
    Dave

    Connect your iPod and open iTunes. Towards the bottom of the iPod screen, there are four check boxes. The top one says "Open iTunes when iPod is connected." Check that box and click apply. If it is checked, uncheck it and click apply, eject and reconnect your iPod, then recheck it and click apply.

  • Suddenly iTunes does not open automatically when I connect Ipod

    Hi,
    iTunes used to open automatically when I connect my Ipod but now it does not although I did not change anything to my system.
    In place of iTunes I now have the Windows 7 choice dialog in which iTunes does not appear.
    How come?

    Open iTunes when this iPod is connected: has always been checked
    I thought you said there was no such option above?
    and nothing else
    Okay. Head to the Start menu and choose the *Control Panel* and when it comes up choose *Hardware and Sound* from the list of options. Next choose *Change default settings for media or devices*. Scroll down to the bottom where you will find an entry for Apple iPod. Go ahead and change its action to "Take no Action." Any luck there?
    I'm not quite sure why iTunes isn't opening upon connection, but we'll see where we can take this. I would start with removing iTunes and re-installing again using these instructions.

    Assuming your iTunes is open, as the article you attached suggests, make sure you're running the latest version of iTunes, which is currently version 11.0.1.

    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.

  • ITunes isn't launching automatically when I connect iPhone

    I have the box checked off to launch automatically when I connect my iPhone, but it is not launching automatically.  I have to open up iTunes.

    From the iTunes menu bar click iTunes / Preferences then select the Devices tab.
    Deselect: Prevent iPods, iPhones, and iPads from syncing automatically
    Click OK.

  • 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.

    This solved the issue for me, where unchecking and re-checking didn’t.

  • 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 does not open automatically when I connect my iPhone 4.

    Yes......I have checked off the necessary box on the "home page".
    iTunes DOES open when I connect my iPod.
    Any ideas?

    plug your phone into iTunes, check the box to prevent syncing, unplug the phone, plug it back in, then uncheck the box again, then disconnect and shut down iTunes, plug in your phone and it should automatically open

  • ITune won't launch automatically when iPod attached

    I'm giving my brother my old Mac iPod and just reformatted it so he can start using it on his PC. Everything is working fine except that iTunes will not automatically launch when the iPod is attached. All the settings are correct and all software is installed properly. I have enabled disk use and can see that the iPod is recognized immediately because it mounts as an external drive but I wait and wait and wait and iTunes does not launch. When I launch iTunes manually, the iPod shows up in the source column within seconds. I only have Macs at home and a Sony Vaio laptop PC that I use for AutoCAD so I can only confirm this as a problem on my PC. I have MediaFour's MacDrive 6 installed and wondering if that is somehow conflicting. Any ideas on a fix for this?

    macboyinsf:
    My HP media center pc at home is doing exactly the same thing. My Dell at work will launch itunes automatically. My HP at home launched itunes the very first time I connected my ipod, but not since. I reloaded the software and again, itunes launched the first time, but not since. I wonder if this is a HP issue, or maybe a firewall issue (I use Zone Alarm)?
    Have you found a solution to this issue since you first posted?

  • On my MBP iTunes won't start automatically when I connect my iPhone or iPad?

    Today I encountered the following problem om my MBP:
    When I connect my iPhone 3GS or iPad on the MBP, iTunes (v10.2.2) doens't launch automatically.
    After self-starting iTunes I can synchronise and so on.
    Can somebody tell how I can change this behaviour?
    The iTunes-option "Voorkom automatische synch.... van iPods, ..." --> "do not automatically sync ... iPods, ..." isn't enabled.
    Many thx

    Hmmm..uninstalled, reinstalled, ran Software Update...something patched in iTunes, now works like a charm

  • Itunes no longer opening automatically when iphone connected

    iTunes sees the iphone if I launch iTunesbut it no longer opens automatically.
    could it be a preferences file problem?

    Hmm if click the Apple >> system preferences >> users and groups >> login items, do you have itunes helper listed?
    You can also try this:
    Open in Image Capture in /Applications with your iphone connected.  In the lower left, you'll see "connecting this iphone opens with" (if you don't see it, click the triangle/box icon to show it).  Click the menu >> select "Other" and navigate to itunes and choose that.  Quit Image Capture.
    Test.

  • ITunes doesn't launch automatically when iPhone is plugged in.

    It used to be, that when I plugged my iPhone into my Mac, iTunes launched automatically. It stopped doing that.
    If I launch iTunes myself the iPhone appears and everything works fine. I checked all the settings and asked the guy at the Genius Bar, but no joy. Anyone know what can cause this?
