ITunes doesn't launch when I connect iPhone or iPad

Other strings on this seem to be related to Mac Lion, but I'm still with Snow Leopard.
Any suggestions would be most welcome.

    Ok so i installed Windows 7 x64 and iTunes x64 but now iTunes no longer auto-launches when I connect my iPhone. My PC has no problems finding my iPhone, it does the camera bit and if I start iTunes manually it syncs the iPhone with no issues.

  • ITunes 8 - Win: STOP iTunes from launching when I connect iPhone???

    Hello,
    I have searched around a lot and have seen various responses to this question, but cannot seem to find a definitive way to stop iTunes from launching every time I connect my iPhone 3G.
    If this is possible, can someone please provide specific instructions on how to do this?
    Windows Vista - iPhone 3G - iTunes 8
    Thank you!

    Google is your friend, Chad.
    Found this link: http://forums.macosxhints.com/showthread.php?p=513358 with some info excerpted below.
    "+However, there is a workaround solution:+
    +Allowing auto-syncing for all devices in Preferences, and then turning automatic syncing off for the device in Summary, corrects the problem and prevents iTunes from auto-launching when the device is connected.+"
    It may be Mac specific, but maybe not. Try it out. If not, continue to Google for "Disable iTunes Auto Launch (or auto start).

  • 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 doesn't open when I connect my iPhone

    i upgraded from Tiger to Leopard. Since then every time I connect my iPhone, iTunes doesn't open automatically. And the phone restarts every time I connect to computer. Please help.

    One other thing to check. When you plug in your iPhone, open iTunes to sync it, and on the Summary Page for the iPhone, look near the bottom of it for the Options section. Put a check in the box that says: Automatically sync when this iPhone is connected. That should automatically open iTunes and start the syncing every time you connect it to the computer. Hope this does it for you.

  • Itunes doesn't open when I connect my phone to computer

    When I connect my iphone 3gs to my Mac, itunes doesn't automatically open even though that option is checked on itunes.  If I manually open itunes on my Mac, it does sync with the phone, but why isn't it opening automatically anymore?  It used to.

    I found this searching the forum: https://discussions.apple.com/thread/2024529
    Also, you can try unchecking the option in iTunes, quit and relaunch itunes, then check it again.

  • ITunes 10.5 freezing when I connect iPhone 4.

    After updating to 10.5, iTunes now freezes on my Mac (running 10.7.1) when I connect my iPhone 4. (running 4.3.3)
    It works fine when I have my iPad connected.
    I have to Force Quit.
    I've tried rebooting the phone and computer, and also disabling auto-sync.

  • Itunes doesn't open when ipod connects to pc

    Itunes won't open automatically when I connect to my pc. I have to to click on the itunes icon. I have the box checked marked to open automatically under options.

    gta129,
    Do you have iTunesHelper set to start up when you login? To check if it's in the list of login items:
    1. Open System Preferences.
    2. Click the Accounts pane.
    3. Select your user.
    4. Click the Login Items tab.
    5. See if iTunes Helper is listed here.
    Hope this helps,

  • Itunes doesn't open when I connect ipod?

    When I connect my ipod, itunes no longer opens - it used to. Yes, I have the box checked "open itunes when this ipod is connected". Thanks in advance for any help.

    Found the answer. It's a slight variation on a post from a few years ago on the same problem. Go to the iTunes application - right click - go to show package content - then contents and instead of going down to resourses go to MacOS folder and then go to iTunesHelper and drag it over to the login items in the accounts area in your system preferences. It worked for me so far.

  • I don't want iTunes to launch when I connect iPhone.  How do I stop this?

    There's a way to rename a file somewhere to prevent either iTunes or iPhoto from launching and mounting iPhone when it is connected. I read about this when I was having a problem one time. I have searched "disable automount itunes" (and other variations) and now I can't find it. Can anybody point me to the thread about this?
    I like iPhoto to launch and mount, but I only use iTunes to upgrade the iOS. I would like iPhoto to automount and iTunes to be voluntary (i.e., clicking on the iTunes dock icon, etc.) I don't want to have to unmount iPhone from iTunes and close iTunes every time I simply want to download photos.
    Thank you.

    With a Mac, you need to remove the iTunes Helper from the login items for your computer's login account.
    System Preferences > Accounts. Select your login account. Under the Login Items tab for your computer login account, select iTunes Helper followed by selecting the - sign to remove iTunes Helper from your login items.
    There is also a way to prevent iPhoto from launching automatically when your iPhone or any digital camera is connected. iPhoto will launch automatically when your iPhone is connected when it includes photos and/or video in your iPhone's Camera Roll only.

  • ITunes doesn't launch when iPod is connected

    It used to but suddenly stopped.  It does show up on the device list.  The option box is checked.  I've turned the iPod off and even restarted my Mac.  It launches iPhoto, but not iTunes.  I've got the latest version of iTunes.

    Try here:

  • ITunes doesn't auto. open after connecting iPhone

    Everytime i connect my iPhone 3G to my iMac (v.10.4.11), iTunes(v.7,7,1)
    does not open automatically, instead iPhoto is opening by itself.
    It also does not appear in the sidebar of my Finder, or is this normal ???
    Any helpful idea???
    Thanks in advance.

    RoMYI,
    The iPhone will launch iPhoto if it has pictures taken on the iPhone. You can change this setting in iPhoto '08 or in Image Capture.
    The iPhone does not support disk mode, so will not show up in the sidebar in Finder.
    If you open iTunes does it show up in iTunes, and what options are checked in the Summary tab?
    Thank you,
    Nathan C.
