Itunes no longer auto launches

Itunes used to launch automatically when I plugged in my iphone, but it no longer does. I can still start it from the start menu, but I enjoyed the automatic launch. The checkbox to "automatically synch when this iphone is connected" IS checked. Any suggestions?

+it does the camera bit+
I dont' think it's supposed to be doing this.

Windows 7 x64 - iTunes no longer auto launches when I connect iPhone

Hi
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.
Does anyone know how I can get iTunes to auto launch again please?

TS1717 iTunes will not auto-launch like it used to on Win7. Also cannot start in SAFE mode

I've had this computer & this installation of iTunes for a very long time. It has always worked perfectly, and will auto-start every time I connect the iPhone. (my iPhone would light up and display the "Sync in Progress" message on its screen)
The last few times I've connected it (same phone, same cord, same USB port, same comp., same install of Win7, no Library changes, no new components, no AntiVirus changes - nothing different) iTunes will NOT launch, and the Sync wil not take place.
But...
If -- after connecting the iPhone -- I manually launch iTunes, it proceeds normally thru the various steps except that the iPhone does NOT display any messages on its screen. I've tried several times, and re-booted the comp several times. I've also followed the Apple T/S steps and deleted the two config files & re-booted. No difference.
Yes - the preferences are set to allow the Sync when I plug in the iPhone.
Yes - I am the only user.
Yes - I am using a working cable...into a working USB port.
No - I have no third party add-ons or extensions.
One odd thing:
On the many, many previous occasions that I've opened the list of Running Applications...iTunesHelper.exe has been opne of the various apps running on the computer. Lately that app has vanished from the list, and...
No - I have not un-checked it in the STARTUP list.

Well...I was partially-blind.
I had a second look at my MSCONFIG list...and 'waay down at the bottom was iTunesHelper...with its checkbox clear. oops.
I ticked it of course, and then manually launched iTunesHelper.exe and re-connected the iPhone. iTunes auto-launched, and (as usual) it stepped thru the various stages like it's supposed to, but still no pop-up message on the iPhone screen.
Now I'm wondering if that came to an end when I made the jump to the iPhone5 from iPhone4(?) because it certainly seems to be syncing alright...just no pop-up on the iPhone's screen.

Itunes won't auto launch when iPhone 3gs is conncected

Hi there. My itunes on my MacBook Pro was working fine - it can sync and launch when my iPhones 3gs connected to it. But, it doesn't after I updated the iTunes to version 9.2.
It doesn't detect my iPhone or iPod when it's connect to my MacBook Pro. (despite of unlimited reinstalling my os x and reinstalling of my iTunes. It's only I did a proper uninstall my iTunes (following the apple's instruction), then it could detect my iPhone.
Now, it doesn't auto launch whenever I've connected my iPhone to my MacBook Pro. In iTunes' Preference, the option on 'Prevent iPods, iPhones, iPads from syncing automatically is "unchecked'. Why???

when your iPhone is connected, go to the summary tab. there should be this option

ITunes auto launch

This is a relatively minor issue, but since installing Lion, when i connect my iPhone, iTunes no longer auto launches.
I do have that option ticked too. Anyone else having this issue?

I've figured it out. With iPhone connected, you deselect auto launch, apply the change. Quit iTunes. Restart iTunes. Select auto launch. Dialog box will ask for confirmation, and reset iTunes Helper. Job done. Quit iTunes. Now connecting iPhone auto launches iTunes.

Itunes no longer launching when Nano connected

We have 2 iPod Nanos.
Recently, when either is connected iTunes is no longer auto-launching to auto-update the iPod's.
Info: I'm using iTunes version 7.4.1 (2)
Please advise how to make iTunes launch (again) when either of our Nanos are inserted [which use to force iTunes to update the Nanos once iTunes launched after insert of the iPod(s)].

checked all my usb connections and solved problem

Firefox does not auto launch when I click on a hyperlink in another program

Firefox no longer auto launches when I click on a hyperlink in another program (ie in an email). It used to work and I have no idea when it stopped.

Vista-64 home premium. When updated to Firefox 4, I also got this message. Fixed by reassociating htm type files to Firefox 4 (Control Panel, Programs, Set your default programs, restart Firefox). Works now.

How do I stop iTunes from auto-launching when connecting iPod.

I have found one method of doing this set out below.
You may want to stop iTunes from auto-launching whenever you plug in your iPod. To do this, open iTunes, and select the iPod in the left-hand Source window. Four buttons will then appear in the lower right-hand corner of the iTunes window. Click the left-most button with the iPod icon on it. This will bring up the iPod Preferences dialog. Uncheck the option labeled "Open iTunes when attached." You probably also want to prevent iTunes from trying to automatically synchronize your iPod when you connect by selecting the "Manually manage songs and playlists" option in the same Preferences dialog.
I am unable to find the iPod icon in the left hand Source window, maybe if I connect my iPod an icon will appear, but I don't want to do this in case stuff is transferred between the iPod and Comp or vice versa.
Sorry to be so long winded, but it was difficult to explain without being so.
If any one knows of another way to do what I am trying to do
Perhaps they would let me know.

okay. in a 7.0.x, we no longer get the "ipod options" icon when the ipod is plugged in and selected in the sourcelist (the area to the left of the iTunes screen). instead, the ipod options and preferences display for us in the main library screen.
"Open iTunes when this ipod is connected" is kept down at the bottom of the "Summary" tab. (scroll down to the bottom of that tab to see everything under the "Options" heading.)
"manually manage music" (or "manually manage music and videos" if you've got a video-capable ipod) is also kept down at the bottom of the "Summary" tab in the Options area.
for a technique for connecting the ipod without automatically syncing (if you have an automatic syncing option set on the ipod already), and then changing the options to "manually manage music", see:
How to keep iTunes from automatically updating your iPod
unfortunately, that document is also written for itunes 6.0.x or earlier. so in your case the instructions under the "Now that you're logged in as the Guest user, it's time to get back to iTunes and your iPod:" section at steps 4, 5 and 6 should read:
4. Scroll down to the bottom of the Summary Tab
5. Check the "Manually manage music" checkbox.
6. Click "Apply".

ITunes no longer launches when iPhone connected

Hello all:
My ITunes no longer launches automatically when I connect my IPhone.
IPhoto does, but not ITunes. However, once I open it, it connects with my phone and syncs it without an issue.
I just want it to auto-launch for syncing.
I've read a few posts about this, but have not seen a clear answer yet.
The following settings on my phone and laptop are correct (I think):
--ITunes>iPhone>Summary>"Automatically sync when this iPhone is connected" checked
--ITunes>Preferences>Devices>"Disable automatic syncing for iPhone and iPods" is unchecked
I noted in one previous post about this that someone mentioned the necessity of having "ITunes Helper" installed in your Login Items, in your Account prefs, in order to have ITunes auto-launch when the iPhone is connected. I do NOT have this app, nor can I find it anywhere on my computer.
Is this the problem? If so, is ITunes Helper available somewhere?
Hoping for an answer; I've noticed that a lot of posts on this subject have not gotten responses, and wondering why.

Find iTunes in your applications folder. Right-click (control-click) on iTunes and select "Show package contents". Look in the "Resources folder" for iTunes helper. Drag it into your Accounts -> Login items list. Restart your Mac.

ITunes auto launches on startup (no iPod/Phone connected)

For the last couple of weeks (perhaps longer) I've noticed iTunes launches itself whenever I restart my MacBook Pro.
There is no iPhone connected at the time.
Everything is up to date in software.
I've removed iTunes helper from my login items.
I'm at a loss.
Your assistance in resolving this matter would be very much appreciated.
Cheers!
Darcy

I just tried restarting again, this time with iTunes last closed on my music tab rather than the store tab, where I realized it had been parked for some time.
iTunes still auto launched on startup, though after a longer delay than usual.
AND after I quit iTunes, it auto launched itself again. That was a first.
For what it's worth.

Disable iTunes auto launch on iPhone docking.

Hello I'm trying to disable iTunes from automatically opening when I dock my iPhone to my computer. I have successfully done this by disabling ituneshelper.exe but this automatically enables itself after every reboot. (even if I disable it via msconfig) Is there a way to permanently stop iTunes from opening up when I dock my iPhone? Thanks a bunch.
I do not have any auto sync functions on.
I run Windows Vista 64 bit.

I have the same problem!
I am running 8.2.1.6 and EVERY time I plug in my iPhone 3GS it causes two events:
1) Windows has to tell me that there's a camera connected and asks me if I would prefer to use MS Word or the Camera/Scanner Wizard. Grrr. (MS Word??? Duh.)
2) iTunes launches, bogs down my network connection, grinds for 5 minutes, and then tells me all about iTunes DJ. Sigh.
In the past, I thought the "Disable automatic syncing" option in Preferences>Devices was all that was required to disable the auto-launch. I guess that's no longer the case.
All I want is to use my USB port to charge my phone -- I let the real iTunes on OSX take care of all my syncing requirements . . .
I think this maybe should be considered a BUG.
Anybody got an answer?

IPhone 4 no longer automatically launches iTunes

My iPhone 4 no longer automatically launches iTunes. In iTunes, the box is checked that says "Open iTunes when this iPhone is connected." I've checked and unchecked that box, restarted the computer, etc., but nothing I've done has fixed the problem. I've seen the solutions for the same problem in Windows, but not for a Mac. How can I fix this?

Hi,
I have the same problem and found the same solution (i.e. unchecking then "open iTunes when iPhone is connected", then rechecking it, re-installing iTunes Helper).
The only problem is that this keeps happening over and over, and while I can certainly manage opening iTunes manually whenever I connect my phone, it bothers me that something is not working and I cannot figure out how to fix it.
I noticed that when iTunes does not open automatically, you will see that iTunes Helper is not available in the System Preferences -> Users -> Login Items. The funny thing is that I am not even able to find it on my computer at all - until I re-install it through iTunes that is...
Does anybody have an answer for this?
Thanks,
Jan
