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

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 no longer launches when IPhone connected - Windows PC

whenever i connect my iPhone to my PC, iTunes never launches.
How do i repair this? or Can it even be repaired?
i saw a Thread Fix for the MAC on here.. but not for the PC.
Thanks, ThunderBoyDavid

Hi,
If you manually open iTunes, is the iphone found and listed under Devices?
If it doesn't show up at all, it could be that the iphone driver has corrupted.
It's been a while since I have a look in an XP machine but from memory;
With the phone plugged in, goto Control Panel > System > Device Manager > Hardware
You should find two apple drivers I think under Portable Devices -
Apple iPhone: which is the driver for connecting to iTunes and
Apple Mobile Device USB Driver: this connects the camera
Does the 1st driver have an yellow exclamation indicating that it is not installed correctly? If it does, delete it and then search from new devices again and the phone should be found again and reinstalled.
If this doesn't work, it probably quickest to uninstall iTunes and re-install it following this method

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 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.

ITunes won't launch when iPod/iPad connected

going nuts! My iTunes will not launch when i connect my ipod or ipad. the setting to allow this is greyed out as is the option 'sync only ticked itmes'. I have uninstalled and installed iTunes several times. Changed as many settings as I can and back again. iMatch is on but that is causing me no end of grief too. Tried turning it off but that makes not difference. I can't copy a play list to ipod as it says iMatch is turned on on the iPod - it isn't!

Is the conmpouter authoris for the iTuens account?
Did you sync with this computer the last time?

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.

Help, iTunes refuses to not auto launch when iPhone connected to computer

Hi, anyone else have this obnoxious problem? I unchecked "auto syncing" and all of the possible disabling options in iTunes>Preferences. Another forum I visted mentioned disabling iTunes Helper. I am having a problem launching iTunes Helper because I did a search from the main Windows Start area (lower left of computer screen), and iTunes Helper does show up with a .exe extension showing it's an application. However, when I click on it, it just disappears. It's also not listed in "My Programs" or when I run "msconfig". Is finding iTunes Helper so I can disable it what I need here to keep iTunes from auto launching when the iPhone is connected, or is my solution in doing something else? I'm using iTunes 9.0.25 Any solid help here is much appreciated!

I don't have an iPhone but I imagine it is probably similar to using an iPod. When I connect the iPod to the computer and it shows up in iTunes under devices, click on the device (iPhone), in the device screen that appears there is an options section that has a check-box "Open iTunes when this iPod is connected." Un-check it.

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).
Best of Luck

ITunes fails to launch when iPhone 5 is connected

With the 11.1.3 (8) upgrade, iTunes fails to launch when my iPhone 5 is connected to my MacPro. iPhoto launches automatically, as expected. When I manually launch iTunes, it will recognize the phone, but I must manually sync it and back it up. When I select the iPhone, open SUMMARY and view Options (at the bottom of the page), Options, the box that says "Automatically sync when this iPhone is connected" is grayed-out and cannot be checked or selected. I've re-downloaded and re-installed iTunes, to no avail. Any tips on how to restore this basic functionality?

Hi SC Dad,
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities. This article has steps to take to enable iTunes to automatically launch when your iPhone is connected that may help:

ITunes has stopped launching when I plug in my iPhone via USB

Two things have stopped working with my iPhone recently.
1. iTunes no longer launches automatically when I plug in my iPhone to my iMac via USB.
2. The iPhone Notes app has stopped syncing via USB lead between the iPhone and the iMac.
I have tried closing applications, and rebooting both the iPhone and iMac, but this makes no difference.
I'm running OS X 10.6.8 on my iMac.
My iPhone is a 3G running iOS 4.2.1
Can anyone help?
This sounds like a bug introduced by a recent software update. Is anyone at Apple listening?

For point 1 have a look on your Mac:
Settings | System | Users & Groups | Your Account | Login Items
and see if iTunesHelper is there and ticked. If it has a yellow warning symbol next to it it has lost were to find this app which brings up iTunes when you connect devices.
It could have been messed up by an upgrade of iTunes. To set it up again you can add it to the 'Login Items' again. The iTunesHelper application is buried inside the iTunes application special folder:
Applications > iTunes > Contents > MacOS > iTunesHelper
you can navigate to it by looking at the package contents for iTunes (right click it). You can't add it by choosing the '+' button because you have to look inside iTunes.
Open Users & Groups, your account, Login Items then next to it
Open a Finder window navigate to iTunesHelper like above and then drag icon for it into the Login Items window.

My iPod dispalys this message: "Connect to a computer. Use iTunes to restore." When I connect to a computer, iTunes doesn't recognise it. The iPod 5th Gen does not work at all. How do I fix my iPod without losing any data?

I have seen the Apple webpage suggesting the "five R's" (including restore). Before doing anything, I want to be sure that restoring or any other action is not going to delete or risk my data.
I would be very grateful if anyone can suggest a fix for this problem, in a way that will not risk my data.
Thanks in advance!

Did you try a hard reset with the iPod still connected to your PC? Have you tried multiple USB ports, preferably high powered USB 2.0 ports?
To do a hard reset, first make sure the hold switch is in the Off position, then press and hold both the Select (Center) and Menu buttons together long enough for the Apple logo to appear.
Have you also worked through each and every single troubleshooting suggestion in this Apple support document?

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.
Regards,
Colin R.
