ITunes no longer opens when I plug in my iPhone - iPhoto does. Help!

Don't know what happened - but when I plug in my iPhone to sync - iPhoto opens up - not iTunes. I went to Help, and changed USB port, restarted computer and iPhone.... iPhoto still opens instead of iTunes. Device only shows up on iPhoto window, not iTune. Is there a fix?

It SHOULD show up in iPhoto if you have photos in your Camera Roll, in addition to opening in iTunes.

After 4.3, iTunes no longer opens when I plug my iPhone in to sync

I downloaded the most recent update. Now, when I plug in my iPhone to sync/charge, only iPhoto opens and iTunes will not. I have the box checked in iTunes to open iTunes when the phone is connected but it doesn't and I have to open it manually. Bug????

Problem SOLVED. Somehow iTunesHelper disappeared from Login Items. Not sure what caused this, but here's how to fix the problem.
Goto System Preferences:Accounts:Login Items. Check to see if iTunesHelper is listed and not unknown. If it is unknown, delete it. Then go to Finder, find iTunes, and Control-Click to Show Package Contents. Go to Contents:MacOS and you'll see iTunesHelper. Now just drag this into the Login Items window in System Preferences and check the Hide box. Restart your Mac and iTunes should now start whenever an iOS device is connected.
THIS WORKS - just do this and ituneshelper gets reinstalled

How can I get ITunes to open when I plug in my Iphone and show my Iphone

Itunes application not responding when I plug in my iphone

I am on itunes 8.2 and when I plug in my iphone itunes just goes into application not responding.
I wait for a while and then unplug the phone and it goes back to working again.
On the phone there is no "Sync" message. In fact with the phone plugged in I can access the phones apps just as if it was not plugged in.
But initially when I plug it in, it does the double vibrate and shows the charging graphic so I know the cable is ok.
The phone is already on 3.1 apparently because some new features are there... like selecting multiple photos to email.
But I don't recall ever running any updates in itunes to make it use the new software as I read you were supposed to do.
I don't want to upgrade to itunes 9 because I read so many people having problems with it... but I wonder if the phone is no longer compatible with itunes 8.2
Any help is appreciated.
Thanks.
-Jeff

Do you know if the problems people have reported with itunes 9 was before the 9.1 release?
I've heard tons of people saying they were reverting back to itunes 8.2 because 9 was so bad.
Am a bit nervous about that update because of that.
But an applecare guy told me that the 9.1 was supposed to address those issues. I have just not heard anything about that actually fixing things though. Still seems like a lot of people are dreading the new itunes 9.
If you are an itunes 9 user, did you have any problems with it wiping out your library or any terribly long syncing times?
Thanks.

How do I stop iTunes from coming up when I plug in the iPhone

I don't always want iTunes to come up, only for syncing, when I plug in my iPhone or iPad. I most often just download photos using Image Capture and don't need iTunes for that.
I see nothing in iTunes preferences (where it should be you would think) about disabling iTunes from starting up when you plug in the iPhone.

I'm being careful to rely on help with this as I have in the past 'done what is logical' and wound up destroying files and in a pickle. So I ask this one other related questions then:
If I want to back up to computer then the 'automatically backs up to this computer' really means nothing as the message across from it says it has never been backed up before even though it automatically syncs then?
This is very thin ice. I think I do remember in older versions of iTunes a checkbox like the one you mentioned first, but now it is gone.
Whew. I'm sweating out what to do next.

TS1410 I just downloaded iTunes 9 and i do not want to upgrade any further, so when i plug in my iPhone iPhoto recognizes it as a iPhone/camera but iTunes does not recognize it. any help would be appreciated

Thank you so much. Guess i just have to upgrade now.

After downloading and installing the 64-bit version of iTunes for Windows I get a "Congratulations, you've successfully installed iTunes" message. However, when I plug in my iPhone to synch it I get a message that says that I don't the 64-bit version??

After downloading the 64-bit version of iTunes on my Windows 7 machine I get the "Congratulations, you've successfully installed iTunes" message. However, when I plug in my iPhone I get an error message that says, in part, "...the required software is not installed. Run the installer to remove iTunes, then install the 64-bit version of iTunes". I've been at this for hours, carefully deleting all Apple software (Apple Mobile Support, Quicktime, etc. and before each attempt to install the 64-bit version from Apple ( no third parties). Same result each time!!! Any ideas????

Let's try a standalone Apple Mobile Device Support install. It still might not install, but fingers crossed any error messages will give us a better idea of the underlying cause of why it's not installing under normal conditions.
Download and save a copy of the iTunesSetup.exe (or iTunes64setup.exe) installer file to your hard drive:
http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
Download and install the free trial version of WinRAR:
http://www.rarlab.com/
Right-click the iTunesSetup.exe (or iTunes64setup.exe), and select "Extract to iTunesSetup" (or "Extract to iTunes64Setup"). WinRAR will expand the contents of the file into a folder called "iTunesSetup" (or "iTunes64Setup").
Go into the folder and doubleclick the AppleMobileDeviceSupport.msi (or AppleMobileDeviceSupport64.msi) to do a standalone AMDS install.
(If it offers you the choice to remove or repair, choose "Remove", and if the uninstall goes through successfully, see if you can reinstall by doubleclicking the AppleMobileDeviceSupport.msi again.)
Does it install (or uninstall and then reinstall) properly for you? If so, does your device connect without that message now?

How do I stop iPhoto from opening when i plug in my iPhone?

How do I stop Iphoto from opening when I plug in my Iphone?

Having the preference in iPhoto makes perfect sense to me. After all, iPhoto is the application that opens. You would expect that is where you should provide some guidance not to open.
What puzzles me much more is why you would post this comment more than 18 months after wjosten answered the original question.

Why does iphoto open when i plug in my iphone instead of itunes?

Becasue you have not set your preferences in itunes to open when a device is connected and you have set iphoto to open when a digital camera is connected.

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.

ITunes and iTuneshelper crash when I plug in my iPhone

I'm out of ideas on this problem...
Beginning yesterday, when I plug in my Iphone to sync it with iTunes, both iTunes and iTuneshelper crash, and Windows gives me the option to create a crash report. As a result I can no longer sync my iPhone with my Thinkpad.
No new software in the past several days, no other change in system stability. iTunes 9.0.3.15, iPhone OS 3.1.2, Windows XP SP3 with all updates applied.
Is there a log or dump file I can upload to help point to my problem?
Thanks in advance.

edit: I should add that when I plug in the iPhone, iTunes doesn't even get to the point of displaying its gui...it crashes on start and iTuneshelper goes with it. If I leave iTuneshelper not running and just re-run iTunes by manually starting it, it won't recognize the iPhone but doesn't crash, either, when I plug in the phone. I know iTuneshelper interfaces the phone to iTunes, so I guess something is going wrong in the iTuneshelper-iPhone exchange.

This is interesting: when I attempted to re-boot into safe mode I inadvertently booted into the Thinkpad Rescue and Recovery partition. The first thing it does is check the core OS files, and it found that ws2_32.dll was corrupted. It replaced the file and I re-booted Windows in normal mode. After it finished booting I plugged in the iPhone and up came iTunes. The phone synced and I'm back in business.
I'm going to take a look at the article you just pointed to, never heard of that tool. Hopefully Windows remains stable and whatever corrupted ws2_32.dll was a one-time actor.
Thanks for your help here, you got me headed down the right path.

HT1923 ITunes no longer starts when I plug in iTouch.

ITunes is on Windows 7. It operates well in all other respects. It does recognize the iTouch and synchronize. iTunes just does not start automatically when I plug in the iTouch as it used to do. Is there a fix short of reinstall iTunes which doesn't seem worth the bother?

It SHOULD show up in iPhoto if you have photos in your Camera Roll, in addition to opening in iTunes.

ITunes won't open when I plug in my iPod.

I added some more songs to iTunes, and when I plugged in my iPod, iTunes didn't open or anything. It did nothing.
What do I do????

Did you do this:
Removing and reinstalling iTunes and other software components for Windows Vista, Windows 7, or Windows 8

Can I NOT have iPhoto open when I plug in my iPhone?

Every time I plug my iPhone, iPhoto pops up (turns on). Is there a way NOT to have iPhoto pop up? iTunes obviously comes up too which is fine; just don't want iPhoto coming up.

Kevin Lee5,
Yes, you can turn it off. However, first an overview of why it pops up.
iPhoto pops up and offers to import any pictures taken on the iPhone to the computer when there are pictures taken on the iPhone. These pictures might not be backed up, and gives you an opportunity to import them so that they are on more than just the iPhone. If you initiate a remote wipe, reset all settings and content, or lose your iPhone they could be lost.
Setting it to pop up will affect all digital cameras, so you will need to open iPhoto manually to import photos from a digital camera in addition to the iPhone.
In iPhoto 7, you can turn it off in the in the iPhoto preferences. Select "No Application" in the General tab where it says, "Connecting camera opens:"
Regardless of which version of iPhoto you have installed, the same option appears in the Image Capture preferences as well.
Hope this helps,
Nathan C.
