ITunes no opening when phone connected.

I have two iPhones running from one account on a PC and using iPhone 3gs with 3.1.1. When I connected the phone to the PC it always used to open iTunes.
Now in iTune under 'Options' the option to ' Open iTunes when this phone is connected' is grayed out.
Is this because there are now two iPhones on the same account or another reason / solution?

happened to me to... i fixed mine it is a problem with the drives. windows thinks iphones are digital cameras so here is a video on how to fix:

  • ITunes not opening when device connected

    About a week ago, iTunes stopped opening when I connected my iPhone.  If I then open iTunes manually, the device will be recognized and will sync.  I checked in the system preferences and my Login Items had iTuneshelper checked, but the icon was a blank piece of paper and on the righ margin there was a yellow triangle with an exclamation point in it.
    I don't necessarily want iTunes to open when I connect my iPhone, but I would like to be in control of if it does or doesn't.
    How do I set this straight?

    Select the iPhone under Devices left side of the iTunes window.
    Select the Summmary tab from the menu.
    Select or deselect:  Open iTunes when this iPhone is connected
    And from the iTunes menu bar click iTunes / Preferences then select the Devices tab.
    You can select to have the iPhone sync automatically (or not) there.
    Or, right or control click the iPhone under Devices then make a selection.

  • Why won't iTunes automatically open when I connect my iPhone 6

    iTunes is set to open when I connect my phone but will not do so. I have to physically go to the program and open it each time I connect my phone. This also happens when I connect my iPad mini. This began when I upgraded to the iPhone 6. Before upgrading I did not have this problem.

    Hey there Ray_J,
    I understand that you want iTunes to be opening every time you connect your phone to your computer. You may wish to adjust this setting in your iTunes preferences to affect this behavior:
    Prevent iPods, iPhones, and iPads from syncing automatically
    Prevent devices from automatically syncing with this iTunes library when a device is connected. To sync a device, click the Sync button when the device is connected.
    iTunes 12 for Mac: iTunes Devices preferences
    https://support.apple.com/kb/PH19595
    If this is unchecked, iTunes will open automatically when you connect an iOS device. Thanks for being a part of the Apple Support Communities!
    Cheers,
    Braden

  • Itunes wont open when iphone connected to mac, please help?!

    i updated my iphone 4s and tried connecting it to my mac but itunes wont open at all, so i updated mac software as well as itunes, and itunes still won't open up when i connect my phone.
    P.S. iv'e already tried taking the USB cord out and plugging it back in twice already... still wont open.

    Launch the Console application in any of the following ways:
    ☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
    ☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
    ☞ Open LaunchPad and start typing the name.
    The title of the Console window should be All Messages. If it isn't, select
              SYSTEM LOG QUERIES ▹ All Messages
    from the log list on the left. If you don't see that list, select
              View ▹ Show Log List
    from the menu bar at the top of the screen.
    Click the Clear Display icon in the toolbar. Then take the action that isn't working the way you expect. Select any messages that appear in the Console window. Copy them to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. Paste into a reply to this message by pressing command-V.

  • Itune wont open when iphone connected.

    When I plug my Iphone into the computer either Itunes wont open or if it's open it wont recognize the phone. The computer shows it's connected because it always asks when program I wont to use to look at the pictures. I have tried rebooting the computer and it doesn't help. My IPOD is recognized but not the Iphone. Help!!!

    I had the same thing. Here's what fixed it for me:
    I had downloaded the latest iTunes (7.3) but because my existing copy of iTunes wasn't in the base, Applications folder, it didn't overwrite my existing iTunes application. Therefore, when you go to click on iTunes in your dock, or any desktop alias, etc., it's still opening the old version. Try opening the newly downloaded version (in the base, Applications folder) and try it again. I bet ya it'll work.

  • Itunes wont open when i connect my ipod touch

    when i plug my ipod in, my computers goes ding saying that a device is connected. then, it dings 3 additional times and then itunes doesnt open. my ipod starts to charge and i cant open itunes manually either. Please help. ive checked the wires for the usb and their fine. my computer is virus free too. what could be causing this unconnection to itunes.

    Update Server
    Try:
    - Powering off and then back on your router.
    - iTunes for Windows: iTunes cannot contact the iPhone, iPad, or iPod software update server
    - Change the DNS to either Google's or Open DNS servers
    Public DNS — Google Developers
    OpenDNS IP Addresses
    - Try on another computer/network
    - Wait if it is an Apple problem

  • ITunes not opening when iPhone connected

    Hi
    My iTunes used to open and start syncing immediately I connected my iPhone - now it does not.
    I've made sure the 'open iTunes when this iPhone is connected' box is ticked, switched off the iPhone and restarted it, restarted my MacBook, reset the sync history, deleted podcasts, restored the iPhone - nothing works.
    Is this an iPhone OS 4.1 issue?
    I'm running an 3GS iPhone with 4.1, iTunes vers. 10, on a MacBook OS X 10.5.8

    I'm having the same issue. There is an "iphone assistant" walk-through page I've gone through but the steps ave not seemed to work for me. I deleted and reinstalled the latest iTunes, but when I plug in... nothing. The most I get is when my iphone is off and I plug in to my mac, it will turn on. No charge.

  • I have down loaded itunes (windows) on my desk top and when i click on the icon it takes 4 to 5 minutes for the program to open.  also the program does not open when i connect my iphone.  Help!

    Why does it take 4 to 5 minutes for my itunes program to open?  it also frequently freezes while i am trying to work with it.  it won't open when i connect my iphone?  this is on my desk top with Windows 7.

    Okay, launch iTunes... does it work?
    If so, in Edit > Preferences > Advanced is the option to "prevent syncing of iDevices" selected?
    Another possibility, in Control Panel > Default Programs > Change Auto Play Settings > what is the system set to do when an iPhone is connected?

  • 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.

  • HT1386 I installed Snow Leopard and have the latest version of iTunes. However, when I connect my iPhone, it charges and iPhoto opens, but iTunes doesn't seem to recognize the iPhone. It simply doesn't appear in the left column. What gives?

    Did you try reinstalling the app and contacting the developer (there should be a contact link on the app's description page in the store) ? If you don't get a reply from the developer then you could try
    'report a problem' link from the purchase history on your computer's iTunes instead of on your iPad : log into your account on your computer's iTunes via Store > View My Account and you should then see a Purchase History section with a 'see all' link to the right of it ; click on that and you should see a list of your purchases ; find that song and use the 'Report a Problem' link (iTunes support should reply within, I think, 24 to 48 hours).
    Some people have had a problem with the 'report a problem' link (it's been taking people to this site on a browser instead of showing a form in iTunes) - if it does that to you then try contacting iTunes support via this page : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/- click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page.

  • HT1977 I downloaded an app on my PC, signed into my iTunes account, but when I connect my iPhone and click sync, it won't copy to my phone. How can I get this app to install on my phone?

    Your phone connected, iTunes running, under the "Apps" tab, you've selected this app to install on your phone, correct? Hit the "Apply/Sync" button, lower right on the Apps tab, what happens?
