ITunes not Starting when iPhone connected

I just got an iPhone 3G and installed iTunes 9.0.
When I connect my iPhone to sync, iTunes does not start. I get the box:
Camera connected
Select the program to launch for this actiona
Canon CameraWindow
Microsoft Scanner and Camera Wizard
If I manually start iTunes, I can see my iPhone but no Music or Movie subfolders under the device. And I can't drag any music from my library to the iPhone.
Is there a conflict with my camera software or should it just work this way? I tried to uninstall all camera software but without success.
I have gotten some music on the iPhone from syncing, but not all that I want.
Thanks for the help.
Dave

Reinstall iTunes 9. If that doesn't work, restart AMDS:

  • 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.

  • How to turn off iTunes auto-start when iPhone connected?

    The option "Open iTunes when this iPhone is connected" is disabled (grayed out) in iTunes 10. The grayed-out check box is unchecked, yet iTunes starts every time I plug in my iPhone 3G. I would like to be able to plug in my phone without iTunes starting. Is there a way?

    Right. Un-checking the preference to prevent auto-sync re-enabled the auto-start option. Then I was able to check and un-check the auto-start option and re-check the prevent auto-sync preference. Now all seems well. Despite appearances (the un-checked option), the internal setting was in the wrong state and twiddling it seems to have set things right.
    What a boneheaded user interface, where items on widely separated parts of the UI affect each other invisibly.

  • Itunes ''not responding'' when iphone connected

    Hi
    I have had an iphone 3g for 12 months and has been fine until very recently.
    Whenever i connect it to itunes now it crashes itunes almost immediately. I have updated itunes but it hasnt solved it. It seems to charge the phone but just crashes itunes.as soon as i disconnect the cable itunes runs fine. however i have another iphone cable which i tried and it seemed to solve the problem but this solution only lasted about a week before the same thing occured. I have sinced purchased a new cable on the off chance and it still dosnt help?????
    any advice

    They sometimes get corrupted on the phone, thus can cause the problem you experienced. The suggestion to reinstall itunes was done first because we always want to try and preserve data. Since that didn't work, we start to look at potential data problems. Glad we got it worked out.
    You're welcome.

  • Itunes not responding when iphone connected or when itunes is opened

    When I try to open iTunes on my windows 7 computer, it will not open completely before it says its not responding.  Sometimes itunes will open, but as soon as i plug in my iPhone 3s it will not respond.  I do not have any podcasts on the phone.

  • 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.

  • ITunes not starting when iPod is connected

    New problem. Ipod nano 4th gen working fine until today (new 1 week ago). Today, when I connect with my computer (windows XP SP3), instead of auto-starting iTunes, the computer opens up a separate window for the nano (treating it as a drive).
    If I start iTunes separately, it will see and sync with the iPod, but sometimes a separate window for the iPod will open up at the same time as it is synchronizing.
    I tried resetting the iPod--no change. Restarted computer--no change. Restored the iPod--no change.
    Any ideas? Thanks.

    That tab was already checked. In the meantime, I kept looking around.
    I found a "run diagnostics" item in the iTunes help menu. I selected "iPhone/iPod connectivity tests." It showed that iTunes Helper was not installed. It linked to a web page that gave more instructions that seemed pretty drastic. So...
    On a hunch, I went to the windows System Configuration Utility, went to the Startup tab. Sure enough, there is an iTunes Helper as an option to load at startup (but not selected). So I selected it, clicked OK, restarted the computer. Connected the iPod, now works perfectly (I think). Re-ran the diagnostics test, and it passes.

  • Can't prevent iTunes from starting when I connect my iPhone

    I primarily connect my iPhone 4 to an iMac at home, on which pretty much all of my content is stored.  It's set up to sync wirelessly.  Until recently, I synced my calendar and contact data to Outlook on my work computer, which is a PC running Windows XP.  We recently switched to an Exchange server for calendars and contacts, and my backups sync to the cloud, so I don't need to sync anything at work anymore.  I still connect the phone to the computer to charge it and to upload (not sync) photos, but there's no reason to run iTunes, so I unchecked the "Open iTunes when this phone is connected option". 
    The problem is that when I connect the phone, it still starts iTunes and goes through a "sync".  I have nothing selected to sync, but it copies "Safari safe browsing data", whatever that is.  When I look, the "Open iTunes ...." box is again checked. If I uncheck it again, the same thing happens again.
    My computer's a bit underpowered, so starting a process I don't want to is kind of annoying, and I'd like to stop this.
    Any advice would be appreciated.
    Thanks,
    Eric

    Finally figured this out.  I had assumed that the "start iTunes" option was separate for each computer, but apparently, it's a single option.  I had accidentally left it on at home, and since it syncs via WiFi every time I connect it to a charger, this always overwrote what I did at work.  Once I turned it off at home, it stayed off in both places.

  • ITunes does not open when iPhone connected.

    When I connect my iPhone to my iMac, iTunes does not open. The iTunes option to open iTunes when this iPhone is connected is checked.
    What is the name of the iTunes preference file that I can put in the trash to try to get this to work correctly?
    Thank you.

  • Itunes wont start when i connect my iphone

    When I plug in My iphone I itunes will not start What can I do?

    By taking it to a third party, you have voided any warranty you may have had, and now apple will not touch your phone. Sounds like they have crossed things up on your phone and you need to buy a new one. Make sure you buy it from apple or an authorized apple carrier.

  • ITunes does not start when I connect iPad

    Until about a month ago, everything worked perfectly. When I connected my iPad to my MacBook Pro, iTunes started automatically and then started the sync with my iPad, just as I had set it to do. About a month ago, however, iTunes would not start automatically. I have to manually start iTunes. Once I do, then everything syncs normally, no problem. I have checked, and the check box in iTunes is checked "Open iTunes when this iPad is connected." I tried a general reset of the settings on my iPad. Nothing changed. iTunes says it is the most current version (I just checked) and my iPad says it has the latest available iOS version.
    Any suggestions? I can live with this like it is, but if there is a problem, I'd like to correct it before iOS 5 comes out.

    Thanks to all who replied. It turns out that, as you suggested, for some reason the iTunes Helper applet wasn't there. Did a reinstall, and now all works fine. So now I know that if I never have this problem again, that will be my first stop.
    As for the other suggested that were made, these are all great suggestions and these are steps I had already taken in troubleshooting the problem. I didn't mention that, so I am glad to have this documented if anyone one else does a search and is looking for an answer. By all means, be sure you do what the other folks said first, and if they don't work, then go for the iTunes Helper applet. That did it for me.

  • ITunes not Opening when iPhone is connected

    My iPhone is synced to my home computer (Mac), but I often use my work computer (PS) to charge while at work. Before I was doing this, I had no issues with iTunes and my personal computer, but now when I connect my phone to my personal computer iTunes won't open on its own. I've read on another post that I needed to reinstall iTunes. I reinstalled iTunes, plugged in my phone and it iTunes opened. Problem solved! Two days later problem is back. I know that it can be fixed again by reinstalling iTunes, but I don't want to do this each time. Any help/ideas?

    In iTunes > Preferences > Advanced > click Reset warnings and Reset cache buttons.
