ITunes opens when I disconnect iPhone from computer... WHY?!

Ever since the 3.1 update (I believe), whenever I disconnect my iPhone from my computer, iTunes opens... Is this Apple telling me I HAVE to have iTunes open at all times on my computer, and if I don't, they're going to open it for me? It's quite annoying really, and I can't figure out how to make it stop opening each time I disconnect phone from computer.
Anyone else experiencing this problem?

AHHHH! This has been happening to me for a while now. it's REALLy annoying. iTunes pops up for a second when I unplug my phone and then it hides itself in the dock. I wouldn't care, except that I've got limited RAM and use a lot of Adobe programs...and iTunes is a bit of a memory hog.
Wonder if it's a bug or a "feature," though i'm not sure what the feature would be. Please let me know if there is a way to fix this. I've gone thorugh all the options without success

    iphone 4 is not recognized by itunes and is only on emergency mode, keeps telling me to connect to itunes but when I connect iphone to computer it does not recognize it

    Did you try recovery mode?  Hold down the home button as you connect it to iTunes.  iTunes should pop up a window that says "iTunes has detected a device in recovery mode" and give you the option to restore.

  • ITunes quits when I connect iPhone to computer

    I just installed iTunes upgrade 8.0.2 on my iBook G4. iTunes opens when I click on it and and appears to operate okay. No crash. But when I connect my iPhone, iPhoto launches and iTunes unexpectedly quits. Every time. I cannot start iTunes, either, with the phone connected to the computer. This has never happened before, just started when I upgraded to 8.0.2. I have not upgraded my iPhone yet (because iTunes won't launch with it). My iPhone version is 2.1 Your help would be so appreciated!

    I'm having the same problem. I've tried reinstalling itunes, repairing drive permissions, etc. No improvement. Our ipod touch with v2.1 works fine, it seems to be isolated to the v2.2 upgrade I perfromed on my iphone. I'm running itunes 8.0.2. Help?

  • Blue screen of death when disconnecting iPhone from computer

    So I bought the iPhone and even though I own a Mac I decided to connect it to my work PC which happens to run Windows XP. Everything worked great until I took a picture with the iPhone. As soon as I connected the iPhone, the computer crashed with a blue screen of death. So I looked it up on the forums here and found the article that talks about what COULD be the issue. What Apple is saying with that article basiclly is that this is "your" problem and not theirs so good luck trying to find which one of the 50 drivers that I have on my machine causes the issue. I tried to fix it by updating the drivers that they recommend and the problem is still there. Fine, I will not take pictures with the iPhone.
    And then yesterday out of the blue (no pun intended) iTunes gave me an error message when I connected the iPhone, I didn't pay any attention to it and dismissed it only to find out that now every time I remove the iPhone from the computer, it crashes it with a blue screen of death. So now I can't sync the iPhone at all! How much more unsaved work am I going to loss because of this product?
    On a personal note, I am a huge fan of Apple's products but I am extremely upset about this. Not only did Apple create a sloppy software implementation, they are making it look like it's a Windows problem. None of the other products that are installed on my machine cause my computer to crash like that, and if I do have an outdated driver (which I doubt!) then the developers of those products have found a way to deal with them WITHOUT crashing!
    Please advise

    ok. first I couldn't log in with my previous nickname (not sure why) so I created a new one. Anyways, thank you for your reply and I'm sorry for coming off like jack it's just that losing your data three times will do that to you. I will tunnel my anger back at Microsoft I guess.
    In any event, I went back and took a look at my drivers and didn't find any Lexmark or Logitec in there, however I decided to remove the built-in camera driver that came with the laptop and that seemed to work (it turns out that Logitec makes that camera!). I also moved the USB cable to a different port on the computer and now I don't get the blue screen when I disconnect the iPhone.
    Thanks again for your help, it seems like I am safely syncing again
    p.s. since I can't log in as the original author you might want to have a mod mark the question as answered. thanks.

  • ITunes launches when I DISCONNECT iPhone or iPod

    I have looked around, but have not found a reason as to why iTunes is launching when I disconnect my iPhone or iPod. I do not have it set to launch when the iPhone is connected so it's only when I disconnect that iTunes launches.

    my recommendation would be you try this:
    remove iTunes completely (click here and follow the instructions), then reinstall it. download the current version from here: http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/.
    also, sometimes it helps to remove and reinstall the *Apple Mobile Device Service*. click here and follow the instructions.
    any help ?

  • HT4623 Updated my iPhone 3gs yesterday (1st time ever).  Backing up content to icloud but would not quit.  Screen would not disappear.  Finally disconnected phone from computer and lost EVERYTHING.  Can I get it back?

    Updated my iPhone 3gs yesterday to ios 6 (first time ever).  Backed up my content to icloud, but it wouldn't quit.  Remained on that screen for HOURS.  Finally disconnected phone from computer.  Still would not go away--just the "circle of death."  Restarted phone and lost EVERYTHING (pics, contacts and apps).  Can I get them back?  Are they somewhere out in cyberspace or lost for good?

    You're not alone. I am having similar problems with my Ipod 5th gen 30gb.
    When I connect it to my laptop (Vista - basic) it is not recognised by itunes. Itunes simply locks up.
    So far I have tried the following to no avail:
    Checked my pc's device manager - it recognises the device and says it is functioning properly.
    Checked the drivers to make sure they are upt to date.
    Uninstalled & reinstalled a previous version of itunes (as it worked fine before the latest release).
    Reinstalled the latest itunes.
    Reset the ipod.
    Put the ipod into disk mode and reconnected to itunes.
    Have tried to use the windows tool to scan and fix any bad sectors but it fails to complete a scan without locking that up as well.
    Placed into disk mode when fully charged and then allowed the battery to drain completely. Then reconnected ipod (in disk mode)and it still is not recognised and locks up itunes.
    At this point I dont really want to part with another $300 odd dollars for a new one.

    You're welcome.
    All photos transferred from your computer are stored in the iPhone's Photo Library regardless if you select a single album or folder of photos to be transferred or multiple albums or folders. The photos on the albums or folders of photos include a pointer to the original photos stored in the Photo Library. The photos are not duplicated taking up double the storage space. This way you can view the photos in an album or folder of photos only by selecting the album or folder, or all photos in all albums or folders by selecting Photo Library.
    Makes more sense when transferring multiple albums or folders of photos which cannot be changed when transferring only a single album or folder of photos.
    The same applies with iTunes and music playlists. A song can't be in a playlist unless it is in the main iTunes library. Placing a song in a playlist does not duplicate the song.

  • When moving my iphone from one computer to another, the apps do not follow and if I purchase an app on the new computer, it seems that all previous apps on the iphone will be lost   How do I import the previous apps to the new computer?

    When moving my iphone from one itunes computer to another, the apps installed on the original computer do not show on the new one.  How do I get those apps to be recognized on the new computer without deleting them all from my iphone as it asks. 

    These are two possible approaches that will normally work to move an existing library to a new computer.
    Method 1
    Backup the library with this User Tip.
    Deauthorize the old computer if you no longer want to access protected content on it.
    Restore the backup to your new computer using the same tool used to back it up.
    Keep your backup up-to-date in future.
    Method 2
    Connect the two computers to the same network. Share your <User's Music> folder from the old computer and copy the entire iTunes library folder into the <User's Music> folder on the new one. Again, deauthorize the old computer if no longer required.
    Both methods should give the new computer a working clone of the library that was on the old one. As far as iTunes is concerned this is still the "home" library for your devices so you shouldn't have any issues with iTunes wanting to erase and reload.
    I'd recommend method 1 since it establishes an ongoing backup for your library.
    If you have an iOS device that syncs with contact & calendar data on your computer you should migrate this information too. If that isn't possible create a dummy entry of each type in your new profile and iTunes should offer to merge the existing data from the device into the computer, otherwise the danger is that it will wipe the information from the device.
    If your media folder has been split out from the main iTunes folder you may need to do some preparatory work to make it easier to move. See make a split library portable.
    Should you be in the unfortunate position where you are no longer able to access your original library, or a backup of it, then see Recover your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device for advice on how to set up your devices with a new library with the maximum preservation of data.

  • My computer was totally destroyed & I do not have backup or external hard drive with my iTunes library. Will I be able to access my iTunes library when I purchase a new computer? It was the only computer authorized to play library.

    My computer was totally destroyed &amp; I do not have backup or external hard drive with my saved iTunes library from it. That was the only computer authorized to play library. I do not have an iPod or iPhone with any of that library (which has over $2K in music purchases &amp; over 5K in songs I ripped). Will I be able to access my iTunes library when I purchase a new computer?

    You should be able to access your past iTunes purchases. You'll need to re-rip your CDs See: HT2519 - Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store.

  • Having itunes open when ipod is connected

    Nano 4th generation--iTunes always opened when iPod was connected to computer; now it doesn't and going to Devices and scrolling down Summary to "open when ipod is connected" is greyed out and will not allow me to check it.  Even going to the iTunes preferences does not offer this selection.

    You meant that you can't place a check mark in the check box "Open iTunes when device connected" ?
    Just do a little test: Click on Music and see if you can put there a check mark.
