Itunes won't start when i plug in my ipod Touch

When I plug my iPod Touch into my computer iTunes will not launch.
I have iTunes version 9.0.3.15 and Windows Vista Pro.
I checked in services and "iTunesHelper.exe" ; "Apple Mobile Device" ; "iPod Service" are all started and set to automatic
Under OPTIONS in the summary tab within iTunes "Open iTunes when this iPod is attached" is greyed out and I am not able to select it.
What am I missing that keeps iTunes from opening on its own?

Under OPTIONS in the summary tab within iTunes "Open iTunes when this iPod is attached" is greyed out and I am not able to select it.
Good Lord. I'm not sure that I've ever seen this hit someone in quite this context, but that's consistent with a blown-out iTunes preferences file (a greyed-out option that can't be selected).
Before messing with your preference files, I think we'd better check to see if this is a user-account specific problem. (There's a different set of iTunes preferences files in each Vista user account ... so if it's a blown-out pref file causing your issue in the usual user account, you should be able to get iTunes launching when an ipod is plugged in in a different user account.)
From the Start menu, choose Control Panel.
Open Add or remove user accounts (If using the Classic View in Windows Vista, open User Accounts. Then open Manage another account).
Select Create a new account and follow the instructions to complete the account setup process. (Give the new user account full administrative rights.)
Once the new account is created, choose Log Off from the Start menu. Log into the newly created user account. (Don't use fast user switching to move between accounts.)
Open iTunes in the new user account. The iTunes setup assistant will run. Don't add any files when prompted ... just let her open eventually to an empty library.
Now go "Edit > Preferences". Click the "Devices" tab. Check the "Prevent ipods and iphones from syncing automatically" box. Click OK.
Now quit iTunes. Stay in the new user account. Plug the Touch in. *(Do not associate the Touch with the empty library!)*
Does iTunes launch for you? Or do you get the same trouble as in the usual user account?

Itunes does not open when I plug in my ipod

itunes does not open when I plug in my ipod mini!
A window opens with the name of my ipod kiwi(E:) & a picture of a disk drive next to it.
I have to manually open itunes. No error messages pops up, so I can't figure out what's preventing the system from recognizing my ipod. In the system tray in an icon safely remove hardware if I it click my ipod ejects. My ipod still charges as normal.
Open itunes when this ipod is attached is checked off
Enable disk use is checked off
I ran a scan no malware
Windows XP

So you connect the iPod containing a hard drive. I would guess you are using USB, right? Then Windows opens a window (wow, that's repetative) that identifies this as a USB hard drive.
Am I close?
It sounds like you've told the iPod to act in Disk Mode. On the same preferences pane that you are telling iTunes to open, uncheck the box for enable disk mode. the mini should stop telling your computer it is a hard drive.

I have just updated to itunes 11 and when I plugged in my ipod classic it locked up. When I tried again it said my ipod was corrupt and advised I reset it. I reluctantly did this as I lost all my music and now itunes just locks up when I plug in my ipod.

Not if you first do a sync and have iTunes make a backup. However, if your only copy of the iTunes data is in the Touch, then you need to first copy the data to a new iTunes Library using third-party software such as Phone To Mac.

Disabling iTunes from automatically starting when Headphone plugged in

Hi, I have a Macbook Pro running OS X Yosemite Ver 10.10.1. Whenever I plug in my Apple headphone it in, the iTunes automatically starts and I would like to disable the same. Some times its very much annoying where in, even if I am talking on FaceTime using my head phone, (I am guessing some small movements of headphone triggering this) the iTunes starts automatically and the songs start to play during the FaceTime call.
Does any one know how to disable the iTunes from not starting up automatically, whenever a Headphone is inserted into Mac. I can start iTunes whenever I want like any other application. But I just don’t want any automatic starting of iTunes, when I plug the headphone! Appreciate any help in this regard. Thanks!

I think the following solution seems to work:
+ Go to the  - System Preferences - Users and groups //Need admin privilege and unlock to edit etc.
+ Remove iTunes from Login Items
+ Click Login Items
+ then select iTunes Helper and then the - to remove the application
+ Force quit the iTunes if it was already running
Problem did not seem to reoccur in my case. I have not restarted the mac but it seemed to work! Try yours and update please.

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 synch when I plug in ipod. I have Win 8. It worked with Win 7

It worked when I had Win 7. The music is in Ituned, but won't go on the Ipod touch. I also have Ipod Nano 4 & same thing. I thot I updated Itunes to work with Win 8, but how do I make sure?
Thank you

What exactly happens when you try to sync?
Does iTunes see the iPod?
Was the iPod previous synced to another iTunes library/computer?
Have you successfully synced from this iTunes library/computer before?
If so have you done anything like update iTunes on the computer since it last successfully synced?
Do the songs play in iTunes?
Does any media now sync to the iPod?
Do you have the right boxes checked to sync?

Autoplay dialog won't open when I plug in my iPod Touch 4th gen

Hello!
I need to take my iPod into be fixed because it has a cracked screen and I'm trying to import my photos onto my laptop (Windows 7) but when I plug my iPod in nothing happens except the iTunes window pops up. I went into Autoplay and made sure that the setting said "Ask me every time" and then I restarted my laptop but that hasn't helped!
The iPod won't show up in Windows underneath computer.
I then went into accessories and right-clicked "command prompt" and typed in shellhwdetection and I restarted my laptop again but that hasn't helped either!
Any suggestions/ideas will be greatly appreciated!

HELP! iTunes is encountering errors when I plug in my iPod

I have an 8-gig second generation iPod Touch. For a few months now I have been unable to sync my iPod due to the fact that when I plug it in it says that "iTunes has encountered a problem and needs to close", I've sent an error report numerous times but, as you know, that doesn't help.
I can still load music onto my iTunes and it works fine, also, my brother (who had the exact same iPod and uses the same PC as me) is fine with his iPod, he can sync it and everything. Can someone tell me what on Earth is happening?!
Thanks, in advance.

"Faulting application itunes.exe, version 9.0.2.25, faulting module quicktime.qts, version 7.65.17.80, fault address 0x00909a47."
Hmmmm. If we take it at its word, it's an issue with your QuickTime. I'm not convinced that that's the fundamental cause of your issue here, Zypo, but we should probably first try swapping out your QuickTime just in case.
Download and save a fresh copy of the "standalone" QuickTime installer to your hard drive (don't run the install on line). Get the version that doesn't mention iTunes:
http://www.apple.com/quicktime/download/
Quit iTunes if you have it open. (ITunes uses QuickTime, and if iTunes is open, it'll interfere with the uninstall.)
Now head into your Add or Remove Programs control panel. Uninstall QuickTime.
Next, we'll clear away any leftover QuickTime program files or folders.
(1) In "My Computer" open "Local Disk (C:)" or whichever drive your program files are installed on.
(2) Open the "Program files" folder.
(3) Right-click on the QuickTime folder (if it still exists) and select "Delete".
(4) Go back into "Local Disk (C:)" or whichever drive your program files are installed on.
(5) Open the "Windows" folder.
(6) Open the "system32" folder.
(7) Check for the presence of a QuickTime and a QuickTimeVR file. If either file still exists, delete each of them.
Empty the Recycle Bin and restart the PC. Now reinstall QuickTime by doubleclicking the QuickTimeInstaller.exe file you downloaded earlier.
Does the install go through okay? If so, try launching iTunes and plugging in the ipod again.
Still crashing, or does it work better this time?

I Bought my iPad in usa, now, i live in norway and iTunes won't respond when i plug it in to iTunes, any ideas why? FYI my pc is nowegian.

Need help now!

Do you remeber the exact (or close to it) wording of the error message?
Try manually placing the iPod in Recovery mode and then try to restore
Next try DFU mode.

ITunes shuts down when I plug in my iPod

I've used my iPod without a problem since Christmas. For the past week, when I plug in my iPod, iTunes shuts down due to an unnamed error.
I have reinstalled all my USB drivers, removed all of my Apple software twice and reinstalled it twice (once with the guidance of an Apple tech via phone). The Apple tech guy sent me to the Apple store to replace my iPod, which I did. But none of that has fixed the problem.
So now, I'm left with an empty iPod that can't sync with my library because iTunes keeps shutting down when I plug in the iPod. The people at the Apple store said they couldn't help me further because I have a PC. The people at Microsoft won't take any responsibility because iTunes is an Apple product. So, I'm left with a $200 iPod that is suddenly for some unexplained reason, shutting down iTunes. So now, both the iPod and iTunes are worthless.
Does anybody know how to fix this problem? I'm a singer and depend upon my iPod for rehearsal, so I need it fixed ASAP. Any help would be much appreciated.

Sorry I wasn't very clear the first time. Changing the Drive Letter is done through Disk Management in Windows. I suggested you open the itunes preferences in hopes that you would then be able to connect your ipod without it crashing.
To change the drive letter:
Since we know this trick works
First open itunes, then select Edit-Preferences and leave this open.
Then, follow the steps [here|http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1493]
I use Q, R and T for my ipods so the computer doesn't confuse it with other removable devices.

ITunes won't start up when connecting iPhone

My wife has been having this trouble for awhile, and now I started having the same trouble too. She has an iMac G5 running latest versions of Leopard and iTunes. I have a Power Mac G4 (Gigabit Ethernet model) running the latest version of Tiger and iTunes I also have a USB 2.0 PCI card which has already been tested and is operating properly. Both of our iPhones are the original model running iPhone 2.0, but this problem was happening on her setup before the 2.0/MobileMe fiasco.
Basically, iTunes won't start on her machine when she sets her iPhone into the iPhone Dock, even though it does show that it is charging. When she clicks iTunes, it syncs new data from her iMac to her iphone, but new data on her iPhone doesn't transfer to her iMac (remember, this is BEFORE the MobileMe/2.0 update). I've tried different sync cables, plugging it in to different USB ports, and always it's the same- it may work properly when I unplug the cable and plug it back in again, but after I remove the iPhone from its dock and set it back in, it malfunctions the same as I just described. It initiates a sync if iTunes is running, but not if iTunes is shut down. The crazy thing is, her syncing was working perfectly both ways until about two months before the MobileMe/2.0 switch, so I know it has nothing to do with that.
Today, my Power Mac and iPhone started displaying the same symptoms, but with a twist- I put my iPhone into its cradle, and nothing- no charging screen and tone, no syncing startup, nothing. I turn iTunes off, pull the iPhone out of the cradle, and set it back in again- nothing. iTunes won't even start up; and when I start it up myself, it still doesn't recognize the iPhone is there. I plug the iPhone into a wall charger using the same cable I sync with, and it starts charging with no problems. I plug my iPhone cradle back into my external USB hub, connected to one of the USB 1.1 ports, and the syncing/charging works flawlessly. The weird thing is, my 4th Generation iPod Photo is on a different dock with a different cable, plugged into the same USB 2.0 card, and iTunes starts and syncs with no problems with that iPod every time.
I've taken my wife's iMac, her iPhone, and her iPhone dock and cable in to the Apple Store's Genius Bar, but they weren't able to figure out the problem. They tried to redirect the syncing issues by trying to demonstrate iPhone 2.0's wireless push/pull capabilities, but they couldn't get that to work properly, even though all the settings on the imac and the iPhone were correct. All they could suggest was that I must have had a "bad upgrade" when I upgraded to Leopard (6 months ago?!?), and that I should try an "Archive and Install" of Leopard again to see if that sorts out the issue- something I do not really have the time to do (and my wife can't really be without her Mac for that long since she uses it for work).
I see a lot of similar issues on Apple's iPhone support pages with iTunes not recognizing iPhones when they're plugged in, or not charging when plugged in, etc. I've spent a lot of money on our Macs and our iPhones based on the idea (from Apple's own marketing) that Apple's products "just work". And darn it, with all the money I've invested into these products I just want them to WORK- EVERY TIME, without fail! These are the kind of problems I left behind in the Windows world, and I don't want their ugly heads to surface here too.

Hi yesy
If you are sure you disabled your AV/antispy and you get the flash of a licence it sounds like you may have a malware infection. Look out for posts by b noir and get hold of ewido - its a free AV programme - google and you should find.
BTW, you may be in Florida and I'm in the UK, but don't shout - you're just next door in cyberspace!:) I understand your frustration coz I've been in your place. There are some really helpful folks on this forum - seek, and you shall find!
