ITunes won't stop synching when completed

Ever since I started using my new MacBook, my 5th gen iPod won't automatically disengage when it is done synching. I have to press one of the eject buttons to do it manually.
Any suggestions?
Thanks,
Doug
MacBook Mac OS X (10.4.8)

Check your preferences and make sure that your iPod is not enabled for disk use. Connect your iPod and in when it appears in the source list click on it to see the preferences pane. In the "Summary" tab see if there is a tick in the box “enable disk use". Remove the tick from "enable disk use" and your iPod should automatically disconnect after it’s finished updating.

My sons iPod touch stopped working, it won't charge in a docking station and the computer/itunes won't recognize it when connected. We have tried holding the power and home button at the same time for several seconds, and the screen still stays black

Hello skdog I possibly think your ipod touch is black because it has not charged. If your dock is broken it might just mean the dock will be broken and so might be the USB port. You should see an Apple shop nearby and hand it over and see what they can do. I hope this information works!

My iPhone won't stop vibrating when plugged into my Macbook. All software is up to date. iTunes just gives me an error. No problems when plugged into a PC. Why the nonstop vibrating!?

My iPhone won't stop vibrating when plugged into my Macbook. All software is up to date. iTunes just gives me an error. No problems when plugged into a PC. Why the nonstop vibrating!?

When I connect it to my iMac (with up-to-date OS X Yosemite 10.9.5) - it doesn't work.
Specifically - iTunes automatically launches, but then quickly shows a dialog window that says, "iTunes could not connect to the iPhone. This device is no longer connected."
Meanwhile - on my iPhone - in the upper right-hand corner (where the battery life is displayed) - you can see the "plugged in" icon (lightening bolt) rapidly blinking on and off.
In other words - it seems like, when it's plugged in - it's rapidly connecting and disconnecting (several times per second).
If I click "OK" on that dialog window on iTunes - it instantly pops back up, and continues to do so as long as I keep the iPhone plugged in.
I have tried all and stile did not resolve my problem. I tried to restart both devices, try different cable (I have original cable). Both devices are new and software's are update it on latest versions.
Thanks in advance for any help!

My iTunes won't open. When I click on the icon nothing happens

My iTunes won't open. When I click on the icon nothing happens. It doesn't bounce or anything. When i plug my iPhone into my macbook nothing happens either. I recently updated my operating system to the Yosemite. Everything worked fine until i updated it. Has anyone else experienced this? Any suggestions?

Program folder? In general backing up and restoring application folders is not going to work. Windows programs should be installed using the appropriate installation programs.

Itunes won't load up when i click on it

itunes won't load up when i click on it , i don't even get the user agreement, i've deleted and downloaded it 5 times! and still no luck, it worked fine b4 the merged it with quicktime, can anybody help me? do i need a old version of itunes?

hi Kaegod!
itunes won't load up when i click on it , i don't even get the user agreement, i've deleted and downloaded it 5 times!
are you getting an error message when you try to launch itunes? if so, what does it say?
or are you getting no error messages whatsoever? if so, let us know the results of the following observations. (this will give us an idea of which of the three main causes of error-less launch failure we should check up on first.)
reboot the PC. open Task Manager to the Processes Tab. now try to launch itunes again.
does an itunes.exe process appear in Task Manager? if so, does it persist in there or disappear after a few seconds?
keep us posted.

ITunes won't open, even after complete uninstall/reinstall of iTunes/Qktime

Hello
This morning iTunes started refusing to open. When opened it bounces twice and then closes.
Strange, because I didn;t just update. It worked fine after my last update and up until the present. I'm not sure but it could have started happening after I plugged in my iPod Touch 16gb 2.0. I did that sometime this morning.
I did a complete uninstall/reinstall of both Itunes and Quicktime, and I also uninstalled Flip to Mac as I read here it could be related. Restarted my computer many times. Now, same problem, iTunes won't start.
I live in noisy Barcelona and i'm going crazy without tunes...

Update... so i backed up files from three folders shown below:
'User'/AppData/Roaming/Apple Computer/
'User'/AppData/Local/Apple Computer/
'User'/Music/iTunes/(all files except music and app folders)
Then I uninstalled iTunes & Quicktime
Restarted Machine
Reinstalled iTunes (which reinstalls Quicktime as well)
Opend iTunes to make sure it worked (it did), then closed it.
Copied all of the original files back over to their original locations.
Restarted iTunes
Everything appears to be back to normal (iPhone sync works properly as well)
Hope this helps for anyone else seeking an answer!

Itunes won't open automatically when I plug iphone in

I have recently had a lot of trouble syncing calendars with my iphone. I have done all sorts of restarts etc. One problem throughout (recent) is that when I plug my ipne in, itunes won't start up automatically and sync. I cannot tick the box on itunes saying "open itunes when this phone is connected" as it is pale grey and won't let me. Anyone any other ideas? Everything is updated.
I am on a mac and running Mac OS X version 10.6.7
itunes version 10.2.2 (12)

Thanks!
The likeliest possibility I can think of based on your symptoms is damaged Apple Application Support program files. (Much like iTunes versions 9.0.x, iTunesHelper requires a properly functioning Apple Application Support in order to work correctly.)
*Assuming that you don't have a Safari for Windows version 4.0.5 installed on that system,* I'd try the following technique with a 32-bit Vista:
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2256037
*If you have a Safari 4.0.5 installed on the system* we'll need to try something different. (We need to make sure that you have an Apple Application Support 1.2.0 on the PC in order for Safari 4.0.5 to work ... at the present point in time, the procedure I outline above will only put an Apple Application Support version 1.1.0 back on your PC.)

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.

AND ALSO I TOTALLY UNINSTALLED ANY OF MY
ANTIVIRIS THINGYS AND THE SPYWARE STUFF.I D/K WHAT TO
DO ANYMORE!
*~PLEZ HELP ME!~*
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!

ITunes won't stop launching

I don't know if this happens every time that Apple has a release but it seems like once they have pushed an update my iTunes goes crazy. It won't stop auto launching at will. It's doing this on all profiles and I do not have this in my auto launch application list. I also already tried to run a permission repair and this did nothing as well. The launchd is the parent service and I thought by force killing it, it might fix the problem. Needless to say that killed my session lol. I checked the permissions on the application and my files and the permissions appeared ok. Any suggestions would be helpful.
P.S. I have deleted the app before and reinstalling it but that doesn't help.

I believe I found the answer from another post. The post mentioned a Bluetooth connection problem. I looked at my Bluetooth item list and noticed that my discoverable option was on and I turned it off. I also noticed that my Bluetooth connected printer was also unavailable and think that this was the root cause.

On my MBP iTunes won't start automatically when I connect my iPhone or iPad?

Today I encountered the following problem om my MBP:
When I connect my iPhone 3GS or iPad on the MBP, iTunes (v10.2.2) doens't launch automatically.
After self-starting iTunes I can synchronise and so on.

Color wheel in itunes won't stop after syncing to my phone. Help!

I synced my iphone to my MacBook Pro last night and the color wheel still won't stop or disappear. Why does it do this and what can I do to make it stop? Does it have anything to do with iPhoto?

I moved the app and Library; I ended up removed all iTunes stuff(except) Library and reinstalled it. It now starts fresh....transferred stuff over however......I can't sync my iPhone...it says there another Library already synced....how do I know which one, I have a few(my fault).
Can I get these cleaned up somehow?
thanks!

IPad iTunes won't stop scrolling.

Gen 3 iPad. iTunes music just keeps scrolling when a specific artist/album is selected. It will play all the music on shuffle, but not if a specific album/artist is selected.

ITune won't launch automatically when iPod attached

I'm giving my brother my old Mac iPod and just reformatted it so he can start using it on his PC. Everything is working fine except that iTunes will not automatically launch when the iPod is attached. All the settings are correct and all software is installed properly. I have enabled disk use and can see that the iPod is recognized immediately because it mounts as an external drive but I wait and wait and wait and iTunes does not launch. When I launch iTunes manually, the iPod shows up in the source column within seconds. I only have Macs at home and a Sony Vaio laptop PC that I use for AutoCAD so I can only confirm this as a problem on my PC. I have MediaFour's MacDrive 6 installed and wondering if that is somehow conflicting. Any ideas on a fix for this?

macboyinsf:
My HP media center pc at home is doing exactly the same thing. My Dell at work will launch itunes automatically. My HP at home launched itunes the very first time I connected my ipod, but not since. I reloaded the software and again, itunes launched the first time, but not since. I wonder if this is a HP issue, or maybe a firewall issue (I use Zone Alarm)?
Have you found a solution to this issue since you first posted?

My itunes won't stop. Starts on it's own, plays half of the song and quits. Videos override everything.Why won't itunes quit?

My iTunes won't quit! It starts on it's own, plays half of the song, then videos take over. Make it go away!

Are you following this instructions:

Itunes has suddenly stops working when any player connected

Itunes has always worked fine on my HP laptop running Vista. With no changes in configuration or software, Itunes has suddenly stopped working any time an Ipod, Nano, or Shuffle is attached. I have tried to reinstall all software, restart computer, checked devices for updates. Have also tried solutions published on Apple support page. Nothing works. Itunes starts and works fine until a device is connected, but then I get the message that the program has stopped working and needs to close. Occasionally the whole system crashes and I get a "blue screen" error.
