Itunes wont open automatically when ipod is connected

any idea why?

Launch iTunes.
From the iTunes menu bar top of your screen click iTunes > Preferences then select the Devices tab.
Deselect:  Prevent iPods, iPhones, and iPads from syncing automatically
Click OK.
Now connect your iPod to your computer.
Select the iPod under Devices left side of the iTunes window in the source list.
Now select the Summary tab.
Select:  Open iTunes when this <device> is connected

  • ITunes doesn't start automatically when ipod is connected.

    Even though I have clicked on the place that says itunes will start automatically when iPod is connected to pc, it doesn't. I have to click on iTunes everytime, and then it takes a while to run.
    Anyone have any ideas what might be the problem?

    hi joyful!
    just checking. reboot the PC, and prior to launching itunes or plugging in the ipod, bring up your Task Manager to the "processes" tab.
    is there an iTunesHelper.exe running in your processes?

  • How to "Open iTunes automatically when iPod is connected"....

    ...without having them sync automatically?  I'm able to do this on my MBP just fine.  The solution on my MBP is to uncheck "prevent ipods, ipads, iphones from syncing automatically" under Devices Preferences.  Then I'm able to check "Open iTunes when Ipod is connected" under my iPod's Summary Options.  After that i can then go back a uncheck "prevents Ip.... from syncing automatically". 
    Unfortunately, this option doesn't seem to be available to Windows users.  or is it?
    Thanks,
    Mike

    this will solve half of my issue while coincidentally causing the other half of it. 
    I want to be able to:
    Open iTunes automatically when iPod is connected
    AND
    Prevent my ipod from syncing automatically *(when this is enabled the prior feature becomes disabled)

  • Why does iTunes no longer open automatically when iPad is connected?

    Why does iTunes no longer open automatically when iPad is connected? and iPhone as well?  Setting to "auto open" is selected, but iTunes will not open automatically. Problem seems to have begun with upgrade to Lion.

    Good luck getting an answer...I posted the same question a day ago.   I can only assume it's a glitch in iTunes 10.5.

  • Itunes wont open and when re-installed received this msg: Service Apple mob device failed to start.  You have insufficent privileges to start system svc.  Help?

    Itunes wont open and when re-installed received this msg: Service Apple mob device failed to start.  You have insufficent privileges to start system svc.  Help?

    Download Itunes from Apple.com, not from within Itunes.
    Redo the install, following the below procedure.   However, when you re-install Itunes,  right click and run the install as administrator.   For Win 7, you have to hold down the cntrl and shift keys when you right click and then "run as administrator" will be an option.
    Go to Control Panel > Add or Remove Programs (Win XP) or Programs and Features (Vista, Win 7 & later)
    Remove all of these items in the following order:
    iTunes
    Apple Software Update
    Apple Mobile Device Support (if this won't uninstall move on to the next item)
    Bonjour
    Apple Application Support
    Reboot, download iTunes, then reinstall, either using an account with administrative rights, or right-clicking the downloaded installer and selecting Run as Administrator.
    The uninstall and reinstall process will preserve your iTunes library and settings, but ideally you would back up the library and your other important personal documents and data on a regular basis. See this user tip for a suggested technique.
    Please note:
    Some users may need to follow all the steps in whichever of the following support documents applies to their system. These include some additional manual file and folder deletions not mentioned above.

    iTunes used to start automatically when I connected iTunes. It no longer does. Can I fix that?

    Connect your iPod and open iTunes. Towards the bottom of the iPod screen, there are four check boxes. The top one says "Open iTunes when iPod is connected." Check that box and click apply. If it is checked, uncheck it and click apply, eject and reconnect your iPod, then recheck it and click apply.

  • Itunes will not start when ipod is connected

    3G nano ipod when connected to windows xp,, Windows Expoler opens and shows ipod as "M" drive. But itunes starts only when I click icon on my desktop and dose not start when ipod is connected. When itunes runs it sees my ipod and all works fine. I have the box under Devices checked to start itunes when ipod connected. Thanks for your help

    Hello Loggroller,
    And welcome to Apple Discussions!
    Are you talking about the *Open iTunes when this iPod is connected* option from under your iPod's Summary tab? If not, make sure you have this option ticked as well.
    It might not hurt to try and remove and re-install iTunes and all Apple related software using these instructions.

  • IPhoto opens automatically when iPhone is connected

    iPhoto for Mac (Yosemite) opens automatically when iPhone (iOS 8) is connected. I have "no application" chosen in iPhoto preferences and Image Capture has no preference options in the menu. I can find nothing in System Preferences OS X 10 or in Setting iOS 8. Where do I turn off the automatic iPhoto start?

    This is most likely because it is  asking you to choose photos to sync to your computer. I don't know how to get rid of it though. Hope you find the answer!
