Itunes wont open when connected to iphone. why?

my itunes will not open when iphone is connected.... j why?

I also have a new MB Pro running OS X 10.9.5 and a new iPhone 6. My iPhone connects to iTunes, but hangs at step 6 in the sync process -- copying apps to the iPhone. I let it run all night last night and it never got beyond the second app. This morning I upgraded to iOS 8.0.2 and have the same problem. Now I am stuck at the third app.

Itune wont open when iphone connected.

When I plug my Iphone into the computer either Itunes wont open or if it's open it wont recognize the phone. The computer shows it's connected because it always asks when program I wont to use to look at the pictures. I have tried rebooting the computer and it doesn't help. My IPOD is recognized but not the Iphone. Help!!!

I had the same thing. Here's what fixed it for me:
I had downloaded the latest iTunes (7.3) but because my existing copy of iTunes wasn't in the base, Applications folder, it didn't overwrite my existing iTunes application. Therefore, when you go to click on iTunes in your dock, or any desktop alias, etc., it's still opening the old version. Try opening the newly downloaded version (in the base, Applications folder) and try it again. I bet ya it'll work.

Update Server
Try:
- Powering off and then back on your router.
- iTunes for Windows: iTunes cannot contact the iPhone, iPad, or iPod software update server
- Change the DNS to either Google's or Open DNS servers
Public DNS — Google Developers
OpenDNS IP Addresses
- Try on another computer/network
- Wait if it is an Apple problem

Itunes wont open when i plug my ipod in

My ipod is disabled and it says connect through itunes, and i've put it in recovery mode and it has the itunes thing up when the recovery mode has worked, but the itunes thing wont pop up on the screen! Please help!

By 'wont pop up' do you mean that iTunes on your computer doesn't automatically open when you connect it to to ? If you do then if you open iTunes yourself, does it then recognise that a device in recovery mode it connected to your computer ? If not then do you have the current version of iTunes installed on your computer ?

Itunes automatically open when plugging in iphone

Before installing Lion iTunes would automaticall open when I plugged in our iPhone or iPad to the Macbook. Now it does not. I have the "Open iTunes when this iPhone is connected" box checked. What next?

Hi--so the other day, everything was working fine--when I plugged in my iphone 4, itunes opened, it synced, everything was great. I haven't yet put any music on the phone. Today, I was finally going to put music on the phone. I plugged it in and only iphoto opened. Itunes does not open automatically with plugging in the iphone, and when I open itunes, the phone doesn't show up. I've tried resetting both the phone and the computer, and have tried unplugging/re-plugging in the phone.
Any ideas?
Thanks so much in advance.
Just to cover all of your bases, are you sure that the USB cable is working and plugged into a proper USB location? I'd plug it directly into the USB port on your MacBook, not into a USB Hub.
Also, go to your Apple Menu after you connected your iPhone, open up "About this Mac." Then click on More Info. Click on USB on "contents". Your iPhone should show up in the USB list as "iPhone."
If you don't see it, there might be an issue with your USB cable or port. Just get the USB cable replaced. If it's the port, then that's outside of my skill set, but I'd make an Apple Genius appointment to fix it. If you see your iPhone, then the cable is fine, and your issue is probably with iTunes.
Go to iTunes, Preferences, then click on Devices button. Make sure that the Prevent iPods, iPhones and iPads from automatically syncing is not checked.
These are the basic things. If we can't make it work, then post back here, and someone will reply with the next thing to do.

Itunes not opening when connected

Although I have the "open iTunes when this phone is connected" option checked on my 3GS - it is not happening. Any suggestions ?

I misunderstood your first post, I thought you had an "iTunes is getting confused" problem, but now I think it is a "Windows recognises the iPod but not Itunes" problem. There is help on that here:
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=61711
But you haven't given a very complete description of your problem. You say iTunes doesn't open when you plug in your iPod. Is that a new problem and it worked before? If so has has anything changed since it started.
If you start iTunes yourself and then plug in your iPod, does iTunes recognise it and if so what are your settings in iPod options?
On the background processes, all you can do is check that they are running, you didn't say if they were.

ITune not appear when connect with iphone

iTune not appear when iphone connect with my computer (window 7)

Hello BrightGoh,
Generally for a new and unrelated question you should start a new thread.
Safari on the iPhone doesn't have the ability to download and save .exe files. The iPhone does not have the ability to store files as a storage disk.
http://manuals.info.apple.com/enUS/iPhone_UserGuide.pdf
If you check the Safari section of the manual starting on page 52, you will notice that there is no mention of being able to save such files.

Itunes wont open when i try to activate

can someone please help me...please?
when i plugged my phone in for the first time, all that opened up was iphoto...and i have tried all the troubleshooting tips apple suggests but nothing is working. does anyone know what im doing wrong?

Hey Wilcogirl7,
I had the problem of itunes not being able to open AT ALL. If this is your problem, it can be fixed by deleting all "com.apple.itunes" files in your Library's Preferences folder. Once deleted log out and then back in. If this still doesn't work then move the entire preferences folder to your desktop, log out and then back in. If that fixes the problem then you're set. If you end up moving the entire preferences folder, all of your preferences will be gone such as desktop picture, ichat prefs, etc. but easily replaceable. If it is too much work then just simply put those "com.apple...." (specific to that application) files into your new preferences folder. Let me know if this helps.

Itunes wont open. lost connection to itunes on my itouch as well.

is this a known problem? but no one seems to have given any helpful answer to this problem. its been 2days & i still cant access itunes in my laptop or my itouch.

Hello Chascott2012
Your best bet is to have access to the old computer to transfer the music to your new computer, the article below will assist with that.

Itune wont open with iphone attached

iTunes wont open when I attach my iPhone to the computer with the same USB ccable I have been using. I can open iTunes then all works fine. In iTunes the option to open iTunes when phone is attached is clicked on.
Bob

Check out this Apple document -> iTunes for Mac won't open automatically when connecting device.
You'll have to disable the "Prevent iPods, iPhones, and iPads from syncing automatically" option before you can choose to have iTunes open when the iPhone is connected.

Itunes wont open on Windows XP

I have installed, then uninstalled several times, itunes and quick time from apple.com via cable on my laptop with windows xp. All the icons are on the desktop, but itunes wont open when double clicked. I do not get any error message, only hour glass appears for a few seconds and then its gone. I turned off NIS before installing, removed temp files, deleted previous downloads, restarted computer, updated windows, turned off firewall - nothing has worked so far. Any suggestions !!!

hi Singh!
is that Norton Internet Security 2005 that you've got? if so, let's first check up on this issue:
iTunes 6 won't open on a Windows computer if firewall software is not up-to-date
... but if no joy with that, let's try the trusty Lorraine M technique:
Lorraine M: NIS/itunes problem rectified
but if no joy with either of those, we'd better check up on this issue, which can produce the same symptoms you're reporting (no error messages whatsoever and a "two-second hourglass"):
iTunes for Windows doesn't open after upgrading
keep us posted
