Welcome to Apple Discussions!
First see this to get your nano disconnected...
How to Safely Disconnect
Now, is iTunes opening at all, with or without the iPod nano connected? See if either of these links helps at all.
iTunes Does Not Open Or Unexpectedly Quits
iTunes Does Not Open If Firewall Software Is Not Up To Date
iTunes Does Not Open After Upgrading
Also, make sure iTunes and the iPod software are both up to date...

Itunes wont automatically open when ipod is connected

Hello there
basically the above ^^ itunes wont open automatically when ipod is connected ive tried the 5 steps and ive also tried the whole tray and exit thing its not WORKING!
all help much apprciated thanks

I have a interesting hunch that somehow Windows is doing something to you...
One thing you might want to see is if within Windows if the iPod service is running... As there are certain services which automatically get installed when itunes is loaded. These notice the device and loads the app..
Just for reference, here are my Windows Services and their status:
Apple Mobile Device - Started & Automatic
Bonjour - Started & Automatic
iPod Service - Started & Manual
I thought that a 4th service existed, but can't find it...
Have you tried uninstalling iTunes and downloading to reinstall it again, that might help.. Or else it has something deeper do to with your computer itself!
That's about all I can offer right now.

Itunes displays two playlists when nano is connected?

My sons 8 gig nano refuses to sync up and download some albums, video downloads and album art.
A message says there are two accounts in itunes which I guess is related to the title of this thread, two separate lists of playlists show in the source column when he's connected. One list is directly under the "device" and has no heading saying "playlists" The other list looks normal.
After exploring several menu options I'm trying to help but increasingly confused at how his itunes seems to be corrupted.....or is it.

The playlist listed under "DEVICES" is referring to content on the iPod. If you have content in iTunes that is not syncing to the iPod, take a look at your sync preferences. Click on the iPod's name directly beneath DEVICES in the source pane. This should take you to the iPod Summary page. Which options are selected?

ITunes hangs "not responding" when nano 5g connected to PC

Hi,
Just bought my wife a Nano 5g for her birthday to replace her old broken 2nd gen version.
Plugged it in, iTunes fired up as usual, except it complained that v9 is needed.
V9 downloaded and installed, but hangs when ipod connected, task manager shows as "not responding"
I've tried: uninstalling and reinstalling itunes; Changing usb cables and usb port; Also tried on another PC.
Same thing happens.
Is this a dud ipod? What are my options?
Been an ipod user for years and have always hated itunes as a piece of software and this could well be the final straw.
Help needed please.
Thanks,
Dave

I have used the nano on XP Home and Vista with no problems. So I would keep looking for a solution on your home system. If you are running service pack 3 and all the latest updates for iTunes and the firmware for you nano, you should be good.
You might start thinking about things that are on your home system that are not on the system at work. Maybe anti virus software, etc. that kind of thing. I don't know anything specific regarding anti virus software, just using that as an example that might play into it.
My system running XP home has avast anti virus, steam and a bunch of games installed. I also have some Logitech drivers installed for their keyboards, mice, etc. but that is really it.

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?

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.

Is there a way to prevent iTunes from starting up when connecting an iPad to my Macbook?

Is there a way to prevent iTunes from starting up when connecting an iPad to my Macbook? We use Apple Configurator and would love to be able to set up the MacBook to open Apple Configurator when we plug in an iPad.

When you connect the device open iTunes and select it from the sidebar. Click on the Summary tab in the main window. Uncheck the option to automatically connect to iTunes. You will find it in the collection of options near the lower part of the window.

Satellite Pro L850 wont start up when USB3 cable to Dynadock is connected

Hello,
I have a new L850 and Dynadock ( PA3927A-1PRP). The L850 wont start up when the USB 3 is connected and the screen flashes gray then black. If I remove the USB3 then the L850 will start up and if I then reinsert the cable it continues to start and work fine.
I have uninstalled and then reinstalled the Dynadock viewer drivers from the Toshiba website.
Perhaps I have the cables in the wrong slots? It is connected as per the Dynadock quick start guide.
I would appreciate some assistance.
Thanks - Mark

ITunes wont start up

Hi, i had a look on this answer to a topic : itunes wont start :
+The QuickTime problem is most likely causing the iTunes launch problem. So let's try swapping out your QuickTime again taking a few additional explicit precautions.+
+Head into your Add/Remove programs. uninstall QuickTime.+
+Next, we’ll manually remove any leftover program files and folders.+
+1. On the Start menu, click My Computer (or double-click My Computer on the Desktop).+
+2. In My Computer, open Local Disk.+
+3. Open Program Files.+
+4. Right-click on the QuickTime folder and click Delete from the shortcut menu.+
+5. Navigate to C:\Windows\system32\.+
+6. Remove the files QuickTime.qts and QuicktimeVR.qtx. (If “Hide filename extensions for known file types” is enabled on the PC, then those two files will appear as “QuickTime” and QuickTimeVR”.)+
+7. Restart your computer.+
+Next, we'll get a fresh copy of QuickTime into your PC by doing a repair install of itunes.+
+Switch off antivirus and antispyware applications prior to the repair install.+
+Go into Add/Remove and select itunes. Click "Change" and then click "Repair".+
but when it comes to install/uninstall an error comes out : An error ocured while installation
and i cant get rid of it. Pls help. Any ideas? Thx. J

but when it comes to install/uninstall an error comes out : An error ocured while installation
Let's try getting the program uninstalled by other means then.
Download and install the Windows Installer CleanUp utility:
Description of the Windows Installer CleanUp Utility
Now run the utility (“Start > All Programs > Windows Install Clean Up”), select any QuickTime entries in the list of programs that appears in CleanUp, and then click “Remove”.
Next, we’ll manually remove leftover program files and folders.
1. On the Start menu, click My Computer (or double-click My Computer on the Desktop).
2. In My Computer, open Local Disk.
3. Open Program Files.
4. Right-click on the QuickTime folder and click Delete from the shortcut menu.
5. Navigate to C:\Windows\system32\.
6. Remove the files QuickTime.qts and QuicktimeVR.qtx. (If “Hide filename extensions for known file types” is enabled on the PC, then those two files will appear as “QuickTime” and QuickTimeVR”.)
7. Restart your computer
Does the repair install go through properly now? Or do you get another error message when you try the repair install?

Itunes wont start, computer says to download latest version 7.5

iTunes wont start, solution computer gives it to download latest version 7.5. nut when i download it and install 7.5 on my computer, which i have done several times, it doesn't work and says i should download the latest update.....which i already have! is it Vista related, or is relating to version 7.5?....please help me!!

I'll post the same thing I posted in another thread; it might help you. Reinstall itunes again according to my post. Some of the information is irrelevant to your problem, but hey, i'm kinda feeling lazy. You'll get the idea. Here it is.....
"this is just a suggestion. If you reinstall itunes again, make sure you follow the directions in the support section of this site for uninstalling itunes and quicktime. Another thing they don't say in that article that I did when i had to uninstall itunes was to do a search. You know, pressing the start button and then "Search". Make sure when you do, click the search "All files and folders". Then set it to look in "Local Hard Drives (C:)" and type in the "all or part of the file name" itunes. After the search is done you should have a bunch of different itunes components in the results. Btw do the same for quicktime as a search. Make sure to DELETE every itunes and quicktime file there. If some of your music files happened to come up in the search use commone sense. Get rid of every component so itunes and quicktime is completely erased from the system. Make sure that you do this after you've restarted your computer once (according to the uninstallation article). Then just empty your recycle bin, reboot your computer, and finally reinstall itunes. Hopefully that will work to at least get rid of that APP error. Good luck and ask me anything you have some questions!!"
Hope that works!
