My iPhone 3GS no longer opens iTunes when connected.

My iPhone 3GS no longer opens iTunes when connected. Not since recent big update. It is ticked to open on connection.
Any pointers to a solution.
TIA

I have the exact same problem. And my wife's iphone 5 also has the same problem. Anyone knows the resolution? It worked fine before we restored both phones. Thanks.

Back up all data.
Triple-click anywhere in the line below on this page to select it:
~/Library/Application Support/SyncServices
Right-click or control-click the line and select
Services ▹ Reveal in Finder (or just Reveal)
from the contextual menu.* A folder should open with an item selected. Quit the application if it's running. Move the selected item to the Trash. Relaunch the application and test.
*If you don't see the contextual menu item, copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. In the Finder, select
Go ▹ Go to Folder...
from the menu bar and paste into the box that opens by pressing command-V. You won't see what you pasted because a line break is included. Press return.

I want to use my IPOD Classic 160gb for notepad entries in addition to the music and books I listen to. It is set to "Open ITunes when connected to computer" and "manually manage music and videos". How can I do that without losing some of the features

I want to use my IPOD Classic 160gb for notepad entries in addition to the music and books I listen to. It is set to "Open ITunes when connected to computer" and "manually manage music and videos". How can I do that without losing some of the features of those two? I just want to add a feature. Thanks

Settings>Store (or iTunes & App Stores if you are running iOS6)>Apple ID. Tap your son's ID and sign out. Sign in with your ID and password.
You shouldn't lose the music, but if you try to update any apps that you bought with the family ID, you will have to use that password that is linked with that ID in order to update.
Avoid downloading past purchased content with the old ID if you can since you will associate the iPad with the old ID for 90 days and you will lock yourself out of your own, new ID for that period of time. Read more about associated devices in iTunes here.

Not automatically opening iTunes when connected

I used to connect my iTouch to my computer and iTunes would automatically open, now it doesn't. The only preference I see that would do it is when I connect the iTouch and manually open iTunes then I see my iTouch under Devices and I click Summary and under options I check "open iTunes when this iPod is connected" yet it doesn't open when I connect. Any ideas? Version 4.3.5 30 GB - iTunes version 10.4.1

Found the answer. It's a slight variation on a post from a few years ago on the same problem. Go to the iTunes application - right click - go to show package content - then contents and instead of going down to resourses go to MacOS folder and then go to iTunesHelper and drag it over to the login items in the accounts area in your system preferences. It worked for me so far.

Iphone does not appear in itunes when connected to XP computer

I have the latest version of itunes and iphone software. When I connect my iphone 3GS through a USB to my computer (windows XP), the computer recognises the device as a hard drive in "my computer" and I can import photos. However Itunes when opened up no longer recognises the phone and so I cannot sync or set parameters etc. This has happened with my childrens ipods as well on a different XP computer. I have used several usb leads but same problem. Any ideas? Many thanks. Mark

Sounds like a ruined iTunes install iTunes require a number of services running if an overzealosch firewall or rights settings or "optimisme" program stopped any of those what you exp happens

IPhone does not appear in iTunes when connected

After installing new iTunes update, my phone is no longer recognized when I attempt to sync and has been running very very low lately. HELP PLEASE!

Thanks to recmd for directing me to the solution for iTunes not "seeing" my iPhone!!
https://discussions.apple.com/message/11761418?messageID=11761418 is the link, but I will recap it here:
Win XP machines that are seeing the iPhone as a camera or portable drive, but not showing in iTunes should do this - takes 5 minutes!!
Connect iPhone
Open Control Panel
double click on System
choose Hardware tab
click Device Manager
find iPhone - probably under Imaging Devices
right click iPhone
choose Properties
click driver tab
choose Update Driver
select "Install from list or specific location" and click Next
choose "Don't search, I will choose the driver to install" and click next
there should be 2 drivers listed; highlight Apple Mobile Device driver
click ok
iPhone should now connect
close out of Device Manager and Control Panel
open iTunes and see your iPhone appear!!
You may have to do this with all phones that you sync.
Hope this helps - it worked for the phones in our family!

IPhone 3GS blocks email to laptop when connected to home network

A friend of mine just purchased a new iPhone 3GS and when he is connected to his home wifi his email account with Charter on his laptop becomes inactive and goes offline. The circle exclamation point icon appears next to his inbox and the message displayed is:
Unable to Receive Mail. The mail server denied access to the account "Charter" because an administrator or other mail client was using it when Mail tried to log in. Please try again later. The server error uncounted was: account is locked by another session or for maintenance, try again.
If I turn off wifi in the iPhone settings Mail goes back online functions correctly. If the iPhone is asleep Mail will occasionally turn back on and deliver.
At first I thought there was an issue with the mail being set as an IMAP account but after changing to POP I realized that is not it. I think it has to do with the settings of the router which neither of us know much about. This was set up by a third party and I'm not sure if I should go about resetting it. I keep my personal network pretty simple and this one has a lot of complex settings.
Anyone have a thought or suggestion?

Your friends company only allows a single email client to connect from a single external IP address. One in, one out.

Since installing 10.5, Itunes will no longer open automatically when I connect my Iphone or insert a CD. Nor will it, when I insert a CD, recognize the CD unless I close Itunes and open it again. Any ideas?

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.

Hey KEBENNETT,
It sounds like you've restored Windows on your PC and iTunes is no longer opening and running normally.
I'd recommend using the instructions found at step 4 and 5 in this article to repair or remove/reinstall your iTunes installation:

All the best,

'Open Itunes When This iPhone Is connected' option disabled by default

since latest upgrade and ios 4.2.1 my itunes has
disabled this option for my iphone 3gs, i dont have option to select or deselect

Yes,.. Open iTunes-Preferences-Devices- then uncheck "Prevent iPods, iPhones, and iPads from syncing automatically". select OK. Done!

HT1209 I've successfully imported the videos I've shot with my iphone5 into iphoto on my MacBookPro but they're only showing up as still shots, ie the imported videos don't play! Itunes no longer opens automatically when syncing!

I've successfully imported the videos I've shot with my iphone5 into iphoto on my MacBookPro but they're only showing up as still shots, ie the imported videos don't play! Itunes no longer opens automatically when syncing, and when I open itunes it shows that there are zero "home movies" in there, meaning that it never grabbed the videos from my phone either. What to do? Thanks!

tl:dr?
Really?
There was a short version expressly for people who weren't bothered to read a myriad of text.
Meh, not that it matters anymore. I ended up redownloading 70-odd albums, so I have the bulk of my music back. And I still have no idea what iTunes did with my files, but I'll make sure it never does it again.
I would thank you for the help but you were utterly useless. Oh well, carry on.
