No automatic iTunes launch with iPhone on Lion

I have iTune set up to automatically launch when connecting my iPhone to my Mac. It does not work after upgrading to Lion. I have to manually launch iTunes. Any Ideas? Should I uninstall iTunes and reinstall to fix it?

Have the same issue outline here:

ITunes auto launch with iPhone

Hello everybody.
A very small problem...
The box "Open iTunes when this iPhone is connected" stays grey. It is impossible to check it. Anytime. But syncing works great and everything is normal.
Mac Os 10.6.3 iTunes 9.1.1 and iPhone 3GS (3.1.3).
Thanks for your help.
Pat.

Solved. Just deleting the user iTunesprefs.
Everything's ok now.
Bye.

Stop iTunes launching when iphone is supervised by another computer

I'm testing an iPhone for work and as a pre-existing iPhone and iPad user, have a small USB hub to charge and sync my devices. The problem I now have is that whenever I connect my work iPhone (a 5c), iTunes launches itself and then tells me that "this iPhone is supervised by another computer and cannot be used with this computer". Of course this means I can't tell iTunes not to launch when I connect that device as there are no device-specific settings accessible to me.
Is there any way of forcing iTunes to stop its (frankly silly) behaviour of launching whenever I connect any iOS device?
I've already turned this function off for the three devices I own so if there is a global setting somewhere, I'd appreciate a pointer. Otherwise it looks like I'll need a separate power feed just to charge this one device.
Thanks,
Guy

The phone was not properly reset by the previous owner. You can try deleting any profiles on the phone in Settings. If that fails try Settings/General/Reset - Erase all content and settings. And if that fails it is probably a stolen phone.

Why won't iTunes sync with Iphone 4s after upgrade?

I recently upgraded to iTunes 10.7.0.21, now my iPhone 4s will not sync via iCloud or my computer. When I plug the phone in, it starts a sync session like normal but it will not complete the sync. I get an error message that says "iTunes could not sync information to the iPhone "Scotty's" because a connection could not be established to the iPhone. Yet, the phone shows up in iTunes.

I'm having the same issue. iTunes sees my iPhone 4 and I can access the contents via itunes, but the sync won't work - it starts to sync, then states, "waiting for sync to start," then after a few minutes ends up with an error, stating, "The iPhone "XXXX" could not be synced because the sync session failed to start." This happens whether I try to sync with iCloud or my computer.
I tried rebooting the iPhone, rerstarting the computer (Mac Pro with 10.8.1), switching out the cable - all to no effect.
I downloaded iOS 6, but I didn't want to install it until I can successfully perform a backup with my computer - just in canse iOS 6 install fails.
Any ideas or suggestions?

ITunes freezes with iPhone, when connected to network

iTunes started to freeze with latest version (9), when iPhone is connected.
I tryed everything from the Apple support page:
http://support.apple.com/kb/ts1421
The last sentence on that page is "Disconnect your computer from the Internet"
iTunes is working well with iPhone, when network is disabled, but how I can fix it? What could be the problem?

Hey Hoods ginest,
Check out the following article, it'll go over how to sync your photos to your iPhone using iTunes:
iOS and iPod: Syncing photos using iTunes
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4236
You'll want to read the section titled "Syncing photos to devices" and then "To sync photos from a folder on your hard disk to your device."
Take care,
David

Wierd problem in iTunes Match with iPhone 5

iPhone 5 with iOS6. I have a wierd problem. I have iTunes Match turned on. All of my songs show up when I tap Songs. All of my playlists appear when I tap on Playlists. Great. BUT, when I tap on Artists (my preferred view) it says No Music. What the heck?!? Works fine (great even) on my iPad.

I'm having the same problem. I can access my itunes match on iphone 5 via wifi, but when I'm using 3G/4G/LTE in get a error message stating my membership has expired. This only happens on the iphone 5. It didnt happen on my 4S and nor does it happen with my "New" ipad Verizon. I'm not getting kind of help via itunes express, which *****. I'm starting to realize the iphone 5 is a piece of junk.

Remote's Icon over Screen and Automatic iTunes Launch

Sometimes when I'm watching a movies using VLC and I hit remote to change volume, this icon appears over the screen http://img97.imageshack.us/i/screenshot20091031at846.png/
Then it disappears in a couple of seconds.
Any idea what is that and why is it there?
Also, when I'm watching a movie using VLC and I want to use the remote to pause the playback, it automatically launches iTunes and it starts playing music in the background which is kind of annoying. I tried to deactivate the iTunes Helper, but then iTunes won't launch automatically when I connect my iPhone, iPod etc. Any idea how to resolve this?

I used to be a believer in Mac OS reliability that never needed to resort to a clean install...
Unfortunately, my experiences since 10.5 have proven that OS X is no longer as foolproof as it once was, having no other recourse but to do clean installs to resolve maddening issues.
And no, I've never been a true Windoze user, having started on an Apple ][+ with 128k memory and lower-case mod option.
At any given time for most of my latter life, I am running or maintaining at least 4 Macs concurrently in one configuration or another, and having also been a commercial print and graphics business owner running an all-Mac shop, so I am definitely more exposed to any issues that may arise with OS X.
So I can assure you that having to do clean installs of OS X has been increasingly required post 10.4 to avoid or resolve problems. I wish it wasn't so.
For all the issues I've encountered that I couldn't resolve other than doing a clean reinstall, no one has been able to provide an alternative solution to those problems.
Anyways, I will try your suggestion and hopefully it will bear fruit!

"required folder cannot be found" error in iTunes 11 with iphone 5

I'm getting the "Attempting to copy to the disk "Macintosh HD" failed. The required folder cannot be found" error when I sync my iPhone with iTunes. I haven't split my iTunes media library or moved it to an external drive--everything's on the internal hard drive on my 2011 iMac, which is running 10.6.8 and iTunes 11.05. (I was also getting the error on iTunes 10.XX--thought the upgrade might help, but the error persists.) So does this mean my iPhone is NOT really backing up to my hard drive when I get this error? The Summary page for my phone in iTunes still updates the sync date and time each time I try to sync, so it looks as if the backup is actually occuring. How can I get this message to go away?

Try creating a new itunes library. Just move your music folder somewhere else for a while, and itunes should create a new one on launch. (Quit itunes before moving).
Now try downloading you music again. You shouldn't have to pay for this again. I had some problems downloading something I bought a while back, although I can't remember how I did it I was able to re-download the thing. Just search around, shouldn't be to hard to find.
Good luck.

ITunes launched with Error 13005

Hi, I don't know if anyone has come across this problem before. I have been using my iTunes library on an external drive so that I can use it between my Mac Pro and my MacBook Pro. Both macs have Lion 10.7.3 and iTunes 10.5.3.
Today my iTunes has been working until just now. When I tried to relaunch it, I had the following error message:
"The iTune application cannot be opened. An unknown error occured (13005)."
I did not install any new apps nor made any changes to the apps other than syncing it with my iPhone and iPad2.
I tried to start iTune in safe mode and still had the same error message. I even created a new user account and test it in there. Still the same error.
Anyone has any suggestion as to where I should look. Thanks.

I had the same problem on my Mac, and I searched throught the forums, tired the advice, but nothing worked. Then (just on a whim) I copied the contents of my iTunes folder to a tempory folder on my desktop, located here:
[hard drive] > Users > [user name] > Music > iTunes
Then I relaunced iTunes. It started, which was great, but without any media in my library (of course). Then I compared the old directory and the new directory to see the differences, and I found something simple: my iTunes Library.itl file didn't have the extension [itl] (it was simply called "iTunes Library"). So I recopied all my files back in, added the extension on to the file name, and iTunes worked.
I'm not sure if this will work for you, but maybe it will solve your problem.

ITunes authorization with iPhone

The new Mavericks update (10.9.2) crashed my system so had to restore from Time Machine. Then when I had iTunes going and plugged in iPhone, I got a message that this iphone was not authorized for "copying" files from this computer so I would neet to Authorize. So I authorized just fine and the next window says "this computer is already authorized." But when that window is closed, the "not authorized" window comes back. Back and forth, nothing changes.
I tried:
1. Deauthorizing this computer then reautorizing
2. Turning off my iphone then restarting
3. Deleting the SC Info folder (according to the Apple Support web page)
None of this has worked.
Any suggestions?

OK, went to Preferences>Store, choose Automatic Downloads for Music and Apps, which weren't previously checked for some reason. Now when I go to My Account, it does indeed sow my computer as being associated, as does my iphone.
but when I plug in my iphone still get this message:
++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Some of the items in the iTunes library, including "Round Midnight", were not copied to the iPhone "myiphonename" because you are not authorized for them on this computer.
To authorize this computer for items purchased from the iTunes Store, choose Store>Authorize this Computer.
++++++++++++++++++++++++++
I bought a new song and it downloaded fine. I've had to upadte my billing information. Tried restarting iTunes 3 times during these changes.
So now it appears that both the Mac and the iPhone are "associated" with iTunes and this Mac is authorized. So now what?

Address book oddities with iPhone 4S, Lion & MacBook?

Maybe this is an iPhone issue, but: Have any of you been having problems with losing addresses out of Address book both on the latest versions of Lion, MacBooks and iPhones? I've been very successfully using an iPhone 3 and earlier versions of the OS, but when I upgraded to both a new 4S and MacBook i7, I've been plagued with address book entries showing up fine on the Macbook Pro but not on the iPhone after a sync. I'm NOT using iCloud yet, but this has become frequent and frustrating. I've even tried overwriting during Sync my entire iPhone address book with the one from my laptop, but I still can't get some of my contacts to show up on the iPhone. For example, all my family members with the same name as I am, do not show up on the phone after syncing with the laptop, where I can see them fine. It's very frustrating. After the latest sync, all my 'favorites' on the iPhone have vanished.
I see that others have had this problem in the past with MobileMe. But I'm not using either that or iCloud. iCloud is only being used for 'Find my iPhone". Nothing else.
Any suggestions? Or do you need more info?

Just an update, I reset my phone to factory defaults, reloaded everything, and the problem still continues, albeit with less entries vanishing. Also, I still have no problems on my Macbook that this is syncing to. So is anyone else experiencing lost address book entries on iPhone 4S?

Any solutions to itunes launching with windows 8? it was working fine yesterday when i was burning cd's and now it won't even open :-///

help .. i'm not techy so i'm not sure where to turn. I downloaded an updated 64 bit for my laptop that has windows 8 when my itunes wouldn't launch .. yesterday i was burning some cd's for a friend and it was working just fine. today as i attempted to launch itunes . it does nothing at all .. did i make a mistake by downloading an updated version? should i uninstall and re-install? help .. this *** ..

No, not paired to anything else, fresh out the box connected to the mac mini I bought at the same time, never been paired with anything else.
I think it's a hardware issue. As I don't seem to be able to get it to turn off.

Itunes sync with iphone 5 problem

It's making me crazy..
I am trying to sync my iphone 5 with itunes on Mac.
Tried everything.. My mac says syncing, then it says finished but no songs or no video is synced. Looking at the tree, I see the playlist but it's grey. (so not synced)
I had the same problem with my iPhone 4... The only thing I didn't do is setup the phone as a new phone.. (beacuse I want to keep my backup files)
Tried everything. uninstall, create new lib, wipe the phone..
Stupid thing is that my ipad 3 and mini are both synced correctly.
It can have something to do with itunes match. I did use it for a couple of days but it was horrible. Changed the setting back to local sync but it's doing nothing. Switching back to match doesn't help either. Deleted the lib on the phone, on itunes..
I am seeing more people with this problem. Anyone succeed in this?
Most likely it's a bug in either the firmware or itunes.. My expectation is in the iphone because my ipad's are synced correctly..
Thx>
Jorik

In addition, I just turned off syncing calendars, and now I'm "hanging" on syncing contacts. I think that the problem is with syncing, period, not limited to a particular data base.

Also, I'm unable to even use "notes" on my iPhone to edit or create anything new
HELP

I'm having the same problem. Just upgraded from the 3G to the new 3GS today and am getting the following error message: "iTunes could not sync notes to the iPhone 'iPhone' because the iPhone disconnected"
Here's the configuration:

First, you should have continued the discussion on the original thread. Users here do not get some type of notification when you use their name, unless it is a thread they have been contributing to.
Second, you will not get someone from Apple here, this is a user to user forum. While I cannot answer your question, I'll see if I can get Linc's attention in a forum area for senior users.
