Open iTunes when iPhone/Pad connected not working

iTunes recently quit auto opening when I connect my iPhone or iPad. I'm not sure exactly when it started happening, but I'm guessing it was after a recent iTunes or other software update.
The Prevent ipad etc from syncing box under iTunes -> Preferences -> Devices ->  is UNchecked.
and the Open iTunes when this iPad/Phone is Connected box  in the device summery section is checked.
I do have iTunes helper in my login items.
I've searched help and troubleshooting and can't find anything to help.
Any help here?

I'm having the same issue. Just started recently. I don't see any suggestions for how to fix it. Do you?

  • Open iTunes when iPhone is connected

    I was just wondering, is there anyway to get itunes to open when i plug in my iphone?

    Notice that I said UNcheck that option... Also, in the "Summary" pane for your iPhone in iTunes be sure "Automatically sync when this iPhone is connected", is checked. (This won't work if the "Disable..." option in the iTunes prefs is checked.)

  • ITunes 11.1.5 doesn't open automatically when iPhone 5 connected

    I have tried checking and unchecking "open iTunes when iPhone is connected" and that hasn't helped.

    I’ve found another solution for those where this doesn’t resolve it.
    From user Crosbie at MacForums.com
    You can extract iTunes Helper from the iTunes package, if you like, to replace the absent one.
    It can be found by right-clicking the iTunes app and choosing 'Show Package Contents'; then navigate down to the 'MacOS' folder. You can then drag it to your open 'login items' window.

    This solved the issue for me, where unchecking and re-checking didn’t.

  • Open iTunes when iPhone connected

    The option in iTunes to allow iTunes to open automatically when iPhone is connected is greyed out and won't allow me to select it. Any ideas? My husband just upgraded to an iPhone 4, same computer, different login and iTunes account and his works as it should.

    The only thing I can suggest at this point is to re-install itunes. No need to uninstall first, you can merely download the latest version & re-install over your present installation. Re-boot your computer & see it that fixes things.

  • When I open iTunes my iPhone 4S will not show up as a device.

    When I open iTunes my iPhone 4S will not show up as a device. I have tried the advice provided by Apple. I have gone through the iPhone Troubleshooting Assistant. That gave no solutions. I have tried the other solutions offered by Apple. I think that I have possibly identified the problem. As far as I know the Apple Mobile Device USB Driver is not installed on my computer. I have tried to install it but when I do I receive an error message. I repeat the entire error message in the following paragraph. The message appears in a dialogue box with the name: "Update Driver Software - iPhone".
    "Windows encountered a problem installing the driver software for your device. Windows found driver software for your device but encountered an error while attempting to install it. Apple Mobile Device USB Driver. Access is denied. If you know the manufacturer of your device, you can visit its website and check the support section for driver software."
    I cannot find a solution to this problem on Apple's website. How can I get this driver installed?

    I would recommend taking a look at the troubleshooting steps found in the article below.

  • Not opening iTunes when Touch is connected

    I believe it used to be the case that my Touch opened iTunes when the "Open iTunes...when connected" was checked off, but now it doesn't. It's not a huge problem, but it is frustrating.
    Can anyone give me a clue as to waht to look for to correct this?
    iPod Touch 4th Gen
    iTunes v 10.4.1

    If you have autosync in iTunes/Edit/Preferences/Devices disabled, enable it again. Then click on your phone in the device list, and check the Summary pane if autolaunch is selected. If no, select it, go back to Edit/Preferences/Devices and enable the option to prevent autosync, if you had this selected before.
    The reason to go back and forth is, that you can't see if autolaunch for iTunes is selected in the Summary pane, if you disabled autosync.
    I hope this makes sense

  • Summary Options Open iTunes when iPod is Connected

    Open iTunes when this iPod is connected
    is grayed out under iTunes Summary Options.
    Anyone know why? how to enable? is it the result of some other preference?
    Some file I need to delete?
    Running Windows 7 64-bit
    iOS 4.3.5
    iPod Touch 4G 32GB
    Just did a full uninstall of all Apple software (manually also as described in tech note).
    Can't find anything else, other than I can't seem to upgrade to iOS 5; one app (NewYorkTimes) refuses to be moved and does not show on left column of iPod apps (but does show in the Apps purchased). I've reinstalled directly to iPod but can't figure what is corrupt.
    #2: high res photos and tells me I need to synch photos
    I just had two hours with frozen system and cancelled the Sync on the iPod and shutdown/power off the PC. It showed what looked like 99.99% download and install process.
    There is 779,856k file
    C:\Users\______\AppData\Roaming\Apple Computer\iTunes\iPod Software Updates
    Very frustrated and confused, still....

    The only clue I have is when I go to Device Manager  I see an error for device;
    If I go to Devices and Printers control panel, other USB devices, it finds a problem with iPod.
    Thanks to all.
    So the error "this device cannot start (Code 10)" and the error mesages about the hardware leave me thinking Apple's device driver support is at fault and is an issue if not THE issue in all this.

  • 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!

  • Cannot view all tabs in itunes when iphone is connected

    Hi,
    Just after the new itunes upgrade when I plug my iphone into my computer I cannot see all the tabs. It starts with the Summary, Info, Applications, Ringtones, Music, Movies, TV Shows, iTunesU, Ph...(cannot see the rest). I tried going to Windows and Zoom and it doesn't make a difference. I've been trying to sync my Nike+ipod and cannot find where the tab is located. My photos tab cannot even be completely viewed. Can someone please help?
    Thanks

    I have a similar problem, except I cannot see the slidebar at the botton of the screen. I opened itunes to find that a portion of the window was out of the screen. And now I can't move it up so use the slidebar. I've tried everything I could think of but I'm not very good with computers. I've tried minimizing and maximizing and closing the window... nothing! Can you please help!

  • How to change what a new tab opens to when auto:config does not work?

    Hi,
    For an unknown reason my new tab changed from google to a weird yahoo one today. I cannot find how to revert it back even after i made google my home page and default search engine. I checked online and saw that perhaps I could fix things with the auto:config but I cannot even get it to open. When I try a search engine opens up. Any help would be appreciated.

    The correct name of that page is <b>about:config</b> and not 'auto:config'.
    You can open the <b>about:config</b> page via the location/address bar.
    You can accept the warning and click "I'll be careful" to continue.
    *http://kb.mozillazine.org/about:config
    You can check the value of the browser.newtab.url pref.

  • IPhoto not opening up when Iphone is connected

    So I had this problem, Iphoto and image capture and itunes (sometimes) was not recognizing my iPhone3G.
    Tried everything listed earlier.
    ANSWER: I attached a new cord and it worked perfectly. If your cord is in any way having to be " Played" with or wiggeled in the Mac
    will have a hard time seeing the device.

    If you have autosync in iTunes/Edit/Preferences/Devices disabled, enable it again. Then click on your phone in the device list, and check the Summary pane if autolaunch is selected. If no, select it, go back to Edit/Preferences/Devices and enable the option to prevent autosync, if you had this selected before.

  • Automatically start iTunes when iPhone is connected

    How do I change the setting on my iphone 4 to tell itunes to automatically start when the phone is connected?
    The option is greyed out.

    I had the same issue with Windows Vista. I would plug in my iphone after the new Itunes update and Windows would say "found new device" and try installing drivers. It would then report it failed. I looked under device manager and saw that it was listed as a camera device. I followed the steps found in the following url, and now my iphone is synching. I hope it works for you.
