"open itunes with this ipod" box grayed out

The box that I had checked "open itunes when this ipod is connected" is grayed out. Why? Under the old firmware, itunes opened up automatically when I connected my ipod. Can I get this back.

Cannot enable "open itunes when this ipod is connected" with brand new nano

I just purchased a new 16GB 4G nano, and iTunes will not enable the check box for "open itunes when this ipod is connected". It is not greyed-out, but when I select it (check the box), iTunes un-checks the box upon the next sync.
Why won't iTunes allow me to enable "open itunes when this ipod is connected"? I have tried all combinations of check boxes, but to no avail.
Please help!

I found my answer whenever the question was posted and started checking the "More Like This" items. I swear I tried to search and find an answer before posting my question but got back some non-sensical results. However, the answer was found in an archived thread "
When I connect my iPod Touch, why won't iTunes 9.2 open automatically?
and the answer was to unclick the auto open option, shut down iTunes and restart, then click the option back on. The iTunes Help message window appears asking if I was sure I wanted to do this (Of Course!) and it seems to have addressed the problem!!

Possible iOS 5 bug - "Open iTunes when this iPod is connected" using 200 MB

A strange bug with either iOS 5 or iTunes 10.5 that does not look like it was discussed - I couldn't pull anything up in a search.
I've noticed that ever since upgrading to iOS 5, the amount of free space on my iPod Touch (3rd G) reported both in iTunes and on the iPod itself decreased by about 2 GB compared to what I had had free under iOS 4.3.
Originally I attributed it to the fact that iOS 5 happened to be larger in size, until I noticed that I gained about 200 MB by unchecking the "Open iTunes when..." option. See the following two screenshots:
The strange part is that the "missing" 200 MB is somehow attributed to "Audio" - also notice the difference in reported Audio size between the two images.
As a comparison, my iPad is still running iOS 4.3.5. I checked and unchecked that option in iTunes when the iPad was connected, and there was no change in reported capacity whatsoever.
Does anyone have an idea as to what the cause of this may be? Has anyone else experienced this and/or submitted a bug report to Apple software engineers?
Thanks,
Steve

iTunes freezes to the point that I must CtrlAltDel to exit it. It never did this before, but recently it has started doing this. I've had it for 13 months, so no warranty.
I have tried it in iTunes 7.5 on windows Vista and in iTunes 7.4 on Windows XP. Same issue either way.
Thanks for your prompt reply!

"Open iTunes when this iPhone is attached" is grayed out

Hey gang-
On my iPhone running OS 3.1.2 and iTunes 9.0, "Open iTunes when this iPod is attached" is grayed out. Any reason this would be?
Thanks!
Dave

Edit > preferences > Devices > Disable automatic syncing for iPhones and iPods, check in that box?
That should make the option you want available and then you can disable the auto-syncing again if you want.

Open itunes when this iphone is connected is grayed out

Did a search for this and could not find any resolutions.
For some reason when I connect my iPhone, it automatically opens itunes and starts synching. I have never had it set up to do so, as I want to be able to do it when I have time.
But I can not stop this from happening. In the summary tab of my iPhone when connected to iTunes the "Open itunes when this phone is connected" selection is grayed out.
Any suggestions on how to resolve this problem from anyone?

Found a solution....
Open iTunes-Preferences-Devices- then uncheck "Prevent iPods, iPhones, and iPads from syncing automatically". select OK.
Now you have the option to uncheck the 'Open iTunes when iPhone is plugged in'.
You can also go back and re-check "Prevent iPods, iPhones, and iPads from syncing automatically" without the problem re-occurring.

Why is the music list for my ipod classic grayed out in itunes?

why is the music list for my ipod classic grayed out in itunes?

I have a similar problem. Originally, my iTunes advanced setting was set such that a shortcut to the song was copied into my music library so sometimes copying songs to my iPod resulted in them being grayed out. I changed that setting some time ago and haven't had the problem until recently.
I don't know what to do. here's the situation:
     1. I have a song that is stored on my file system within My Documents. (it was purchased via Amazon)
     2. Through iTunes I choose the File | Import file to library (or some text like that)
     3. I navigate to the location of the song
     4. I import it.
     5. I can play the tune from the music library or from an internal PC playlist.
     6. I then attempt to copy the song to my iPod. When I do, it appears in the iPod's playlist grayed out.
I have done those steps countless times for dozens of songs without a problem. Even others that I've purchased through Amazon. What is so different this time? I should mention that this problem NEVER happens if I buy the song through the iTunes store. Only if I buy it from another source (e.g. Amazon). WHY ???

If i have already logged in my iTunes with my iPod and plugged that in, but now i have a new iPod and I want to plug that in to my laptop how would i do that with out losing anything on my new iPod and my old one. Both my ipods are on different accounts?

Whenever I go to iTunes with my iPod 5th generation 32 gb iPod Touch, running iOS 8.0.2, It tells me that the "Other" category is using up 14.59 gb of data. I have no clue why it says this and I have searched the internet for fixes and none worked.

I have no clue why it says this and I have searched the internet for fixes and none worked. I have tried on a windows and a mac and noticed no change. I have tried restoring to a backup but that didn't help. I haven't had time to do a full restore but I will try if the problem persists.

An "other" larger than about 1 1/2 GB indicates corrupted files.

Next, usually restoring from backup eliminated the corrupted files. However, sometimes restoring to factory settings/new iPod is required.

When plugging in ipod, itunes says it is not synched with this ipod...??

Greetings.
Here goes.
I recently had an issue with itunes library (also had a corrupt quicktime) and all my data was erased, I downloaded itunes again. I then located all the songs on my hard drive and dumped them back into my library. My ipod was unscathed. However, when I plug in my ipod I recieve the message that "this itunes is not synched with this ipod"...and the option to "erase and synch" (which I did). Note: I bought an external hard drive for my music files and redirected the ipod to this (F:). I am still recieving the message and the action to "erase and aynch". How can I remedy this?
Thanks

Can't select "Open iTunes when this iPhone is connected" in iTunes.

iTunes wouldn't launch when I plugged the phone into my laptop. I opened iTunes manually & the option to "Open iTunes when this iPhone is connected" is now grayed out. How can I re-select that option?

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

Open iTunes when this iPhone is connected

So; i finaly got to update my Mac to 10.6.5. Following a update of iTunes to 10.1. A few days after i recieved my iPhone 4 and updated that one directly from the box to 4.2.1.
The "Open iTunes when this iPhone is connected" are checked.
Prefs->Devices "Prevent iPods, iPhones, and iPads fro.." are NOT checked.
And still iTunes don't start when i plug inn my iPhone. Anyone knows if there are there any fixes for this?

launch *Activity Monitor* and look for a process called iTunesHelper.
iTunesHelper or iTunes Helper, is a program from Apple that runs in the background and monitors for the connection of any iPod or iPhone to the computer
if that process is not present, try *removing iTunes completely* (click here and follow the instructions), then reinstall it using the standalone installer from here: http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/.
note this will not touch your media files, playlists, ratings, etc.

I am trying to sync my itunes with my ipod, but when I get to step 3 of syncing, it stops. Also, I deleted all the songs on my ipod, and when I go to my music in my ipod the songs are all still there and in a grey color and I'm not able to select them.

How do I completely clear my ipod music, and how can I solve the syncing problem?

Sync works the same way it always has, connect the device, select the content desired to sync and sync.
All the media should be in iTunes already, iDevices are not and have never been backup devices.
If this is a new computer, move the content from the old computer to the new computer.
