Since iPhone 4.3.4, iTunes 10.4 doesn't start up automatically

Since I updated my iPhone 4 to 4.3.4, iTunes 10 v.10.4 no longer starts up automatically when I connect my iPhone, though "Open iTunes when this iPhone is connected" remains checked. iPhoto '11 v.9.1.5, however, still starts up automatically. I'm running OS X v.10.6.8.

thx. my IT guy told me about itunes helper which i verified was there in account preferences. but it didn't have an app icon, it was just a blank doc icon. also checked activity monitor to see if it was running or not. which it wasn't. then he fixed it so that it was repaired and showed up as an itunes icon, so it was working. reinstalled itunes and it launched when i plugged the iphone in. but the iphone still wouldn't show up in devices (in fact there was no DEVICES column to be seen).
when that didn't work, i got an old snow leopard disk and reinstalled 10.6 fresh. still didn't work. so he opened up preferences and found that there were A TON of extensions, apps, preferences that i really didn't need that were set up by my previous IT guy (e.g. growl, iclipboard, perian, etc etc etc). i honestly had no idea what they were. he elimintated them one by one until it was virtually clean. in the meantime, he went into the RAID utility app and performed redundancy verification and initialization tasks, and before those painfully long tasks even finished IT FINALLY WORKED! i finally have my iphone back. the huge lesson here for me is, when in doubt keep as a lean and clean system as you can! if you don't know what something is in your preferences, you probably don't need it! oh, and one added benefit, my system runs faster now!

In itunes on iphone when I press play the song doesn't start

I just replaced my iphone and the new phone is giving me trouble. First, the headphones wouldn't work. Now in itunes when I press play on a song nothing happens.....the song doesn't start. Pandora is working.....this is just an Itunes issue apparently.

Iphone 2g connect to itunes mode pc doesn't recognise

Hi,
I am not sure how or why but my iphone went blank today, I assumed that the phone had run out of battery, I plugged it in but it did not seem to charge. Next the symbols for connect to itunes came up so I connected it to my laptop but itunes would not recognise it, the symbols stayed on then it reset after a few minutes. I have reset the phone and nothing. The phone is locked to O2 and it has a tesco mobile sim installed. I have had the phone for 3 months and it has worked fine.
Thanks for your help

Furter details with this problem, I got the phone to charge by removing the sim and placing in my Gear4 speaker, once charged I put the sim back in started the phone and it seemed fine except that the home button will not work at all! Crazy, as soon as I plug it in the PC the connect to itunes pops up and itunes still wont recognise.
Any help ideas what could of caused this?

Since update to version 4.3.3 mail doesn't start up and doesn't work

Hi
Since I updated my Iphone 4 to the software version 4.3.3, Mail doesn't work out good anymore.
It is the only thing which doesn't work. All other App's are good.
Mail hang's up if you start it.
If it starts sometimes, it says for example: 4 mails received, but nothing shows up ...
Probably somebody else has such problems
Help would be very nice
thanks
regards
Patrick

I have the same problem on an iPhone 4 with 4.3.5 update.

Itunes 7.01 doesn't start up

itunes doesn't want to launch. In the beginning it stopped after accepting the license and then closed down with this error: iTunes has encountered a problem and needs to close. We are sorry for the inconvenience.
If I hold in the shift key while launching itunes I get a bit further. Itunes asks me a library (although I already had a library from itunes 6) and then it shuts down with the same error: iTunes has encountered a problem and needs to close. We are sorry for the inconvenience.
It doesn't matter if i go to an existing library or create a new one.
I don't have norton or NIS, but I do have Mcaffee Virus protector. However, this is switched off.

I made a new account and then it works beautifully.
okay ... usually in the itunes 6.0.x-and-earlier-days, that indicated a problem with the itunes preferences files in the user account in which itunes was crashing. (there's a different set of preference files in each different XP user account, which is how we can get this "launch in one account, crash in another" behavior.)
so we're going to try "rebuilding" the itunes preference files in the account in which you're crashing.
quit itunes. log into the account you're crashing in.
make sure you have "show hidden files and folders" switched on. to do that, open up My Computer, and in the Tools menu, choose "Folder Options..." Then go to the View tab, and then in the "Advanced settings", make sure that there is a check mark next to "Show hidden files and folders".
now navigate to the following folder and open it up:
C:\Documents and Settings\<username>\Application Data\Apple Computer\iTunes\
("<username>" is the name of the account you're crashing in.)
inside, you should see an "iTunes.pref" file and an "iTunesPref.xml" file. rename them "iTunes.pref1" and iTunesPref.xml1". move them to your desktop.
now navigate to the following folder:
C:\Documents and Settings\<username>\Local Settings\Application Data\Apple Computer\iTunes\
inside, you should see another "iTunes.pref" file and another "iTunesPref.xml" file. rename them "iTunes.pref2" and iTunesPref.xml2". move them to your desktop.
restart the PC. log in to the user account that itunes is crashing in. try launching itunes again.
the itunes setup assistant should run. (much like it did the first time you launched itunes after you installed it for the first time.) it's rebuilding the itunes preference files while you're doing that.
after the itunes setup assistant has done its business, does itunes open up normally for you?

ITunes freezes and doesn't recognise iPhone

Hi, I've got an issue with my iPhone 3G running on iOS 4.0.1. Everytime I connect it to my PC (running on Windows 7 32-bit), iTunes freezes for a few minutes and doesn't recognise the device. I've been searching for the solution for a couple of days now and have found the following thread:
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1141495&start=75&tstart=0
Fix provided by BeeBopp work for me but only until I reboot my PC. Then I have the same situation - having iPhone connected to PC, iTunes freezes and doesn't recognise the device - so I need to go to Device Manager and update the drivers manually even though they seem to have been installed correctly (I have Apple Mobile Device on my list before I update the drivers), but I need to point Windows to use the drivers from
C:\Program Files\Common Files\Apple\Mobile Device Support\Drivers\usbaapl.inf
I have already tried:
-completely removing iTunes and its configuration files
-reinstalling iTunes (the newest available version)
-removing iPhone from the devices list and reinstalling Apple drivers
Nothing works - everytime I reboot PC, I need to update drivers manually.
Do you have any idea what's causing that? Thanks

ITunes on 64 bit doesn't start, recognised as 32 bit program

Hi,
I use windwows 7 Professional 64 bit,
when I run itunes installer everything goes fine (except that it installs in x86 folder!) but when I try to run itunes it just doesn't start, nothing shows up and in task manager i see "itunes.exe*32" which means it is recognised as a 32bit program!!!
how can I solve this?
I also tried with itunes 8 and 9 but nothing worked

no error messages at all. ... quick time works
many thanks ... that's got one possibility with an error-message-free iTunes launch failure ruled out already.
Checking on another possibility that has been common in recent times, now.
Try (by way of experiment) disabling the BonJour Service.
In your Start Menu, right-click Computer and select "Manage".
Expand "Services & Applications".
Open "Services". (Maximise the window to better see what's going on.)
Right-click the BonJour Service and select "Properties". In the "General" tab, set Start-up type to "Disabled".
Restart the PC, and try launching iTunes again. Does it launch this time?
If iTunes launches with the BonJour Service disabled, by any chance do you have a recent version of IOBit's Advanced SystemCare utility currently installed on the PC? If so, try uninstalling and reinstalling Advanced SystemCare. Can you launch iTunes without having to disable the BonJour Service now?

HT4623 since my laptop crashed and itunes had to be re-installed my iphone 5 will no longer sync?

since my laptop crashed and itunes had to be re-installed my iphone 5 will no longer sync with itunes. can anyone suggest anything?

Does iTunes not recognize the phone, or does it recognize it but not sync? If it is the former see: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1538.
If it is the latter you may have some settings wrong. Tell us what you have tried.
