The "open Itunes when this phone is connected" it's not available. Why?

I want that whwnwever I plug my phone to my Mac iTunes opens automaticly, but in the summary page of the iPhone in Itunes, I can`t check that option and I don't know why

I have the same issue but my Itunes opens up when I connect my Iphone. I do not want it to open up. I just want to charge my phone with the usb and only have itunes open when I want it to. How can I turn this off? It seems the box in the options is unchecked and greyed out so as to be unavailable anyways.

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.

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.

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!

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!!

Open iTunes when this device is connected

"Open iTunes when this device is connected" is not on the Summary Tab as stated by the Help screen. So where is it?

Each time you connect your iPhone to iTunes, you need to eject it before closing iTunes by clicking on the little "eject" icon shown in iTunes. It seems that sometime in the past, you did not do that.
I'm not sure how to undo the previously done damage, but maybe a reboot of your Mac would help.

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!

Hi, oldcrow13.
Thank you for the response. Typically this error is caused by installing an older verison of iTunes than you had prior. When you installed iTunes did you download the program directly from iTunes.com, or did you use an older copy of the program on your computer? If you used an older version or are unsure, uninstall all the components one more time and download a new copy of iTunes via the link below.

"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!

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.

I haven't get any receipt of purchases since mid January 2014. How can I contact and let the itune fix this? (I live in Thailand, not available to call or find local support.)

Has the ISP modems and routers been power cycled then tested again?
Possible ISP connection issues or LinksysSmartWiFi.com service outage maybe...
Are FW versions on all routers up to date?
To safely update FW, I recommend doing the following: Download the FW file from the support site first.
Disable the auto update feature on the router. <If this was on, possible someting was updated recently. I recommend leaving this OFF.
1. Save router config to file first using IE or FF with all security add-ons disabled.
2. Factory reset the router with all other devices disconnected or turned OFF accept for 1 wired PC.
3. Reload or Update the FW using IE or FF. Just download the FW file to your local wired LAN PC.
4. Factory reset the router and then set up from scratch first and test with out loading the saved config from file. Check to see if any problems are fixed before loading the saved config from file. Sometimes you need to set up from scratch with out loading the saved config file. Just safer that way.

When I connect my iphone to itunes it freezes, if I try to open itunes when my phone is already plugged in it doesnt open, help?

Hello community, I seem to be having an issue with itunes.
Upon opening itunes everything works fine. But the second i plug in my iphone, itunes freezes and wont respond.
If i already have my iphone plugged in and then try to open itunes, a type of beveled outline in the shape of the itunes page appears, but of course thats useless.
I have reinstalled itunes twice, restarted computer twice and nothing seems to work... please help me out!!

nevermind this, the faulty usb cord was the culprit.

Plugging in my iPod Nano no longer starts iTunes. Why is the "Start iTunes when this device is plugged in" checkbox greyed out?

Can anyone help me with this?

Looks like that, or a combination of the two took care of the problem. Yaaaaayyyyyy!
Thanks again for your help. It got a little dicey because without the manage my own files box checked iTunes tried to sync the iPod to iTunes and there wasn't enough room on the iPod for all of the music. Once I got the prevent sync bow unchecked in Preferences and unchecked the manage my files and use disc boxes unchecked I was able to check the start iTunes box and the manage my files box an apply it so that I have the best of both worlds going own.
Life is good!
Thaks again Brother.

ITunes store won't connect. I keep getting the "Accessing iTunes" when I try to connect.

I have been having a problem getting my iTunes to connect. It just stopped one day, no idea why. I have tried to fix this by uninstalling, and I have tried to fix it by going through my firewall. I have restored my programs, but that didn't work either. I looked on some Apple discussions and tried the wonsock restore and that didn't work. I read an article about winsock providers, but I am not computer literate enough to know what to do next.
Below is an image of what I get when I run autoruns.exe. I cannot uncheck or delete the non-Bonjour winsock programs, and I'm at a dead-end.
Can anyone help me?
