ITunes 7.3 locks up when iPhone is connected!

Just got my lovely new iPhone, and I can't do a thing with it.
Installed 10.4.10 and iTunes 7.3 (after a false starte with the iPhone before I realized I needed to add the newest software).
Now, when I connect the iPhone to my MacBook Pro, iTunes doesn't open. If I open iTunes first and then connect the iPhone, iTunes locks up and takes the entire computer with it. I can't Force Quit, change applications or start any new apps. I have to shut the Mac down by holding the power button.
Help!

ITunes locking up when iPhone or iPod connected.

I have iTunes 10.3.1 on Mac OS X 10.6.8 and everytime I connect my iPhone or iPod iTunes locks up. I've reinstalled iTunes according to the directions I found on Apples website (including deleting many of the configuration files) and the problem persists. I had thought Spotify was the problem, so I followed the directions to completely remove Spotify, but yet the problem still exists. I'm nearly to the point of reinstalling OS X, but would greatly prefer to not have to do. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Looks like new firmware upgrade solved this issue.

How to stop iTunes from launching when iPhone is connected?

I have the "Disable automatic syncing for all iPhones and iPods" checked in my Windows version if iTunes. But when I try to charge my iPhone, it still comes up. Is there any way to disable this. Windows also detects a camera device. I do all my iPhone stuff at home on my Mac, but at work I have a PC and I want to be able to charge my phone using the USB cable. But I don't want iTunes to launch or the PC to detect the camera device. Any ideas or suggestions?
Thanks

SteveFLHTCI:
Here's what I did using Windows Vista Home Premium. First, when I connected my iPhone, an AutoPlay dialog box popped up asking me what I wanted to do. Towards the bottom, there was some blue text that stated "Set AutoPlay defaults in Control Panel" and I clicked on it. When the Control Panel AutoPlay applet opened up, I scrolled down towards the bottom and found a list of devices which included "Apple iPhone." From there, I selected "Take No Action" from the drop-down list and have lived happily ever after.
Hope that helped. Good luck.

ITunes locks up when iPhone 3G attached, unlocks when not attached

Mine worked for half the afternoon, but now I get a sick sounding beep when I plug it into the USB port, and it locks up iTunes (windows Vista 32 ultimate). Tried different USB ports, shutting down the computer, resetting the iPhone, etc., but nothing works. It doesn't lock up the Mac, and the iPhone appears in iTunes, but iTunes is unresponsive. I downloaded and installed a few apps, and moved about 5 gigs of music videos onto it, and now iTunes locks up. I deleted the apps, but that did no good.

I did some additional research and even tried a hard reset and restore from prior to when I saw the issue. That did not help.
I found one response to a similar situation that recommended clicking on phone's podcasts and waiting out the spinning beach ball. I chose to do that late in the evening, so I clicked, and went to bed. It was working and accessible in the morning. So far, so good.

ITunes not Opening when iPhone is connected

My iPhone is synced to my home computer (Mac), but I often use my work computer (PS) to charge while at work. Before I was doing this, I had no issues with iTunes and my personal computer, but now when I connect my phone to my personal computer iTunes won't open on its own. I've read on another post that I needed to reinstall iTunes. I reinstalled iTunes, plugged in my phone and it iTunes opened. Problem solved! Two days later problem is back. I know that it can be fixed again by reinstalling iTunes, but I don't want to do this each time. Any help/ideas?

In iTunes > Preferences > Advanced > click Reset warnings and Reset cache buttons.

ITunes *always* opens when iPhone is connected -- Make it go away!!!

Ok, in iTunes 8.2.1, under Devices, I have Disable automatic syncing checked, and under my iPhone's Summary page, Automatically sync iPhone when connected is both unchecked, and for some reason, disabled.
Yet every time I connect my iPhone, iTunes bloody opens anyway. This only seems to have started happening with the last update or two of iTunes. Does anyone know how to stop this... it's driving me and a bunch of other folks crazy.

Hi Jeffery,
Try removing the iTunes Helper Login Item, as Allan suggested in this thread: http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1888589

Itunes locking up when ipod is connected. Firewall problem?

Hi folks. For years I have been running itunes, an ipod touch and NOD32 firewall with no problems at all. But a couple of days ago I connected up my ipod and there is a problem.
itunes launches as you would expect, but it immediately hangs. After a few minutes, it will free up, but the ipod is not visible in itunes. I can see it in Windows and the USB driver is working fine.
If I disconnect the ipod whilst itunes is "stuck", then itunes immediately starts responding properly. So it looks very much like this freezing is caused by itunes hanging on the ipod.
Here's the wierd thing: I have found that if I disable my firewall, the problem goes away. i.e. everything works fine if the firewall is disabled. No lockups and itunes can see the ipod and will happily sync with it.
I really don't see how the firewall can be the culprit though. I didn't think firewalls applied to USB connections??!
I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling itunes and it makes no difference. I have also upgraded from 9.1 to 9.2 and that didn't fix it either.
Any ideas what's going on (And how to fix it?)
Thanks

After re-installing iTunes, and doing a full restore on my iPod, I have determined that it was some album cover art that seemed to be causing the problem. The iPod would start to sync, and then hang on one song. Deleted that song, and it synced a little more, and got hung up again on another song from the same album.
I deleted the entire album from my iTunes library, and the iPod synced just fine. I re-ripped the CD in question, this time with out adding ablum cover art, and it worked perfectly.
Now I wonder why iTunes is getting stuck on certian album cover art. The CD in question is Eric Clapton's "Crossroads". iTunes was unable to retreive the album cover art when I ripped the CD [perhaps because iTunes has it listed as "Crossroads (Box Set)"], so I just scanned the cover of the CD and added it that way. I have done this with other CDs, and had no problems what so ever. Anyone have any clue as to why this would happen?

ITunes shuts down when iPhone is connected.

I can open my iTunes and listen to music, browse the store, everything. As soon as I connect my iPhone I get a message saying iTunes has stopped working and the program closes. There is some DEP warning coming up from Windows (vista 64bit), I can not figure out how to solve the problem. I have uninstalled and reinstalled the programs, reset the computer, reset the phone...I am out of ideas.

You might want to take a look at this Apple article and completely remove iTunes and associated files completely and reinstall it. See if that helps.

After removing and reinstalling iTunes, reboot the computer and reattch the iPhone.

ITunes Locks up when iPod is connected

this is weird. I've had my iPod for 3 months now and never had any issue with it or iTunes. All of a sudden, this evening, I plug in my 60gb iPod in to my computer. Then iTunes recognizes my iPod. As long as I am in the "Library" screen it is fine. Then I go to a playlist on iPod or just to browse my iPod and iTunes freezes. I end up having to do CtrlAltDel/end task just to get out of it. I just dloaded and installed the new iTunes + iPod 06.28.06 updates to see if it would fix it, but the problem persists. Anyone have any idea what may be going on? I have no clue.
Thanks,
Josh

wow, suddenly it works perfect again. i guess the little iTunes elves in my computer were napping

When iPhone is connected to PC, it shows in itunes but Autoplay does not open for me to copy photos. I tried the Control Panel, changing Autoplay settings but no use. I use a Windows Vista. Please help! All my little ones' pictures are on my iPhone 3GS

I tried hard reset on my iPhone. I tried restarting laptop and iPhone. I tried a different laptop. I tried removing driver and reinstalling from Device Manager but did not find a driver other than "Apple Mobile Device USB Driver" under "Universal Serial Bus controllers" which I heard shouldn't be uninstalled.
Anything I haven't tried?
HELP!

A bit confused by your statement

Are you seeing your music listed in the iPod screen, or in Win explorer as in your earlier post?
I can see all the songs in my Edrive>al's Ipod> Ipod Control> Music folder.
A corrupted iPod database, will report zero music used, and have your music size reported as others, so you wont see the music in the iPod screen. Sorry, I thought there was some hope for you with iPodAccess, in recovery of the corrupted iPod database with your ratings.
You can try to borrow and use the Mac Disk Utility ->First Aid ->Repair.
Of course, if your iPod Hardisk is in a bad state, from the Disk Diagnostic report, then all my suggestion are futile.

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.

ITunes automatic launch when iPhone connected

I suddenly have a new problem, and am uncertain as to what I did. When I plug my iPhone into my MacBook, in the past, iTune automatically launched and recognized my phone. Does not do that anymore.
I upgraded to Leopard. Any thoughts?
Thanks,
Professor Mack

Howdy-
Make sure, on your iPhone's screen in iTunes, that "Open iTunes when this iPhone is connected" is checked.
I am seeing the same thing. I have to manually launch iTunes on my Mac Pro.
i like , are you referring to the checkbox in iTunes on the Mac/PC that actually reads, "Automatically sync when iPhone is connected" or a screen on the iPhone?
I have the above box checked yet iTunes still fails to open when I plug in my iPhone.
Any ideas?

Stop iTunes 11.0 from launching automatically when iPhone is connected?

Hi all -
Just got an iPhone 5 and connected it to my computer to charge. Discovered upon doing so that my version of iTunes is now upgraded to 11.0. How do I stop iTunes 11.0 from automatically launching when I connect my iPhone? I can't find an appropriate box to uncheck. In the old version of iTunes, there were different things to uncheck for stopping automatic syncing and automatic launching. Is this still the case? If so I'd like to prevent launching but keep syncing.
Thanks.

Hummm, that's odd. I always have "Automatically sync when iPhone is connected" unchecked, it has been working fine untill this morning, out of the blue when I plug the iPhone 5 in, **** iTunes launchs itself Then an error message said the iTune could not connect to the iPhone5, meanwhile the iPhone keeps beeping because of that.
It seems like Apple loves all these obnoxious automatic this and that features, they do it in iPhoto, XCode.... everything they make. Personally I like to have more control of what I want to do, I really HATE HATE HATE HATE HATE HATE HATE!! all the automatic these and that.
