I had to reinstall itunes and now when I plug in my ipod itunes does not automatically open to my library or where I can access the itunes store. What do I do now?

Open iTunes and connect your iPod. Select your iPod in iTunes from the Source list. (I'm assuming this still works, although you didn't indicate if it did or didn't.) Make sure the box is checked to Open iTunes when this device is connected. You should be all set!

When I plug in iPod - iTunes crashes?

Hello.. sorry if this is a repeat question. I lost track of my user i.d. and couldn't track down my question. Anyways, when I plug in my ipod - iTunes loads as usual. However, it crashes and says "this application has failed" or something like that. Usually, my ipod would say "ipod is updating". Now it just sticks with "do not disconnect". My actual files are all still in the ipod - files and the songs are still in itunes. But when i look at the music directory in my ipod - it's empty (due to the no updating thing). It's driving me crazy. I've tried a couple of earlier suggestions and they didn't work. I've uninstalled itunes and re-installed it and that didn't work. I was hoping i wouldn't have to reformat my ipod but if that's what it will take I guess that's that. Thank you very much in advance for any suggestions!

p.s. off topic I know, but since I have your attn.. I have a bigger problem too. All my files (college work for a portfolio!) were dragged in the trash and i hit "empty trash" - so now I'm screwed. I know trash isn't truly trashed so if anybody knows the step by step process on how to recover it I'd be grateful. Thank you for reading.

Hello. The message was:
"The application iTunes has unexpectedly quit. The system and other applications have not been affected."
I haven't gotten around to trying the link out yet becuase I'm still scannning it for my deleted files. Thank you for any other additional help regarding my ipod/itunes issue.

Itunes freezes when I plug in my Ipod Touch - what should I do?

I know that this has been asked numerous times, but I haven't found a solution yet. The basics:
It was working fine yesterday, but when i plug in my ipod, itunes won't recognize it and it will freeze until I remove the ipod.
My 3rd gen ipod touch, when I try to access my music and videos (my photos are still there), just goes to a white screen.
After going to settings and about in my ipod, next to music and videos, it just says loading and won't do anything else.
I've reinstalled itunes and it has the latest update.
I've restarted my ipod many times.
I don't know what else to do. Everything else runs fine, the apps and internet connectivity is all great. Can someone please help me? This has been an absolutely terrible month and my ipod crashing is the icing on the cake from ****.

ITunes shuts down when I plug in my iPod

I've used my iPod without a problem since Christmas. For the past week, when I plug in my iPod, iTunes shuts down due to an unnamed error.
I have reinstalled all my USB drivers, removed all of my Apple software twice and reinstalled it twice (once with the guidance of an Apple tech via phone). The Apple tech guy sent me to the Apple store to replace my iPod, which I did. But none of that has fixed the problem.
So now, I'm left with an empty iPod that can't sync with my library because iTunes keeps shutting down when I plug in the iPod. The people at the Apple store said they couldn't help me further because I have a PC. The people at Microsoft won't take any responsibility because iTunes is an Apple product. So, I'm left with a $200 iPod that is suddenly for some unexplained reason, shutting down iTunes. So now, both the iPod and iTunes are worthless.
Does anybody know how to fix this problem? I'm a singer and depend upon my iPod for rehearsal, so I need it fixed ASAP. Any help would be much appreciated.

Sorry I wasn't very clear the first time. Changing the Drive Letter is done through Disk Management in Windows. I suggested you open the itunes preferences in hopes that you would then be able to connect your ipod without it crashing.
To change the drive letter:
Since we know this trick works
First open itunes, then select Edit-Preferences and leave this open.
Then, follow the steps [here|http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1493]
I use Q, R and T for my ipods so the computer doesn't confuse it with other removable devices.

ITunes won't open when I plug in my iPod.

I added some more songs to iTunes, and when I plugged in my iPod, iTunes didn't open or anything. It did nothing.
What do I do????

Did you do this:
Removing and reinstalling iTunes and other software components for Windows Vista, Windows 7, or Windows 8

When i plug in my ipod, i get nothing

the manual says that when i plug in my ipod, itunes is supposed to come up. well, mine doesn't. i downloaded itunes and everything, but it won't work. i can get songs loaded onto my itunes account, but they don't load to my ipod when hooked up.

Is your iPod still beeping when you connect it to your computer?
I would suggest that you try putting your iPod into disk mode (not while connected to your computer).
to put your iPod into disk mode, follow the instructions here:
Putting iPod into disk mode
Then, with your iPod in disk mode, connect it. Does it act okay and show up in iTUnes now, or not?
If it doesn't, then take a look at these articles, and see if they help with your issue (if your iPod is being recognized in "My Computer", then skip the last article):

iTunes 7 doesn't recognize iPod
iPod missing in "My Computer" or in iTunes for Windows

ITunes stops responding when I plug in my iPod. I have updated iTunes to latest version, still crashes. OS is Vista.

iTunes stops responding when I plug in my iPod. I have updated iTunes to latest version, still crashes. OS is Vista. How do I fix this?

Hm... Strange.
I had reset the iPhone.
I tried disabling the auto-launch of iPhoto, and...
...when I plugged iPhone in, it started to freeze iTunes, but after a minute or so, the iPhone started synching. I found this odd because I had disabled auto-sync (I press Sync in iTunes when I want to have it Sync).
Now, of course, I do want auto-launch of iPhoto back on, since I like it for when I attach my digital cameras. I hope that when I set it back, it won't re-introduce the problem.
The restart I did may have helped. I resist restarting because my wife's account is often open and she frequently leaves unsaved files up, so it is a pain to respectfully close out her work and then restart.

When I plug in my iPhone, iTunes freezes and crashes, what is going on?

I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling iTunes, as well as restoring my iPhone to factory settings. But whenever I plug in my phone, itunes crashes. It works with other programs but I've ran out of ideas. Anyone had this problem before?
