When i plug in my phone to my computer it doesnt open to itunes immediately like it use to.
is it my phone or the computer?
The iTunes software squints missed a beat. Some of you will say that this is not a shock but, really, this is the kind of nit that they usually cover pretty well.
Usually in iTunes you can choose if you want the program to open automatically when you plug in your iPod. The option is set on a per-iPod basis: open with one 'Pod but don't with another. In iTunes 7.7 the option is still there but, for some reason in this version, if you have checked the global option to "Disable automatic syncing" then the per-'Pod option to control automatic iTunes launch gets grayed-out and not accessible -- no matter which way it is set or which way you want to switch it.
Ack!
Work around: go to the global option to "Disable automatic syncing" and uncheck it. Then go back to the iPod page and set the "Open iTunes when this iPod is connected" option as you like it, then ... go back and reset the "Disable automatic syncing" again.

I notice when I plug in my phone to my computer and look at what's "On this iPhone" it says that I have a book on there (one that was a free download from something), but I don't have iBooks installed on my phone. How do I remove the book?
Hi tinashah817,
Was this book downloaded using iBooks, or from another application? If it was from iBooks you will need to install that application to delete it.
See this article about managing your iBooks library on your iPhone -

Once the book has been deleted from the iPhone you can uninstall the iBooks application if you so desire.

I got a new iphone and entered all my new information, but when i plugged my new phone into the computer with all my old information, it synced that information onto my new phone. is there any way to reverse it?
While that may work9I do not think it will) with iTunes purchased music it will not work for other music.
- Transfer iTunes purchases by:
iTunes Store: Transferring purchases from your iOS device or iPod to a computer
- For other music you will need a third-party program like one of those discussed here.

In need of help figuring this phone stuff out! I am trying to get all the apps from my husbands old phone to his new one. I have already backed up the old phone and got everything onto iTunes, but every time I plug the new iPhone 5s into my computer it says that the version of iTunes is not correctly localized for this language and asks for me to run the English version. I have no idea how to do that? Please help.

I recently installed icloud on my computer, and now when I plug in my ipod touch it tells me "ipod can not be used because Apple Mobile Device service is not started". I can not find anything on my computer or my touch that seems to have anything to do with it. Anybody have any suggestions?
I'd start with the following document with that one:

We have two iphones in our house and they are both on the same itunes account. When I plug in my phone, my number shows up but it syncs giving me the music and contacts from the other phone. Is it possible to have itunes just see the stuff from my phone when I plug it in. I have had to create a new contacts list and I want to store it in itunes because this phone is a back-up phone. My regular iphone is being repaired. When I get back the phone from repairs, I want to be able to sync it so that itunes sees my contacts and not my daughters stuff. Is this possible?
