When iPhone 3GS is connected iTunes doesn't launch

Updated to iTunes 9, updated iPhone to 3.1. When iPhone gets connected iTunes doesn't launch automatically. I should add though, that my ipod shuffle when connected does auto launch iTunes.

Here's what I did: uncheck "disable autosync for ipod and iphones" in itunes/settings. Then connect your phone, go to summary pane and choose "sync when this phone is connected". Go back to itunes/settings and select "disable autosync..." again. Check the summary pane again, autosync should be garyed out again. Close itunes, disconnect the phone. Connect again and itunes should auto launch without starting to sync.

  • ITunes 10.3.1(55) on Mac showing 42408 error when iPhone 3GS is connected for syncing

    I am trying to connect my iPhone 3GS to iTunes 10.3.1(55) on a Macbook pro but I am seeing the error "42408" and I am being asked to restore my iphone to factory settings.
    Please help as I don't want to undergo the risk of losing all my data.
    Thanks.

    teefster,
    not sure this helps; but, I've found that if the remote app doesn't connect I close it out (double pressing the home button and 'sliding up' the remote app (ios7)) Then when I restart the remote app - it seems to connect.
    Same behavoir now on my iPad since I've update the remote app. Ironically itunes recognizes the ipad WITHOUT having to 'p'air it'! My iphone 5S must be paired to itunes =:0
    now that all our iphones are on the most current version of ios7 and have the most current version of the remote app - the connect to itunes is now glitchy; but, still usable with the aforementioned work around. Ironcially, when either the ios7 OR the remote we just the most previous version they seemed to connect to my itunes without issue.
    BTW - see this thread for help on down reving your remote app:
    https://discussions.apple.com/message/23946928#23946928
    Agreed Apple seems a little remiss in the supporting the backward compatibilty of the app.
    thanks for taking the time to reply!

  • Laptop Crash when iPhone 3Gs is connected

    Hi everyone,
    I have a problem as per above..Details as per below:
    1. When i first connect my laptop and iPhone, it works well.. but soon after few days without any synchronizing(which means few days of iPhone usage) , my laptop immeadiately goes into blue screen when i connect my iPhone to my laptop. The same problem occur until i disconnect / pull the USB cable away.
    2. Thinking that this might be one off kind of problem, i reconnect after few hours and same things happen.
    3. I send my laptop for checking and format after that.
    4. I went back to Maxis Malaysia ( authorized iPhone 3G dealer in Malaysia ) to check and apparently all iPhone belongs to the tech guy cannot connect to this laptop. I was advised to check my drivers etc.
    5. Drivers all checked and updated.
    6. iPhone restored to factory setting via iTunes.
    7. Voila, i can connect my iPhone and laptop after that.
    8. 3 days into the-newly-restored-iPhone, the same problem occured again..
    9. i have already disable my webcam and removed the software needed to use the webcam as i read it in forum but yet, same problem happen..
    Seriously, this has been getting on my nerve and i need advise from fellow iPhone users.. I'm not too expert on those tech / IT stuffs .. I only know basic .. Would be great if someone can help me through this.
    Merry Christmas and Happy New Year....
    Thanks and Cheers,

    Hi, I have this problem with certain model of Acer Notebook.
    The cause is due to the camera drivers conflict between iphone and the one install on the PC.
    to resolve there are 2 ways
    1) remove the camera drivers from the PC
    2) empty your camera roll in your iphone.
    Hope this helps.

  • I want to back up an Iphone 3G and put all the content into Iphone 4. When Iphone 4 is connected to Itunes I do not get an Option to restore from Iphone 3G. IOS 3G - 4.2.1

    I want to back up an Iphone 3G and put all the content into Iphone 4. After I have backed up the Ipone 3G and then when Iphone 4 is connected to Itunes I do not get an Option to restore back up from Iphone 3G. The only devive is see in the drop down list is my Iphone 4. The IOS on Iphone 3G is 4.2.1 and on Iphone 4 is 4.1.
    Please share if anyone has any solution to such a problem.

    You will first have to update your iPhone 4 in order to restore it from the backup of your 3G. Follow the directions here:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4972
    This is an erase/restore deal, so make sure all of your data is on your computer before you begin. iOS 6.1.2 will be installed on your iPhone 4.
    Once done, on your iPhone 4: Settings>General>Reset>Erase All Content & Settings. You'll now be able to restore your 3G backup to your iPhone 4.

    YOu'll have to restore, nothing else you can do.
    If you have an older backup you can restore to that.

    iphone 3gs stuck in itunes update mode

    Hello troffs,
    Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
    For more information on this, take a look at:
    If you can't update or restore your iOS device
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1808
    Turn off your device. If you can't turn it off, press and hold the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons at the same time and wait a few seconds for it to turn off.
    Plug the device's USB cable into your computer only.
    Hold down the device's Home button as you connect the USB cable to it.
    When you see the Connect to iTunes screen, release the Home button. If you don't see this screen, try steps 1 through 3 one more time.
    iTunes should open and display a message such as: "iTunes has detected an iPhone in recovery mode. You must restore this iPhone before it can be used with iTunes."
    Use iTunes to restore your device.
    Best of luck,
    Mario

  • Q: i have recently aquired an iPhone 3GS and need iTunes do activate it.But iTunes wont download onto my computer

    Q: i have recently aquired an iPhone 3GS and need iTunes do activate it.But iTunes wont download onto my computer. I am running Windows Vista Service Pack 2. Please HELP!!

    I'd first try experimenting with a different browser. If you've been using IE for the download, try Firefox instead (or vice versa).
    If no luck there, there's some other suggestions in the following document. (You're not getting the error message, but your problem here falls into the same general class of download trouble.)

  • I restore my US version  iphone 5s  by connecting itunes after restore it shows hello and select country, and activation, but it does not activating why? is it work in china ?

    i restore my US version  iphone 5s  by connecting itunes after restore it shows hello and select country, and activation, but it does not activating why? is it work in china ?

    If the iPhone is locked to a US carrier, you cannot use the SIM card of another carrier on it to either activate it or use the iPhone.
    If you want to use your iPhone with China unicom, you need to get it unlocked by your US carrier.  Contact them to see what their unlocking policy is and if you qualify.

  • My iphone 3gs wont update. itunes and ipod touch update no problem, my GF has exact same phone and hers updated also...any advice?

    My iphone 3gs wont update. itunes and ipod touch update no problem, my GF has exact same phone and hers updated also...any advice?

    If I was in your shoes, I would choose to restore the iPhone with iTunes and then choose to NOT restore a previous backup.  I'd then go on to set up the phone as though it were totally new, and choose the stuff to load onto it.
    The reason I'd go through that trouble.. even though it meant losing a lot of settings and having to set stuff up again .. is because I wasn't sure I could trust the backup that it's restoring from.
    If you have trouble again after doing the fresh reload -- especially if it's soon after you do it -- you may have a hardware issue with the phone, such as faulty flash memory or a processor chip that's failing. If that's the case, you'll want to consider your repair/replacement options at that point.

    Does the iPod see the network?
    Do you get an error message?
    Does it connect to other networks?

  • Itunes doesn't launch automatically, could you help me?

    Hello, when I connect Iphone or Ipad, I tunes doesn't launch automatically even if the option in Itunes is selected. My OS is windows xp.

    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.
