Why does iTunes no longer open automatically when iPad is connected?

Why does iTunes no longer open automatically when iPad is connected? and iPhone as well?  Setting to "auto open" is selected, but iTunes will not open automatically. Problem seems to have begun with upgrade to Lion.

Good luck getting an answer...I posted the same question a day ago.   I can only assume it's a glitch in iTunes 10.5.

  • HT1209 I've successfully imported the videos I've shot with my iphone5 into iphoto on my MacBookPro but they're only showing up as still shots, ie the imported videos don't play! Itunes no longer opens automatically when syncing!

    I've successfully imported the videos I've shot with my iphone5 into iphoto on my MacBookPro but they're only showing up as still shots, ie the imported videos don't play! Itunes no longer opens automatically when syncing, and when I open itunes it shows that there are zero "home movies" in there, meaning that it never grabbed the videos from my phone either. What to do? Thanks!

    tl:dr?
    Really?
    There was a short version expressly for people who weren't bothered to read a myriad of text.
    Meh, not that it matters anymore. I ended up redownloading 70-odd albums, so I have the bulk of my music back. And I still have no idea what iTunes did with my files, but I'll make sure it never does it again.
    I would thank you for the help but you were utterly useless. Oh well, carry on.

  • Itunes no longer opening automatically when iphone connected

    iTunes sees the iphone if I launch iTunesbut it no longer opens automatically.
    could it be a preferences file problem?

    Hmm if click the Apple >> system preferences >> users and groups >> login items, do you have itunes helper listed?
    You can also try this:
    Open in Image Capture in /Applications with your iphone connected.  In the lower left, you'll see "connecting this iphone opens with" (if you don't see it, click the triangle/box icon to show it).  Click the menu >> select "Other" and navigate to itunes and choose that.  Quit Image Capture.
    Test.

  • ITunes no longer opens automatically

    iTunes no longer opens automatically when I connect any of my devices (iPad 2, iPhone 4, iPod Nano 5th Gen) to my 64-Bit Windows 7 PC.
    In each case the option to open iTunes when the device is connected has been checked in the iTunes Device Summary. However, I iTunes will only open manually.  Admittedly, this is not a big deal, but it makes me wonder why iTunes has stopped responding properly.

    First, try reinstalling the latest version of iTunes. If that doesn't work, try restarting AMDS:

  • Since installing 10.5, Itunes will no longer open automatically when I connect my Iphone or insert a CD.  Nor will it, when I insert a CD, recognize the CD unless I close Itunes and open it again.  Any ideas?

  • Why does itunes crash upon opening after the software update?

    Why does itunes crash upon opening after the software update? Everything worked fine until I decided to update this morning and as soon as the computer rebooted, the error message appeared.  Is there anything available to fix this?

    I answered the same question in a similar post.  It's all to do with the wireless sync. 
    I used the following method to stop iTunes from constantly restarting -
    Open task manager
    Select the 'Processes' tab.
    Look for 'iTunesHelper.exe'
    Select 'iTunesHelper.exe'  then click on 'end process'
    Hope this helps.

  • Itunes doesn t open automatically when iphone 4 is plugged

    hi guys....still have this stupid problem....my itunes10 doesn t open automatically when my iphone4(5.0.1)is plugged even if the box(open itunes when iphone is connected is "on")........tried everything but still not working.......what should i do??should i delete itunes and downloaded again??
    thanks

    Hey Alexander,
    Has iTunes Helper been removed from the login items? Go to System Preferences> Accounts> Login Items.
    You can add it again manually as described here: http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1610692
    you can also get it back by downloading and reinstalling the latest version of iTunes.

  • ITunes doesn't start automatically when ipod is connected.

    Even though I have clicked on the place that says itunes will start automatically when iPod is connected to pc, it doesn't. I have to click on iTunes everytime, and then it takes a while to run.
    Anyone have any ideas what might be the problem?

    hi joyful!
    just checking. reboot the PC, and prior to launching itunes or plugging in the ipod, bring up your Task Manager to the "processes" tab.
    is there an iTunesHelper.exe running in your processes?
    Background processes installed with iTunes 6 for Windows

  • IPhoto opens automatically when iPhone is connected

    iPhoto for Mac (Yosemite) opens automatically when iPhone (iOS 8) is connected. I have "no application" chosen in iPhoto preferences and Image Capture has no preference options in the menu. I can find nothing in System Preferences OS X 10 or in Setting iOS 8. Where do I turn off the automatic iPhoto start?

    This is most likely because it is  asking you to choose photos to sync to your computer. I don't know how to get rid of it though. Hope you find the answer!

  • ITunes No Longer Launches Automatically When My iPhone Plugs In

    So as the subject line says, my iPhone no longer starts iTunes when it is automatically plugged in. It just stopped doing this after I talked to AppleCare to get my MobileMe working (my computer is old so it uses .Mac but it wouldn't load successfully so AppleCare changed some preferences around). Anyway, now when I plug my iPhone in, iPhoto launches but in order to get my phone to perform a backup, I have to manually open iTunes when before both iTunes and iPhoto launched automatically.
    Anybody know how I can get it back to launching automatically when I plug my phone in to the computer?

    Like the poster "Sig", I have this problem as well.
    I checked the Login Items in the preferences and the radio button was checked. So, that's not the case. Nor was I using any iPhone utility either.
    Now, I tried all alternate USB ports on my Mac Pro and I also tried plugging into my iMac 20' 2.0Ghz Core 2 Duo. My iPhone is not recognized on either. I think it's something specific to iPhone v3.01 and 3.1 software. Because, I've not upgraded my iMac's iTunes yet. So, I think we can either rule out it being iTunes' fault. That or this iTunesHelper needs is broken... if that is the case.
    So, do we have some better solutions to this problem?
    PS: Oh, and yes, I did update iTunes to v9.0.1 on my Mac Pro. Still no response.
