Why won't itunes pop up when i connect my ipod?

I restarted all my settings on my iPod and now I'm trying to back up with iTunes. It tells me to connect with iTunes so I plug in my iPod and it doesn't pop up. I clicked the iTunes app and it opened up but on my iPod it showed that it was not connected. My iPod was charging and it said on iTunes that it was connected. From iTunes I went to settings and tried to checkmark the box that says "open iTunes when iPod is connected" but it was grayed out. ( btw I'm using a mac)
ANY advice I would be very grateful for!!!! Please help meeee!!!!

Ohmigod thank you!!!! Im updating itunes right now!!! thank you!!!!!!! ill tell u if it works!!

Why won't iTunes automatically open when I connect my iPhone 6

iTunes is set to open when I connect my phone but will not do so. I have to physically go to the program and open it each time I connect my phone. This also happens when I connect my iPad mini. This began when I upgraded to the iPhone 6. Before upgrading I did not have this problem.

Hey there Ray_J,
I understand that you want iTunes to be opening every time you connect your phone to your computer. You may wish to adjust this setting in your iTunes preferences to affect this behavior:
Prevent iPods, iPhones, and iPads from syncing automatically
Prevent devices from automatically syncing with this iTunes library when a device is connected. To sync a device, click the Sync button when the device is connected.
iTunes 12 for Mac: iTunes Devices preferences
https://support.apple.com/kb/PH19595
If this is unchecked, iTunes will open automatically when you connect an iOS device. Thanks for being a part of the Apple Support Communities!
Cheers,
Braden

ITunes shuts down when I connect my iPod 30gb

I desperately need help. Recently my computer crashes and I reformated it. So I had to reinstall iTunes. Ever since then iTunes shuts down when I connect my iPod 30gb. A windows error message appears saying iTunes has encountered a problem and needs to shut down. I am unable to update my iPod which drives me crazy. Somebody please help!
I browsed through some threads which have similar problems as I do, but I am unable to reply in any. It says: This topic has been archived - replies are not allowed.
There's this thread here about the problem I am facing but I doesn't seem to understand the solution to it.

let's get a crash log from itunes, and send it to the Apple engineers for a look.
Typically, you'll need to configure Dr. Watson on your PC in order to generate crash logs. Windows start menu -> Run. Type in "cmd". Hit return. At the prompt in the command line window that comes up, type in
drwtsn32 -i
And hit return.
This will create crash logs in Documents And Settings\All Users\Application Data\Microsoft\Dr Watson\. There'll usually be a file in here called "drwtsn32.log"
prior to collecting the itunes crash log, delete any existing crash logs in there. (we want to make sure we send the correct crash log.)
Generate the crash, collect the crash log, and and send it as an attachment to this email address.
in the email to Roy, be sure to include the following information:
- A link to the thread on Apple Discussions where the issue is being discussed
- The username you are using in the thread
- The version of iTunes you are using or trying to use
- the version of Windows you are using (mention service packs)
- A concise description of the issue you are seeing
- The exact text of the error message you are seeing

I've just downloaded itunes 12 onto my pc. When I connect my IPod classic 160gb, it's name shows up briefly before the ipod silhouette at the top left simply greys out and nothing happens.
Please advise.

I finally resolved my problem after spending way too much time on it. I simply handed my 160GB iPod to my husband to put his fav Stones & Beatles songs on and I went back to my 80GB Microsoft Zune which has never disappointed me.
After spending so much time trying to figure this out I did finally take it back to Apple Store who performed a diagnostic and found there was a problem with the device. They replaced it with a refurbished one which has similar issues. All I wanted to do was listen to my music. Was that too much to ask? So I am happy to be free of this problematic device. No more Apple for me!!

My internet won't work when not connected to wifi I have been in the Vodafone shop an they tried everything and could not fix it the last option was to restart the iPhone and it still hasn't worked

Update Server
Try:
- Powering off and then back on your router.
- iTunes for Windows: iTunes cannot contact the iPhone, iPad, or iPod software update server
- Change the DNS to either Google's or Open DNS servers
Public DNS — Google Developers
OpenDNS IP Addresses
- Try on another computer/network
- Wait if it is an Apple problem

Itunes stops working when I connect my Ipod

I have a 120GB ipod and have had a few problems with it but just minor things that have been easy to take care of. But this afternoon, I woke my computer up from sleep mode and I had my itunes working and all was well but then when I went to connect my ipod, I got a notification from my computer saying that my itunes stopped working, it checked for a solution and didn't find one and then it closed out my itunes. I tried opening it again but the exact same thing happened within seconds of pressing the button to open itunes, my ipod hadn't even come up yet in the left hand bar. I uninstalled my itunes and reinstalled it but the same thing keeps happening. If my ipod isn't connected to my computer then my itunes works just fine but the second it connects, my itunes doesn't work anymore, please help me

I have the same problem! Does anyone know how to help?

ITunes is freezing when I connect my iPod mini for syncing.

I am having problems with iTunes when I am connecting my Ipod to my computer, then Itunes freezes and want even force quit. I am running my Itunes library on an external hard drive, and when I moved the files over on my computer and disconnected the ext. hard drive, it worked. So the problem is being caused by Leopard, since this problem started after my upgrade from 10.4. I am running it all on a Mac Mini. I did an upgrade to Leopard at my sisters house and the same problem happened there as well, so now I can not sync any of my iPods running the library on an ext. hard drive, so I am thinking of going back to 10.4. Can not have all my music files on the Mac mini, because the internal hard disc is to small for all my music.

ITunes stops responding when I connect my iPod.

Background info: when I disconnected my iPod awhile ago, all of the music disappeared. I *did* safely remove it. However, while it was disconnecting, I somehow unlocked it (the hold button....do you know what I am talking about?), and then it said "Okay to disconnect" (or whatever that message is) so I disconnected it.
But then as I was unplugging it, it connected again or something. But it was too late. All of my music was gone.
Now whenever I plug it into the computer, iTunes does not function. I can see all the files on my iPod from when I was using it as an external backup drive, and can access those through finder. But nothing involving iTunes is functional.
Help, please?
Thanks in advance

Also, iTunes works normally when my iPod is *not* connected. It is up to date. I don't know if my iPod is up to date though....

Itunes shuts down when I connect my ipod video

I have a ipod video 60gb (the one right before they released the 80gb). I recently had to reinstall OS 10.4 due to freezing issues. Well, it still freezes, and it froze during the re-sync of the ipod and I had to reboot the ipod cause I had to reboot the computer. Now whenever I connect the ipod, it is recognized by the CPU, but whenever Itunes starts up with the ipod connected, it just shuts right down.

ITunes shuts down when I connect my IPod

Hello to all.
Everytime I connect my IPod to my PC, iTunes shuts down. If I disconnect the IPod, I can use iTunes. What happened? I already installed the newest software. The problem is new for me, some days ago I could use ITunes normally with my IPod. The second problem is, that I cant see and hear my music, which is still on my IPod. This problem exists since I got the problem with iTunes.

I would uninstall the ipod and itunes software, reboot and then reinstall it all.
Pricey

I Just upgraded to the lastest iTunes version, why does my iTunes freeze every time I connect my iPod but yet it still plays music?

I've never had this problem before but since I've updated my iTunes, it freezes as soon as my iPod gets connected. Ever more strange, the music plays in the background but yet iTunes is frozen. Any help?

It appears that my iTunes is recignizing my iPod as an iPhone for some reason...could that be the problem?
