Why won't my iTunes automatically open?

Until recently, my iTunes account has automatically opened whenever I connected my iPod. This is not a matter of hardware; I have tried with two cables, both of which work. Is this a sign of some type of failure to communticate between my iPod and iTunes? Also, I have selected "Open iTunes when this iPod is connected" and applied it, so that is hopefully not part of the issue.

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

Why won't .vcf files automatically open in Numbers anymore?

Why won't my .vcf folder from Mail open automatically in Numbers anymore?

Bob,
Have you tried opening the VCF files in Numbers 2.3 instead of the new version? Please review this information:
https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-6991
The best way to get contacts into a table in the new version of Numbers is to copy them from the "Contacts" application and paste into Numbers. In the previous version of Numbers you dragged contacts from Numbers (version 2.3) and dropped them on a sheet in Numbers.

Why won't my iTunes file open on my PC?

I have a Toshiba laptop (don't know the model or anything...) and I have the newest version of iTunes. When I click on the shortcut icon on my laptop, iTunes does not open. I have tried restarting it, right clicking on the icon and pressing 'open', and I am currently re-downloading iTunes. Will it still have my songs and playlists on it? I'm worried it won't still have the CDs and files I have downloaded into my iTunes. Does anybody have any suggestions as to how I can fix my iTunes?

Ummm, silly question here.
You, uhhh, DID remember that you must also copy the PDF to the other computers in order for it to open. Right?
Some folks have a mistaken belief that by linking to a PDF they are actually causing it to somehow be stored inside the Captivate SWF so it's always there.
Cheers... Rick

Why won't my iTunes window open

I am running iTunes with Windows 8.1. It seemed to be running perfectly fine a day ago, but now for some strange reason, when I try to open iTunes the little preview window shows that it is running but I cannot open the window. I tried uninstalling and reinstalling it but that did nothing.
Please help.

Why won't my iTunes stay open?

My iTunes Store shuts down after a few seconds of being open. I've restarted my phone, but that didn't change or fix the problem. Please help!

Hi, Kat_Winchester96.
Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities.
There are a couple of things you can try. The first would be to close all applications and multitasking and power cycling the device. Make sure your device has been updated to the most current iOS.
iOS: Force an app to close

When connected via USB, my Ipod Classic 160GB mounts as a disc drive, then changes to a white drive. When iTunes automatically opens, it crashes trying to mount and/ or sync. When it times out, my only choice is to restore, but that doesn't fix problem.

I'm running OS 10.6.8 on my 3.06 GHz iMac Intel Core 2 Duo.   I recently upgraded to iTunes 10.5.2. I'm not sure when the trouble started but I attempted a restore when the iPod would not play correctly. It would start to play a file and get stuck on 0 seconds. If I put the iPod on shufle, it will stall on 0 seconds for 15 seconds or so and then move on to the next track and stall again and so on.   Seemingly randomly, it will play a few tracks but eventually start skipping again. This will continue until the battery is depleted which is fairly quick since the drive is constantly spinning.
My 160GB iPod Classic after restore attempts now is up to date with 2.0.4. and of course, nothing works as it should and I would say the skipping issue is worse than ever.
When I connect with any of three USB connectors, the iPod mounts to the desktop as a grey/silver disk drive picon exactly like the Macintosh HD picon.   Then Finder will stall for a few minutes- spinning pinwheel. Somehow, the dock is never affected and I am able to open other applications like Safari or tab through open windows- just no action on the desktop. Eventually, iTunes automatically opens and Finder becomes responsive again. At this point the grey drive picon on the desktop becomes a white drive mount picon, but the iPod does not mount in iTunes, yet. At some point, the iPod attempts to sync, iTunes crashes with the spinning pinwheel and eventually times out and I am prompted to restore the iPod again. Once restored, the iPod properly mounts under devices in iTunes and, as I have done this several times, even occasionally changes to the regular iPod picon on the desktop.
I have restored several times going as far a completely deleting iTunes from my iMac, downloading the latest directly from Apple.com, and attempting to restore again, but to no avail.
I have even used the disk utility to verify and/or repair my Macintosh HD and iPod.
It seems lots of folks are going through this ordeal. Has anyone had any success in fixing the issue, even if only temporarily?

one more detail, after a restore, when I attempt to reload music to the ipod, if I try and move, say, 20 files, the transfer seems to work as it should but then stalls on the last file. Eventually, the status will change to "Updates Files on (my ipod)" a and suggests the iPod is syncing even though I have the auto sync feature turned off.
This process eventually works itself out, and seems to take longer relative to the number of files I attempt to transfer.   Once done, howver, if I try and eject and dismount the iPod, iTunes stalls with the spinning pinwheel and I am warned that the iPod is syncing again with the spinning candy cane status bar.     Eventually thisd works itself out and the iPod dismounts from iTunes and the desktop and eventually the iPod is free to disconnect.
Then if I try and play the music I just transfered, the iPod says there is no music loaded.
Ideas?

Why won't my Adobe Bridge open?

Why won't my Adobe Bridge Open? I keep getting an error message. I first installed the free trial of Illustrator CS 6, but a few days ago joined the creative cloud. I would just uninstall & reinstall Bridge, but its not in the list of apps to install. Since joining the cloud I have also installed photoshop & indesign. Doesn't Adobe have chat support? I used in when first signing up for Cloud. Now I can't find it.
Thanks!

Hi Trisher83,
Bridge gets installed along with other programs (like Illustrator or Photohop) so it might require uninstalling all CS6 products to be able to reinstall it.
I would uninstall all CS6 products and then reinstall one which includes Bridge from a new user account and test to see if you still get the error.

Why won't Photoshop Elements 12 open?

After being away for 3 months, I attempted to open and use PSE 12 and it does not open. Today I uninstalled and reinstalled thinking that would help, but it doesn't. It appears as though it's going to open, but the little "streaming" just stops. Your assistance in resolving this problem is greatly appreciated.

I am not a technician so I can't go too deep in the analysis... I did all I could imagine to do, I would like that somebody from Adobe would take care of this issue finding solution to the problem.

>Hoping that you get a break through in your troubleshooting. Do not give up. I kept searching and searching for an answer to my Photoshop Elements 12 Full Editor not opening while the Elements Organizer 12 would. I have reams of data from October 2013 to April 2014 troubleshooting of the issue. Everything pointed to an activation issue but I could never target the place to fix until my break through came unexpectedly. And, as I found out, the SLStore Folder and SLCache Folder have "something" to do with activation according to the Adobe person who put forth what turned out to be the solution for me. Based on my encounter with this problem, I would say Windows No, Photoshop Elements activation Yes.

And there we have the answer, the device was dropped. A hardware issue exists... nothing that we can do to fix it but suggest you replace the device with a newer model or seek an Out of Warranty exchange at the Apple store.
