How to stop iTunes from launching when iPhone is connected?

I have the "Disable automatic syncing for all iPhones and iPods" checked in my Windows version if iTunes. But when I try to charge my iPhone, it still comes up. Is there any way to disable this. Windows also detects a camera device. I do all my iPhone stuff at home on my Mac, but at work I have a PC and I want to be able to charge my phone using the USB cable. But I don't want iTunes to launch or the PC to detect the camera device. Any ideas or suggestions?
Thanks

Here's what I did using Windows Vista Home Premium. First, when I connected my iPhone, an AutoPlay dialog box popped up asking me what I wanted to do. Towards the bottom, there was some blue text that stated "Set AutoPlay defaults in Control Panel" and I clicked on it. When the Control Panel AutoPlay applet opened up, I scrolled down towards the bottom and found a list of devices which included "Apple iPhone." From there, I selected "Take No Action" from the drop-down list and have lived happily ever after.
Hope that helped. Good luck.

  • How to prevent iTunes from launching when iPad is connected?

    I don't want iTunes 11.0.1 to launch every time I connect my iPad (3rd generation, running iOS 6.0.1) to my Mini. I want to decide if I want iTunes, and then, if I do, launch it manually. How may this be accomplished?
    Notes:
    1.  iTunes .. Preferences .. Devices ==> "Prevent ... from syncing automatically" is UNchecked.
    2.  (in iTunes while connected) iPad .. Summary .. Options ==> "Open iTunes when this iPad is connected" is UNchecked.
    3.  When iTunes auto-launches, it does NOT sync. It "mounts" the iPad and then sits idle.
    TIA for any ideas,
    Mark

    With the iPad connected and (at least in my case) iTunes NOT running, start the program "Image Capture" (mine is version 6.1). In the lower left will be a label "Connecting this iPad opens:" and below that label is a drop-down box which, in my case, was set to iTunes (don't ask me how), and I have since changed to "No application".
    Gee, that was obvious.

  • ITunes 8 - Win: STOP iTunes from launching when I connect iPhone???

    Hello,
    I have searched around a lot and have seen various responses to this question, but cannot seem to find a definitive way to stop iTunes from launching every time I connect my iPhone 3G.
    If this is possible, can someone please provide specific instructions on how to do this?
    Windows Vista - iPhone 3G - iTunes 8
    Thank you!

    Google is your friend, Chad.

    "+However, there is a workaround solution:+
    +Allowing auto-syncing for all devices in Preferences, and then turning automatic syncing off for the device in Summary, corrects the problem and prevents iTunes from auto-launching when the device is connected.+"
    It may be Mac specific, but maybe not. Try it out. If not, continue to Google for "Disable iTunes Auto Launch (or auto start).

  • How to prevent Aperture from launching when iPhone is docked.

    How can I stop Aperture from launching and trying to import the photos from my iPhone every time I put the iPhone in its dock? It is annoying !

    image capture (the program) is recognizing your iPhone as a camera ... you have it set to open Aperture when a camera is connected, yes ???
    well ... the only way to turn it off (to the best of my knowledge) would be to open image capture and set it to do nothing ... that is when any camera/card/iPhone is connected image capture does nothing ... you will manually have to open aperture and import from your cards/cameras ...

  • How can I stop iTunes from launching when I hit the button on my head phones

    On my MBP I have some head phones that have an inline mic with call answer button. The button on the head phones is fairly sensitive and I tend to bump it on accident often. When I hit the button iTunes is launched or if I have it open it starts music.
    Is there anyway to stop this from happening? This is driving me crazy!

    This problem has been an issue for a number of months and has led to frustration and public humiliation on countless occasions.
    When disconnecting from my Bose Soundlink at home (playing nothing) in order to taking my laptop on the run I open my laptop to find that the entire contents of my iTunes playlist is being belted in public. The subway, the library, my classroom is not the time or place for my laptop to make the decision to begin playing my music without permission. When at home and my Soundlink goes on standby I have nearly had a heart attack when my laptop spontaneously begins blaring my music when I wasn't even touching the thing.
    I love my Soundlink and I love my Mac but together the devices are causing no end of aggravation with no fix in sight. With each OS update I hope the problem is addressed but to no avail, it is getting tiresome that such a flaw isn't being fixed in a timely manner.

  • Stop Photos from Launching when Iphone plugged it

    I would like to stop the Photos application from launching every time I plug my iPhone into my computer.  There was a way to do it with iPhoto but I cannot seem to find a way with this new Photo app.  Has anyone figured it out or have I missed finding the instruction somewhere?
    Thanks

    With your iPhone connected, let Photos launch one more time.
    Enter the key combination ⌥⌘S to reveal the sidebar.
    In the sidebar select your iPhone.
    Disable the checkmark "Open Photos for this device":
    Then quit Photos.
    Do the same in Image Capture, if necessary.
    In Image Capture:
    The option has to be set for each device individually. With the device connected to USB, you have to click the tiny disclosure triangle in the lower left corner of the sidebar to reveal the option.

  • How can I stop iTunes from launching when I disconnect my Bluetooth device?

    This has only become a problem recently. Whenever I disconnect -- not connect, disconnect -- my Bluetooth Bose SoundLink Mini speaker from my MacBook Pro iTunes will auto-launch. I am current with Mavericks and iTunes updates. There must be a configuration switch that can be tweaked to prevent this from occurring.
    Has anyone else encountered this problem? Is there anyone who is a MacBook Pro "expert" who understands what the interactions are between the Bluetooth driver and app software and iTunes, and can speak with authority on what might be going on here?

  • GRRR!   How to stop itunes from opening when plugging in touch??

    the option "open itunes when the ipod this connected" is grayed out, on the Summary screen, in itunes. I've googled and others have had this same issue with NO ANSWER.
    EDIT: s c r e w it. I got took ituneshelper out of startup, using msconfig. it shouldn't require these kinds of workarounds!

    Image Capture only has an import into option.  There is no option to select what happens when a specific device is plugged into the computer.
    The settings in Image Capture are specific for each of your iPhone, iPads, cameras.
    Plug in each of your iOS devices. Select it in the devices list.
    The set "Connecting this iPhone/iPad/Camera   opens" and set it to "No application".

  • How to stop iPhoto from launching when Kodak Photo CD is inserted...

    Hi-
    I do not what iPhoto to launch automatically when I insert a Kodak Photo CD. I looked for a preference to stop this, but could not find anything. Can anyone help?

    Mac OS 10.4.9
    Thanks.

    Thanks for the quick reply...
    In the Image Capture General Preferences, I have "No Application" chosen to open when a camera is connected. This preferences, however, does not effect Kodak Photo CD's. iPhoto still launches.

    It is not possible to install the iTunes store on an iPhone, nor is it necessary.
    The iTunes store app is already installed in iOS and cannot be removed.
    What is the real problem that is occurring?

  • How do I stop photos from launching when I plug in camera

    Can't find anything in the preferences that will stop this new app from launching when I plug in cameras or phones.

    Plug in and let it load, then click on the camera/phone on the left hand pane and uncheck the box:
    You should also be able to do this via Image Capture (in the Applications Folder) but I haven't tested it specifically.

  • How to stop iTunes from looking in old media folder location?

    Several years ago, I moved my iTunes media onto an external drive attached to my Airport Extreme, because I was  running out of room on the internal drive.
    I had all the usual problems with iTunes looking on the internal drive, but it mostly worked okay, as long as I didn't mind only being able to access my music at home.
    A few months ago, I got a 2TB internal drive, and told iTunes to use the default media folder location on the internal drive again. I also check to keep iTunes media folder organized, and to copy files to the iTunes media folder when adding them to the library. I had already manually copied the folder structure over from the external drive.
    I noticed that when I would start iTunes, I would see the activity light on the external drive, and it would be mounted on my Desktop. I checked, and the location for the media folder was still correct in preferences. I checked a file or two and (this seems to be gone in iTunes 12.1) it was still showing the file location on the other drive.
    I tried to manually "cut the cord" by renaming the folder on the external drive, but iTunes was cleverer than that.
    What do I need to do to stop iTunes from looking for files in the old location? I'd like to reclaim that space, but I'm afraid to remove anything over there, in case iTunes has been putting things over there instead of the new, correct location.
    This is a MacBook Pro 8,2 i7, with 10.10.3 and iTunes 12.1.x.
    Thanks,
    Sean

    Manually moving files yourself and telling iTunes where to store media in preferences does not do what oh so many people who come here with issues think it does. Changing iTunes' media storage preferences only tells iTunes where to store new media.  iTunes still looks for old media where it last saw it, namely on your external drive.  You have to let iTunes do the relocating of the old media files by consolidating to the internal drive.  It will cheerfully ignore any changes you do in Finder yourself.

  • ITunes automatic launch when iPhone connected

    I suddenly have a new problem, and am uncertain as to what I did. When I plug my iPhone into my MacBook, in the past, iTune automatically launched and recognized my phone. Does not do that anymore.

    Make sure, on your iPhone's screen in iTunes, that "Open iTunes when this iPhone is connected" is checked.
    I am seeing the same thing. I have to manually launch iTunes on my Mac Pro.
    i like , are you referring to the checkbox in iTunes on the Mac/PC that actually reads, "Automatically sync when iPhone is connected" or a screen on the iPhone?
    I have the above box checked yet iTunes still fails to open when I plug in my iPhone.
    Any ideas?

  • ITunes 9 doesn't launch when iPhone is connected

    Apparently this is a bug in iTunes 9. Hopefully their will be an update shortly to fix this minor annoyance.

  • How to STOP Mail from launching at startup

    I hate even posting this question because it seems like I'm missing something easy. I want to stop mail from launching at start-up because I now have entourage.
    I can find how to TURN OFF mail and TURN ON entourage at start up.
    Mail: 2.1.3
    Entourage: 12.2.3

    You're overlooking the obvious, as you suspected.
    Go to System Preferences > Accounts > Login Items and remove Mail from that list. If you want Entourage to startup, add that to the list.
    However, there's no good reason to use Entourage over Mail, especially because it stores all your mail in a single file, so if that file ever becomes corrupted (it will, at the worst possible time) all your mail is gone; it cannot be recovered.
    Secondly, you shouldn't startup applications at launch, since that will slow down your startup time and can easily cause other problems before you even get the chance to do anything with the computer. If you need to use a program, launch it after the Finder has loaded completely.
