Can I sync with iTunes staying minimized?

OK, this admittedly is a nit.
When iTunes is minimized, I replace my iPhone in its dock. I do this all the time. (One reason: I can't edit my To Do lists, which are in my iPhone Notes, from my Mac.) It's annoying that iTunes restores its window to announce to me it's syncing. Yeah, I know you are, iTunes, my iPhone just told me the same thing. Go away and let me get to work.
Anyone know a way to prevent iTunes from restoring on sync? If not, I do know how to send in a suggestion, thx. Hopefully I've just overlooked something obvious.
(Also annoying, if iTunes is open (window displayed and in foreground) to Music list while a song is playing for example, and the iPhone is docked, the context is switched to the iPhone sync information. Context isn't switched for iTunes downloads, so why syncs? Less understandable, if a video is playing, it hiccups -- not very multiprocessor-like.)
Once everything is working, plugging the phone into the dock is a background action, Apple.
Thanks in advance.

Hey ExtraTerrestre,
There is no option to stop iTunes from popping up when starting the sync process. You can disable the syncing from the iPhones summary tab or from iTunes> Edit> Preferences> Syncing.
You can leave feedback or request feature changes online here:

    Perform a Reset... Try again...

    Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears. Release the Buttons.

    You are correct.  Syncing should transfer any purchased media, including videos, from your device to your iTunes library provided your computer is authorized for the Apple ID used to make these purchases.  You mentioned that you have uninstalled iTunes before, but if you didn't follow this guide exactly, uninstalling iTunes and all of its components in the order specified, it may not have been successful so you should try again:  Windows XP or Windows Vista/7.

  • I had to restore my iPhone to factory settings and now I can't sync with iTunes.

    I had to restore my phone and I was able to use the most recent backup. However, when I plug into iTunes, it keeps asking if I want to restore from a backup or start as a new iPhone. I have already restored from the backup twice, but the message won't go away. How can I sync with iTunes?

    I used the solution posted here: https://discussions.apple.com/message/7838243#7838243
    It's weird that you have to restore from backup, and then choose to start as a new phone. But I didn't lose ANYTHING when I did it that way! Thank goodness!

  • My PC is recognising iPad 3 as a camera, can 't sync with iTunes

    Help required, just got back from US with my new iPad 3, this was fully registered at time of purchase. Got home to sync with iTunes and it comes up as a camera.
    Can anyone who has fathomed this problem please help.
    Shaunboy

    Mine does this all the time. I have an image capture program to download photos from my camera. If my iPad has new photos in the Camera roll my Mac thinks the iPad is a camera. I just dismiss the dialog box that comes up and start iTunes. All goes well after that.
    As an alternative you can go through your image capture application, which ever one it is and change the preference to do nothing when a camera is connected.

  • Can't sync with iTunes because of a internal error

    I was doing a restore of my iphone 5 because none of the art work matched the song or the artist....All was fine I was downloading my Itunes Library from the cloud and all the sudden I got a error saying I cannot sync with itunes due to a internal error now its stuck I cant get in...
    Please help these problems I never had until iOS 7 this downloading from the cloud requires a large bit transfer ..I feel it would be good to have the option to be able to download itune the old way by syncing with you computer via USB for individual song the cloud is great but large files take way to long and that's were the errors occur..
    Also I'm in Bahrain were cell,wifi data transer is not as good as some places in the world...

    This seems to be a commom problem. Mine occured in the middle of updating to the IOS 5. It didn't do it to my daughter's but it did it to mine & now whenever I try to sync or backup it constatantly says to delete old backup & that it's corrupted. Well I tried the deleting & The encrypting with the password & it still won't backup my phone & still says that same message. You would think Apple would give this help free automatically when they do an update!! I should have just left well enough alone I guess. But if anyone has any advice on how to fix it without deleting all my content (which is a lot), I would greatly appreciate it~!

  • IPod Touch can't sync with iTunes.

    I have an iPod Touch, 5th generation.  After updating to iOS 7.0.4, I am no longer able to sync with iTunes, ver 11.1.3.8.  It gets stuck on step 4 of 4, "waiting for changes to be applied".  Before the update, there was no problem with syncing.  Does anyone have a way to correct this issue?  I am using Windows 7.  I really haven't liked anything about iOS 7, is there anyway to go back to a previous operating system?

    Maybe:

  • Can't Sync with itunes 9.0.2

    For no apparent reason, ever since I upgraded from last version 8 of itunes I can't sync more than one song from autofill even though I have more than 50 songs.
    My ipod shows up in my computer and in itunes but it just doesn't sync at all.
    I don't understand why it DOESN't work but I've got other programs that sync without a problem. I figure that I tunes 9 isn't compatible with ipod shuffle 2nd gen. Apple really messed me up this time, they really want me to get a new ipod.
    this *****,
    Daniel

    Stupid itunes decided to work after I uninstalled using revo uninstaller and reinstalled it after restart. But now I can only sync at a horribly slow rate. Wth. It should sync like 30 songs in a second with USB 2.0 but its syncing like 1 song in 5-10 seconds.
    Does anybody have any clue as to why its syncing so slowly?
    I've already "reset" but could not "restore" using restore utility since Vista isn't supported.
    BTW, I have the ipod shuffle 2nd gen, if it wasn't already obvious enough.
    And Also Vista SP2 with lastest updates for both it and itunes 9.0.2
    Thanks for any help,
    Greatly appreciated.

  • My ipod can't sync with iTunes 9

    Can't sync my iPod with updated iTunes
    Posted: Nov 20, 2009 6:17 PM Reply Email
    I plugged my iPod into my computer today (it has always worked before) and none of my 600+ songs showed up on iTunes page altho' I can hear them all on the Nano. It kept saying that my iPod is synced with another folder. I updated iTunes to the latest one (9) and still I can't get my music to show up on the iTunes page.
    How do I get all my songs off my Nano (3rd gen) iPod onto the updated iTunes? I can see my old songs in other file folders.
    Thanks, Linda
