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.

  • 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

    SteveFLHTCI:
    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 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 ...

  • Preventing iTunes from launching when connecting iPhone?

    I just want to put my iPhone in the cradle to charge it, not sync it or open any apps or anything else. Just charging. I have turned off the "automatic sync" feature in iTunes, so at least it doesn't sync every time i put my phone back, but I would really like to be able to not having to close iTunes all the time. It was easy fixing the auto-launch for iPhoto - is there a similar (or any, for that matter) that can fix the same thing for iTunes? Thx.
    (BTW, I have all the software upgrades possible.)

    There is a couple ways to accomplish this
    1. In the Summary screen uncheck automatically sync. Keep in mind you will now how to tell it when to sync.
    2. If you go to iTunes Preferences, then Syncing. You and Disable Syncing of any devices connecting to iTunes. And you will have to manually press the button to sync
    Hope this helps

  • 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?

    Thank you!

    "+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 can I prevent iPhoto from launching when I insert an SD card

    I recently upgraded to a new iMac retina and am having trouble disabling iPhoto from launching when an SD card is inserted.
    I have gone to iPhoto setting and disabled iPhoto from launching when a camera is connected.
    I have also gone into image capture and selected no application as the hidden option for SD card actions when inserted.
    Unfortunately the issue persists... two questions: can I do a terminal level disable to prevent iPhoto from launching or can I remove iPhoto from my computer?

    Have you tried this?
    Open the Image Capture app
    Select your SD Card
    Click the little widget in the bottom right corner of the window
    Select the program to launch, or "No application"
    it worked for me

  • How do I prevent iTunes from opening when I pug in my iPod?

    How do i prevent tunes from opening when i plug in my ipod?

    This will occur when there are photos and/or videos in the Camera Roll, which should be imported by your computer as with any other digital camera.
    Depending on the iPhoto version you are running, this can be done via iPhoto preferences > connected camera opens > select no application.

  • 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?

    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.

  • How do I prevent Elements from launching when I connect a flash drive?

    When I connect a flash drive or SD card to my computer, Photoshop Elements automatically launches a component to save and organize my photos. I already have a system in place to organize my pictures so do not want to use the one from Elements. How do I prevent the program from launching automatically?

      On Windows go to the Control Panel >> AutoPlay
    And change your settings to “Always Ask” for photos and videos and save.
    If your camera, phone or other devices are listed at the bottom you can also change those settings.

  • How to prevent iTunes from auto-launching at login

    For some reason, after every restart or logout/login, iTunes will auto-launch at login.
    I initially thought that iTunes Helper in Login Items may be the culprit. So, I removed it from the list of Login Items. But, iTunes still launches automatically after login.
    How can I prevent the auto launch?

    Yup. I think this may have to do with .itms files. Apple has allowed web sites to open itunes with an autolaunch command. I think that the .itms files are the ones that auto launch itunes. I think what we are suffering here is a misuse of the itunes autolaunch command. Web developers seem to be able to launch itunes and try to display their products for purchase. It seems like Itunes has been turned into a 'Pop-Up' advertisement. I hope Apple takes notice and fixes it. I have been having this problem since I got this new i5 Imac in January.

  • 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!

  • How to prevent iTunes to open when my device is connected

    Hi,
    I'm using iTunes 10.0.1.22 on Windows Vista OS.
    Each time i connect my iPhone to the computer, the iTunes opens. i don't want it to happen. not to open and not to sync.
    There's is NO tick in iTunes > Device > Summary > Options > Open iTunes when this iPhone is connected. but this line is colored in grey and i cannot tick / untick it. Here's a link for a screenshot:
    http://img2.timg.co.il/forums/1_146522632.jpg
    The iTunes perfernces is tick for "prevent iphones from syncing automatically".
    I also tried to re-install the iTunes software. no luck.
    what can i do?

    I actually had this same question for my iPad. My wife's computer is really slow, and I was hoping it might be a little faster to get iTunes to open if it was set to open as soon as she connects her iPad. All of a sudden that option was grayed out. Thank you for your help...

  • How to prevent computer from sleeping when downloading Lion from the recovery partition?

    Hello,
    I just got a new MacBook Pro that came with Lion. I'm reinstalling from the recovery partition and I'm on the downloading additional components stage. It has 3 hours to go and the computer keeps going to sleep. How can I prevent this? I don't want to have to babysit the computer for 3 more hours.
    Thanks.

    Looking for an answer to this question now.  Did you find one?  I'm about an hour into a 6+ hour reinstall of Mountain Lion from the Recovery partition on my MacBook Pro.  So I can't change the sleep corners or caffenate it or do much of anything but wait.   I want to go to bed and let it install overnight, but I assume it will go to sleep, and that will kill the download.  It there any way to prevent it from sleeping now? 
    Even trying to think of something I can put on the trackpad to trick it into thinking I'm touching it.
    Maybe ill put it under my dog, and her movements will keep it awake?  Thinking outside the box here.
    Any ideas would be appreciated.
