How to stop Iphone from Backing up

I was just wondering if anyone knew how to stop the iPhone from backing itself up every time it syncs with iTunes. I sync my iPhone throughout the day, and can't wait for it to back up every time I plug it in. I usually just cancel the backup, but wish I didn't have to.
Is there any way to stop it, other than just hitting the cancel button when you plug the iPhone in?
Thanks
EDIT: I'm sorry, I didn't see the previous post on topic. Guess I should lurk moar!

iTunes does no such thing.
The dropbox app on the device has such a feature, turn it off.

It switches back to cellular data until you unlock again

Is there any option without a charger or switching off data? Because I run out of chargers pretty quickly :)

how to stop iphone from autoplaying when connected to your car audio USB ?

You need to remove the association that Windows has with that particular file type. To do that, you need to open Windows Explorer. From there, click on Tools, then Folder options. Click on the tab that is named file types. You then need to find the extension for the photos that appear in the iPhone, then click that registered file type. Once you do that, there is a section to select the program to open that file type with. You can click on the change button, and that will allow you to change the program that it opens with, or restore the default. There is also a box that can be checked to always use the selected program. If you unselect it, it will prompt you next time on what program to use.
Hope this helps.

HT1491 how to stop iphone from downloading shows

I bought a season pass to a show on my iphone but I don't want it to download to my iphone. But it's cued up and I can't delete the download.

If the restore process is restoring photos it is in the "background" restore mode. While it is recommended that you let this complete, if has already been several days and you can stop the process by restarting the phone. To do this, hold the power and home buttons at the same time until you see the Apple logo, then release. (Apple estimates that it can take up to 1-4 hours per gigabyte for the restore process to complete.)

HT201401 How to stop iphone from calling people randomly day and night

Standard troubleshooting...
1. Remove apps from the Recently Used (multi-tasking) list...
- From any Home Screen, double tap the home button to bring up the Recents List
- Swipe up on the app preview card to remove it from the list
- Press the home button when done.
2. Restart by pressing the sleep/lock button until you see the slider. Slide to power off. Restart by pressing the sleep/lock button until you see the Apple logo.
3. Reset by pressing the home and sleep buttons until you see the Apple logo. Takes about 5-15 secs of button holding and you won't lose any data or settings.
4. Restore with your backup.
5. Restore as new, i.e. without your backup. See how it runs with nothing synced to it.
6. If still a problem, it's likely a hardware issue.

How to stop iPad from transferring apps to Mac?

First off, let me state that I have iCloud backups of the most important app data and I don't care that I don't have backups for the rest. I don't care that those apps might one day be gone from the App Store. I don't care about saving my game data.
What I do care about is that I shouldn't be forced to have a backup of ALL the apps on my iPad/iPhone on my MBP, which didn't come with unlimited storage space.
I think at one point I was asked by iTunes if I wanted to transfer the purchases to my Mac (or if I wanted to backup the apps? I don't remember) and I foolishly clicked yes. Now, even though I have clicked on "Rest Warnings" multiple times, iTunes still insists on copying all the apps to my Mac without asking me if I wanna do it.
I saw some suggestions about creating empty folders and stuff but I don't wanna do that. It just doesn't make sense that Apple doesn't give us an option to NOT backup our apps to our Macs. I thought the point of having an App Store where you can download your purchases anytime you want is so that you don't have to keep everything on your Mac.
Any help is greatly appreciated!

I hope you get a solution soon. I've been having this problem too. I under any circumstances don't want my apps on my computer either, I remember when I bought my first iPad iTunes used to have an option to choose whether or not to sync/transfer apps but now its gone and it drives me crazy everytime I want to transfer music. I remember this option was Under the tab "Apps" in the device and under the Apps list. It was a check box like the ones that the Music and other library syncing currently have. But i havent seen it in a while. Apple really screwed this up.

How do I stop iTunes from backing up my iPhone photos to Dropbox?

I have an iPhone and also have Dropbox. For some reason iTunes decided to back up the photos on my iPhone into a folder on my Dropbox without me telling it anything. How do I stop it from backing up my iPhone photos to Dropbox? The help files don't provide easy-to-find documentation and iTunes simply isn't intuitive.

iTunes does no such thing.

I have itunes set up to sync with my Ipod Touch and my Ipad. As of today, it keeps looking for an iPhone to sync with and give me an error message. I don't have an iPhone and don't know how to stop it from popping open with this error message.

I have Itunes set up to sync with my Ipod touch and Ipad. As of today, iTunes has started searching to sync with an iPhone, which I don't have and pops open with an error message stating it cannot locate the iPhone to sync. I have looked in devices and only the iPad and iPod Touch are listed. Any ideas on how to stop iTunes from searching for any iPhone it is never going to find? It is annoying to have it popping up all the time with the error message. Thanks in advance for any suggestions.

You should really read the manual.
"How do you restore from backup? "
Restore. When given the choice, choose to use backup.
"And how can I check to see if the pics and videos are on my computer somewhere first??"
They would only be where you put them. What program did you use to import them? Pics/vids taken with ipod are not part of the sync process at all. You should be importing them just as you would with any digital camera.
If you did not import them, then they are not on your computer.
