How to turn off iTunes auto-start when iPhone connected?

The option "Open iTunes when this iPhone is connected" is disabled (grayed out) in iTunes 10. The grayed-out check box is unchecked, yet iTunes starts every time I plug in my iPhone 3G. I would like to be able to plug in my phone without iTunes starting. Is there a way?

Right. Un-checking the preference to prevent auto-sync re-enabled the auto-start option. Then I was able to check and un-check the auto-start option and re-check the prevent auto-sync preference. Now all seems well. Despite appearances (the un-checked option), the internal setting was in the wrong state and twiddling it seems to have set things right.
What a boneheaded user interface, where items on widely separated parts of the UI affect each other invisibly.

  • ITunes not Starting when iPhone connected

    I just got an iPhone 3G and installed iTunes 9.0.
    When I connect my iPhone to sync, iTunes does not start. I get the box:
    Camera connected
    Select the program to launch for this actiona
    Canon CameraWindow
    Microsoft Scanner and Camera Wizard
    If I manually start iTunes, I can see my iPhone but no Music or Movie subfolders under the device. And I can't drag any music from my library to the iPhone.
    Is there a conflict with my camera software or should it just work this way? I tried to uninstall all camera software but without success.
    I have gotten some music on the iPhone from syncing, but not all that I want.
    Thanks for the help.

    Reinstall iTunes 9. If that doesn't work, restart AMDS:

  • How to turn off mail auto fetching on iPhone 4

    Heya Guys,
    I have noticed ever since the iOS 7 update on iPhone 4 the mail options have been really temperamental.
    Before this software came about I was able to only have emails fetched when I manually went into my inbox and swiped down. Now every so often I get random mail notifications when I'm not in my mailbox & it's closed.
    I have my Email settings as the following:
    Fetch New Data: off
    Outlook: Manual
    iCloud: Manual
    Holiday Calendar: Manual
    Fetch: Manually
    But still I get them randomly every so often. Anyone know how to stop this happening? Any help would be appreciated.
    Thank you in advance.

    Very easy just turn on airplane mode then turn wifi on after turning airplane mode on! Works for me.

  • How do i turn off the auto delete when played feature in new update?

    how do I turn off the auto delete after playing an item in latest update?

    After the disaster of iTunes 11.1 that deleted nearly all my archived podcasts (recovered from backup thankfullly) I was shocked, but not altogether surprised, to see that the option to delete played episodes has been enabled/re-enabled by default.
    From the lower right of the Podcasts window click Settings then, if needed, click Defaults, then turn Delete Played Episodes to Off.
    Why set the destructive option as the default?
    I have many episodes that I want to keep that are no longer available at their feed so the last thing I want is any automatic delete process to be enabled.

  • How to turn off email auto forward?

    I have a 3G iphone and it's set up to retrieve email from my gmail account. I don't know how, but it has started trying to auto-forward my email to another account (my work blackberry). The emails don't go through so I keep getting a failure to send message for each email I have been receiving. I looked in settings and I don't see anything set up to forward email, I'm not sure how it started in the first place. How can I turn off the auto-forwarding?

    The forwarding would not be on your iPhone but on your GMail account. Using a browser, go into your Gmail settings and look at one of the top tabs that says "Forwarding and POP/IMAP" Turn off forwarding there.

On Itunes itself it says match is off. On my phone it says its on and when I toggle it off it goes right back on. Is there a way to disable itunes match altogether...it stinks.

    I have turn off iTunes Match in my iCloud and my Music settings. I want to download from my Mac the old school way. But when I go back to settings, iTunes Match is back on by itself. How do you turn this off????????

  • How can I stop itunes from starting when I turn on the computer?

    I'm sure I've done it before but I've just reinstalled itunes and it starts evey time I turn on the computer. I have searched all the menus and haven't found an option to turn this off.
    Can anyone help please?

    Go to Start>All Programs and look in Startup. iF iTunes appears there, remove it.
    If iTunes is not in startup, do you have any iTunes widgets? If you don't know what they are you probably don't have any.
    Some iTunes Widgets can be configured to start when you start your computer and that could cause iTunes to appear.
