ITunes *always* opens when iPhone is connected -- Make it go away!!!

Ok, in iTunes 8.2.1, under Devices, I have Disable automatic syncing checked, and under my iPhone's Summary page, Automatically sync iPhone when connected is both unchecked, and for some reason, disabled.
Yet every time I connect my iPhone, iTunes bloody opens anyway. This only seems to have started happening with the last update or two of iTunes. Does anyone know how to stop this... it's driving me and a bunch of other folks crazy.

Hi Jeffery,
Try removing the iTunes Helper Login Item, as Allan suggested in this thread: http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1888589

ITunes not Opening when iPhone is connected

My iPhone is synced to my home computer (Mac), but I often use my work computer (PS) to charge while at work. Before I was doing this, I had no issues with iTunes and my personal computer, but now when I connect my phone to my personal computer iTunes won't open on its own. I've read on another post that I needed to reinstall iTunes. I reinstalled iTunes, plugged in my phone and it iTunes opened. Problem solved! Two days later problem is back. I know that it can be fixed again by reinstalling iTunes, but I don't want to do this each time. Any help/ideas?

In iTunes > Preferences > Advanced > click Reset warnings and Reset cache buttons.

Did you restore your phone as a new device (not from backup)?

Itunes wont open when iphone connected to mac, please help?!

i updated my iphone 4s and tried connecting it to my mac but itunes wont open at all, so i updated mac software as well as itunes, and itunes still won't open up when i connect my phone.
P.S. iv'e already tried taking the USB cord out and plugging it back in twice already... still wont open.

Launch the Console application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad and start typing the name.
The title of the Console window should be All Messages. If it isn't, select
SYSTEM LOG QUERIES ▹ All Messages
from the log list on the left. If you don't see that list, select
View ▹ Show Log List
from the menu bar at the top of the screen.
Click the Clear Display icon in the toolbar. Then take the action that isn't working the way you expect. Select any messages that appear in the Console window. Copy them to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. Paste into a reply to this message by pressing command-V.

ITunes not opening when iPhone connected

Hi
My iTunes used to open and start syncing immediately I connected my iPhone - now it does not.
I've made sure the 'open iTunes when this iPhone is connected' box is ticked, switched off the iPhone and restarted it, restarted my MacBook, reset the sync history, deleted podcasts, restored the iPhone - nothing works.
Is this an iPhone OS 4.1 issue?
I'm running an 3GS iPhone with 4.1, iTunes vers. 10, on a MacBook OS X 10.5.8

I'm having the same issue. There is an "iphone assistant" walk-through page I've gone through but the steps ave not seemed to work for me. I deleted and reinstalled the latest iTunes, but when I plug in... nothing. The most I get is when my iphone is off and I plug in to my mac, it will turn on. No charge.

Itune wont open when iphone connected.

When I plug my Iphone into the computer either Itunes wont open or if it's open it wont recognize the phone. The computer shows it's connected because it always asks when program I wont to use to look at the pictures. I have tried rebooting the computer and it doesn't help. My IPOD is recognized but not the Iphone. Help!!!

I had the same thing. Here's what fixed it for me:
I had downloaded the latest iTunes (7.3) but because my existing copy of iTunes wasn't in the base, Applications folder, it didn't overwrite my existing iTunes application. Therefore, when you go to click on iTunes in your dock, or any desktop alias, etc., it's still opening the old version. Try opening the newly downloaded version (in the base, Applications folder) and try it again. I bet ya it'll work.

ITunes opens when iPhone is connected even if "Auto sync" is disabled?

I use my iMac (10.9.3) at home to Sync with my iPhone (7.1.1) to keep a full backup copy. I have the setting "Automatically Sync when this iPhone is connected" active, and up to recently this worked nicely. However, I think since the update to iTunes 11.2.x there seems to be a problem:
- when I am not at home, I use my MBP (also 10.9.3 and iTune 11.2.2) to charge the iPhone.
- in contrast to earlier versions of iTunes, connecting the iPhone to the MBP causes iTunes to open. It is NOT possible to sync because the iPhone is connected to the iTunes library on the iMac.
- when I disable the iTunes option "Automatically Sync when this iPhone is connected" on the MBP, the next time I connect the iPhone to the iMac iTunes does not open. And when I open it manually and "mount" the iPhone, the iTunes option "Automatically Sync when this iPhone is connected" is disabled.
Any idea to solve this problem?
It seems that the iTunes option "Automatically Sync when this iPhone is connected" is now stored on the iPhone?

Meanwhile I can answer my own question :
Go to iTunes Prefs => Devices Tab => activate "Prevent iPods, iPhones and iPads from syncing automatically"
The drawback is that if you want to charge two iPhones with an iMac and an MPB, and sync one of the iPhones with the iMac and the other with the MBP, you need to take manual action.

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.

TS1363 itunes locks up when iphone is connected

This is SO freakin frustrating! Tired of iTunes locking up my ENTIRE Mac Mini when my phone is connected. I wish Apple would get it together and fix this. Otherwise I WILL move to Google Play. This is SO annoying!!!!

Prevent iPhoto '11 from opening when iPhone is connected

I just bought the new MacBook Air 13" with Lion and iLife '11 (used to have a MacBook Pro with Snow Leopard and iLife '09).
Back in iPhoto '09, I used to be able to prevent the app from automatically opening every time I connected my iPhone.
In iPhoto '11, the option is no longer there... it still shows in iTunes under the iPhone summary page, but no dice for iPhoto '11.
Any clue on how to disable this automatic iPhoto '11 opening?
Thanks!
-Marc

Same with Lion... You can also make this choice with Image Capture (in your Applications Folder) and in the preferences to Aperture

Stop image capture from opening when iphone is connected ?

how do i get "image capture" to stop auto opening when i connect my iphone ?
i have set image capture to open when i connect a camera, but i don't want it to open when i connect the iphone.
is this possible ?

Chenks,
The way you have it set, Image Capture will open whenever it detects photos that have been taken with the iPhone. To prevent it, you can just import the photos you've taken with the iPhone to your computer and then erase them off the phone (you can then sync them back to the phone if you want them), or you can set Image Capture to not open when any camera is connected. That will apply to other digital cameras as well as the iPhone.
Hope this helps,
Jennifer B.

Prevent iPhoto from opening when iPhone is connected?

Does anyone know if there is a way to keep iPhoto from opening when my iPhone is connect BUT do the opposite when my digital still cam is connected? I like having iPhone auto-launch for my canon cam, but not when I connect the iPhone.

I believe I've come across an article by someone who set up a script to run when a camera is connected, and the script detects what kind of camera and then launches or not launches iPhoto as desired. Yeah, here it goes:
http://www.macosxhints.com/article.php?story=20080301133957211
Seems overkill to me---I find it easy enough to manually launch iPhoto when I connect a camera, but hey, to each their own.
