ITunes relaunches on its own when iPhone is plugged in?!

Hi guys,
This "issue" never happened before, but since I upgraded iOS to version 7 on my iPhone 4 (GSM), iTunes (also recently and manually updated to the latest version) will restart after I close it when my phone is plugged in in USB. Basically, I back up / sync my iPhone, then close iTunes. About thirty seconds later, iTunes restarts on its own, and I have to close it again to keep it that way, until the next restart.
At first, I thought it had to do with a loose or shaky USB slot, but I let my Mac sit on a flat surface, with the iPhone by its side, and every time I close iTunes, it restarts on its own, no matter what. Repairing permissions didn't help.
This is driving me nuts, all the more so since I've checked in iTunes preferences, and couldn't find any mention of a "keep alive" iTunes functionality.
I should add that this problem also happens when syncing via Wifi, but not as regularly as in USB mode. 
Ideas, anyone? Should I check or uncheck something on the iPhone?

Well, sure enough, there it was, and boy, it didn't come alone...

  • ITunes doesn't launch automatically when iPhone is plugged in.

    It used to be, that when I plugged my iPhone into my Mac, iTunes launched automatically. It stopped doing that.
    If I launch iTunes myself the iPhone appears and everything works fine. I checked all the settings and asked the guy at the Genius Bar, but no joy. Anyone know what can cause this?

    Hey Alexander,
    Has iTunes Helper been removed from the login items? Go to System Preferences> Accounts> Login Items.
    You can add it again manually as described here: http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1610692
    you can also get it back by downloading and reinstalling the latest version of iTunes.

  • TS1347 Itunes does not recognize outlook when Iphone is plugged in and the info tab is clicked.  I added the addin in outlook in the advavced tools option.  I want to sync contacts and calendars with outlook and my iphone s.  I have completed the 7.0.1 os

    Outlook contacts is not an option when trying to sync to my iphone.  I added the addin in the outlook tools section.  It has worked in the past but I have not used it lately to sync.

    Hi Sergio,
    Try the general tips in this article: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1692
    The steps for Resetting the Sync History will most likely resolve the issue.

    Hi billm1013,
    I'm sorry to hear you are having these issues with your iPhone. If your iPhone isn't being recognized in iTunes, and/or iTunes isn't responding to your mouse when the iPhone is connected, you may find the troubleshooting steps outlined in the following article helpful:

  • Main "Play Control" volume changes on its own when I open and close WinDVD or Winfast

    Main "Play Control" volume changes on its own when I open these programs, and when they're closed the main volume resets to where it was before the program was opened.
    Surely I'm not the only one who has had this problem before.. I've had the problem with both Creative soundcards I've owned, before and after different drivers installations.
    It can be very irritating and can potentially lead to damaged speakers if I'm not paying close attention to what my various volume knobs are set at before and after I open these programs.
    I appreciate any and all input, thankyou.

    I had to edit to reflect its Mavericks 10.9

    when iphone 5s plugged into my macbook it charges but isnt recognized in itunes or iexplorer.  Both my ipads connect no problem, not the iphone though?

    If your computer is running Windows, go to Control Panel > Administrative Tools > Services.  Check to see if "Apple Mobile Device" Service is Started.  If not right click on this service and select Start.  Also make sure Startup type is set to Automatic.  If not, right click on this service, select Properties and set it to Automatic.

    It does not, or should not.
    Basic troubleshooting from the User's Guide is reset, restart, restore (first from backup then as new).  Try each of these in order until the issue is resolved.

    Once running, if I leave the phone rest on the table (without me holding it or anything), the phone starts opening apps, typing a leter here and there on text messages, moves apps around the screen...
    My questions are:
    Is this something someone has registered before?
    Is this a hardware or software issue?
    Can an Iphone 5 be controlled remotely by someone else?
    Thanks

    That's probably a hardware problem.

  • Iphone likes to shut down on its own when handled

    For the last week my iphone has got a mind of its own and like to try to shut down on its own. Sometimes it would give me the red button+slide to turn off...sometimes it just goes to the Apple logo then shuts down.
    No hacks on it, maybe two apps max like ebay so really nothing that would point out to an issue. This is also a replacement my original phone had a screen issue this summer where you could not touch anything else than the bottom bar. I swapped it for this one so it is virtually new.
    Not sure if it is the button on the top that is stuck and it does not look like it.
    Any similar experiences? I heard other users had issues with their iphone shutting down for no reason.

    It does sound like the Sleep/Wake button may be stuck or overly sensitive.
    If you lightly tap on it, does the phone turn off?

  • ITunes does not start automatically when iPhone is connected

    Have just upgraded to LION.  iTuneshelper in Login items is now not found and iTunes will not start automatically when an iPhone is connected via USB.

  • One note starts on its own when I use Remote Desktop connection

    Whenever I use RDC to connect to my home server, One note start and pops up totally on its own on my local computer.
    Can anyone explain why, and more importantly how I can stop this behaviour?

    After hours of reading through forums and posts similar to this one, and knowing the proposed work-arounds were not going to be accepted by my client that was having the issue, I came to the conclusion that it had to be a print driver or the software that
    gets installed along with the print driver on the server that was causing my issue.
    I started searching and came across some Epson software that was installed on the remote desktop server when I was trying to get a scale house ticket printer to work as a network printer. The printer was not installed on the server but the software remained
    in the add and remove programs list.
    I removed the three Epson entries in the add and remove programs list and the problem stopped.
    I don't know if this was mentioned above but the behavior I observed was that the print job was going to multiple printers, not just OneNote. I my case if I removed the OneNote pritner I would then get prompted by the Microsoft XPS Document Writer for a
    file location to save to.
    I could open the print queue for each of the printers that were getting redirected on my local machine, I would then log in to the remote desktop server that I was having the issue on. I could see the "remote desktop redirected printer doc" get
    sent to each printer. If the printer was online it would flash for only a moment and the printer would ignore the job as if nothing had been sent to it. If the printer was offline the job would stay in the queue.
    I think this was mentioned above so I will reiterate, don't approach the issue like it is a problem just with OneNote or with a particular driver from a particular manufacturer. We know at the very least that the problem can be caused by Samsung driver/printer
    software and by Epson driver/printer software so it stands to reason that there can be other drivers/printer software packages that can cause the same problems.
    I hope this helps!

    Hey Alexander,
    Has iTunes Helper been removed from the login items? Go to System Preferences> Accounts> Login Items.
    You can add it again manually as described here: http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1610692
    you can also get it back by downloading and reinstalling the latest version of iTunes.

  • ITunes Store not connecting when iPhone is plugged in

    My iTunes Store connection works fine when I launch it from the shortcut. However, when I plug in my iPhone and it launches iTunes, I cannot seem to access the iTunes Store. None of the images are showing up and when I try to click on a link, I get an unknown error (-1004).
    Has anybody else seen this issue and know what the fix is? Thanks.

    Hi gusbl,
    Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.
    The behavior you're describing can be caused by connection issues or other software conflicting with iTunes.
    See this article for some good troubleshooting steps you can try:

  • ITunes does not turn on when iPhone attached.

    I know I'll feel stupid after somebody gives me the answer to this. But, what the heck, if I don't ask I won't get. So here it goes: My iTunes does not turn on automatically when I attach my iPhone to my Mac. I have to open the application manually. Is there a setting to make it come on when I attache my iphone?

    Yes, there is a setting to make it happen. Connect your iPhone to your Mac, and click on it in the iTunes column so it shows the iPhone information. Click on Summary, got to the bottom of that page, under Options, and check the box that says "Automatically sync when this iPhone is connected".
    P.S. I know how you feel. I think I have posted about a dozen questions that I have ended up answering myself the next day when I wake up and think about the problem again.
