Scanner software opens when iphone connected

Hi all.
Ever since I have had my iphone3gs, when I connect it to my XPpro PC my scanning software opens. (takes ages coz itunes opens at the same time) I have been into control panel / Scanners and cameras / properties of the iphone and disabled it but when I reconect it changes the settings back again. I have the latest itunes and phone software updated as of today from the apple site and it still does it. Can anyone help please.
Thanks in advance

Open iTunes and go to Preferences.
Select 'Devices'
Uncheck the option 'Prevent iPods, iPhones and iPads from syncing automatically'
Click 'OK'
Go back to the iPods, iPhones or iPad settings. The 'Open iTunes when this device is connected' is enabled.
Uncheck 'Open iTunes when this device is connected'
Go back to iTunes Preferences
Select 'Devices'
Check the option 'Prevent iPods, iPhones and iPads from syncing automatically'
Click OK
IMO this is a bug. A user shouldnt have to jump through hoops to stop an iDevice from auto syncing or opening iTunes.

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.

Disable Auto-Open when iPhone connected?

I can't seem to make iTunes stop opening when my iPhone is connected, and it's driving me nuts....
Anyone know where to find that?

Found it!
It's the "Auto-sync checkbox" in iTunes...the wording wasn't what I expected, as I'd like my iPhone to auto-sync, but NOT throw iTunes on my desktop...oh well, it's off now. Thanks!

Stop Itunes from automatically opening when IPhone connected to computer

Using IPhone 3G with Windows XP Pro (both with latest updates)
When I connect IPhone 3g to the usb cable to computer, ITunes always automatically opens. This is a waste, if I am only charging the IPhone. Is there a way to make ITunes not open automatically when IPhone is connected
Thanks
Bob

Hi Guys..
Had the same problem..
And now its got solved!! :-D
Leaving both "iTunes > Preferences > Syncing > Disable automatic syncing for all.." AND "Automatically sync when this iPhone is connected" on the summary page, UNCHECKED, solved the issue for me.
Do give it a try..
Cheers!
Bye.

ITunes does not open when iPhone connected.

When I connect my iPhone to my iMac, iTunes does not open. The iTunes option to open iTunes when this iPhone is connected is checked.
What is the name of the iTunes preference file that I can put in the trash to try to get this to work correctly?
Thank you.

Hello 51kFred,
Here is a resource that should help resolve the iPhone not showing in iTunes.

ITunes 9.1 not auto opening when iPhone connected

Prior to upgrading to iTunes 9.1, iTunes used to open automatically when I connected my iPhone to my Windows XP SP3 PC via USB. This was useful for simply plugging in my phone and walking away and having it done backing up and syncing when I came back.
Now it's not opening iTunes automatically, at least not unless I killed the iTunesHelper.exe task and restart it. The iTunesHelper.exe task is supposed to start iTunes.exe when the iPhone is connected, but it appears that iTunesHelper.exe simply stops working periodically and I need to kill it and restart it to get it to recognize when I connect the iPhone.
Anyone else notice this problem?

No one else sees this?
I think it has to do with Hibernating my laptop since the problem seems to start happening after I do that. It works fine if I go into Standby and resume, but I hibernate my machine every night and the next day I have to kill iTunesHelper.exe and restart it to get iTunes to automatically launch.

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.

Stop iPhoto from opening when iPhone connected

Hi,
I recently bought a new iPhone and a new MacBook, however, I am having a bit of trouble. Whenever I connect the iPhone to the MacBook, iPhoto opens and wants to transfer my download the photos from my iPhone. It gets annoying as I have to wait for iPhoto to completely open and then quit it evertime i connect the phone.
Is there a way I can prevent this, ie not have my MacBook treat my iPhone as a camera?
Thanks.

Oh alright,
Follow these steps:
Plug in your iPhone.
Launch Image Capture from our Applications folder
Select your iPhone once it shows up under devices
Look at the lower bottom pane where you'll see "Connecting this iPhone opens"
Set this preference to "No application"
Let me know if you run into any problems performing these steps.

I have down loaded itunes (windows) on my desk top and when i click on the icon it takes 4 to 5 minutes for the program to open. also the program does not open when i connect my iphone. Help!

Why does it take 4 to 5 minutes for my itunes program to open? it also frequently freezes while i am trying to work with it. it won't open when i connect my iphone? this is on my desk top with Windows 7.

Okay, launch iTunes... does it work?
If so, in Edit > Preferences > Advanced is the option to "prevent syncing of iDevices" selected?
Another possibility, in Control Panel > Default Programs > Change Auto Play Settings > what is the system set to do when an iPhone is connected?

How do i stop iPhoto from automatically opening when I connect my iPhone?

Hi, well as the title states:
How do i stop iPhoto from automatically opening when I connect my iPhone?
It's getting on my nerves...
Thanks.

This might also be helpful:
I wrote an AppleScript that asks me each time I connect the iPhone/camera/etc whether or not I want to open iPhoto. Usually I just hit return and it doesn't open, but once in a while I'll click Yes to open iPhoto and import videos from my phone. I just did it because it's nice to have a little reminder so I don't go for too too long without importing, but not have it slow things down each time I plug in.
Below is the script. Paste it into AppleScript Editor, then export it as an application. Then set Image Capture to open this app when you plug in your phone. Would love to hear if it's helpful for you or if you modify it to use other criteria to automatically import only at certain times or conditions.
Nathan
set question to display dialog "Open iPhoto to import photos?" buttons {"Yes", "No"} default button 2
set answer to button returned of question
if answer is equal to "Yes" then
tell application "iPhoto" to activate
end if

Why won't iTunes automatically open when I connect my iPhone 6

iTunes is set to open when I connect my phone but will not do so. I have to physically go to the program and open it each time I connect my phone. This also happens when I connect my iPad mini. This began when I upgraded to the iPhone 6. Before upgrading I did not have this problem.

Hey there Ray_J,
I understand that you want iTunes to be opening every time you connect your phone to your computer. You may wish to adjust this setting in your iTunes preferences to affect this behavior:
Prevent iPods, iPhones, and iPads from syncing automatically
Prevent devices from automatically syncing with this iTunes library when a device is connected. To sync a device, click the Sync button when the device is connected.
iTunes 12 for Mac: iTunes Devices preferences
https://support.apple.com/kb/PH19595
If this is unchecked, iTunes will open automatically when you connect an iOS device. Thanks for being a part of the Apple Support Communities!
Cheers,
Braden

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.

Digital camera software opens on iPhone sync, incompatible, how to stop?

Every time I sync my iPhone, my digital camera's program opens up but is incompatible with my iPhone. Is there anyway I can disable this program opening when I connect my phone? I can still sync my photos through folders so I don't need an outside program... Thanks for your help.

Your computer recognizes the iphone as a digital camera.
Therefore, your photo management software (Olympus Master) opens.
Apparently you have either your computer set to open Olympus Master when a digital camera is connected, or you have Olympus Master set to open when a digital camera is connected. As I am not a windows user or an Olympus user, I don't know where the settings are located, but you should be able to find them.
