How to stop iTunes from opening every time your iPhone is connected
This was driving me crazy. I had the “Prevent devices from syncing automatically” checked in the preferences, yet every single time I docked or _un_docked my iPhone, iTunes would jump to the front of my screen.
The answer is rather unintuitive:
- Go to iTunes > Preferences > Devices > and uncheck “Prevent iPods, iPhones, and iPads from syncing automatic”.
- Now you can uncheck “Open iTunes when this [device] is connected” in the device screen.
Problem solved. Sanity restored.
