I'm on Windows XP and whenever I connect the iPhone, iTunes loads up automatically.

How do I stop it from loading up every time I connect the iPhone?

I believe Disable Automatic Syncing of iPods and iPhones will stop this, in Preferences. I remember having this same issue and it doesn't happen for me anymore.

  1. Open iTunes
  2. Plug in your iPhone or iPod
  3. Under Devices (In the left hand column), Select/Highlight your iPhone or iPod
  4. Summary tab > Options > Uncheck "Open iTunes when this iPod/iPhone is attached"

The image below is for an iPod (iTunes 9.0.3), but it should be similar for an iPhone:

Don't open iTunes when I connect my iPhone/iPod

Where is that? I have the newest version of iTunes on Windows and don't see that under Devices. – Kevin Mar 19 '10 at 23:15
Your iPhone isn't showing up under devices? – jmohr Mar 19 '10 at 23:19
Confirmed. It's not there. I think, it's been replaced with 'Automatically sync when this iPhone is connected'. – AngryHacker Mar 19 '10 at 23:22
I have that option also - I may not have explained where to find the setting very well. The Devices I'm talking about is the section in the left column of iTunes - not the Devices tab in the iTunes Preferences. – jmohr Mar 19 '10 at 23:39
The options are different for iPhone's - there's only a "Automatically sync when connected", which is annoying – dbr Mar 28 '10 at 7:55
