Do I need "iTunesHelper" as a Login Item?
I'm running Lion on a new 15" MBP. I'm trying to have as few Login Items as possible, and wonder what iTunes Helper actually does, and do I need it as a Login Item?
Thanks in advance ...

If you don't have an i-gadget then you don't need it. You may not even have to have it there if you do.

It automatically opens iTunes whenever an iPod or similar Apple device is plugged in.

Well, I'm tweaking OS X Lion too, and i dont have an iPad, iPhone or anything like that,
and will only run as few unused services / daemons running as needed, less of a security risk,
so i'm not sure how comfortable you are with doing things like this, but I removed iTunes.helper
from the OS completely, as well as AppleSpell.service. its ok if you now what you're doing.
disabling it from is ok, until you start iTunes, then it runs forever. This is an problem with modern OS's nowadays.
the iphone "iphone4" could not be syned because this computer is no longer authorized of purchased items are on this ipnone
yes
