Hey there jimsmac07,


As I understand it, it seems like you want iTunes to stop launching automatically when you connect your phone to your device. You can prevent that from happening by disabling the option to have the device sync automatically in the Devices section of the iTunes preferences:


iTunes 12 for Mac: iTunes Devices preferences


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.


Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.

Regards,

Sterling
