iTunes won't launch when my iPhone is connected
I have a retina Macbook Pro (early 2015) and an iPhone 6. I recently noticed that when I connect my iPhone to my MacBook iTunes doesn't automatically open anymore. When i connect my phone Photos will open but iTunes won't. I've searched this topic on the forums and have tried everything and anything suggested yet iTunes won't open when my iPhone is connected.
First, in the summary tab for my device in iTunes there is no option to open iTunes when the device connects, the iPhone does however sync automatically when I open iTunes and in the iTunes preferences on the devices tab prevent devices from auto syncing isn't checked.
Second, iTunes helper is enabled in users & groups system preferences, I've removed it and added it several times yet it still won't launch iTunes.
Lastly, I went so far as to uninstall iTunes and then reinstall it but nothing changed.
I chatted with a Apple Support for quite some time and the operator confirmed that her iPod would launch iTunes but her iPhone 5s would not.
I was hoping someone in the community would be of more help, this seems like a really simple problem that no one has the answer to.
If you could confirm that your iPhone won't launch iTunes on your Mac either that would be great or if you know of a way to fix it; any response is appreciated.
