iPhone, iTunes & laptop issue.
Hello,
Why, every time I connect my iPhone to my laptop (USB hot spot) does iTunes open automatically?
I do not want this to happen.
I want to choose when I open iTunes.
Regards

Hey there, Gary.
It appears that iTunes opens whenever you connect your iPhone to your computer. I'm happy to help.
iTunes 11 for Windows: Require a prompt before automatic syncing -- iTunes is trying to automatically sync your iPhone. To turn this off, follow the steps below.
Require a prompt before syncing a specific iPod, iPhone, or iPad
- Connect your iPod, iPhone, or iPad to your computer and select your device.
- Click Summary, and then deselect “Open iTunes when this Device is connected.”
Note: This option isn’t available if you’ve selected “Prevent iPods, iPhones, and iPads from syncing automatically” in the Devices pane in iTunes preferences.
Require a prompt before syncing all iPod, iPhone, and iPad devices
- In iTunes, choose Edit > Preferences. (iTunes > Preferences on a Mac)
- Click Devices.
- Select “Prevent iPods, iPhones, and iPads from syncing automatically.”
To sync your iPod, iPhone, or iPad when a prompt is required, connect your iPod, iPhone, or iPad to your computer, choose your device from the Devices pop-up menu near the top of the iTunes window, and click Sync.
Let me know how that goes.
Take care!
