| 649850 | 2008-03-16 08:00:00 | Um, no I didn't get the "Mobile Phone Setup Assistant" when I first connected my phone and I don't have a "Phone" tab in my iTunes (It has been disabled for sometime now). Pardon me for stating the obvious but you are going to have to perform your best Sherlock Holmes impersonation and search through the system - since none of the obvious fixes mentioned seem to provide a cure. |

| 649853 | 2008-03-16 09:10:00 | So - 'cause I'm still unsure what was answered and just want to check - you don't have any 'phone' tab appear in iTunes when your phone is connected to your comp like this (www.askdavetaylor.com)? | bevy121 (117) | ||
| 649854 | 2008-03-16 09:13:00 | Just to clear up any confusion, iTunes is device specific so if one iPod is set not to open iTunes when it is connected, it will only be set so for that specific device. It sounds like the OP already knows this but can't set this setting because the Motorola v3x only opens iTunes and isn't actually visible as a device within iTunes. If you prefer not to have ANY device launch iTunes upon connection, try disabling the service "iPod Service". Press Windows key + r to launch the Run dialog Type services.msc and press Enter Right-click the service and select Properties Select Disabled from the Startup type drop-down. Stop the service by clicking the Stop button then try connecting your mobile while iTunes isn't running. If this doesn't work, try disabling the service "Apple Mobile Device". |

| 649855 | 2008-03-16 09:19:00 | Woah dude..... I don't understand that man, what do u mean? You have got iTunes checked to startup when your phone is connected to your PC - only you don't seem to be able to find where and we have covered ALL the obvious places where it is normally checked which is in the iTunes Phone tab (where it is normally checked) and in the config startup menu - and iTunes is a pretty simple app to use. So that means you have missed something. Like this. you don't have any 'phone' tab appear in iTunes when your phone is connected to your comp like this? |

| 649856 | 2008-03-16 09:43:00 | Thanks sal - thats what I was trying to conclude... But being not iFamiliar with the software was "taking the long road there"! to make sure :) |

| 649858 | 2008-03-17 02:54:00 | Thanks for the feedback everyone. I think that what Sal said sounds like my situation so i'll give that a go and let ya know what happens. Oh and Beeswax.... If Sal's idea doesn't work, thats exactly what i'll be doing!!! I had a trial version of a program that allowed Windows Media Player to see my iPod and fill it with music so i'll look into the full version of that program (Not sure what it was called!!). P.S. I just disabled the iPod service and voila!!! No more auto-openning iTunes!! Cheers Sal! |
