How to Open iTunes 11 Automatically When Connecting a Device to Your Mac

I would like to automatically have iTunes 11 launch when I connect my device to my computer. Currently, only iPhoto opens, and I would like to disable this functionality so that only iTunes 11 will open when my iPhone, iPad, or iPod is connected.

The first step to this solution is to open iPhoto and click iPhoto > Preferences (or press Command + , [comma]). Go to the General tab, and select “No application” from the drop-down menu for the “Connecting camera opens” option. This ensures that your iPhone, iPad, or iPod will not open iPhoto when connected to your Mac.

Ensure that “No application” is selected for launching when a camera is connected to your computer.

Next, you’ll need to connect your device(s) to your computer and open iTunes 11. Select View > Show Sidebar in iTunes, and then click on your iOS device in the “Devices” section of the sidebar.
