Scroll to the very bottom until you see the ' Options' group, and uncheck the ' Open iTunes when this is connected' checkbox then, click on the ' Apply' button that appeared in the lower right corner of iTunes' main window to save the setting for this device.You should now see your device listed in the left Sidebar: click on it to select it, and iTunes will show the ' Summary' screen, which is the one we want (select the Summary tab if needed).By default, iTunes should automatically open when you do if not, launch it manually (again, the fact that it doesn't could simply mean that one of these background services is currently turned off, or has not yet started).Start by plugging a Apple device in your computer - an iPod will do, but the principle is the same for other devices: Disable iTunes auto-launch for your iPod (for example)
