How to prevent iTunes from auto starting when I plug in an iOS device

apple-configuratoritunes

i know we already have topics about it, but i did not found my solution.

So i don't want to start iTunes, when i plug in iDevices. We have like 300 iPads, and i am using the configurator. iTunes still starting automatically, even when the Configurator is running.

I really don't want to turn off this settings under the iPad summary screen one by one. I have already turned off the autosync.

If the problem you're experiencing is that the iPad connections trigger a New iPad activation dialog, you can turn this off by typing this terminal command when iTunes is not running:

defaults write com.apple.iTunes StoreActivationMode -integer 1

You can turn on the new iPad Activation dialog with this command:

defaults delete com.apple.iTunes StoreActivationMode

Remember, iTunes cannot be running when either of these commands is run.
