Yes! Wi-Fi Sync - "will automatically sync with iTunes on your computer when your phone is plugged in to power & connected to Wi-Fi". So when your iPhone is connected to Wi-Fi but BEFORE you plug the iPhone into Power or your Mac. Open iTunes Select your iPhone - click Summary - and deselect "Sync with this iPhone over Wi-Fi" Cheers, Ronni > > Regards > > Pete > >> On 24 Feb 2014, at 7:58 am, Ronni Brown <[email protected]> wrote: >> >> Hi again Peter, >> >> I was rushing (bit busy here ;-) and forgot to give you instructions to Stop >> iPhone from automatically syncing, so you can then change the settings >> >> To Prevent iPhone from Automatically Syncing in iTunes so you can change >> your settings: >> >> 1.
