Full iTunes window pops open when in mini-player mode?

Hi
I've noticed with the most recent version of iTunes in mini-player mode on my iMac, when I hover my mouse pointer downwards towards the dock, the full window springs open.
I'm not hovering near the iTunes icon, and the pointer doesn't hit the mini-player, so not sure why this is happening? No big issue, but it is pretty annoying! It's bit random, but seems to happen mainly with that downward motion of the mouse pointer.
Anyone else noticed this?? I'm on iTunes 11.0.4, OSX 10.6.8 on an iMac.
Thanks!
Ben

Judy, I searched around and found the post I pasted below; you can use your Spotlight searcher and see if you have the Quartz Composer Visualizer plugin in my 'internet plugins' in the library folder.

{{Thanks Limnos.
I had Repaired Permissions and Backed Up, not resorted to external booting.
The problem was found to be 2 iTunes plug-ins:
1. LEDSpectrumAnalyser.bundle
2. Quartz Composer Visualizer.bundle }}

    How can i get rid of this iidiotic pop-up. allple is changing for the worst. you have to buy a new macpro in order to upgrade to a higher system, sounds like obamacare.

    You have probably clicked on a mailto: web link which directs links to send e-mail messages to wherever the webmaster chooses.    Go to the View menu -> Show Statusbar if it available, and then make sure the bottom of your screen is visible.  When you hover over a link, if it says: mailto: it will open in your default e-mail reading application set by your browser or your e-mail program preferences.
    Apple menu -> System Preferences -> Software Update lets you change how often you see the software update window.

  • Why does a finder window pop up when I open numbers?

    Why does a finder window pop up when I open numbers?

    New Document is one click in the lower left of the opening window!  You could write an AppleScript to avoid that one click, but that may not be worth the candle.
    Note that after that one click you can save an additional click by specifying 'Use template:<your chosen template>' instead of 'Show Template Chooser' in Numbers > Preferences > General.

  • Itunes does not open when I plug in my ipod

    itunes does not open when I plug in my ipod mini!
    A window opens with the name of my ipod kiwi(E:) & a picture of a disk drive next to it.
    I have to manually open itunes. No error messages pops up, so I can't figure out what's preventing the system from recognizing my ipod. In the system tray in an icon safely remove hardware if I it click my ipod ejects. My ipod still charges as normal.
    Open itunes when this ipod is attached is checked off
    Enable disk use is checked off
    I ran a scan no malware
      Windows XP  

    So you connect the iPod containing a hard drive. I would guess you are using USB, right? Then Windows opens a window (wow, that's repetative) that identifies this as a USB hard drive.
    Am I close?
    It sounds like you've told the iPod to act in Disk Mode. On the same preferences pane that you are telling iTunes to open, uncheck the box for enable disk mode. the mini should stop telling your computer it is a hard drive.

    Just like the title says, iTunes doesn't open when I click the shortcut in the Start menu. It appears in the windows task manager under proccesses as 'iTunes.exe *32'. Sometimes it will open 10-15 minutes later. It worked just fine until a few weeks ago. I have tried running as Administrator, I've tried uninstalling/reinstalling multiple times. Not sure what else I can do. I need to use iTunes to synce my mom's iPhone 4S and my iPod touch 3 Generation. Any help is greatly appreciated!

  • Itunes doesn't open when my ipod touch 4g is connected, consequently it won't charge or sync

    itunes doesn't open when my ipod touch 4g is connected, consequently it won't charge or sync

    I was surprised too, but I guess nobody gave a cr*p. I figured it out on my own. Basically, sync, then uncheck the box for the option to open iTunes when that iPod is hooked up, sync again, then check the box, and sync one last time. A dialog box pops up that asks if it's OK to install "iTunes Helper". Say "yes". Now it works.

  • My Itunes won't open when I click on the program.

    My Itunes won't open when I click on the icon/program. It will flash like it's going to open on the bottom bar on windows 7 but then doesn't do anything, I have tried deleting it and redownloading it, however this still hasn't done anything. What can i do??? Thanks.

    Can you right mouse click iTunes icon and choose "Run as Administrator"?
    If this fails:
    Try SCAN your Windows system files for possible corruption:
    Go to command prompt (START/ALL PROGRAMS/ACCESSORIES right mouse click "command prompt" and choose "Run as Administrator"
    type in
    sfc /scannow
    let Windows fix any system files that need to be repaired.
    Restart the computer if it did actually repair any files.

  • CC window pops up when switching desktops in Mac OS X 10.8.4

    I have just updated all my apps to CC. Everything looks fine so far. The only glaring annoyance I see is that the CC window pops up when switching desktops in Mission Control. I normally work with four to five desktops and switch frequently between them. The CC window keeps popping up from the menu bar icon even though there is nothing new to report or alert. Is this a bug, or is there some way to stop this?
    P.S. I just tried selecting "Open As Window..." and the problem goes away. However, if I then select "Pin to Menu Bar..." again, at first it will seem to stay quiet between desktop switches, but as soon as I open the window the first time and close it again, it will resume the annoying behavior when switching between desktops. Seems like a bug to me.

    Hi Geezjan,
    I recently responded to another user which was reporting the same thing. I've passed this info on to our engineering team. Thanks for letting us know.

  • ITunes does not open when ipod connected

    Since installing the 1.1 update, iTunes does not open when I connect my nano to the computer. Both computer and iTunes (when I manually open it) recognize the nano, so no big deal. Just wondering how to make iTunes automatically open.

    Sometimes the Preferences get corrupt - if you set them off and then back on that sometimes clears the problem.

    Itunes will not open when I click, left or right, on the icon nor when I plug in a device.

    are you sure your i-tunes is installed proper cause the icon is just a shortcut to the program.You might have some missing files. If so you may need to uninstall it and reinstall a new one.
