How do I stop ITunes from opening up every-time I start the computer

Everytime I start my computer, Itunes opens up. I tries going into startup items, but it is not listed there.
How do I get it to stop opening on Boot Up?
Thanks in advance
I have a Power Mac G5

If iTunes is in the Dock, control or right click it.
Does it have the "Open at Login" item ticked? If so, select it to untick.
That should do the trick.

  • How do you stop ITunes from syncing automatically every time I attach a device?

    I have the option box checked that is supposed to stop devices from syncing automatically, yet ITunes STILL insists on syncing the devices automatically and overwriting gigabytes of data.  I've had to spend hours finding everything again after ITunes has synced when I don't want it to.  Needless to say, this is INCREDIBLY frustrating.

    I no longer need an answer to this question. I didn't directly solve the problem but it solved when I was fixing something else.

  • How do I stop iphoto from launching itself every time I use my laptop?

    How do I stop Iphoto from launching itself every time I use my laptop?

    Some possibilities:
    Right click on the iPhoto icon in the Dock. Is Open at Log In Selected?
    Check your System Preferences -> Accounts -> Log In Items
    Is there a camera or anything that your Mac might think is a camera (flash drive, USB Hard Disk formatted to a FAT format, phone) attached to your Mac. If so, disconnect it. If you don't want to disconnect it, set iPhoto to "Do Nothing" when a camera is attached. You do this in the iPhoto Preferences.

  • My audio aggregate device is not stable in Mountain Lion, it was fine before I upgraded from Snow Leopard - every time I reboot the computer it loses the configuration and so it is not available in Logic Pro

    My audio aggregate device is not stable in Mountain Lion - it was fine before I upgraded from Snow Leopard. Every time I reboot the audio aggregate device (MOTU TRAVELER, MOTU PRE8 1, MOTU PRE8) has to be reconfigured so that it is available within Logic Pro.

    Most likely you have Office 2004 which are PPC-only applications and will not work in Lion. Upgrade to Office 2011. Other alternatives are:
    Apple's iWork suite (Pages, Numbers, and Keynote.)
    Open Office (Office 2007-like suite compatible with OS X.)
    NeoOffice (similar to Open Office.)
    LibreOffice (a new direction for the Open Office suite.)

  • How can I stop Itunes from opening by itself?

    Itunes keep opening by itself and it's getting pretty irritating at this point. I haven't purposefully gone into it in days, but it keeps popping up and starting to play music anyway. I quit it every time, but then, sooner or later, the same thing happens again.
    I've done some searching to see if I could find any solutions, but the suggestions I've found haven't done anything. For one, I took "Itunes Helper" off of my "Login Items" under my account, but that didn't do any good. I also checked to see if I have any Itunes widgets running on the dashboard and I don't. I even disabled the Itunes widget. I've read that other programs could be opening it, but I don't have any new programs on my computer, so if this wasn't occurring before because of something else, I don't know why it would be now.
    This is kind of driving me insane, so any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.

    Pure guesswork, but when I had problems with iTunes launching again and again, the reason were my external speakers. I simply had to unplug the speakers  from the line-out socket, and iTunes stopped launching on its own.

  • How do I stop iTunes from opening and playing a song every time I unplug my headphones?

    I noticed today that iTunes was opening automatically and playing the first song in my library.  Through some searching in the community here, I figured out it has something to do with when I jiggle the cable on my headphones, plugged into the headphone jack. I have an old late 2008 MacBook with all of the latest OS and iTunes, and I need to stop doing this.  I flipped through the settings and the community and didn't find a solution other than "don't jiggle the cable".
    I need to do some screen recording for work later on today and I don't want iTunes to keep opening and playing audio while I'm doing this.  Does anyone know of a way to stop this from happening software side instead of hardware side?  It seems ridiculous to me that iTunes would just open up because my headphone jack moved a little.
    Thanks in advance for your help.

    Hello Garrett,
    Thank you for providing the details of the issue you are experiencing with iTunes launching unexpectedly. I recommend reviewing the following article to see if any third-party plug-ins could be causing the problem:

  • How do I stop iTunes from coming up when I plug in the iPhone

    I don't always want iTunes to come up, only for syncing, when I plug in my iPhone or iPad. I most often just download photos using Image Capture and don't need iTunes for that.
    I see nothing in iTunes preferences (where it should be you would think) about disabling iTunes from starting up when  you plug in the iPhone.

    I'm being careful to rely on help with this as I have in the past 'done what is logical' and wound up destroying files and in a pickle. So I ask this one other related questions then:
    If I want to back up to computer then the 'automatically backs up to this computer' really means nothing as the message across from it says it has never been backed up before even though it automatically syncs then?
    This is very thin ice. I think I do remember in older versions of iTunes a checkbox like the one you mentioned first, but now it is gone.
    Whew. I'm sweating out what to do next.

  • How do I stop FF from opening everytime I want to use the XPS Viewer,even when FF is not open at the time

    This is actually a workaround answer for the question at https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/943960 , which has been archived.
    This problem persists for me in FF 27.0.1. The source of the problem can be found in this bug: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=358297 which Mozilla seems to think has been fixed.
    Basically, the MS xps reader program thinks it needs to open MS Internet Explorer, but it does this by opening the default browser, which for us is probably FF.
    Here is the workaround:
    If you want to open an xps file in ms windows:
    * First right click on the file in ms explorer to get the context menu.
    * Choose "Open with" > "Choose program"
    * Instead of the default choices (if any) offered, choose "Internet explorer"
    * ALSO, check the check box "Always use the selected program to open this type of file."
    This will make Windows go straight to IE, which works for me. However, you will still have to have the underlying handler installed, presumably.

    1. "this is a really really old version of Firefox" Really? FF 27.0.1 is really old? It's the latest version as of today. Read my post more carefully.
    2. The bug was updated relatively recently by someone else, who was told to file a different bug. I do not have time to refile bugs that other people have already filed and updated. Among other things, I will be told to install the latest build and see if the bug persists.
    3. The purpose of my post here was to help others who might have the same problem.
    4. If you "have no idea", why did you feel the need to respond? I would rather hear responses from those who have some idea.

  • How do I stop apps from automatically downloading every time I connect to the internet?

    When my iPhone connects to the internet, an average of four apps automatically download on my device. What is causing this issue and how can I stop it?

    I've just got a new iPad, got 8 updates available on app store, after like 5 min there were 4 updates. It was when I realised that it was automatically downloading stuff, so i disabled it from iTunes and App Stores settings as you wrote. The problem is that even though I disabled everything, every time I reconnect this iPad to wi-fi it continues to download because from 4 available updates it went down to 2. And somehow it managed to download GarageBand update, that's 600mb off of my monthly 8gb!! Why does it keep downloading from app store?

  • I have an iPad mini retior new messagna. How do I stop iCloud from asking ID every time I press icons to write new message/reply. This only started 3 days ago  and is really annoying. I have tried most things apart from reset.

    I Have an iPad mini ios 8.02 with retina screen from 3 days ago email asks for iCloud ID every time I press icon for new message/reply. Although I can press cancel and still write message. This is most annoyin. Any solutions

    For what it's worth, you posted this in 2011, and here in 2014 I am still having this same issue. Over the last two days, I have had to unlock my apple account 8 times. I didn't get any new devices. I haven't initiated a password reset. I didn't forget my password. I set up two factor authentication and have been able to do the unlocking with the key and using a code sent to one of my devices. 
    That all works.
    It's this having to unlock my account every time I go to use any of my devices. And I have many: iMac, iPad, iPad2, iPad mini, iPhone 5s, iPod touch (daughter), and my old iPhone 4 being used as an ipod touch now.  They are all synced, and all was working just fine.
    I have initiated an incident with Apple (again) but I know they are just going to suggest I change my Apple ID. It's a simple one, and one that I am sure others think is theirs. I don't want to change it. I shouldn't have to. Apple should be able to tell me who is trying to use it, or at least from where.
    Thanks for listening,

  • How do I stop iTunes from forgetting where my NAS is ?

    I have a Synology DS411j on which I keep all my music, I use a Mac Mini in the lounge as a player with no keyboard or mouse other than an iPad via bluetooth and the Remote app to control iTunes. iTunes is set to boot automatically, but always defaults back to the local path on startup as iTunes seems to boot before the NAS is available. I then have to repoint iTunes at the NAS directory, and wait while it restores the library every time I start the computer.
    Surely there is a way around this ? I have seem some other threads, but the closest solution seems to be for another internal drive, not an external NAS.
    I would be grateful for any suggestions - hopefully explained in terms a new Mac user would understand.
    Thanks

    I feel you pain helenavid, i save my podcasts so i can listen to then in large batches, but because of this strange logic of discontinuing the subscribtion i lost one of the podcasts episodes, and i an annoyed at that, especially since i will be going away for a month at christmas time and i really dont want to come back and find that i can not get several weeks of podcast.
    the truly annoying thing is that there is no where to tell the coders of this program the problem

    4) If your application is already in the box then it is the default application for opening that kind of file and you don't need to do anything more.  Close the get info window.
    5) If the application showing in the menu is not the one with which you wish to open the file then select a new application. If your application does not appear there then select the "other..." and track down the application (usually in the Applications folder at the main level of the computer).
    6) If you wish to change all files of this type to open with this application in future, make sure the "change all" button is selected.
    7) Close the get info window.

  • How do I stop iTunes from starting up in the other active Windows sessions?

    I have multiple (3) user accounts on a windows (Vista) computer. When I start iTunes from one account iTunes wants to also start up on each of the active windows accounts and continues to attempt to start iTunes after some time period (90 seconds?).
    I get a error screen on the attempts for the User that should not be starting iTunes that reads:
    You cannot open the application "iTunes" because another user has it open.
    Ask the other user to quit the application, then try again.
    I want iTunes to run within only one account. How do I stop iTunes from starting up in the other active accounts?

  • I have transfered my library my library to a NAS drive. How do I stop Itunes from creating the default folder on the local drive?

    I've transferred my Itunes Media Library to a NAS drive, and pointed Itunes (using the advanced preferences tab) to the relevant folder on the NAS drive. I have done this to free up disk space on a computer I primarily use for work but which I use both at home and at work. The NAS drive is at home. (To clarify, I am not expecting Itunes to function at work, only at home when access to the NAS drive is available).
    Under certain circumstances Itunes will start-up at work and when it does it will create the folder structure for the Itunes Media Library in the default location (on the local drive) instead of looking for the location I have specified (the NAS drive) which it should not be able to find when I am at work and telling me that it can't find it (which would be fine).
    How do I stop Itunes from recreating the default folder structure and defaulting the file path to the standard media library location on my local drive? Every time this happens I have to re-point Itunes to the NAS drive location, which often requires me to reconsolicate libraries which is tedious and time consuming. It seems that in the process of one of these consolidations I have lost some of the media files. They are still in the library (ie. visible in the Itunes window) but Itunes can't find the media associated with that file - identifying them with an excamation mark "!".
    Any help with this would be appreciated, as I have read several forums and threads, and despite trying several different approaches I have been unable to address the problem, which appears to be exacerbated by the laptop being remote from the NAS drive.

    Can I put the ".itl" and other database files on the NAS, and if so where would I put them? I'm thinking that if the library file is only available at home then the ITunes library won't get corrupted at work when it can't find the media, in the event that I accidentally start up itunes eg. while opening an attachment or disc that can be read by Itunes.
    iTunes will start up and you will have an empty library.
    Can I put the ".itl" and other database files on the NAS, and if so where would I put them?
    Yes.
    Quit iTunes.
    Copy the /Music/iTunes/ folder on the NAS.
    Move the /iTunes media/ folder currently on the NAS into  the /iTunes/ folder you just copied to the NAS.
    Hold Option, launch iTunes, select Choose library... and select the iTunes folder on the NAS.
    You can delete /Music/iTunes/ folder on the internal drive.
    If you launch iTunes while NOT comnnected to the NAS, iTunes will recreate the /Music/iTunes/ folder and you will have an empty library.
    WHen you are again connected to the NAS, just do step 4 above.
    Do you know what the advantages and disadvantages are of having the database files like the ".itl" files stored locally versus on the NAS?
    Keeping everyhing together inside the iTunes folder makes it "cleaner" and simpler to manage everything.
