I-movie 11 : I-tunes keeps opening by itself

While working (with mouse and trackpad) in I-movie I-tunes opens itself : it starts playing movies and/or music.
Does anyone know why this is happening.

Try this:
Open Terminal and type "killall iTunes".
Does iTunes still keep reopening?

Re: iTunes keeps opening by itself and starts playing music

I have something really strange going on.
My iTunes keeps opening by itself and starts playing music. I cannot figure this out. I turned off the "Sync Via Wireless" on all my gadgets, but this continues to happen. This has woken me up in the middle of the night until I got so tired of it I just shut my Mac down.
Anybody hear of this? Know what to do?

I had the same problem - and as well as opening by itself iTunes was skipping from track to track like crazy. But then I found a post from a few years ago that fixed this.
Connect your iPhone to your iMac and uncheck the box that says 'Open iTunes when this iPhone is connected'. Problem solved!
Hope this works for you.

Safari keeps opening up itself with Hubble.App

Safari keeps opening up with 'Hubble.app', 3 or 4 times a minute. First it was selling games, now it's Priceline! How can I stop this????

I just got an answer from the app developer, too. Said they had a problem with an advertiser, causing the problem. Thanks for your help. Didn't know I had those capabilities.

ITunes app keeps opening by itself randomly...

The iTunes app on my MacBook Pro randomly opens and starts playing from my music library no matter what I'm doing on my laptop. I keep quitting iTunes but it reopens on its own. I've restarted my laptop several times but that hasn't solved the issue. what can I do? (I have the latest iTunes version installed)

Please read this whole message before doing anything.
This procedure is a diagnostic test. It’s unlikely to solve your problem. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
The purpose of the test is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party software that loads automatically at startup or login, or by a peripheral device.
Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards. Boot in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. Note: If FileVault is enabled, or if a firmware password is set, or if the boot volume is a software RAID, you can’t do this. Ask for further instructions.
Safe mode is much slower to boot and run than normal, and some things won’t work at all, including Wi-Fi on certain iMacs. The next normal boot may also be somewhat slow.
The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin. Test while in safe mode. Same problem? After testing, reboot as usual (i.e., not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of the test.

ITunes keeps opening by itself

iTunes when I click on the folder with the files it automatically opens iTunes. Even when I do a right click and then properties on the iTunes folder it automatically opens iTunes. If I close it but have the properties window still open it will start iTunes again. It gets annoying as anything that if I do anything with the iTunes folder it automatically opens iTunes. I am not trying to play a file I may just left click it once to highlight it or right click to get it's properties and iTunes starts. As long as the folder is highlighted or properties window is open iTunes will keep starting after I close the program. It will only stop restarting when I leave the iTunes folder completely.

yes, "iTunes" and "iTunes Artwork".
Do you think they are the culprit(s)? I'll put them aside and see what happens.
I have another User on the iMac but I don't know if the problems happens there.
thanks for the tip

ITunes keeps opening by itself and playing music.

My iTunes keeps randomly opening up by itself and playing music. When it happens, I quit the app and it stops for the day, but it will happen again randomly. Like days or weeks later. I don't know why my computer has decided to start doing this recently, but it's really getting on my nerves.

Sooo annoying. And STILL not fixed.

ITunes keeps opening by itself while an apple product is plugged in abuot every 20 seconds, even while minimized. Suggestions?????

Hello there my problem is as stated above It's very annoying, because I can't do anything while my iPod is charging, I have no idea why and I'm very irritated as this is absolutely ridiculous -.- If anyone knows why this keeps happening and can help me prevent it from happening anymore, that would be fantastic!!!

Nevermind, I found a solution .. What I did was go to the start menu, in the seach bar type in msconfig, double clicked that, then went to startup tab, and unchecked the iTunes box. So if anyone else is having this problem, this may work for you as well

ITunes keeps opening automatically

I've been gone for the past 2 weeks on Christmas vacation
I came home yesterday, turned on my mac, and iTunes keeps opening by itself randomly.
It was fine before I left.
It's so annoying!
Any help?

Hello--Forgive the delay but I was away for a while after posting...Nothing seems to trigger the problem. I open iTunes, listen, close it. And then it starts re-opening. Every time I quit, it re-opens within seconds. (I have not noticed anything like another app being open that triggers it.) I hope this is helpful.

ITunes Keeps Opening On Its Own

All of a sudden, iTunes on a 17" iMac flat keeps opening by itself. I quit it, then about five minutes later, it opens up but it doesn't seem to be doing anything.
All podcasts have been cleared and there's no sharing.
Any ideas?

Hey, thanks for that tip. There WAS an iTunes widget running! Curious thing though, before we saw that, the problem seemed to go away after a restart.
Thanks again!

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.

ITunes opens by itself!

Hi, I hope somone can help with this... Since downloading and installing the latest iTunes update, iTunes keeps opening by itself for no reason, even when my iPod is not connected. I've repaired permissions and still it opens by itself. Anybody else having this issue? Hope someone can help, thanks.

There are several topics about this problem in this Discussion.
