ICal opens by itself

I've noticed that iCal will be open when I know I didn't launch the app. Any ideas what could be launching the app? I'm on iCloud running 10.7.2 Lion. I was going to assume the event reminders would launch it maybe? But if I recall correctly, it's been opened without any reminders popping up. Anyone else experience this?

Hmm. I guess I answered my own question. I went back and started editing some events on my iPhone and noticed that once I saved the event, iCloud would push it to my Mac lauching iCal. I guess I never noticed this until now. Figured it was a little more discreet with the push updates as well.

ICal opens by itself when I use reminders on iOS 5, then it crashes.

Whenever I create a new reminder on my iPod touch, the iCal on my OS opens by itself. And that's not all, it opens and stays freezed. So I have to close it and reopen it to use the iCal.
Anyone having the same problem?

[For Windows]
If none of the previous stuff worked do this:
Type 'msconfig' in Start & press Enter
In Services, disable 'iPod Service'
Restart
That's probably it but if you're still having trouble you can also try:
Type 'msconfig' in Start & press Enter
In Startup, disable 'Apple Push'
Open iTunes
Show menu bar (if it's not already showing)
Edit --> Preferences --> Store
Uncheck 'Show iTunes in the Cloud purchases'
Restart
Worked for me.

Keeping Mail & iCal open

Is there any way to prevent an app. from being quit without first entering a password? I want to keep Mail & iCal open at all times, but my colleague keeps quitting rather than hiding them.

Hello Andy.
No there isn't and the best way to resolve this situation is by creating a computer login account for your colleague with or without admin privileges as you see fit.
OS X was designed for multiple computer users in this way with each user/login account having their own Home folder/directory to store their data only and protecting it from other users. Each user's Home folder/directory includes a Shared folder to place documents, etc. that need to be shared between multiple user login accounts.
Each user/login account can have their own Desktop wallpaper, screen saver, settings, etc. to make it seem as if the Mac is their own and your colleague can quit Mail and iCal after being opened to his/her content without affecting anything already open in your login account.
Enabling Fast User Switching makes the process of switching between user login accounts a fast and easy process which doesn't require quitting any applications in a user's login account when switching to another account.

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.

Why is iCal "Open File" not working?

I have created an Automator application called "MyActions" that works correctly when I click on it in my Application section.
I am trying to get this application to run once a week using the iCal "Open File" alert.
I have set up an event that repeats every Monday at 7:30am and I have set up an alert that opens the file "MyActions" 1 minute after the event, but it does not appear as though the application runs.
Help appreciated.
Regards,
-jP

It appeared that it just took some time before Calendar actually got around to the event that had the "Open File" instruction.
I did confirm that I created an application and not a workflow. Thanks for the sanity check.

ICal opens although when I click week view iCal unexpectedly quits

Dear colleague:
May I have your help?
I will appreciate if somebody help me on this issue described bellow.
Details of the crash:
iCal opens smoothly.
I go to the month view and all appointments appears right correctly.
Right after clicking week view (button in the toolbar), iCal opens the week view yet seconds after it unexpectedly quits sending automatically reports to Apple.
Hoping to have any help very soon
Thx

IcemanKo70,
Welcome to Apple Discussions.
First, refresh the the com.apple.iCal.plist file. You will find the com.apple.iCal.plist file in your Macintosh HD/Users/yourusername/Library/Preferences Folder. Quit iCal, drag the com.apple.iCal.plist file to your Desktop, log out/in or restart.
Then before restarting iCal, open System Preferences...>Language & Text>Formats>Region: and set/reset the appropriate region.
;~)

ICal opening on it's own

I've been using Entourage on my iMac G4 for a couple of years now. I don't use iCal at all. Recently, I've had this problem where iCal opens automatically. When I close it, it will open again automatically. I've check the preferences and it isn't set to open at Startup and I don't see any other settings that might cause this behavior.
I can't recall if I made any changes prior to when it started happening. It's possible that it might have started after the last update to Entourage.
iMac G4 Mac OS X (10.4.8) 768 MB Ram

I am getting more confident that the problem has something to do with a background synchronization process. If I launch either Entourage or iSync, iCal launches also automatically. Perhaps there is a sync preference somewhere that got fouled up?
Can anyone verify that launching Entourage or iSync also triggers iCal to launch on its own?

I need help!!!! My iTunes has gone wild Itunes 10.5.3 starts, skips,fast forward and open by itself randomly?

One day out of the blue, Itunes began to open by itself interrupting pandora and playing at the same time with other videos and/or music that is playing on my computer. I have called The guys from mac support and they re started my computer, deleted Itunes helper, widgets are off, checked on activity monitor. It works find for couple of hours and then Itunes open automatically, even after I force quit i tunes. I change the headsets with no resolution. I even loaded up again Lion and nothing. Yesterday, after I sync my iphone 4 and I was listening to a video, Itunes began to do the the same as on my MACBOOK PRO 2011. I rebooted the phone and it appears to be working find. What is this bug that Itunes 10.5 seems to have? I have tried to delete Itunes form application folder and is not deleting it. Also I redownloaded Itunes again and it worked find for a day or 2 and then the problem persisted. th e CDs that came with the laptop to reset to original donot work because I loaded up Lion. Please I need help? thanks

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.

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.

Hi,
I've been using Arch Linux for a year now and since very beginning as I remember, my ThinkPad T400 randomly opens CD tray.
Has anyone experienced similar behaviour?
I wonder, is it possible it's relate to this issue confiirmed in udev for Ubuntu?

Addons Manager opens by itself (without being clicked on; unwanted)

I'll frequently return to my desktop and find the Add-Ons Manager has opened by itself and replaced one of my tabs. Since it usually replaces a site that updates frequently, the content I was previously viewing is lost and hard to find. Very frustrating.
Using Firefox 8.0. The only extension with updates available is "Microsoft .NET Framework Assistant" (which I don't remember installing and in which I've no interest) , "incompatible with 8.0" and therefore disabled. On the hunch the Add-Ons Manager is opening to advise of this update, I've even tried to run the .NET update in the vain hope it would solve the problem, but the update process hangs and locks up.

Does it still happens if you disable automatic updates for the extensions?
