ITunes 12.1.0.50 keeps opening and playing music on its own

Hi.
Someone please finally help me with this, it's getting extremely annoying and to the point where I basically would rather not even use my computer anymore. My iTunes (12.1.0.50) keeps opening and playing the first music on the list automatically, on its own. No, I do not press any buttons, I do not have remote control for it, I don't have bluetooth turned on and I don't have anything plugged into my computer besides my headphones (Apple ones). I have tried quitting iTunesHelper, but to no avail.
My computer is a mid-2012 13.3" MacBook Pro.
Thanks in advance.

EDIT: I thought I had fixed it, but five minutes later, it reopens and plays a random song. I also turned off Genius, which also fixed nothing. Maybe Apple is punishing me for using Spotify?
I fixed this by turning off home sharing. Go to File > Home Sharing > Turn Off Home Sharing.

    Thanks fr your help

    Hi,
    Beats audio does not provide a program for playing music. You can open Beats audio in Control Panel and configure sound characteristics using the various options available such as the graphics equalizer.
    You can play music by opening Windows Media Player or using Cyberlink PowerDVD.
    You can also "Google" media players for other programs.

  • IPod 5th gen device keeps pausing and playing music randomly

    Self explanatory. Don't know why this started happening. I take good care of my iPod too. Resetting my iPod doesn't do anything. Sometimes Siri randomly pops up too. Even when my iPod is locked, these problems are still occurring. Please reply back to me ASAP

    If no earphones attached then:
    Try:
    - Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
    Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Reset all settings
    Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
    All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
    - Restore from backup. See:                                 
    iOS: How to back up           
    - Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.

  • 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:

  • 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.

    Try This...
    Close All Open Apps... Sign Out of your Account... Perform a Reset... Try again...
    Reset  ( No Data will be Lost )
    Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears. Release the Buttons.

    If no joy...
    Reset all settings

    This will return all iDevice settings to factory defaults... you will not lose any data.... But you will have to re-enter all of the device settings.
    If the issue persists...
    Connect to iTunes on the computer you usually Sync with and Restore

    5-10 minutes is normal for me when opening iTunes. But then my library is stored on network drive which slows everything down.
    There has been many posts about problems with RAID and iTunes. Don't know if any of those relate.

  • Since upgrading my iphone 4 to IOS6, apps keep opening and closing on their own

    Since upgrading my iphone 4 to IOS6, apps keep opening and closing on their own and the wrong ones open when another is pressed. I've tried a full reset but still the same thing...HELP PLEASE :-(

    I'm not familiar with the Belkin cover, but you could try removing the cover and reboot the iPad and see how that goes.
    Reboot the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up.

  • I would like to use GarageBand to remaster downloaded music files that are in iTunes.  Poorly mastered files keep clipping and damaging my speakers.  When I try to use an iTunes file as a new project, it greys out the iTunes songs so I can't select them.

    I would like to use GarageBand to remaster downloaded music files that are in iTunes.  Poorly mastered files keep clipping and damaging my speakers.  When I try to use an iTunes file as a new project, it greys out the iTunes songs so I can't select them.  Any ideas?

    As I said - look whether your original file is damaged or not. If not, I wouldn't change it and find out what in your system makes it sound like it's clipping.
    Good sound file, with volume maxed out. No need to change anything.
    The same song clipped - no chance to repair.

  • Adobe application manager keeps opening and will not allow me to install creative cloud

    Adobe application manager keeps opening and will not allow me to install creative cloud. I am trying to sync fonts and the install is not working. The adobe application manager will open on its own and not allow the creative cloud app to install. I do have other creative cloud products installed however the creative cloud installer icon is not appearing in my toolbar nor does creative cloud show up as an app. I get an error message that I must have creative cloud installed when I try to sync fonts via the type kit to photoshop.

    Hello ducky,
    as strange as it may seem I fear it's a challenge for Adobe's Creative Cloud Cleaner Tool.
    Sometimes - for whatever reasons - CC doesn't "want" to work. In this case you should CC completely delete and reinstall by help of Adobe Creative Cloud Cleaner Tool. (A try to uninstall by own resources is not enough!)
    I quote: ... helps resolve installation problems for Adobe Creative Cloud and Adobe Creative Suite (CS3-CS6) applications. The tool removes installation records for prerelease installations of Creative Cloud or Creative Suite applications. It does not affect existing installations of previous versions of Creative Cloud or Creative Suite applications.
    Please use: http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-suite/kb/cs5-cleaner-tool-installation-problems.html  and follow the prescribed sequence of operations
    Sometimes the "opm.db file" is the culprit. In this case you should delete it.
    If necessary and for further questions and if "open" please use chat, I had the best experiences.

  • HT4528 the camera on my iPhone 4s color is all weird and the shutter keeps opening and closing trying to fix its self but cant.  I rest my phone and turned it off and back on again.. how do i fix this. I only had the phone maybe six months.

    The camera on my iPhon 4s is not working correctly.  It is colored all strange and the shutter keeps opening and closing trying to fix the problem but it cant.  I have already reset my phone and turned it off and on again.  How do I fix this??

    If resetting the camera app doesn't work you can try restoring your iPhone's software. The entire process takes about an hour to an hour and a half. Make sure you do a backup. Make sure you do a backup.

    try updating to ios 5.1.1
    if the problem continues perform a back up and then restore
    Go to settings>icloud>storage and back up>back up
    or back it up to a computer
    after that preform a restore by going to
    general>reset>erase all content and settings
    this will delete everything except the enabled stuff on icloud.
    You can view whats enabled by going to icloud in settings.
