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.

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.

ITunes 7 Keeps Opening itself without my launching it!

OK, the wierdest thing keeps happening now, I close iTunes, it closes, then, a few minutes later it re-launches it self!
I'm rather paranoid about my music and my data so once a week I do a full backup to an extrnal hard drive of my documents, my music and my email. When I run the backup I make sure iTunes is closed as well as my mail client.
Today I closed iTunes as usual, started my backup and next minute iTunes was back! I closed it again, a few minutes later, back again. And so it has been going for about 15 minutes now. Does iTunes somehow sense that some program is accessing it's library and spring to life to protect itself or will I now never be able to turn off iTunes?
Anyone else having this most perplexing problem?
Cheers,
Bart.

TS3297 itunes store keeps opening up randomly

why does the itunes store keep opening up randomly

Same thing happening to my iPod. Safari keeps opening App Store.
I have cleared all cookies and history and even rebooted several times.
I even have the same issue with my iPad from time to time.
This is some kind malware or virus that the Apple "know it alls" don't want to admit to.

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

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.

Acrobat dc - unknown app keeps opening & closing in dock

i'm using acrobat dc and an app keeps opening & closing in the dock constantly when i use it. it keeps taking mouse pointer focus away from acrobat & it's frustrating.
i can't hover over the dock icon fast enough to see what it's called.
anyone else notice this?
what is the app & how to I stop it from opening?
thanks

thanks for getting back:)
mac os x 10.10.3
acrobat dc
I did try uninstalling / reinstalling acrobat dc. how to i 'repair' acrobat?
looks like the app is called 's4c' and it has a generic OS X application icon. it's so hard to get a screenshot because it opens & closes so fast.
thanks!

Ever since I upgraded my iPhone to ios7 I can not get my iTunes app to open. Has anyone else had this issue or know how to fix?

Every time I touch my iTunes app it opens for about 1-2 seconds and then immediately shuts back down. Has anyone else experienced this or have suggestions on how to fix this?

Do you mean you updated to iTunes 11.1?
Did you restart your computer?

Itunes 11 keeps opening itself

Itunes keeps opening itself while I'm working in an order program.
This is very annoying.
I checked the settings but I can't find a solution.
Can anyone help ?

This issue often occurs if you have an iDevice Syncing or Charging using your Mac.You probably have iTunes set to open automatically right after an iPod/iPhone/iPad is plugged in.If you have an iDevice plugged in,go to it's info screen and see if it's set to start iTunes automatically when it's plugged in.Also,see if the application is set to run on start-up.I hope this helps.

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
