ITUNES AUTOMATICALLY OPENING AT WILL with recent update.

My iTunes programme is opening at will since I installed the most recent update. I know it's Halloween but this is more annoying than spooky!! Anyone else experiencing this today (1 Nov 2013)?

I've done the first few steps successfully, but I run into a problem when I'm required to type in "C:\Program Data\Apple Computer\iTunes\SC Info" into the address bar. When typed in, I recieve an error message that says, "Windows can't find C:\Program Data\Apple Computer\iTunes\SC Info. Check the spelling and try again." I've directly copy and pasted the exact code in from the help page and it won't work.

  • When connected via USB, my Ipod Classic 160GB mounts as a disc drive, then changes to a white drive.  When iTunes automatically opens, it crashes trying to mount and/ or sync.  When it times out, my only choice is to restore, but that doesn't fix problem.

    I'm running OS 10.6.8 on my 3.06 GHz iMac Intel Core 2 Duo.   I recently upgraded to iTunes 10.5.2.  I'm not sure when the trouble started but I attempted a restore when the iPod would not play correctly.  It would start to play a file and get stuck on 0 seconds.  If I put the iPod on shufle, it will stall on 0 seconds for 15 seconds or so and then move on to the next track and stall again and so on.   Seemingly randomly, it will play a few tracks but eventually start skipping again.  This will continue until the battery is depleted which is fairly quick since the drive is constantly spinning.
    My 160GB iPod Classic after restore attempts now is up to date with 2.0.4. and of course, nothing works as it should and I would say the skipping issue is worse than ever.  
    When I connect with any of three USB connectors, the iPod mounts to the desktop as a grey/silver disk drive picon exactly like the Macintosh HD picon.   Then Finder will stall for a few minutes- spinning pinwheel.  Somehow, the dock is never affected and I am able to open other applications like Safari or tab through open windows- just no action on the desktop.  Eventually, iTunes automatically opens and Finder becomes responsive again.  At this point the grey drive picon on the desktop becomes a white drive mount picon, but the iPod does not mount in iTunes, yet.  At some point, the iPod attempts to sync, iTunes crashes with the spinning pinwheel and eventually times out and I am prompted to restore the iPod again.  Once restored,  the iPod properly mounts under devices in iTunes and, as I have done this several times, even occasionally changes to the regular iPod picon on the desktop.
    I have restored several times going as far a completely deleting iTunes from my iMac, downloading the latest directly from Apple.com, and attempting to restore again, but to no avail.
    I have even used the disk utility to verify and/or repair my Macintosh HD and iPod. 
    It seems lots of folks are going through this ordeal.  Has anyone had any success in fixing the issue, even if only temporarily?

    one more detail, after a restore, when I attempt to reload music to the ipod, if I try and move, say, 20 files, the transfer seems to work as it should but then stalls on the last file.  Eventually, the status will change to "Updates Files on (my ipod)" a and suggests the iPod is syncing  even though I have the auto sync feature turned off.
    This process eventually works itself out, and seems to take longer relative to the number of files I attempt to transfer.   Once done, howver, if I try and eject and dismount the iPod, iTunes stalls with the spinning pinwheel and I am warned that the iPod is syncing again with the spinning candy cane status bar.     Eventually thisd works itself out and the iPod dismounts from iTunes and the desktop and eventually the iPod is free to disconnect.
    Then if I try and play the music I just transfered, the iPod says there is no music loaded.
    Ideas?

  • Stop itunes automatically opening

    itunes automatically opens when I start up my computer, and I can't find how to change the settings so this doesn't happen. Can someone please tell me?

    I'm not a Windows user so this is just a suggestion but if you check out Windows help for Quick Launch you may find a setting there that is opening your iTunes. This is a link to some search results on Quick Launch from the Microsoft webpages: Quick Launch query
    If this doesn't help I'm sure someone more familiar with Windows will be along soon with an better answer than this.

  • When iTunes automatically fills free space with songs....

    When iTunes automatically fills free space with songs, where are these songs listed?
    I am very nearly at my limit, so been deleting a few playlists but as I was doing that, it seemed to be filling back up again just as quick.
    So I deselected the 'Automatically fill free space with songs' button, and the capacity has stayed exactly the same?
    Thanks
    James

    When iTunes automatically fills free space with songs, where are these songs listed?
    Under Songs, Artsts, Albums, etc.
    They are not in any playlist.
    I am very nearly at my limit, so been deleting a few playlists but as I was doing that, it seemed to be filling back up again just as quick.
    That menas that it is working exactly as it should.
    If you have select 2GB of playlists, iTunes will put 6GB on the iPod automatically.
    So I deselected the 'Automatically fill free space with songs' button, and the capacity has stayed exactly the same
    Nothing will change on the iPod until you sync it.

    I can't open my books with the update, says failed to load book because the requested resources is missing.  Please HELP.

    If you can't open a particular ibook then try deleting it from the bookshelf via the Edit button at the top right of the bookshelf, and (assuming that it's still in your country's store) redownload it via the Purchased tab in the ibookstore in the app (or if you have a copy of it on your computer's iTunes library sync it back from there).

  • I can't open my documents with the update.

    I can't open my documents with the update. It says to update pages in the app store but I've already done that, that how I got in this stupid mess. How do I fix it? When I go on the app store it doesnt say update, it says installed, but I still cant open my documments. I'm freaking out.

    Are you launching Pages from an icon in your Dock? Installing the update does not change the Dock icons & it does not remove the older versions. Go to your Applications folder & launch the new Pages from there.

  • HT1338 iTunes seizes up when I try to open podcasts after the recent update

    I recently updated iTunes. Now whenever I try to listen to a podcast iTunes freezes and is completely unresponsive. Has anybody else had this problem? Can I simply reinstall iTunes? Will I lose any music that I've added?

    You might try posting in the iTunes community.

    You can reinstall iTunes. You shouldn't lose any music because it is stored in your user directory. Do a backup just in case.

  • Why won't my iTunes automatically open?

    Until recently, my iTunes account has automatically opened whenever I connected my iPod. This is not a matter of hardware; I have tried with two cables, both of which work. Is this a sign of some type of failure to communticate between my iPod and iTunes? Also, I have selected "Open iTunes when this iPod is connected" and applied it, so that is hopefully not part of the issue.

    Hey there Ray_J,
    I understand that you want iTunes to be opening every time you connect your phone to your computer. You may wish to adjust this setting in your iTunes preferences to affect this behavior:
    Prevent iPods, iPhones, and iPads from syncing automatically
    Prevent devices from automatically syncing with this iTunes library when a device is connected. To sync a device, click the Sync button when the device is connected.
    iTunes 12 for Mac: iTunes Devices preferences
    https://support.apple.com/kb/PH19595
    If this is unchecked, iTunes will open automatically when you connect an iOS device. Thanks for being a part of the Apple Support Communities!
    Cheers,
    Braden

  • ITunes won't start up after recent update.

    I recently updated my iTunes software a few days ago, to the current 10.6v (64-bit for Windows), and ever since the update, I haven't been able to open up the program at all. I can double-click the icon numerous times and my cursor will show the timer as if it's about to open, but nothing happens.
    I can still plug in my iPod Touch (4th Generation, I believe) and it'll charge just fine. However, sync-up is impossible since the program won't run in the first place.
    I have already tried uninstalling iTunes and reinstalling it, and so far, there are no results. Program still won't run.

    I've done the first few steps successfully, but I run into a problem when I'm required to type in "C:\Program Data\Apple Computer\iTunes\SC Info" into the address bar. When typed in, I recieve an error message that says, "Windows can't find C:\Program Data\Apple Computer\iTunes\SC Info. Check the spelling and try again." I've directly copy and pasted the exact code in from the help page and it won't work.

  • ITunes doesn't see iPhone4 after recent update of iTunes

    I recently updated iTunes. The update went smoothly, but immediately after the update iTunes no longer shows my iPhone4. The diagnostics show that everything is okay with exception of the no iPhone connected error. I've run through all of the Apple helps but nothing has fixed the problem. The same problem occurs on other user profiles on the same computer. The computer is a 64-bit Windows 7 machine. Windows 7 shows the iPhone and I can access it as a camera or drive. I've re-installed the phone USB driver but still no go. I can plug my phone into another computer and the sync works fine. Anyone else work through the same problem?

    Try uninstalling iTunes and all of its components as described in this guide: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1923, then reinstall the latest version of 64-bit iTunes.  You must follow this guide exactly (uninstalling all components in the order specified) or it will not be successful.  Also, unistalling iTunes only removes the application; you iTunes library and data will not be touched.

  • ITunes wont open at all since incomplete update

    Tried to install latest update and rec'd an error code.  Ever since then (2 days ago) itunes wont open at all.  I tried to install again via the Apple website..  Still wont open.  Should I uninstall and reinstall?  Will my library remain stored?

    2. You should remove all instances of iTunes and the rest of the components listed below:
    it may be necessary to remove all traces of iTunes, QuickTime, and related software components from your computer before reinstalling iTunes.
    Use the Control Panel to uninstall iTunes and related software components in the following order:
    iTunes
    QuickTime

  • Adobe reader won't open on iPad after recent update

    After most recent update, adobe reader won't open on my iPad. I have lots of docs that I need to get to. Please help.

    This forum is probably the best you can do. We're now on the weekend, and Adobe engineers don't work 24/7. When they return on Monday and see the reports, they'll work to fix it. The update will need to be submitted to Apple and then approved for an update.
    Note that there are other apps on the App Store which can read PDFs.

  • Problem with recent update (1.6.0_19-b04)

    Hi,
    Since the recent update to the Java installation (yesterday morning), my application started having problems when trying to unmarshall (JAXB) a XML file I'm using, and now I get the following exception:
    tried to access class com.sun.xml.internal.bind.v2.runtime.reflect.opt.Const from class pt.global.parser.nodes.ContratoType$JaxbAccessorF_valorInicialContrato
    javax.xml.bind.UnmarshalException: tried to access class com.sun.xml.internal.bind.v2.runtime.reflect.opt.Const from class pt.global.parser.nodes.ContratoType$JaxbAccessorF_valorInicialContrato
    The application works normally if I use the 1.6.0_03 version. Can someone give me an hint on what the problem might be?
    Thanks for any help you can give me.
    Kind regards,
    Carlos Ferreira

    It also broke my application which is using JAXB
    The way JAXB behaved before is if you for example have a field of type int, and an invalid int value in input file, JAXB would invoke a setter with a value of 0, and now it will throw an exception it would of course stop processing of whole file.
    Interestingly, with type of Integer, old behavior if still kept - (setter is invoked with a null value in case of invalid input)
