ITunes keeps opening and iMac wont sleep...help!!!

My iTunes keeps opening after I close it and my computer will not sleep. I have an iMac 24" with Snow Leopard and everything is up to date as of 3/26/12. Does anyone have a solution?

check system preferences, go to accounts, log in items, see if there is an iTunes stuff there, if there is higlight it and click the - button.
for the the sleep part you can go to system preferences, energy saver, make sure wake for network is un clicked.
turn off bluetooth when not in use, the persson who lives next to has either her BT headset or mouse that wakes mine, have our stuff apart by a thin wall 2ft

    ok i tried following on of the link you posted and i followed it around to another link ( http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=3311049&#3311049 )
    i created a new usename and that seemed to help. I mean i was able to launch iTunes but it didn't seem to launch the same way but i was not abot to use the internet with Firefox or IE but iTunes did launch.
    i tried to follow those directions and it sort of works. i moved the .xml and .pref files. now it comes up with the License agreement and i accpet and then it crashes again... so i think i am making headway. I went back into the folders that were suggested that i moves the files from onto the desktop and all that comes back is the .xml files into those folders but the .pref files do not come back.
    does that help at all to help solve this problem??
    i was hoping to get this fixed before christmas before my long drive to my parents house so i have updated music to listen to on my iPod

  • 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.

  • Upgraded to iphone 4 and now itunes keeps opening up on my HP computer all the time?

    I upgraded to iphone 4 & now itunes keeps opening up on my hp. I turned off find my iphone from an article I seen on here, but the problem still continues. Help please advise.

    okay. it is very easy. just kill your itunes application (it will not uninstall or pemanantly remove it from your compter.) just open task manager to open it, (for vista and 7) click start->search ''run''->then in the run window, type ''taskmgr''. (and for xp) click start->run->type ''taskmgr''
    in the task manager window(for both xp, vista and 7), go to applications tab, then click itunes, then click end process button. if there is not any itunes option in the applications tab, click processes tab, cick itunes.exe, then click end process (or) right cick itunes.exe and click end process.
    one thing to note. if you are syncing your iphone and you are trying to kill itunes, it would be a problem so don't do it. to open itunes again, just click in the shortcut or icon you used to open it.

  • My iTunes app on my iPhone 5 keeps opening and then crashing, how do I fix this?

    My iTunes app on my iPhone 5 keeps opening and then crashing, how do I fix this?

    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.
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1430
    If no joy...
    Reset all settings
    Settings > General > Reset > 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

    Make sure you have the Latest Version of iTunes (v11) Installed on your computer

  • 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.

    My iTunes keeps opening arbitrarily and starts playing.  How do I stop that?

    You don't. That is how it works. It is a verification process. Would you like anyone that picked up your phone to be able to make purchases? I don't think so.

    If it is doing it while your device is plugged in, it is because it is set to automatically sync. Please go to: Preferences>Devices, and select the option to "Prevent iPods, iPhones, and iPads from syncing automatically." Also, I hate to be "that guy", but you spelt extremely wrong. Just a pro tip.

  • 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.

  • 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 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.

  • ITuns keeps opening itself

    Hi guys!
    my problem is just as the subject says!
    Itunes keeps opening itself
    I tried everything but can't get around this. NOTE: didn't have ituneshelpper to open at login in the first place.
    First i tried deleting itunes preference files - didn't work
    Tried removing every app i could think of that could be interfering with iTunes - didn't work
    Tried to trash ituneshelpper app from itunes package contents - nothing changed
    At this time i think i had itunes 10.7 installed for a while i.e. i think it wasn't since upgrading that this problem began
    then i tried uninstalling iTunes and do a fresh install - kept opening itself at login and periodically if i closed it
    tired removing itunes preference files again to no success
    tried to remove itunes helper at this time because it appeared at login items - no luck! even tough i removed it from login items several times it kept appearing there and even at exhaust (a login items app) all this after trashed the itunesHelper from itunes package contents again!!
    At this time decided to re-install Lion again form HD recovery drive!
    After this iTunes stopped opening at login only to find that i had to install the latest version (10.7) because the library was created by a newer version and as such it wouldn't open!!
    after updating iTunes it started all over again!!!
    And now for a little side problem - might mouse center and side buttons stopped working as well as secondary button!!! can't get around that also!!!
    Help, please!!!
    i'm running lion 10.7.5
    Sorry fort the long post and thanks!!!

    Hi,
    I bought a new core i5 macbook pro a couple of days ago and started getting this problem about 2 hours ago and didn't know what was happening. Everything was disabled, including taking the battery from the remote out, yet itunes was still starting up.
    I just found something but not sure if it's the cause of the problem. My audio cable was not connected properly and when i moved it, itunes would start up again, and kept moving it and kept starting up, and while open, i would move it again and it would play songs. I disconnected it and plugged it back in, tried moving it and it would not start itunes. I think this has to do with the port supporting the apple earphones with remote on them. Lets hope this fixes it and if so, hope it helps others.
