ITunes keeps opening itself when I connect to my Bluetooth speaker

Every time I connect my computer to my Bluetooth speaker, iTunes automatically opens itself. I can't figure out what causes this, but it's annoying and I would like for it to stop. Does anyone know what causes this? Thanks in advance

    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.

  • ITunes keeps opening itself

    I recently updated my software and I also recently started using a Shuffle with my iMac - I'm not sure which is causing the problem.
    I have iTunes 6.0.2, and it keeps opening itself automatically. Not when I start up my computer, but if I have iTunes open and then quit the application, it will just open itself right back up approximately 1-2 minutes later. It doesn't do anything - doesn't access the Music Store or start playing music - it just opens itself. So annoying!
    Does anyone know how to make it stop doing this? Is it possible I have it set to automatically open for some reason?
    Thanks!

    Coupla dumb questions:
    Are you actually "quitting" iTunes by going to the iTunes Menu > Quit iTunes or by the keyboard (Command+Q)?
    Or are you just clicking on the red button at the top of the program window, which actually does not quit the program. (The program is still open if you see a small rectangle symbol under the icon in the dock.)
    Also check your System Preferences > CDs & DVDs and make sure you don't have iTunes set to open when you insert a blank disc, dvd or picture CD.

  • 11.3.1.2 Itunes keeps opening itself, not connected to any devices!!!

    I installed Itunes 11.3.1.2 as a clean installation on my laptop last week. Running Windows 7.
    I have connected the Ipad Air ONCE only. Yet for the past 3 days itunes has randomly opened itself up, it's doing it when no one is home, when we're asleep etc.
    Nothing is running that should open it, no widgets, no media players NOTHING absolutely nothing!!!!
    I have searched the community and found a heap of ideas on what might be triggering it and tried everything on there that i can and nothing helps.........
    Please any ideas will be fantastic its driving me nutty!!!!!!!!!

    screenshots below of my itunes preferences:

    This basically reset my driver and now everything works fine with getting it to show up in itunes, however is still will not allow me to use my personal hotspot. Ive noticed when i turn on personal hotspot on my phone i see this:
    so obviously we are missing a driver or something that enables the personal hotspot to function correctly. I just can't seem to figure out where that is located.
    UPDATE***
    i went to the folder that was by the previous driver i updated
    C:\Program Files\Common Files\Apple\Mobile Device Support\NetDrivers
    i selected netaapl64.inf
    and now Personal Hotspot works and it shows up in device manager like this:
    hopefully this helps whoever else is having this issue

  • ITunes keeps opening itself up

    Hi, can somebody please tell me how to disable iTunes from continuously opening itself up for no paticular reason? I'm not sure why it started doing that but now every 2 minutes or so iTunes will just start itself up and it's getting incredibly annoying.
    help please!!

    Go to System Preferences/Hardware CDs and DVDs and check if iTunes is set to open whenever you insert a disk of any kind (although music CDs is a natural choice, obviously)
    Also, check your Login Items in System Preferences/Accounts for any iTunes related stuff
    A likely cause can be found by making note of what you are doing when iTunes launches ... if you are working with media files of any kind -but potentially any kind of file - check to see what application is being opened by double-clicking that file (use Get Info).

  • ITunes keeps opening itself up, how do I stop it?!

    Okay all I've become more than irritated by iTunes lately. Every time I go to click the x in the upper right hand corner, or even go "File" then "Exit" every thirty seconds or so after I close out iTunes it unbeknown to me opens itself back up. I've gone through services.msc to disable anything that could cause it to open itself back up. I've even checked everything in iTunes so I have to manually open it up.
    However as I said before, every bloody time I close iTunes 30 seconds later it opens itself back up for no reason at all. In order to fully close it I have to use cntrl, alt, delete and shut it down fully that way. What else can be done to stop this? This is really driving me crazy.
    Other than this little thing I have no problems. Oh and I have an iPod Classic 120GB and Windows XP.

    So you put up with IDVD opening at start up even though you may not even need it to?
    I just fixed this on my own. Somehow IDVD had gotten included in my start up preferences under log in options. Removed it. Problem solved.
    Thx.

  • Itunes keeps shutting down when I connect my IPod Classic

    Itunes shuts down whenever I connect my IPOD classic  and sync attempts to start.  I have had this IPod for several years and I have had Windows 7 for over 6 months.  I am trying to update versions, but I get an error message with that also.I have also seen posts on Microsoft and they aren't helpful.....I have seen many posts on Itunes also regarding same issue. What is up when the company will not fix their problems with the products?

    I downloaded the 64bit system....did it like 3 times.   Finally, I found some other helpful hints.  I tried loading ITUNES in safe mode, still couldn't get it to not shutdown once I connected the IPod, I then logged into one of my other user accounts, then I was able to restore the settings, however, it removed all my songs and syned with the Itunes on that user acct (which was my nano IPod).  That was ok, because then I was able to go back to my regular account and sync and updated all my songs....just had to have my kids authorize me again on Itunes.  Think it's a racket to keep upgrading, changing things and not supporting the stuff that still works.....my classic works just fine nd holds 5,000 songs...I only have about 1500; so I have long way to go.  When my display cracked and the LCD was all messed up. I sent it to IFIXIPODS fast.com and they replaced it, quick and cheap--hats off to them!

  • 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?

    Only recently my iTunes keeps opening itself. I haven't done much to provoke this and I don't know what i've done wrong, if anything.
    I tried deleting the .plist files but that does nothing. When ever I start my computer, it opens, when I go to exit it, it opens itself again, this happens over and over until I deleted some files in the iTunes.app, now it opens and closes itself constantly
    EDIT: I restored a few items, I deleted 'versions' folder in the .app and that's why it was doing that. But I have the same problem I started out with,
    Whenever I exit it, it keeps starting itself up. In activity monitor, iTunes Helper and iTunes are open. I tried force quitting the helper, then iTunes, nothing worked.
    Any help?

    angie119,  Try going to system preferences>users/groups>login items, if iTunes helper is there try highlighting it and then click the minus button.  Hope this helps.

  • ITunes keeps opening up, even after I close it?!?

    Anyone else experiencing this? Jeeze, it is getting annoying. I close it and in about 3-4 minutes, it opens again.
    I'm on a new PowerBook G4.

    I have the EXACT same issue. I'm on a G5 PowerMac. It's not happening on my new Powerbook (G4) but i didn't install the latest OS update on my powerbook because it's giving me issues on my G5 (ichat doesn't work and iTunes keeps opening itself). I think it has something to do with the update that's just my guess.

  • Why my itunes does not launch when i connect my iphone to my mac air?

    why does my iTunes not open automatically when i connect my iphone to my Mac Air?

    OK ... I'm going to answer my own question.  I checked the box in iTunes PREFS "Prevent iPods, iPhones, and iPads from syncing automatically" then went back to the DEVICES screen, iPhone summary, then unplugged the iPhone, and then back to iTunes PREFS and re-checked that box, then quit iTunes.  Then I plugged the iPhone back into the computer and Voila!  iTunes opens and syncs!  Why?  Who knows?
    This did NOT SOLVE the problem of wireless backup ... still not working ... whether iTunes is open or not.

  • 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.
