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.

Itunes keeps reopens by itself after i close it on xp

Has anyone out there been able to figure out why and how to stop itunes from reopening itself after you close it on windows XP. This is an xp ? so please don't post mac os answers. From what I read and heard from support, no-one at apple knows why this is happening. I used itunes to legaly buy and download music. I do own an ipod and therefore don't connect one to my computer. I have a feeling it has to do with the ipodservice and or the itunes helper service that seem to ignore the fact that I have disabled them in services.msc. But nothing works. I will listen to some music via itunes, download some from the store, etc.. When I am done I will try file/exit, or closing via the x in the top right corner. Then suddenly the software reopens... I dont want to have to stop using itunes, but I can not get a fix for this I may just have to switch over to rhapsody via windows media player. Appkle tech support said they couldnt help me and didnt know why it works. Thats sad cause I spend a lot of money on intunes and if they dont care about me, then i can only assume they will treat me the same if I bought one of thier computers. Looks like they lose a customer here..... Any insights would much be appreciated. Links from previous post anything that might help me fix this issue that apple says too bad your a pc user.

I'm having the exact same problem in Windows Vista. It has only happened since the last update to iTunes; it didn't happen before that. It happens ever five minute or so and is making me insane. Of course, I can't delete iTunes, since that's where my iPod library resides. Somebody MUST do something about this. Can anyone help?

ICal opens itself (even after i close it)

I may need a list of iCal files to help me through this, but whenever I close the app, it opens itself right back up, sometimes right away, sometimes a bit later. It is very persistent and a hassle since I don't even use iCal. What do I need to do to get this app to stay closed until I need it?

Thanks, Austin,
There were three calendars checked, Personal, Business, & Trade (I do not remember creating that one). In any case, I just unchecked them all and closed the app. Maybe that will take care of the problem. If so, I am embarrassed that I did not do that sooner!

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.

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.

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

Do you have any third-party add-ons/plugins installed for your iTunes, ajay? If so, what are the called and what version do you have?

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.

My itunes won't launch even after reinstalling. Looked in itunes folder and somehow lost itunes library? HELP!

My itunes won't launch even after reinstalling. Looked in itunes folder and somehow lost itunes library? HELP!

The first thing I'd suggest is to get a good antispyware checker and give it a go at your system. Some recent spyware has been reported by other users to shut down iTunes or prevent it from launching. From user reports, Ewido seems to be the best at catching it. You can download a free version of Ewido here.
If that doesn't cure the problem, try deleting the iTunes preference files:
C:\Documents and Settings\<username>\Application Data\Apple Computer\iTunes\iTunes.pref
and
C:\Documents and Settings\<username>\Local Data\Application Data\Apple Computer\iTunes\iTunes.pref
You might have to turn on "show hidden files" to find them. (Right click "my computer", select open, select Tools menu -> Folder Options. Select View tab, "show hidden files" radio button is in the center scrolling panel.) Delete them or if you want to be able to put them back if it doesn't help, drag them to some other location. This will force iTunes to run the setup assistant the next time you launch iTunes. Note that you'll have to go back and set any preferences you've changed from the default.
If that still doesn't work, try this:
Bugie: Perform a Thorough & Complete Uninstall and Reinstall of iTunes/QuickTime.
Hope this helps.
