ITunes Keeps Starting Up Attention Cappy

Hello All
This is the third post I've made about a few issues I'm having with ML and they have gone unoticed. Can someone please
give me some help. Cappy if you pick up on this can you please help me?
1. iTunes for some reason keeps opening up on it's own. It just launches itself. Very annoying. I'm thinking of uninstalling it.
Can someone tell me how to completely uninstall iTunes, or is it a bug?
2. In my downloads folder for some reason it always wants to show folder and application info e.g 24MB ....ect. It seems
no matter what I try it always come back and show info.
I posted these questions almost a week ago, except the iTunes bug. I also posted about VLC 2.03 where it turned my display
that is the menubar and dektop. That seems to have cleared up. But was wondering why it would do that. Does it mean there
is something going own with my display. I have a mid 2011 MacBook Pro 8GB of RAM.
iTunes has just started up on it's own while I was writing this.
Thanks!
Regards,
MacJoseph

Do you use an iTunes widget? I used to use one and for no reason, iTunes would start up. I got rid of the widget and all was well afterwards. Not sure why that happened. Give that a try if you use an iTunes widget.

ITunes keeps starting automatically

iTunes keeps starting automatically on my Macbook Air. When I quit iTunes it just restarts again within about 2 minutes. I have checked my Dashboard widgets and there is nothing there related to iTunes. It's unclear what has triggered this and it's VERY annoying.
How can I stop it doing this?

Was having the same problem but seemed to have solved it. Did the following:
1. Went into CDs and DVDs prefs and set when you insert a music CD and picture CD to ignore
2. Went into iTunes -> prefs -> Devices and unchecked "Look for remote speakers connected with Airtunes" and "Look for iPhone and iPod touch Remotes"
3. Installed Lingon (http://lingon.sourceforge.net/) and checked all my startup processes and Daemons. Found some old things like MySQL trying to launch (even though web sharing is off) and an old Maxtor one touch driver and disabled the processes or removed them.
4. Checked the console log to be sure nothing else was running or creating an error that I didn't need anymore.
I apologize that I can't say what solved it, but aside from the prefs in the apps, it may have been an old piece of software (like my old Maxtor drive) that was still trying to run that may have been triggering itunes.
Good luck to all.

ITunes keeps starting up

hello
Since updating my iPad to iOS5 itunes keeps starting up and I close it and just randomly starts up again after a few minuets or so, how do I stop it.
I know the iPad sync's wirelessly with iTunes but when I close it I expect it to stay closed, I actually feel like unistalling iTunes as its so irratating.

I think it may be because your ipad/iphone is turned on, as now it sync's wirelessly. So if it's (ipad/iphone) turned on it assumes you want to work with it.

ITunes keeps starting by it's self

What is connected to the Mini?
Try disconnecting everthng but the video out, keyboard and poiting device.
What is running when this occurs?

ITunes keeps starting at random

Since I have updated to 10.5 iTunes will start back up after being closed for 5-10 minutes. It's pretty annoying. I've already rebooted after the update and the problem is still existent.

Mine too..

ITunes keeps starting and starting and starting like the undead

iTunes (64-bit version) keeps trying to start on a pc (Vista 64bit) where multiple users are logged in. Whenever one of them opens iTunes, the other account tries to open iTunes and repeatedly tries to start and gets the "another user already logged in" error. When I try to close out the open iTunes, it closes, but then restarts itself. When I try to close the reopened iTunes, it stalls, then says that one or more applications is using the scripting interface but I can't figure out what.
I've used msconfig to disable all the non-essentials on start up but it's still happening right after logging in. This is without any ipod or other devices connected, home sharing is off, I've unchecked all the "look for" and shared library boxes. I appreciate any ideas on how to solve this or at least on how to identify what's trying to use the scripting interface (and yes, I realize this wouldn't happen on a mac:)

I have 2 ideas.
1) Go into each windows user account, start itunes, and do the
itunes menu > help > Run diagnostics > network connectivity tests.
The results will show if there are any 3rd-party itunes plug-ins that could be causing itunes to launch.
(edit: plug-ins use the iTunes scripting interface)
2) Get SysInternals process monitor and see what is accessing itunes.exe. You have to be fairly PC-savvy to download, install, configure and run this advanced troubleshooting tool.

ITunes keeps starting the song over again

I just got the new version of iTunes (7.0.1) and the songs work fine until I try and add the album art. As soon as I add the album art the song will play for the first 3-5 seconds and then start again about 1-5 times before it continues to play the song. This is really starting to get annoying, can anyone help?
Windows XP

My problem is that ITunes plays my songs but keeps on "pausing" "skipping" on tracks for a couple of secondsa then continues. I thought it was my PC but all the songs work on Windows media player. Any suggestions Ver 7.0.2.16?

Suddenly iTunes keeps starting itself

Just today I am having to deal with not being able to shut itunes down. It shuts down but a couple of minutes later it just starts itself back up.

Check Dashboard to see if you have any iTunes-related widgets running. If so, close them and see if that makes a difference.

HT1349 My iTunes keeps crashing every single time I open a Windows PC or Laptop and the "Matching with the itunes store" starts. It's driving me nuts because I can't sync to my iphones or my ipad.

My iTunes keeps crashing every single time I open the software on any of my PCs and laptops. Once the Itunes match features starts it's ony a matter of a minute or two before the software crashes. I have tons of new songs that I want to sync to my ipod, ipad and iphones but can't get it accomplished. Any suggestions??

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.

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.

I suspect you meant 1015, not 1051. You have a jailbroken phone. you can't get help here.
