Itunes opening randomly

For some reason as soon as I close itunes and go about my business with other applications, it opens up again. No matter how many times I quit out of it. I am definitly not accidentally clicking it open again. I'm not sure if there is some type of short cut programed or if its some how in macs version of "startup" programs. Can anybody solve this?

That happened to me before. I used to use an iTunes widget and once I got rid of that it stopped opening randomly. I've also heard a restart of your machine fixes it.

Why is iTunes opening randomly after i close it?

Well, the title pretty much sums it up. About 2 minutes after i close iTunes, it opens again. On its own!
Any idea why?

Did you try repairing permissions? It has done the same thing to me but I think all I had to do is repair my permissions.

Itunes opens on it's own when headphones connected

Itunes opens on it's own when headphones are connected and also starts/stops playing on it's own completely randomly.
Extremely annoying - No problems at all when headphones are not connected.
Crazy - Surely Apple must be aware of this and create a fix.

Let them finish downloading. It's going to keep doing it until you do.
Then look on the Summary tab - is that your account listed? Were you charged for them?
Who knows, maybe iTS support put them in your DL queue by mistake. I can tell you I'm not getting them, so it's not happening to everyone!

ITunes opens to wrong folder

I downloaded a song from the iTunes store - first one in a VERY long time. I see the song and it is the ONLY song I see! I went through Finder and found all my other songs in the iTunes folder (Music -> iTunes -> iTunes Media -> Music) . The new song went into iTunes 1 (Music -> iTunes 1 -> iTunes Media -> Music) and this is the only place I can get iTunes to go. In reading other articles, I see that changing the location in Advanced Preferences, only tells where new songs will go, not where iTunes goes. How can I have iTunes open to my original iTunes folder so I can see all my songs. How and when did it change the Advanced Preferences to iTunes 1 - I KNOW I didn't change it - I don't know enough about it to have changed it. Any help is appreciated.

Somehow you created a new iTunes library. Start iTunes and immediately hold down the option key, then select your old library's library.itl file. You will need to add that waylaid file to the old library by dragging it to the "Automatically Add To iTunes" folder.

Where are iTunes files located?
No, I do not mean just the music. Copying just the media/music files or the media folder creates problems.

When I open iTunes it will automatically go to full screen mode. I can't work out how to turn this off. Only iTunes opens to full screen mode.

Go to System Preferences (under the Apple logo in the menu bar). Choose "General". Click "Always close windows when quitting an application".
That should fix it.

Itunes opens with error -50

Itunes opens with error -50 on my Mac. Once open signing in causes error 5002. Signing in from App store just fails. My Mac pc does not appear to be registered anymore and I can't sign in. On screen Support buttons don't connect so can't contact support online. Tried all the work arounds in discussions but no joy. Even tried deleting itunes to start agin but you can do that apparently. For one work around I Signed in through Safari to change payment details but payment option was not displayed. Getting really p'd off. All is ok on my iphone/ipad etc but not my main pc. Any printable suggestions appreciated.

Found a fix that worked, didnt even need to refresh the network settings
Click the Finder icon in the Dock.
Choose Go to Folder from the Go menu.
Type: /Library/Preferences/SystemConfiguration
Click Go.
In the Finder window, locate the file named "NetworkInterfaces.plist" and drag this file to the Trash.
Restart your computer.
Once your computer has restarted, you will not be able to connect to the Internet. You will need to refresh your network settings to be able to connect again:
Choose System Preferences from the Apple () menu.
Choose Network from the View menu.
If you're using Mac OS X v10.4, choose New Location from the Locations menu.
Click Apply Now at the bottom right.
If your network connection requires any special settings, you will need to put them back in at this point. You would have received these from your ISP or network administrator.

TS2776 iPhone 5, Outlook 2013, Windows 7.0 64-bit. Every time I connect my phone to my computer via USB, iTunes opens with the "accept our terms and service" then deselects the boxes checked under the INFO tab to sync my calendars, contacts...help?

I am connecting my iPhone 5 to my Windows computer via USB. This should open iTunes and start the sync process. Instead of iTunes opening, I get the iTunes service agreement to which I must agree. Then iTunes opens and begins to back up my phone. It is syncing my photos and music (although the music thing is another nightmare), but under the "info" tab in iTunes, the boxes of which functions I want to sync are no longer selected. Hence the computer and the phone are not sharing information. When I select the functions I want to sync, I must either replace or merge. If I replace, I lose the information I recently put into my phone. If I choose to merge, then I have duplicates of everything.
How can I resolve this problem? Why is iTunes acting like it doesn't know my phone?
I'm using an iPhone 5 iOS 6.1.4, Windows 7 64-bit, Outlook 13, and the must current version of iTunes (because I've removed and reinstalled it twice already).
Thanks for any help!

After you'd run the Configure Classic instance did you run in the statement as stated in 'Oracle® Fusion Middleware Installation Guide for Oracle Portal, Forms, Reports and Discoverer 11g Release 1 (11.1.1) Part Number E10421-05'?
java -classpath ORACLE_HOME_DIR\discoverer\lib\disco-config.jar;ORACLE_HOME_DIR\oui\jlib\OraInstaller.jar;ORACLE_HOME_DIR\opmn\lib\iasprovision.jar -Djava.library.path=ORACLE_HOME_DIR\oui\lib\win32 oracle.disco.install.config.DiscoUtil -oraclehome ORACLE_HOME_DIR -tnsadmin TNS_ADMIN_DIR
I've completed an installation with the same steps (although I ran the config.bat file in as_1/bin rather than from the program files list and also I've the jrockit jdk installed)
I've found that this fails with the error;
INFO: This tool works only on Windows Platform. Exiting the program
Which is strange considering this is Windows Server 2008 R2 64-bit
DISCO is running in the EM console but the URLs (as defined in the installation summary report) do not resolve properly. I was just interested to hear if you're installation was the same, this isn't the first installation I've done, they've all had a similar issue

Why won't iTunes open when I plug in my iPod?

I plugged in my iPod, and if I already have iTunes open, I need to close it because it freezes. However, when I try to re-open iTunes, it will not open. I recently updated iTunes to 7.2 and I also updated my iPod software to the most current one. What should I do? I wanted to restore my iPod, because it kept skipping songs before, but now I can't even open up iTunes to restore my iPod. Please help .

Over time I've come across a number of posts concerning iTunes for Windows not opening. One conclusion from other Windows users that you might want to check out has been that it could be the result of malware on your PC. The advice has been to try scanning for malware with AVG Anti-Spyware, you'll find a free trial download at this link: ewido Networks

I get this problem every day or two when trying to connect my ATV 2 running 5.1.1 to iTunes 11.0.1 on an iMac running OS X 10.8.2 (though it started happening with earlier releases of both ATV software and iTunes. I think it started happening regularly following the installation of the ATV 5.0 software, with I think iTunes 10.6 or thereabouts.) They're connected over WiFi via an Airport Extreme basestation.
The TV simply shows a black screen with:
'Could not connect to "<iTunes library name>"'. 'Make sure the computer is on the same network as your Apple TV , the iTunes version is up to date, and iTunes is running.'
I've found the way to fix this problem when it happens is to restart the Apple TV (Settings>General>Restart). This always seems to correct it and allows me to connect to iTunes successfully once again, but the problem always returns sooner or later and I've not been able to determine what triggers it exactly. It seems to happen more often if the iMac running iTunes has been put to sleep with iTunes running and subsequently woken, but it also happens sometimes when I wake ATV and try to connect it to a freshly booted iMac and newly launched iTunes.
I keep hoping a new release of ATV software will fix it but neither 5.1 nor 5.1.1 made any noticable difference and neither have newer releases of iTunes.

When I check for software updates only itunes and random other updates show up but not security updates or safari update. When i check installed updates I realized my last security update was 2011-004 and I still have safari 5.0.6. Can anyone help me?

Don't panic. OS X 10.5.8 is the most popular PowerPC OS out there. People run it everyday without security breaches, including myself. It isn't Windows!
If you're really that worried, I highly recommend Sophos Anti-Virus for Mac Home Edition. Supports PowerPC & Intel and Mac OS X 10.4-10.7.

I just reinstalled iTunes 10.7 on my pc (Windows Vista 64-bit) after that disastrous iTunes 11, and now when iTunes opens, I get an annoying error message "We could not complete your iTunes Store request.

I'm not even trying to get into the iTunes Store.
Thanks in advance if anyone can help.

HT1386 I am unable to sync music to my touch IPod. No matter what I try, nothing works. When I plug the IPod into the laptop Itunes opens but the word 'device' with my Ipod listed does not appear on the left side of the screen,

I am unable to sync usic to my touch Ipod..When I plug it into my laptop Itunes opens but the word 'device' along with the name of my Ipod does not apperar.
My Ipod and Itunes are upto to date. After Itunes opens a small box with the word Ipod appears near the top of the right side of the screen. Then screen will go through the five steps of syncing. Afterward, still nothing has transfered to my Ipod(The box next to the songs I wanted were check)
ANY IDEAS?..THANKS

If you have iTunes 11 turn on the Sidebar. Go to iTunes>View and click on Show Sidebar. You can also do a Crtl+S to show the sidebar. The sidebar is where Devices appears. and Control+B to show the Menu bar
Then make sure that you have the right boxes chacked to sync. See:
iTunes 11 for Windows: Set up syncing for iPod, iPhone, or iPad
Have you successfuly synced from that iTunes library before?

Everytime iTunes opens on my Windows 7 pc, I get the error message -42110 while it appears iTunes is trying to download a movie I didn't order. Any suggestions?

TS1363 my ipod shows up in My Computer...until ITunes opens

my ipod shows up in My Computer and the E drive...until ITunes opens. Then the ipod disappears and ITunes says it can't identify it and the ipod disappears from My Computer. I have Windows 8.1. I have uninstalled and reinstalled ITunes. I've shut off the ipod service and turned back on. I've reset the ipod settings. Basically, I've worked through all the suggestions from the website and nothing has solved the problem.

I have exactly the same situation except that my IPAD2 also disappeared from ITunes.
I managed to resolve the IPAD by re-installing the device driver specifying C:\Program Files\Common Files\Apple\Mobile Device Support\Drivers\usbaapl64.inf and as soon as I had done that the IPAD re-appeared in ITunes.
I cannot get the IPOD to work though. Windows insists on seeing it as a disk drive and if I try to install usbaapl64.inf as above I just get an error message saying it is not a compatible device.
I can access the IPOD and see video/photos etc until I run ITunes. Before running ITunes the IPOD is identified as a device with the correct name. As soon as ITunes runs the name disappears and it shows simply as "E:"
I've run out of ideas now so I'm hoping that someone comes up with a solution.
