Itunes opens by itself and begins playing music at midnight

Anyone know how to turn it off? I can't find anything about an alarm in the settings.

I am having a similar problem. My iTunes begins to play songs at 6 am, but only when it is already on. It will not launch itself. How do you see what is causing this?

  • 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.

  • Why does my itunes turn on by itself and start playing music without me clicking on itunes or without hitting play on the keyboard?

    My itunes will automatically start playing music when im on the computer away from the computer or across the house.  I am not accidently hitting play on the keyboard or anything.  I even quit itunes to close it completly down and still will open back up and start playing music on its own.  i need some help on resolving this issue as it is annoying me to death! lol

    Open Finder> click Go> hold Option and you'll see Library, then browse to the iTunes and iTunes Plug-ins folders.
    To get to the other folder click Go > Computer > Macintosh HD > then browse to the iTunes and iTunes Plug-ins folders.
    Close iTunes and try moving add-ons not manufactured by Apple temporarily to the Desktop to troubleshoot the behavior. iTunes stores these plug-ins and scripts in the following locations:
    Mac:
    /Users/username/Library/iTunes/iTunes Plug-ins/
    /Library/iTunes/iTunes Plug-ins/

  • Itunes opens by itself and plays music at random hours. I was awakened in the middle of the night.

    Does anyone else have this problem? I actually talked to an Apple support person who laughed and said "is this a Halloween joke?" It is not a joke, I am so annoyed by this behaviour of itunes that I will have to uninstall and go without if it isn't solved. I have tried all sorts of things, I have uninstalled 3 times now, waited a few days and reinstalled a new version but it continues to happen. The other annoying and insulting thing itunes does is not only open by itself but then constantly post warnings that I am not authorized to play my music. This is not music that I have purchased but have burned off my own collection of CDs which I think is perfectly legal.

    Thank you!
    My Mac Mini runs iTunes all the time, so the Apple TV's in the LAN can play music stored on the Mini.  Normally, I don't play music directly from iTunes on the Mini, but many times I have logged in to the Mini only to find music playing when it should not be.  I pause the music, and then sometime later it starts playing again on the Mini, seemingly all by itself.  This has been going on for some time, and a real puzzle.  I've tried various remedies, including making an empty playlist and opening it on the Mini in iTunes.  Nothing I tried had worked, so I just turned the iTunes volume completely down, and lived with this "ghost in the machine."
    It so happens my Mini lives in a media closet where one of the ATV's also lives (on the same shelf).  My devices in the media closet are controlled via infrared transmitters inside the closet which, in turn, are controlled by RF via the Logitech Harmony 900 in another room.
    It never occurred to me that the infrared signals sent to the ATV were also being picked up by the IR receiver in the Mac Mini (which I never realized existed and was turned on by default).  I disabled the IR receiver on the Mini, and hallelujah!  No more iTunes music mysteriously playing on the Mini itself inside the media closet!

  • I tunes opens by itself and starts playing.  cnat stand it anymore.  has anyone heard of a solution to this problem yet?

    itunes starts playing by itself.  sometimes when I am away or in the middle of the night when no one is around.  it will play and pause itself etc and quitting itunes or safari makes no difference, it is determined to drive me mad.

    I'm assuming you have already done the standard troubleshooting steps:
    If you get an error when trying to activate iMessage or FaceTime - Apple Support
    There is is an ongoing thread in the forum & while some have finally had it resolved, others are still waiting,  There seems to be an issue with Date & more specifically Time not syncing properly.
    On one of your devices try resetting by holding down the home & sleep/wake buttons simultaneously until the Apple logo appears then let go & let the iPad boot up normally,  Try to sign into iMessage/FaceTime again.  You could also try toggling Airplane mode on & off.   Again, some have had success doing this while others have not.

  • ITunes keeps on opening by itself and playing music!

    On my MacBook Air, iTunes randomly opens and begins playing music.  No matter what I do, it keeps doing this.  I have tried pausing the music (it just keeps playing a few seconds later), closing iTunes (it just opens back up).  It is really annoying and frustrating.  I have only had my MacBook for a year now......and it just started playing Phantom of the Opera, The Point of No Return....now I'm scared.

    Hi sailormoonfreax,
    Welcome to the Support Communities!
    Are you closing the iTunes window, (clicking on the red dot), or are you actually quitting the application?
    I would suggest force quitting the application, and then removing it from your Login items for your User account.
    Another scenario that could be happening is a setting in Mountain Lion that reopens previously opened windows when you shut down or restart.
    The articles below will explain these settings in more detail:

    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3411
    Mac Basics: Set your preferences
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht2490
    System Preferences controls system-wide settings ("global" settings), and is available from the Apple menu at the upper-left corner of the screen.
    Click the General setting and you can choose whether or not windows re-open.
    Click the Users and Groups setting to adjust your login items.

  • Itunes launches itself and starts playing even when my laptop is closed, but I can still hear it. I can't figure out how to keep it from doing it

    itunes launches itself and starts playing even when my laptop is closed, but I can still hear it. I can't figure out how to keep it from doing that.

    See if a device is attached and "open iTunes when iPod is connected" is selected. https://discussions.apple.com/message/16483979#16483979

  • Command to run and begin playing project?

    For some plugin development tasks, it would be helpful if there were a command to load and begin playing a project at 100% zoom immediately upon AE starting up. I've been able to get AE to load my project by passing it as the first command line argument. Is there a way to then start playing immediately?

    Shachar is right, you'll need to use scripting for that.  Here's what I did from the command line on Windows:
    C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe After Effects CS5.5\Support Files>AfterFX -s "var my_file = new File('D:\\Test Files\\Projects\\AEP\\5.5.aep'); app.open(my_file); app.executeCommand(2285); app.exitAfterLaunchAndEval = false;"
    2285 is the command ID for RAM Preview, from the SDK Guide documentation for AEGP_DoCommand().

  • How can I make an audiobook purchased from another source show up in iTunes as an audiobook and not as music?

    How can I make an audiobook purchased from another source show up in iTunes as an audiobook and not as music?
    They chapters are mp3 files. Changing the genre to "audiobook" or "audiobooks" does help.
    I am sure this question will come up a lot, since the book in question is "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows," purchased from Pottermore.com.

    The one thing I would add to the instructions above is that the "Media Kind" menu is on the "Option" pane in the "Get Info" Window. This procedure has allowed me not only to make imported audiobooks show up as audiobooks, but imported podcasts show up as podcasts.

    my buttons arent working and my screen is just black and its playing music, help me!!

    Hello yung_jvyden,
    So your iPhone is on or it wouldn't be playing music yet you can't seem to "wake it up" as the buttons aren't responding.
    There's a section in this article for buttons not responding.
    If your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch doesn't respond or doesn't turn on - Apple Support
    If your device doesn't respond when you press buttons
    Your device might not return to the Home screen when you press the Home button, wake from sleep when you press the Sleep/Wake button, slide to unlock or power off, or it might appear frozen. Try these steps:
    Restart your device.
    If it still doesn't respond, or if it doesn't turn back on, reset your device.
    Note it links to 
    Restart or reset your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch - Apple Support
    Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
