ITunes opens by itself, can't find solution

I'm running iTunes 11.1.5 on my MacBook Pro with the 10.9.2 OS X, 2.53 Ghz Intel Core i5 processor
iTunues is auto-launching several times per day - and driving me crazy. I don't have any devices turned on. Auto-sync is turned off, even when I have the devices plugged in. I can be doing anything from using MS Word for Mac to checking email on Safari, Chrome or even Firefox and all of the sudden, iTunes launches.
I don't have iTunes Help installed as a startup item, so that can't be it.
I've read through the forums as much as possible, but almost all of the nuggets of advice are about having the devices plugged in (which I don't), turning off auto-sych (it's not on) or even checking the widgets. I don't have the iTunes Widget installed and don't ever use the Widgets.
Does anyone have a solution?

Hi, I started having this problem a yesterday. I watch movies on my TV via the mini display port of my macbook pro and have to move the mac next to the tv (my friend has borrowed my hdmi extension lead and not brought it back yet!) While browsing the forums I saw that someone made mention that the 1/8 inch audio socket has some sort of magnetic sensor to determine whether the jack is optical (plastic) or a standard (metal) audio and it might have something to do with that. My macbook was sat on an old speaker (not in use so I didn't think it would affect my computer), so I have moved it off the speaker in case the magnets in the speaker drivers were causing a problem with the audio socket sensor. It appears to have worked (I did only move it 30 minutes ago however).
Do you have any speakers close to your computer? If so maybe moving it might help.

IPhoto can't find photo even though the thumbnail is present. Any help, there are dozens of photos in my library that won't open as iPhoto can't find them.

iPhoto can't find photo even though the thumbnail is present. Any help, there are dozens of photos in my library that won't open as iPhoto can't find them. This is probably a very common question!

With the amount of information you've provided it's impossible to offer a potential solution. We need to know the details of your problem and situation, i.e.:
what version of iPhoto are you using?
what system version are you running?
what do you see when you launch iPhoto to open your library?
what fixes have you tried before coming here?
where is you library located?
how long has this been occuring?
did you apple any updates or upgrades just prior?
are you running a "managed" or "referenced" library?
what type of Mac?
how much free space on your boot drive?
What do you see when you click on a thumbnail?

I am having same problem with apple tv need 4.4 version and can not find solution this a brand new product out of box yesterday why would it not already have updated version. I am getting frustrated that I can not get this mirroring icon to work. I have tried all suggestions in this thread and nothing works. I also hooked up to laptop through iTunes with micro USB nothing!!!

The new appletv software came out 2 or 3 days ago, how would Apple get it on the device in the box in a store?
Why don't ou update the appletv software?

I have two iPhones on my iTunes account. How can I find out what apps go to which phone?

I have two iPhones on my iTunes account. How can I find out what apps go to which phone?

I don't believe that there is a way to do that. I would sugest using automatic downloads to keep your apps synced across both phones. You might also want to note that just about any app you have ever download will be available for free download via icloud.
Wish I could be more help.

Are they gone completely from the computer, or just no longer in the library? Check your movie media folder.
If your'e in the USA you can download some movies a second time, but not all (studio dependent). You should always back up all media.

Ad iTunes on previous computer, can't find my libraries now I have re-downloaded for new computer. My wedding tunes were on my old iTunes - have I lost them all??

I had iTunes on previous computer, can't find my libraries now I have re-downloaded for new computer, does this mean I have lost all my music content? My wedding music was on there, and i had paid loads to download stuff. I assumed it was all saved somewhere like hotmail messages. Any ideas, please? Jane

Download Past Purchases
Sign in with the Apple ID that you used for the original purchase. See which Apple ID you used to download an item.
2) See if the content is available for redownload. Previously purchased items might not be available if they're no longer on the iTunes Store.

Does anybody know if Windows 8 is causing a problem with iTunes? Many songs on my old iPod are now missing in my iTunes library and I can't find them anywhere. Also, I have a new iPod and am afraid of using it for fear of something else going wrong.

Try assigning Queen as the Album Artist on the compilations in iTunes on your computer.

HT5035 i have a itunes gift card how can i find the balance on my card?

i have a itunes gift card how can i find the balance on my card?

If the value of the card isn't printed on it and you don't have the purchase receipt, the only way to determine the value of the card is by redeeming it. If you have already redeemed it, then the card is now valueless. The credit balance is carried in your iTunes Store account and will be displayed in iTunes next to your Apple ID when you're signed into the iTunes Store, or on an iOS device at the bottom of the screen in the App Store or iTunes Store apps.
Forum Tip: Since you're new here, you've probably not discovered the Search feature available on every Communities page, but next time, it might save you time (and everyone else from having to answer the same question multiple times) if you search a couple of ways for a topic, both in the relevant forums and in the Apple Knowledge Base before you post a question.

Hello Wyodor,
thanks for your reply on my question.
You are wright the index file is 308 KB.
And offcourse that I delete my files and documents is not an Iweb problem, but because my English is not that good, that I thougt I try to tell the whole story, and hope people can read trough the lines.
Why I didn't use Iweb to upload to the server is because the server company recommanded to use file zilla. And I am a nobody with this kind of things, so I did exactly what they tell me to do.
No, i did not make a backup of Iweb and the domain file, but reading other messages on this forum showed me that I can maybe try to make empty the cashfile (?)
and otherwise I have bad luck and have to make my website again. Offcourse I have a lot of examples from all the pages (copied from the local map to my USB stick) and my website is aprox. 15 Mb, (not so big) so it will cost me a few nigths.
But I'm still hoping on a miracle :-)
greetings Lasource

Hi, I purchased itunes match in order to convert the previously purchased songs that reflected copyright and would not copy to other device. Ran itunes match however, I can not find a way to obtain my 62 matched songs to place on hard drive to copy.

Donna,
You have to delete the DRM copies from your library first.
See the section "Can I upgrade my previously purchased music to iTunes Plus?" in this guide: iTunes Store: iTunes Plus Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

I just exported some music from Amazon to iTunes but now I can't find my original iTunes music. How can I find them?

I just exported some music from Amazon to iTunes but now I can't find my original iTunes music. How can I find them?

I did this by going into the folder where the Amazon MP3's were and copied the link into iTunes under the add file link in the menu. This music was purchased before I had an iTunes account so I wasn't aware that they could've been automatically exported. I still have the iTunes MP3s on my iPhone. Could I sync them over or something to that extent because I can't find the files at all even when doing a system search.

IPhone 3G: iTunes 10.5.1 can't find the apps

Just tried syncing my iPhone 3G with the latest downloaded version of iTunes (10.5.1), and iTunes tells me it can't find the apps, so it's refusing to sync them. iTunes hasn't messed up the apps on the phone, and it has a list of the apps I have installed, but there is no "screen view" on the apps tab in iTunes. Anybody else seen this? Any clues as to how to fix it?
Thanks!

OK - pretend I never asked. I just closed iTunes, disconnected the iPhone, reconnected it and hey presto, it all works again. I note, however, that it re-installed the USB device driver software when I plugged the iPhone back in. When I restarted the PC after installing the latest iTunes, I left the phone plugged in, which I guess was the cause.
Do I get points for answering my own question?

How do you delete your iTunes account? I can't find it anywhere!

Itunes won't open. Says can't find the folder

Hi,
I could install Itunes and Quicktime, I already tried the msconfig solutions but it doesn't work. I have a ipod with video and I can't get it to work because itunes won't open.
It displays the license agreement and after I agree it displays error message "Can't find itunes folder or can't be created and is needed for Itunes to work. This is normally located under My music folder".
I tried to create manually the folder, and still doesn't work.
Can you help me with this or tell me if I can use another application to transfer video and photos to my Ipod?

This error prevents iTunes from launching. The library file was modified to work with the newer iTunes version, so it is no longer compatible with the previous version. The good news, however, is that Apple does backup the iTunes library file into a subdirectory that you can use to revert back to the previous version.
To recover a previous version of the iTunes Library.itl file, use the following steps:
Open up your My Documents\My Music folder.
We will first backup the current version. Rename iTunes Library.itl to something like iTunes Library.itl.bak.
Go into the My Documents\My Music\Previous iTunes Libraries folder.
You may see several files that start with iTunes Library and have a date included in the name. Copy the newest file in the folder.
Go back to the My Documents\My Music and paste the file from the previous step.
Rename the new copied file to iTunes Library.itl.
Your library should now be restored to the previous version of iTunes, and you should no longer receive the message.
