ITunes opens when I unplug my headphones

I have a late 2008 15" MacBook Pro running Mountain Lion. I use the headphones that came with my iPhone 4 with my MBP all the time. Every now and then, when I unplug the headphones from my MBP, iTunes will open. It doesn't happen every time, but it happens enough to irritate me. Any thoughts? I have searched for an answer to this and could not find anything.
For the record, this same thing happened on both Lion and Snow Leopard. Thanks.

Why does Premiere freeze when I unplug my headphones?

I use a Windows PC, Windows 7. When I am working on a project and plug my headphones in, the sound will not come from the headphones, but my speakers. I fix this by clicking on the sound icon in the taskbar and click on the headphones volume. Then, when I unplug the headphones (to let others watch) Premiere becomes unresponsive. I have to literally start the program over to watch in via speaker sound. Anyone else run into this issue?

HT201263 iphone only shows logo for 13 seconds when connected to pc thats all it does however i connected to wall socket it goes up to connect to itunes but when i unplug it then it switches off

iphone only shows logo for 13 seconds when connected to pc thats all it does however i connected to wall socket, it goes up to connect to itunes but when i unplug it then it switches off.
this is coincidently after an ios update for iphone which i did just approx two days earlier which was suppused to fix battery issues?
also battery shows 100 percent full but as i explained if disconected from socket it switches off altogether.

Hopefully and most likely faulty battery. If you have Warranty or AppleCare, make Genius reservation and take to Apple for resolution.

When I unplug Apple headphones from my MacBook Pro sond from internal speakers not work, and system soud preferences displayed: Output: optical digital out port only

If you see a red light in the audio output port, then the internal switch is stuck. Insert the earphone plug a few times and see if you can trip the switch. If that fails, insert a cocktail stirrer and the like and jiggle it around inside. If that fails, take it to an Apple store and have the technicians at the genius bar do it for you.
Ciao.

ITunes opens when I disconnect iPhone from computer... WHY?!

Ever since the 3.1 update (I believe), whenever I disconnect my iPhone from my computer, iTunes opens... Is this Apple telling me I HAVE to have iTunes open at all times on my computer, and if I don't, they're going to open it for me? It's quite annoying really, and I can't figure out how to make it stop opening each time I disconnect phone from computer.
Anyone else experiencing this problem?

AHHHH! This has been happening to me for a while now. it's REALLy annoying. iTunes pops up for a second when I unplug my phone and then it hides itself in the dock. I wouldn't care, except that I've got limited RAM and use a lot of Adobe programs...and iTunes is a bit of a memory hog.
Wonder if it's a bug or a "feature," though i'm not sure what the feature would be. Please let me know if there is a way to fix this. I've gone thorugh all the options without success

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 have an iPod Classic and when I try to move songs from my library to my iPod, my iTunes freezes. When I tried to eject my iPod, nothing happened and I had to force quit iTunes. When I unplugged my iPod, all of my songs had been deleted. What can I do?

After attempting to move songs from my iTunes library to my iPod Classic, the pinwheel kept spinning and iTunes froze. I tried pressing CTRL E to eject the iPod, but nothing happened. I unplugged the iPod then force quit iTunes, but when I checked my iPod all of the songs had been deleted. I tried plugging the iPod back in and slowly moved music over again, but iTunes still froze. I don't want to restore it to factory settings because I am afraid of losing the pictures I have on there and can't figure out how to get them off.

Are you using a Macbook?
If all your songs on the iPod are deleted, most likely the photios are gone too.
Unless you put the photos, via Diskmode.
To recover the photos that you've put in Diskmode, use Finder to locate where it is in the iPod.
Try also if iPhoto can locate those photos.

Having itunes open when ipod is connected

Nano 4th generation--iTunes always opened when iPod was connected to computer; now it doesn't and going to Devices and scrolling down Summary to "open when ipod is connected" is greyed out and will not allow me to check it. Even going to the iTunes preferences does not offer this selection.

You meant that you can't place a check mark in the check box "Open iTunes when device connected" ?
Just do a little test: Click on Music and see if you can put there a check mark.

How do you manage your iPod? Do you Sync your entire music library, or only selected playlists?

IPod Syncing Automatically/iTunes Opening when iPod Connects

Good morning:
I am at my wits end, so maybe some of the experts here can solve my problem.
My touch is automatically launching iTunes, even though I do not have the launch iTunes box checked on my iPod.
This is where it gets interesting. I just plug it in to charge, it automatically launches iTunes, and then iTunes automatically syncs the iPod.
Of course, I also have "Prevent iPods, iPhones and iPads from syncing automatically" checked in Preferences. iTunes seems to ignore this, and syncs anyway.
The fun part begins right when it begins to sync. Since I like to have a firewall and antivirus software running (which is apparently not compatible with good syncing), my iPod promptly fails to sync, and then iTunes tells me it cannot recognize the device.
So, I then have to disable my firewall and antivirus, restore, run the backup and then manually manage all my music again, plus anything I downloaded before running the next backup because (get this) the second I plug in the iPod, iTunes loads and attempts to sync, which, of course, fails, and so I never get the next backup in.
And I know what you are thinking, just disable the firewall and antivirus before plugging in the iPod. Yea, sometimes I do that and sometimes I forget. Ever forget to do something? Happens to me with frequency.
I have tried un-checking the Prevent box, closing iTunes, opening iTunes, re-checking the Prevent box. Doesn't work; iTunes still automatically opens and then automatically syncs.
iTunes, on occasion, will sync when I close iTunes before ejecting the iPod. Which is always fun if I've gone ahead and re-activated my firewall and antivirus, because I get to start all over again. I'm becoming quite the restore professional.
Why? Any solutions?
My iTunes version is 10.0.1.22, iPod is a 3rd Gen Touch with the current OS version (constantly restoring does that), I'm running Vista, I'm currently standing and my sign is Aries. I'm not sure which of those will be helpful, but I'm trying to cover all the bases.
Thanks in advance.

Welcome to the discussions,
try this to stop autolaunch: connect your ipod, uncheck the autosync option in iTunes/Settings/Devices,
then check the summary pane if the autolauch option is selected. In your case you should now see the selection mark, this one is not visible if you selected to prevent any device from syncing in the settings.
Deselect the autolaunch option in the summary pane and change the settings for autosync again in iTunes/Settings/Devices. Now you should be able to connect without any sync process starting.
To prevent automatic syncing one time, without changing settings: Open iTunes, connect iPod touch to your computer, then press and hold Command-Option (on a Mac) or Shift-Control (on a PC) until you see iPod touch appear in the sidebar.

ITunes opens when I click help in Power Point

I was changing format on a video and now anytime I click help in MS Power Point, iTunes opens. Help!

There is a bug with syncing that causes iTunes to crash at the end of a sync, or at the end of it's communcations with whatever device that you would sync with. If you remove your device from the dock, you should be able to use iTunes, but you won't be able to sync until Apple fixes the problem.
