ITunes opens without warning every 5 minutes

Of late, iTunes will open itself in the background. For example, as I type this, the Main iTunes window just opened itself behind my web browser. I didn't open a file linked to the program, nor the program itself.
Any suggestions?

Check Dashboard to see if you have any iTunes-related widgets running. If so, close them and see if that makes a difference. A plugin for iTunes may also cause iTunes to launch automatically.

1035 Warning Every 15 Minutes on a Multi-Role Exchange 2013 Server

Hello,
I keep getting a 1035 warning every 15 minutes by Exchange 2013 which states:
Inbound authentication failed with error LogonDenied for Receive connector Client Frontend EXCHANGE-SERVER. The authentication mechanism is Login. The source IP address of the client who tried to authenticate to Microsoft Exchange is [127.0.0.1].
This error is produced by MSExchangeFrontEndTransport.
This server is a multirole server and is the only Exchange Server in the organization.
Thank you for your time.

Hi,
Please open the Queue Viewer tool from the Toolbox node to check if there are any messages stuck in queue. If yes, then this issue occurs if the Exchange server cannot authenticate with the remote Exchange server. Exchange
servers requires authentication to route internal user messages between servers. The issue can be caused by one of the following reasons:
The Exchange server is experiencing Time synchronization issues
The Exchange server is experiencing Service Principal Name (SPN) issues
The required TCP/UDP ports for the Kerberos protocol are blocked by the firewall.
Please follow these steps to solve this issue:
Check the clock on both servers and domain controllers that might be used to authenticate the servers. All clocks should be synchronized to within 5 minutes of one other.
Verify that the
Service Principal Name (SPN) for SMTPSVC is registered correctly on the target server.
Make sure that the SMTP and SMTPSVC entries are added correctly to the machine account by using the
SetSPN tool. For example:
SetSPN -L <ExchangeServerName>
SMTP/<ExchangeServerName>
SMTP/<ExchangeServerName>.example.com
SMTPSVC/<ExchangeServerName>
SMTPSVC/<ExchangeServerName>.example.com
Check for duplicate SPNs by using the SetSPN tool. There should only be one entry of each:
SetSPN -x
Processing entry 0
found 0 group of duplicate SPNs.
Verify that the ports required for Kerberos are enabled.
If the previous steps do not work, you can turn on logging for Kerberos on the Server that is registering the Event 1035 message, which may provide additional information. To do this, follow these steps:
Click Start, click Run, type Regedit, and then click
OK.
Locate the following registry key: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Lsa\Kerberos\Parameters
On the Edit menu, point to New, and then click
DWORD Value.
In the details pane, input the new value LogLevel, and then press Enter.
Right-click LogLevel, and then click Modify.
In the Edit DWORD Value dialog box, under Base, click
Decimal.
In the Value data box, type the value 1, and then click
OK.
Close Registry Editor.
Again check the System Event log for any Kerberos errors.
Best Regards.

ITunes will not open in Windows 7 for one User. All I get is the Licence Agreement pane and when I click YES nothing further happens. I have set up a second user and iTunes opens without problem in that User window.

Clearly something is blocking the main user(administrator) from opening the iTunes programme and I cannot find a solution.

Many thanks for your reply. Yes I carried out the suggested procedure in safe mode , which did not resolve the issue and so this is what led me to set up a second User account. iTunes opened without problem in this second account and so I looked at the User-specific troubleshooting but I just could not locate the iTunes Preference files no matter how much searching I did.
I also tried uninstalling and re-installing but the problem persists. Would be very grateful for any further advice.

ITunes opens and re-opens without warning

Here's the deal. This has been going on for a while now but it's now starting to become a problem. Every time I close iTunes, it decides to open itself up again and the only way to keep it closed is to ctrl+alt+delete and close it via the processes tab. But now a new, rather irritating issue has come up. Now it decides to open at will every time I go into my itunes folder. No warning and no explanation, it just does. I have looked for fixes and nothing has worked. I have no widgets or gadgets that would cause make this happen and I have done several tests reguarding my keyboard and related apps (including shutting off the apps and unplugging the keyboard) and the same thing happens so I have reason to believe that is not the confliction. I have tried doing a clean install but that was a bust as well. If anyone knows of why this happens or knows how to prevent it, please let me know.
If it helps, I have the latest version of itunes x64 (or whats claimed on the apple site as the 64 bit version but windows still reads it as a 32 bit executable) and all the updates for windows 7 Professional x64.

wow. I don't quite understand why keyboard software would make this happen, but that is a darn shame that this is the exact case. especially when all the other media players I have on my computer, even Windows Media, doesn't act like this. Guess I'll just have to make due and live with it because I really like the software. Thanks for clearing this up for me.

How do I get itunes to stop loading every few minutes on my computer? I X out of it and it comes r ight back.

How do I get itunes to stop loading every time I turn on my computer? I X out of it and it comes right back. I have tried everything, even had a computer expert try, no luck. I tried uninstalling itunes and tried a new download, it came right back. Very annoying. Help!

Hello all,
I am not in front of my computer but I will try to be clearer::
plug your iphone or iPad with the USB cable in the computer
it launches iTunes or you launch iTunes directly.
in the left colum , in the middle your equipemnt appears
click on it
the middle space will change and you will see horizontal tabs named home, ??, app, music, and so on
click on the first tab and check all the space:: at the end, if I remeber well there is a check mark for manual sync
or it is on the secon tab where you choose to sync mail accounts, notes etc... at the end the checkmark "manual sync" should be checked hence itunes will not sync by itself but only if you ask for it

My itunes library opens by itself every 10 minutes, how can I stop this?

Several days ago my itunes library started opening on top of whatever I was doing without any prompting from me. It initially started this while I was playing a game on my pc, now it does it all the time regardless of what I am doing. What is causing this action and how can I stop it?

Does is completely restart or just go into sleepmode? If sleepmode: go to Settings - General - autolock and change that setting.
If it just restarts:
1. Try doing a hard reset:
Press and hold both the Home button and the Sleep/wake button simultaneously for about 15 seconds and release when the Apple logo appears.
2. If that doesn't solve the issue, backup the device and restore it as new.
In that case, use: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4137
NB: set up as a NEW device because a software issue will be in the backup. If the issue persists after restoring as new, you should offer the device for service.
If you get specific error messages/codes in iTunes when updating/restoring, check this: http://support.apple.com/kb/ts3694 for causes and solutions
Good luck

ITunes opening without being clicked on

I did a quick search and couldnt find any information about this problem, but if its already been addressed, just post the link. My problem:
Ever since I updated to iTunes 5.0.1, iTunes will open unexpectedly without being clicked on. I can quit it, but less than a minute later it will open again. Not sure what is going on.
Thanks!

HT1473 Is there a way to make my substantial CD library available in iTunes/iCloud without importing every CD?

I have a pretty large collection of CDs that I would love to make available to my collection of Apple devices via iCloud and iTunes. Is there a way to bypass the tedious import process (to be repeated MANY times)? Via iTunes Match with the appropriate UPC code from the CDs themselves? I'm thinking that Match already has all the music in my collection. And if there are some that aren't available I can import those ones...

Is there a way to bypass the tedious import process (to be repeated MANY times)?
Yes. If you purchased the CDs from Amazon, they are automatically available as files in the Amazon cloud, via the Amazon "Auto Rip" process. You can download them from there, and add them to your iTunes library. Therefore, you do not need to manually rip your CDs one by one.

Explorer.exe (?) crashing without warning, closing all open programs

Hello! I recently got a windows 8.1 computer and have been using it for only a week, but I've been having issues with what I can only assume is explorer.exe.
The taskbar will randomly completely disappear, leaving only a blue empty space at the bottom of the screen (possibly getting rid of my desktop background as well), close every program I have open without warning aside from the one I'm using at the time
(generally google chrome) and doesn't seem to restart itself on its own. I have to ctrl+alt+del to get to the task manager to manually start explorer.exe again, which works without an issue aside from possible lost unsaved progress from the closed
programs. I don't get any pop up saying windows has encountered any errors, it just does it for maybe no reason.
I can't think of why it would be doing this because again, I've only been using it for a week. It doesn't happen often, it's done it maybe two or three times but it seems it might not be stopping any time soon. I checked the reliability monitor and
it doesn't seem to recognise this issue as anything, nothing shows up for this. Any help to resolve this would be much appreciated, or even just finding out why it's doing it. Thank you!

AppleTV restart always without warning since iTunes 9

Hi.
My Apple TV worked very fine since I updated to iTunes 9 and to Snow Leopard. I don't know which one could be the cause. My apple TV always restart without warning each 2 minutes when it's on the main menu doing nothing or when playing something like music. Sometimes it restart with and sometimes without asking the language to use. So it,s impossible to use it properly now.
I ran the diagnostics and it told me that everything was working fine. But it's not !!! The only thing I didn't done is to restore the factory defaults.
Does somebody has encountered this problem before ? Can somebody help ?
Thanks
Emmanuel

There is nothing about iTunes 9 that would cause your ATV to restart at random. The timing is probably just a coincidence.
Try unplugging it, then plug it back in to do a hard reset. If that doesn't solve the problem, you could try a factory restore. If the factory restore doesn't fix it, you may have hardware failure, in which case you would need to take it to an Apple store or call AppleCare.

When one acco has iTunes open, the other users get error message

I have Vista Ultimate, 64 bit. My computer has three user accounts. If one user has iTunes open, then, when another user logs on, he gets window after window of "You can't start iTunes because someone else has it open", even though he's not trying to start iTunes!
The only solution is to log off the first user which is not always desirable if that user is not around. This is happening awhile now. Is there no fix yet???

I have the same problem described; let me add some information.
1) I am set up as the "Owner" in Win7. My wife is set up as 2nd account. If I have iTunes open and my wife opens her account nothing happens. However, if my wife has iTunes open and I open my account, Windows gives me that annoying message saying that another user has iTunes open...every 30 seconds.
2) I searched through the forum and found several others with the same problem:

Most interesting thing I learned from this is that this error is found on multiple Windows platforms, but everyone is using an HP computer.
Is there some script that HP runs that is messing with iTunes?

I had 9 tabs open on Firefox every day when I start at work. Today, the tabs no longer open. Plus Firefox closed without warning and again the tabs did not re-open.

I have 9 tabs open on Firefox every morning when I start work. Today the tabs are not there. I re-loaded the tabs and about 10 minutes later, Firefox closed without warning. When I went to open Firefox again, the tabs were gone again. I checked the options box under Tools, and the "show my windows and tabs from last time" is already loaded. Please help!
== This happened ==
Just once or twice
== This morning

Make sure that you not run Firefox in [[Private Browsing]] mode.
In Private Browsing mode some menu items are disabled (grayed) and some features like visited links and others are disabled and not working.
You are in Private Browsing mode if you see "Tools > Stop Private Browsing".
See [[Private Browsing]] and http://kb.mozillazine.org/Issues_related_to_Private_Browsing
You enter Private Browsing mode if you select: Tools > Options > Privacy > History: Firefox will: "Never Remember History"
To see all History settings, choose: Tools > Options > Privacy, choose the setting '''Firefox will: Use custom settings for history'''
UnCheck: [[ ] "Automatically start Firefox in a private browsing session"
Another possibility is that there is a problem with the file [http://kb.mozillazine.org/sessionstore.js sessionstore.js] in the [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder_-_Firefox Profile Folder]
Delete the files sessionstore.js and sessionstore.bak and any existing files sessionstore-##.js with a number in the left part of the name like sessionstore-1.js .
See http://kb.mozillazine.org/Session_Restore

Itunes randomly opening every 5 minutes

my itunes keeps on opening randomly every 5 minutes or so. it's happened before and I fixed it but i can't remember how!!! any ideas?

Disable any third-party iTunes-related apps or widgets, including the iTunes Dashboard widget.

Itunes Opening itself every 2 minuites - APPLE NOT LISTENING

Itunes is opening itself every two minutes and playing music. I do not have any 'devices' plugged in. It is not enabled for startup. I remember having this problem a year or so ago with another update on an older operating system but that fix does not work. Now regrettably running Lion ( hate the new mission control) so as not to lose my mobileme. There are obviously many people with this itunes problem, yet there are no replies from Apple in the discussion forums and once again no help from them either. I have been a mac user since my Mac classic nearly 20 years ago and am now so tired of having to continually sort out, find patches, try to get things to sync with apple that I cant believe I'm saying this I'm thinking of actually buying a P.C. I waste so much of my day trying to fix things going wrong on my mac that actually having one is costing me my work time. SORT IT OUT APPLE.
