Itunes Randomly Opens Automatically

I will quit itunes, then be surprised a few minutes later when the application pops up on my screen again. I have downloaded 7.6 but this problem still occurs. any help?

Hmmm, In my case you may be right! I thought I had got rid of the TuneView software, but I never bothered to check after I deleted the folder out of Applications. The TVUSB Daemon is still running and its source is /Library/Application Support/Keyspan/TVUSB. I will get rid of this and see if my problem goes away. The TVUSB Daemon should not be starting iTunes on its own... that is if it is working correctly.

Get iTunes to open automatically when I connect iPod Touch?

Thanks a lot!

ITunes Randomely opens by itself

My iTunes automatically opens all by iself when i try to close it. Once I close it, about 2 minutes later it opens again. I can't get it to stay closed and this problem is really starting to irritate me, I don't know what could be the problem and why it started doing it. i just recently downloaded iTunes 7, and about 3 days into using it this started.

It is not likely that iTunes is opening itself. Clearly something on your computer is making a call. Those posting here - 'likewise' - have something in common, talk it out.
When does this happen?
You say random!
If you start your computer and do nothing else, hands off after hitting the power on button, does iTunes eventually open? If so, then look at what you have set-up to open or occur with start-up. If not, then selectively introduce some of your past actions one at a time and wait.
Please share your findings.

ITunes keeps opening automatically

I've been gone for the past 2 weeks on Christmas vacation
I came home yesterday, turned on my mac, and iTunes keeps opening by itself randomly.
It was fine before I left.
It's so annoying!
Any help?

Hello--Forgive the delay but I was away for a while after posting...Nothing seems to trigger the problem. I open iTunes, listen, close it. And then it starts re-opening. Every time I quit, it re-opens within seconds. (I have not noticed anything like another app being open that triggers it.) I hope this is helpful.

ITunes not opening automatically

iTunes are not opening automatcially while I connect my iPhone?

When connecting my iPhone, iTunes does not always open automatically. My preferences in iTunes are set to open automatically (under summary>options) and the choice to disable automatic syncing (iTunes prefs>Devices) is not checked. Any ideas as to what else can cause this conflict?
It should. Make sure the iTunesHelper application is in your list of Login Items (System Preferences > Accounts > Login Items). You may need to remove and reinstall the Apple Mobile Device Service:

Also, is there anyway to set iPhoto to not open automatically when connecting an iPhone, yet to open automatically when connecting a digital camera? Seems like Apple could make iPhoto smart enough to know the difference.
It seems that way, but it's not the case. It's an all-or-none thing, unfortunately.

ITunes 5 opening automatically!

I am working on a Word document with contentious style issues. Regularly, iTunes OPENS ON ITS OWN IN THE BACKGROUND, I'm not kidding here, then Microsoft Error Reporting opens, crashes and Word crashes. This is the bizarrest thing I have ever seen. Has anyone else had this? Any ideas how I can get Word to stop opening iTunes and then crashing?

I'm having the same problem!
My PC is running Windows 7 Home Premium 64bit. I installed the latest version of iTunes a couple of nights ago.
I updated my iPhone 4 to iOS5 last night before bed (it took quite a few attempts!).
I turned on my PC when I got home from work this evening, and iTunes started itself automatically. Something it's never done before.
I closed it. I used my iPhone... iTunes started itself automatically again.
I closed it. I used my iPhone... iTunes started itself automatically again.
I closed it. I used my iPhone... iTunes started itself automatically again.
etc. ...
I do have WiFi sync enabled in iTunes, but why would it keep starting itself and connecting to my iPhone without me specifically telling it to?! I don't want it to do that - I only want it to start when I tell it, I only want it to connect when I tell it. I don't want iTunes to start itself every time I unlock my iPhone!

Getting iTunes to open automatically

When I plug my iPhone into my computer, iTunes doesn't open automatically. Is there something I need to do before this will happen?
Thanks for any help.

the iTunes Helper is located here:
/Applications/iTunes.app/Contents/Resources/iTunesHelper.app/Contents/MacOS/iTun esHelper
it should be run at login.. you can do it GUI style by right-click on iTunes.app and 'show pkg contents' and then navigate down to the iTUnesHelper, drag that into your start at login items in accounts in sys prefs.
if it's already there, than you have some other problem interfering.

ITunes randomly opens

For some reason iTunes keeps randomly opening every few minutes.At first i thought it was becuase it was looking for shared libraries but i made sure to disable that. Any suggestions on how to fix this?

Ok, I had this problem too and did two different things and it stopped.
First I opened Dashboard and closed my iTunes widget. I don't think that was the solution, but I did it anyway.
More likely however, I went into iTunes preferences and went to "sharing" and turned off "look for shared libraries".
Thats stopped it (for now at least). I'm running iTunes 7.3.2, I assume you are too. This is a weird bug though, because iTunes wasn't doing this before tonight and now it is... I haven't downloaded any software updates either.
If this starts back up again for me I'll post it. If it doesn't fix it for you, post it too. I sent an email to Apple about it a few moments ago, so I hope I can get a straight answer there.

ITunes Randomly Opening up

Hi,
For some reason randomly iTunes now will just open up. I will have it running, switch a song maybe, and close the window. And then randomly it will just open the window up again. I don't know why, and there is no real pattern. It has just started, so I don't know if it has to do with the update or what. But I will be typing and look up and the darn window is open and I realize none of my typing has been registered.
Any thoughts?

Manually synced, not everything is on my library is on my iPod, my iPod will be sycned, I'll be playing music off of it, and I'll exit the window, (music still playing) and then it will open up sometime afterwards for no reason. Then if I put my computer to sleep, when I reopen it, ipod connects, but it has ! mark next to any song you try and play. So I have to close iTunes completely and then reopen it, then it works. It will still open up even if my ipod is not connected to my computer. The songs on the computer still play, but not on my ipod (gets cut off, like it should). It's not opening because of my iPod syncing, because it will be synced for hours and it still will do it (like I said I'll be playing music off it).
Thanks,
