Itunes restart automatically when i quit it

Hello
I'm running os x Lion 10.7.4 and iTunes last version 10.6.3 on an Imac 24" 2.8GHZ core 2 duo (4go ram) early 2008
When i quit itunes, it restart automatically, impossible to stop it. It uses all my cpu too.
There is no message in the console output
Please help me
Thanks

The first thing I'd suggest is to get a good antispyware checker and give it a go at your system. Some recent spyware has been reported by other users to shut down iTunes or prevents it from launching. From user reports, Ewido seems to be the best at catching it. You can download a free version of Ewido here.

I have updated to the latest version of iTunes (11.2.2.3). However, when I connect my iPod it shows in My Computer and iTunes opens automatically when the iPod is connected but the device doesn't show in iTunes. Any ideas?

My itunes opens automatically and i quit but it opens back up again

I am on my computer and itunes opens automatically and starts playing music. I close it and quit it but it just opens right back i tried restarting my computer and everything. nothing seems to work

This is a possible solution:
Open up Activity Monitor and search for the process genredetection.
Quit this, and iTunes should then behave properly and quietly quit when you want it to.
If the process is not running check your ~/Library/iTunes/iTunes Plug-ins
and disable any present to see if they are the cause.
I create a folder iTunes Plug-ins Disabled to put them in.
Thanks ... Ken

ITunes Restarts Automatically

With the last few releases of iTunes 7.x I've noticed that after shutting it down it will restart itself automatically. My iPod is not connected, and even if it was it is NOT set to "start iTunes automatically when connected". iTunes doesn't restart automatically every time, it just seems to bounce back about every 3rd time I shut it down, and its really annoying if I'm trying to shut down my PC and head out the door quickly! Any ideas?

Yes I 've been having the same problem! I'll quit, or press "apple-q" and within a couple of minutes it starts itself up again! This is getting so frustrating because it is slowing down my Macbook I think. I recently upgraded my iTunes to version 7.3.2 and I don't know how to solve this problem, it only started once i upgraded.

Since updating to 10.9.2 iTunes starts automatically when watching movies via Safari, that annoys

Hi
since the most recent update, iTunes starts automatically. I can quit iTunes at least 10 times since it finally stops to launch.
Any idea, why?
thanks in advance

Thanks for your helpful hint, but unfortunatly it did not solve the problem. I know, its rather difficult to explain:
I use the same order on MacBook Pro & Mac Mini (sorted by name in descending order). Both display the photos in iphoto correct as follows:
"20111009 London
20111008 Festival
20110924 Marriage
20110820 Summer
20110617 Italy
20110524 Spring
...etc...
20030101 Wintertrip"
But on apple tv 2 - only when using the Mac Mini as the source - the order is wrong like this (on apple tv 2):
"20110924 Marriage
20110820 Summer
20110617 Italy
20110524 Spring
...etc...
20030101 Wintertrip
20111008 Festival
20111009 London"
Using my MacBook Pro as source for the apple tv 2: everything is fine, the sort order on my apple tv 2 is correct. I imported "20111008 Festival" and "20111009 London" both after the update to iOS5, when I returned from London. I updated my Mac Mini, MacBook Pro and my apple tv 2 (ios5, iphoto 9.2 and iTunes 10.5).
I did another test and changed the sort order on the Mac Mini to be sorted by date and in ascending order. This had no effect to the way the photos are displayed on apple tv 2. The photos are still displayed wrong as described above ("20111008 Festival" and "20111009 London" are put to the very end). It seems, as if apple tv 2 does simple ignore the sort order given by Mac Mini. On apple tv 2 I have to scroll down to the very end to watch my Festival photos and my London photos.
I have two apple tv 2 and the problem is just the same. This is why I thought it might be a problem of my Mac Minis iphoto library or the way it is transmitted via iTunes.

ITunes opens automatically when iPhone3G is docked, but I don't want it to.

I seem to be having the opposite problem that others have been posting about, which is that iTunes doesn't open when they connect their iPhones/iPods.
In my case, it does, but I don't want it to. I've been keeping the iphone in the dock next to my computer to ensure that it has a full charge before I hit the road each day, but if I take it out of the dock to take a phone call or do something else with it, then the next time I insert the iPhone back into the dock, iTunes fires up, even though I've made no changes that require a resyncing.
I've gone through the prefs in iTunes, but the only thing I can find is a setting under Sync that says "Don't automatically sync...", but that's only half the problem.
I seem to recall a setting somewhere at some time in the past that said "Open iTunes when this iPod is connected". What happened to that setting?
Is there some way that I can redock the iPhone without having iTunes boot up?
Thanks!

Hehe, I was able to recreate your scenario exactly, and I got mine to work, hopefully it will for you too:
To recreate your scenario (greyed out "Automatically sync when this iPhone is connected", it NOT checked, yet iTunes still opens when iPhone is connected) I did this:
I don't know if this part matters, but I started out with "Automatically sync when this iPhone is connected" checked in the device summary tab (too lazy to see if it matters. ;o)) then I went into preferences -> syncing and CHECKED "Disable automatic syncing for all iPhones and iPods". After this, I went back to the Summary tab and sure enough, got the greyed out message for "automatically sync" and it now it is UNCHECKED. Closed iTunes, plugged in my iPhone and lo and behold iTunes still opened!! This is your scenario exactly right?
So it appears that the combination of settings issue, because here is what I did to fix it: Preferences -> syncing and UNCHECKED "Disable auto sync", then went to the summary tab and UNCHECKED "Automatically sync" (because it ungreyed out and became checked again after changing the other setting), closed iTunes, connected my iPhone and iTunes stayed closed.
Hope this works for you.

Itunes opens automatically when surfing the web

I've noticed that recently itunes will open automatically when I surf the web. Granted that I was surfing the same adult website, but I think there is something going on here like a hijack.
My apple is a late 2009 unibody macbook running snow leopard (I own lion, but it *****....I want the old finder back)
the site is xnxx.com that I have this issue with. remember it's adult so please don't be a puritan if you're going to address this issue.

I'm not sure why that would be. It may be possible to trigger a download from the iTunes Store, which would result in a request from iTunes for your password before proceeding. If that's possible, I would consider that to be a minor security issue, but since everything you could potentially download from there has been screened by Apple, there wouldn't be any malware involved.
Still, if you're concerned about drive-by downloads (and note that this is not behavior that has been seen from any Mac malware to-date), you should make sure to update your system and should make sure Java is disabled in your browser. For more about keeping yourself safe, see my Mac Malware Guide.

ITunes opens automatically when I download music

When I download music my iTunes automatically opens and adds the new file to my library. Is there any way to stop this? I want to add the new files after I have reviewed and renamed them.

You have two things going on.
When you play a song in iTunes, it automatically adds it to the library. There is no option to do otherwise.
Apparently, you also have iTunes set as your default player for files of type MP3. Pick another player (I like Winamp) to use as your default. This will allow you to play/review new files in the other player, without iTunes knowing about it. Then, if and when you wish, you can add them to your iTunes library.

ITunes opens automatically when I disconnect my bluetooth speaker

I have a Bose Soundlink Mini paired with my Macbook Air and play sound from various applications (Spotify, VLC, Chrome etc.). If sound is playing and I shut the speaker off, the sound will continue playing from the computers internal speakers, which is expected and wanted, but it will also cause iTunes to automatically open for some inexplicable reason. I don't know why iTunes launches, but it is very annoying.
After browsing the internet for a solution I've tried to disable iTunes helper by removing it from the list of automatically launched programs upon login and then also opening the iTunes.app package and renaming Contents\MacOS\iTunesHelper.app to something else. This did not stop iTunes from automatically launching when I shut of the speaker however.
Does anyone know why this is happening and how I can prevent it? I don't mind preventing iTunes from automatically launching altogether for whatever reason. But I would like to avoid to uninstall iTunes completely if possible. Suggestions are welcome!

ITunes starts automatically when turning my computer on

ITunes on OS X 10.10 automatically starts when I turn my computer on. My iPhone is not connected. I tried going through System preferences > User & Groups >Login items but ITunes is not on the list of applications that I want to open automatically. Can someone please help?

Shutdown the computer. You will see a dialog:
Uncheck the option to reopen windows. Now open General preferences in System preferences. Check the box labeled Close windows when quitting ....

ITunes 7 automatically relaunches after quit.

I have the same problem on both my intel mac mini and my MacBook Pro. The problem is worse on my mini as iTunes can hardly stay closed for 30 seconds and usually will relaunch immediately after quitting. The MacBook Pro tends to wait about 3-5 minutes after I quit to decide and launch iTunes - especially when I'm trying to play a game or anything else full screen, this is extremely annoying as it takes the full screen item, puts it in a window, and forces the machine's focus to iTunes.
Any idea what might be causing this? I thought it might be autolaunching from detecting a fake ipod, but I unplugged my ipod and both machines kept launching iTunes. I even unplugged the USB cable from the computer to see if that might help, but no matter what I try, the problem still persists and iTunes has already launched twice in the time that I have written this.
Any suggestions would be much appreciated.

iTunes related Widgets can cause these problems.
Disable them and see if this helps.
Other users reported they could enable them again, without the problem returning.
hope this helps.

Clearing Safari Cache Automatically when it Quits

I work for a school district that uses Safari 2.0.4 on eMac’s running 10.4.7 and 10.4.8 and the students have their network home folders located on a 10.4.8 Server.
I would like to have Safari clear its cache every time a student quits Safari or logs out, but don’t see a way to have this done automatically. Is there a script or utility out there that clears the cache automatically?
Thanks for the help!

Hello again,
Ok, let's give this a go then
Personally, for editing scripts I like to use the command line 'vi' editor, but for starting with that may scare you off so lets use the regular TextEditor application for the time being.
Fire up TextEditor and open a new document. Change the type of the document to be a plain text file. This can be done via the Format menu -> Make Plain Text option (if it says Make Rich Text, then the file is already in plain text mode).
In the editor, copy and paste the following, but remove the line numbers I've added:
1 #!/bin/bash
2
3 logFile=/tmp/SafariCleanerLog.txt
4
5 echo "-----------------" >> $logFile
6 echo `date` >> $logFile
7 echo "" >> $logFile
8 echo "Deleting Safari cache files in: $HOME/Library/Caches/Safari/" >> $logFile 2>&1
9 echo "" >> $logFile
10
11 rm -rf $HOME/Library/Caches/Safari/* >> $logFile 2>&1
Some lines may appear to wrap around in the webpage, so use the line numbers as your guide to know if something is supposed to fit on one line or not.
This is what it does:
- The 1st line indicates what particular shell application to use to execute this script (/bin/bash in this case)
- The 3rd creates a variable that I'm using to store the path to a log file for what this script is doing
- Lines 5 to 9 append some logging information to the logfile we've decided to report to
- Line 11 does the actual deletion of the Safari cache files. rm is short for remove, aka delete, and the -rf means recursively (i.e. all subdirectories in the Safari cache folder) and forceably (i.e. don't askif you are sure for each and every file). The cryptic 2>&1 at the very end is to make any error messages that rm might generate appear in our logfile. If you try out the commands to see how they work, please please please be very careful with rm, once a file has been rm'ed its gone - it doesn't go to the Trashcan
Note that if you want to see more about what each of these commands do, you can use the man pages either from the Terminal itself or here. ('echo' is a built-in command to bash, so you would need to read the bash manpage for information on that)
Ok, so now we have a script. Save that on your Desktop with a name that makes sense for you (e.g. SafariCacheCleaner.sh - sh is the standard extension used to indicate something is a script, it's not required)
Now we need to execute a few Terminal commands to make this work when a student logs out. Fire up the Terminal from /Applications/Utilities/Terminal.app
The first thing we need is somewhere to place the script that is out of bounds to regular users, students, etc. OS X already has an area for scripts in /Library/Scripts/, so you may want to create your own area under this folder. For example, I created a 'Custom' folder via the following:
sudo mkdir /Library/Scripts/Custom
You may want to replace Custom with something else, like SchoolAdmin for instance. sudo is a command that gives the executor temporary administration rights. When you press return after typing the above command, you will be asked for a password - enter the password for your current user account and press return (note that you will not see anything appear in the Terminal while you are typing, this is a security feature).
Next up, we need to copy the script to this location and give it the correct permissions to be executed:
sudo cp ~/Desktop/SafariCacheCleaner.sh /Library/Scripts/Custom/
sudo chmod 755 /Library/Scripts/Custom/SafariCacheCleaner.sh
In this case, sudo will probably not prompt you for the password as it trusts access for a few minutes. If you leave things for, say, 10 minutes, it would ask you for your password again.
cp is the command for copying files/folders.
chmod is used to change permissions on a file. In this case, 7 means the owner of the file can write/read/execute the file, the first 5 means anyone in the same unix group as the owner can read/execute the file and the second 5 means everyone else can read/execute it.
Lastly, we need to tell OS X that we want this script to run everytime a user logs out. This can be done with the following command (this is one long line that the browser may wrap):
sudo defaults write com.apple.loginwindow LogoutHook /Library/Scripts/Custom/SafariCacheReset.sh
Hopefully, that should be it. You can test it out by logging out of your account and logging back in. The /Users/YourUsername/Library/Caches/Safari/ should be sparkling clean now.
I've tried to be a bit verbose to explain what's going on, so it's not as complex as it may look at first.
If you have any questions at all, feel free to ask - it's better to be sure of what you are doing when it comes to the Terminal sometimes.

N97 mini restarts automatically when sending messa...

I am having problem with my n97 mini. Sometime it restarts (soft resart) automatically. many times it happens only when i send message or some time when flap is opened or closed. Is anybdy facing the same problem?

Most likely a simple software issue. Make a backup of your personal data using Ovi Suite, then perform a software update (if you already have the latest version, it will be reinstalled).
Restarts often happen if there is an issue with a particular app, in your case apparently the messaging app. It is a bit like when a program stops responding in Windows.

Itunes plays automatically when bluetooth speaker connected

Whenever I turn on my Ravon Gem bluetooth speaker, it starts playing whatever is selected in iTunes. This even happens if there is a rented movie selected. A couple of times this has happened when I wasn't ready to start watching the movie yet. It doesn't ask if I want to start the movie now. This also happens if I am watching or listening to something other than iTunes when I turn my speaker on. Then I get 2 things going at once. I can find nothing in prefs to change this behavior.

same problem here!
