Itunes won't stay closed and keeps opening itself

Can you help me

I've seen one report of that happening for a person because EyeTV was set to open iTunes when an export was finished.
Could you have some application set to start iTunes after a task is completed?

  • ITunes won't stay closed

    Pretty much what the subject says. I close iTunes, and 10(ish) seconds later it just opens up again on its own. I'm not doing anything with it (that I know of), but it just refuses to quit. Input? Thanks!

    The latter is supposed to be there - I think it lets iTunes run faster (I saw it on Windows, too, when I used it). As for the iPod thing, I don't know whether or not that is true, but if it has been reported you should try it too. If the setting is on, turn it off, click Apply, and then reproduce your problem.

  • MBP SR display latch won't stay closed

    The latch on my new MBP won't stay closed, and the screen won't latch at all or continually pops open. This can be a real pan when the computer is on sleep. Anyone else experience this? Is there an easy fix, short of sending the MBP off for service?
    Thanks.

  • Every time i try to sync my 4th gen ipod touch itunes won't recognise it and the ipod keeps beeping - is there anything I can do?

    This is really frustrating.  Every time i try to sync my 4th gen ipod touch itunes won't recognise it and the ipod keeps beeping - is there anything I can do? I've tried using different cables. Itunes works fine with my family members ipod's & iphones...

     The best way to manage your music when you have multiple iPods is to change the settings under "Options" so that you manually manage your music instead of it doing an automatic synch each time you connect.  To add only the songs you want, highlight them and then "click and drag" them to your iPod.  This way none of your daughter's music gets added and you're not in danger of deleting your playlist as well.  It will show you how many songs you've added and you can then click on your iPod to verify.  To delete her songs off your iPod now, click on the music tab under your iPod so show everything you have stored.  Find those songs you want to delete, click on them to highlight then go up to the Edit window and click delete. This will erase them off your iPod but be careful when you highlight.  I did that and then had to reload a cd on my boyfriend's, lol. hope this helps

  • My iTunes app on my iPhone 5 keeps opening and then crashing, how do I fix this?

    My iTunes app on my iPhone 5 keeps opening and then crashing, how do I fix this?

    Try This...
    Close All Open Apps... Sign Out of your Account... Perform a Reset... Try again...
    Reset  ( No Data will be Lost )
    Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears. Release the Buttons.
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1430
    If no joy...
    Reset all settings
    Settings > General > Reset > Reset all Settings.
    This will return all iDevice settings to factory defaults... you will not lose any data.... But you will have to re-enter all of the device settings.
    If the issue persists...
    Connect to iTunes on the computer you usually Sync with and Restore

    Make sure you have the Latest Version of iTunes (v11) Installed on your computer

  • New Pioneer DVR-110 installed, "patchburned", BUT drive won't stay closed.

    Have had some good advice on how to intall a new DVD/CD drive, but after installing a New Pioneer DVR-110 (I thought succesfully) on my G4, and downloading Patchburn for Panther, the DVD drive now won't function as the computer keeps ejecting or opening the drive tray.
    After installing the drive, I installed Patchburn, and Toast did recognize the drive. I then tried to verify disc permissions on the computer and it kept getting hung up during repair/verify saying it lost connection with the drive manager. Tried Onyx to repair/verify permissions and it too gets hung up. (Had to force quit)
    Any advice on how to get the drawer of the DVD drive to stay closed and what else I need to do to get it working?... Alas I can not even reinstall my original OSX software now as I can't boot from the disc drive since it won't stay closed.
    Thanks, Rob

    You can verify the closeness by opening the empty drive door with the KB and then hold the door open and close drawer with the KB.

  • PB G4 Display Won't Stay Closed

    The display on my PB G4 won't stay closed. There seems to be something wrong with the latch, as it won't catch (or stay caught) when the display is closed. Any thoughts on how to fix this annoyance?
    Thanks.

    Two inches of duct tape or a large rubber band make a pretty effective low-cost fix, but you can also replace the latch assembly — for a hefty price:

    Note that these instructions apply to the Ti DVI models. you don't say which Tibook you have.
    To keep your PB from waking when it opens (it waits until you hit any key), follow these steps:
    To set PB so opening the display doesn't wake the computer:
    Applications > Utilities > Terminal
    Type or paste the following in the Terminal window:
    sudo pmset lidwake 0
    It will ask for your password. Type that in, hit return, and quit the Terminal.
    To change it back so the system wakes when you open the lid, type:
    sudo pmset lidwake 1
    Thanks to Deegan for the tip.

  • ITuns keeps opening itself

    Hi guys!
    my problem is just as the subject says!
    Itunes keeps opening itself
    I tried everything but can't get around this. NOTE: didn't have ituneshelpper to open at login in the first place.
    First i tried deleting itunes preference files - didn't work
    Tried removing every app i could think of that could be interfering with iTunes - didn't work
    Tried to trash ituneshelpper app from itunes package contents - nothing changed
    At this time i think i had itunes 10.7 installed for a while i.e. i think it wasn't since upgrading that this problem began
    then i tried uninstalling iTunes and do a fresh install - kept opening itself at login and periodically if i closed it
    tired removing itunes preference files again to no success
    tried to remove itunes helper at this time because it appeared at login items - no luck! even tough i removed it from login items several times it kept appearing there and even at exhaust (a login items app) all this after trashed the itunesHelper from itunes package contents again!!
    At this time decided to re-install Lion again form HD recovery drive!
    After this iTunes stopped opening at login only to find that i had to install the latest version (10.7) because the library was created by a newer version and as such it wouldn't open!!
    after updating iTunes it started all over again!!!
    And now for a little side problem - might mouse center and side buttons stopped working as well as secondary button!!! can't get around that also!!!
    Help, please!!!
    i'm running lion 10.7.5
    Sorry fort the long post and thanks!!!

    Hi,
    I bought a new core i5 macbook pro a couple of days ago and started getting this problem about 2 hours ago and didn't know what was happening. Everything was disabled, including taking the battery from the remote out, yet itunes was still starting up.
    I just found something but not sure if it's the cause of the problem. My audio cable was not connected properly and when i moved it, itunes would start up again, and kept moving it and kept starting up, and while open, i would move it again and it would play songs. I disconnected it and plugged it back in, tried moving it and it would not start itunes. I think this has to do with the port supporting the apple earphones with remote on them. Lets hope this fixes it and if so, hope it helps others.

  • Collection folder won't stay closed

    I have a Collection set (with nested sub-collections) which won't stay closed. I click the twistie to collapse it, and one second later, it opens again.
    Has anyone else seen this behavior, or have any insight into its cause?

    Usually caused by a sub-collection (or sub-folder) being 'selected' ... 'select' a different collection/folder, and then it should work

  • CD drawer won't stay closed. MacPro 2010. OS 10.8.2

    CD drawer won't stay closed. MacPro 2010. OS 10.8.2
    I restarted with the drawer closed (before it opened again) and the drawer did not open after restart. I reopened drawer and again, it will not stay closed.
    Any ideas?

    Many thanks for your reply. I don't know what I did last nite. I pushed in the drawer and restarted at least twice. Eventually it stayed in. I put in a CD and burned it using Roxio Toast and all went well.
    I have not tried to burn another this AM..
    Thanks again. Trial & error, esp. error!

  • Lid won't stay closed

    The lid on my 15" MBP won't stay closed. It's out of warranty, so I'm looking for something other than "take it to the dealer."

    Hi artwar24,
    It looks like you are running Panther, so you may be out of warranty. If you are and don't have AppleCare, you might try this little procedure I have used successfully for a few years.
    Caveat, this is not for the feint of heart, but with your book at eye level, sight from the side as you slowly close it. This should give you an idea as to which direction the clasp needs to be tweaked. The tension that holds the lid in place tends to tweak it out of alignment over time as it opens and closes.
    Sometimes on mine, with the lid almost closed, I’ll hold the bottom portion with one palm on the front center and exert side pressure toward the front with the other palm. This may fix it.
    Or, before the clasp catches but after it drops, hold it down with a thin object, like a popsicle stick or Q-tip. This will allow you open the lid back up so that you’ll have some working room. Then with thumb and/or forefinger, apply pressure in the direction you feel it needs to go. After a bit, you will get a feel for it.

  • Combo drive suddenly won't stay closed, how do I fix this?

    Hello,
    today, my combo drive suddenly came open and won't stay closed anymore. If I push the close button it closes, and then just opens again. I have tried repairing my disk and reinstalling OSX, I even tried a different keyboard in case the eject key was sticking. I can't figure out what is wrong. Is the drive bad? Can I get a replacement drive that I can install myself if this is the problem?
    Thanks for you help.

    Had the same problem (as have a LOT of others).
    Took the following action which (knock on wood) seems to have solved it!
    Plug in iPhone; when Sync starts, click on "iPhone" under Devices; click on "Summary" page; under Options at the bottom of the page, uncheck "Sync wiyh this iPhone over ..."; click apply; exit after sync is complete......my problem disappeared!
    Note: if the box is already unchecked, try checking it; apply; uncheck; apply
    Good luck!

  • ITunes keeps opening itself

    I recently updated my software and I also recently started using a Shuffle with my iMac - I'm not sure which is causing the problem.
    I have iTunes 6.0.2, and it keeps opening itself automatically. Not when I start up my computer, but if I have iTunes open and then quit the application, it will just open itself right back up approximately 1-2 minutes later. It doesn't do anything - doesn't access the Music Store or start playing music - it just opens itself. So annoying!
    Does anyone know how to make it stop doing this? Is it possible I have it set to automatically open for some reason?
    Thanks!

    Coupla dumb questions:
    Are you actually "quitting" iTunes by going to the iTunes Menu > Quit iTunes or by the keyboard (Command+Q)?
    Or are you just clicking on the red button at the top of the program window, which actually does not quit the program. (The program is still open if you see a small rectangle symbol under the icon in the dock.)
    Also check your System Preferences > CDs & DVDs and make sure you don't have iTunes set to open when you insert a blank disc, dvd or picture CD.
