My iTunes keeps opening/popping up randomly and disrupting computer function. I do not even have wireless, so that is not the solution.

The only answers I have seen to this issue are to "disconnect the wireless," but my computer doesn't even have a wireless adapter (I use ethernet only).  What is the solution to this really annoying issue??

  • 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.

  • Re: iTunes keeps opening by itself and starts playing music

    I have something really strange going on.
    My iTunes keeps opening by itself and starts playing music. I cannot figure this out. I turned off the "Sync Via Wireless" on all my gadgets, but this continues to happen. This has woken me up in the middle of the night until I got so tired of it I just shut my Mac down.
    Anybody hear of this? Know what to do?

    I had the same problem - and as well as opening by itself iTunes was skipping from track to track like crazy. But then I found a post from a few years ago that fixed this.
    Connect your iPhone to your iMac and uncheck the box that says 'Open iTunes when this iPhone is connected'. Problem solved!
    Hope this works for you.

    Sooo annoying. And STILL not fixed.

  • ITunes keeps opening and iMac wont sleep...help!!!

    My iTunes keeps opening after I close it and my computer will not sleep. I have an iMac 24" with Snow Leopard and everything is up to date as of 3/26/12. Does anyone have a solution?

    check system preferences, go to accounts, log in items, see if there is an iTunes stuff there, if there is higlight it and click the - button.
    for the the sleep part you can go to system preferences, energy saver, make sure wake for network is un clicked.
    turn off bluetooth when not in use, the persson who lives next to has either her BT headset or mouse that wakes mine, have our stuff apart by a thin wall 2ft

  • EVERY SINGLE TIME: i purchase something and it i enter my password right? afterwards, stupid itunes keeps on popping the screen up again for me to enter my password. i would enter it over ten time and it would pop up again. i cant even access my account.

    ok, so i've been having this trouble for a long time. i purchase something on itunes right? it asks for my password right? i enter it, but the screen keeps on popping up again and again prompting me to enter my password. i enter it again, it dissapears and it pops up again a few seconds later. the purchase doesn't even go through and i can't even access my acount because of this... HELP PLZZ!!

    Hi, this is possibly a pain, as I experienced the same situation.  Hope you have better results.  It is fixable though....  You have keychain issues, of that I'm very sure, but the problem is fixing them.  For me, it took hours on the phone, with multiple Apple agents to fix.Sadly, they don't all have the same expertise.  Try to get your call elevated to a superior for best results and be persistent.
    Good luck.

  • My iTunes keeps opening arbitrarily and starts playing.  How do I stop that?

    My iTunes keeps opening arbitrarily and starts playing.  How do I stop that?

    You don't. That is how it works. It is a verification process. Would you like anyone that picked up your phone to be able to make purchases? I don't think so.

  • Upgraded to iphone 4 and now itunes keeps opening up on my HP computer all the time?

    I upgraded to iphone 4 & now itunes keeps opening up on my hp. I turned off find my iphone from an article I seen on here, but the problem still continues. Help please advise.

    okay. it is very easy. just kill your itunes application (it will not uninstall or pemanantly remove it from your compter.) just open task manager to open it, (for vista and 7) click start->search ''run''->then in the run window, type ''taskmgr''. (and for xp) click start->run->type ''taskmgr''
    in the task manager window(for both xp, vista and 7), go to applications tab, then click itunes, then click end process button. if there is not any itunes option in the applications tab, click processes tab, cick itunes.exe, then click end process (or) right cick itunes.exe and click end process.
    one thing to note. if you are syncing your iphone and you are trying to kill itunes, it would be a problem so don't do it. to open itunes again, just click in the shortcut or icon you used to open it.

  • My itunes keeps opening on its own without me opening it, it will happen again and again even after i close it. how do i fix it to make it stop doing this as it is extreemely annoying

    my itunes keeps opening on its own without me opening it, it will happen again and again even after i close it. how do i fix it to make it stop doing this as it is extreemely annoying

    If it is doing it while your device is plugged in, it is because it is set to automatically sync. Please go to: Preferences>Devices, and select the option to "Prevent iPods, iPhones, and iPads from syncing automatically." Also, I hate to be "that guy", but you spelt extremely wrong. Just a pro tip.

    You installed a variant of the "VSearch" trojan. Remove it as follows.
    This malware has many variants. Anyone else finding this comment should not expect it to be applicable.
    Back up all data before proceeding.
    Triple-click anywhere in the line below on this page to select it:
    /Library/LaunchAgents/com.2c232f1e4d12129e.agent.plist
    Right-click or control-click the line and select
              Services ▹ Reveal in Finder (or just Reveal)
    from the contextual menu.* A folder should open with an item selected. Drag the selected item to the Trash. You may be prompted for your administrator login password.
    Repeat with each of these lines:
    /Library/LaunchDaemons/com.2c232f1e4d12129e.daemon.plist
    /Library/LaunchDaemons/com.2c232f1e4d12129e.helper.plist
    Restart the computer and empty the Trash. Then delete the following items in the same way:
    /Library/Application Support/2c232f1e4d12129e
    /System/Library/Frameworks/v.framework
    The trouble may have started when you downloaded and ran an application called "MPlayerX." That's the name of a legitimate free movie player, but the name is also used fraudulently to distribute VSearch. If there is an item with that name in the Applications folder, delete it, and if you wish, replace it with the genuine article from mplayerx.org.
    This trojan is often found on illegal websites that traffic in pirated content such as movies. If you, or anyone else who uses the computer, visit such sites and follow prompts to install software, you can expect more of the same, and worse, to follow. Never install any software that you downloaded from a bittorrent, or that was downloaded by someone else from an unknown source.
    In the Security & Privacy pane of System Preferences, select the General tab. The radio button marked Anywhere  should not be selected. If it is, click the lock icon to unlock the settings, then select one of the other buttons. After that, don't ignore a warning that you are about to run or install an application from an unknown developer.
    Then, still in System Preferences, open the App Store or Software Update pane and check the box marked
              Install system data files and security updates (OS X 10.10 or later)
    or
              Download updates automatically (OS X 10.9 or earlier)
    if it's not already checked.
    *If you don't see the contextual menu item, copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination  command-C. In the Finder, select
              Go ▹ Go to Folder...
    from the menu bar and paste into the box that opens by pressing command-V. You won't see what you pasted because a line break is included. Press return.

  • A request for my admin password keeps popping up randomly and a symbol (5 blue circles surrounding a yellow star) will show in the dock. I haven't typed in my password, just keep cancelling it. itg is called finish_installation.

    A request for my admin password keeps popping up randomly and a symbol (5 blue circles surrounding a yellow star) will show in the dock. I haven't typed in my password, just keep cancelling it. The file is called "finish_installation". Also icon is very pixelated. It seems very suspect and I am afraid my mac has a virus?!?!?! Any one? Please help.
    I can not find this file anywhere on the system after this request shows up!

    Doubtful it's malware ...
    Try relaunching the Finder. Press Command + Option + Esc then select Finder in Force Quit window then click Restart. 
    If that doesn't help, launch the Terminal app located in HD > Applications > Utlities
    Copy and paste this command into the Terminal window:
    killall Dock then press Return or Enter on your keyboard.
    The Dock will disappear for must a moment.
    See if that made a difference.

  • 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.

  • ITunes keeps opening?

    Only recently my iTunes keeps opening itself. I haven't done much to provoke this and I don't know what i've done wrong, if anything.
    I tried deleting the .plist files but that does nothing. When ever I start my computer, it opens, when I go to exit it, it opens itself again, this happens over and over until I deleted some files in the iTunes.app, now it opens and closes itself constantly
    EDIT: I restored a few items, I deleted 'versions' folder in the .app and that's why it was doing that. But I have the same problem I started out with,
    Whenever I exit it, it keeps starting itself up. In activity monitor, iTunes Helper and iTunes are open. I tried force quitting the helper, then iTunes, nothing worked.
    Any help?

    angie119,  Try going to system preferences>users/groups>login items, if iTunes helper is there try highlighting it and then click the minus button.  Hope this helps.
