Why my iTunes open every minute without I have asked?

I have iTunes in my Windows vista and before I made the update for iTunes 10.5 it did not give any trouble, but after the update it open for itself, without I asked or started. I would like to know how can I stop it to open alone? Everytime that I'm working in my PC the iTunes appear. It's getting boring.

I have exactly the same thoughts as you re iTunes constantly opening.
The only way I could find to stop it opening again was to do the following -
Open task manager
Select the 'Processes' tab.
Look for 'iTunesHelper.exe'
Select 'iTunesHelper.exe'  the click on 'end process'
It worked for me, but I don't see why I should have to do this.  There should be an option to prevent iTunes from constantly opening.

  • Why does iTunes open every time I try to open a download?

    I know I sound ridiculous, and I'm sure I'm missing something really obvious, but how do I change the default setting (iTunes) for downloads? Every time I try to open a downloaded game, application, or any other media, iTunes pops up to open the item (which is incorrect AND frustrating), and I can't figure out how to change this.

    Dunno. Do you have an example SVG that crashes Illy on your computer?

  • Why does iTunes crash every time the "books" tab is opened

    Has anyone had the problem of iTunes crashing every time the "books" tab is selected?  Every time I open that tab and begin to browse the contents iTunes give the message that "iTunes has stopped working"  "A problem caused the program to stop working correctly.  Windows will close the program an notify you if a solution is available."  This has been happening ever since I upgraded from iTunes 9 to iTunes 10.

    maybe:
    iTunes for Windows Vista or Windows 7: Troubleshooting unexpected quits, freezes, or launch issues
    or
    iTunes for Windows XP: Troubleshooting unexpected quits, freezes, or launch issues
    and
    iOS: Troubleshooting backup issues in iTunes
    Doing this:
    Removing and Reinstalling iTunes, QuickTime, and other software components for Windows XP
    or
    Removing and reinstalling iTunes, QuickTime, and other software components for Windows Vista or Windows 7

    What is your MacOS version?
    Check the login items in the system Preferences "User & Groups". If you find iTunes there, select it and remove it by pressing the "-" button.

  • Why is iTunes redownloading TV shows without asking.

    Hello,
    I had the problem since two months ago. I was using my iMac, with iTunes opened in the background, when I realized that iTunes eventually started to redownload EVERY TV Show I bought in the iTunes Store previously, at 1080p, it means A LOT of data. I was able to stop it midway, but because of that I ended up paying a penalty fee because I downloaded over my internet usage data cap with my Internet Provider (a thing that never happened to me).
    I was very ******.
    I tried unboxing every checkbox in iTunes options that were related to downloading automatically stuff from the App Store. Even when I did that, it always seemed to restart the whole process as soon as I did something related to the iTunes store (like buying an App).
    Anyway, I decided ultimately that maybe something was wrong with my iTunes library, so basically I moved it, restarted with a new and empty iTunes library and moved in all my media files manually from the import menu.
    That was a month ago and everything worked well after that. However, today it started happening again. I bought an app from the app store and noticed that it started redownloading every episodes from the iTunes store.
    Anyone have an Idea what can be the cause of this ?
    It's only TV Shows. Never had problems with music or apps. (anyway I understand that Apps must download updates)
    (and yes, i'm on the latest version of iTunes and updated version of OS X Mountain Lion.)

    Hi,
    What I mean is that iTunes continues to say "N iTunes downloads available" which it occasionally tries to complete, and I keep hitting 'delete' because I already have the files on my computer's drive, which I assume got there from an AppleTV sync.
    Is there any way to prevent this extra download?
    Thanks!

    Is the iPod recognized by iTunes or Windows?
    Both. When I open iTunes myself, the iPod appears in the list. Also, when I hook up the iPod, Windows opens the folder as though it is a disk -- even though I have left "enable disk" unchecked.

  • Why has iTunes seperated a album which I have copied over from my external hard drive into iTunes? How can you pull all the songs back together into one album again?

    Why has iTunes seperated a album into indevidual songs, which I have copied over from my external hard drive into iTunes? How can you pull all the songs back together into one album again?

    Steve MacGuire a.k.a. turingtest2 - iTunes & iPod Hints & Tips - Grouping Tracks Into Albums - http://www.samsoft.org.uk/iTunes/grouping.asp (older post on Apple Discussions http://discussions.apple.com/message/9910895)
    Quick answer:  Select all the tracks on the album, File > get info, and either give them all a single "album artist", or check the "compilation" flag (as in https://discussions.apple.com/message/17670085).
    If these are from multiple-CD sets you may also need to enter the appropriate information in the disc number fields.  If they are not a multiple CD set you still need to make sure the disc number fields are set correctly or all empty.

  • Is there a way make Final Cut Pro X NOT open every event/project I have worked on at open?

    I will admit, I am quite new to Final Cut Pro X, but have been a FCP user for years - this version is like learning to walk all over again.
    Everytime I open FCP X, it loads every event/project I have ever worked on, and it takes a looooong time.  Is there a way to have it open blank and then let me open only the Events I wish to work with?

    Event Manager is only $4.99 but if you don't mind doing it manually, it will cost you nothing.
    This Apple help article tells you how to hide the Projects and Events you don't want opening in FCP X
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4740
    As usual it makes it sound quite complex but all it involves is making 2 folders which you name Final Cut Events - Hidden  and Final Cut Projects - Hidden and dragging the project and event folders you don't want into them. (The exact name of the folders is not critical so you can choose your own if you wish).
    When you want to see them again you drag them back into the original folders.
    You should move the folders with FCP X shutdown.

  • Updated iTunes to newest version, and once iTunes opened, it crashes immediately.  Have tried uninstalling and reinstalling the program numerous times.  Also had a hard time getting a network connection over the weekend (I knew my connection was fine)

    Updated iTunes to the newest version but have been unable to use it since.  Once it opens and tries to connect to the iTunes store it crashes and asks me to close the program and report the problem.  In the Windows information center, it tells me to update iTunes to the newest version to fix the problem; when I do and I tell it to repair the problem it goes through the motions, but the program doesn't change, it still doesn't work.  I have tried uninstalling and resinstalling the program numerous times from the weekend until now to no avail.  After the update was completed, it had a difficult time making a network connection; I knew that the connection was fine, as I was on the internet and receiving e-mail at the same time.

    Close your iTunes,
    Go to command Prompt -
    (Win 7/Vista) - START/ALL PROGRAMS/ACCESSORIES, right mouse click "Command Prompt", choose "Run as Administrator".
    (Win XP SP2 & above) - START/ALL PROGRAMS/ACCESSORIES/Command Prompt
    In the "Command Prompt" screen, type in
    netsh winsock reset
    Hit "ENTER" key
    Restart your computer.
    If you do get a prompt after restart windows to remap LSP, just click NO.
    Now launch your iTunes and see if it is working now.
    If you are still having these type of problems after trying the winsock reset, refer to this article to identify which software in your system is inserting LSP:

  • HT1349 why would my itunes open every time i turn computer on

    why would my itunes software open automaticaly evey time i turn my computer on

    You could go into MSconfig, and see if its set to start with the machine.
    Normally by default iTunes will open when you plug in your device...there is an option to have it not open when a device is connected..but there is not an option to have it start with the computer that I am aware of.
