OS X V10.7 Lion :: Stop F8 Key From Launching ITunes?

Feb 6, 2012

How do I remove any application association with the F8 key? F8 is currently launching iTunes when I hit it and since I don't use iTunes on my work computer and need F8 for other functionality this is interfering with my workflow. I do not see any association with the F8 key in System Preferences > Keyboard Preference Pane > Keyboard Shortcuts. The only thing listed there is: Move focus to staus menus ^F8 I also do not see any way to remove the F8 association in any of the iTunes preferences.

OS X :: Cannot Stop Itunes Launching

Oct 8, 2009

I started to use alarm clock 2 an alarm clock application. But for some reason even though I deleted all the alarms I had set to go off, one still seemed to linger on. And it is still lingering on even though I have deleted the application.

Every morning Itunes launches and starts playing music at 8am and there is no indication that there is another application launching it. I've looked in widgets? that didn't work and I cannot seem to find where the problem is so I can fix it. Also this thing, whatever it is is intefering with my computer for instance I cannot rotate with cmd+tab, through the open applications anymore.

ITunes For Mac :: How To Stop ITunes From Auto Launching

Jun 4, 2014

When on my iMac my iTunes app will launch by itself - and after a time will start playing an audio selection, the choice of which depends on what area of iTunes was the last one I was on.  Why does iTunes auto-launch?  How can I stop it from auto-launching? 

BTW, iTunes is the only app that does this.  Not sure if this is an iMac or iTunes configuration issue.

Info:
iMac, iOS 7.1.1

OS X :: Stop Launching Finder Windows On Bootup?

Jan 14, 2010

I've set up my MB to mount several NAS volumes that I need frequent access to (my documents and photos, for example) on boot up by first connecting to the server and then adding those servers to the "Login Items" list in my account. This caused finder windows for each of these NAS volumes to "pollute" my desktop with every boot. I therefore checked the "hide" checkbox on the list . . . but that hasn't stopped them from opening.

Applications :: ITunes Not Launching?

Aug 19, 2010

I am using the latest version of iTunes on Windows Vista, but this issue has been around for a while in my experience.

I double-click on the iTunes icon on my desktop. I get the hourglass for a second, but then nothing happens. I can do this as many times as I like and the program will not launch.

Checking Task Manager, I see the iTunes process is running as is the iTunes helper. I kill both, then try to launch iTunes - same thing. Nothing.

ITunes For Mac :: Started Launching On Its Own

Dec 9, 2014

iMac OSX 10.9.5, iTunes v 12.01.1.26

About 4 days ago, iTunes started launching on its own after my iMac has been sitting idle for a while. It doesn't start playing music, it just starts up the main screen. I didn't install any plug-ins or any other software prior to this happening.

ITunes For Mac :: 11.2.2 Launching Automatically In OS X 10.8.5

Jun 26, 2014

I can't stop iTunes 11.2.2 from continuously launching automatically in OS X 10.8.5. 

Not connecting any iOS device. It just automatically pops up & the first song starts playing. 

It's not in Users to start at login. 

I've re-installed a number of times to no effect. 

It's incredibly annoying, especially at work - I'm forced to keep my volume off, so then iTunes ends me a warning notification that my volume is off. 

Never happened before, going back over a decade. Just started when I "upgraded" to 11.2.2 from 10.x-something. Bad decision on my part.

Stopping ITunes From Automatically Launching

Feb 5, 2012

Some months back iTunes began launching itself whenever I booted my Mac, something it had never done previously. Initially I just disabled it by removing components from prefs or other locations in /Library or using AppDelete. Is there a way to stop the self-launching without removing components that only make it harder to use when it has to be reinstalled from scratch. I just want it to be a normal app I click on when "I" want it to open.

ITunes For Mac :: Freezing Almost Immediately After Launching

iTunes version: 11.2.2
OS X 10.9.3
MacBook Pro Early 2011 

Recently, iTunes has been freezing almost immediately after launching, irrespective of other applications running. The problem persists even in Safe Mode, and I have to Force Quit the application each time. Some times it runs fine for one song, but usually freezes immediately (not responding with spinning pinwheel).

Applications :: ITunes Relaunches Automatically - Compressor Not Launching

Feb 17, 2008

I'm running iTunes 7.6 on a MBP 2.4GHz with 10.5.2 installed. Last night, after having a problem with Compressor not launching(ie it would launch but no window would display), I was forced to take Apple's Compressor Troubleshooting basics and trash Compressor, Qmaster, and Motion. I reinstalled those applications without a hitch and everything is working. Or so it seems until this morning when I tried to play a song in iTunes. It would hang up briefly, then quit. The subsequent error message was that "...The Problem may have been caused by the FX plug-in." I trashed CoverSutra, thinking that may have been the problem, despite the fact I never used it. I even uninstalled iWOW2 with no results. Trashing the iTunes .plist did yield some positive results as songs would play, but if I tried to quit iTunes, it will automatically relaunch.

After perusing the Apple support discussion, it seems this is a common problem, although many of the reports were from last month. I just find it odd that all of a sudden I'm now encountering these problems. I do have Synergy installed, but I've never had any problems with it before in the past and even with it not running, iTunes still behaves poorly.

ITunes :: Uninstall Itunes & Stop Autoupdate?

Apr 7, 2012

I'm trying to completely remove itunes from my macbook pro. Before the constant questions about why I want to do this: I just don't want it. I haven't felt a need to use it since I got this macbook in over 3 years, and I don't want it cluttering up my computer asking for autoupdates. I also don't want the auto update program to keep telling me to install itunes every week, because, again, I just don't want it.  

So, I need a way to uninstall itunes and also stop autoupdate from telling me that I need to download the latest version. I've already deleted every file that has "itunes" in the name, including the receipt and the application itself, but my comp keeps telling me to update it.  

How do I keep this from happening week after week?

Pro, Mac OS X (10.6.8), Auto Update

OS X V10.7 Lion :: Gestures Stop Working, Lion 'freezes', NFS Server Stops Responding

May 6, 2012

1. Lion's (10.7.3) user interface becomes nonresponsive/'freezes': trackpad cursor moves, keyboard can be used for typing, BUT gestures stop working and "Dock" is not responding (it is hidden automatically). 

2. Tere are frequent "nfs server localhost:/5pBJvp-jULTJrbfF3Hpvc5: not responding nfs server localhost:/5pBJvp-jULTJrbfF3Hpvc5: is alive again" error messages in Terminal while I am running 'find' command.

These error messages seem to be correlated witth the user interface 'freezes'.

ITunes :: Stop Cluttering The Landscape?

Sep 11, 2009

This new version of iTunes (Mac OS X) creates a folder by the name of "Automatically Add to iTunes" on my Desktop (which is also the Music/Download folder by default). No idea what it's supposed to be good for, but no matter how much I trash it to stop cluttering the landscape, it gets re-created at every launch.

QUICK WORKAROUND: Using FileXaminer (or similar utility), make it invisible.
