iTunes keeps opening itself

Whenever the computer is on (iMac 2GHz, OSX 10.4.11) iTunes keeps opening itself. Never did this before but recently ( a couple weeks ago) I allowed an auto software update, that's about the only change I can think of, but it only started doing this a couple days ago. I close the application and within a couple minutes it has opened itself again, underneath whatever application I happen to be using (close that app and there is iTunes, opened again lurking under the app window I was looking at). It does this over and over, even when the computer is in sleep mode.

Help?

I was having this issue before realizing I was the inadvertently causing it. My AppleTV sits, under my TV, on a wall in my living room facing my iMac which sits a short distance away on the opposite wall (if you can picture that). Turns out that the plastic frame around my TV was reflecting the signal from the apple tv remote back to the computer on the opposite wall which was triggering the iTunes app and causing it to open and play when I was just trying to watch Hulu on my apple tv 😊. Hope this post eases the insanity I imagine some of you (in my boat) are feeling.

Go to iTunes and click on update and see if your iCloud app needs to be updated. That fixed mine.
