iTunes keeps opening itself
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.

so I give up- where is that setting? I have been to every device and cannot find it
If its iTunes 10.5, and your iDevices are iOS 5, then iTunes will open up every time if you have "Open iTunes when this iPad is connected" ticked in the iDevice sync settings. (Because of wifi sync) Uncheck that box and you should be fine.
Thanks Manishearth.
This worked for me.
iphone 3gs / itunes10.5 / iOS 5.
It's because you have wifi sinc on something. When the iPhone/iPod/iPad is connected simply uncheck the "turn on iTunes when iPhone/iPod/iPad is connected" and it should stop opening.
thank you. that was my issue. I havn't noticed that option.
