Hi there, I've been having some trouble with iTunes... every now and then (almost every single time) it'll just load itself without me even launching it, and will start reproducing an item I've got (the only one).
This is frustrating since I always quit it and it'll just open again, automatically. I can't seem to stop the app from doing so, nor to stop reproducing automatically.
Beforehand, thanks.

Hello and welcome to Apple Support Communities, freckles1001.
If I understand your post correctly, iTunes seems to open and duplicate itself on your Mac. I can understand how frustrating that must be. I'd like to help.
Let's do some testing to narrow down the issue.
Safe mode will tell us if the issue is related to a startup item or plugins, and sometimes corrects the issue. This article will tell you how: Use safe mode to isolate issues with your Mac
If everything is working correctly in safe mode, but is not working when you get back to your user account, please check the section titled "If an issue doesn't happen in safe mode" for the next troubleshooting steps.
If the issue continues while in safe mode, a test user will let us know if the issue is isolated to your account, or system wide: How to test an issue in another user account on your Mac. If the issue happens in the test user also, then please check the section titled "If an issue happens in more than one user account."
Let us know if that resolves this issue for you.
Thanks for using the Apple Support Communities. Take care.
