iTune starting up automatically

Why does iTune keep automatically starting up by itself?

My version is 10.5.0.142.

Is there a way to turn it off so that it will only startup when I want it to?

What's the rationale for auto starting it?

Mac mini, Mac OS X (10.7.2)

I think I know why now ...


My gut feeling is this behavior is deeply related to these 2 features on iTune:

  1. Synching with WiFi
  2. Startup iTune when iPhone is connected


Since I turned on [1], iTune began startup automatically by itself. It's almost foreseable that the iPhone is initiating the Synching with WiFi on some kind of schedule by itself. And, since [2] is turned ON, the initiating of [1] is causing iTune to startup on the desktop.


Obviously, I can turn OFF [2] but then, iTune will not startup even when I connect my iPhone physically to the desktop. I guess I can start up iTune manually.
