Question

why does my itunes turn on by itself and start playing music without me clicking on itunes or without hitting play on the keyboard?

My itunes will automatically start playing music when im on the computer away from the computer or across the house. I am not accidently hitting play on the keyboard or anything. I even quit itunes to close it completly down and still will open back up and start playing music on its own. i need some help on resolving this issue as it is annoying me to death! lol

iMac, Mac OS X (10.6.8)

Are you using an Apple Remote with another device, maybe an Apple TV?

Try unpairing or disabling the remotes paired with your iMac from System Preferences > Security & Privacy.

If it isn't a remote, try removing iTunes plug-ins.

Open Finder> click Go> hold Option and you'll see Library, then browse to the iTunes and iTunes Plug-ins folders.

To get to the other folder click Go > Computer > Macintosh HD > then browse to the iTunes and iTunes Plug-ins folders.

Close iTunes and try moving add-ons not manufactured by Apple temporarily to the Desktop to troubleshoot the behavior. iTunes stores these plug-ins and scripts in the following locations:

Mac:
/Users/username/Library/iTunes/iTunes Plug-ins/
/Library/iTunes/iTunes Plug-ins/
