iTunes keeps opening by iteself

I've been Googling this for a while. I keep seeing the same offered solutions, and they're not working:

1. I don't have any conflicts in my Login Items

2. I don't have any related widgets causing a problem

3. "Open iTunes when this [device] is connected" is UNCHECKED for ALL my iOS devices

4. "Sync with this [device] over Wi-Fi is UNCHECKED for ALL my iOS devices

Every solution I've seen so far claims one of those, above, will solve it, yet iTunes keeps opening. I have to Force-Quit it 3 or 4 times in a row to get it to close. It opens again about 15 to 20 minutes later EVERY TIME.

This started after I updated my iPad to iOS 5.1.1 (9B206)

Any insight would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks!

I had the same problem too. I just renamed iTunes to Music, and the problem went away.

"I Love Stars" has just been updated again, and no longer causes iTunes to relaunch.

I now have this problem. No idea how or why it started. Just restarted once and there it was, the zombie iTunes.

I run 10.6.8

Mine just started doing this the last week. I have not made any changes or added any music or devices. Cannot figure this out. I'm running ML 10.8.5.

This was bugging me for weeks and your post solved the issue for me 🙂

I have to find a new alarm clock now 😐

I am having the same problem on my MacBook Pro. The music in I-tunes starts playing at the most inappropriate times, like faculty meetings! Please get this fixed!
