How can I stop iTunes from launching when I disconnect my Bluetooth device?

Hacks to stop Bluetooth speaker from starting iTunes - http://forums.macrumors.com/showthread.php?t=1666895

Is there any update on this? Any solution? I am experiencing the same issue.

Are there any updates on this? I have the same problem.

It gets worse because it seems to autoplay unopened rented movies from the iTunes store, thus activating the 24 hour watch limit.

Yes this is very annoying. Often I'm playing the Bose Soundlink via bluetooth and iTunes and may step away. The Bose shuts off automatically after a certain amount of idle time and that causes iTunes to all of a sudden start.

I have the same issue… iTunes or QuickTime starts playing as soon as the Bose Mini Soundlink is switched off – either manually or auto power off after a 10 minutes or so. SUPER ANNOYING!!! I'm expecting it's a Yosemite issue and an update will resolve it… hopefully we'll get an update soon???

Mine's doing it to. When my Bose Mini soundlink turns itself off after inactivity, all of a sudden iTunes launches and a podcast turns on, blaring through my monitor's speakers. It happened late last night when we are all asleep. Terrible! This must be solved!

Also running Yosemite.

I'm thrilled to see that so many humans are having the same issue, but bummed to see zero help on the issue.

One solution I have found is to throw the bluetooth device in the river. I'm not convinced that wireless tunes are worth this horrible design flaw. Actually, I don't think it's fair to blame Bose, if you know what I mean. The Soundlink is a tremendous little gadget with very little fat on it. Granted, an OS is arguably a bit more involved than a single-purpose gadget, but this issue seems to have been around since Mavericks. Can we get our acts together and either fix the flaw or at least post a workaround that actually works?

Sorry I had nothing useful to add, but this is definitely a rant-worthy thread and I just want to keep it alive.

I feel reluctant to try your aquatic approach to this problem, alsweeny... I'm still hoping the (usually) brilliant devs at Apple can wrap their head around this!

I am having the same exact issue as everyone else. Super sad that no fix has been revealed. Itunes either opens or starts playing the next cued song when bluetooth disconnects from Bose Soundlink Mini

This problem has been an issue for a number of months and has led to frustration and public humiliation on countless occasions.

When disconnecting from my Bose Soundlink at home (playing nothing) in order to taking my laptop on the run I open my laptop to find that the entire contents of my iTunes playlist is being belted in public. The subway, the library, my classroom is not the time or place for my laptop to make the decision to begin playing my music without permission. When at home and my Soundlink goes on standby I have nearly had a heart attack when my laptop spontaneously begins blaring my music when I wasn't even touching the thing.

I love my Soundlink and I love my Mac but together the devices are causing no end of aggravation with no fix in sight. With each OS update I hope the problem is addressed but to no avail, it is getting tiresome that such a flaw isn't being fixed in a timely manner.

Exact same issue here, it's strange how it only seems to affect Bose Sounlink's. Maybe it's something Bose need to sort rather than Apple.

It happens with my Vizio brand sound bar too. It's still interesting that it's not more widely reported for other bluetooth devices though. Maybe it's specific to the bluetooth hardware that certain manufacturers use.

It's definitely interesting that this seems to be affecting the Bose Soundlink Mini so widely, which is the problem I'm having. There's definitely some misbehaving between this device and OS X in general because quite often it takes a few attempts to even get it to connect to my MacBook Pro (when I turn it on, it signals that it's connected but then when I try to play something it suddenly disconnected again. Takes a few attempts to stop this happening!) Whether this is an issue Bose need to fix or an issue Apple need to fix, I want it fixed!! Definitely something amiss here.

"I spent about 1.5 hours in a log capture session with an Apple technician last night. She doesn't believe that disconnecting a bluetooth device like this should cause iTunes to autolaunch, "

Few things are more infuriating to me than when a customer service rep tells you that you're not having the problem you're having.

Add me to the list of people having this same annoying glitch, although my Bluetooth speaker is an Ultimate Ears Megaboom, not a Bose.
