Turning off Bluetooth speaker, triggers iTunes App to open

I have the Bose Soundlink Mini as well and this issue started happening after I upgraded from Mavericks to Yosemite. I usually leave iTunes open, so whenever the speaker powers off (automatically, or I manually turn it off), iTunes will automatically play a song. It will start iTunes if it's not running. It also wakes the Mac from sleep if it's in that state. Very frustrating! (Not to mention the separate issue of audio lag from the BT speaker after upgrading to Yosemite)

I'm on:

10.10

iMac 27, late 2009

iTunes 12

Try the SportX3 speaker. Mine doesn't do that.

Same problem here. Additionally, it takes two passes at loading in twitter to complete the page load.

Has Apple addressed this yet? Any solutions? I have the exact same problem - turn off bose, itunes opens.

Very frustrating, and also doesn't make sense.

And as with most new annoying little things like this, it starting happening when Apple decided we needed to update again.

I've also asked a "Genius" at an Apple store about this. His reply was, "well that's quirky, have you tried searching online?" So, no help at the store.

OSX 10.10.1

iMac (Late 2013)

12.0.1.26

I also have this Issue (Bose Soundlink Mini). Please fix this Apple its crazily annoying!!

Same. iTunes will open if it's closed but won't play music. If iTunes is open when the speaker is turned off, then the music starts playing back to my macbook pro speakers. This is so annoying!

I did that show package contents thing and all it did was prevent iTunes from opening when I tried to open it myself.

Apple can we please get a response??

I too am having this issue with my Bose Soundlink iii. And it drives me insane. I'll be sitting in the other room 30 minutes after last listening to the speakers. Then all of a sudden my iMac starts blaring some random music. Super annoying.

I have the same problem. iTunes starts playing whether Bose Soundlink (not Mini in this case) is powered off manually, or turns off automatically after standby (about 30 mins). If iTunes is closed, the application will open when speaker turns off (manually or auto). Please provide a fix!

Add me to the list of confused and frustrated. I only noticed it last week (I haven't used the soundlink mini in over a year) and it does strike me as peculiar that when the speaker shuts off that the computer then decides to start playing music.

I thought it was me going crazy and blaming my wife for doing something to make my macbook pro start playing music. I realized today that my bose soundlink mini triggers my itunes when it shuts off... and it is annoying... i like all kinds of music, and ABBA is the first album...therefore Dancing Queen starts blaring out of the speakers...lol if anyone knows how to fix this let me know...thanks!!!!!

I am also having this problem with a Klipsch and MacBook Pro. I was hoping the latest iTunes update might address the problem since it's clearly been going on for months, but it didn't.

I am also having the same problem with my Soundlink Mini! I thought I was going crazy, but it's a relief (unfortunately) to see others are having the same issue. The sound lag when streaming video is also very frustrating. Apple - can you please rectify this?

Yet another person who's been dealing with this bug. Very annoying.

This is getting increasingly annoying.

It usually takes turning my speaker off and on a few times now (which means I have to keep quitting itunes) before my bose can pick up any sound that is not coming from itunes.

Please fix this Apple!

Perhaps with one of your many updates. We don't need any new features, just fix what you break. Thank you.

If you disconnect from the Mac instead of the speaker, the music won't automatically play. That's a workaround for now...it seems to only happen if the disconnect comes from the speaker side.
