Why does iTunes open automatically on my computer?

iTunes just opens automatically and periodically on my computer. I quit it, then it opens again without my opening it. What do I need to change in settings to correct this?

iPad (3rd gen) Wi-Fi + Cellular, iOS 8.1.2, 64gig

Right click on iTunes in Dock and see if "Open at startup is checked"


See if a device is attached and "open iTunes when iPod is connected" is selected. https://discussions.apple.com/thread/1955511?answerId=16483979022#16483979022 and May 2016: https://discussions.apple.com/thread/7558993?answerId=30187456022#30187456022


Check for other iTunes preference settings that might cause this.
