iTunes randomly opening and playing media

Yes, I have forced shutdown after the standard shut down and restart. No change. PRAM cleared as well. iTunes is now on all the time. It opens every time one second after I close it. I think my next choice is to delete the software and possibly reinstall.

Thanks for replying.

Thank you. I appreciate all your help.

It has closed after my last hard shutdown and has not opened randomly for a couple of hours. Fingers crossed.

If it happens again I will delete and reinstall.

Thanks again

Hi,

An update. After 4 hours of serenity and my iTunes not opening until late in the day, it now will not close for more than one second. As far as installing a new iTunes, I get this message from the OS : “iTunes.app” can’t be modified or deleted because it’s required by macOS."

So I downloaded the latest version from Apple and can't install unless iTunes is closed. Well, with my fingers on the command+Q keys I was able to keep the program at bay long enough to click the install button on the install software.

Installed, however, the problem remains.

I don't know what to do. My iTunes is now part of my desktop now.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

It looks as though this could be the fix!

Two restarts just to make sure. Not opening randomly anymore today. Nice catch on the user & Groups settings.

Thanks
