Resolved question

iTunes keeps opening!!

by enjibenji89 - 10/29/11 4:07 AM

the other day I connected my housemates iPhone to my iTunes so he could quickly charge his phone.

His phone was locked to his own so it never properly connected. However, he has this feature on where it will open his own iTunes on his laptop. But now because his room is just above mine it opens mine to! It's getting rather annoying...

Could anyone advice me on how to stop this happening?

Thanks

if it is some sort of app that allows him to open, remotely, iTunes on his computer, get him to reconfigure it again.

is it possible to just uninstall iTunes and reinstall? Or does that lose all my music?

Yes, that's possible.

However, I would make a copy of the iTunes library before you do that

Right click and drag the entire iTunes library to another location on your HD.

When you release the mouse button, choose Copy.

Problem Identified...At least In My Case

In Reply to: iTunes keeps opening!! by enjibenji89

I am running a Windows 7 64bit computer with the latest iTunes version (10.6). The problem of perpetual opening of iTunes seems to be related to media keyboards. I have a Logitech G510 keyboard. A few iTunes versions ago, iTunes did not recognize media button inputs from my keyboard. Recent iTunes updates have corrected this, however the keyboard now puts iTunes into a "goofy loop" on closing. When I disable my keyboard profile iTunes stops the cycle.

Hope this helps

Removing (deselecting) the "Logitech Media Display" in the Logitech Gaming Software did the trick. I guess I will wait for a fix from Apple/Logitech.

Good find!
