iTunes won't stay quit!

[Pbro]

Hi everyone,

I have an early 2008 Macbook Pro, and am currently running OSX Lion (however, this problem randomly began while I was still running Snow Leopard). My problem is that iTunes just won't stay closed after I quit the program. I've tried quit, force quit, and "killall iTunes" in Terminal. Thirty seconds later, after I do either of those things, it reopens.

This random reopening of iTunes is preventing my Macbook from going to sleep. There's obviously something running in the background that I can't get rid of. And when i do, iTunes will wake the computer from sleep too.

Also, I don't have any iTunes widgets or anything.

Has this happened to anyone?

Thanks,

Pbro

How about a screenshot of all processes running in Activity Monitor? It may help us narrow it down.

Sorry, these guys were talking about a widget that was the culprit. i don't have any widgets installed.

Here's what's running when iTunes isn't operational. i'll try and repost when iTunes randomly opens again.

I just took a look at your activity monitor picture. You have "my processes" selected. Your machine is running a lot more processes and the problem could be one of them. To see all process that are running, select "all processes" in the little button box.

i had to take two screen shots to cover it all. iTunes randomly opened as i was trying to capture the screenshots.
