Hi Jude

It was me :-)

I actually did check all the places mentioned and thats why I was shaking
my head while it was happening. A bit creepy ;-)
It was weirder when it *stopped* happening.

Do you have any iTunes related Widget running, ("iTunes" and  
"iTunes Artwork")

 if so disable them and watch if the problem disappears.
.
Are you actually "quitting" iTunes by going to the iTunes Menu >  
Quit iTunes or by the keyboard (Command+Q)?


Thanks for your quick reply.  I've got the "Harmony" widget, which  
automatically downloads lyrics to the currently playing song in  
iTunes, and the iTunes widget, currently running.  I'll try removing  
those and see if that helps.  It's probably one of those that's  
causing the problems.


I'm definitely quitting out of iTunes, using Command-Q, and verifying  
that the little triangle under the app on the dock has gone away.


Thanks for your help,
Paul.

Did you hear about the cowboy who got himself a dachshund?  Everyone  
kept telling him to get a long, little doggie.

Hi Paul

We had something similar a little while ago.
iTunes would start up at login.
There was nothing set to do this, believe me I checked!

I gave up as it seemed harmless, not long afterwards it ceased its  
odd behavior.


Hi Paul,

Did you check your Login Items in System Preferences/Accounts for any  
iTunes related?


Cheers,
Ronni

Hmmm I did a mac training session to do with Preferences where the lecturer
edited the preferences to make TextEdit keep opening automatically every
time you closed it.

Have you tried trashing/renaming the pref file?

A couple of things you could check.

Artwork")

Or are you just clicking on the red button at the top of the program  
window, which actually does not quit the program. (The program is  
still open if you see a small rectangle symbol under the icon in the  
dock.)

Ronni

I don't believe for a second that weight lifting is a sport.  They  
pick up a heavy thing and put it down again.  I call that indecision.
