When I start up my iMac, iTunes automatically loads. How can I stop this?

Thanks - Dave

If it's loading because you have an iPod connected, either disconnect it
or set iTunes not to open automatically when it's connect.

If you don't have an iPod connect, deleted iTunes from your Login Items
in Accounts.

Under the Apple menu:

Choose System Preferences

Click on the Accounts icon (fourth row, usually the first icon)

Click on the Login Items tab

Locate the item or items you don't want to launch automatically in the
list. Click on the line to highlight it, then click the "minus" button
below the list.

There is also a checkbox there in the "Hide" column. That lets you
launch an application when you log in, but leaving it hidden until you
activate it. This might be useful on some occasions, and there are
probably a few automatically installed items there already which have
that option selected.

In particular, a common one is "iTunes Helper". You should probably
leave that in the list of login items. I don't know exactly what it
does, but it is probably involed in automatically launching iTunes when
you insert an audio CD or connect an iPod, which are both reasonable
things to have happen.

Click and hold down the mousebutton on the iTunes symbol in the dock and
move the arrow to 'Launch at startup' and release the button. - this
will remove the mark that launches iTunes at startup...

cheers, Erik Richard

It's marked "open at login" here, but otherwise this should do it.
Thanks, I hadn't noticed that option before.
