iTunes is always popping up on my HTPC Mac Mini and I don't use it. It is running Snow Leopard if that makes any difference to the solution

Slow Leopard? Sounds like you have an opinion about Apple's new OS. – ephilip Dec 28 '09 at 20:29

Of course, check out the Apple support article, Removing iTunes for Mac OS X .

iTunes, doesn't "just pop" up. It has to be started.

1) Check in the Dock, right click on the iTunes icon, is "Open at Login" checked? 2) Do you have an iPod, iPod Touch, or iPhone? If so, when the device is connected, go into iTunes. Click on it in the sources list, and uncheck the "automatically sync when connected".

Those are the options that I can think of off the top of my head... But iTunes should not be starting without a reason.

Oh, it'll also start up if you have it set to automatically download track information for CDs / DVDs from the internet.... When you insert the discs...

But I think that's it.

Could have been DVDs left in the drive. Also it started up when charging an iPod. I sync the iPod with a different machine but we tend to charge things off the htpc because it is always on – Paul Lockwood Dec 28 '09 at 23:51
If you are charging an iPod/iPhone/etc, just turn off the "Automatically sync when connected" in iTunes for that particular iPod... That would prevent it from starting up when you plug in the iPhone/iPod. – Benjamin Schollnick Dec 29 '09 at 3:17
uninstalling worked even better :) – Paul Lockwood Dec 30 '09 at 1:46
