[QUOTE="Rod, post: 1843841, member: 204485"] It's possible that iTunes Helper is responsible for this but there is no easy way to disable this without loosing other valuable functions. Does iTunes do the same thing when you plug in your iPhone (assuming you have one)? There is a setting tick box on the first page of the iTunes sync window that says something like Launch iTunes When iPhone is connected, this is usually "on" by default but you could try unticking that box, I always did. It will mean you will have to launch iTunes manually for backup and sync but if it solves the problem it would be well worth it. Let us know if that works. I cannot test it myself as I am on a later macOS and all my headphones are bluetooth. [/QUOTE]
