prevent Music app from launching - Fritz - 08-26-2023 since I found my way back to a functioning iTunes under Monty, I'd like Music to stop randomly launching. It's not listed on log-in items. But every now in then it launches. Haven't figured out what causes this. Anyone have a Terminal command to keep it down? Re: prevent Music app from launching - hal - 08-26-2023 no doubt, it wants you to log in to your icloud account so you can sign up for some kinda of paying service. I can't imagine your effort to replace music with itunes is gonna work. Apple will fight you all the way. Re: prevent Music app from launching - Fritz - 08-26-2023 so far, other than this issue, NP Re: prevent Music app from launching - davemchine - 08-26-2023 The best solution would be to find out why it is launching and stop whatever it is BUT failing that you could setup a crontab line such as: * * * * * killall Music if you haven't used crontab it is very simple. Just enter "crontab -e" at the command line, press lowercase "I" to insert, paste in that line, then press esc on the keyboard followed by ":wq" and Bob's your uncle. I do agree with Hal that your solution of running iTunes on a more modern OS could be problematic but if it works...it works. iTunes is certainly the more capable program and if I could go backwards I would do it. Re: prevent Music app from launching - Fritz - 08-26-2023 I'll keep looking Re: prevent Music app from launching - Tiangou - 08-26-2023 Got a phone connected to your Mac (charging or syncing) when it launches? Any chance you're accidentally hitting the play/pause/forward/back function keys on your keyboard? Re: prevent Music app from launching - Fritz - 08-26-2023 no phone connect. hitting the play/pause/forward/back function keys are working w/iTunes and not launching Music.
