iTunes Pausing/Playing/Opening/Switching randomly??

[Jakesta42]

Hey all,

Possibly an issue with the F8 play/pause button, but not sure. At first I thought the issue was just with [COLOR=blue !important][FONT=inherit !important][COLOR=blue !important][FONT=inherit !important]iTunes[/FONT][/FONT][/COLOR], because it would open randomly and play and when it was playing it would stop, switch songs, etc.

I blamed it on iTunes, and reinstalled (multiple times), but still no luck. Then I tried using other media players such as QuickTime [/COLOR] [COLOR=blue !important][FONT=inherit !important][COLOR=blue !important][FONT=inherit !important]Player[/FONT][/FONT][/COLOR], which actually have the same issue now. When I play a song on QuickTime, it will randomly pause and play. I've also checked that there are no Apple remotes nearby, and disabled the ability for the remotes to interact with the computer.

I've deleted the preference settings for iTunes, restarted, reinstalled, but still no luck with anything. Any ideas?[/COLOR]

Thanks,

Jake

I'm having the exact same problem on a late 2008 macbook. My first impulse was to blame the button also (this is the one command that has the power to launch/pause/play). recent upgrade to snow leopard. Seems to happen only when headphones are plugged in?? was on some sketchy porn site when it first started happening, maybe it's spyware 0_0;.
