What Does iTunesHelper.exe Do and How to Get By Without It

How to Remove iTunesHelper from the Auto-Launch List

1. Click on the Apple logo in the upper-left corner of your screen and select System Preferences. It will take you to your Mac’s settings panel.

2. When the preferences panel opens, click on the option that says Users & Groups. All the users and groups related settings are located there and also the auto-launch list is there.

3. When the users panel opens, click on your account name in the left-panel and it will be selected. Then, click on the Login Items tab in the right panel and it will show you all of the apps that launch when your Mac boots-up.

4. On the login items page, you will see a list of the apps that are allowed to launch at the boot time. What you need to do here is find the app named iTunesHelper and click on it to select it. Then, click on the - (minus) sign in the bottom to remove the app from the list.

5. The app should now be removed from the list. This means it will no longer launch when your Mac reboots and you will avoid any errors that are caused by it.

The above solution should have fixed your issue.
