Why does iTunes respawn when I try to quit it or log out?
Due to a shortcoming of Mac OS X, Synergy versions up to 0.9.2 could cause iTunes to automatically respawn when trying to quit iTunes or log out. This would occur on average from 5 to 15% of the time. This problem is completely remedied in Synergy version 0.9.3 and higher. If you continue to see unwanted respawns after upgrading to version 0.9.3 or above, then the likely cause is another iTunes accessory running on your computer. (Such accessories might include applications or AppleScripts designed to control iTunes or obtain information from it, album cover downloaders, or menu bar additions.) If you see these unwanted respawns then you are advised isolate the accessory causing the problem and contact the author of that accessory directly. If you are the author of such an accessory, you are welcome to contact me for advice on a workaround for the problem. [Back to top…
