The thing is, I don’t really use it. I mean, I don’t have an iPhone, iPad, iWhatever…
But… What really took me to do this was: iTunes.app was insisting on launching when hitting the “play” key. Sometimes it would even launch when I plug the headphones in.
So…
Log in using an account with administrator privilegies.
Open “Terminal.app”.
Type: sudo rm -rf /Applications/iTunes.app/
PS: Careful with “rm -rf” commands. It deletes pretty much everything you call it to do. It even ignores the trash bin.
You can also set up SoftwareUpdate to ignore offering to download iTunes again. (Yeah. It will do it every single new update… )
For that you’ll need to:
Open “Terminal.app”.
Type: sudo softwareupdate –ignore iTunesX
If you need to install it again in the future, remember to reset ignore settings:
- Type: sudo softwareupdate –reset-ignored
Feel free to interact, correct something, etc. :)
