How To: Stop iTunes From Automatically Opening From Websites In Chrome [Mac Tip]

Is iTunes automatically opening when you go to certain webpages in Google Chrome? This may because of an option you chose when this first happened. You may of check an option from a pop-up, to auto-open iTunes when you visited certain  websites - like the iTunes Preview webpages.

This option can be reversed! But not as easy as you probably would of liked. It is a little advanced for the basic user, but if you follow the steps right, you should be fine.


How To Stop Google Chrome From Auto Opening iTunes (Mac Tip):

1. The first thing you'll need to do is quit Google Chrome. So it may be a good idea to copy down the instructions, or open this page in a different web browser.

2. From your Desktop home screen, click "Go" in the Menubar.

3. Then hold down the "Option" key. "Library" will appear in the list. Click "Library". Then you can let go of the "Option" key.

4. Next open the folder "Application Support", then "Google", then "Chrome".

5. Find the file called "Local State", and open in Text Editor. You can do this by 'Control-Clicking' (right click) the file and selecting "Open With" - then "Text Editor".  

6. Find the line with "itms" it will probably say "false" / or "true" after it. (Quick way to find the term: press 'command+f' and enter the term).

7. Delete that whole line. (example; " itms: false, ")

8. Close the files / folders. Now next time, instead of iTunes opening automatically, you'll be prompted with a "External Protocol Request". You can choose to open the application - or say "Do Nothing".
