This evening my parallels installation (OSX Snow Leopard host, WinXP guest) started launching iTunes repeatedly. If I exit or force close iTunes it relaunches immediately. Task manager tells me prl_cc.exe is the parent which is launching iTunes, and if I suspend that task the iTunes launches stop. I've tried reinstalling Parallels Tools and upgrading iTunes but it hasn't made a difference. This behavior started after I connected an iPad to my Mac for the first time. However, when the USB chooser came up I chose to have the device permanently directed to the OSX host, not the guest. I also tried removing the iPad from the USB device list, but the problem persists. Any ideas?
More data In case this helps, in the logfile I found the following repeated many times: 04-05 00:45:29.906 I SGAC /gui:448:207/ Helper with psn={0, 2097664} not running anymore 04-05 00:45:29.906 I SGAC /gui:448:207/ Found registered Vm with name="Microsoft Windows XP" for vmUuid="{xxxxxx-f92f-42cc-b549-199ac683f9ff}" (vmWrap=0x107ee0370) 04-05 00:45:29.908 I SGAC /gui:448:207/ Helper with psn={0, 2097664} not running anymore 04-05 00:45:29.909 D SGAC /gui:448:207/ Helper bundle "/Users/Bill/Applications (Parallels)/{xxxxxx-f92f-42cc-b549-199ac683f9ff} Applications.localized/iTunes.app" versionStatus=0: helperVmUuid="{xxxxxx-f92f-42cc-b549-199ac683f9ff}", currentVmUuid="{xxxxxx-f92f-42cc-b549-199ac683f9ff}", helperVersion="9.1", currentVersion="9.1" 04-05 00:45:29.913 D SGAC /gui:448:207/ bringAppToFront(app=0x0) Suggestions?
