Step 1
Go to "System Preferences" and select the "Accounts" icon. In the resulting window, click on the "Startup Items" tab and see if "iTunes Helper" is listed as an auto-startup item. If so, highlight it, click "Remove" and restart your Mac. Failure to check for this item will result in the inability to remove the application and may cause additional problems (at the very least, additional frustration on your part).
-
Step 2
Locate the iTunes application. Unless you moved it, it will be in the "Applications" folder, but if you need to, invoke the "Find" command from the "File" menu (while at the "Finder") or press Cmd-F on the keyboard and locate it that way.
-
Step 3
Drag the iTunes application to the "Trash," right-click (Control-click) and choose "Move to Trash" or highlight and press Cmd-Delete on the keyboard.
-
Step 4
Go to the "Music" folder, select the "iTunes Music" folder inside it and delete it with your preferred method (see preceding step) if you wish to delete all of your music tracks and videos that iTunes has stored.

Step 5
Consult the Apple support page (see Resources below) should you encounter unforeseen problems of any kind while working with iTunes.
