Automatically start iTunes on another account

Hi everyone,
I do have my main iTunes library on my admin account. I use my iTunes library mostly to output on AirPort Xpress and Apple TV in other room.
My kids and wife use the mac under different user account and I was wondering if it was possible to have my iTunes to start automatically whatever the user account in use when you start the computer.
Thanks,

I can't help, but I am having the exact same problem with Windows Vista. I have had Vista for the past year, and if I have both my account and my wifes account logged in, when I start itunes under my account it also tries to start on my wife's account with the message as previously stated. I have constantly been hoping for an update which would take care of this, but today I just installed 9.2, and I still have the same problem.
I have also tried many different things to fix the issue, including uninstalling and reinstalling,making sure I am using the 64 bit version of itunes (that is the version of Vista I have). Nothing works! Any solution would be greatly appreciated, as I am forced to log my wife off every time I want to use itunes.
I should also mention that itunes is the only application which has this problem.

  • Automatically start iTunes when iPhone is connected

    How do I change the setting on my iphone 4 to tell itunes to automatically start when the phone is connected?
    The option is greyed out.

    I had the same issue with Windows Vista. I would plug in my iphone after the new Itunes update and Windows would say "found new device" and try installing drivers. It would then report it failed. I looked under device manager and saw that it was listed as a camera device. I followed the steps found in the following url, and now my iphone is synching. I hope it works for you.

  • Automatically start iTunes playing

    I use my mac to automatically start up in the morning and have added iTunes to start up as well. Even though iTunes loads up it doesn't start playing. How can I get iTunes to start playing music as soon as it loads up?
    Rick

    There are several alarm clocks that will start iTunes playing. I use Meridian, but there are plenty of alternatives.
    You can also put a song or playlist in your Login Items to have iTunes automatically start up and play that song or playlist when you start or restart your Mac.

  • Automatically starting iTunes when connecting iPhone

    I have tried searching the community board but I haven't fouind an answer that fits my problem.
    I am running Win 7, iTunes 11.03.42 with a iPhone 4S.
    When I open iTunes, Preferences, there is no option to check that says open iTunes on connection.  I remember that from older versions of iTunes.
    What do I do to make iTunes start upon connection of my iPhone?
    Thanks, everyone

    Howdy Westslope,
    Here is an article outlining a preference that would prevent iTunes from opening automatically.
    iTunes 10 for Windows: Prevent unprompted syncing of your iPod, iPhone, or iPad
    http://support.apple.com/kb/PH1677
    To prevent unprompted syncing for a specific iPod, iPhone, or iPad:
    Connect your iPod, iPhone, or iPad to your computer.
    In iTunes, select your device (below Devices).
    Click Summary, and then deselect “Open iTunes when this Device is connected.”
    To prevent unprompted syncing for all iPod, iPhone, and iPad devices:
    In iTunes, choose Edit > Preferences.
    Click Devices.
    Select “Prevent iPods, iPhones, and iPads from syncing automatically.”If this checkbox is selected, any connected iPod, iPhone, or iPad won’t sync without being prompted.
    To sync your iPod, iPhone, or iPad when unprompted syncing is disabled, connect your iPod, iPhone, or iPad to your computer, and then choose File > Sync “Device Name” in iTunes, or click your device (below Devices) and then click Sync.
    In the second part of that snippet
    "Select “Prevent iPods, iPhones, and iPads from syncing automatically.”If this checkbox is selected, any connected iPod, iPhone, or iPad won’t sync without being prompted."
    It will also prevent iTunes from opening automatically.
    Cheers,
    Sterling

    i am trying to download video that i purchased from itunes, but everytime i want to resume the process after pausing it, it automatically start the whole downloading process again, how can i eliminate this problem?

    They don't normally appear in the download screen ... until I attempt to download another movie. Then they just start appearing. If you click edit - a normal movie download has a circle that appears on the left hand side that allows you to select and delete ... these movies don't have that option so you need to find the movie in you list (under movies) and select the download cloud symbol again to stop it downloading ...you may need to do this a number of times before it stops for a while ... or until you try to download a movie then it starts all over again.
    i have logged out of my itunes account. restarted the iPad, removed all movies, restarted the iPad, logged back into my iTunes account and restarted my iPad .... but as soon as I tried to download a single movies ... the other movies started appearing in the downloads again.

  • Can't stop applications automatically starting in user account

    I created accounts for each kid.
    Parental control is active, but no restrictions on which applications they can use; just website restrictions and time limits.
    Allowed them to modify the dock.
    Each time they log in various applications automatically start and removing them from the startup list does not seem to solve the problem, and one is not even on the list.
    The "re-open windows" check box is NOT selected when they log out and I watched them quit the applications before logging out.
    Example: for one account iTunes Helper always shows up on the startup list... I try to remove it in their account and it just pops back up... this appears to cause iTunes to autostart each time the log in... annoying.
    Example: same account, the System Preferences always start up... fortunately it is locked so the kid can modify anything. But again, annoying.
    I propagated read/write permissions through their account folders (thinking maybe some settings are not being recorded)... but no luck...
    I may just try to re-create their accounts but was hoping to find the answer to this most perplexing issue.
    Thanks,
    mk

    Aha! Even though they had permission to read/write their files, apparently the ownership was not theirs on all of the files, this must have restricted the mods to their account.
    Thanks for the "jog".
    Background:
    This permission state stemmed from a full re-build/re-store I did about a year ago when the hard drive crashed (with encrypted files in the my account, no less)... The backups were out of date (long story) and it took about a week to recover and re-assemble the sparsebundle bands from the broken drive (I only lost 12 pictures!... Disk Warrior really helped with that one!)... anyway I managed to install a new drive and re-stored all of the accounts, but apparently some of the library states had me as the owner... If I think long enough I probably remember how that happened.
    Again, thanks for "remembering" for me ;-)

  • Itunes won't load CDs automatically and I have to restart it everytime to load 1 CD. I have ensured I have latest Itunes, latest DVD driver, start itunes from program library in safe mode but nothing works. Any ideas ?

    Itunes won't load CDs automatically and I have to restart it everytime to load 1 CD. I have ensured I have latest Itunes, latest DVD driver, start itunes from program library in safe mode but nothing works. Any ideas ?

    I have had a similar problem with my system. I just recently (within a week of this post) built a brand new desktop. I installed Windows 7 64-bit Home and had a clean install, no problems. Using IE downloaded an anti-virus program, and then, because it was the latest version, downloaded and installed Firefox 4.0. As I began to search the internet for other programs to install after about maybe 10-15 minutes my computer crashes. Blank screen (yet monitor was still receiving a signal from computer) and completely frozen (couldn't even change the caps and num lock on keyboard). I thought I perhaps forgot to reboot after an update so I did a manual reboot and it started up fine.
    When ever I got on the internet (still using firefox) it would crash after anywhere between 5-15 minutes. Since I've had good experience with FF in the past I thought it must be either the drivers or a hardware problem. So in-between crashes I updated all the drivers. Still had the same problem. Took the computer to a friend who knows more about computers than I do, made sure all the drivers were updated, same problem. We thought that it might be a hardware problem (bad video card, chipset, overheating issues, etc.), but after my friend played around with my computer for a day he found that when he didn't start FF at all it worked fine, even after watching a movie, or going through a playlist on Youtube.
    At the time of this posting I'm going to try to uninstall FF 4.0 and download and install FF 3.6.16 which is currently on my laptop and works like a dream. Hopefully that will do the trick, because I love using FF and would hate to have to switch to another browser. Hopefully Mozilla will work out the kinks with FF 4 so I can continue to use it.
    I apologize for the lengthy post. Any feedback would be appreciated, but is not necessary. I will try and post back after I try FF 3.16.6.

  • Itunes says it is already associated with another account on ipad2 when i only have one account

    I am trying to get my ipad2 to download purchases previously made from itunes. If i go to settings store and slide the automatic downloads for music to on, it says that this device is associated with another account and cannot be changed for 90 days,  i only have one itunes account and these settings are saved underneath. Any ideas?

    I suspect you only migrated the media folder instead of the complete working library. Either review the transfer process and copy over the entire iTunes folder from your old profile's music folder or see Recovering your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device.

  • HT204406 My iPhone tells me that iTunes Match is associated with another account. But it works on my iPad and MacBook. It says I have to wait 90 days. Please Help!

    My iPhone wants me to wait 90 days before I can use it again with iTunes Match. It is telling me that it is associated with another account. This is not true. I have tried restarting, logging out of the store, syncing with my MacBook ((where iTunes Match works). There seems to be no tech support for iTunes Match . I have not been able to find anything except this forum.
    Thanks.

    First which version of iOS are you currently running on your ipad? If running iOS 5.1 or later you can upadate righ from ipad using wifi.
    You should use the same computer that you normally sync to (itunes, by default, will not let you sync to more than one itunes libray)
    If not, you can turn off auto syncing.
    Without the ipad connected to the computer, go to itunes preferences/devices and check the box at the bottom to prevvent ipads, iphones and ipads from syncing automatically.
    Then reconnect ipad to computer.
