Why does my computer play strange music at random times and how can I stop it?

why does my computer play strange music at random times and how can I stop it?  The music isn't anything on my machine and the only way I can switch it off is to reboot.  Can anyone advise me please.  It's driving me nuts ... I don't even like the music it's playing!

What apps are open and are you really still only on 10.5.1??????? At the very least please update your profile, also please remember to post more information. I suspect it's something going on with just your user account. You can verify that by creating another user account (call it TEST ACCOUNT) and log into that account and test. Once this has been verified then you will need to check which apps are running to determine what is causing your issue.

  • Why does the cursor keep going to the address bar and how can i stop it from doing that?

    For some reason after one of your updates, the cursor on the browser always goes to the address bar. It deletes the address and wants me to type in a search term. I have gone through the necessary changes that your support page suggested to turn that feature off, but it still does it.
    It is seriously irritating and inconvenient. How do I stop it from doing that. I am very close to not using Foxfire anymore as my default Browser. Please let me know how to fix this problem.

    For me at least, it's not a mouse setting.
    It started after an update a couple of months back and nothing I can do will change it. Tried running in safe mode, it does it, tried a reset, still does it. uninstalled, reinstalled, does it now too.
    It's infuriating!
    Currently running version 31.

  • Why does my computer freeze on Yahoo home page downloads and how do I shut off the Mozilla support page ?

    When I try to download an article on Yhaoo home page the download freezes the computer and I have to use the " control alt delete " keys to turn off the download and get the computer running again.
    How do I turn off the annoying and frustrating Mozilla Support page when booting up my computer? There ARE NO INSTRUCTIONS ON THE PAGE TELLING HOW TO DO THIS WWHHYYY NNOOTT !!!

    Update Your Firefox to latest version of Firefox 17.0.1
    '''Try the Firefox Safe Mode''' to see how it works there. The Safe Mode is a troubleshooting mode, which disables most add-ons.''
    ''(If you're not using it, switch to the Default theme.)''
    * You can open the Firefox 4.0+ Safe Mode by holding the '''Shift''' key when you use the Firefox desktop or Start menu shortcut.
    * Or use the Help menu item and click on the '''Restart with Add-ons Disabled...''' menu item while Firefox is running.
    ''Don't select anything right now, just use "'Start in Safe Mode"''
    ''To exit the Firefox Safe Mode, just close Firefox and wait a few seconds before using the Firefox shortcut (without the Shift key) to open it again.''
    '''''If it is good in the Firefox Safe Mode''''', your problem is probably caused by an extension, and you need to figure out which one.
    Please follow the [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]] article for that.
    ''When you figure out what's causing your issues, please let us know. It might help other users who have the same problem.''

  • Why does NOW function in Numbers supports only Pacific Time? How can I change it to my local time?

    When I insert the NOW () function in any cell while using Numbers, it inserts the cell with Date & Time. The problem is that it comes up with Pacific Time. It somehow doesnt support the local time zone. I have made sure that the time zone of my device is set right. Is there anything that can be done to change this?

  • Why does the soft keyboard pop up on my screen and how do I stop it?

    Older MacBook Pro running Lion.
    For reasons I don't understand, when I start typing after not using my MacBook Pro for several minutes, a soft representation of the keyboard pops up on the screen. I kill it and it goes away. But then appears again later.
    I switch between the MacBook's keyboard and a USB keyboard -- in case that is related.
    How can I get this to stop happening?

    After some trial and error (which I could not do over the weekend) it appear that the thing appears the first time I use either keyboard after using the other. Example:
    Use the native keyboard, all is ok
    Use the USB keyboard, get the popup
    Use the USB keyboard again later, all ok
    Use the native keyboard next, get the pop up
    This is a recent change. I have been using two keyboards like this for years. It didn't even start after my upgrade to Lion. I can't put my finger on what was going on when it started. If I could, I could probably figure out the cause. But I can't.
    I just want it to stop.

  • Why is my daughter getting my texts on her iPhone and how can I stop this?

    My daughter is receiving my complete texts to other iPhone users.  How can I stop this?

    You're welcome. I use the same Apple ID for iCloud for three devices here in the family for simplicity. To be honest, despite others recommending against it, it makes it easier for me to track the children's phones and we have not had any issues with messages or FaceTime. And, I can track all of the devices with a single sign-in of iCloud and can lock and erase any and all with one login.

  • Why does camera roll take up all my storage data and how do i get it free for space

    why does camera roll take up all my storage data and how do i get it free for space

    You might be able to re-enable it via this page : http://appleid.apple.com, then 'reset your password'
    You might then need to log out of your account on any iOS devices that you have  by tapping on your id in Settings > iTunes & App Store (Settings > Store on iOS 5 and below) and then log back in so as to 'refresh' the account on them
    If that doesn't fix it then you might need to contact iTunes Support : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/ - click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page

  • My apps on my iPod 4th generation keep closing out on me, why does it do that, and how can I stop it?

    My apps on my iPod 4th generation keep closing out on me, why does it do that, and how can I stop it?

    The above comment is not helpful to me, and I'm also guessing many people, but who knows. I've seen the same recommendation in many, many threads on this same topic, but only once have I seen that the resolution solved the problem for anyone, unless those people didn't follow up. Anyway,I found the below comment which made sense and may be the source of the issue. Too many apps running in the background - turn them off or simply do a hard reset to kill them all at once.

    Apparently, ios closes apps it can't (or thinks it can't) run because of too few RAM available. Double-press the home button and close any still running apps in the background. There are apps that serve to clear up some of your RAM. You will need to do this every once in a while, though.
    Clearing disk space will also help - remove any files you don't need/use and try to keep a clean disc in overall.

  • When I set my screen saver to iLibrary it defaults to national geographic,why and how can I stop it

    when I set my screen saver to iLibrary it defaults to national geographic,why and how can I stop it

    Back up all data. Quit System Preferences if it's running.
    Triple-click anywhere in the line below on this page to select it, then copy the text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C:
    ~/Library/Preferences/ByHost
    In the Finder, select
              Go ▹ Go to Folder...
    from the menu bar. Paste into the box that opens (command-V), then press return. A folder named "ByHost" should open. Look inside it for a file with a long name that begins "com.apple.screensaver". There may be several such files. Move them all to the Trash.
    Log out or restart the computer. Test. If the problem is resolved, empty the Trash and recreate your settings in the Screen Saver tab.

  • Better privecy does not work with windows vista home prem. what other program removes LSO'S AND HOW can I stop trackers?

    Question
    better privacy does not work with windows vista home prem. what other program removes LSO'S AND HOW can I stop trackers? edit
    Details

    As a temporary workaround, I believe this Adobe management page allows you to clear your "Flash cookies": [http://www.macromedia.com/support/documentation/en/flashplayer/help/settings_manager07.html Adobe - Flash Player : Settings Manager - Website Storage Settings panel] (hosted on macromedia.com -- Macromedia was the original developer of Flash).
    Regarding the script error, if I'm reading the script correctly, it is related to accessing your Flash cookies directory. It seems the publisher's support forum is not currently available for searching, but that might be a good next step.
    In the meantime, could you check whether the script has the correct location for your Flash cookies directory? If you can't access Tool > BetterPrivacy, you could check here:
    (1) In a new tab, type or paste '''about:config''' in the address bar and press Enter. Click the button promising to be careful.
    (2) In the filter box, type or paste '''bpr''' and pause while the list is filtered
    (3) There should be a bolded setting named '''extensions.bprivacy.DataDir''' which looks approximately like the following:
    C:\Users\''yourWindowsUsername''\AppData\Roaming\Macromedia
    Do you have a similar value? If you paste the path used by BetterPrivacy into a Windows Explorer window, does it open? Also, click a couple levels in the folder, can you see:
    Flash Player \ #SharedObjects
    If the value is wrong, right-click the wrong value and choose Reset. BetterPrivacy should update the value the next time you try to access it.
    If the value is blank, you could try inserting a sensible value and see whether that helps.
    Any luck?
