Anonymous people are playing around with my iTunes. How to stop? Help?

okay since 6 hours ago some creepy people are playing around with my iTunes. I believe its people who live around my building. I have my iTunes on and this anonymous person is playing controlling my library by changing the songs to the ones that the like. I don't know if this has anything to do with iPod or iPhone remote applications. Shouldn't they ask for passwords if they want to get into my library? But it's not!
I do turn on "Share Library" but I tried something: Usually when you press the red exit X, shouldnt they say "Some other users are on your library, are you sure you want to quit?" But it doesnt ask that.
I am on wireless and when I turn off my wireless it doesn't happen. Nobody disturbs my library. I recorded some "Quit doing it" audios and put it into my library but they're still doing it.
I don't know if it's a virus (I need to get a new antivirus). I dont think it's virus though because it also happened to my sister's laptop. She closed her iTunes so the anonymous wont bother anymore. They're still doing it right now to my laptop!!!
I asked this question on Yahoo! Answers and a person said something about my wireless getting hacked. What should I do????
How do I make this stop??? HELP PLEASE!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Please give me step by step instruction because I fail at fixing my computer.

Anyone hacking your wireless would just obtain access to your Internet connection, not to your computer.
If someone is actually changing your library, then they almost certainly have access to your computer itself. The Sharing built into iTunes only allows someone to play your shared playlists; other users have no ability to make any changes. It's possible that someone is connecting via iPhone Remote; go into the iTunes -> Devices preference and click the "forget all remotes" button. If someone managed to connect Remote, that should cut them off.
Otherwise, it's probably not an iTunes problem as such but rather that someone's hacked into your computer. I can't give you step-by-step instructions since there are many possibilities as to how someone might have obtained access to your system. But I'd suggest you start by making sure that you don't have Windows file sharing turned on; if you do turn it off for all shared volumes/folders. The same would apply to Windows remote desktop; you want to make sure that's turned off.
If none of that helps, you'll probably need to take this problem up on a web site oriented to Windows support since it's, as I said, most probable that someone is hacking into your computer.
Good luck.

    Hello victoriak13,
    Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
    Please see the support article below to learn more about iTunes Store movie rentals.  You can not move the rental from one computer to the other, but can sync it with an iOS device.
    Watch your movie on the device you used to rent it. If you rented the movie on your computer, you can move it to an iOS device or Apple TV (1st generation). To do this, connect the devices and sync using USB. When you move a rented movie from your computer, it will disappear from your computer’s iTunes library. You can move the movie between devices as much as you want, but you can only have it on one device at a time.

  • When I play songs on my itunes account, they stop after about one minute and itunes goes to the next one.  how do I fix this? These are songs in entire albums that I have purchased.

    when I play songs on my itunes account, they stop after about one minute and itunes goes on to the next song.  This is happening with songs on albums I have purchased direclty through itunes

    Assuming you are in a region where you are allowed to redownload your past music purchases, delete the broken files from your iTunes library, go to the iTunes Store home page, click on the Purchased link from the Quick Links section in the right-hand column, then select Music and Not on this computer. You should find download links for your tracks there.
    If you don't see them straight away it may help to close and restart iTunes.
    While downloading select Downloads in the left-hand column and make sure Allow Simultaneous Downloads is unticked.
    If the problem persists, or that facility is not yet available in your region, contact the iTunes Store support staff through the report a problem links in your account history, or via Contact Support.

  • My charter webmail will NOT load after playing around with add-ons. FREAKING OUT!

    My entire charter webmail page is GREY & BLANK! I don't know what I did but I was playing around with add-ons including AD Block, etc. I have removed anything I added but it is still GREY & BLANK. I can NOT get into my mail. HELP!!!

    I don't think it's your network ...
    Try this...
    From the Safari menu bar top of your screen click Safari > Preferences then select the Privacy tab.
    Click:  Remove All Website Data
    Quit then relaunch Safari to test. If it was a cookies issue, that may help.
    And in case you aren't aware, when you have trouble with sites loading, trying emptying the Safari cache.
    Back to the menu bar, click Safari > Empty Cache
    Or Command + Option + E on your keyboard.
    As for Peer Guardian. Best to avoid third party firewall blockers.
    Your Firewall settings are located in System Preferences > Security & Privacy > Firewall
    Very important to keep your system software up to date. Back to System Preferences > Software Update > Scheduled Check
    Select:  Check for updates.  Best to select Daily from the pop up menu. Then select:  Download updates automatically.
    You'll see a dialog box on the Desktop when there are updates available to be installed.

  • Playing around with cfschedule, getting a time limit error - even with requesttimeout

    Hello, everyone.
    This isn't critical, I'm just playing around with the cfschedule tag.  But it's still annoying to get a time limit error, even with the requesttimeout attribute set to 10800.
    <cfschedule action="run" task="Collection_Daily_I" requesttimeout="10800">
    Less than one minute after loading the page, I get:
    The request has exceeded the allowable time limit Tag: cfhttp
    ^_^

    I tried something else here. I noticed that on the last circuit you posted you had a resistor tied from ground to the clock line in addition to the one tied back to VCC. This would be R4 in the origianl schematic. I also noticed that in this circuit I saw no double tripping of the clock signal but it did have a sloping rising edge. I am assuming this is what you are refering to as being dirty. Not a clean square wave by any means.
    I removed this extra resistor from the clock line and re-added the inverter and this seemed to clean up this slope. I do, not know what  purpose you may have had for this resistor but I believe that to be causing the sloping edge. I was incorrect about the inverter. I just know that in the original configuration I didin't get the double clocking when it was removed, but I failed to notice the sloping of the edge of the signal. Now with this new information I hope this will get it the way you want it.
    I will repost the circuit with my modifications. Let me know what you think. Just so you will know I am using asll default settings with the exception of the digital setting which is set to REAL.

  • How do I set up family sharing if all my family members emails are already associated with my iTunes account?

    I want to set up family sharing but it won't let me because all the emails are already associated with the one iTunes account we have.  I am afraid to delete because my children use that email address for text messaging.  How do I set up family sharing if all my family members emails are already associated with my iTunes account?

    Hey Wendaroski,
    I am not quite sure what you mean by "my family members emails are already associated with my iTunes account" but what you need for each family member is an Apple ID. Yours would be the one for your iTunes account.
    If the other members of the family already have an Apple ID you can invite them to join the family group. If not they will need to create one, using their email address. This article shows how -

    Is there a way to re set Lightroom to original settings, I have been playing around with it and got to a place I don't know how to get out of. Not very computer savvy

    To begin, quit Lightroom
    On Windows do the following
    Click the Windows start button and in the search box type:-
    %appdata%\adobe\lightroom
    Then press the Return\Enter key
    That will take you to the Lightroom folder (see image below)
    Select the Preferences folder and hit delete to send it to the recycle bin.
    Close the Lightroom folder and re-start the Lightroom program.

    Yes. I have no personal experience with this, but it is possible to recover your music from an iPod. See this link: http://guides.macrumors.com/Recovering_Songs_from_an_iPod

  • I have some music from CDs and recent purchases from iTunes on my iPhone 4 that are not synced with my iTunes account on my computer.  How can I sync my phone and iTunes on my computer without losing what is on my iPhone?  (original computer was stolen)

    I have some music from CDs and recent purchases from iTunes on my iPhone 4 that I would like to sync with my iTunes account on my computer.  The CDs were on my original laptap also, but it was stolen and I set up the iTunes on my new computer.
    When I try to sync I get a message indicating that the iPhone iTunes will be replaced with the computer iTunes.
    How can I sync and retain both iTunes?

    Music is designed to sync in one way only, and that is from iTunes to the phone. There is the expectation that you would backup the computer to save this data. There are 3rd party solutions to try and recover music from the phone to put back into a blank iTunes library.

    Silly me. I was playing around on the settings portion of my I-Pad2, when I found the international keyboard section. I reset the keyboard to Russian to see what it would look like.  Now, the keyboard is in Russian, and so are all the settings elements.  I can't see how to get it all back into English.  Help,

    If you're using Lion, you can resize by dragging from any corner, in Leopard and lower it can only be resized from the bottom right hand corner.
