Can I disable iTunes??

When I load a sound effects CD with 90 or 100 short tracks, it can take up to 10 minutes to load, sometimes longer. I get the impression that every track is being imported into iTunes. I just want/need to play a few tracks for a client sitting here watching the clock with both of us wondering what the heck is going on. Is there a way to bypass iTunes and just play CDs quickly.

iTunes > Prefrences... > General
Make sure Show CD is selected. Uncheck Automatically retrieve CD track names from internet

iTunes app on the iPhone is for purchasing music.
The fact the iPhone starts playing when connected to your car stereo is a function of your car bluetooth system.
Consult your car dealer/bluetooth system manual.
I have attempted to delete all music from the device (so there would be nothing to play), but 1 song remains in the iphone memory and I have been unable to delete that song.
Connect the iPhone to computer and select it in iTunes.
Click the Music tab and uncheck Sync music.
Then click Apply at lower right of iTunes.

HT4914 How can I disable iTunes Match?

I recently subscribed to iTunes Match not realizing that I'd lose the ability to manage my music on my devices. Downloading to my iPhone over 3G is painful so I'd like to disable iTunes Match for my iPhone for starters and I will more than likely do the same for my other Apple devices.

How can i disable iTunes match on my new iPod?

I want all my music locally stored on my new iPod touch. I want this so that I do not have to rely on wifi to have access to my music, and so that sonos will work with it.

Greetings kkdawg,
Thanks for contributing to the Apple Support Communities.
Congratulations on your new iPod touch. If you want all of your music stored locally on this device, first turn off iTunes Match by tapping Settings > Music and then the iTunes Match on/off switch.
This should allow you to sync music to your iPod touch from iTunes on a computer, as mentioned here:
iTunes Match on iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch - Apple Support
Syncing music with iTunes will be disabled while iTunes Match is enabled on your iOS device.
You can find detailed instructions for syncing music to your iPod touch in this article:
Sync your iPhone, iPad and iPod with iTunes using USB - Apple Support
Sincerely,
Jeremy

Can I disable iTunes Radio?

Is there any way to completely restrict access to iTunes Radio on iOS 7? I turned off Account changes in Restrictions but iTunes Radio still allows my child to sign in with an Apple ID. In fact, it even allows him to create a new Apple ID. With iOS 6, there was no way to sign into an Apple ID account if Account changes were restricted.
Is there any way to contact Apple and request this to be fixed in an upcoming update?

TO disable the itunes radio on my kids devices i had to go
1. Sign out of the Itunes&App store in Settings
2. Select Dont Allow Changes for Accounts (Settings, General, Restriction, Accounts)
It seems to have solved the problem for now. Good luck

Launch apps one at a time and disable iTunes at startup

Hey guys
I have two questions:
The first one is, is there any way to launch apps at Login but one after the other and not all at the same time? For instance, I would like to launch Adobe Ps, then Ai after Ps loaded, then Mail, and then others. Is this possible?
The second one is, how can I disable iTunes from launching at Login? I've checked my Starup Items and iTunes is not on the list. Also, I've right clicked the icon in the Dock and "Open at Login" is disable as well but it keeps launching every single time I start up my computer.
Any helps is much appreciated.

In my case, I do need to launch Adobe Ps, Ai and Br, Mail, iChat, Safari, Pages and Cinema 4D every single day for work. Almost everything opens up fast, but like you said, Adobe apps take a lot of memory so they take longer to open. I really hate waiting for these to open up, so I'm looking for a way to make them launch one at a time as soon as I get into the office while I take care of some paper work.
In that case I don't think you need to put in a delay in between the apps to make sure the next only opens after the earlier is finished. I open 5 apps every morning with no delay in between and it always goes smoothly and very fast. Try that first then you can go back and edit the workflow to add the pauses in if you need it.
Is Automator user friendly? I've never used it before. Is it very easy to understand and setup?
It's very user friendly. I've only made about 3 apps (each workflow can be saved as it's own application), the launching multiple application being the last one and it was very easy, took about 5 minutes to create. Of course, someone on here had told me how to do it so that made it very easy.
Unfortunately, I haven't upgraded to Leopard yet and it looks like the interface is very different from Tiger. In Tiger when you open Automator it gives you a list of applications on the left, click on one to select and it will then give you a list of actions available for that application just to the right of that. Double click on the action and it adds it in as your workflow in a large space on the right.
In this case the app I chose was Finder, then Launch Application action. When that is added to the workflow I then had a popup menu of all my apps in my Applications folder so I would just choose the one I wanted. There is even an Other at the bottom to choose an app from elsewhere in case you have any outside the main Applications folder.
To add the pause select Automator from the left hand list of apps and you get a new list of actions, double click on Wait For User Action, which it will put right under the app you are launching as the next step. You can then set the time for how long you want it to wait.
Then go back to Finder and Launch Application and repeat the process for each app you want to open. All the actions in the workflow can be dragged around as much as you want to create a different order.
Very simple. Leopard's interface works differently but I suspect you still need to choose Finder to get to Launch Application and Automator to get to Wait For User Action. Each app has it's own set of actions it can perform but they can all be added together for a workflow.
Then save it as an app and put it on your desktop, or where ever you want, so you can double click to run it then walk away until it's done. Even after saving it you can go back in and edit it at any time, if you wanted to take an app out or add one in, for instance, or want a shorter or longer pause time, etc.

How do I disable iTunes for a single user?

I recently purchased an iPhone and installed iTunes on my Windows Vista computer. It looks like iTunes was installed for all users. I typically have 2 windows user accounts active during the day. When I plug in my iPhone (with the included usb cable) iTunes tries to start for both users. One will succeed and I will constantly get error messages from the other until I unplug my iPhone. I always want my primary user account to start iTunes and connect to my iPhone when I plug it in and never want my secondary user to start iTunes or connect to my iPhone. Is there a way that I can just disable iTunes for my secondary user?

Chris,
Thanks for your reply. Where is this option available? I have checked all the tabs that show up when I select iPhone. I have checked all the menu items (including edit-preferences) and I have also right clicked on iPhone. I don't see an item anywhere that will let me control this.
I am using iPhone 2.2.1 and iTunes 8.1, there are no updates available.
thanks again,
Jason

Can I disable an Ipod from ITunes/Other Questions

Hi all! I am new to this forum and to using IPods/ITunes, so I am still trying to learn as much as I can about them. I made the mistake of getting my very irresponsible young teenage son an IPod (Gen 3) Touch. I have asked him several times to hand the device over to me so I can review the browser’s history (I am not even sure if that is possible, but I was going to try). I am I have major concerns regarding the websites he may be visiting. I am not trying to violate his privacy, but if it was a problem showing me the device - why won’t he hand it over - so that raised some major red flags.
So...my questions are:
Can I disable the device from ITunes? Or can I just delete the device from my ITunes Account? Would he still be able to use it?
I think I found a place on ITune where there was a place I could pick what parental controls that I wanted, I set those up - but I found this feature after he started hiding the device? Can this feature still work remotely without syncing?
Is there a way to view the browsing and internet history on the device (even if he would delete it)?
I am not sure if this would make a difference or not to answer my question, but when I had to set up the ITunes account, I did have to provide credit card information to start the account.
I do have my daughter’s new IPod (Gen 4) Touch also linked to the same ITunes account.
One more thought...can I just delete the ITunes account totally and start a new one for my daughter? Would this disable his device?
Again, I am very new to using an IPod. I can get around using them (and selecting the correct features) with a little direction though.
Thanks for your help and advice in advance it is very very appreciated!

Can I disable the device from ITunes?
Not without being able to connect the iPod to the computer, no.
Or can I just delete the device from my ITunes Account? Would he still be able to use it?
See above.
I think I found a place on ITune where there was a place I could pick what parental controls that I wanted, I set those up - but I found this feature after he started hiding the device? Can this feature still work remotely without syncing?
The parental controls feature in iTunes only works for iTunes, not for a portable device. There are similar restrictions on the iPod, but those can only be set on the iPod itself.
Is there a way to view the browsing and internet history on the device (even if he would delete it)?
No, sorry, if he clears the history, there's no way to view it.
can I just delete the ITunes account totally and start a new one for my daughter?
You can start a new one, but that won't affect any existing accounts. You can change the password on the iTunes Store account he's been using. That would block him from being able to purchase any new content through that account. But you can't stop him from opening up a new iTunes Store account by using a prepaid iTunes card, available from almost any grocery store.
Would this disable his device?
No.
Without being able to have the iPod in your hands, the only way you can affect it would be if you had set up the Find My iPod feature before giving the iPod to your son. If you had, you could then lock the iPod or wipe the data on it. Otherwise, there's nothing you can do until he gives you his iPod, at which time you could set up the Restrictions and, if you wish, download a web browser that allows you to set site restrictions and force him to use that browser.
Regards.

Welcome to the Apple Community.
You cannot disable your phone using iTunes.
You can only locate, lock or erase your device when it is logged into iCloud and 'Find My Phone' is enabled, additionally the device will need to be switched on and connected to a wifi or cellular network.
Unfortunately, you cannot activate iCloud or 'Find My Phone' remotely.

Can I disable auto-sync on Shuffel iTunes 7.3 Vista OS

It seems odd that everytime I make a change to a single song on my iPod, iTunes performs a sync.
For example, I want to uncheck several songs loaded on my shuffel, but iTunes performs a sync after each time I de-select a check-box.
Can I disable automatic syncing after each change to a song or podcast on my shuffel?
Thanks
-Tom

As long as your shuffle is connected and showing up in iTunes, that's the way it works...

HT5824 why does my ipad say user name disabled, but on all other devices i can pog into itunes and icloud using my user name

why does my ipad say user name disabled but i can use my user name to log into itunes and icloud on other devices

At this time there is no "solution." You'll simply have to wait the 90 days to re-enable iTunes Match.
For now here is my suggestion. In your User Account, in OS X, sign out of whatever iTunes Store account you are signed in with. Then sign in with your store account and leave it at that. Now sign out of your OS X User Account, sign into your wife's OS X User Account and sign into the iTunes Store with her Apple ID (if necessary sign out of the account first).
Now, you can go back to your OS X User Account and attempt to enable iTunes Match. You will probably get the "wait 90 days" message. If so leave it, mark your calendar, and wait for the 90 days to expire. You can try contacting iTunes Store support at <https://expresslane.apple.com> if you wish, but I really do not know how useful that will be.
Incidentally, you get the message to pay for the service when trying to enable it on your wife's Apple ID because the service has not been purchased using that Apple ID. iTunes Match is designed to be a single-user service that is never signed out of and is associated with one, and only one, Apple ID and a regional store.
