Disabling Keyboard commands with itunes?
Does anyone know if it's possible to disable the keyboard commands for itunes? I'm trying to use other programs like Illustrator but whenever I hit keys like "apple+c" or whatever, it makes the itunes skip to the next track. Any advice would be appreciated ..
Oddly enough, this just started happening today ... i've never had a problem with this before
Hi, just bought a brand new imac 20inch 2.66 Intel mac with wired alu keyboard and I have just the exact same problem. When my itunes is opened and playing, I cannot type anything in another programm, because my itunes responds to that: skipping numbers, starting and pausing.
But... it's not only itunes. When I use iphoto, touching of lifting my keyboard will start random slightshows which are very hard to stop. Also typing some text in iphoto wil start and stop slideshows.
It seems like I only have to take a look at my keyboard and all kind of things are starting to happen. Also switching between spaces with ctrl and arrow keys make the mac do al kinds of weird things, except switching.
Further my wireless mightymouse is daily asking to be installed again. Weird!!?!
I called Apple Care, and I have already done the following things:
Checking the HD and repairing it
Archive and install OSX
Alt cmd P R
Formatting the entire computer and installing OSX again, incl. all the updates
All these things are not helping. The problem keeps existing.
Tomorrow I am going to call Apple Care again and hoping to have a solution. But I strongly believe the problem has to do with the keyboard.
Does anyone know a solution? Is it the keyboard?!?
Please help me!!

De-activating keyboard command for iTunes
I want to use control-option-space for another program.
Currently it causes iTunes to open. To disable this through the Keyboard Prefs panel I need to know the exact menu item name, but it does not appear in iTunes's menu so I cannot do that.We're just users here. Send feedback -- including feature requests -- to Apple via "Aperture→Provide Aperture Feedback".
There is no keyboard command. Aperture uses the mouse "scroll" command. You may turn up a utility which allows you to map the mouse commands to keyboard shortcuts.
You might also search the forum for posts on resizing Brushes with the Intuos4 tablet. There may be a work-around which you can apply to your trackball. -

Hi;
I need to restore the information from disabled iPhone 4 because it went out of battery. I do know the passcode, but the phone is not showing the numbers to dial it. What is important for me is the data and not the phone. Below is the details of the phone:
1. Phone info:
iPhone 4
iOS version: not sure
Passcode: Known to me
2. Objective: To restore the data from the phone (Contacts, messages, files, ...etc)
3. Current Status:
i. Phone screen Content:
"iPhone is disabled"
"connect to iTune",
received sms,
"slide for emergency"
*******no passcode keyboard or dials!********
ii. Connect to iTunes status
- receive this message:" iTunes could not connect to the iPhone "xxxxxx's iPhone" because it is locked with a passcode. you must enter your passcode on the iPhone before it can be used with iTunes".
**********Passcode is known but no mean to enter it from iTune or from iPhone! *********
no appearance of iPhone in the sidebar
4. Reason for the issue:
i.I left the phone without SIM in a safe for a while. it has daily alarm. it seams that the battery drained completely and when I charged I got this status.
ii. I normally don't connect (sync) my mobile to computer. I may have couple of sync but they are outdated in one hand and in the other hand I really need the information after I took them. Further, the machine is formatted where I kept the sync. So practically they are not existing.It's not possible to selectively restore parts of the backup - it's all or none. If you had been syncing your contacts, calendar and notes to iCloud or an app on your computer, just sync them back - it's automatic with iCloud if you set this in settings.
Your in-app history and data was contained in the backup you aren't using. There's no way to retrieve them without restoring the entire backup. For all you know, the problem causing the overheating was corrupted app data that you don't want back in the phone. -
Problem with overwrite and insert keyboard commands
I'm a new user, switching from FCP. I edited one project successfully with no trouble a couple of weeks ago. Now I'm in a second project and having a weird difficulty. Using a pretty new Mac 8 core tower.
The insert and overlay keyboard commands (comma and period keys) don't work. They still work in the old project but not this one. If I start a new sequence and copy my timeline to it, the commands will work for awhile but ONLY with video, not with the audio tracks. Drag and drop works fine but that really slows me down.
The clips I'm using are all the same format (H.264 from Canon 5DII and some still photos) as the first project. Only difference in this project is lots of chroma keying and some resizing of background still photos. Nothing unrendered.
I started a new project just now and imported the problem project into it, started a new sequence, copied old sequence, and I get the same problem. I can drop in video with a keyboard command but not audio. Earlier it was not even doing video. Yesterday when I'd start a new sequence and do the same thing, it would give me video on the keyboard command but then eventually that would stop and it would do nothing. At one point the cursor would move over the width of the clip, as if it had been dropped into the timeline, but then that stopped as well.
I've trashed preferences and that didn't work. I did that according to a procedure I found online. It said open up PP while holding down the Shift and Option keys. I did that twice. Nothing.
To summarize: Keyboard commands for overwrite and insert edit do not work in this project but do in an older project.
Any ideas?
Thanks.
Bill Pryor
[email protected]Well, thanks to an email from another person who was having the same problem, it's all solved not.
Operator error. Dang. Who knew--in FCP you select a track by clicking on the V or A buttons to the far left. In Premiere Pro you have to make sure BOTH the far left button and the one to the right that says Video 1, Audio 1, etc. are also clicked. They BOTH have to be light gray. In my first project, everything was properly activated but in the next project apparently they were not and that carried over to succeeding projects (even though I didn't change anything...at least consciously).
So all as well now. No glitch, no bug. Just good ol' fashioned operator error. I will wear the dunce hat today. -
I bought an apple iPod 5th generation the other day and I cannot remember the unlock passcode. I have done the restore thing, but because I never set it up or synced it with iTunes, it does not recognize my device. It is disabled for one hour. There's only a few things that could be my passcode, but because it disables for an hour, it is time consuming trying to figure it out. What do I do? I do not care about having to erase everything since it's new and there's nothing on it, but it was never synced with iTunes.
Disabled
Place the iOS device in Recovery Mode and then connect to your computer and restore via iTunes. The iPod will be erased.

If recovery mode does not work try DFU mode.

can someone please help me. my grandson accidently locked his iphone. i have try to reconnect it with itunes in order to restore it. But it won't do anything except have screen showing ipphone disable connect to itunes when i do itunes says please allow access to iphone. what do i need to do it when i try to open it shows emergencey calls only nothing else will open up. please help me reset his iphone please.
You have to put the phone into recovery mode before you can restore it. First, turn the phone off. Second, while holding down the home button, connect the phone to the computer, and keep holding down the home button until you see the iTunes logo on the face of the phone (this is recovery mode). Next you should see a message on iTunes on your computer say something like "in order to use this phone you have to restore it from recovery mode.." This will allow you to access your phone! Hope this helps.

Hey, my ipad is disabled and i cant open. i tried connecting it with itunes in recovery mode to restore it but it wont work it doesnt show and options itunes doesnt detect my ipad in recovery mode. what do i do know? please help!!!
If you followed these instructions and you were unable to enter recovery mode, I'm still leaning toward a hardware problem. Also, since you have IOS-7, read this. It might help.

How can I unlock ipod touch 5th gen currently disabled and never sync'd with itunes
Basic situation. Ipod touch 5th gen. Passcode forgotten and tried too many times such that ipod is disabled and requested to connect to iTunes. Problem is that the ipod was never sync'd with iTunes so the connection fails. I've only owned it for 9 months or so. I know I can recover all my music through iTunes and my applications through the app store since all of my content was legally purchased. The problem is that I need to also recover my contacts and pictures since this is the only place they exist.
I have read about methods up to 4th generation where you can access a particular file on the device via computer and rename it to unlock the device. That would most likely allow me to then sync/backup via iTunes and recover my data. Problem is that I can only access the DCIM folder via windows manager and it contains no data. Perhaps there is a way to access the device a different way?
Is there a way with the 5th generation to either reset the lock (from disabled to locked with a 1 min wait for retry as an example) to allow me more opportunities to try other passcodes that I may have set (including mistypes etc) or to remove the passcode completely and let me set it to something I will write down this time?
Please do not reply with the standard apple responses of 'sync with itunes' or 'factory reset' and no, I did not sync with the icloud either (I tried but it was unsuccessful for some reason).
The answer doesn't even have to be a free one as I would be willing to pay for the solution if it were guaranteed to work. Since apple seems to want to charge for any type of support, even to ask a question, I am relying on the community for help. Thanks much.You have to place the iPod in Recovery mode as Apple says and erase the device. It is a security feature.
or
If you previously turned on FIndMyiPod on the iPod in Settings>iCloud and wifi is on and connected go to iCloud: Find My iPhone, sign in and go to FIndMyiPhone and use Remote Wipe to erase the contents of your device. If you have been using iCloud to back up, you may be able to restore the most recent backup to reset the passcode after the device has been erased.
You can also wipe the iOS device by installing the FindMyiPhone app on another iOS device and using that app to wipe the device.
There is not other way -
Syncing disabled with Itunes 10.1
I can't my sync address book and ical Itunes with my iphone 3GS (OS 4.1) with itunes 10.1. Itunes keeps telling me syncing is disabled on this computer (imac) and I can't change it.
I check sync address book contacts , hit apply and the window syncing has been disabled comes up and check it to enable it and a new window comes up to overide. . I then hit overide and still no syncing, this is very frustrating , Anyone have any ideas how to proceed ? Should I reinstall itunes ? This has been happening since upgrading to itunes 10. Can I go back to itunes 9.
CraigSounds like you have an issue with your Sync Server.
To fix this it will require some pretty advance troubleshooting.
Before you begin, male sure any and all data is backed up from
iCal an addressbook.
1. Make sure you are NOT logged into mobile me. You can check this by going to your system preferences and selecting mobile me. Sign out if you are logged in.
2. Unplug ANY AND ALL iOS devices (iPod iPhone etc) and restart your computer into safe boot.
3. To make sure you don't have ANY active sync clients, boot your Mac into safe boot by holding the shift key.
4. Navigate to the following location ~/library/application support/ and RENAME the SyncServices folder to something random.
5. Restart your computer regularly and try to open iSync.

I want to create an applescript/automator tool to launch the "Add to library" command in iTunes with a specific path. I need to know what process is run under the hood to create such a script.
To put you in context, I have an NFS mount point with all my music and with the "add to library" command, I can add more music to the folder and update iTunes without dragging the individual folders or the whole mount point and avoid having the songs show up as doubles.
Anyone know what OS/Unix process is being called for such a command?I want to create an applescript/automator tool to launch the "Add to library" command in iTunes with a specific path. I need to know what process is run under the hood to create such a script.

my ipad is disabled and it said ipad is disabled connect to itunes but i connected it and was restoreing it and then there was a popup and it said itunes cannot connect to ipad because it is locked with a passcode. and you must enter the passcode on the ipad before it can be used with itunes. But i couldnt even write the passcode on my ipad cause it was disabled. What should i do now????
Follow the instructions on this page to reset your iPad : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1212
Note: If iTunes asks you to enter the passcode, try another computer that you have synced with. Otherwise, go to "If you have never synced your device with iTunes, or you do not have access to a computer" section below.
If you have never synced your device with iTunes, or you do not have access to a computer
If you see one of following alerts, you need to erase the device:
"iTunes could not connect to the [device] because it is locked with a passcode. You must enter your passcode on the [device] before it can be used with iTunes."
"You haven't chosen to have [device] trust this computer"
If you have Find My iPhone enabled, you can use Remote Wipe to erase the contents of your device. If you have been using iCloud to back up, you may be able to restore the most recent backup to reset the passcode after the device has been erased.
Alternatively, place the device in recovery mode and restore it to erase the device:
Disconnect the USB cable from the device, but leave the other end of the cable connected to your computer's USB port.
Turn off the device: Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button for a few seconds until the red slider appears, then slide the slider. Wait for the device to shut down.
While pressing and holding the Home button, reconnect the USB cable to the device. The device should turn on.
Continue holding the Home button until you see the Connect to iTunes screen.
iTunes will alert you that it has detected a device in recovery mode. Click OK, and then restore the device.
