How do I stop my imac OSX from automatically opening itunes 10 when a new device is attached via USB.

How do I stop my imac OSX from automatically opening itunes 10 when a new device is attached via USB? The devices do not pop up in itunes under a sync category, so I can't turn them off one by one, nor would I want to.
I apologize if this has been answered, but I couldn't find the solution for this problem.

Thanks for the reply but it didn't solve the problem unfortunately and I didn't think it would as I only downloaded Firefox for the first time a few days ago even though I have had this problem for over six months using IE.
Anything else that you think is worth a shot?

IMac does't go into sleepmode, when an iOS-device is connected via usb

Hi! My iMac 27" isn't going in sleepmode, when an iOS-device is connected via usb for charging. "HandleUSBMuxDictionary client 0x101803420-iTunes/com.apple.iTunes using library usbmuxd-211 built on Jan 13 2011 at 04:19:31, running usbmuxd-211 built on Jan 13 2011 at 04:20:21" is the entry that shows up in console.
Does anybody know, what that means and what I can do to get my sleepmode back?
Sorry for my english, I'm from germany.

Hi Dennis,
thx for your reply.
It would be a way to use a charger instead of the iMac (I already do so), but then I have to go two ways, one for syncing and one for charging. I don't think, that this was Apples intention. The ease of use is "a part" of their products and going these two ways instead of one can't be something Apple wants.
So I hope, that either there is another way or there will be an update for iTunes to fix this.
Once again thx.
Regards,
Stefan

How do i move only my library from a shared itunes account to my new account

How do i transfer only my library from a shared itunes account to my new account

I am confused by terminology, not knowing what you mean by "iTunes account". You have a computer account which is your user area on a computer. You have an Apple ID that you use to buy items from the iTunes Store. You have a media collection which is an iTunes library. So what is your "iTunes account" and what exactly do you want to do?

How do I stop the application check everytime I open itunes?

How do I stop the application check everytime I open itunes? I have 200 apps and to have to click 200 times for every app to confirm I do not want to replace my newer version with an older version is a serious bug! Is there something to click off the check, I have already told the preferences to stop checking for new software!

I have resolved the problem. Steps to resolution:
1. Deleted all applications inside the folder "Automatically added to iTunes," many of those apps were also inside the Mobile Applications folder.
2. Next, I uninstalled iTunes, and downloaded the latest version of iTunes.
3. Restarted the computer.
4. Installed the newest version of iTunes.
This repaired the problem.

How can I stop mail on iPad from going to next message when deleting an email?

How can I stop the mail app from moving to the next message when deleting an email?
I like to keep messages as new until I can take action on them, but this just makes an unnecessary step. I do not have this problem on my iPhone, but I am still running 5.0.1 on the phone and have the new iPad 5.1 software.

Hi furiousbalancing,
With regards to deleting messages in Mail, you may find the following portion of the following article helpful:
To prevent the next message from being automatically selected (and marked as read), hold down the Option key when you delete a message.
Mail (Mavericks): Delete messages
http://support.apple.com/kb/PH14900
You can also use Command-Shift-U to toggle a message between Read and Unread (command should be the same in Mavericks):
Mail (Mountain Lion): Keyboard shortcuts
http://support.apple.com/kb/PH11679
You can also close the Preview portion of the Mail window, which should then require you to double-click on a message to open it and have it show as read (it appears the double click on the seperator may no longer work in Mavericks, but you should still be able to drag it to make it disappear):

How do I stop the iMessage conversation from automatically showing when I go into the I message center? I only want the contacts to show down the left side and nothing on the right until I select a conversation to view.

HOW DO I STOP THE WHOLE IMESSAGE CONVERSATION FROM AUTOMATICALLY SHOWING WHEN I GO INTO IMESSAGE? I only want the contact bar on the left to show and not the whole conversation, until I pick one to see.

You can't. You can sign out of messages and turn it off, but you can't do what you would like to do. You can send feedback to Apple.

How do I stop the firefox sidebar from flipping open and shut non-stop and driving me to almost smash my keyboard through the screen???

I love firefox but the sidebar is a massive turn-off. It flips open and shut when your pointer inadvertently goes near the thing. If I had just started with firefox and had no history of it being brilliant (apart from insanely slow to open) I would never give it a second look. Dump the dumb sidebar thing or make it so you at least have to click it. As it is it's the single most annoying thing I've encountered in computers since I had windows Vista as an operating system - and we know how that story ended...yes in tears.
Don't let that happen to firefox - it is too fantastic for a pathetic feature like this to unwind all the hard work of countless people around the world.
If you cant piss it off for good at least make controlling it a primary informative guidline in Help.
Seriously, it is worse than Vista and Millenium put together on the irritation index!! Only a true masochist (*ok, your average geek) would put up with it.
There, that's better it's now off my chest. I need to take up Yoga.

Sounds that you have installed an extension that has added that feature because Firefox doesn't do that by default.
Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox (Tools) > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).
*Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.

How do I disable my iPhone 4 from automatically opening texts?

Because I am afraid that I might be infected by it automatically opening a text message. I get a TON of spam everyday. Also, is there any way to ONLY recivce text messages from my contacts (and have all others be automatically deleted)?

Only your carrier can block SMS's, there is no way to do so on any cell phone. As to being infected, if your phone is not jailbroken, you have nothing to worry about, as nothing can be installed on your phone that way.

How do you prevent a random website from automatically opening when you add a new tab?

When I click to open a new tab (with the plus sign), this website automatically opens: http://www.searchqu.com/web?src=derr&appid=113&systemid=406&q=http%3A%2F%2F and says "search: oops! the website you were looking for could not be opened." i tried the new URL extension with the home page selected, and tried other related advice on here. none of it is working. i did cleans of my system with AVG and malware software. etc etc. also, sometimes i will be on a website and it will randomly switch to this website and keep me from accessing the correct one. help!

hello cstien, you can either try to install the [https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/searchreset/ searchreset addon] to reset the new tab page or manually change the relevant settings:
enter '''about:config''' into the firefox location bar (confirm the info message in case it shows up), search for the preference named '''browser.newtab.url''' and double-click & change its value to about:blank (the default would be about:newtab which shows thumbnails & links to your most visited pages).

How do i stop the sign in from automatically popping up, how do i stop the sign in for itunes from automatically popping up

I had to restore my iphone 4. Everything went fine but I started receiving a pop-up telling me to sign with my Apple ID password. It's the wrong e-mail address, so I can't even sign in to stop it from popping up again. Any suggestions?

Hi Jenny,
Welcome to the Support Communities!
The first step to resolve your issue is to update your Apple ID information. The instructions to do that are below:
Frequently asked questions about Apple ID
An Apple ID is a user name you use for everything you do with Apple. Creating an account for an Apple service, such as the iTunes Store or the App Store, creates an Apple ID. Apple ID allows you to access other Apple services. You don't have to create a new account for each service—just use your Apple ID.
How do I change my Apple ID Name or personal information?
You can change your Apple ID Name at My Apple ID. Click on Manage your Apple ID and sign in with your Apple ID name and password. Click Edit and enter the new information, then click Save Changes. Changes take effect immediately. You can also use My Apple ID to change your personal information, such as your mailing address or email address. See Changing the name you use for your Apple ID if you'd like more information.

Using your Apple ID for Apple services
Can I change the name of my Apple ID?
Yes. For example, if you get a new email address, you can change your Apple ID from your old address to your new address. For more information, follow the steps in this article.
Note: @mac.com and @me.com Apple IDs cannot be renamed.
I have purchased music, apps, or books with multiple Apple IDs. How can I get all of this content onto my iOS device? 
First, you need to copy all of your purchased content so it is on the same Mac or PC with iTunes. This computer should be the one you sync your device with. For more information on how to move your content, see these articles:
Mac: iTunes for Mac: How to copy purchases between computers
PC: iTunes for Windows: How to copy purchases between computers
Next, authorize your computer to play content with each Apple ID in iTunes. Once your computer is authorized for all your content, it can be synced to your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch.
I hope this information helps ....
Have a great day!

How to stop Adobe flash Player from automatically opening when I start google browser

Whenever I open any google browsers i.e. Chrome or google, the Adobe flash player automatically starts. I want to know is there any settings I can unclick that will stop it from opening automatically. I want to have the control of when to start flash player.

Having just solved this irritating issue, two steps are required to stop Chrome running audio or video automatically, but still allow it to run on request:
1 Go to chrome://plugins/ and uncheck the 'Always allowed' box for the offending plug-ins - Adobe Flashplayer, Quicktime etc
2 Go to chrome://settings/content, scroll to the Plug-ins section and change the default 'Run automatically (recommended)' to 'Click to play'
Now when you open a page with audio or video content, it'll be greyed-out with a jigsaw icon, which you can click to run.

How do I stop my iPad 3 from automatically downloading iOS upgrades

I have an iPad 3rd gen now with iOS7. A few days ago I had iOS6, and discovered by serendipity, that the ipad had automatically downloaded iOS7 and then asked me to install it. I was never asked if I wanted to download the upgrade.
I had all the settings set so that this would not happen. So.....why did it happen?
My ISP is a satellite internet hookup which has a limit on how much I download, unless I do it between 12 MN - 5AM. There is no download limit during those hours. For large downloads I get them done during MN and 5AM. The iOS7 upgrade was about 900MB and happened during the day. It threw the switch on my service because of exceeding my limit, and slowed me down to dial-up speed.
I need to know how to prevent this in the future. Anyone out there with any ideas? Any help much appreciated.

I have a similar procedure that I used on my iPad mini (16 GB)
For those interested, I've created a work-around. The idea is to fill up the memory on the device with *your own files* so the auto-pushed download will see that there's not enough room on the device and won't begin the download at all. The approx max size you need to leave *free* on the device is ~2.45 GB. The download will not initiate if this size (or less) is on the device. If more memory than this is free, the download will begin again when the device is connected to Wi-Fi and is externally powered.
1. Create a video file on the iPad's video camera of about 5 minutes in length (~684 MB) which you use as "padding", taking up space on the iPad.
2. Copy that file multiple times into a folder on your HDD, renaming each one sequentially IMG_01.MOV (IMG_01 - IMG_20. I have 20 copies on mine.
3. Restore the iPad as new from the iPad itself (Settings>General>Reset>Erase All Content and Settings) to keep the device at iOS 6.x
4. Setup the iPad with Wi-Fi and activate it.
5. Disable Wi-Fi on the iPad.
6. Take one picture with the iPad (to create the Camera folder on the iPad)
7. Download & install iFunBox (Google it)
8. Run iFunBox with iPad connected and access the Camera folder on the iPad
9. Fill the Camera folder with the video padding files you created above. On my 16GB mini, I filled the folder with 17 of the video padding files, leaving ~2.45 GB free on the mini.
10. Re-enable Wi-Fi on the device.
11. Copy your apps/music/etc to the iPad as you would normally. As your memory size reduces on the device, simply delete one or two of the video padding files using iFunBox being careful not to leave *more than* ~2.45GB free. This way, *you* have control over what is being pushed (or NOT pushed) to the device and when you need more memory, you free it up yourself as needed.

How do I stop "comments" field metadata from disappearing in Itunes?

I am using Itunes 10.3.6 to tag songs using the "comments" field under info. After entering my data, occasionally when I click or double click on one of these songs, everything entered in the comments field disappears. I can't seem to find any cause or solution to this problem online (and there doesn't seem to be a logic as to when the data disappears). Does anyone have any ideas how I can keep my work from vanishing?

Two methods, both of which are covered in the spec: the itunes:block tag or the "Report a concern" link on the podcast's page in the music store.
In this particular case, you do not need to make use of the changes because the podcast will not be approved.
