How do I turn off the feature in iTunes that automatically starts up iTunes when I press the mic button on my headphones?

Okay, so I guess the mic button in my headphones is broken and so it acts like I have pressed it even though I have not. So everytime I have my head phones plugged in itunes shows up and everytime I try close out or pause iTunes, it just starts right back up again and I have to do this constantly. My temporary solution was to just turn my iTunes volume all the way down but it still pops up with notifications that says a song is playing. It is gettin annoying because I cannot watch Netflix or anything else without getting itunes pop ups.  I was just wondering if there was any way to disable the feature?

The mic button is probably sending a signal (or command) that works like a keyboard shortcut to open the app.
System Preferences>Keyboard - under the Shortcuts tab, clear ANY iTunes shortcuts that appear in the list.

    Hi,
    Power Button Lockout is displayed.
    The monitor's Power Button Lockout function is enabled.
    Press and hold the Power button for 10 seconds to unlock the Power button function.
    If the above doesn't work then try a monitor reset.  Unplug the monitor’s power cord and hold down the monitor’s power button for 30-60 seconds. Plug the monitor back in and power it up.

    To disable that feature it will depend on whether or not you sync everything in the cloud using Apple's iCloud, OR if you both use the same desktop/laptop computer with iTunes. Here is a link to the Apple support page in regards to the automatic download feature included with your iPhone and corresponding softwares such as iTunes.

  • How do i turn off the auto lock feature?  In my options it does not have "never" on it.  It is only timed amounts.

    How do I turn off the auto lock feature.  I have only timed options.  There is not the "never" option available.

    I've got options for 2, 5, 10, 15 minutes and Never. Have you got an Exchange email account on your iPad ? 'Never' can be removed so as to protect a company's potentially sensitive email - they may not want the iPad being left/stolen with the emails on it accessible. If you remove the account the Never option will probably reappear

  • How can I turn off the security lockout features on my Palm Treo 650?

    how can I turn off the security lockout features on my Palm Treo 650?
    I know the password, but don't seem to be able to turn off the feature.  
    Post relates to: Treo 650 (Verizon)

    If you press the Home button and open Security, you can change "Auto Lock Device" to "Never". Does that do what you want?

  • HT201150 How can I turn off this "feature" and have the power button bring me the shut down / restart / sleep dialog by default again?

    How can I turn off this "feature" and have the power button bring me the shut down / restart / sleep dialog by default again?
    With the position of the power button on the Retina MacBooks, any mistake turns off the screen in the middle of a presentation or any activity using a projector or big screen — a huge waste of time to wake up the display, enter password, have the projector sync back, watch audience disconnecting from what was being discussed, etc.
    This is very annoying, and seems to add to the increasing collection of options Apple decided to make by itself instead of allowing the user to choose.
    Come on Apple guys, I'm using my Mac because I want options and lots of preferences to tweak to my needs.
    If I needed the lobotomized version I'd be using my iPad!
    Any way (official or hack) to change this button back to its proper funcionality?
    Thanks!

    Not what you want, but you can get the shut down / restart / sleep dialog by holding the power button

    You have to jailbreak your phone to do this, voiding all warranty & support. Just flip the Ring/Silent switch when you send.
