How to Disable "Use itunes for internet playback"?

I accidentally clicked the SET button in itunes which defaults itunes for internet playback.
I do not want this.
How do I revert back?
I DO NOT want to use itunes for internet playback and I can not find any way to shut it off.

Here's one way around it. For example, open iTunes, open the radio playlist and drag any station to the desktop. Highlight the icon, and click Command i. In the Info window there is a command "Open with:" It probably has iTunes as the default. If so, hold down the arrow for a menu of applications to choose from. (Mine has RealPlayer and Quicktime available.) If those aren't listed, choose "Other.." A window will open with available applications. Choose one and close the Info window. Open the application you've chosen. The controls will appear. Click Command o (Open). In the desktop window choose your radio station and play. I hope this works for you. It should work for any streaming source. Now if some body could tell me how to stop those irritating "rebuffering" interruptions, that'd be great.

How to unset the 'use itunes for internet music playback' option

In Advanced Preferences, I mistakenly clicked the SET button for "Use itunes for internet music playback". Since then, I have closed and opened itunes, so it appears the preference has been saved (the field is no longer highlighted)
I cannot find any way to unset this option. I want to unset this option. Could someone please tell me how?

I don't think that deleting the plist file will help.
Clicking that button sets the handler for a bunch of file types. You can't just unset it, you need to set the handler to something other than iTunes. Normally audio and video are handled by the Quicktime Plugin. You can restore that behavior in System Preferences:
System Preferences -> QuickTime (in the Internet and Network set) -> Advanced -> Mime Settings...
You may have other plugins or programs you want to use for some formats (like .wmv or .avi). Those programs should be able to reclaim the file and MIME types from their preferences.

Unsetting Option -- Use iTunes for Internet Music Playback

In the advanced pane of the iTunes Systems Preferences, there is an Option -- "Use iTunes for Internet Music Playback". You can click on the SET button to use this feature.
But how do you UNSET it? I no longer want to use ITunes for Internet Music Playback.
I am running iTunes 7.02 and Tiger 10.4.8.

Use iTunes for internet radio - settings question

Hi all,
I have a Linn Klimax DS (digital streaming) unit as part of an audio system, and that's being fed over my Cat5 network by a Twonky MediaServer installed on one of my mac's. That Twonky setup has SHOUTcast enabled and was serving internet radio fine and identified the stations until I installed iTunes 8 yesterday. I made the mistake of clicking on the button that says 'Use iTunes for Internet radio' in the preferences-> advanced->general pane.
Basically, I need to find out what precisely that setting actually does under the hood, so I can use the command line to reset that, turn it off, or undo basically what it did set.
Hope someone can shed a bit of light on that, maybe even just a hint, as I have been through the console logs, but haven't seen anything that jumps out at me. Thanks in advance for any help.

Want to use Quicktime for Internet Playback but i cant

Hi
I want to use Quicktime in Firefox or Camino for Internet Playback of MP3 files but i cant change it!
Dont know whats wrong here. Everytime i want to listen to an MP3 Track RealPlayer comes in and does the job...
All the searching through the net didnt help much. :'(
Maybe someone knows how i can fix this.
Thanks in advance!
Zettt
[EDIT:]
The site which causes the trouble is www.myownmusic.de

That Site has coded the html to call the Real Player plug-in. You could look at the source code, find the .mp3 file (and its complete URL) and open that URL in the QuickTime Player.
May not be worth the effort. I am able to view the entire .mp3 URL in Safari's Activity window and use copy/paste to the QT Player's "Open URL" dialog.

How do I use iTunes for 2 different iPods?

I just got my sister her first iPod, but her daughter's iPod is already set up on her computer. So we want to enable iTunes to support 2 iPods.
I was told that the only way to do this is to select certain playlists to be synched with one iPod and other playlists with the second iPod. However, I don't know how to do this.
My greatest concern is that as soon as I plug in one iPod it will automatically download all files. How does iTunes distinguish one iPod from the other?
This shouldn't be so hard. Any help would be great!
Thanks!

There are a couple of methods for using more than one iPod on a single computer. Method one which has already been described is to have two Mac or Windows user accounts which by definition would give you two completely separate libraries. Method two is to set your preferences so that either one or both iPods get updated with only certain playlists within one library. Have a look at this article and see what you think and go for whichever you feel suits your needs best: How To Use Multiple iPods with One Computer
Another option when using a single library is to set one or both of the iPods to manual update: Managing content manually on iPod
Choosing the update option "automatically update selected playlists only" allows you to create a playlist specifically for each iPod and drag the tracks you want into it. If you tire of the list and want to change it, you just add or remove the songs you don't want. The ones you take out out remain in the library to be used by the other iPod. Make your playlist a Smart playlist and limit the size to just below the advertised capacity of your iPod ( for example, around 3700MB for a 4GB or 1800MB for a 2GB Mini or Nano). You can read more about playlists at these links:

How can I use Itunes for different users on the same PC

I have itunes loaded with my full library. I have now created a second user account on my computer for someone else to access, and I want them to be able to access the full library which I have (4500 songs). How can I do this. Currently, when I open itunes in the other user's desktop, it is completely empty. I did try ticking share my music under preferences, but the library has still not appeared.... I know this must be an easy one, but if someone could help me because I must be a bit dim...........many thanks.

How Do I Use iTunes For More Than 1 iPhone?

My wife just upgraded her phone to the iPhone 5 and wanted to download all of her apps to the new phone. I though it would be as simple as logging into her iTunes account through the iTunes software on my PC and then just download them through the program. But of course nothing is simple when dealing with Apple. Instead of simply listing the apps associated with her iTunes account it lists a bunch of random apps from my iPhone. How do I see the iTunes apps associated with her account? Right now it seems like the only option is to go into the iTunes store through her phone and download each app individually.

That doesn't make any sense. She's logged into iTunes, We shouldn't have to create separate accounts on our PC. That should be handled by the iTunes software. If I log into say Netflix from my friends computer it will go to MY Netflix account. I wouldn't need to create an entire profile on his PC just to access my account.

How can I use bridge for Internet via ethernet, How can I use bridge for Internet via ethernet, How can I use bridge for Internet via ethernet, How can I use bridge for Internet via ethernet

Hi,
I would like to use Ethernet instead of wifi. My Mac mini is upstairs, my router is downstairs. I have an old spare router, can I possibly use this with an Ethernet cable, or do I have to connect it to the router downstairs or to the phone jack. If this is not the solution, can you advise of any other way please.
Thanks
rafromvalencia

Your downstairs router can be installed anywhere in your home, but telephone companies or ISPs are only obligated to install their equipment just barely inside its service entrance. Usually, that location is the worst possible one for a home network, since it's in a basement or some remote corner, far from all the devices that use it.
Your idea to install an Ethernet cable to extend its reach to a more suitable location is an excellent one and will be worth the effort or expense. If you don't want to do it yourself a qualified electrician can perform the work quickly and elegantly, and you may find the cost surprisingly affordable. Ask your friends and neighbors to recommend a reputable electrician and get a written estimate.

Can I use Ethernet for Internet connection and Airport express for printer

How / can I use Ethernet for Internet connection and use an airport express to set up wifi for printer and Apple TV?
Macbook Pro. OS X 10.9.4

I've never tried it, so I don't know what the results will be.
However, you can move Ethernet to the top of the Services list in Network System Prefs which will cause it to be the Internet source. There is a command in the gear menu to set the Service order. However, after thinking about it, if there isn't an internet connection via Wi-Fi, it might automatically drop down to the Ethernet connection.
Then, you can set up your Wi-Fi so that it doesn't connect to the Internet, as Linc stated. How to do that would be dependent on the Router.

HT1338 for itunes 10.7 it is saying that my mac need version OS X needs to be version 10.8.6 - how do i get this? There are no current software updtes and i cant use iTunes for my new iphone 5

For itunes 10.7 it is saying that my mac need version OS X needs to be version 10.8.6 - how do i get this? There are no current software updates and i cant use iTunes for my new iphone 5

I think you meant 10.6.8, not 10.8.6
It requires an upgrade, instead of a free update.
Snow Leopard/10.6.x Requirements...
General requirements
   * Mac computer with an Intel processor
    * 1GB of memory (I say 4GB at least, more if you can afford it)
    * 5GB of available disk space (I say 30GB at least)
    * DVD drive for installation
    * Some features require a compatible Internet service provider; fees may apply.
    * Some features require Apple’s MobileMe service; fees and terms apply.
Which apps work with Mac OS X 10.6?...
http://snowleopard.wikidot.com/
It's been pulled from the online store & Apple Stores, so you have to call Apple to buy it, last I heard.
Buy Snow Leopard > http://store.apple.com/us/product/MC573/mac-os-x-106-snow-leopard

Hi Rashid,
To use itunes for Ur iPhone click http://www.apple.com/itunes/how-to/#video-sync
Setting up syncing
Tutorial:
Before setting up syncing you should download and install the latest version of iTunes. Wi-Fi syncing requires iTunes 10.5 or later and iOS 5 or later. You can change your sync options at any time. Each time you sync, content is synced between your iOS device and computer to reflect new, updated, or deleted content.
USB syncing
Open iTunes.
Connect the iOS device to your computer using the included USB cable and select it in iTunes under Devices on the left-hand side:
Some tabs may not appear if you do not have corresponding content in your library. For example, if you do not have any podcasts in your library, the corresponding Podcast tab will not appear.
Click Apply, in the lower-right corner of the screen, to sync.
Wi-Fi syncing
Open iTunes
To set up Wi-Fi syncing, connect your iOS device to your computer with the included USB cable. Select your device under Devices on the left-hand side.
In the Summary tab, select "Sync with this [device] over Wi-Fi".
Whenever the computer and the iOS device are on the same network, the iOS device will appear in iTunes, and you can sync it. The iOS device will sync automatically when all of the following are true:
The iOS device is plugged in to power
iTunes is open on the computer
The iOS device and the computer are on the same Wi-Fi network
While the iOS device appears in the left-hand column of iTunes, you can select the content tabs and configure sync options.
Click Apply or Sync to sync the iOS device.
If the iOS device does not appear in the Devices section or you are unable to sync, please see this article for troubleshooting.
What you can sync
Applications
Audio content—music, podcasts, audiobooks, and iTunes U content
Bookmarks
Books
Contacts
Calendars
Movies and TV shows
Photos
Notes
Documents (File Sharing apps only)
Ringtones
Additional Information
The first time you sync the Info tab with your iOS device, you are asked if you want to merge data, replace data on the service, or replace the data on your computer from the following applications:
Mac: Address Book, iCal, Microsoft Entourage, or Microsoft Outlook 2011
PC: Microsoft Outlook, Outlook Express, Windows Addressbook (XP) and Windows Contacts (Vista and Windows 7)
For more information about syncing your device with your computer, see the user's guide or see this article.

I have been using iTunes for years to connect to the radio and just recently tried to tune in and an error sign pops up stating " A error occurred while contracting the radio tunning service. Check your internet connection or try again later." There's no problrm with my internet service so what's up?

You are probably using an old version of iTunes with which the stream link service seems to have stopped working for many users of older iTunes. No, Apple makes no comment about this kind of thing. It may reappear, it may not (it has been dead for over a week now). Your solution is to upgrade the operating system version on your computer from 10.5.8 to 10.6.8 so you can run a newer iTunes, or live without. You can still open streams if you can get the URL, and you can then save them as playlist items.
