Is it just me, or is everybody being "probed" by someone in China?

My router security log shows "blocked remote administration" from an ip that is apparently in China. Is that something to be worried about?
Needless to say, I do have remote administration disabled in the router's settings, I think that's the default, actually.

nope, nothing to worry about. Scans and remote attempts to access routers is common. China and the old Soviet countries are the most common sources of these scans. Just make sure that the password for your router is a custom password. Not left at the default setting.

Place the iOS device in Recovery Mode and then connect to your computer and restore via iTunes. The iPod will be erased.
iOS: Wrong passcode results in red disabled screen
If recovery mode does not work try DFU mode.
How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
For how to restore:
iTunes: Restoring iOS software
To restore from backup see:
iOS: Back up and restore your iOS device with iCloud or iTunes
If you restore from iCloud backup the apps will be automatically downloaded. If you restore from iTunes backup the apps and music have to be in the iTunes library since synced media like apps and music are not included in the backup of the iOS device that iTunes makes.
You can redownload most iTunes purchases by:
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
If problem what happens or does not happen and when in the instructions? When you successfully get the iPod in recovery mode and connect to computer iTunes should say it found an iPod in recovery mode.

Sun should be proud to be open source, it is the only thing microsoft
can't buy....Thats the only line of your whole pointless post that I read.
Since when is "sun" open source. I imagine you mean java. Java isn't open source, what makes you think it is? You can get the source for it and modify it to suit ur needs as per the license but this isn't really open source.. is it?
Anyway, don't waste space with your crap here, send an e-mail to somebody at sun instead, its just a waste posting this here.

Remote speaker being used by someone else

Using iTunes 10.0.1.22 on Windows XP. Have Airport Express hooked up and am using the latest updates to AE. Was able to connect iTunes to AE just fine until I updated iTunes to 10.0.1.22. Now, I keep getting the error message "the remote speaker is currently being used by someone else. please select another speaker from the bottom of the iTunes window." I don't have another speaker, just Computer and the AE (which is connected to a receiver connected to speakers). I was able to listen to my iTunes library thru iTunes or Pandora with AE. I can still listen to Pandora, but every single time I try to listen to iTunes I get the same error message. I've been debugging this for 2 weeks to no avail. I've contacted RogueAmoeba and they have been great trying to help, but nothing works. I'm beginning to think this is an Apple/iTunes problem/bug.
In iTunes-Preferences-Devices, I do have "Look for remote speakers connected with Airplay" checked and "Allow iTunes control from remote speakers" checked which is supposed to allow you to control iTunes with a third-party remote connected to AirPort Express. I admit I'm not sure I understand Airplay and how it works or not works with Airport Express. I'm connected wireless to AE and my computer.
Any ideas what's wrong...this is driving me nuts and I miss my music!
Thanks!

Then in that case since you get audio when the Apple TV is used with other devices I have to assume the problem lies with the receiver and with a little luck is nothing more than a setting.
The message about the speaker being used by someone else is interesting and possibly related possibly not. That message will appear if the Apple TV is already playing something and you try to play something else by Airplay. I assume when the Apple Tv is connected to your receiver you receive the message all the time, even if you play something from the Apple TV and let it finish. What about when you connect the Apple TV to another device, under what circumstances do you get the message then.

Error: "Airport Expess" is currently being used by someone else...

Error : "Airport Expess" is currently being used by someone else. Please select another device from the menu at the bottom of the iTunes window.
Please help me with this issue.
I have iTunes constantly throwing this error whenever I try to stream to my AirPort Express.
it is frustrating not getting any answer from Apple.
They just ignore those of us having the same problem
Thanks
Luis

Replaying to myself, I found what was causing the problem.
I have an Ubuntu machine and I was making some test to stream to Airport Express from Ubuntu.
Under Pulseaudio preferneces I had checked "Make discoverable Apple Airtunes sound devices available locally" for tests some months ago.
Unchecking it solves the problem.

Is it possible to automatically trigger a camera when someone arrive in the background hahaha.. Just a wild thoughts you know, like when someone suddenly pop up, the camera will automatically fire. I'm planning to use it in our Horror tunnel this october.

You could try to use a motion sensor - in a do-it-yourself store you can buy motion sensors that turn on the lights when a burglar approaches the property. Connect this sensor to the remote control of your camera instead of to a light.
Probably you can buy ready-made motion sensitive remote controls, the photographers here will know. You would need this kind of remote control for wildlife photography.

An app which I have never purchased shows as an update on the App store. When I try to deal qith it shows as being purchased by someone with a different apple id than me. No one else uses my Macbook Pro. Any ideas???

An app which I have never purchased shows as an update on the App store. When I try to deal with it shows as being purchased by someone with a different apple id than me. No one else uses my Macbook Pro. A "Genius" at one of my local Apple stores spent over 2 hours trying to fix this and could not do it. His last suuggestion was to go home, back up all the data an take the computer back to the Apple store to reinstall the operating system. Any simpler ideas to solve this problem.???

Airtunes speakers "being used by someone else"

Hello. I have an Airport Extreme running a WDS, and an Airport Express as a remote basestation on that network. Everything works fine, except that, as of last week, choosing the Express' remote speakers in iTunes results in the message that they are "being used by someone else."
I have tried everything I have read in the forum, to no avail. My firmware is up to date. I have the latest iTunes (6.0.1). I'm running 10.4.2. I have set the Express back to factory default, and set it up again fresh. I have renamed the Airtunes speakers. Nothing does any good.
The story is this: a couple of weeks ago, our receiver blew out, and we took our system apart for repair. At that time, Airtunes was working perfectly. We got the receiver back, fixed, and reinstalled everything this past weekend. Airtunes gives me this error now. We have a TiVo Series 2 box plugged in to the Ethernet port of the Express, and it is networking fine. I have not installed the TiVo Desktop software, so my Mac running iTunes should not be confused about where it is sending audio.
My only thought is this: Airtunes settings include the checkbox to enable Airtunes over Ethernet. This choice, while enabled, is also grayed out, so I can't turn it off (I'm told this is part of the WDS or something?) Could the Express be confused, with something plugged into the Ethernet port, thinking that this is using the speaker setup?
I tried running iTunes with the TiVo unhooked from the Ethernet port, in fact, I tried it right after factory resetting the Express (I never plugged the Ethernet jack in) but it still gave me the "being used by someone else" error.
Can anyone help?
Thank you,
Danny.

Henry,
Well, I am glad to hear that it isn't the settings, nor the TiVo plugged in. But that does leave me in a state of limbo, eh? To reiterate, I have restarted the iTunes running Mac (we also have an iBook, but it has been shut down for all these tests), and I did factory reset the Express.
Would it help to factory reset the Extreme? I wouldn't think so, it having nothing to do with Airtunes... but I'll try anything.
I've seen in other threads that iTunes 5 appeared to produce this effect for some people... (though the majority of them were streaming fine and then would suddenly lose their speakers, whereas mine never make an initial connection...) could it be that iTunes 6 and 6.0.1 are doing it to me? There was no posted resolution for those other people, so I don't know if they had their issue solved.
Still tuneless,
Danny.

My Pin is locked and it's being used by someone else!

Hi,
I'm from Venezuela and I bought my Blackberry Curve 8320 through Amazon last week.
When I was trying to activate my BB services here in Venezuela they found out that the pin is being used by someone else in USA with TMobile. How can this be possible?
I called TMobile and they are not able to do anything.
Who can help me to release my pin so I can use it here in Venezuela?

did you buy the device at Amazon or at Amazon MarketPlace? I think you bought a used phone at the MarketPlace. You have to contact the seller and tell them to call T-Mobile to have the PIN released.
The search box on top-right of this page is your true friend, and the public Knowledge Base too:

"The remote speaker ... is currently being used by someone else."

I hope someone can tell me the preferred way to get passed this message in respect to connecting to ATV speakers via iTunes on the computer.
I want to use multiple speakers via iTunes in my computer.
But when I try to connect to the speakers assigned to the ATV, I get the above "The remote speaker [name] is currently being used by someone else" message.
What do I need to do (in the ATV) to make the speakers accessible when this happens?
