ITunes interfering with standby/hibernate

I have my computer set to standby after an hour, but when I have iTunes open, it doesn't stand by and just stays on. Does anyone else have this problem, or know how to fix it?

I tried using iTunes 7 but I went back to version 6.5 because iTunes 6.5 does not prevent standby/hibernation.
It is quite annoying that Apple have done nothing to fix this since 6.5.
I like to listen to Jeff Rense Show mp3's when I settle down for the night and if I fall asleep the PC will shut itself down after the tracks have stopped playing.
Is there a hidden setting in iTunes 7 that will fix the issue ?

  • ITunes interfering with iDVD

    I have an odd problem that I never had before. I made a slideshow of old slides on my parents' iMac. I made a quicktime file and started burning it onto dvds with iDVD.
    I decided to put the file onto my laptop as well so I can burn twice as many DVD's (they are for gifts for family).
    However, when I create an iDVD project on my laptop, I get this message from itunes saying I am not authorized to use this video. When I go into iTunes to authorize, the message is still there in iDVD.
    It still lets me preview the DVD and it plays fine so I tried to burn it but it gives me an error. Why the heck does itunes think it can claim my video that I made? It says "This computer is not authorized to play.." Even after authorization, it still won't let me do anything.
    Any suggestions?

    It seems to only work IF you use an approved iPhone adapter cable thru the USB connector to the Aux connector in your car. Also, is your BT adapter in the car an integrated system or is it an after-market add-on? IF it is an option that was installed from the car manufacturer (and NOT at a dealership or an auto electronics installer) check the owners manual to see if the iPhone is on their list of compatible devices to work thru the BT system. I know this as I am an automotive model line engineer and I DO test a lot of phones for BT compatability in our vehicles we manufacture. iPhone is compatible with quite a few cars thru BT and IF you use the right cables iPod plays fine and will pause, mute while on a call and revert back to playing where it was paused.
    Hope this helps you.

    Why would you create a new account?
    All purchases will be tied to the account from which they were purchased.
    You will have to authorize your computer for all the accounts from which music is purchased.

  • How do I restore Notes through iTunes without interfering with Microsoft Exchange Calendar and email

    I recently added a Microsoft Exchange account to my iPhone and had to stop syncing my Calendar and Mail Accounts through iTunes because it was creating duplicate entries.  When I made those changes, I lost all of my Notes on my iPhone.  I backed up my phone after adding the Microsoft Exchange account, but am afraid to restore the backup (to restore the Notes) because I don't want to restore the pre-Exchange Calendar and Mail Account settings or entries.  If I select "restore backup", will it restore my Notes without interfering with my Calendar and Mail Account settings or entries?  Also, I don't know when the Notes disappeared from my iPhone, so it's possible that I synced through iTunes after I added the Exchange account, which probably means that the Notes I am trying to restore are in a prior backup, not the most recent backup.  Can you help?
    Thank you.

  • Is there a way to download someone else's iphone pictures to my computer without interfering with my iphone backup/ itunes?

    is there a way to download someone else's iphone pictures to my computer without interfering with my iphone itunes backup?

    Ensure that your iTunes is set up so it will not sync automatically. Then you can connect the other iPhone to your computer and import the photos in the same manner that you import photos from your phone and/or a digital camera.

  • Is there a way to download someone else's iphone pictures to my computer without interfering with my iphone itune

    is there a way to download someone else's iphone pictures to my computer without interfering with my iphone itunes?

    Yes.
    Photos/videos in the iPhone's Camera Roll can be imported by a computer as with any other digitial camera, which is completely separate from iTunes and does not involve iTunes.
    I sync my iPhone with iTunes on my Mac and I sometimes import photos from my iPhone's Camera Roll with my Windows PC at work.

  • Can not download itunes spoke with apple who removed my older verision cause i could not do the update, so they tried to download the new verision which they could not do either, same story its the computer i have a windows xp 2002 32 bit  sp2

    No help from Apple..I have a Windows XP 2002 32bit with service pack 2 and 3..Apple removed my old itunes because i couldn't up date.However they could not down the new verison after trying several times...
                         error mgs reads     errorwriting to file:c:\programfiles\itunes\itunes.resources\ru.|proj\storepreorderbutton.png      then below it said verify that you have access to that directory.. Been with this for quite a few days and I'm burnt out  Thanks

    That one's consistent with disk/file damage. The first thing I'd try with that is running a disk check (chkdsk) over your C drive.
    XP instructions in the following document: How to perform disk error checking in Windows XP
    Vista instructions in the following document: Check your hard disk for errors
    Windows 7 instructions in the following document: How to use CHKDSK (Check Disk)
    Select both Automatically fix file system errors and Scan for and attempt recovery of bad sectors, or use chkdsk /r (depending on which way you decide to go about doing this). You'll almost certainly have to schedule the chkdsk to run on startup. The scan should take quite a while ... if it quits after a few minutes or seconds, something's interfering with the scan.
    Does the chkdsk find/repair any damage? If so, can you get an install to go through properly afterwards?

  • QickTime and/or iTunes Interfere with Outlook Express

    Last week, after installing the new iTunes version with QuickTime it started interfering with the operation of Outlook Express. Specifically, one of these two products is reading new messages in my OE Inbox folder and changing them from unread to read messages. This problem persists after I uninstalled both products. There must be a driver or other component still operating in the background that is doing that. Or these products may have changed the registry of OE and did not reset it back during the uninstall. I need help in fixing this problem. I don't want to reinstall OE because it involves a lot of efforts.

    This is a fair question which I tried to address in my original post. OE started to exhibit the problem right after the installation of iTunes with QuickTime on my computer. I suspect that one or both of these programs are reading new messages on OE Inbox. Anyone with knowledge of the inner working of these programs may confirm or invalidate my observation and pointing to them as the culprit.
    I contacted Apple Support and they are bouncing me between their telephone and email support groups.
    I hope somebody on this forum is familiar with the algorithm of iTunes and QuickTime and affirm wether or not they are reading email messages on the computer they are running on. Better yet, I hope someone can help me resolve this problem on my computer.

  • Using iTunes credits with Family Sharing

    I used to have a debit card associated with my Apple ID, but now that we've enabled Family Sharing with a child on the account, I am required to use a credit card. However, I don't want to put iTunes charges on a credit card. I thought I could avoid this by adding iTunes credit to our accounts. So, I decided to test this. We have her settings set to "ask to buy".
    I have credit on my (the organizer's) account. I attempted to purchase a song using my daughter's account on her device. I thought I was supposed to get a message on my phone telling me that she was requesting to make a purchase. Instead, I got a message on her account on her device with a pop-up that said I needed to enter my security code (on her device).
    My questions:
    - Why was I not notified on my device that she was attempting to make a purchase? Nothing I read suggested that she would get messages on her device that I had to enter information on it. Was this a one-off thing for setting it up? Or, does this only work with apps and not music?
    - If I entered the security code, would it charge my credit card or would it realize that I had credit on my account and deduct it from there first?
    - If I apply credit to her account, is it true that I will not get a message to verify her purchase?
    Thanks for any insight.

    iTunes store credit is used for payment if it is on the account.  By that, if your daughter has store credit, and she makes a purchase, it would be deducted from her store credit - not yours.  So if two children (Billy and John) each have $10.00 in their respective accounts, only THEY can use the credits - iTunes store credit is not shared.  If there is not sufficient store credit, then the organizer's credit card will be charged to cover the purchase.
    Regarding the pop up security code message, do you still have a restriction set on her device?  If so, that could be interfering with the "Ask to Buy" feature of family sharing.
    Regarding the last question, I am not sure.  The documents are not very specific, but I have read that if Ask to Buy is enabled, you will receive notification if the child tries to download free apps.

  • Sharing one itunes account with two computers

    I used to share my itunes account with my sister and our ipods were synched to one computer. We now have two new computers and would still like to continue to share that account. Is it possible to open the same account on two separate computers?

    Explain how you transfer content manually.
    Control-click or right-click it in iTunes, choose Get Info, locate the music files, move them to the other computer's hard disk as you would any other type of file, and then drag them into the open iTunes window. By default on a Mac, dragging them to the open iTunes window also copies them to the hard disk.

  • Can i use 2 ipad's on the same itunes account with different apple accounts?

    Both me and partner have an ipad 4. Though we only have one computer, can we use the same itunes but with different apple acount without any issues? We use some of the same apps, but my partner plays fx Baldus Gate and is worries that save files will be corrupted.

    Each iPad should be linked to its owner's personal, private and nonshared AppleID. In the Mac, each one should have a different login account so each has their own iTunes Library containing your iPad's details. When you use iTunes on the Mac, since each logs in with a different login and corresponding Home directory, iTunes picks up the correct AppleID.

  • Does iTunes come with 32bit and 64bit install?

    I have Windows 7 and it's a 32bit and 64bit Gaming Laptop G73SW.
    I've done all the troubleshoot tips, which has just made my computer worse.eg all icons changed, things now missing, so probably have to do a System Retore to get it all back.
    Every time i speak to Apple,  they're suggestions just make my computer stuffed, iTunes takes over all my programs etc.
    Simply put: Does iTunes come with a 32bit and 64bit Install??? If not i won't be using that program.
    Which makes it hard for my line of work atm as an Alpha and Beta Games Tester for many Private Platforms i play on.

    Well genius, it's either a 32bit or 64bit system, it cannot be both.

  • Why when I try to login the Itunes Connect with my Apple ID it always says: "Apple ID does not have permission to access iTunes Connect."?

    Why when I try to login the Itunes Connect with my Apple ID it always says: "Apple ID does not have permission to access iTunes Connect."?

    Look on one of your bank statements and be sure to enter the billing address exactly as it shows on the statement. Some folks forget where they actually get the statement. They put their home address in iTunes/Mac App Store and they actually get the statement at their place of employment or vice versa.
