itunes launches itself and starts playing even when my laptop is closed, but I can still hear it. I can't figure out how to keep it from doing that.

See if a device is attached and "open iTunes when iPod is connected" is selected. https://discussions.apple.com/message/16483979#16483979
Check for other iTunes preference settings that might cause this.

  • I can't figure out how to keep sites from automatically playing audio and video.

    Internet Explorer has (or used to have anyway) an option to not automatically play multimedia content in web pages. I can't figure out how do this in Firefox to keep every third web site from sodomizing the music I'm listening to. This option is desperately needed.

    This add-on has been removed by its author. Does anyone know of another one that does basically the same thing? I have searched add-ons & googled, but just keep getting referenced to this no-longer-available software. Help!

  • Re: iTunes keeps opening by itself and starts playing music

    I have something really strange going on.
    My iTunes keeps opening by itself and starts playing music. I cannot figure this out. I turned off the "Sync Via Wireless" on all my gadgets, but this continues to happen. This has woken me up in the middle of the night until I got so tired of it I just shut my Mac down.
    Anybody hear of this? Know what to do?

    I had the same problem - and as well as opening by itself iTunes was skipping from track to track like crazy. But then I found a post from a few years ago that fixed this.
    Connect your iPhone to your iMac and uncheck the box that says 'Open iTunes when this iPhone is connected'. Problem solved!
    Hope this works for you.

  • I am new sto Lightroom and have also just changed from Apple to PC.  I cannot figure out how to download photos from the Photoshop library to a file that will be sent to MPIX for processing.  Also, does Lightroom have an easy access to a photo processing

    I am new to Lightroom and have also just changed from Apple to PC.  I cannot figure out how to download photos from the Photoshop library to a file that will be sent to MPIX for processing.  Also, does Lightroom have an easy access to a photo processing capability such as MPIX?

    Use the trackpad to scroll, thats what it was designed for. The scroll bars automatically disappear when not being used and will appear if you scroll up or down using the trackpad.
    This is a user-to-user forum and most people will post on here if they have problems. You very rarely get people posting to say there update went smooth. The fact is the vast majority of Mountain Lion users will not be experiencing any major problems with the OS, or maybe with apps which are not compatible, but thats hardly Apple's fault if developers don't update their apps.

  • I literally cannot figure out how to remove songs from my ipod touch 2nd gen. with itunes 11.  Please help.

    I can't figure out how to remove songs from my ipod with itunes 11.  And dragging songs to the ipod is rejected as well.  Please help.

    I want Steve Jobs Back!!! I'm seriously thinking of converting back to the older iTunes.We have a saying in my country,it goes,"If it's not broke,don't fix it!" Sometimes I think they do updates just to keep busy at their jobs or just to **** us off.I don't have time to learn new software everytime someone at apple gets a bright idea.At least they should think it through and test it well before giving it to us.Apple is not a small company,how come we got to work out all their bugs and problems? I may send them a bill! LOL

  • I can take video made in Photo Booth and use in my Smilebox greetings and I can use photos from iPhoto to use there also.  I have not been able to figure out how to take clips from iMovie for that.

  • I created a folder from my camera roll and shared with my icloud acct, can't figure out how to access it from my computer?

    I created a folder from my camera roll and shared with my icloud acct, can't figure out how to access it from my computer? I log onto icloud and can't find anywhere where "shared" photos are..

    You need Mountain Lion (10.8.2 or higher) and iPhoto '11 (9.4 or higher) or Aperture 3.4 to get shared photo streams on Mac.
    Another option to transfer them is to either import them to iPhoto using your usb cable, as explained here:http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4083, or to us an app like PhotoSync to transfer them to your Mac over your wifi.  (PhotoSync will also transfer albums, not just photos from the camera roll.)

  • Why does my itunes turn on by itself and start playing music without me clicking on itunes or without hitting play on the keyboard?

    My itunes will automatically start playing music when im on the computer away from the computer or across the house.  I am not accidently hitting play on the keyboard or anything.  I even quit itunes to close it completly down and still will open back up and start playing music on its own.  i need some help on resolving this issue as it is annoying me to death! lol

    Open Finder> click Go> hold Option and you'll see Library, then browse to the iTunes and iTunes Plug-ins folders.
    To get to the other folder click Go > Computer > Macintosh HD > then browse to the iTunes and iTunes Plug-ins folders.
    Close iTunes and try moving add-ons not manufactured by Apple temporarily to the Desktop to troubleshoot the behavior. iTunes stores these plug-ins and scripts in the following locations:
    Mac:
    /Users/username/Library/iTunes/iTunes Plug-ins/
    /Library/iTunes/iTunes Plug-ins/

    How do you get songs into a Smart Playlist...? Also, when I select the music tab on top, there is no iphone button or anything that says sync to iPhone.  That's where I get confused
    When you set up a Smart Playlist, it automatically populates the list with songs. You don't have to do anything. Now, you may not have set it up properly, meaning your set up fails to recognize any songs.
    If you just want to put music in a Playlist, just create one, give it a name. Then drag the music from the "music" list to the playlist. It copies the information there. And when you sync the Playlist to your iPhone, all the music goes.
    It's truly easy, but there is a bit of a learning curve until you're good at it. Keep asking questions here, everyone will help you. But do read the Apple documents, they lay out pretty straightforward.

  • I tunes opens by itself and starts playing.  cnat stand it anymore.  has anyone heard of a solution to this problem yet?

    itunes starts playing by itself.  sometimes when I am away or in the middle of the night when no one is around.  it will play and pause itself etc and quitting itunes or safari makes no difference, it is determined to drive me mad.

    I'm assuming you have already done the standard troubleshooting steps:
    If you get an error when trying to activate iMessage or FaceTime - Apple Support
    There is is an ongoing thread in the forum & while some have finally had it resolved, others are still waiting,  There seems to be an issue with Date & more specifically Time not syncing properly.
    On one of your devices try resetting by holding down the home & sleep/wake buttons simultaneously until the Apple logo appears then let go & let the iPad boot up normally,  Try to sign into iMessage/FaceTime again.  You could also try toggling Airplane mode on & off.   Again, some have had success doing this while others have not.

  • My entire iTunes music library is missing. It's like iTunes reset itself and started over. How can I get my music back?

    How can I get my music library back? When I launch iTunes there's no music. It's like iTunes started over completely and I can't find any of my music anywhere.

    Empty/corrupt library after upgrade/crash
    Hopefully it's not been too long since you last upgraded iTunes, in fact if you get an empty/incomplete library immediately after upgrading then with the following steps you shouldn't lose a thing or need to do any further housekeeping. In the Previous iTunes Libraries folder should be a number of dated iTunes Library files. Take the most recent of these and copy it into the iTunes folder. Rename iTunes Library.itl as iTunes Library (Corrupt).itl and then rename the restored file as iTunes Library.itl. Start iTunes. Should all be good, bar any recent additions to or deletions from your library.
    See iTunes Folder Watch for a tool to catch up with any changes since the backup file was created.
    In the unlikely event that all the media has been inexplicably and permanently removed from your computer, see Recover your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device.
    When you get it all working make a backup!

  • I need help figuring out how to Link Data from one table in Sharepoint to another table in Sharepoint and make it dynamic

    Hi Everyone,
    I am working on a project that uses SharePoint 2010 for repository and we have multiple tables that we are using.
    One table is a list of the various projects we are working on (workstreams)
    The other is a table with various notes and such, to include meeting notes for the various projects.
    Currently we are just copying the shortcut from the meeting notes table and adding it in as a link in the workstreams status table.
    I need to find out if there is some sort of way to make this process dynamic so that when a new note is added for, lets say workstream #1 in the notes table, it will automatically propogate into the notes link section for workstream #1.
    Is this even possible??
    And if so how would I do it
    I haven't done much with modifying SharePoint in several years, and would Truly appreciate any and all help with this.
    Thanks in advance
    IKE

    Hi IKE,
    According to your description, my understanding is that you want to create a link in the workstreams list linked to the associated item of the notes list.
    Assuming the workstreams list has  Title column and another column called “Note” used to linked to notes list, and the notes list has Title column and another column used to store note.
    Then you can create a workflow on the notes list with SharePoint Designer 2010, and in the workflow, using “Update ListItem” action. And in the workflow Start Options, select “Start workflow automatically when an item is created”.
    For the workflow action, you can set as the screenshot:
    For the string in the String Builder, you need to open an item of notes list, then copy the URL of the display form and paste here, the URL will look something like this:
    http://sp/Lists/notes/DispForm.aspx?ID=1&Source=http%3A%2F%2Fsp%2FLists%2Fnotes%2FAllItems%2Easpx&ContentTypeId=0x0100300025278693CE49A5E3A394B23AD9E1&IsDlg=1
    Now, you need to replace the ID of the item using [%Current Item:ID%], for example in the above link, delete the number 1 and add [%Current Item:ID%].
    Best Regards,

    Scroll down to "Update your device using iTunes" here:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4623
    If that doesn't work, you should restore your iPhone as described here.  Note you may have to try to get into the restore state more than once to succeed.
