ITunes life of its own

I was sitting here checking my e-mail when iTunes popped open with an alert telling me I don't have the access privileges required to save the iTunes music library. I didn't even try to save anything, and iTunes was just open playing music in the background. Started doing this yesterday.

I have the same issue. Just today it's started happening. While watching a video I'd suddenly hear the intro to one of my podcasts, however when I paused the video the podcast would also stop. I close iTunes and all other unneeded programs when watching movies, and yet it opens by itself and begins to play the first podcast in my podcast library.
This has happened 5-6 times in last few hours, and is now driving me to want to uninstall iTunes (despite my large music library, iPhone, and iPod--listening Apple?) so I can make it through a movie without this interruption.
We all know how adept Apple is at issuing a software update when a jailbreak hits the internet, so why not apply some of the coding to this flaw?

  • My iTunes has a life of its own.....

    Here is my dilemma. Ever since I upgraded to Snow Leopard my iTunes has had a life of its own. It never did this before. It starts up whenever it wants. I could be in Safari for example and suddenly my iTunes fires up a shows on the screen. I never click on it or nothing. It gets quite annoying after a while.
    At first I thought it might have something to do with me plugging and unplugging my headphones in my macbook. But it has done it once or twice without this action. The latest Snow Leopard update didn't fix it nor did the new iTunes version 9.
    I'm at a loss. Anyone else see this or have a solution?

  • Keyboard has a life of its own ...Help PLS!

    hi,
    my keyboard sometimes seems to have a life of its own. for example when I am using ITunes and filling out some from on the Internet it will mute the sound on its own and fill in a buch of charachters in the forms, as if I was pushing down mutliple buttons at the same time. the buttons that are always acitvated, at least from what i could see are the shift, e and 5. After a few seconds the the keyboard returns to normal. has anybody had a similar problem before?
    I don´t know what could be the problem. Please help me if you can!
    Thanks

    Can't say I've experienced keyboard problems as you describe but I have had erratic trackpads. This Apple article helped:

  • IPhone 5 has a life of its own

    I started noticing that my iPhone was acting weird after upgrading it to iOS 7.
    1. When the phone is in sleep mode and someone calls you, you wont be able to accept the call because the screen is not working.
    2. When you wake up the phone from its sleep mode, you wont be able to unlock the phone because the screen is not working.
    3. If you happen to answer a call from its sleep mode, the phone will start dialling numbers or even end the call.
    4. If you happen to unlock the phone from its sleep mode, the phone will have a life of its own and will start to open/close apps. Usually it will go to Messages and type "qzqzzqaqzqzqqaqzqzqzq" nonstop. Luckily, I haven't experienced the phone deleting anything by itself.
    5. The funny thing is, I can bypass these problems!
    *I can accept a call using the Apple Earpods.
    *I can unlock the phone from its sleep mode by pressing the wake-up button 3 times  and everything is back to normal.
    *I can also accept calls while using the phone.
    But now I'm sick and tired of doing these steps. I want a permanent solution.
    *Phone is updated to 8.1.2
    *Tried hard reset (Home button + Sleep button)
    *Tried erasing the phone's content and restoring it.
    *I haven't tried erasing without restoring the phone and use it like a brand new phone.
    *I haven't tried removing the screen protector (free from otter case)
    Can anyone please help me?
    Thank you.

    have you tried erasing it from the device or by a forced restore to completely reinstall ios? there are differences because if you restore from the phones menu, and there is a error in the software restoring from the menu it is possible the issue persists. if you did a restore, you should contant apple care there is probably something wrong with the device it's hardware!

  • ITunes relaunches on its own when iPhone is plugged in?!

    Hi guys,
    This "issue" never happened before, but since I upgraded iOS to version 7 on my iPhone 4 (GSM), iTunes (also recently and manually updated to the latest version) will restart after I close it when my phone is plugged in in USB. Basically, I back up / sync my iPhone, then close iTunes. About thirty seconds later, iTunes restarts on its own, and I have to close it again to keep it that way, until the next restart.
    At first, I thought it had to do with a loose or shaky USB slot, but I let my Mac sit on a flat surface, with the iPhone by its side, and every time I close iTunes, it restarts on its own, no matter what. Repairing permissions didn't help.
    This is driving me nuts, all the more so since I've checked in iTunes preferences, and couldn't find any mention of a "keep alive" iTunes functionality.
    I should add that this problem also happens when syncing via Wifi, but not as regularly as in USB mode. 
    Ideas, anyone? Should I check or uncheck something on the iPhone?

    Well, sure enough, there it was, and boy, it didn't come alone...

    My apple trackpad seems to have a mind of its own, it will be fine then it will go wild and start moving all on its own, clicking and going from left to right in spastic motions, what do i do, is it a virus or dust or what?

    Does your "System Preferences > Sharing" look like this (no sharing options have check marks)?

  • Itunes opens on its own

    My iTunes 10.5.2 keeps opening on it's own. I can't seem to stop it. This has been going on for many weeks now.

    It's the Resume feature of Lion:
    Managing Mac OS X Lion's application resume feature.
    If you shutdown your computer you should get a dialog asking if you want applications to resume on the next startup. Simply uncheck the box to prevent that from occurring. Open General preferences and uncheck the option to Restore windows when quitting and re-opening apps. You can also install a third-party utility to control resume features on individual applications: RestoreMeNot or Application State Cleaner.

  • My Lacie external hard drive has a life of its own

    Hi,
    I've had my Lacie External hard drive for about 4 months and i have a recurring problem, it wont always show up in finder or on the desktop.
    It shows up in disk utilities just fine, but stupidly the first time this happened i didn't know that you could right click and "open" it from disk utils, so i panicked and reformatted the hard disk, obviously losing everything inside.
    Since then i have learnt from my mistakes and now when it vanishes (when i start up the computer it just randomly doesn't appear...) i just open via disk utils. But this isn't fair! It should appear EVERY time its switched on and plugged in. Thats what i paid for.
    I issued a ticket with Lacie but with lots of trial and error they were able to tell me that is was more likely my imac and not the external hard drive. I am crossing my fingers hoping for help here!
    Thank you for any help/advice in advance! Charlie

    I used disk utility and tried "repair disk" and it said this... (yes, lol, my external hard disk is called peep)

  • ITunes off in its own world

    Our iTunes plays about 18 hours a day, every day, but what I saw and heard it doing the other day was interesting. It was playing an apparently never ending series of 3 - 4 second tracks that don't exist in my Library and each track was a single note with different instruments. I didn't hear it repeating itself either. The track names looked like random arrangements of about 15 alpha and numeric characters. Only the last 4 digits seemed to change.
    I do have a lot of unusual music in the Library so I was not aware of anything odd for a few minutes. I began to realise that what I was listening to was even more weird than my 'off the wall' taste so I went to have a look at the screen and found what is described above. I only regret that I didn't record what it was doing because it was pretty good.
    Anyone had the same 'problem'?

    You can use this software to add it to the menu bar:

  • Books from iTunes reads on its own randomly

    Iphone 5 starts reading books from iTunes randomly when i'm not even touching my phone

    You should also ask this in the iPhone forum. This is the forum for the white and black plastic MacBooks that were discontinued in 2010. You should also post this question there to increase your chances of getting an answer.   https://discussions.apple.com/community/iphone

  • Itunes starting on its own

    Does anyone suffer this problem, itunes just starts for no reason and starts playing when I switch the computer on. I then quit itunes and it starts again.
    Can anyone offer an explaination for this occurring?
    I do not have the computer set to start any programs at start up.
    Thanks
    Steve

    Check Dashboard to see if you have any iTunes-related widgets running. If so, close them and see if that makes a difference. Other third-party programs that link to and/or access iTunes data, such as the applications that post what's currently playing on sites like Facebook, may do the same thing, so see if you have any of those running.
    Hope this helps.

  • Keyboard with a life of its own

    I have a Setellite that is now a few years old.
    In the last few months, it has acquired a habit of spontaneously typing usually tab, caps lock and other keys in the of left of the keyboard.
    The problem is partially alleviated if I use an external keyboard, but it still happens every hour or so.
    I'm guessing its a (few) loose connections...
    Any suggestions welcome as its rapidly becoming unusable.
    Am I going to have to change the keyboard, and how do I go about that?
    Thanks,
    MJP

    Hello MJP
    It is possible that the contacts on the left side are not completely executable. It is a little bit confusing that there is a similar problem if you use external keyboard. Did I understand you right about that?
    I dont know which notebook model you have but the best solution is to change the keyboard. You can check if you can get the used one on ebay or you can contact the service partner in your country. Ask them how much costs the new one and if there is possibility to buy a used one.

  • Illustrator CS3 - curser with a life of its own!

    I have a curser problem will all the tools in illustrator under windows vista. When I try to select a point, scale, or draw any object the actual active area of the curser moves! For example if I draw a box the start point is in the middle of the pen tool. If I try to select a point with the arrow tool it will not let me and I have to click on a random area around the actual point untill it is selected. The most annoying is when scaling an object, when I try to click and drag a handle the curser moves to the side, away from the handle all by itself! I have been using illustrator for almost 10 years and I have never seen anything like this, please help!!!
    Regards Dave

    David,
    You didn't mention whether your mouse was wireless/wired, optical/ball/other ...
    Mice are interrupt driven. Check to see if you have any IRQ conflicts in the Control Panel-> System-> Hardware-> Device Manager. Also check the IRQs in Start-> Programs-> Accessories-> System Tools-> System Information. Are any devices sharing interrupts with your mouse? Also the more you tax your system resources, the more likely you are to have issues with interrupt-driven devices.
    If you have a ball mouse is it clean inside? Twist open the bottom panel and clean out the gunk. I clean the roller ball with alcohol and a Q-tip on a regular basis and use a pen knife to scrape gunk off the x and y rollers, and blast it out with a little dust off. (while everything is unplugged of course).
    If you have an optical mouse, what kind of surface are you working on? Optical mice don't like very smooth, very coarse or reflective surfaces. I've tried a variety of surfaces and the cardboard backing from a pad of paper is the best lo-tech solution for me. I've actually placed my laptop's optical mouse on a glass table and the cursor went shooting off the screen.
    Assuming you have any of the following items, have you tried: changing the wireless channel on your router; temporarily turning off wireless; temporarily pulling the batteries on your wireless keyboard; switching channels on your wireless keyboard or mouse (see the hardware manual); moving your wireless dongle to a USB port on the front of your PC; changing the batteries in your wireless mouse?
    If your PC is hidden away under the desk or in a cabinet, the signal strength may be low causing the pointer to behave erratically. Reflective glass surfaces (windows) behind your computer may also interfere with the signal.
    Hope some of this helps.

    [Edited by: admin on 30-Jul-05 10:10]

    There might be different reasons for that... SOFTWARE or HARDWARE !!!
    First you will have to check if this happens only when you are running windows.
    SOFTWARE:
    If yes,
    (1) a malicious program (trojan, keylogger etc) might be installed on your laptop, or
    (2) a faulty driver might be the reason. Have you recently attached a usb mouse or keyboard to your computer? This might have installed a wrong or incompatible driver.
    Start your computer and keep it in the PRE-BOOT stage (enter the BIOS-SETUP and wait to see if this will occure there again).
    HARDWARE:
    If yes, I assume that the contacts of your keyboard film are dirty. You will have to remove the keyboard, open the film-lock and clean the contacts with alcohol or a contact spray. If you are not familiar with this procedure, please consult the Technical support.
