Itunes Possessed

Itunes keeps opening itself. No matter how many times I quit out of it it just starts itself up. How do I make it stop? Please help.

Do you have a Dashboard Widget that uses iTunes? If so it's probable that that widget is using iTunes which is why it opens.

    Apple (and no one else) can not assist (with serial number or iCloud) in finding a lost or stolen iPad.
    Report to police along with serial number. Change all your passwords.

  • HT1420 I'm trying to authorize a new computer with an itune account, but my the computer statea that I have too many devices authorized. I only have 2 computers in my possession now. How can I deauthorize computer I don't have anymore without deauthorizin

    I have recently purchased a new lap top. Both my wife and I share our Itune music. When I purchesed the computer I was able to authorize my itunes account on it and move my purchaced music over from my iphone. However, I was not able to move my wifes music over because she has too many devices authorized under her account. Most of those computers are no longer in our possession and have been thrown out. How can she deauthorzise computer we don't have in our possession anymore without deauthorizing them all?

    Authorizing deauthorizing has NO effect at all on your itunes library.  You lose nothing.
    You should also alwasy have a backup copy.
    You MUST deauthorize all.
    You have the only answer there is.

    How can I deauthorize an iTunes account for a computer I no longer possess?

    If you no longer have the computer(s) you want to deauthorise,
    Log in to iTunes,  go to "view your account info" on the itunes store,  deauthorise all five, (Please Note: this can only be done Once every 12 months)  and then re-authorize your current Computer(s) one at a time.

  • ITunes is possessed!?!?!?

    All of a sudden my iTunes is possessed, I open the app to select a song to play and it goes haywire! In the selection screen it scrolls up & down on its own, in the play screen it scrolls back and forth then eventually surprises me with a song of its choosing. I've tried restarting the phone, no luck what else can I do?

    I've got a resolution to my problem. Thanks to my buddy Joe Cicinelli at coyotecreeksoftware.com, he suggested reinstalling iTunes 7.3 and that resolved the playing of songs when YouTube videos play and when iChat messages come in.

  • Films I do not possess anymore prevent me from changing my iTunes region, although my last film ran out a good month ago.

    So I got a new bank card with some cash on it a good month ago and wanted to change my iTunes region to the UK, since that is where I'm living right now. My last one was set to Germany, since I was running over a different card. I borrowed The Avengers for 2 days from iTunes 3 weeks ago, and so the time ran out and the film was deleted from my Mac and iTunes. Yet still I get the message above, that I still possess that movie and until it runs out, I cannot change my region.
    Anyone got ideas on how to fix that?
    Thank you

    The problem is, that the movie WAS deleted off my Mac already, so I don't even have the option to watch it. And since it ran out back in September, I have waited for more than a week for it "to run out".
    Solutions? But thanks for the quick suggestion.

  • Sir, it appears my iTunes is possessed.

    Short of performing an exorcism Im lost!
    Every few days iTunes takes is upon itself to start up randomly and begin playing any old song... when I try and turn it off it keeps coming back to life... nothing will get rid of it until I restart... but then it starts up again when I least expect it.
    ITs like a very bad horror movie...
    Please send help / an old priest and a young priest....

    This is usually caused by the following:
    -- third-party apps (trying to communicate with iTunes)
    -- widgets(trying to communicate with iTunes)
    -- connected speakers

  • What would possess Apple to disable the Genius Function in iTunes 11

    I bought more great music that way than any other way possible. But now there are NO recommnedations from the iTunes store for the songs I owe.
    The first thing I always did after purchasing a new song was to see what the other recommendations were and that would always lead to the discovery and purchase of more music! *** were they thinking!!! SO FRUSTRATING!!!!!

    Inquisitive,  The link you used is for iTunes feedback.  Try again to iTunes Customer Service.  Make clear that the track is defective and that you request a refund.

  • My phone is possessed, every other day I have to delete the same app,. I find I'd on my list on my iPhone, although its not on my iTunes list!!! As if it is a virus. It shortens my battery life too.

    This is happening to my old iPhone too, so I guess it's a sync related issue, when I delete it a message comes out asking me that I'm deleting this bookmark, not an app, but can't find it's origin

    But could the user of the phone just turn on iCloud themselves and get the private notes I wanted to keep from them? Is there a way to permanently delete them from the old phone without deleting from the new phone?

  • Can I Use iTunes Store without Storing Bank Accounts, etc, in my Profile?

    Hi
    Today a fraudulent charge of $89.99 appeared on my iTunes account. This suggests that a hacker has obtained my password, and hence access to all information in my iTunes account, including credit card or Paypal account information. I can deal with having to claim refunds for fraudulent iTunes purchases, but I cannot afford to risk ID Theft, or to have my back account information in the possession of hackers.
    (1) Is it possible to maintain an iTunes account that does not store bank accounts, and ideally stores no personal information other than my email address?
    (2) If I can do this, I assume I'd then have to enter that information for each purchase. Will this information be expunged once the ourchase is complete? Or would it remain on the system in some form, accessible to hackers?
    (3) If (1) is not possible, how do I cancel my iTunes account? There does not seem to be such an option on the iTunes Account Management screens.
    Thanks,
    Chris

    You can remove your credit card from your account. Go into the account, click "Edit payment information" and you will see the option under credit card to click "None."
    For purchasing, you can either enter the card info per transaction, or you can start using iTunes gift cards which are readily available.

  • At a loss. Wiring a possessed house I think! Input needed

    Need some help.
    I know and have done a lot of networking No pro, but self taught. Did run Ethernet of my whole house (ex wife's house now ) pre wifi days. Running wires, using switches and routers. All worked. Have down a ton of wifi - all Apple gear for myself in my location, friends and family. Good to go. I currently run a bunch in my home for iPhones, computers, netflix, itunes server, Air Video for all devices. Flawless.
    So I'm not a dummy at least. So……
    To my dads house. My on going project for a year. Great house. Big. Hand built back in the '50's. All plaster. Well made.
    1- His office - cable modem to Airport Extreme - named BASE. Across this room, one Airport express (all AX are older g units) for the stereo from computer.
    Now when I try to extend this network only for him to use his iPhone with Apple Remote to control music, I have now bought 5 Airport Expresses - the signal will not carry for more than 10 feet at best in this house (it's possessed I swear). NOT KIDDING.
    I put an Express 10 feet from the office to a kitchen, why because any further I get no signal connection.
    From this Express another one 10 feet for a den.
    But the signal is so weak it doesn't work.
    The house is plaster - I guess very well plastered and who knows what metal lathering is behind the plaster? It's a ranch.
    What could possibly abort wifi signal like this. Oh, I might add, no iPhones work in the house either. We're in NY.Long Island. Major ATT signal. Nada in house. Go outside no problem.
    So I'm going to tackle this again this weekend. Start from scratch. Any insight? I'm asking because I'm at a loss and think I'M NUTS! LOL
    What would make wifi not carry for any distance? Lot's of windows in the house too.
    I'm on the verge of telling him to have cable run another wire and modem to the other side of the house.
    I'm stumped. I was going to post a few times but can't imagine why I can't get this working. Feel like a dunce.
    Right now he tells me it's no connection in the den. The last AX extender not 10 feet from him.
    Thanks in advance.

    In addition to metal, water also will cause significant reduction in signal. The higher the frequency, the worse the problem. (One of the reasons why in the past submarines needed to surface to use their radios.) Perhaps the plaster or wood is exceptionally wet or the particular plaster they used has a high metal content. You may want to try using only 2.4GHz instead of 5HGz because lower frequencies penetrate walls better. I'm grasping for straws, but I'm not sure what else you could try short of tearing down walls.
    I will tell a story of one wiring job I did. My boss gave a quote and approval sight unseen. He normally didn't do this but due to various circumstances and time constraints, he took a gamble. The job was to install a DSL modem and wireless router for a doctor's office. The modem and router were in the managers office. The reception area in the next room would have two workstations about 15 feet away, connected wirelessly. The doctor's office would get one laptop connected wirelessly, about 100 feet at the other end of the building. The building was all wood construction so no one foresaw what happened next. The manager's computer was fine since it was wired. One of the wireless reception workstations was fine with full signal strength since it was a line of sight through an open doorway to the router. The other reception workstation was working but only had 50% signal strength. (Not line of sight to the router.) The doctor's laptop had zero bars. I moved the laptop next to the router and got 100% signal strength. I walked the laptop next to the workstation with line-of-sight, and still got 100%. I walked to the other reception workstation and got 50%, same as the workstation. I walked out of the reception area turned left and started to walk down the hallway to the doctor's office. I took no more than 5 steps and got zero bars! I walked back a few steps and the meter jumped to 50%. I had to do this a few times to fully convince myself. It was only a chance conversation I had with one of the nurses who recalled that the former occupant of the office was a dentist. So we surmised that the room that the router was in might have had the x-ray machine, so they would have lined the walls with lead or whatever. In any case, we ended up having to pull wires. But we learned that regardless of what it looks like on the outside... But this does sound quite similar to your experience.
    There's also the time that my coworkers found that the whole wall was 1/4" steel plate. The walls were covered with drywall so we didn't know it was there until we ruined a half dozen drill bits. It seemed like it was armor plate steel. We think the building used to be a indoor gun range or something. And there was the time that we encountered hardened concrete walls at an office using a former military building. Fortunately neither of those had Wi-Fi but we likely would have had signal problems in both cases. It taught us that we can't assume and needed to do a thorough inspection ahead of time.
    So while I don't think the house is possessed, I do suspect that the original builder used some funky local material. Maybe he was a conspiracy theorist and has tinfoil in all the walls.

  • Is there a way of finding out what has been accessed on my MacBook Pro whilst in the possession of an apple authorised service centre?

    Hi Guys,
    I'm a bit new to this discussion group thing although I've been using Macintosh computers for many years (showing my age).
    I handed my MacBook Pro to be repaired at an authorised apple service centre. When I handed it in they said they needed to keep hold of it to run some diagnostics and requested my password. I've owned various models of mac for the the past 17 years and this is the first hardware problem I have encountered, hence I have never bothered to set up user accounts. 
    As I live in quite a remote part of Sweden I am paranoid that some untrusted technician is going to make a copy of my music (11,000 tracks) or share some of my personal information (scanned copies of my birth certificate, passport, certificates, photos, etc.) on the web. Is there a way of finding out what activity has taken place whilst they've had it in their possession?
    I appreciate any advice you guys can offer.
    Thanks!
    PS: I've already thought about the 'recently opened' menu and The machine in question is a MacBook Pro 17" (2011) running OS X 10.6.8 (need Rosetta).

    I am paranoid that some untrusted technician is going to make a copy of my music (11,000 tracks) or share some of my personal information (scanned copies of my birth certificate, passport, certificates, photos, etc.) on the web.
    If you put your info into the computer and hand it to another, you have to assume they will copy everything.
    Why are you putting scanned copies of valuable identity information into a computer than can be hacked, stolen, lost or compromised by a dirty tech?
    Have you lost your mind?
    Is there a way of finding out what activity has taken place whilst they've had it in their possession?
    No. The tech would just deny it if he did, or tell the truth which the answer would be "NO" in either case.
    The employer won't ask that sort of questions without solid proof, less they make a enemy of the employee and/or risk being sued for defamation of character.
    It's not like they bother to have a team of people watching over his shoulder that he doesn't stick a USB thumb drive of your data into his pocket to take home.
    I am paranoid that some untrusted technician is going to make a copy of my music (11,000 tracks)
    If it's iTunes music, it has your personal ID embedded into the song files. Most IT techs know this though.
    I appreciate any advice you guys can offer.
    Too late now, all you can do is not worry about it.
    Take your personal info out of the machine and if you need it, burn cd/dvd copies, a few USB thumb drives, Iron Keys or self encrypting external storage drives with key and/or keypad.

  • Apple TV does not load rented items from iTunes in less than three (3) hours depsite YouTube, Netflix and network being fine.  How can I get Apple to actually provide the iTunes service I am paying for?

    I'm just tired of waiting on this inept device and it's underserved iTunes counterpart being unable to deliver enough bandwidth to load a show within a reasonable amount of time.  I'm a big Apple fan and an equally big critic.  This whole rig is a big FAIL so far, Apple.  There is nothing ON DEMAND about the iTunes Store at this point.  Netflix and YouTube work better on Apple TV than their own iTunes Store!  And, this has been going on for a few years now, unremedied, and is only getting worse with more people buying these devices!  I do not reccommend this device to people like I used to.
    The good news is, that iTunes will give refunds about 85% of the time if I explain my problem the way I have here.  SO, ATTENTION: EVERYONE WITH AN APPLE TV: If you have this same issue with iTunes Store not properly serving your paid content, do not hesitate to ask for your money back.  It's the least they can do for the amount of life wasted waiting for a show to load.  Not to mention, all the disappointments with the kids at bedtime and when my wife and I want to just relax and turn something on.
    Bottom Line: ITUNES IS UNDER-SERVED!!!
    OR
    There is a massive conspiracy by cable and DSL ISPs against Apple taking away TV viewers.  Is it possible the ISPs are somehow limiting or buffering the data packets coming through the port(s) employed by iTunes Store?  Like I say, with me and many others on this forum, the problem lies solely with iTunes Store.  Youtube, Netflix, Podcasts and everything else generally serve up just fine.  The iTunes Store, however, is a consistent failure.  Something that seems unusual for Apple not to address, being so customer-centric and all.
    Please share any links or insights you have here so the faithful might get to the bottom of this incredibly annoying problem. I WANT MY ATV!

    There is a massive conspiracy by cable and DSL ISPs against Apple taking away TV viewers.
    Most networks are overloaded and operating at full capacity.  However, a solution is coming.
    Technology experts are working on a movie storage system where YOU have physical possession of the movie.
    This system stores the movie digitally on an optical disk system that will not be dependent upon a congested, complicated, and fragile network.
    Because all of the data is stored only a few feet from your television, all the bottlenecks are removed.  Performance and reliability are virtually flawless.
    Further, the system will not utilize any form of security codes, authentications, or passwords. Once the optical disc is purchased it can be moved around freely at will, and can even be lent or given to friends and neighbors with zero hassles.

  • I want to change the country of my itunes account but I do not have a credit card of the country

    I had my account registered in the itunes store and has changed the store from Japan to UK.
    I also had some apps downloaded in the Japan itunes store and I am not able to update these apps.
    I want to change my account back to the Japan store since I want to update these apps without wiping the application data.
    I have tried changing the country/region under the account session, but it will not let me unless I put in credit card information, which I do not possess.
