Itunes randomly plays music when monitor turns off?

I'm having the weirdest problem ever. If itunes is open, when I turn off my monitor, my itunes randomly starts playing music. This happens if my ipod is connected or not. It's kind of annoying. Is there a option that I can turn off this? thanks.

That's not a built-in feature. You must have installed some third-party software that uses motion sensing to control iTunes.

ITunes automatically plays music when computer moves

I work with my computer on my lap 90% of the time and every time I move my computer in the slightest, iTunes starts playing music. I've realized that some form of shuffle is on, but the sensitivity is so high music is continuously starting and stopping any time I move my legs at all. It is the most frustrating thing and I have no idea how to turn it off/increase sensitivity/etc. Please help!

Trouble playing music when backlight goes off.

I have a really strange problem with my iPod that started sometime last week. I discovered that it started have difficulty playing music, as if it was a scratched CD. I figured out later that this problem is alleviated by keeping the backlight constantly on, but this of course drains my iPod battery very quickly, even at 0%. Does anyone know what my iPod is doing, and can it be solved?

Just tried it and now it works. Of course it's the simplest answer. =)
Thank you!

IPhone Randomly Plays Music when Headphones Unplugged

Hi, kind of a strange problem...
Sometimes, seemingly at random, when I unplug my headphones, music will start playing out of the speakerphone. It's always Achtug Baby by U2 (I see why it's Achtung, starts with A but why U2 I dont know, lol).
Just wondering if I'm somehow doing something that would cause this behaviour or if this is a documented bug.

There's already a thread on this here where you might be able to find answers/reasons http://discussions.apple.com/message.jspa?messageID=7871760#7871760

My 2008 Macbook froze (though iTunes kept playing), and wouldn't turn off, so I had to take the battery out to turn it off. However, it is not turning on. The battery was in condition of "needs to be replaced soon", but is there any way I can start it up?

Last night, I was listening to a podcast, and my Mac froze. The mouse would not work, and neither would any of the buttons, but the podcast continued to play as if nothing was wrong. I tried to turn it off and on with the power button, but it did not respond. I had to take out the battery and put it back in.
However, the Mac is no longer starting up. The battery was old, and needed to be replaced soon. Because I have three important exams next week, and I have all of my notes on that device, I was wondering if there was a way to get the Macbook to work again, without taking the time to replace the battery? I've tried plugging it in, but it doesn't seem to charge.
Thanks!

Does the unit not run on the charger alone? (take the battery out and plug it in.)
Try an SMC Reset

I subscribed to Music Match with iTunes and yet my ipad settings for Music only still has the option to subscribe, and therefore I cannot click on an option to Activagte iTunes Match, since it is not there. I have all the right number of songs from the icloud showing up in my ipad now, and I have played a few, but when I tried to turn off the computer, it showed a field stating that my ipad music would stop playing too, and it did. I thought this might have something to do with homesharing, but this I thought was something separate from iCloud.
There is something wrong, but I don't understand what. It has just synced, but the problem persists.

Home sharing is separate from iTunes Match. Sounds like you were playing music using home sharing, which turned off when you turned off your computer.
Open iTunes on your computer and go to the Store menu. Confirm that there is a setting called Turn Off iTunes Match. That will confirm that iTunes Match is enabled on your computer. Then check to see what Apple ID you subscribed to iTunes Match with. It will be the ID in Store>View Account (in parentheses).
On your iPad, confirm that you are signed in with this same ID in Settings>iTunes & App Store (at the top). If so, you should see an iTunes Match setting listed with an on/off slider. Slide it on to enable iTunes Match on your iPad.

When I turn off iTunes, the music keeps playing. How do I stop it?

Bought an iPod nano for use in an external source to the unit of the BMW. It works, but don't remember the place when you turn off the power and every time begins to play the playlist first.

Bought an iPod nano for use in an external source to the unit of the BMW. It works, but don't remember the place when you turn off the power and every time begins to play the playlist first.

Thanks iPod Whisperer--
I do realize that the nano will resume where I left off in my audiobook if I reload the file that was last playing.
What I was hoping is that the 6g nano would work like my previous iPods and default to the last file played the next time played after Iused sleep mode instead of going to some random song on the iPod.
Since I usually have a lot of audiobooks on my iPod--and most of those have 10-15 files in them, it's a pain to have to navigate to the correct file (and try to remember which of the 10-15 files I was last playing). On all my other iPods I could simply hit play and it would start up in the audiobook right where it left off.
Note--this only happens if I use the sleep timer to turn off the iPod. If I pause the book myself, when I turn the iPod back on it'll "remember" what file it was playing.
Hope this makes sense.

On my 4 yer old imac when I run aps/programs or on the net with my Itunes runnig everything runs super slow, turn off itunes all runs fast again, any ideas

On my 4 year old imac, when I run aps/programs or on the web "with my Itunes runnig" everything runs super slow, when I turn off itunes all runs fast again. Note I have upated all software. Any ideas out their. Thanks William

2gb of RAM is not a lot for keeping too many apps and the OS running comfortably. Have you tried running with as few apps open as possible at any one time - preferably just the one you are currently using, to see if this improves performance?
Also, you could launch Activity Monitor in the Utilities folder and it'll give you an idea of what is going on memory-wise.

When I turn off my mini, and at other random times, i get a message saying I need to restart my computer

When I turn off my mini, and at other random times, i get a simple message that says I need to restart my computer. any suggestions?

The message to restart your computer, in multiple languages, is a kernel panic. This is usually, but not always, caused by hardware, with memory being the leading cause.
You might want to run the Apple hardware test, which is on the original gray-faced OS X disks that came with the mini. FInd the one that says 'AHT Version x.x' in small print on the label, insert and reboot holding the alt/option key down. Choose the Apple hardware test, and when prompted, choose the extended test. You can also download Rember from http://kelleycomputing.net/rember/ if you want to really test the memory. Set it up and let it run over night.
See this kernel panic FAQs for other ideas: http://www.thexlab.com/faqs/kernelpanics.html

MBP goes sleep mode when ext. monitor turns off

Hi, sorry I couldn't find the exact answer, so I opened up a new topic. My MBP is connected to an external monitor with HDMI and I am using MBP with lid closed. But when I turn off the monitor, MBP goes to sleep mode. Can I prevent this? I need to let MBP work while external monitor is turned off. I tried Insomnia software but couldn't make it.
Thanks.

I have exactly this issue. I closed the lid last night and woke this morning to a very hot machine. It had not entered sleep mode.
When you close the lid, my Macbook enters sleep mode for a few seconds, then the external monitor wakes up.
If you 'force' sleep by on/off button it seems OK. Help!
PS: Should have said all this happened after upgrade to Lion yesterday.

ITunes will only play one song. I have to hit play to start a new song. I have the shuffle on and I am in a playlist. I am running Windows 7. How do I correct this to randomly play music, by itself?

That's consistent with all the tickboxes to the left of the tracks (in Song view) being unchecked.
Go into Song view and Ctrl-click one of the empty boxes to do a "global recheck".
If you can't see the tickboxes, head into your General preferences tab and select "Show list tickboxes" as per the following screenshot (it's for an earlier version of iTunes, but the boxes are in roughly the same place in the recent versions 11.x):
