ITunes screensaver: Disable the play album feature?

In Lion, the iTunes screensaver now plays any album you click but my habit is to click my trackpad or mouse to wake up my mac which inevitably launches iTunes in the background and of course hangs my system for several seconds before playing the music.
Is there any way to get back to the old screensaver where it woke immediately on mouse movement? Even just editing a .plist file would be a fine solution but I'm not familiar with the structure of the screensaver.
Any help is appreciated.

Yes, I have the same problem. I love the screensaver but would like to stop the music launch.

I have no idea how to fix this and can't find mention of anyone else having a similar problem.
Any suggestions?

Click on a station and drag to the left. The playlists sidebar will open up. Drop on the playlist you want to add to.

My AppleTv keeps dimming as if it is in energy saver mode. My DVD player and TV do not do this. How do I disable the energy saver feature on AppleTv? BTW this is my second AppleTV device so it does not appear to be a product defect.

I keep seeing versions of this same question, and it's always the same answer: it's the TV. Well, it happens to me as well. But it only happens when viewing programming via Apple TV. My cable is totally fine: no dimming. Only with Apple TV. So what's the answer?

How to stop the Play now feature?

I have scheduled a presentation and a playlist both through the play now feature of the DMM. I can not seem to figure out how you actually stop the content from playing. I can send something else to it via future content. However now if I try to delete the presentation or play list I get a message saying that it cannot because it is already scheduled. How can I go about removing these?
Also I am not a professional at creating the content for this system but my boss wants to be create some professional type content. Is there a resource for maybe downloading more templates or even something for helping me go about creating some nice looking presentations?
Thank you in advace!

Hi Glen, the way I have halted "play now" content is by stopping all application for the dmp.
navigate to Digital Media Players in the Digital Media Manager. Check off the dmps that you want to halt content for. Click the dropdown under Actions, scroll to the bottom & select 'stop all application', click Go.
hope this helps.

If you want to "turn-off" the Play Drums extension without uninstalling it from your system, you should disable it. If you completely want to get rid of Play Drums, you should uninstall it.

Is it possible to disable the play button when exporting to exe or app files?

Is it possible to disable the play button when exporting to exe or app files? Can the app just boot up without the playbutton?

Are you talking about auto play option or the play button on Playbar?
I just checked the EXE ran fine without requiring any play button to start as per my settings.
Is this waht you are looking to achieve?
Thanks,

You can dismiss it by tapping the solid blue bookmark. You can avoid it all together by making Favorites of your bookmarks then enabling the Show Favories Bar.

HT1923 how do I retrieve and reinstall a deleted iTunes song to the appropriate Album?

How to retrieve and reinstall a deleted iTune song to the appropriate album?

Please read before going through with this procedure.
If you really want your contact back and you did not do another iCloud backap since you deleted some of your contacts, you can do a hard reboot on both devices with iClouded contacts by holding down the home and lock buttons on each of them for 10 seconds ignoring the slide to turn off thing. Make sure you have iCloud contact services off before doing so. You can then go through the whole set up process until you get up to the backup part. You then press to restore from an iCloud backup (make sure you choose the right backup for the right phone). If you didn't make an iCloud backup before the contact incident, you will have to use your two-month-old iTunes backups. Each phone should have their contacts the way they were from your last backup. You then go into Settings>iCloud>and turn off contacts. You then can choose if you want to keep your current contacts or not. Turn this off on both phones just incase you add another iCloud device to the mix later on. Now your contact lists are no longer linked (Caution: side effect may include lack of edit button). You may now add and delete contacts as you please without it happening on your other phone.
Thank you for choosing Apple.

Can i disable the call forwarding feature?

can i disable the call forwarding feature?

I have read the thread, I wrote it.
When you have read the thread you will see that it was suggested that you can't restrict this because it is part of the iOS. I then pointed out that there are a nomber of features which are part of the iOS which can be disabled or restricted either using the restrictions setting on the phone or the iPhone configuration tool, so this comment alone does not mean that it is not possible.
You then suggested that i download the config tool and let you know if this worked.
So as of this moment we still have no positive confirmation from anybody that this is not possible.

ITunes 11.1.5 - Playing albums one after another

Hey Apple Peeps,
Never done this support forum thing before, but here goes- and apologies in advance if I do not respond promptly, I'm pretty knackered and about to hit the sack after I post this!
So, I updated iTunes recently and now it seeems that when I'm in album mode, playback stops after the last song of any album.
I want to just keep playback going, not much to ask.
Any ideas??

I think I just answered my own question: Is it true you can only playback albums continuously (sequentially) in 'songs' mode? That way is working, but it lacks the larger graphic detail that 'album' mode has. I miss the cover flow feature Apple have ditched - great for identifying tracks without squinting - particularly on shuffle.
Talking of which, I seem to have deduced that you can start shuffle in song mode and the window jumps to each new track, but if you switch to album mode, though the songs still shuffle, you have to command-L each time to view what is 'now playing'. Anyone know if you can make the window update for each song selection in album mode when using shuffle?
