ITunes switched to Chinese on its own

My iTunes switched to Chinese on its own and I do not know how to switch it back. I tried going to my macbook's system preferences, but my language is already set to English. I've restarted both iTunes and my computer and nothing has worked!

OK, let us know if that takes care of the problem. Also if you are in the habit of turning off your compute when you're done with it for the day please read your owner's manual again. It isn't necessary to turn it off, on page 15 of the current models it says;
Putting Your iMac to Sleep
If you‘ll be away from your iMac for less than a few days, put it to sleep. When your iMac is in sleep, its screen is dark. You can quickly wake your iMac and bypass the startup process.
I (and many others) are in the habit of leaving their machines on 24/7. I let mine sleep when not being used, it been doing this for about 4 years and has been 100% reliable. Just a thought!

Iphone 5 keeps switching to silent on its own

My Iphone 5 is stuck on silent mode, or more accurately it keeps switching to silent on its own.
The problem started about 2 days ago, after upgrading to iOS 7.1 last week. The phone keeps switching in and out of silent mode (without the button being touched) and mostly stays in silent. It's not a speaker problem, nor a settings problem, as I’ve checked every bit of online advice I could find. I tried restarting, resetting, restoring, cleaning the headphone jack, and nothing helps.
An attempt to see if it’s a headphone related issue (by plugging and unplugging while restarting in various combinations) got it working fine for about 5 minutes, then it switched back to silent.
Needless to say, the phone did not suffer from any physical damage prior to the problem.

I have the identical problem, and it started when I upgraded as well.
Trips to the AT&T store, and to Apple twice have not been able to solve. (Other than telling me for $300 they would replace it since my phone is 6 months past the 1 year warranty) All the resetting, wiping, even restoring to factory defaults using iTunes from the computer have failed. I finally had a tech open it and look at it, and it's pristine.
I've suspected software since the problem started occurring, because it is so random, and the fact that the speaker, mic, headphone, etc... all work fine.
Just while it's sitting on the desk, it will jump back and forth from silent to ring mode, but mostly stays in silent.
I'm convinced this is a bug

I have a iphone4s and an ipod 4th gen, they both share same itunes acc, the ipod has its own email but when people try to FT it also rings on my phone, how do i stop it ringing both devices

i have a iphone4s and an ipod 4th gen, they both share same itunes acc, the ipod has its own email but when people try to FT it also rings on my phone, how do i stop it ringing both devices

That's because you're using the same Apple ID on both devices. On your phone: Settings>FaceTime>You Can Be Reached at>Remove your Apple ID.

When I switch off my iPhone 4S it gets switched on immidiately on its own

When I switch off my iPhone 4S it gets switched on immidiately on its own..plzz suggest me what can I do?

You may have a faulty power button. Take it to an Apple store for an evaluation.

ITunes keeps turning on on its own??

Why does the latest iTunes keeps turning on on its own?? I'm not plugging in any devices or anything else. I close it and after a few minutes it pops up again. (Already re-installed, problem still there on two separate PC's)

You should know that P2P clients, like LimeWire or Acquisition, will open iTunes right after they finish downloading a song. They do that to import the song to your iTunes Library, and add it to the playlist LimeWire music or Acquisition or whatever the name of the program.
So, if you leave a P2P program downloading music, it will open iTunes immediately after it fully downloads an audio track.

When I switch back to an ongoing application, from the switcher, it reverts to its own 'homepage' rather than the stay at the state/stage I left it at. How can I force applications to maintain the current state?

I am in the process of getting enough screenshots to demonstrate further.

Hey adinat,
Welcome to Apple Support Communities! I would go through the steps in the iPhone troubleshooting assistant and see if that resolves the issue you're experiencing on your iPhone 5:

HT1338 Switching to Login on its own

Hi All, when running my MacBook Pro, (2.3 GHz Intel Core i7, 8GB 1600 MHz DDR3, Mac OSX V10.7.5) it sometimes switches to the login screen all on its own, when I log back in all apps startup again but from a closed state and I may loose any changes made to documents etc, iTunes will not start where it left off etc. I am typically running 5 or 6 applications say email, iTunes, iPhoto, Safari, Skype and sometimes others, I may have my iPod or iPhone plugged in or syncing but there doesn’t seem to be any particular combination or reason. Does anyone else have this or have you managed to resolve it?

Itunes changes genre information on its own

Often I find that when I begin playing a song, iTunes will change (or have changed prior to launch) the information that I have already stored for that song. i.e., if I double click a song to play it, iTunes will change the genre to something else on its own, and then I have to go and change it again to what I wanted it to be. Is there a way to turn this off, or prevent it from happening? It's really causing me headaches.

I literally just noticed this. Played a song out of music and was like "***!" as I watched it immediately change the genre. Opened info and changed it back. Dbl-clicked to play it and watch it change AGAIN.
One artist, with 9 albums, all bought in iTMS. ALL exhibit the same behavior. Just bought their latest album VIA AMAZON, did everything I usually do after buying an album - select full album, open info and change everything to what my smart playlists expect. Closed. NONE of the songs change genre on play.
So, this issue only appears to be w/ songs purchased from the iTMS. I did seem to figure out how to stop this at least. Instead of changing the genre in the info dialog, change it FOR EACH INDIVIDUAL SONG in the music list by editing the genre cell for that song. ROYAL PITA but it seems to stick at least for now.
Since I usually buy an album, edit for smart playlists and then listen via playlists, I can only imagine HOW MANY OF MY SONGS I'VE GONE TO THE EFFORT TO TAG THAT HAVE BEEN CHANGED WITHOUT MY KNOWING. WHAT IS THIS!?!?! WINDOWS?!?!? IF YOU'RE GOING TO DO THAT, DON'T LET US WASTE OUR TIME EDITING FIELDS!!!!
So. Anyway. Hope that helps you out Bri Guy. I now have to track down all songs from the last 5 years apparently and manually fix each one by hand.
Needless to say I will NEVER buy any music from the iTMS again.

ITunes creates duplicate tracks on its own

Hello everyone,
I noticed recently that iTunes is creating duplicate tracks on its own. The new “tracks” all reference to the same file. Sometimes there are up to 4 duplicates (see screenshot). As you can see on the far right of the image, it seems that every time I ran iTunes the tracks are added.
I did not change anything recently, but noticed that iTunes also updates my Cover Art, even though I explicitly unchecked the checkbox the settings…might be connected to my issue.
Any advice is much appreciated!
regards

Is the media folder stored on an external drive? If you start iTunes with an external disconnected it will "notice" and mark all tracks as missing. If you then add media by scanning folders it won't notice that it is already connected to the files and will add them again. Next time you start iTunes you can have two tracks linked to the same physical file.
How do you normally add media to the library?
To check your library for duplicates use Shift > View > Show Exact Duplicates as this is normally a more useful selection. Keep holding down shift until you have clicked on the text Show Exact Duplicates or it may still use the loser definition. If you don't see a menu bar press Ctrl+B to reveal it or Alt to show it temporarily.
If you find that you have true duplicates you need to manually select all but one of each group to remove, or use my DeDuper script if you don't want to do it by hand. The script attempts to take account of different types of duplicates which need to be handled differently, merges playcounts and preserves playlist membership. Please take note of the warning to backup your library before deduping. See this thread for background.
iTunes doesn't generally do much in the way of background media updates, but it may reveal those enacted by something else, such as Windows Media Player.

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?

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?

ITunes 8.1 launching on its own repeatedly

I have yet to see anything recent on this, so I'm asking here.
Since upgrading to iTunes 8.1, I have noticed it will launch without provocation. I have set Podcasts to update Manually. I do not appear to have any iTunes clients running in the background. I have not attached any iPod or iPhone device to the Mac. It seems no matter what I do, iTunes will launch on its own. Feature? Bug?
Would two users running iTunes Helpers cause any problems? I just logged out a user account that had a second iTunes Helper running. I'm not sure if that will help.

I should note that a reboot cleared up the issue. It might have something to do with two instances of iTunes Helper running at the same time. Also, my wife and I have separate active logins on this iMac most of the time. I will try to recreate the problem, but for now, it's "fixed."

Does iTunes have a mind of its own?

I would like to preface this by saying that I do not want to see, hear, touch, taste, or smell iTunes unless I choose to open iTunes from the start menu. The one and only reason in the entire world that I even have it installed on any computer that I use is because my iPhone won't sync with anything else that i know of.
I have done everything I see to do to keep this program from opening by itself. I have turned off updates and perform them manually. I have all media file extensions set to open in Windows Media Player. WMP is set to be my default media player. According to all the options I see, iTunes should not be opening... but it does! All the time! When I open a move, the movie opens in WMP... 10 seconds after WMP opens, iTunes opens. What is it doing? Nothing. It opens and displays my library while WMP is still open playing the movie I chose. Furthermore, when I attempt to close it it pauses for some time before alerting me that "one or more applications is still using the scripting interface..."
To summarize:
When I open a media file it opens in windows media player.
When windows media player opens iTunes opens.
iTunes does not close immediately because it claims something is using it's scripting interface.
I do not want itunes to open unless I open it.
What can I do to fix this?
Is there an alternative utility I can use to sync with my iPhone?
There are no plugins in iTunes, my phone is not attached to my system in these instances, itunes is up to date, windows media player is up to date, windows vista is up to date, and I don't appear to have any driver issues.

Not sure what you do in Vista, it might be the same as XP. click the start button, then open the run window. type msconfig.
Here you will find an interface where you can change what automatically starts on your computer. Be warned though, do not turn off items willy nilly or your computer might not boot correctly.
In the startup section you will see all sorts of programs that are started when you boot. From experience nearly all programs these days want to "own" your pc.
The installer programs want to make sure their program is used over others. If you look down the list you will see what iTunes stuff is loading, you can uncheck all of this as it is not necessary and only takes up RAM. iTunes will load perfectly well without this "assistance".
I would advise you to google up on the msconfig options and turn off most of the ones that programs run. Exceptions would be virus/malware scanners etc. Some common ones that run are Adobe stuff like acrobat reader, MS office assistance like fast find, also imaging software tends to do this. That's why you see icons appear in the system tray. Sometimes programs are run from the registry and are much harder to stop at start up.
In my view with so much RAM available these days it is totally unnecessary for programmers to do this.

ITunes producer will not upload its own files?

I have tried to publish through the publish process from within IBooks as well as outside of it through Itunes producer. Both stop me at the final upload process. The file that Itunes producer made of my ibook, early in the publish process, is grayed out as well as my ibooks file. I get no message of error, just gray out files that cannot be uploaded.
Appreciate any help I can get! I just downloaded the updated Itunes producer I'm running OS X 10.9.
Thanks!

Rather than remark on your issues, because you mention files etc but not if they are iba .ibooks or .itmps, perhaps some process tips may help.
When the book is finished, save it and export it ... if you are using one, same applies to your sample/ preview.
I find its better to have all the screen shots, cover page image and the the "mybook".ibooks exported book files on one folder
You can either use "Publish" in iBooksAuthor or open iTunesProducer to start tbe delivery process.
Some have made the mistake of trying to deliver the .iba file..which is wrong, it has to be the .ibooks file.
You say your are stopped at the final upload process... what error message?
Did you fill in everything required in iTunes Producer. You need to fill in all form fields, author, publisher, categories etc.
Your screenshots and cover need to comply with the assets guide. ie either, 1024 x 768 or 2048 x 1536 and the cover image needs to be 1400 on the width.
You need a preview/ sample book or elect to state a chapter of at least 15 pages or allow the delivery process to select a preview.
You should also stay with the same .itmps ( iTunes Producer) file. using two with the same info will cause you problems.

ITunes app starts playing on its own

Hi! I am running an iPad mini 3 as I just upgraded from an iPad mini two weeks ago. I kept both iPads up-to-date with all software from Apple. But just before I upgraded, both the iPad mini and now my new iPad mini 3 started playing iTunes music with the app closed completely! I can be driving in my car with a car stereo that is not Bluetooth listening to music and all of a sudden my iPad, that is laying on the passenger seat while I drive starts playing music!!! It can either be from my library or the ITunes radio. So I hit the home button twice so that I can find the app and slide it up to close it and it's not even open!!!! I have to actually open iTunes so that I can slide it up and close it so it will stop playing music. But randomly it will start playing music again!! To me this sounds like a big bug. I am running the latest version of iTunes.
I spent an hour and a half on the phone with an Apple support rep a week ago Monday. In the end the only thing she could suggest was that I have my Bluetooth option turned on in Settings on the iPad and that was why it started playing my music . However I turned Bluetooth off which was linked to a Bluetooth speaker on my visor for phone calls. I also turned off the Motorola Bluetooth and even with it off, the music just randomly starts playing like it has a poltergeist affiliation!!
I was trying to find a place to report this bug but I'm just gonna post it here so if anyone has any suggestions I'd love to hear them! I have upgraded to IOS 8.3 now and it's still doing it. It's really really annoying! I can't even hear my Waze app reports on traffic because the music drowns it out.
Thanks!
Jeannie
P.S. Another thing that I spent an hour on a separate call with support for was that when you slide the control section up from the bottom of the home screen there was no lock whatsoever to change the orientation of my camera. It kept staying in portrait mode and would not take a picture horizontally!! They have changed the location and how you set your lock rotation for horizontal versus vertical. While on that one hour support call it was actually me that finally figured out the issue.
In General under Settings there is an option for the slide switch. The options are lock rotation or mute. Mine was on mute because one would think if you have mute selected that means you're not going to hear any notifications or if you're using the phone app you're not going to hear the phone ring. So I did not want my sounds muted so I selected lock rotation. In hind sight it actually says the slide lock will mute. But it can easily be assumed to novices such as myself with Apple products (because I'm new to them) that it's going to mute all sounds when that option is checked whether or not you slide the switch. While on that phone call with support I selected mute instead and then my camera finally rotated the way I wanted when I went to take a picture. I think there should be a better explanation for users as to what mute versus lock rotation will actually do. And my sounds were not muted because I didn't slide the slide switch on the top of the iPad. It even didn't make sense to the support rep!!! Just FYI

If you were listening to the iheartradio app when you received the call then it will pause the music during the call and resume playing when the call is finished.
