Music not from Itunes starts to play in background

I am unable to find the source of music that starts to play. This is not anything in my Itunes library, Itunes is not on when this occurs. I tried using Activity Monitor to see the source but no clues, could this be malware, or a virus, the music starts to play after browsing on safari and playing a news clip, or video. Any thoughts, this is driving me nuts.

Thank you, I looked at the dashboard and there are pasted images and clips of pokemon characters and when I place the cursor over them, the music starts to play. I left my work computer unlocked on saturday and my seven year old son went surfing the net and found a pokemon web site and he told me he was clicking on lots of things. I now enabled the password setting on the screen saver to keep this from happening again.

  • Music not from iTunes

    hi i was just wondering if i can put music onto my ipod nano that is not from iTunes. i am having great difficulty

    u gotta play around more with iTunes functions if you're not familiar. In fact, I am a newbie myself, just got my Nano last week. U'd probably need to create a new playlist in your Nano, and just drag&drog any files from iTune library to your new playlist. On the other hand, I suggest you read up the iTune manuals, would be easier for you to get around iTune. Hope this helps

  • Paid for downloaded music (not from Itunes store) is not showing up in my library s usual. Neither are imported Cds. what gives?

    Paid for (not from Itunes store) music downloaded not showing up in library as usual. Imported CD also not appearing as usual. What gives?

    I have seen 3 potential solutions in this forum
    1) If you are using iTunes Match Store > Update iTunes Match
    2) Logging out of itunes store and logging in again
    3) Downloading Free single of the week - no idea why this should work but people have reported it does

  • How may I prevent loss of Music - not from iTunes - on a new computer?

    The original iTunes Library I had for my iPod Touch was on a computer that has broken down.
    I am concerned about what I'm reading in the iTunes HELP files, because I see no way to prevent loss of my non-purchased (at least from iTunes) music when syncing with a newly authorized computer. I do not have all of the original CDs anymore for most of this music.
    I have just installed iTunes on this new computer & wish to save ALL current iPod Touch content into this new and empty iTunes Library!  What must I do to save my non-purshased content?
    I did just do a BACKUP of my iPod contents but have stopped there, not knowing if it will contain everything...  What now?
    THANKS!

    Well, I really do appreciate your input Kappy.  When it comes to doing backups, your info is correct and, in general, very helpful.  I am suspicious, however if it will actually have any bearing on the iTunes interaction and what iTunes will allow me to place into the new library.
    As for iTunes and what it will allow - or not allow, I'm not sure that the backup will allow me to slip it into the library per se.  I thinking that it's an iTunes issue instead of a backup issue, but maybe not...
    If I had any other model than a Touch, I believe I could use the iPod as a hard drive and transfer accordingly, but having a Touch, I do think my original question remains unanswered.
    Thanks again!

  • How did I add my new music (not from itunes) on my phone?

    I downloaded some music from another location. It is showing up in my itunes, but when I plug my iphone 5 into the computer, my new music isn't showing up. How do i sync this new music to my phone? This phone has been giving me so many problems and is driving me crazy!!

    There's a couple of ways to get through to the authorisation controls in the 11.0.x versions.
    The control is still in the Store menu, but first (if you're using iTunes versions 11.0.x) you might need to bring up the menu bar to see the Store menu.
    If you're using 11.0.x, click on the wee boxy icon up in the top-left corner of your iTunes to see the "Show Menu Bar" control, as per the following screenshot:
    Then you'll find the control in the Store menu:
    Alternatively, if you don't want to bring up the menu bar, it's still possible to get into the authorise controls via nested menus accessible from the wee boxy icon. Here's a screenshot of where to find them:

  • My IPhone 4 deleted all my music not from ITunes

    When it deleted all my music I synced it up with my computer and got all my songs back but it mixed up all the album covers. Anyone know how to fix it

    I realize that you posted this in July, but I had the exact same problem and just talked to Apple Care and they helped me fix it.
    What you need to do is:
    1. Plug in your iPhone, click on it on the sidebar, and then click the music tab.
    2. Uncheck "Sync Music" in the upper lefthand corner.
    3. Answer yes to the "Are you sure you want to delete all of your music?" question.
    4. Recheck "Sync Music."
    5. Click apply in the bottom righthand corner.
    6. If it doesn't start syncing or doing something automatically, hit sync.
    Mine took about 3 minutes to start showing that the syncing was happening e.g., "Copying 1 of 3655 to Lily's iPhone," so be a little patient.
    Hope this helps!

  • Had to have my hard drive rebuilt in my PC (not Mac). When I reinstalled my music library from iTunes, several of the songs did not download properly - they appear in light colored ink on my library list but the songs will not play and will not synch

    Had to have my hard drive rebuilt in my PC (not a Mac).  When I reinstalled my music library from itunes, some of the songs did not properly download.  They appear in light colored ink, but will not play and will not synch with my iPod.  How can I get all of my songs back?

    If your country's iTunes Store allows you to redownload purchased tracks, I'd delete your current copies of the dodgy tracks and try redownloading fresh copies. For instructions, see the following document:
    Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
    Otherwise, I'd report the problem to the iTunes Store.
    Log in to the Store. Click on "Account" in your Quick Links. When you're in your Account information screen, go down to Purchase History and click "See all".
    Find the items that are not playing properly. If you can't see "Report a Problem" next to the items, click the "Report a problem" button. Now click the "Report a Problem" links next to the items.

    As long as you use your computer like King Penguin stated for Report a Problem, you should be fine. If you can't get to your computer, are not using your computer, or your computer is not longer in the mix since you have been using your iPad, email iTunes support about the problem.
