My Apple TV controller turns on the iTunes on my Mac.

My Apple TV controller activates ITunes on my Mac. When I am navigating thru Netflix this is very annoying to have music coming on & off, I don't have home sharing enabled. Is there a trick to stopping this?

Yes, turn off the infrared receiver of your Mac in System Preferences. Your Mac is responding to the remote.
The option to turn it off is in the System security settings panel.

I can't open almost any app on my iMac (OSX Lion 10.7.4). Every time I attempt to do so, the app "unexpedtely quits" and can't go further. This happens with iTunes (when I turn to the iTunes Store), MacApp Store, Software updates an many other apps...

I can't open almost any app on my iMac (OSX Lion 10.7.4). Every time I attempt to do so, the affected app "unexpedtely quits", showing a window (sort of expanded dialog box) with the log history, wich form a complete report wich is said to be sent to Apple. Despite that this window has a "restart" button, I haven't been able to go any further from this point, as it repeats the process again and again, impeding me to use the affected app.
This has get to a critical point, as it is afecting apps like iTunes (especifically when I turn to the iTunes Store from within te app), MacApp Store, Software Updates (I can't update anything, given this problem) and many other apps, including Aperture 3, Fusion 4, integrated Dictionary and Wikipedia, as I've been able to verify.
As far as I'm concerned, it hasn't affected apps like Office, Vectorworks, Pixelmator, iDraw, Quick Note...
Can anybody help me on this matter?
Thanks a lot, in advance...

Use Lion Recovery to repair the startup disk if necessary, or reinstall the Mac OS X.

Turn off the iTunes and App Store links

How do you turn off the iTunes and App Store links? I need to do it show that storeagent will stop using so much of my cpu.

Apple menu -> System Preferences -> Accounts
Select the "My Account" account, and select Login Items.
Remove iTunes helper.
When you are done troubleshooting use the Go menu to get iTunes helper back in the startup items to go to folder, and type this as the path to your folder:
/Applications/iTunes.app/Contents/Resources
There you'll find the iTunes Helper, which you can drag and drop back into the Login Items.

Hello there Jameskuo47,
In researching the issue you are experiencing I found an article that should help get your iTunes Match content to your iPhone. The name of the article is iTunes: How to add a computer or iOS device to iTunes Match and you can find it here: http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4913.
This section specifically:
To add an iOS device to iTunes Match
On your iOS device, go to Settings > Music.
Note:
iTunes Match requires iOS 5.0.1 or later; you can find the
latest iOS software here'
Tap the iTunes Match switch to On.To access your music in iCloud, open the Music Player app on your device.
Your music in iCloud will be integrated into your local music library. A download button will appear to the right of any content that you have in iCloud that doesn't already exist on your device.
Important:
When enabling iTunes Match on your iOS device, the music library on your iOS device will be deleted and then replaced with your music in iCloud.
Syncing music with iTunes will be disabled while iTunes Match is enabled on your iOS device.
By default, when adding an iOS device to iTunes Match, downloading over a cellular network is enabled1. To disable downloading over cellular for iTunes Match, choose Settings > Music > Use Cellular Data > Off.
All the best,
Sterling

How do I switch my apple Id I use in the iTunes store to the one I have on iCloud?

how do I switch my apple Id I use in the iTunes store to the one I have on iCloud?

You can simply sign out and sign in with the different ID. However, if you have any protected media - movies, or songs purchased before they stopped protecting them - you will not be able to play them, so in that case you are rather stuck.
You can't merge accounts or transfer iTunes purchases from one Apple ID to another: but there is no problem about using two IDs. Use your iCloud ID for iCloud for syncing email, contacts, calendars, bookmarks, and PhotoStream; use your other Apple ID as before for iTunes, iTunes in the Cloud and iTunes Match.
There's no conflict about doing this, and you won't even notice as Keychain will log you in with the correct ID in each case. It's also better security not to have your iTunes login also your email address, given the number of complaints about hacked iTunes accounts.

For the last 2days when I attempt to rent a movie And my Apple TV attempts to access the iTunes Store I get a message can't connect to server, try again later. I can connect to Netflix, Hulu and all other services. Any help appreciated.

For the last 2 days when I try to rent a movie on my Apple TV the Apple TV attempts to access the iTunes Store and then I get a message saying Apple TV cannot connect to the server at this time. Please try again later. I have no trouble connecting to Netflix, Hulu or any of the other apps. I also have no trouble connecting to the iTunes Store using my iPhone or iPad. I have also tried restarting the Apple TV and my router. Any help will be appreciated.

I have a similar problem. After a recent update I cannot access the iTunes Store to resubscribe to Hulu. "Cannot access iTunes Store at this time." Dunno what to do.

Download the lnk registry fix from www.sevenforums.com/tutorials/19449-default-file-type-associations-restore.html. Reinstall iTunes. Should you find that all of your desktop shortcuts have again turned into links to the iTunes application apply the patch.

Why can't sign in in the apple store using my apple id? but from the itunes application in my computer which i downloaded, i can use my apple id to sign in...and while opening my apple store it appears blank..i don't know what happened?

It's a straightforward port-forwarding issue.
You need to forward ports to the internal ip address of your apple tv as follows:
TCP 123
TCP 3689
UDP 5353
TCP 80
TCP 4343
TCP 53
This may also solve other problems you may have with homesharing...

ITS Content Cannot Sync Because Apple TV could not contact the iTune Store

No wonder it's still a hobby. Once again, I woke up to discover that all my synced iTS content had simply disappeared from my Apple TVs [third time this has happened with over 100gb of content), and neither one of them was appearing in my iTunes "control" Mac mini. Both of them. Photos and non-iTS music were still there, that is, until I had to disconnect/reconnect to my mini, in which case I had to start from scratch. Upon rebooting the ATVs, the rental video content was available, but when I tried to re-sync my purchased content libraries, I get this message: "Some of the items were not copied to the Apple TV because the Apple TV could not contact the iTunes store to authorize." Checked my account. It's fine. Actually then tested a rental and a purchase from the Apple TV, and that worked fine, so obviously my network can access the iTS and so can the ATV. But when I try to sync, ATV claims it cannot access the iTS. This is happening on both. So, I quit iTunes and remove the iTunes plist files and start over. Same story!

So, after searching more here, I decided to try an authorize/deauthorize/authorize set of steps; the computer itself was already properly authorized, but what the heck. Presto.

i have only had my imac 27in a week my problem is my iphone and ipad are perfectly synced with i tunes but the itunes on my mac is empty i plugged them both in but it stays the same what can i do anyone know please

Try disabling the computer's antivirus and firewall for the network problem.
Also for the original problem try the following if Ana's suggestions does not work
Try:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
- If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
- Try on another computer
- If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

I have an ipod that is synced with an old PC, and now I have a Mac and I want the ipod to sync the photos on it with the Itunes on my Mac, but it says it was synced with another ipod. How can I accomplish this?

I have an ipod that is synced with an old PC, and now I have a Mac and I want the ipod to sync the photos on it with the Itunes on my Mac, but it says it was synced with another ipod. How can I accomplish this?

Is it the same user/iTunes account or...?
Syncing to a new computer should give you the opportunity to replace the exisiting contents with the new.

I can't download the itunes in my mac book

I can't download the itunes in my mac book,What can I do?

There is a OneClickdigital ereader available in the App Store. Download that to your iPod to read pdfs and books from the library. And you might need to download the OneClickdigital eaudio player to listen to audiobooks from the library. Once both are downloaded sync you iPod again to transfer them.
