Running on appletv is affecting my mac - starts itunes songs playing

My wife will be surfing the web - with itunes open so I can do appletv, and when I start doing stuff, her mac starts playing and pausing songs on the itunes and often will go to FrontRow. We never installed FrontRow - I guess it either came with the new version of itunes we moved to or was activated by appletv.

The apple remote she is using on the tv is controlling your Mac as well. You can disable the Mac's infrared receiver to prevent this from happening as explained above. If your Mac came with a remote also then you could pair one remote to the Mac and another remote to the tv. If you have only one remote then pairing won't do any good. Disabling the ir receiver would be the best bet.
Also, if the option to turn off the IR receiver is grayed out, then click on the lock in the lower left, enter your admin password and the option will become available.
Cheers

I am struggling to sync my Mac Pro iTunes songs to my iPhone 5s

I am struggling to sync my Mac Pro iTunes songs to my iPhone 5s. Please can you help? Everytime I try to sync a message pops up "Your iphone could not be synced because this computer is no longer authorized for purchased items that are on this iphone."
"To authorize this computer for items purchased from the iTunes store, choose Store > Authorize this computer".
Once I have followed instructions as above, this is what I see, "This computer is already authorised". Including this one, you have authorised one computer out of your 5 available."
Please can you help?!?!
Thanks.
Best regards.

Hello, Meloni.
Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities.
The most common cause for this issue would be media present in your library that is purchased with another Apple ID. The article below will walk you through the process of verifying if that is the case or correcting the issue if not.

When playing music on my iPhone 4 using earphones when out for a run, I select shuffle and only 3 or 4 songs play then the music stops as if I have set only 3 songs to play. How do I correct this??

When I am out for a run using earphone and a running APP I set my iphone 4 to shuffle songs but suddenly only 3-4 or 5-6 songs play and then they stop as if I set something to only play a certain number of songs from my playlist, its really irritating as I have to stop and press shuffle again, it happens with all my playlists and never mid song. This is a sudden issue as before I would just select shuffle and run and the music kept playing until I stopped it. Have I set something in error?? have looked at settings in General and in music and I am not sure what to do? any ideas??

Just realised this happens without earphones and without using the running app. My iphone will only play 2 songs when I select shuffle in any playlist, driving me mad!

Starting Itunes to play using MS Task Scheduler

Hello everybody
Does anyone know how to start Itunes and have it start play the party group using the Windows Task scheduler? I am using WinXP and the latest ITunes version.
I've tried 'itunes /play' which starts ITunes but it does not play.
is Itunes not capable of this? or am i using the wrong command line switch?
thanks for all your help in advance.

Hi LordTim,
>>However, I cannot get Access to load<<
How did you load the Access? Did you use Access object to automate the Access applicaiton?
If I understood correctly, did Access load successfully when you in a normal script?
If yes, I think the issue may relative to the Task Scheduler. I suggest that you get more effective response from
Windows Community forum about Task Scheduler issue.

Please describe the problem in as much relevant detail as possible. The "etrecheck" fad hasn't made that step any less necessary. The better your description, the better the chance of a solution.
For example, if the computer is slow, which specific actions are slow? Is it slow all the time, or only sometimes? When did it start to be slow? Did you change anything just before it started? Have you seen any alerts or error messages? Have you done anything to try to fix it? Most importantly, do you have a current backup of all data? If the answer to the last question is "no," back up now. Ask if you need guidance. Do nothing else until you have a backup.

Hi I have just bought a mac book pro 2ghz 8gb ram with haswell.also it's running maverick. I am wanting to start using logic but does it work ok with maverick everything I read says it's no good please help

Which version of Logic? I have 9, but I've yet to install it. I'm just creating the images of the disks atm to install them on my Haswell. Will let you know how that performs.
Logic 10 would most certainly work fine though.

Macbook Pro w/ Boot Camp - Best way to reformat the 32bit Windows 7 and install 64 bit version without affecting the Mac side?

Hi guys! I have a new Macbook Pro purchased from Best Buy yesterday. I had the Geek Squad upgrade the RAM to 8 gigs (They only had PNY brand, I was concerned but went with it anyway). I had them install Boot Camp Windows 7 Ultimate. Today I picked it up and when I started playing with it I learned that they installed the 32 bit version of Win 7 Ultimate instead of the 64 bit version, why, I have NO IDEA.
So, I want to replace the Win 7 installation with the 64 bit version but have read that this can be tricky. What is the proper way to do this? I'm not sure I trust the Geek Squad to do this for me.
I assume I need to reformat the Windows partition, defragment and then install the 64 bit version of Win 7 Ultimate, but am not completely sure. I want to be sure that I do NOT do anything that could affect the Mac side
What do you guys think?

I think you should take it back to the Geeks and tell them what you want, I also think you should backup before you do.
You do not need to reformat or repartition, you need to reinstall Windows from a 64bit copy, 32 & 64 have identical requirements as far as partition and format go, defragmenting has nothing at all to do with your needs.

Database error #2002 can not connect local mysql server to socket through '/var/run/mysqld/mysqld.sock'(2) on mac os x 10.9.2

Dear Fellas:
I received "database error #2002 can not connect local mysql server to socket through '/var/run/mysqld/mysqld.sock'(2)" on mac os x 10.9.2.
mysql info:

Please help!!

Fascinated and guessing:
Something related to sock(2) because that's not part of your copied info. I'm thinking you've doubled up on sockets and the second socket doesn't exist, meaning you should be connecting to the first socket "mysqld.sock" whether automatic or not.
I've only used GUI tools on purpose, so does this mean you've already got MySQL running and you tried to launch it again manually? Perhaps you already have one instance of a db and you're trying to launch a second instance, and the two can't coexist with a single user local db?
Assuming this is all local, I'd shut down the db service and restart it, out of hand. I've seen similar messages when I set the db to start up on boot, and it didn't finish shutting down when I tried to restart it manually. Usually the GUI won't let me turn it on because it reports it's already running, but in that case it hadn't finished performing what the GUI was reporting.
Just speculating.

I do hope you have recent backup, because it look like your hard disk is failing. You can start up in Recovery Mode, and run Disk Utility to see if the disk can be fixed: OS X: About OS X Recovery - Apple Support

ITunes Setup Assistant runs every time I start iTunes 7.3.1.3

The past 2 iterations of iTunes have had the same problem for me - even though the program is installed already, it doesn't save my settings and runs the setup assistant every time I start the application. I've gone through the assistant twice and put everything as I had it previously but, once I close the program and restart, the assistant pops up again and my settings are gone. I never had this problem until 7.3 or 7.3.1 and it's very frustrating... (>_<)<br>
IBM T43 Windows XP Pro 2.0 ghz Pentium M, 1 gig ram

Well, iTunes appears to finally work correctly. I don't know exactly why this is but it's due to one of three possible things. First, I uninstalled the 2 programs that I had installed to monitor what music I played for their services. These programs were Last.fm for Windows Version 1.3.1.1 iTunes plugin version 2.0.11.0 and Virb.com iTunes Plugin Version 1.0.0.5. Finally, instead of using the Apple Software Update on my computer as I had previously, this time I went directly to Apple's website, downloaded the entire iTunes + Quicktime install package, and reinstalled from that. After doing so, the Setup Assistant ran again but finally remembered my altered settings upon program restart. Now that iTunes was working properly, I have reinstalled both plugins and they now appear to function properly without negatively affecting iTunes. I hope this helps people who have also installed plugins to monitor their music listening patterns and had problems with the latest iTunes update.

All,
A very interesting NOTE to this thread. In order to try and get the "ignore permissions" box to show up in GET INFO (so I could execute Matt the Magician's solution to file sharing issues)-- I ran the terminal command for disabling ACLs on my internal HD / start up disk (as indicated in the linked thread to BDAqua's forum).
Although I understand that this was useless for disabling permissions on the start up disk (as everyone here pointed out) and allowing me to see the "ignore permissions" check box - somehow it did seem to fix my file sharing problem...and that was the root problem I wanted solved in the first place! After doing the terminal command and a quick reboot, I went in and tested file sharing on the chosen directory and I can create new files or work from existing files in the directory, with both users being able to modify / and save from both machines and each machine sees the revisions and can build from them. Bottom line - I'm stoked and want to thank everyone for their help.
The only other tweak I made was going over to my wife's machine and instead of using her log in / password, I just used my name and password to connect to my main machine that was sharing directories. Maybe that's what fixed the problem or the ACL disable but either way...I'm up and running the way I want to be.
Hope this thread helps anyone else who has these file sharing / permissions issues with Leopard. Especially for anyone wanting to do such a simple file sharing set up between 2 computers. I wish I understood exactly which tweak fixed the problem, but at least it works the way I want now.
So happy to be done w/this one!
Thx everyone. Any additional input on what solved it is welcome, so my curiosity is quelled...

Mac starts up by itself at 1 am some nights... Can anyone help me stop this from happening based on reading my system log messages?

My Mac starts itself automatically around 1:00 am about ever other night. I don't want it to do that. I had a backup program installed once that was set to do the backup at that time, but I have long since uninstalled that program. Yet the computer still powers on automatically. I checked in the control panels and don't see it set to do that. I used the Console program to check my log, but I don't know how to read what it says. Here are the log messages from the last time the computer started itself automatically:

Can anyone help me get to the root of this problem?

Hi Edwardo,
Perhaps there's remnants of that App you're not aware of... what was it?
One way to test is to Safe Boot from the HD, (holding Shift key down at bootup), run Disk Utility in Applications>Utilities, then highlight your drive, click on Repair Permissions, Test for problem in Safe Mode...
PS. Safe boot may stay on the gray radian for a long time, let it go, it's trying to repair the Hard Drive
Reboot, test again.
If it only does it in Regular Boot, then it could be some hardware problem like Video card, (Quartz is turned off in Safe Mode), or Airport, or some USB or Firewire device, or 3rd party add-on, Check System Preferences>Accounts (Users & Groups in later OSX versions)>Login Items window to see if it or something relevant is listed.
Check the System Preferences>Other Row, for 3rd party Pref Panes.
Also look in these if they exist, some are invisible...
