Seeing someone elses music directory?

I am connecting iPod to a computer with a wireless connection. When I do, someone else's playlist appears in addition to mine.
What is going on and why does this happen?
Thanks

Go into your Preferences and disable the 'Shared Music' option.
You may be picking up someone else's iTunes via your Internet connection.

HT4527 If i restored my iphone and lost all my music, how can I get my music back when im on another computer? My last computer broke, and this is a family members..Can I just sign in and find my music? Or how do I do it when this is someone elses laptop?

I need help, I couldnt get into my iphone because I forgot the password and I couldnt hook my iphone up to the computer with all my music on it. So im wondering how to redownload that music from another computer that had already had someone elses account programed into it. I can almost get my purchased music but it says im not authorized. I DONT KNOW WHAT to do

If your music was purcansed from the iTunes Store and your country allow is you can redownload it
Login to itunes as yourself on this computer then
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2519
You will also need to authorise that computer so you can play the content.
Ctrl B to turn on the top menu
Store > Authorise this Computer...
Type in your Apple ID and password and authorise.

Can i transfer music from my ipod to someone elses itunes account?

Can i transfer music from my ipod to someone elses itunes account??

CD's you can give to them to rip to their own iTunes. If you do that, legally you are supposed to delete any copies you may have in your posession as you no longer own the content.
For iTunes purchases, they are permanently tied to the account they were purchased with.
You can always gift the content via iTunes to your friend, purchase and give them CD's, or let them buy their own copies.

You cannot... that is called Stealing. If you want the Music... Purchase it.

Possible yes. Something you would want to do? Not likely.
Music bought from the iTunes store is only licensed to the Apple ID that bought it. The other iPhone has no right to play it, and as such it would require your Apple ID and Password on said Phone to be able to play. Are you willing to do that?
It would also be illegal, and akin to piracy.
You will also overwrite any other music they may have in their iPhone and replace it with yours.

Hard Drive Crashed - It thinks i am on someone elses computer

My hard drive crashed and i had to redo my hardrive and reload the itunes software. Once i did this i tried to sync my ipod up. It only allows me to load music from my ipod to itunes that i have purchased - which is fine. However i purchased a song and it will load to my itunes but not sync to my ipod. It's like it thinks i am on someone elses computer. How can i make the ipod and itunes recognise that this is my only computer. I can not disengage the old machine as it is fried and gone? I need to make this itunes know that this is my one and only itunes????

You will need to authorize the computer again.
See: Authorization and Deauthorization.
iTunes and the iPod are treating your newly reformatted hard drive as a new computer.

Completely new iphone logged into someone elses apple id

So recently I got the new iphone 5s (completely sealed in plastic) as a late Christmas present but when I opened it up and tried backing up from my iCloud it asked for the password for someone elses account (I'm not sure anymore but i think it was amandamcvittie@bt???.com??). Anyway, once that came up I decided to leave it there for then and headed over to Apple's Bluewater branch, where it had been purchased, to ask what was wrong. When I got there and approached a worker I was told that there was nothing to worry about and that I should just skip the step and delete the additional account when I got into the system. Another problem was that when the iCloud had been backed up there was an error or something and it went back to the start up screen again (something I was told was unusual but nothing to worry about and which was also ignored) so I had to go through the first few steps again and yet again ignore the amandamcvittie question. Regardless, when we (we being the worker and I) finally reached the main app page of the phone we went to settings and scrolled down to the iTunes and App Store option only to find that the Apple ID was clearly mine. Having seen that we proceeded to check the iCloud option and yet again the account was clearly mine. Unable to find anything that noted the existence of any other account on my phone I was told that there was nothing to worry about and that it probably wasn't anything major. Still slightly unconvinced I went to the App Store to ascertain whether I could download apps without being asked the password for amanda's account. Having downloaded the featured 12 Days of Gifts app without any problem I decided to trust the workers and headed home.
After arriving home and connecting to my internet I pressed one of my apps to begin the downloading process of all my old data (music and apps) and was asked for my password but once I had given my password another pop up asking for amanda's password appeared. Without giving it much thought I simply pressed cancel and the downloading began. Realising what I had done I regretted not taking a screenshot since I was unaware when proof that the amanda account was still stuck in my iphone would appear again but I was not to worry as when I checked my music I saw that there was an unfamiliar album there called 'The Lumineers'. Once everything else had been downloaded this album stayed grey so I pressed it to see what would happen and if the pop up requesting amanda's account password would appear but instead of that it just began flashing and trying to download or something (it looked pretty creepy). I just checked and it is still flashing. This is a picture of the album when I click on it because I did not have the chance to screenshot anything else when it came up.
I could always upload a short clip of the album cover flashing but I can't be bothered right now
I went to the Bluewater branch again today and was told that I could exchange my phone for another one but I didn't have the original receipt with me so I have to go again.
But more importantly I just want to know why there was someone elses apple id on the phone and why there's an album there? I don't mean to jump to conclusions but doesn't this mean that I paid for a new iphone only to find that it had already been used by someone else before? Has anyone else ever had this happen before?

Hi
Just got my wife a new iphone 5s phone from Three shop and exactly the same has happened. The Apple ID was [email protected] and every time it goes to download an app it asks for their password and then my wife's password. So weird. Taking phone back to the shop tomorrow for a replacement !

Iphone 4 voice Dial used to work great, but now, I can't get it to recognize voice commands. When i give it a command to call someone, it ends up repeating someone elses name and starts the call. Does anyone know how to solve this problem?

I have an I phone 4 with 32g. The voice dial used to work just fine, but now it doesn't recognize the words and ends up saying someone elses name and starts calling the wrong person. It even won't recognize a number when spoken to it and speaks back and calls the wrong numbers.
Lately, the phone has really slowed down. I am not sure if this is the problem.. I have closed all the open apps and deleted any extra picture off the card and extra songs that I have downloaded and the slow problem still exists.
Would a reset work to restore the phone to factory settings and if I then resync the phone, would all contacts pictures and songs be restored?

What is wrong with your Mac? You still haven't told us what the problem is. Is the computer still under warranty or Apple Care?
the next time i attempted to use the computer it wasn't fine

How come someone elses Apple ID Shows up when I try to update my apps

How come someone elses Apple ID Shows up when I try to update my apps? It's Grey and won't let me change it. I've signed out and resigned in, but this very odd email address always shows up as my apple ID. Please help if you can, I just need to update some apps.

You installed a hacked app, originally from the Mac App Store. It contains the receipt for a different app, downloaded using an account that you don't control. You need to identify and remove the hacked app.
Important: The app you need to remove may not be the one named in the update notice. For example, the App Store could prompt you to update "Angry Birds" or "Twitter," but the hacked app could be "Final Cut Pro." Don't make any assumptions about which app you're looking for. To find it, you must carry out a systematic search with Spotlight.
1. Triple-click anywhere in the line of text below on this page to select it:
kMDItemAppStoreHasReceipt=1
Copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C.
2. In the Finder, press command-F to open a search window, or select
          File ▹ Find
from the menu bar. In the search window, select
          Search: This Mac
from the row of tokens below the toolbar. Below that is a popup menu of search criteria, initially showing Kind. From that menu, select
          Other...
A sheet will drop down. In that sheet, select
          Raw Query
as the criterion, then click OK or press return.
Now there will be a text box to the right of the menu of search criteria. That's where you enter the raw search query. Click in that box and paste the text you copied earlier by pressing command-V.
3. The search window will now show all the App Store products that are installed. Compare those search results with the list of your purchases from the App Store. To see the complete list, you may need to unhide hidden purchases. If any apps were download from the App Store using other Apple ID accounts that you control, sign in to the store under each of those ID's and check the purchases.
4. At least one of the apps in the Spotlight search results is not among your purchases in the App Store. Move each such item to the Trash, after quitting it if it's running. You may be prompted for your administrator password. Empty the Trash.
5. Quit and relaunch the App Store. Test.
If you find these instructions confusing, ask for an alternative method.

How is it that I now have someone elses photos on my ipad after a full restore?

I had to restore my iPad 2 on Friday due to a problem booting. When I finally restored it back to factory settings I started to noticed elements of someone elses account on it. There are photos in my Camera Roll that are not mine. When I first logged into Facebook it suggested a username (email address) that was not mine. The email accounts of someone else are also partially set up. I have had this iPad from new out of the box so how can this have happened? I am now worried that my photos and other accounts are mixed up with someone else!!!

The only way that I can see this happening is if you restored somebody else's backup to your iPad. If you completely erased the iPad and restored as new there is no way somebody else's information or photos could possibly be on the iPad.

[SOLVED]mpd does not detect the music directory

I recently installed mpd with the gmpc gui, set my "music_directory" in /etc/mpd.conf to the location of all of my music (which contains lots of other folders and subfolders), but there's no listing of the audio files in the database in gmpc.
Here's the /etc/mpd.conf if that helps:
# An example configuration file for MPD
# See the mpd.conf man page for a more detailed description of each parameter.
# Files and directories #######################################################
# This setting controls the top directory which MPD will search to discover the
# available audio files and add them to the daemon's online database. This
# setting defaults to the XDG directory, otherwise the music directory will be
# be disabled and audio files will only be accepted over ipc socket (using
# file:// protocol) or streaming files over an accepted protocol.
music_directory "/var/lib/mpd/music"
# This setting sets the MPD internal playlist directory. The purpose of this
# directory is storage for playlists created by MPD. The server will use
# playlist files not created by the server but only if they are in the MPD
# format. This setting defaults to playlist saving being disabled.
playlist_directory "/var/lib/mpd/playlists"
# This setting sets the location of the MPD database. This file is used to
# load the database at server start up and store the database while the
# server is not up. This setting defaults to disabled which will allow
# MPD to accept files over ipc socket (using file:// protocol) or streaming
# files over an accepted protocol.
db_file "/var/lib/mpd/mpd.db"
# These settings are the locations for the daemon log files for the daemon.
# These logs are great for troubleshooting, depending on your log_level
# settings.
# The special value "syslog" makes MPD use the local syslog daemon. This
# setting defaults to logging to syslog, otherwise logging is disabled.
log_file "/var/log/mpd/mpd.log"
# This setting sets the location of the file which stores the process ID
# for use of mpd --kill and some init scripts. This setting is disabled by
# default and the pid file will not be stored.
pid_file "/var/run/mpd/mpd.pid"
# This setting sets the location of the file which contains information about
# most variables to get MPD back into the same general shape it was in before
# it was brought down. This setting is disabled by default and the server
# state will be reset on server start up.
state_file "/var/lib/mpd/mpdstate"
# The location of the sticker database. This is a database which
# manages dynamic information attached to songs.
#sticker_file "~/.mpd/sticker.sql"
# General music daemon options ################################################
# This setting specifies the user that MPD will run as. MPD should never run as
# root and you may use this setting to make MPD change its user ID after
# initialization. This setting is disabled by default and MPD is run as the
# current user.
user "mpd"
# This setting specifies the group that MPD will run as. If not specified
# primary group of user specified with "user" setting will be used (if set).
# This is useful if MPD needs to be a member of group such as "audio" to
# have permission to use sound card.
#group "nogroup"
# This setting sets the address for the daemon to listen on. Careful attention
# should be paid if this is assigned to anything other then the default, any.
# This setting can deny access to control of the daemon.
# For network
#bind_to_address "any"
# And for Unix Socket
#bind_to_address "~/.mpd/socket"

# argument is recommended for troubleshooting, though can quickly stretch
# available resources on limited hardware storage.
#log_level "default"
# If you have a problem with your MP3s ending abruptly it is recommended that
# you set this argument to "no" to attempt to fix the problem. If this solves
# the problem, it is highly recommended to fix the MP3 files with vbrfix

Thanks, I successfully launched mpd as a user and it detected all of my music. However, if I launch mpd with the mpd.conf that I created in my home directory, it launches, but outputs the following:

Is this normal?
*sigh* i answer this for the 3rd time in a row... this is no error it just says that binding to your ipv6 interface happened before the binding to ipv4.
If you want to use your ipv4 interface hardcode it in mpd.conf
bind_to_address "127.0.0.1"
you can also have several binds:
bind_to_address "127.0.0.1"
bind_to_address "192.168.1.13"
to make it listen on localhost and the external IP of your network card.
If your music is on the same machine as your mpd i recommend to use a unix socket in addition.
bind_to_address "/path/to/some/file/that/does/not/exist/yet"
and make your client connect to that file instead of the IP. Speeds things up a log e.g. in ncmpcpp
and btw: you can save your mpd.conf file as ~/.mpdconf and mpd will automatically use it.
