Strange playlists suddenly appearing...

OK this is so weird. Sometimes a completely strange playlist appears in iTunes. This time it is a playlist that is called "All Marcos Music". I didn't import any playlist?
I cannot click on the playlist either since it is password protected. Does anyone know how this is happening?

Those playlists probably have a blue icon. That playlist is of someone sharing his music.
I suspect you're on a network or wireless router.
You can prevent iTunes from looking for shared music in the preferences.
You also might check your firewall settings to prevent others from peeking in your computer and tunes.
hope this helps.

  • Strange playlist/drive appearing in iTunes

    I'm using iTunes 6 on a Windows XP machine and have noticed something strange in the "Source" list. Below "Library" and "Music Store" is something called "Craptastic." If I click on it, there is a sub-heading entitled "Purchased." Clicking on that I see a list of songs that I have never purchased. If I try playing one of these songs I get a window saying my computer isn't authorized to play "_" and asks if I would like to authorize it. The e-mail address that appears in the Apple ID box isn't mine, though my e-mail address does appear in the account box when I click on "Music Store." If I right-click on "Craptastic" my options are "Open" and "Disconnect." If I choose "Disconnect," nothing happens.
    Just wondering if anyone has seen something like this before.
      Windows XP  

    So simple. I unchecked "Look for shared music" and that did it. Thanks!
    What had me confused is that the e-mail in question was a domain in New York. I'm in Minnesota.

  • Why have duplicate playlists suddenly appeared in my iTunes library?

    When I come to sync my iPhone 5 (unfortunately using iOS 8) with my iTunes library, I hit the "music" tab and select "Selected playlists, albums, artists & genres". This has always worked free from hassle or problems. Now I have updated all my Apple devices to the newest software, there are duplicate playlists showing in the "Playlists" section, and my iPhone won't sync at all. Any suggestions? Surely I am not going to have to go through and delete each copy manually??? If that's the case, then sorry Apple, but I'm defecting. Since I installed iOS 8 I have had nothing but trouble. My MacBook Pro won't allow me to use iPhoto, my iPhone is all over the place, and I can't even make phone calls in my car (Hello?? It's a phone - I should be able to make phone calls), and my iMac iTunes account won't sync any more. HELP!!!!!!!!!

  • Strange images suddenly apprearing

    Strange images.. A girl with bleeding teeth suddenly appeared in my gallery.
    I dont have any idea how this photo can appear in my gallery.
    did this happen before?

    They may be images that were in web pages you visited, and got cached in the browser's cache. They could have been in areas of the page that you did not pay attention to, or did not scroll down to, so you would not necesarily remember them.
    Does anyone else have access to your phone besides yourslef?

    Is it possible that you are not seeing the thirteenth song because you did not scroll all the way down within the playlist?
    Hope this helps!

  • Strange System Shares appear on SOFS management page

    Hi, my SOFS cluster is working perfectly fine, but Strange Shares keep appearing on the Server management page for the file and storage > shares section, it grows all the time and more shares appear, I have deleted them and it hasn't caused any issues.
    does anyone know what they are for, and why they are being created ? could it be something todo with DPM backups ?
    is this something to worry about or just ignore ?
    thanks
    Mark

    Hi,
    Sorry for the delay in reply.
    From the screenshot it seems to be a temp folder. And according to search with some keywords it look like these folders are related to DPM. You can post a question to DPM forum to see if it is a known issue. Here is the forum link:

  • Bridge suddenly appearing in Russian instead of English

    By opening Bridge (CS4) yesterday, it suddenly appeared in Russian, instead of English. How to change this back?
    Cascam. (Photoshop CS4 is normally running in English)
    Casper Cammeraat

    It was my understanding that one could not change the language from the purchased edition, so like I say this is odd.
    I would reset the preferences to factory defaults and see if that gets it back to English.  To do this close Bridge and then press and hold the Ctrl key and start Bridge.  You should get a  reset window with 3 options.  Choose all 3.

  • In the midle of a song the screen gets dark, then suddenly appear the home screen of ipod and the song stops.

    i have updated my ipod 4g to ios 5.0. everything went great, but something is not right cause sometimes in the midle of a song the screen gets dark, then suddenly appear the home screen of ipod and the song stops. help-me, what should i do?

    It occurs with both ripped songs and ITMS songs, but not always the same songs. Just this morning, I had a song skip ahead, then put down the ipod for a few mintues, came back and that same song did not skip ahead at all. I've been on a stretch now of about 20 songs with no skipping whatsoever. Hmmmmmm....
    I've used all the five "R"'s multiple times to no avail. It just seems so random, it frustrates me.
    Thanks for the help, King

  • Strange white light appearing when password input required on locked apps!

    Strange white light appearing when password input required on specific apps... Locked apps.
    It is a thick white line) appearing momentarily on upper left side of my screen.
    This only appears briefly as specific apps are opening up .....only on apps where a password is required,(locked apps) like password managers, Apple App Store, etc.
    (this is a little troubling… And I'm wondering about the security of my phone now)
    I'm using iPhone 5s with latest iOS 7.1 This only started after the latest iOS update!
    Although this line appears very briefly, I was able to get some screenshots examples (see links)

    Apple has no idea what this is… They're only suggestion was to wipe the phone clean and reinstall from the last backup! If that doesn't work, they would replace the phone.
    Before I have to do this, I'm wondering if this could be a phone app doing this, or the iOS or something easily explained/ remedied?
    Any ideas?

    Anyone have any thoughts on this? Searches and experiments

  • "Black Frame" suddenly appeared

    A black frame has "suddenly" appeared on my screen. It is about 1/16 in. wide, rectangular and about 3/4 the total size of my iBook screen. It will move (with my cursor), doesn't go beyond the screen dimensions and doesn't seem to affect usage other than being a nuisance. Wasn't there yesterday. Have worked with the posted "Universal Access" & "Voice Over" suggestions -- but that had no effect. I use OS-X and upgraded to version 10.4.8 which I downloaded today.
    Would appreciate any ideas on how to retire my "black frame."
    Bob

    It's ANOTHER "Universal Access" feature. Go to the "Seeing" pane and click the Zoom "Options..." button. Uncheck "Show preview rectangle when zoomed out".

  • In Finder something called 'vuuno' has suddenly appeared under Shared. I didn't knowingly connect and want to remove. Worried I've been hacked or something. What is this and how to remove permanently?

    In Finder something called 'vuuno' has suddenly appeared under Shared. I didn't knowingly connect and want to remove. Worried I've been hacked or something. What is this and how to remove permanently?

    If you are using an unsecured or shared wireless network, then it could be just another user's computer name. If your sharing settings are correct, you have no worry. However, It would appear that at least some of the other user's settings are less than optimal inasmuch as his/hers is openly being displayed.
    The next time you check into a hotel and use their wireless network, you are likely to see a number of other user's computers. Some just the name, as they share no files. While others are wide open, and their file sharing is on.

  • Why does revolving gear wheel suddenly appear

    After I have been working on my iMac for a while (an hour or so), the revolving gear wheel suddenly appears exactly where it does upon startup, and I am dead in the water. No keyboard or mouse entries work. My only choice is to completely shut down the computer and start it up again. Nothing seems to be prompting the appearance of the gear wheel. When it appears, I might have one or two programs open, or as many as half a dozen. Again, this is the gear wheel, not the colored pinwheel. Has anyone else encountered this problem?

    Unusual behaviour in terms of when the centre spinning gear appears.  Suspect you may have a problem on your internal disk. 
    Ensure you have a complete backup of your internal drive if possible.
    It may help to restart in “Safe” mode.  Restart but quickly hold down the Shift key as you boot.  After you successfully boot in Safe mode, the restart again but this time just a normal boot without holding down any keys.  When you are in Safe mode not all features on your machine will function, not to worry about that; just boot in safe and then reboot normally.
    If this doesn’t work, you could use Disk Utility to examine and repair the internal disk if needed.  Start the computer from your Install DVD by holding down the ‘C’ key with the Install DVD inserted in the optical drive.  But don’t do an actual install.  Enter your language preference and then when the first install panel shows up, go to the Tools menu in the menu bar and select Disk Utility.  Click on your Macintosh HD entry and do Verify Disk Permissions and Repair Disk Permissions.  You should repeat Repair Disk Permissions a couple of times.  There will be some things found that shouldn’t be any problem, but you’ll note possibly several permissions that are repaired.
    You can also run Verify Disk and Repair Disk as well which may correct some broken files or directories that may be the problem.

  • Strange RED HIGHLIGHTS appears in my print documents

    Strange RED HIGHLIGHTS appears in my print documents, but in the preview dont been showed, whats happens.
    OS: Windows XP

    Ram: 512 mb

    Eliezer...go to the Print dialog box and click on the Advanced button on the bottom left of the dialog. When the Advanced window comes up go to the lower left corner and put a check in the Print As Image box. Then click OK and then try printing. This is a print driver issue and hopefully checking the Print as Image box will let you print without the red highlights. Good Luck!
