TS2972 Apple TV launch music on iMAC

I have just bought an Apple TV and there is something weird that I don't manage to solve.
Basically, when I am surfing the Apple TV menu, the music on my iMAC start automatically (it also opens iTUNES if closed) without any predictable behavior.
In addition, I hear the "click" of the Apple TV remote control through the iMAC speakers.
Any thought about that?
Thank you!

Under settings-security-advanced on the iMac turn of the IR remote and it will stop, the remote on ATV can also control the Mac.

TS2972 Apple TV will not wake iMac, any help?

Just bought a new Apple TV (3rd gen) and a new iMac. On both products I have Home Sharing turned on. I also have my firewall turned off. I have no problem seeing my files through Apple TV when the computer is awake but I want to be able to get on Apple TV at any time and access my files without having to go wake up my computer first. Anyone else experiencing this problem or have ideas on how I can fix it?

What time capsule and firmware have you got? I have 5th generation and 7.7.2 I think there is a firmware bug and the feature is not implemented correctly
If instead you only have an AppleTv 3rd generation and no apple routers, the appletv has a bonjour sleep proxy engine so that should be sufficient to wake up your mac as long as your mac has the option in the energy saving preferences

In my case I have a time capsule 5th generation that seem to fail the service so the appletv does not wake up the devices however if I connect a non apple router it does
So you don't need an apple router to have the service, the apple tv generation 3 does it as long as the firmware of your mac and the energy saving settings are correct

Used the file transfer software from Apple to move music and photos from PC to iMac and can't find the files on iMac even though it was "successful" any help?

Used the file transfer software from Apple to move music and photos to iMac. After several hours it was "successful" but I can't locate it on the iMac. Any ideas for the rookie?

The music should be in iTunes and your photos should be in iPhoto. What happens if you launch those applications?
Best of luck.

I tried to launch iCloud on iMac. I Changed my e-mail address recently, and iMac doesn't seem to know it. Even worse, it doesn't know any password I've used with Apple ID. Can anyone help me?

No, i don't. if i did i would have tried it. do you have to sign up an appled ID for iCloud? If the answer is yes then they should mention that in the set-up instructions.

Apple TV streaming music woes.

Hi, I've got a new Apple TV and an intel iMac running 10.5.8. When I'm streaming music to Apple TV I frequently have to first start playing music on the computer, then switch via airplay to the apple TV before it will start playing. Trying to initiate music playing from my ipad is the same story - first have to start playing on the ipad, then switch airplay to apple TV. If I used the ipad or iphone as remote to control the computer's music the results were initially fantastic, then unexplicably stopped working reliably at all. Sometimes it works now if I turn on the TV, but really I mainly want to stream music to my surround sound reciever connected by optical cable. Any suggestions?

Intermittent problems are often a result of interference. Interference can be caused by other networks in the neighbourhood or from household electrical items.
You can download and install iStumbler (NetStumbler for windows users) to help you see which channels are used by neighbouring networks so that you can avoid them, but iStumbler will not see household items.
Refer to your router manual for instructions on changing your wifi channel.
There are other types of problems that can affect networks, but this is by far the most common, hence worth mentioning first.

MUSIC ON IMAC COPY TO MACBOOK PRO

Simply put. I have iTunes music on iMac. Want to listen to it on Macbook Pro. Can I copy? What is the easiest method.

You could copy your Music folder to an external hard drive, thumb dirve (or sufficient size) or connect the two computers via a Firewire cable. If you have an iPod, you could use it to make the transfer (if you have enough empty space on it). See directions here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1329

How can you use the same Apple ID for music and apps but have a different iCloud

Collectively in my family we have 1 iPhone 2 ipod(4th gen) and 3 iPad mini's and we like to buy music and apps through the same Apple ID so that we can all share it but we also have a problem about the iCloud.
My son has one iPod and one iPad and he would like his contacts and messages to be shared between HIS two devices but he would also like all of the pictures taken in the family to be shared
The same for my daughter and for me.
Is there a way of selecting which devices share what????
Thanks a lot

You could and should set up different iCloud accounts in "Settings > iCloud", so that every user has its own email account, calendars, reminders, notes, storage for backups and app data (files etc.), by the way everyone could also use his own account for iMessage (Settings > Messages > Send & Receive) and FaceTime (Settings > FaceTime) so that you all could write and call each other.
Next the Apple ID for music, apps and other media: You all could just set up the ssame Apple ID in "Settings > iTunes & App Stores" for all your media purchases like songs, movies, apps etc.

Multiple apple ID's on 1 Imac, how does it work?

Dear all, we have recently bought an Imac but are now struggling with multiple Apple id's on 1 iMac, i have created two separate userprofiles but everytime we try synchronise one of our devices (iphones and ipads), it seems to mix up our apple id's and purchases. Also the message appears that if you change the id you cannot purchase anything for six weeks with this id?
We have our own Apple Id's connected to our own devices and only want to share the Imac to synchronise Our own Itunes stuff etc on our own profiles.

Hi, what happens if you edit that info in the other account , say at the App Store or itUnes Store to match the other account, does it hold then?

Managing multiple iOS devices on different Apple accounts from the same iMac

May be a very simple question to answer, but can I manage multiple iOS devices on different Apple accounts from the same iMac?
I ask as whilst I'm totally Mac'd, my partner who has her own Apple account has a Winows laptop and experiences problems updating iOS software on her iPhone 4S and iPad 3 Gen via the laptop. I'm thinking the problems may be overcome if we manage her iOS devices through my iMac.

Thanks dwb .... I thought there'd be a catch .... not to keen on all that media and apps on my iMac!
The specific problem is that whenever she updates to the latsest version of iOS using the latest iTunes for Windows on her PC laptop she seems to lose something in the process. One time she lost all her texts and the other day when updating to 5.1.1 she lost all her reminders. Not the end of the world but frustrating and shouldn't really happen and doesn't happen to me using the iMac and OSX.

Hello,
My old emails address which I have used as my apple id for 10 years is being made redundant. I have changed the email address to a new gmail one and this is my new apple id. But my iMac has not recognised this. It keeps saying it wants the password for my old email address. I have seen some advice on these forums which suggest signing out of iCloud and then back in again. But when I start doing this it asks me if i want all the photos deleted that have not been downloaded onto the mac.
I have had an iCloud account for quite sometime and I'm afraid of losing everything in my cloud if i sign out and sign in with a new id.
Is this fear realistic?
I know I can change back to my old email, sign out and then sign in wight he new one...
Please help!

This did not work for me. My old email account for iCloud still pops up on my screen every time I open my macbook. I've deleted it, reset it, every thing I can think of and it still shows up. I think six months of this is more than enough time to wait.

How do I fully delete an email account from my Apple Mail app on my iMac?

Hello all,
How do I fully delete an email account from my Apple Mail app on my iMac?
When I go here: Mail > Preferences Mail > Accounts
I got the message that I needed to delete it from my Internet Accounts.
When I go here: System Preferences > Internet Accounts > select the account >
I cannot select or click the minus sign on the bottom left to delete the account because it does not appear in the list.
Yet the email account still shows up in my email logs with errors that it cannot connect.
The email account no longer appears in the left column where all my email accounts are in Apple Mail as I have deleted that domain and no longer use it, so the email was deleted at the server level. However, again, the email account still shows up in my email logs with errors that it cannot connect.
This is driving me bananas!
Thank you for any help you can provide!
~ Angela

If you haven't already done so, please quit and relaunch Mail. See whether the account goes away.

Can i have a apple id for music and another for icloud?

You can use one ID for the iTunes store account where you buy music, and another for an iCloud account.

Can i have multiple apple id accounts on my imac?

Can i have multiple apple ID accounts on my iMac??

I have added a separate user account for each Apple ID, but the iMac decides to update software, it won't let you if it was downloaded under the other apple ID.
We are a business, we set up the macs for our faculty and staff, we install some basic stuff such as Microsoft Remote Desktop. iMac want's to update this but won't let the user (who has admin provleges) because it was installed throught he other account.
Hiw is this suppposed to work in a business environment?

How do I get my iPhone 5 to stop automatically launching Music when plugged into my car USB port?

For quite some time, my iPhone has been set to automatically launch Music -- on the first song listed alphabetically -- as soon as I plug it into my car's USB port, which I use both for connectivity and for charging. It's enough to have made me hate a song I used to love: if I hear the opening riff of "The A Team" one more time I think I'll throw the phone out the window!! LOL Seriously: I've seen fixes for this in other posts, which apparently referred to older versions of iTunes, and required the "Stop AutoPlay" function to be initiated OUTSIDE the device, in iTunes on the synchronizing computer. That makes no sense to me. I've searched but cannot find a current fix. Am I eternally doomed to suffer this annoyance? Thanks!

Disable any security software on the computer and try again.
