When I use my remote to start a movie on iTV it starts a different movie on my MacBook, plus if I use the arrow up or down on my remote it adjusts the sound on my MacBook. How do I stop this?

I am using 2nd generation Apple TV and have a MacBook Pro. When I use my remote to start a movie on iTV a different movie starts on my MacBook. Also when I use the up and down arrows on the remote it adjusts the sound on my MacBook. Is this something I have to live with, or is there something I can do so the remote control doesn't affect my laptop?

Well, I feel sheepish. I found the answer. Thank you Apple Community!!!

Jump around. Perhaps you could elaborate - what seems to be moving around, and under what conditions? Even better if you could include pics or movies of this behavior.

when i use imessage on my ipnone 4 it comes up as my email on my wifes iphone. how do i fix this to where it shows up as my phone number?

Had the same problem and trying to remember how I fixed it. Let's see...
Try this:
1) Settings > Messages > Receive At > Use your Apple ID for iMessage > make sure you are logged out from Apple / iTunes.
2) under "You can be reached for messages at:" > make sure only your phone number shows and no email address.
Hope that works, if not I just can't remember what else I did. However I got it working so that my tel number now shows to iMessage recipients instead of my email address.

Hi,
Close any open Internet Explorer windows.
Open windows Control Panel, open Internet Options, click the Security tab and click Custom Level. About half way down, under the heading Miscellaneous, there is an entry for 'Display Mixed Content' - click Enable and then Ok, then click Apply and Ok in the previous window.

HT1338 I downloaded OS X moutain lion but it won't let me install it on my MAC HD drive. it says it can't becease time machaine use the MAC HD drive. How do I get this Installed?

e time machaine use the MAC HD drive. How do I get this Installed?

Welcome to Apple Support Communities
That's because you have a "Backups.backupdb" folder at the root level of the hard disk, so the Mountain Lion installer detects that your OS X partition is being used by Time Machine. Just open Finder, select Go menu (on the menu bar) > Go to Folder, and type "/" (without quotes). Finally, delete the "Backups.backupdb" folder and run the OS X installer again

Whenever I open a new Firefox Browser, the other Firefox Browsers that I have minimized to the bottom of the screen all restore, (reopen up) onto the screen with the new opened Firefox Browser, how do I stop this? Just want the new one to open on screen

Whenever I open a new Firefox Browser, the other Firefox Browsers that I have minimized to the bottom of the screen all restore, (reopen up) onto the screen with the new opened Firefox Browser, how do I stop this? Just want the new one to open on screen and the existing stay minimized.
== This happened ==
Every time Firefox opened
== I think when a I updated or downloaded a newer version of FireFox at Firefox's suggestion.

Hmm that does sound a bit strange - I use a system quite similar to yours (XP, FF 3.6.3), and don't see this behaviour.
I would recommend trying to start Firefox in Firefox [[Safe Mode]] (make sure you close '''all''' running Firefox instances first), and see if this problem persists.
If not, it could be some add-on causing this behaviour - restart Firefox in Safe Mode, disable all add-ons, and enable them one by one to find the guilty one.
If it still happens in Firefox Safe Mode, some other program (or something in Windows itself) most likely is the cause. We may be able to help with this too, so let us know what works and provide as much additional information as possible to let us help you solve this.
Please let us know how above works out, and if we can be of further assistance. Detailed feedback is appreciated and helps us to help you better, plus enables us to better help other users with similar issues.

Each time I reopen a folder the files get rearranged alphabetically, how do I stop this so the file arrangement in the folder stays the same?

Each time I reopen a folder in OS X 10.8.4 the files get rearranged alphabetically, how do I stop this so the file arrangement in the folder stays the same?

I might add that all the files are aliases. There are 40 altogether and I am aware I could create 10 sub-folders so I only have 4 aliases in each subfolder which would mean I only have to rearrange 4 aliases each time but this is still not ideal. I have been using Macs since the 1980's and up to now files have always stayed where you put them unless you selected Arrange By in the Finder View Menu.

My imessages are being sent on multiple phones and i deleted the icloud account on the other phone but the messages still go through how do I stop this?

Do you think deleting the message off the phone would make a difference?

If you don't enter an e-mail address, it just uses SMS and MMS. iMessages (sent over the data connection instead of using your SMS messaging plan) require an e-mail address registered on the device.
There is no requirement that you activate it.

I just down loaded lion and now every time i turn on the computer every single thing i had used in the last session opens up--how do i stop this?

I just loaded lion on my macbook pro, and everytime i turn on the computer, every thing i did in the last session, like word, instant messanger, sites, pop-up-how do i stop this and just get to my desktop when the computer is first turned on--please help!

Remember that you can just put your Macbook to sleep by closing the lid. Unless you're not going to use it for a few days this makes more sense than shutting it down. I sleep my MBP overnight and it uses about 3% of battery power. I only shut it down if I install updates.

When trying to open .xps file, I told Firefox to AUTOMATICALLY open all .xps files using xpsviewer.exe & now it opens MANY tabs once I double click on .xps file! How do I stop this?

When trying to open an .xps file, I told Firefox to AUTOMATICALLY open all .xps files in the future using xpsviewer.exe & now it opens MANY, MANY tabs FAST and continually once I double click on .xps file! How do I stop this? How do I UNselect the AUTOMATIC feature? I do not see where to do this. Also, How DO I open a .xps file successfully in Firefox once this first problem is solved?

Is the iPod still singed into the account isn Settings>iTunes and App Stores and SettingsZ>iCloudl? If it is then I would not be concerned.

since you may have started the 90 day window.
For the other "problem", go to iTunes>Preferences>Devices and check the box that says Prevent iPod....automatically syncing.

I have a new iPhone 4S, have noticed when texting some of my contacts with iPhones that my text sends on imessage and the text duplicates itself. how do i stop this from happening?

I have a new iPhone 4S and have noticed that when I text a friend with an iPhone it automatically send the message via imessage and sends the text twice, how can I stop this from happening?

Your phone is setup from default with iMessage turned on. Your friends phone obviously isn't. I have a friend that has an iPhone 3G[S] with an old phone plan that didn't require a data package and he's just been swapping the sim card for 5 years. When he's at home, his phone is on wifi and it sends over iMessage. When he's at work on 3G the phone defaults back to text message because he doesn't have a data plan to send iMessage over. The phone isn't actually sending 2 messages. You send in iMessage and if the other phone is off of iMessage, it will resend to that phone as a green text message. That person never got the blue iMessage you tried to send because their iMessage wasn't working.

A possible cause is a problem with the file places.sqlite that stores the bookmarks and the history.

When I record an audio track, there is a waveform. When I stop recording, the waveform disappears and becomes a straight line. It also disappears from the track edit window. But the sound is there. How can I stop the waveform from disappearing?

When I record an audio track using Logic Pro X, there is a visible waveform which appears as I record. When I stop recording, the waveform disappears and becomes a straight line. It also disappears from the track edit window. But the sound is still there. How can I stop the waveform from disappearing? And can I do something to view it after it has disappeared? Anyone know the anser?

In Logic:
Preferences/Audio Set Recording Delay to 0 <zero>
This should always be set to zero unless a specific set of circumstances exist and you're audio drivers do not report position correctly.
On occasion, usually when importing a Logic 9 project, Logic-X randomly changes this to a negative/positive number. It's actually a bug in Logic, as it should always display the waveform.

HT1311 I have two iPhones on my account, but I want each to use a different iTunes account so that the directory for one iPhone does not end up on the other when both use the cloud to sync. How to do it?

I have two seperate iPhones on my cellular carrier, but since I unwisely used the same AppleID for both phones iTunes, the two different users end us seeing each other's apps and directories of phone numbers (when each is sync'd through the cloud).
How do I take one of the two phones and move it to a different Apple account?
Thanks

To move one of the phones to a different iCloud account (if that's what you want to do), go to Settings>iCloud and turn all synced data to Off. When prompted, choose to keep the data on your iPhone. After everything is off, scroll to the bottom and tap Delete Account. This will delete the account from the phone but not from iCloud so the other phone will not be effected. Then set up a new iCloud account with a different Apple ID and turn iCloud syncing in Settings>iCloud back to On. When prompted, choose Merge. This will upload the data to the new iCloud account.
You will then have to go to icloud.com and sign into each iCloud account separately and delete any unwanted data that you don't want on the phone syncing with each account.
