Why does the Invisible Man keep playing my music?

I have an iPod Touch & the only thing that bugs me with it is that when I finish with it, I pause the music and then turn it off with the switch at the top left
However when I come back later, the music has restarted and been consistently playing whilst I was not aware - and so I am 20 songs further down my playlist & end up with less battery power than expected
The only thing that I can think of for this is that the remote control on the headphones has been triggered, e.g. if the ipod is in my pocket or in a bag & it touches something.
Has anyone else had this problem or am I missing something when turning it off?
I have started disconnecting the headphones when not using it, I will see if this makes a difference
Many thanks!

ok what I have come up with ... if there is an update available from another store then the iPhone will keep trying to take you to that store but as you are logged in to other store it will not let you connect ... solution which worked for me was to go to the store requiring app update, update the app, change back to "now" store !!!!
in my case
1. change store to Canada
2. update app i.e Google earth
3. revert to UAE store ...
Voila !!!!

Why does the store app keeps loading and doesn't work ?

why does the store app keeps loading and doesn't work ?

Hi Peter,
In order to analyze your issue better, we need more detailed information.
Did you mean when you launch the Windows store app, the app can't start? Was there any prompt message or error code? Did this issue occur on all Windows Store app or specific one?

Why does the iTunes radio stop playing?

Sometimes when listening to the iTunes radio on my desktop the station will stop playing. The speakers are on and I've done nothing.
Without a paid subscription Pandora will periodically check with the listener.
Is the iTunes radio set up the same way?

The thing is, the music does not cease prior to the slideshow start. Or At least it doesn't cease on my ATV.
I do have Flickr set as screensaver indeed, but having to change screensaver settings to watch a new slideshow is just plain annoying IMO.
Ane the fact that the music plays when a screensaver slideshow is active is a proof that technically the ATV could support the feature.
Thank you for your reply.

Why does the download list keep emptying?

I have set the preference to empty the download list manually. And it used to work fine until a few weeks ago. But now, every time I close Safari, the download list empties and the download button disappears, until the next time I download something
Why is this happening, and what can I do about it? I definitely want the items to remain in the list until I remove them, and I'm sure that I have set the preference correctly.

Triple-click anywhere in the line below on this page to select it:
~/Library/Safari/Downloads.plist
Right-click or control-click the highlighted line and select
Services ▹ Show Info
from the contextual menu.* An Info dialog should open.
Does the dialog show "You can read and write" in the Sharing & Permissions section?
In the General section, is the box labeled Locked checked?
What is the Modified date?
*If you don't see the contextual menu item, copy the selected text to the Clipboard (command-C). Open a TextEdit window and paste into it (command-V). Select the line you just pasted and continue as above.

Why does the keyboard focus keep switching to the menu bar?

Does anyone else have the problem of Photoshop CS6 constantly setting the keyboard focus to the menu bar? This makes it difficult to use shortcuts.
Typical examples: I want to switch to the Move tool, so I press V, but instead, the View menu drops down. Or I press T for the Type tool, but instead, the Filter menu drops down. This happens often and it's very annoying.
This also happens in Premiere Pro CS6, and happens on both my Windows 7 and Windows 8.1 machines. Doesn't happen in other applications, and is not related to actually using a menu, i.e. if I choose something from a menu, then press V, Photoshop will often work correctly and activate the Move tool. This behavior seems to happen randomly.

Alt doesn't really "unhide" the menu bar (speaking of Photoshop), but it's always been the introducer of keyboard operations for "keyboard accessbility" - i.e., operation of Windows applications without mouse.
Alt causes little underlines to show up under the key characters of menu items, and prepares the system for the next character being typed to open a menu - so for example you press something like 'e' and the Edit menu pulls down. Now you use an arrow key to move to the next item, or maybe a single character that's associated with one of the menu entries.
Photoshop's goals for using modifier keys kind of conflict with this. They've apparently tried to reach a balance where using the Alt key to modify some operation cancels the introduction of the next menu item.
But I don't think it's possible to be perfect at that, especially for example if the user presses Alt, decides not to do the operation he was thinking about doing (e.g., zooming out), then just releases the key. Another factor might be the habits people get into for choosing tools.
As a contrast, one person might not press the Alt key until they're sure they're going to do something with it (e.g., zoom out), and that same person might only choose tools from the Tools panel by clicking on them. Another person might press the Alt key sometimes, but then stop before doing the operation it modifies. That same person might be in the habit of choosing tools by their letter (e.g., E for eraser). It's clear to see how the first person might never get into a condition where the menu introducer key (Alt) leaves them in a state where a menu opens inadvertently, while the latter might see it regularly.
As far as why Photoshop might get into a mode where the menu introduction occurs when you HAVEN'T pressed the Alt key, I don't know; I certainly haven't seen that reported much if at all here on the forum.

Why does the default text tone play instead of the personalized text tone I have selected for a given contact?

The selected text tone plays when I check it out on the contact page, but when I receive a text message from this contact the default text tone plays.

Not me. iPhone or not, it always plays the default sound instead of the custom one

Why does the shockwave player keep crashing when I play farmville 2 on both the facebook and zynga websites?

I play farmville 2 on both the zynga and facebook websites. My shockwave player keeps crashing and is a very slow to load the game. This happens on all of the browsers I have used. Google chrome works better than some, firefox, icedragon and IE all are very slow to load the game and this take a lot of enjoyment out of the actual game play. Please help figure this out. I even keep clearing the cache and history, this does not help out much either.

Please ask your question on a forum for the Flash Player

Why does the new Quicktime NOT play my old MOV files?

Hi Folks.
I'm using the lasted updated Yosemite on a 3-year old iMac.
Back in my early iMac days (3 years ago), I imported my camcorder's AVCHD files
into iMove or Final Cut Express and converted them to Quicktime MOV files.
Turns out they were rendered by Apple or Final Cut into MOV files using the
Apple Intermediate codec. I had no choice over this.
Until I upgraded to Yosemite, I was able to preview any of these movies
very easily in the Finder. Simply highlight the movie, press the spacebar,
and it opens, in a real-time, real-size screen, with a simple play-pause button
in the progress bar at the bottom. Never had a problem with any previous
Mac OS.
Now when I click on the file in the finder, instead of a movie preview, I get a
big, silent QT "Mov" icon that just sits there looking silly.
I double click it to open it up in Quicktime, and it attempts to go through this
lengthy conversion process, taking at least as long as the movie is in minutes,
then asking me if I want to save this new "converted" version.
Fortunately, I have an old version of Quicktime 7 on my Mac, and QT 7 opens it
and plays it no problem. No "conversion" necessary. No cumbersome and
space-hogging needs to create a "cloned" copy, just so the new, lame version
of Quicktime can play it.
What's up, Apple? AIC was YOUR codec that YOUR SOFTWARE chose to
transcode into. Now, your new Quicktime does NOT support this codec?
And your old version does? And why might THAT be?
Really, this is so elementary. This is not rocket science. Just like JPG images
not displaying properly in Mac Mail now. It begs the question "why" ...?
I mean, for the elementary preview abilities that always made Mac such a
friendly computer ... *uh* ... where is that?
And here we go, wasting hours of time, looking for fixes that should not
have to be "fixed"...
Did I miss something? Or did you?

Aeclay: here's a couple of ideas. And an answer to your earlier post.
Basically two options to work with here:
Store the files as native AVCHD files... OR
Convert the files to Quicktime
I keep two archives of my AVCHD recordings, partly for backup, and partly for Sony's ability to archive nicely in it's own native format on it's PC-friendly utility called "PMB". (came wtih both my NEX and ALPHA cameras). I have an old PC that I use for my complete archive; Sony's PMB utility works only on PC's and will do a good job both of archiving, providing a thumbnail database, and re-writing your choice to removable media in it's typical Sony hierarchy.
If you've only got Mac's, you can still archive your AVCHD recordings; copy them to folders named or organized to your own spec's. AVCHD is a high-quality compression format, and they'll take up way less disk space than converted Quicktime MOV files. You can open and play all AVCHD movies quite easily with VLC player.
The only extra trick to be aware of here is this. The only reason you would need to preserve the intact "sony" folders (named "AVCHD" / "BMDV" etc) is is you were using Adobe Premiere as a video editor. Somehow, it needs the hierarchical folder stuff in place to properly index the files. Not mandatory, but helpful if you are a Premiere user. Otherwise, forget the weird "package" folders; just right-click (ctrl-click) on them, choose "view package contents" and MOVE the MTS files out of the Sony hierarchy for permanent storage. Use VLC player to open and view them.
From that point on, you have control over how you manage the files and what intermediate or end-user format you convert them to for your own use.
I'm not clear on your other question about the files that add the word "converted" on. Of course Mac will convert to Quicktime MOV files. Not sure what codec they're using now, likely H.264. Anyway, don't bother converting. It'll take up a lot of time and waste a lot of disk space.
ps. I just found this free utility on the internet. It's called "MTS CONVERTER". I have not tried it, but it claims to be able to convert all AVCHD files to various useable formats.
Good luck! (and happy Valentine's Day!)

Why does the same collection keep doing soft pulls on my credit

I have 2 soft pulls from the same collection. I don't want to call them and they are located in florida. I am located in CT. most of my previous collections were either from NY or CT. why don't they just call or mail me the bill to my house. I am also afraid to call because since they are doing soft pulls it might be a huge bill. The dates of the soft pulls are in Sept 2013 and Dec 2014. All this info came from annual credit report .com

Portfolio Recovery has been doing soft pulls on me at least 3-4 times a year for a debt from 2002(way outside the SOL.) I'm not too concerned. About once a quarter, they send me a settlement letter and I usually get a phone call every 6 months. I've contemplated a couple times about settling with them (it's only $120ish) but then I think back to all the illegal crap they pulled and harassment I endured and just decided to say screw it. Since it's out of the SOL, there isn't much they can do. They can keep doing soft pulls and sending letters and I can keep putting them in the shred pile.Portfolio started soft pulling my file in May when I applied for a few cards. Since that date they soft pulled me almost every other day for two weeks straight. The last time I pulled a full report they were still doing soft pulls, though not as frequently. I haven't dealt with PRA in many years and panicked at first. But I have received no phone calls and no letters. So, I'll just let it be for now I guess. I have no collections. I honestly don't know what accounts they are collecting on. I find it annoying so perhaps I'll contact them at some point.

Why does the Notes app keep crashing?

Why does the "Devices" gear keep spinning and spinning?

Finally got my headset today. Haven't had a chance to field test it much. But I am wondering why, after pairing, that "Devices" gear thingy keeps spinning around in the Settings menu? Is this drawing unnecessary juice from the battery? Anyone else's doing this?

I've seen that too. I think its because when you are in the Bluetooth Settings window, the phone is in discovery mode actively looking for new devices to pair with. (Kind of like an electronic mating season... the phone is hornee when in that screen.)
Once you are back to normal screens, the bluetooth is always active, but not as actively as when in discovery mode.
My 2 cents worth. Only a slightly educated supposition. Nothing else to back it up.

Why does my iPhone 4 keep playing music randomly? And why does it keep stopping when I actually want to use it?

I keep trying to play music and it just randomly stops, and when I don't want to play music it randomly starts playing! Why is this? Is this because of iOS 7? or is it because of the phone itself?

Try to do a reset. Hold down on the Hold and Home keys for about 10 seconds until the  shows.
If that doesn't work, you should try to do a restore. A restore re-installs the operating system. Plug your phone in and go to the phone preferences screen in iTunes. There is a restore option. After restore iTunes gives you an option to restore from backup or use as a new phone. I would first try to see if the problem vanishes if you do the restore from backup option. If the problem still exist, you might want to restore again and opt for the use as a new phone. This is because maybe a file in the backup is corrupt and you cannot use the backup. This means all of your saved texts, photos, settings, etc will be gone. You can resync most of the data back if you have them on your computer (not your text messages though). So think twice before restoring as a new phone. Also, there is a risk that restoring won't resolve your issue so think twice. I can tell you that I have everything on my computer and I can get most of the data back even if I restore as a new phone but everyone is different.

Why does the video window keep minimising then opening again?

I'm slowly working through all the problems I am having with my laptop, and this one is just a bit weird - nothing more than an inconvenience, but it sorts itself out.
If i am watching a video / TV show in iTunes (opened in new window, not in iTunes window) and am doing something else (eg using safari), then i try to move the movie (as it is now not the active window), sometimes it moves, sometimes it pauses for no reason (I am clicking the bar with the videos name in) and sometimes it freezes, the video window minimises then instantly comes back up from the dock...
Does anyone know why it may be doing this?

Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] to check if one of the extensions or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox (Tools) > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).
*Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.
*https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Safe+Mode
This can be a problem with session restore. 
Firefox stores session data every 10 seconds to make it possible to restore a crashed session. 
If you have (security) software that interferes with that or have many tabs open then that cause cause a delay. 
You can try to increase the session store saving interval to see if that has any effect on the freezes.

Why does the 'iCal helper' keep appearing in my dock?

After upgrading to 10.5.6 today the iCal helper application keeps launching and staying in my dock. It's not marked as a log-in item, and doesn't necessarily launch when i log-in. It just launches randomly every hour or so.
I've read that it is the program that allows iCal to display alerts when it's not running, but it never used to be visible in the dock, it doesn't even have a real application icon.
Does someone know how to prevent it from showing up in the dock??
