Why is 11.1.3 opening all on its own?

The app is opening randomly on its own and even after I close the app and force close it in some instances, it continuously opens and I can't accomplish a thing as it starts playing music...and randomly starts and stops the song. It is very weird and annoying. Any help would be GREATLY appreciated. Thanks a ton!

my iTunes has stopped the annoying issue... but I have no idea how I stopped it. I think, after I downloaded iTunes from the App store again - it took another 2 days and rectified itself. Sorry I can't be of help and hope you all manage to have this issue resolved.

ITunes 11.0.1 keeps opening up on its own.

Hi all. I have Win 7 64 bit. I have disabled wifi synch I beleive as well as home sharing. Would appreciate any help from anyone as its driving me nuts.
iTunes will invariably open up on its own no matter what I am doing. if I close it, then in 15 mins or so will do it again.
I've learned to just keep it open as a stop-gap measure but hope someone can offer some advice.
Thanks

Woohoo !
It's nothing to worry about and it's certainly not a virus (there aren't any that affect Macs) - it's the icon from an application in your Utilities folder called X11. You can safely click on it, drag it off the dock and it will disappear in a puff of smoke. If it has a a little blue blob under it it means that the app is open so click and hold the icon on the dock and select quit and then drag it off the dock.
It's also worth looking in System Preferences>Users & Groups (if you're on Lion) Accounts (if you're Leopard/Snow Leopard) and click on the Login items tab and check X11 isn't listed. If it is, click on the minus sign to remove it from startup items.
Not sure what X11 is for, I've never used it, but I think it might be something to do with programming (probably wrong though )
Edited to add: Looking at your pic again it has got a blob under it so I reckon it's launching at startup, so do as I suggest with login items or click and hold the icon on the dock and deselect 'Open at Login' under 'Options'.

Apple TV seems to do things all on its own, Solved.

Spent more than two weeks trying to find out why my Apple TV (3rd generation) would turn on by itself, move the selection around and cause the video/music to stop, skip and do other weird things. Searched to see if others had similar problems with there ATVs, found lots of probable fixes but no real solution to my problems.
Having the ATV constantly turning itself on was an inconvenience, but the skipping and stopping during video/music playback was painful. Followed all on the general guidlines for ATV problems, Reset the ATV, local switch, local router, DSL, check ATV iOS version, assigned local reserved addresses, checked router firmware versions, this did not solve the problem. Checked remote, changed battery, un-paired and paired the remote, the remote worked correctly but ATV would still do things like someone else was linked to the ATV. Shut off and disconnected all computers, iPads, iPods and ethernet connected devices, leaving only the ATV hooked up via ethernet to the DSL, ATV worked well but still had spurious actions. Watched the local net traffic, there was no packet traffic at the time of the problems. Had this paranoid thought that my ATV was picking up IR remote signals via my large front window, so the IR front sensor on the ATV was covered, still had my ATV doing weird things all on its own. Though that I might have to bring my ATV into the Apple store for repair/replacement.
About a week later, after suffering quietly through movies and music that would skip forward, stop and pause, I was trying to pair my Apple bluetooth keyboard to my iPad(4) for an evening's presentations. The keyboard would not pair to the iPad even though it had been paired in the past. The keyboard battery was low so it was replaced, still would not pair with the iPad. Why? Now I have two devices to bring to the Apple store.
Then the realization, that sometime ago, I had paired the bluetooth keyboard to the ATV! And the keyboard had been in a tote bag with a few hefty things on it. Was the keyboard sending commands to the ATV because some of the keys were being pressed in the bag? (Pocket dialing?) Checked the Bluetooth settings on the ATV, BT seems to be always on and it was paired to a keyboard, of course it was the keyboard from the bag! Pressed the arrow keys on the keyboard, low and behold the keyboard was controlling the ATV ( as do other playback control buttons on the keyboard). Unpaired the keyboard from the ATV, then checked to see if the ATV would behave, sure enough everything was now OK. So problem solved, my bad, lesson learned: don't pair keyboard to multiple devices, un-pair them when you are done.
It's been a week since the "fix" and everything is fine.

Thanks for your reply Alley Cat.
Well at least I'm not alone, this problem with pairing keyboards and other Bluetooth devices with multiple iMac, MacBooks, Mac Pros, iPhones, iPads and Apple TVs can be very frustrating. Only a few days ago I realized that another problem, with my iPad suddenly playing songs with the cover closed, was related to the "bag keying, bagging" problem that made my ATV look possessed. Ha, ha, seems the wireless keyboard would lacth on to the nearest paired device (as I moved the tote bag arround) and cause intermittent activations. Spooky!
I see this as both a user and an Apple design problem. Wireless input devices users should not pair a device to multiple computer/phone/pad/pod/atvs at the same time. Apple (software, firmware) designers should change the pairing Bluetooth proceedure to warn users that the device has already been paired with another computer/phone/pad/pod/atvs.
example:
Warning: Bluetooth Pairing Fail
An attempt to pair (Input device) xxxxx has failed
because it is already pair with (DEVICE) XXXXX
You must unpair this (Input device) before proceeding
Force an unpairing with (DEVICE) XXXXX?
[ ] Yes, unpair [ ] No, don't unpair
This would only work with devices on the same local network and will not solve all of the problems, but it would certainly help.

My apple macbook pro is about 16mths old, its trackpad seems to have gotten a life of its own. it will be fine then after a few minutes the arrow on the page will start moving and clicking all on its own, im not sure what to do?

My apple trackpad seems to have a mind of its own, it will be fine then it will go wild and start moving all on its own, clicking and going from left to right in spastic motions, what do i do, is it a virus or dust or what?

Does your "System Preferences > Sharing" look like this (no sharing options have check marks)?

The warranty entitles you to complimentary phone support for the first 90 days of ownership.
If you bought the product in the U.S. directly from Apple (not from a reseller), you have 14 days from the date of delivery in which to exchange or return it for a refund. In other countries, the return policy may be different. If you bought from a reseller, its return policy applies.

Why does my phone constantly turn off on its own as if the battery is dead?

why does my phone constantly turn off on its own as if the battery is dead? Its so annoying! Every day once my battery life span is at about 40%, my phone will start shutting down with the dead battery sign once it is down. Then after about 3 minutes i can turn it back on.

Tons of people have this problem with iPhone 4S and 5, whether they are on iOS 6 or 7. You can only hope that one day Apple realizes that this bug (software ? hardware ?) is a *real* pain. So far, they haven't paid attention.

N9 randomly, spontaneously opens apps on its own

Hey There,
So every now and then, my N9 randomly and completely spontaneously just opens and closes apps and functions of the phone completely on its own. This doesn't ALWAYS happen, mostly occurs for a few days at a time, every now and then, but it makes it almost impossible to use the phone at times.
Some examples of this problem are...
swipe and unlock phone, try to open internet(or any other app) and completely different apps open instead, sometimes even run themselves.
I was also in a phone call the other day, and the hold and mute functions operated rapidly and randomly mid-call.
If anyone can help me in anyway, it would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks

<body><p>Sounds like a faulty touch screen layer, have seen similar activity on my friend's phone, his phone is not N9 though. Take it Nokia care point and show them when the screen goes crazy, no choice when it happens randomly would be easy to explain if it happens in front of them.
If a reply has solved your problem click Accept as solution button, doing it will help others know the solution. Thanks.

Why will my firefox not open all the time on my windows xp pro and gives me an error message instead?

I some times get this message "The instructions at "ox879ab0e3 referenced memory at "ox879ab0e3" . The memory could not be "read". Check ok to terminate the program.
And sometimes the session will simply not update since the firefox has shutdown but the then present sites are open but won't update.
If shut down my computer and restart, I have better than an 80% chance that fire fox will not open---probably less than 29% chance that it will open. I have to just repeat the shut down over and over until fire fox will open.

Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions 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.

Why does App Store keep opening on it's own

It comes and goes, but when using certain apps that have ads ( for me it's usually my wallpaper apps) the App Store will automatically open like I had touched an ad. It's usually a King game like candy crush or something, but I won't even have my finger on the screen at all when it does it sometimes. It gets bad enough that whatever I'm trying to do at the time becomes impossible. It will open app store, I'll close it by double tapping and going back to where I was, and it'll happen again within seconds. It's getting really annoying. Anybody have a fix for this?

FCP won't open one of its own files.

Hi, everyone.
I have an fcp project that I need to update and modify. I tried opening it, and I got "File Error: Wrong Type". I read this previous post...
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=8398246&#8398246
...and followed its suggestions. I quit fcp, and tried to open the file again (without the application already being opened). No luck.
Also as suggested, I saved the project file as a txt document, then change it back to an fcp document and open that. No luck again. I get "Unable to open project file".
These remedies worked for the original poster in the discussion, but they haven't worked for me. Anyone have any other ideas?
By the way, this project was created in 2006 on this computer that I'm still using, and with this version of FCP that I'm using -- so I can't fathom why it won't open.
Thanks!

do you want to send me the file and I'll see if I can open it. My email is in my profile. Please "compress" the file before attaching to email

Acrobat 9 Pro possessed, opening docs on its own. What do I do?

I scanned a document and printed to Adobe Acrobat. This opened the Acrobat
program. At some point, either when I was last in Acrobat or today when I told
the program to print to Acrobat, Acrobat seems to think I want several hundred
files opened at once, and proceeds to do so. They seem to be randomly selected
from my collection of PDF docs. I eventually get an error message saying I've
opened too many, please close some. I click ok and absolutely nothing happens
(as far as I can tell). As long as the error message is up I can't close the open docs (but again, OK does nothing).
When I go to the toolbar, all options are grayed out.
The only thing I can do is Force Quit, but when I re-open the same thing happens
all over again (it appears that the same docs are opening, in the same order).
Can anyone tell me how to stop this demon-possession and prevent it from
happening in the future?
With gratitude,
Heidi

CS6 on Windows 7 - when I try and send my project to Adobe Link, then to Encore I repeatedly get the error message "Encore has stopped working, windows will close the program". I get the same error message when I try and open Encore on its own. Help wou

Both when I open Encore as a standalone program, and when I try and export my work via Adobe Link to Send to Encore, I get the same error message - "Adobe Encore has stopped working. Windows will close the program. Help would really be appreciated. Thanks.

Now that is impressive Stan, thankyou! So simple ... I don't suppose you know why the "build" button is greyed out do you? Don't worry if you don't have more "magic dust" at your fingertips, I'll re-check my settings again, and again ... Thanks for your help. Doreen.
