on my imac iTunes is randomly opening and playing the songs!  Help.

During the last week, I noticed that my iTunes will open randomly on its own.  Sometimes it will start to play music and other times not.  First thought that perhaps I was going crazy, but it just happened while I was in the room and I witnessed it with my own eyes, two ears.  I not attached external speakers and not iTunes special "Add-ons" to explain this oddity.  Everyone?

Some older models of iMac have IR (infrared) entry, like the type used with the TV remote control.  Is there a nearby used TV (or another source of IR signals), and your iMac has entered infrared, it can get picked up.  If your iMac has IR, you will see its value in the following location

Preferences system Security & Privacy pane Advanced button disable the infrared remote control receiver checkbox

If you see that, check that box.

I have not attached external speakers

So there is nothing plugged into the port of the iMac (headphone jack) audio output?

  • If I change a file name in my ITunes library, iTunes will find changed leadership and play the song?

    I'm trying to back up my iTunes files, but my classical music has too long file names?  If I abbreviate the names of file, iTunes will find these files and play the songs? Also, what is the best way to change a name of file to an album at the same time?

    I'm not as familiar with the Windows platform, but if your main drive and the system supports file names that are long which is why your backup drive? You use a different format on your backup disk?

  • reinstalled itunes on new pc and all the songs are duplicated

    r

    I reinstalled iTunes on new pc and all the songs are duplicated. How can I delete everyone else?

    iTunes can create duplicates if the same content is added several times from outside the media folder when it is about to make copies of everything that is added to the library, or is added from an external drive that hosts the press kit that was disconnected during the launch of iTunes.

    Official notice of Apple on the duplicates is here: find and remove duplicates in your iTunes library. This is a manual process and article fails to explain some of the potential pitfalls such as the lost coast and membership of playlist, or sometimes the same file can be represented by multiple entries in the library as well as a removal and recycling the file will break all the others.

    Use MAJ > display > show items to reproduce exactly to display the duplicates because it is normally a selection more useful. You must manually select all but one of each group to remove. Sort the list by Date added can make easier select appropriate tracks, but it works better when executed immediately after the dupes were created.  If you have several entries in iTunes connected to a same file on the disk hard then don't not send to trash.

    Use my DeDuper script (Windows only) If you are not sure, do not want to do it by hand, or want to maintain ratings, play counts and playlist membership. See this background thread , this post for detailed instructions and Please take note of the warning to back up your library before deduping.

    (If you don't see the menu bar press ALT to temporarily view or CTRL + B to keep displayed.)

    The latest version of the script can put away the dead links as long as there is at least a double live to merge his stats and membership of the playlist and must deal wisely when the same file has been added through multiple paths.

  • Windows media player will not open and play the videos uploaded on my gmail account but if I send email from my yahoo account.

    But if I send the email to my yahoo account, it will open and play very well.  I ran microsofts 'fix it' program many times without success. What could be wrong?

    Hello Tango6,

    Maybe your security software prevents this? What security software currently installed and have you tried to disable it temporarily?
    Given that this occurs only with your Gmail account, I'd be willing to bet that they have in place security measures to prevent reading straight out of email attachments.
    I would check here just to make sure that:
  • Start Media Player to start and play the songs in a folder only.

    I have Windows 7 business, Windows Media Player version 12.0. I want Media Player to start and play some songs from group in a directory only. How is that possible? And be able to extinguish easily.

    Several steps but each one is simply that your employer [who provided your Windows 7 Enterprise Edition] did not in the group policies that inhibit the task.

    1. open WMP

    2. create a playlist containing the songs you want to play

    3 go to the folder selections - by default, this will be the C:\Users\yourusername\Music\Playlists

    made 4 right click on the relevant Playlist, select Create a shortcut [then rename the shortcut if you wish]

    5 Ctrl-x to cut the shortcut

    6. click on the Start button and then right click on the words, all programs at the bottom, and then select Open

    7 navigate down through programs in your Startup folder to

    \AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\StartupyourusernameC:\Users\

    8 Ctrl + v to paste the shortcut it

    Note that you will be able to change the list of reading as much as you want as long as you do not change its name.

  • downloaded an album purchased from itunes on my IPOD and all the songs are cut one or two minutes before the end of the song! Help, please

    I bought an album (Hot Tuna for $16.99. All songs downloaded on my IPOD, but all songs have been cut until they end. I contacted Apple and have not heard a thing. Did not get a refund either. Someone please tell me what is happening. Thanks, Jeff

    Try to remove the music album / iPod by it slide to the left and tap on delete for each song. Repeat this until you have removed the album in full, and then try redownloading the album from iTunes on your iPod. If the problem persists try restarting your iPod by pressing and keeping the Power + Home keys until the iPod reboots.

    I hope this helps!

  • Open and close the Panel the Subvi front

    Hi all

    Run LabVIEW 2011 on Windows 7 x 64.  I am trying to get a Subvi front to open from my main PC with the touch of a button, then close with a button press in the Subvi.  Here's the piece of my main FP who calls the VI and opens the FP

    Locations is defined in another loop and all loops are in a flat order.  I made this way because I want to start with the first press and not stop my main loop to run.  So I don't know if I can run in the same line as the event or not, I've moved the element to the left loop around a lot.  Anyway the VI of openness seems to work very well.

    The problem arises when you try to close the Subvi for the SECOND time.  The code is here:

    As I said, the first time I open and close the VI everything works as it should, hopefully.  Then, I am able to reopen but now 'empty' button does not work and I can't close the window or even to open the block diagram to probe anything.  I tried to understand this point for a while, any insite would be greatly appreciated!

    Thank you

    Found my problem, I had the wrong boolean on one of my other events.  If this seems to be a good way to open/close a Subvi if anyone is interested!

  • Dreamweaver CC 2015 does not open. It freezes at the opening and wrote "the program will not respond" anyone have an overview?

    Dreamweaver CC 2015 does not open. It freezes at the opening and wrote "the program will not respond" anyone have an overview? I used it for a month without any problems and then today it will not open.

    Thank you Nancy O. This proposal has helped me. Dreamweaver is unresponsive to the launch. Not sure what happened because it was working fine last week. Restore preferences enabled him to proceed as usual.

    For Windows users: find the executable on your system in Dreamweaver. Press and hold the Key Windows + Ctrl + Shift while launching this (double click).
