When I begin a video or movie, etc on AppleTV, a (different) movie, show, video or music will begin playing on my iTunes from my computer. Even when I quit the one playing on computer, another will start. Quitting iTunes on the computer doesn't preclude it from happening either, it will start up again on its on. Doesn't happen every time, but fairly often. Any idea why or how to keep it from happening.
MacBook Pro, iOS 7.1
Sounds like your remote is controlling both the Apple TV and your computer.
If you don't want to use a remote with your computer the easiest thing to do is just to turn the IR off. (System Preferences > Security > General, click on the Advanced button in the bottom right corner - If the button is greyed out, click on the lock icon and enter your administrators password)
If you still want to use your computer remote then you must pair your computers remote with the computer AND the Apple TV remote with the Apple TV.
To pair a remote with a device hold down the menu and FF buttons together for six seconds or until you see a chain icon on screen (best take the computer into another room, or turn it off, when you do this)
Thank you, I'll try that.
