HT1349 I don't have an Apple product. I accidentally signed up for iCloud because I thought I could use it with my iTunes on my PC. Now it won't go away. I have deleted the software but every time I open iTunes it demands I reopen my iCloud session. Help.

I want to get rid of iCloud. I do not currently have an Apple product but thought I could use it with iTunes and my PC. I have deleted the software. I told iTunes to take it off my account, but every time I open iTunes there it is again, asking me to log into iCloud. I can't get Apple support because I don't have an Apple product. I don't know how to get rid of this!

This is for a Mac, but may be similar for a PC.

  • For some strange reason the songs in my library are multiplying. For example, I really only have 4,000 songs but every time I open itunes I have 6,8,10,000 songs! Any one else have this problem.  How do I stop that from happening?

    This "original file cannot be found" thing happens if the file is no longer where iTunes expects to find it. Possible causes are that you or some third party tool has moved, renamed or deleted the file, or that the drive it lives on has had a change of drive letter. It is also possible that iTunes has changed from expecting the files to be in the pre-iTunes 9 layout to post-iTunes 9 layout,or vice-versa, and so is looking in slightly the wrong place.
    Select a track with an exclamation mark, use Ctrl-I to get info, then cancel when asked to try to locate the track. Look on the summary tab for the location that iTunes thinks the file should be. Now take a look around your hard drive(s). Hopefully you can locate the track in question. If a section of your library has simply been moved, or a drive letter has changed, it should be possible to reverse the actions.
    Alternatively, as long as you can find a location holding the missing files, then you should be able to use my FindTracks script to reconnect them to iTunes .

    No.  You can only create an iCloud account on an iOS device or Mac.

  • My Ipod touch plays music but every time I open an app that I have downloaded it closes immediately.  This started happening after updating to the latest version of Ipod software.

    My Ipod touch plays music but every time I open an app that I have downloaded it closes immediately.  This started happening after updating to the latest version of Ipod software.

    Here's a couple things to try:
    1. Reset the iPod by holding the sleep/wake button and home button at the same time for 10-15 seconds until the Apple logo appears on the screen.
    2. Uninstall and reinstall one of your purchased apps. Sometimes this can rectify the issue.
    3. Connect the iPod to iTunes and restore it. New system software usually resolves the issue. Make sure you sync before restoring because a restore removes the data from your iPod.
    Hope one of these works for you!

  • HT204406 Does iTunes match have to look for all music on my computer and send that data to and from Apple every time I open iTunes? This frequently makes iTunes crash before I even get to listen to one song. Installing the latest version of iTunes does no

    Does iTunes have to check all my music for match every time I open iTunes even when nothing has changed in the music folder?  This is just one problem I have with iTunes and match.  Every time I open iTunes, the first thing happening is iTunes checking my music and sending the information to Apple and then waiting for Apple to send back information about match. There is a third step that I have never seen iTunes actually reach as it always crashes before finishing this ritual with my music and match.  Since I paid for match I can no longer use iTunes to listen to any of my music. I like having match function on my iPhone because even 128 GB is not enough space to keep a music library and everything else needed on the iPhone.  But it's been a disaster with iTunes on my Windows 7 PC. I updated iTunes recently and the same problem continues.  I can't find any clear description of how match works but it seems if there has been no change to the music folder then the tedious and buggy process of checking all music for match and sending data back and forth to Apple every time iTunes is used should not be necessary.  Is there possibly something I have to change settings for to help iTunes start without so much to do?

    If your library was working on your computer and then popped up empty all of a sudden then this might be what you need...
    Empty/corrupt library after upgrade/crash
    Hopefully it's not been too long since you last upgraded iTunes, in fact if you get an empty/incomplete library immediately after upgrading then with the following steps you shouldn't lose a thing or need to do any further housekeeping. In the Previous iTunes Libraries folder should be a number of dated iTunes Library files. Take the most recent of these and copy it into the iTunes folder. Rename iTunes Library.itl as iTunes Library (Corrupt).itl and then rename the restored file as iTunes Library.itl. Start iTunes. Should all be good, bar any recent additions to or deletions from your library.
    See iTunes Folder Watch for a tool to catch up with any changes since the backup file was created.
    When you get it all working make a backup!

    I've bought a student plan but every time I open currently downloaded programms I see an automatically opened window that says I'm using trial version and still have several days to use it. How can I change it? It makes me nervous , as it demands serial number, but e-mail i've got from Adobe doesn't contain any serial number or invitation or something like that.

    Press any key on the wireless keyboard after you close the MBP and it goes to sleep. The computer will wake up with the external monitor as its display. This is called Clamshell mode.

  • I want to delete a folder but every time i do, it reappears on my desktop, even after I empty/secure empty the trash.

    I want to delete a folder but every time i do, it reappears on my desktop, even after I empty/secure empty the trash.

    I contracted Security Tool the same way about ten minutes ago on my Win7 Home Premium laptop. Firefox prompted me to do an immediate update the way it normally does, with a convincing update screen that looks like the typical Mozilla update prompt. However, the installer I downloaded was in fact "Security Tool." The program firewalls Firefox to prevent searches and also prevents access to Task Manager via Ctrl-Alt-Del. On the surface this appears to be a particularly nasty strain of malware / scamware, and FF users need to be warned and/or innoculated immediately.

  • Every time I open iTunes I have to agree to the licence . . . . and MORE!

    Windows 7 64 bit  /  iTunes 11.0.4.4
    Every time I open iTunes, I have to perform the following repetitive steps;
    -Accept the license agreement
    -Click Agree on the Welcome Screen
    -Decline the default player offer even though I have checked the "do not show" box
    -Select "Show Menu Bar"
    -Select "Show Side Bar"
    This is getting real tiresome. Help in resolving this issue appreciated - IM

    I found the solution and copy/pasted the stept to take. I got it from another subject related to the problem on this thread and it works for me.

    Re: 'iTunes Software Licence Agreement' every time I open iTunes 
    Feb 12, 2010 6:11 PM (in response to EVVE)
    yep, let's investigate the preference files possibility. First, quit iTunes and log back into your usual user account. Next, we'll have to set your PC up to view hidden files and folders. From the Start menu, click Open.
    In the Organize menu, click Folder and Search Options.
    Click the View tab.
    In the "Advanced settings" pane under "Hidden files and folders" make sure that the "Show hidden files and folders" option is selected.
    Click OK. Now, in Computer, open "Local Disk C:".
    Open the "Users" folder.
    Open the folder with the name of your usual user account.
    Open the "AppData" folder.
    Open the "Local" folder.
    Open the "Apple Computer" folder. Drag the "iTunes" folder you see in there out onto the Desktop. Now launch iTunes. (This will cause iTunes to rebuild that set of preference files.) *The license agreement will appear for you again.* (That is expected behavior when that particular set of preference files is being rebuilt.)
    Cheers all
