ITunes stops/starts songs every time certain keys are pressed, whether application is open/active or not.

iTunes stops/starts songs whenever ENTER,"/" [num pad] or DELETE is pressed, whether the application is open/active or not. Updated to most recent version a few days ago, though this began seemingly spontaneously today, possibly tied to an iPad sync although I really have no idea how it could have started.

Hello Brian,
Thank you for providing the details of the issue you are experiencing with iTunes.
I recommend reviewing the following article to see if any third-party plug-ins could be causing the problem:

Xorg shutting down when certain keys are pressed

Hello after some recent updates, I've experienced that xserver is shutting down and I need to restart my computer to get a working a system back.
When I hold keys like backspace arrow keys this happens, anyone experienced the same lately?

Hi. I'm trying to download itunes on vista 32 bit. I've uninstalled my previous version of itunes. Each time I start downloading it stops at 12% - every time. I've turned off my pop-up blocker. Any ideas greatly appreciated

Hi. I'm trying to download itunes on vista 32 bit laptop. I've uninstalled my previous version of itunes. Each time I start downloading it stops at 12% - every time. I've turned off my pop-up blocker. Any ideas greatly appreciated

After this frustrating event, just wanted to let others know how I solved it. After fully deleting iTunes 8 - still no success. Finally went to the Apple store in Perth WA. Using their in store wireless, it downloaded fully. I use wireless 3 and obviuosly the signal is not strong enough. The Apple store is one amzing experience - worth the frustration with getting iTunes 10 downloaded. Will have to take another visit to the store as my upgrades keep falling over.

Itunes starts Aperture every time I plug in a device. can I stop it?

I understand it is just trying to download pictures... but I don't want it to download until I'm ready (or willing).
How do I stop it from starting Aperture every time I sync my phone?
Thanks.

Okay! Browsing here has answered my question. Thanks to all.
For the record you need to start Image Capture (in applications directory) and Aperture. In both you need to go to preferences and set the "when connected start this" setting to " no application".
Problem solved.

Hi Shawn and Jason,
I have the same problem. One workaround is to clean your disk before running LiveCycledesigner. After you have cleaned up your disk LiveCycleDesigner will start a few times and you can work with it.
It is an Vista problem. LiveCycleDesigner 8.1 which is just released had fixed the problem so you can also download 8.1

Any way to move the Radio tab (Itunes Radio) right? Because it's the left-most tab, it loads first..forcing me to click on songs every time itunes loads. I'll never use ITunes Radio. The screen will forever be trying to sell me on using it. Its free, I know. Still not using it.

Awesome post. This is the best description I've seen of what continually makes me angry about Apple. I guess their attitude is, "Whoa, look at all this money! If it ain't broke, why fix it?" And Margthecar the I keep shoveling money into their coffers ....

My iPhone is skipping back to the start of a song every time I unlock it, especially when I am replying to a text message, this is very frustrating and just want to know if it is a simple bug that will be dealt with in the next update?

Assuming the phone isn't jailbroken, the basic steps (as needed) are:
Restart phone (you already did this)
Reset phone
Restore phone in iTunes using a backup
Restore in iTunes as new, without using a backup
See appendix B of the User Guide for details
http://manuals.info.apple.com/en_US/iPhone_iOS4_User_Guide.pdf
If your phone is jailbroken, this is the most frequent cause of the problems you described. Restoring could permanently brick the phone.
Note that your iOS is old and the current version is 4.2.8. It's odd that it wasn't updated when your activated your phone in iTunes, being that you got it last Friday.

Go to settings > messages > send & receive
check or uncheck the correct phones numbers and/or email addresses

I have iTunes 10.4 and every time I open it my CPU usage hits 100%. This makes my computer really slow and almost unusable. How do I stop this? Another effect is that I cannot log onto the iTunes Store. I click on it and it says it is loading the iTunes store but the window remains blank.

So do I!

'iTunes Software Licence Agreement' every time I open iTunes

Since the most recent iTunes update, I'm getting the 'iTunes Software Licence Agreement' window every time I open iTunes (screenshot - http://img508.imageshack.us/img508/5265/68707078.png) -- to which I have to select 'agree' to access normally.
Why? And anyway to stop this?
Thanks in advance.

*Replying to Gareth L*
Though on my own account, its still comming up with the "set up" screens before it starts.. any other ideas i could try?
iTunes setup assistant runs every time you launch, user-account-specific issue ... I think your other set of iTunes preference files (in your normal user account) might be damaged, Gareth. (Have experimented with this on my XP PC ... rebuild one set and the license agreement runs, rebuild the other set and the iTunes Setup assistant runs. So damage to the 'other" set might be causing your relentless-setup-assistant thing.)
So, we'll try swapping out your other set of pref files. Here's Windows 7 instructions. Make a note of any custom preferences you have set up, because this procedure will return everything to default that wasn't returned to default by rebuilding the other set. You might also have to reinstall any third-party iTunes add-ons/plug-ins after doing this one, too.
Here's Windows 7 instructions for rebuilding "the other set" *(Step 10* contains the crucial difference from the license-agreement-problem instructions).
First, quit iTunes if you have it open.
Next, you'll need to make sure you are set up to view hidden files and folders in Vista (or 7).
1. From the Start menu, click Open.
2. In the Organize menu, click Folder and Search Options.
3. Click the View tab.
4. In the "Advanced settings" pane under "Hidden files and folders" make sure that the "Show hidden files and folders" option is selected.
5. Click OK.
Next, you'll remove the iTunes preference folder (and contained file).
6. In Computer, open Local Disk: C or whichever drive your documents are stored on.
7. Open the Users folder.
8. Open the folder with the name of the Vista (or 7) user account in which iTunes always shows the setup assistant in when launching.
9. Open the AppData folder.
10. Open the Roaming folder.
11. Open the Apple Computer folder.
12. Drag the iTunes folder out onto the Desktop.
Now you'll rebuild the preference folder and file.
13. Launch iTunes. This will cause iTunes to rebuild that preference folder and file. *The setup assistant will appear for you again.* (That is expected behavior when that particular preference folder and contained file are being rebuilt.)
14. Now quit iTunes and launch iTunes again. If the preference folder and contained file have been successfully rebuilt, the setup assistant should not appear this time.
... any luck with that?

Ipod touch not being recognized by itunes (but is registering as an external drive by the computer itself) have updated and reinstalled itunes, stopped/started apple mobile device and removed any mobile programs associated with my non apple cellphone. This seems to have started happening after the last Itunes update I did as I was able to put music on my ipod touch a month or so ago. Is there some way to go back to an older version of itunes? I really have no idea what else to do since I followed every step on the trouble shooting page for windows 8.

I had this problem too and my roommate solved it!
Go to 'Settings'
'Music'
Scroll to the bottom and enter your password to log onto your home sharing
Then connect to iTunes and sync!

Does ipod automatically start charging every time hook up to pc?

Does the ipod start charging every time I hook it up to a pc? Can I shut this off in any way?
If I'm doing a battery calibration and completely draining the battery I don't want it to start charging again just because I need to upload some songs which might cause the ipod to stay plugged in for 5-10min.
Thank you.
Dorian

My mother used to be the bill payer on my iTunes account so now every time I send an email from my iCloud account it sent with her name, how can I change the settings so emails are sent from myself?

My mother used to be the bill payer on my iTunes account so now every time I send an email from my iCloud account it sent with her name, how can I change the settings so emails are sent from myself?
I've changed the bill payer to myself but it stills says on emails that I sent that its from my mother.

In order for the "From" field to show you options on the "from" addresses available, you must set them up in the Preferences > Accounts first.
I can't show you a screen shot of the from field because I currently only have one account, so the from address used is the default. However, when I had more than one, then options will show up in your compose/reply window.
You'd need to add an account here:
