Apple:please update itunes with ability to disable music store permenanty

Although I believe you when you say you are not storing data on your users, I still would feel more comfortable not having the music store open unless I open it. I should not be connected to you everytime I open itunes , please include the option to disable this default. I should never be connected to the internet just because I want to listen to my own music.

My issue isn't so much with Apple seeing what songs I'm playing, and it's cool that you can just turn the feature off. After all, I'm a loyal Apple customer who regularly buys songs from iTMS and even computers and stuff from Apple Store (I own 3 Macs, 1 Airport Express, and 1 iPod).
My concern is this third-party involvement:

I don't like Apple sending any info of mine to a 3rd party for some nefariously furtive reason, regardless of how well it's legally bulwarked in their EULA.

  • Hello there - how can I share my iTunes library between two users on the same computer? I put the library in a shared folder between both and have selected this library on both as well, but when I update iTunes with music etc it only appears on one?

    Hello there - how can I share my iTunes library between two users on the same computer? I put the library in a shared folder between both and have selected this library on both as well, but when I update iTunes with music etc it only appears on one?

    Thank you Joe - I tried this but it's only showing a teensy amount of music - the stuff on the second users account as opposed to the giagntic library on the 'main' account. I actually went to a Genius Bar and they said that apple doesn't really want you to share music between accounts - parents don't want to hear their kids music etc. Which seemed strange, but it might be the case sadly   Thanks anyway!

  • HT4539 how to enable my apple id on iTunes? Somehow its disabled and I can no longer download Apps on my IPhone ??

    how to enable my apple id on iTunes? Somehow its disabled and I can no longer download Apps on my IPhone ??

    Depending on why it's been disabled you might be able to re-enable it via this page : http://appleid.apple.com, then 'reset your password'
    Or you might need to contact Apple : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/ - click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page
    If it then works on your computer's iTunes but not your phone then try logging out of your account on the phone by tapping on the id in Settings > Store (Settings > iTunes & App Stores on iOS 6) and then log back in and see if that 'refreshes' the account on it

    I am trying to back up my new iPhone after downloading/updating iTunes with iCloud. I get this message: The required file was not found or has a permissions error. Correct this permissions problem and try again, or deauthorize this computer if the permiss
    how do I find the file and replace it or install it?

    I'll reload it tonight when I get home...basically, I bought a new iPhone and downloaded some new medical apps. also had to download an update for iTunes into my mac laptop so I could access iCloud (which was NOT on my prior iTunes software)
    When I synched my new iPhone with the newly downloaded iTunes, I registered my iphone and tried to "back it up" to iCloud and the message indicating that "the required file was not found or has a permissions error...." popped up.
    How do I correct the permissions error, or...am I able to do this somewhere? Or...how do I find the file that is missing?

    (1) Download the Windows Installer CleanUp utility installer file (msicuu2.exe) from the following Major Geeks page (use one of the links under the "DOWNLOAD LOCATIONS" thingy on the Major Geeks page):
    http://majorgeeks.com/download.php?det=4459
    (2) Doubleclick the msicuu2.exe file and follow the prompts to install the Windows Installer CleanUp utility. (If you're on a Windows Vista or Windows 7 system and you get a Code 800A0046 error message when doubleclicking the msicuu2.exe file, try instead right-clicking on the msicuu2.exe file and selecting "Run as administrator".)
    (3) In your Start menu click All Programs and then click Windows Install Clean Up. The Windows Installer CleanUp utility window appears, listing software that is currently installed on your computer.
    (4) In the list of programs that appears in CleanUp, select any iTunes entries and click "Remove", as per the following screenshot:
    (5) Quit out of CleanUp, restart the PC and try another iTunes install. Does it go through properly this time?

  • Any problems with compatibility of update iTunes with OSX 10.7.5

    Has anyone noticed any problems with compatibility of updated iTunes with OSX 10.7.5?

    Okay. At the beginning of this discussion I was on 6.0.1. However, I responded to an update since then and since I didn't realize 6.0.2 wasn't compatible with Lion I responded and updated.
    Now, with your message, a clean 6.0.1 installation sounds like a great idea. However, I've downloaded it from your link and when I install just from the install program, I still have an "About Safari" showing 6.0.2. I then tried setting up a separate Safari folder in the Applications folder and installed into that. I only got some Safari-associated folders and items there but no new Safari app icon... and the Safari 6.0.2 icon (which I hadn't gotten rid of since I don't want to lose my bookmarks, etc... want to transfer those once the 6.0.1 is there) is still there.
    All the hanging-up problems are still happening, btw... and probably even worse. Right now I'm using Camino, a good browser but Safari has features I'd like to get back to... got Firefox, too, and like it, but I've got it set up for other family members to use and Safari here for me.
    Any help on how to get 6.0.1 installed again without losing bookmarks greatly appreciated.

  • I've broken my iPhone and have put my sim card in my old iPhone 3. If I plug my old iPhone 3 into my computer, will it update the iPhone 3 with everything that is on my phone that is now broken, or will it 'update' iTunes with what was on the old iPhone?

    I've broken my iPhone and have put my sim card in my old iPhone 3. If I plug my old iPhone 3 into my computer, will it update the iPhone 3 with everything that is on my phone that is now broken, or will it 'update' iTunes with what was on the old iPhone?

    Plug your phone into the wall charger for at least 30 minutes...make sure you have a sim card in the phone...then:
    Leave the USB cable connected to your computer, but NOT your phone, iTunes running, press & hold the home button while connecting the USB cable to your dock connector, continue holding the home button until you see “Connect to iTunes” on the screen. You may now release the home button. iTunes should now display that it has detected your phone in recovery mode, if not quit and reopen iTunes. If you still don’t see the recovery message repeat these steps again. iTunes will give you the option to restore from a backup or set up as new.
    Make sure you have no anti-virus software running or any firewalls...turn all of that stuff off.

  • ITunes Can't Connect to Music Store or Update Server

    Hi.
    Something is wrong with my internet settings and I don't know what it is. Certain programs are having trouble connecting to external sites, for example:
    -iTunes won't connect to update server
    -iTunes won't connect to music store
    -Software Update can't connect to update server
    -Gmail Notifier can't connect to mail server
    I just got a new iPhone and can't configure the bloody thing - can someone please help me out?

    Does any other PC/Mac experience this same issue?
    If not then we at least know the issue is isolated to 1 machine having a particular issue.
    But if it happens on Iphone and other machines then yes there is a network issue.
    One simple thing you could do. Connect your PC directly into the cable modem see if services come back. If they do then something within the router is not working correctly.
    At which point consult your router manufacture. Or even power cycle router for 5 min aka disconnect power, reconnect, reconnect to modem. And test connections again.

  • ITunes can't connect to Music Store - error 502

    Since updating to iTunes version 7.1.1, I haven't been able to connect to the Music store at all. I've sent messages to Apple twice stating my problem, but I haven't gotten a response at all. My connection, of course, is fine, but I can't connect. The message I get is "iTunes cannot connect to the Music Store. An unknown error occurred (error 502). Please check to make sure your network connection is working and try again."
    Anybody have any answers?

    You may want to consider performing the following to be sure no software is conflicting with iTunes:
    1.) Disable all anti-virus software you may have running
    2.) Disable all firewall software you may have running
    3.) Disable all web acceleration software you may have running
    4.) If you are connected to the internet via an internet router, please disconnect it and connect directly via your broadband modem

  • ERROR MESSAGE 401 - ITUNES COULD NOT CONNECT TO MUSIC STORE

    I've rencently tried to download some tunes from the Music store but keep getting this error message:
    "ITUNES COULD NOT CONNECT TO THE MUSIC STORE - AN UNKNOWN ERROR OCCURED (401)"
    "MAKE SURE YOUR NETWORK CONNECTION IS ACTIVE & TRY AGAIN"
    This message happened before I downloaded the latest version ofITunes & is still happening after the download!
    I've checked all possible settings & everything is fine
    What is going on????
    DELL   Windows XP

    Problems connecting to the iTunes Music Store usually stem from issues with the Windows firewall, a privacy filter (such as Mcafee) or a download accelerator. Start here:
    iTunes for Windows: Overview of Music Store Errors
    for some basic tips to start isolating the cause of the problem. Your ISP (or your network administrators if you're on a company network) may have also changed something that is now blocking access.
    Hope this helps.

  • Updating iTunes with error message "this application has failed to start because MSVCR80.dll was not found"?

    After updating iTunes, has anyone got the message "this application has failed to start because MSVCR80.dll was not found. Re-installing the application may fix this problem." message and "iTunes was not installed correctly. Please re-install iTunes. Error 7 (Windows error 126)"?  I've tried everything from un-installing and re-installing iTunes to deleting the SC Info. Any help would be greatly appreciated

    Click here and follow the instructions. You may need to completely remove and reinstall iTunes and all related components, or run the process multiple times; this won't normally affect its library, but that should be backed up anyway.
