Asks to register ipod each time itunes opened

itunes asks to register each of my family's ipods everytime we plug them in. We go through all the steps and then it says something like "can't do this at this time" Any advice?

You certainly don't need to register to use your iPods, I'm not sure what the whole purpose of registering is. You can in fact register at any time from the product registration page, it doesn't need to be done through iTunes. You'll find instructions and the link to the product registration page here: How to Register Apple Products on the Web

Constant Keychain Request Each Time iTunes Opens

Each time iTunes opens up it asks me for the password to my keychain. I don't recall it doing this before. I recently did a clean install of Tiger and brought my PBG4 up to 10.4.10, and re-installed all my apps. I updated to iTunes 7.6.2.
Here's the situation. I use a cron job to open an AppleScript(s) and that AppleScript tells iTunes to open and play a specific play list. It used to work great, for years as a matter of fact.
(Most of my library is composed of CD's of mine I've digitized, songs I've made myself on the computer, and a minimal (~few hundred) songs, I've purchased from the iTunes Store.)
In the AM, energy saver wakes the computer and runs a script to play a playlist of bird songs, I highly recommend it! In the past, after an iTunes update, the lawyer-language dialog would always throw a monkey wrench in the works, if I didn't open up iTunes first and accept the license. (In other words iTunes would open, but the legal mumbo jumbo dialog would halt all iTunes prorgress.)
However, the problem that's occurred the past few days is that EVERY TIME iTunes opens up, and my keychain is locked, iTunes won't do a darn thing until I type in my keychain password and then iTunes does some "phone home" thing. This is totally bogus. EVERY TIME!
I am considering having to downgrade to an earlier version of iTunes to avoid this, since I don't recall it happening before.
Can anyone shed some light on this? Help?
This is a laptop, and I have it set to lock keychains on sleep. I also set keychains to lock after a certain amount of time. This is a bit of a security measure and I won't change it. In the past iTunes NEVER needed to connect to the store during initialization.
Imagine that in order for your clock radio to ring the alarm, or play music in the morning, you had to get up and turn it on yourself, this is what I am facing. Rediculous.
Fix? Work around? Help? Other? Thanks in advance!

A bit more info...
iTunes is authorized, the computer is authorized.
And
Even if I hit "cancel" in the Keychain password dialog request, WITHOUT typing in my password, iTunes will play anything from my library, stuff I've bought and my own stuff.
Why is iTunes halting everytime right after it opens with that darn Keychain dialog?!
My goal is for iTunes to work like it used to. To initialize and open up without modal dialogs, and await commands.
What can I do? Downgrade iTunes is the only thing I can think of...
TIA

Take it back to Best Buy and talk to the store manager. Possibly they can work something out with Apple.
In the meantime, try this - Reset the iPad by holding down on the Sleep and Home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons. (This is equivalent to rebooting your computer.)

Adobe lightroom asking for serial number each time I open it. Any suggestions?

I just downloaded Lightroom 5 and updated to 5.7 when prompted on completion of the process. I now have to input the serial number each time I open the programme. Is there any thing I can do, restarting the installation for example, to try and get round this problem?

I have the same thing happen to me. Every time I start Aperture, it asks for the license. Once I have entered the license key it lets me use the application. However, the next time I use the application again, i get the same problem. I have tried reinstalling the application, and am asked for the license key at the beginning of the install and again once the package is started. To no avail. And I get no other messages.
I called Apple Support, and after booking a call with a support person (a Genius?), I got one who, after reading the summary of my problem in the service request, said simply "this is for Aperture? Aperture is a Microsoft product, you have to call Microsoft". And that was that.
Please, anyone have any ideas?

HT201270 Why am I asked to do this each time I open iTunes?

Whenever I connect my iPad or iPhone to iTunes, I am asked to update the settings for the iPad. Why is this, and is it something I can turn off?

Can't help you with an answer, but can at least say that you are probably not alone (at least if you are using an O2 SIM)...

How to turn off asking to remember passwords each time I open a site

Where do I go into 'Tools' to reset Firefox site password manager to 'off'. I don't want to be asked to have a particular site password saved.

If you disable the Firefox Password Manager then you shouldn't get the pop-up to remember passwords.
*Tools > Options > Security: Passwords: [] "Remember passwords for sites"
You can inspect and manage the permissions for all domains on the <b>about:permissions</b> page.
*https://support.mozilla.org/kb/how-do-i-manage-website-permissions
If you do not keep such settings then it is possible that an extension is interfering.
Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode|Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance).
*Do NOT click the Reset button on the Safe mode start window or otherwise make changes.

A Google page opens and asks for my login each time I open Firefox. How do I disable this?

Thanks in advance for any insights.

Try setting a different homepage.

¿What I have to do to avoid or prevent iTunes to auto configurate or autoselect as default media player each time I open it or connect my iPod?.

Hello,
For years I use in my computer Windows Media Player and/or Media Player Classic to play my music and video files and I know quite well all their operation options. My problem is that since I install the iTunes program, mainly for servicing my iPod Touch, every time I connect my iPod to the PC or open iTunes, the iTunes program without any warning or authorization auto configurate as default media player overriding my Windows and Classic Media players, so each time I have to open iTunes and go to the Advanced Preferences Menu and unselect the option " Use iTunes as the default audio application" so to be able to use my favorite media players.
My question is: ¿What I have to do to avoid or prevent iTunes to auto configurate or autoselect as default media player or override my favorite media players, each time I open it or connect my iPod?
Plese your help,
Regards,
Pabl

"Welcome to Itunes" each time I open itunes

Hi all,
Only recently, each time i open up itunes, I get a screen "Welcome to Itunes" and it wan't to take me through steps to set up my library and import songs etc. I don't want to do anything that might possibly cancel my music library, so I say "Cancel" but it keeps popping up each time I open itunes.
Any ideas?
Thanks,

Has anyone solved this "Welcome To iTunes" popup every time you start iTunes? I get it every time. I run Windows XP Pro, iTunes 8.0.2.20, iPod Classic 120GB firmware 2.0.1. I don't believe iTunes has updated itself once since I've installed it (just bought my iPod a month ago).
I tried the shortcut fix I've read all over the internet, about deleting the original shortcut and creating a new one, etc.. to no avail.
All I have to do is click "cancel" on the "Welcome to iTunes" popup when I start iTunes and I get into iTunes normally with all my settings/music intact, but it is just a pain in the but and if someone else comes and uses my PC and clicks through the wizard without clicking "cancel" I'd probably lose everything.
Please help... A couple hundred bucks dropped on this cool gadget and it should work...shouldn't it?

ITunes erases what I've copied each time I open iTunes after transferring

I'm at my wits end, hope someone can help.
I have a new iPod and downloaded iTunes. I started transferring my CDs via iTunes and synced them up with my ipod with no problems. However, after the first initial 20 CDs or so, I shut the computer down and the next day wanted to continue. First, the music was no longer there. Then, when I transferred the same CDs again to iTunes, thinking it was just my error in some way, when I tried to sync my ipod up again, I got the error message that my iPod is linked with another iTunes library, and to sync with this 'new' one I need to delete the old files off the iPod. So I did. Now this SAME thing has happened again. This is a brand new ipod.
Basically iTunes is 'new' each time I open it (with no files) and does not recognize my ipod as being synced with it.
I hope this makes sense.
Thanks in advance for any tips
cheers

Welcome to AD!
Vaio users worldwide have been seeing this problem. Some Sony software causes a conflict with iTunes. You need to set the Sony Content Folder Watcher to leave the iTunes folder alone.
Looks like Sony may have put out an update for that in Asia:
http://www.sony-asia.com/support/faq/300917/productcategory/itpersonalcomputer
Contact Sony to see if they have an update for your model, or configure its software to leave itunes alone.
There is a way to configure the sony software - I don't have a Vaio, but this older topic has directions

Each time I open foxfire a popup asking how to process a download opens and inhibits use of foxfire. How do I stop the popup?

each time I open foxfire a .LNK popup appears asking how to process a download opens and inhibits use of foxfire. How do I stop this and allow me to open and use foxfire browser. This started after I attempted to follow directions to install/associate a .LNK program/file with foxfire to control saving downloads using any browser. Note that I am a novice user. How can I stop this?

The Reset Firefox feature can fix many issues by restoring Firefox to its factory default state while saving your essential information.
Note: ''This will cause you to lose any Extensions, Open websites, and some Preferences.''
To Reset Firefox do the following:
#Go to Firefox > Help > Troubleshooting Information.
#Click the "Reset Firefox" button.
#Firefox will close and reset. After Firefox is done, it will show a window with the information that is imported. Click Finish.
#Firefox will open with all factory defaults applied.
Further information can be found in the [[Reset Firefox – easily fix most problems]] article.

ITunes for Mac 7.7.1 shuts down each time I open it

Each time I open iTunes for Mac 7.7.1, iTunes shuts down. This problem has only just started occurring today on my MacBook that is running OS X (10.5.4).

Solved it!
I added a proxy "PAC" file web link yesterday to access my University's intranet system within "System Preferences" and once I removed this, iTunes started working again.

I have an Acrobat 8 which is all I need. Installed on my new computer which is using Windows 8. Each time I open Acrobat I get a window that say unable to registrator. It gives me three options try again, redo, never register.

Any suggestions?

Probably far too old to register. Sounds like a bug, stopping the "never" selection from working. You may be stuck with it.
