Every time I start iTunes the Setup Assistant appears (V.2)

I have the same problem as this person
http://discussions.info.apple.com/message.jspa?messageID=1877896
But in that folder I only have
Cookies (folder)
iTunes Plug-ins (folder)
CD Info.cidb (file)
iTunesPrefs (file)
I am confused what should I do now?
Thanks
Moon.

These are the files under
C:\Users\username\AppData\Local\Apple Computer\iTunes
Cache (Data Base File)
iPodDevices (XML Document)
iTunesPrefs (XML Document)
And Under
C:\Users\username\AppData\Roaming\Apple Computer\iTunes
Cookies (folder)
iTunes Plug-ins (folder)
CD Info.cidb (file)
iTunesPrefs (file)
What am I looking for? What should be in there?

ITunes 7 Setup Assistant appears at every iTunes Startup

Everytime I start iTunes, the Setup Assistant asks setup questions. It seems that most setup information it collects plus other setup options entered in "Preferences" is not remembered when iTunes is shutdown. I have not seen this specific problem addressed in this "Installing & Updating..." forum so I thought I would start this thread.
What I have tried:
1. Uninstall and Reinstall iTunes 7.
2. Removing and replacing "iTunes Library.itl" with my last working version.
The problem is still there. However, after performing #2 above, it does now seem to remember that my library is located on HD "H:" and not the default "C:". Other settings are not remembered though and I still get prompted with the "iTunes Setup Assistant" each and everytime I startup iTunes. Any help in correcting this problem would be appreciated.

I tried deleting the 2 files with the following results:
1. C:\Documents and Settings\<username>\Application Data\Apple Computer\iTunes\iTunes.pref was present but had a date of 9/12... the date I originally updated to iTunes 7.
2. C:\Documents and Settings\<username>\Local Data\Application Data\Apple Computer\iTunes\iTunes.pref did not exist...
3. I noted that both folders containing these files are marked "read only". (Is this proper?) I did try removing the "read only" but was not successiful. That attribute returned every time I checked.
4. Neither of these 2 files have been rewritten even though I have restarted iTunes several times.
I am still being asked the same questions at each startup. I dont think I mentioned that while iTunes is installed at the normal default location on my drive C:, my music library is located on my external H: drive where it has been for better than a year now. iTunes is remembering its location.
You suggested I try setting up a new library... I assume I will be able to recover my original without much trouble. It's not huge, but I do have several thousand songs in it.

Every time I start iTunes I get the message: "iTunes exec has been set to run in compatability mode for an older version of Windows. Turn off compatability mode for iTunes before you open it." How do I turn off the compatability mode?

Every time I start iTunes I get the message: "iTunes exec has been set to run in compatability mode for an older version of Windows. Turn off compatability mode for iTunes before you open it." How do I turn off the compatability mode? Particularly when I have to do it before I turn on iTunes.

Try the following document, only be sure that none of the boxes in the compatibility mode tab are checked (not just the compatibility mode box itself):

Error -48 EVERY time I start iTunes for Windows

Every time I start iTunes from windows, I get a dialog with this error message:
"The iTunes Library file cannot be saved. An unknown error occured (-48)"
That's it. Stupid, uninformative and useless.
I ALWAYS check "do not warn me again" but it ALWAYS warns me next time I open itunes.
It seems that my library is saved because it loads properly next time I start iTunes.
Any ideas?

Try uninstalling and reinstalling:

My Itunes Match crashes every time I start Itunes

I have the current iTunes. I have cloud match. every time i start itunes it goes through the match process and gets to the part where it's going to upload the songs it wasn't able to match (about 325 out of 22.5k) and "itunes has stopped working" every time. These are songs I've loaded to itunes from CD's. Any ideas on what to do?

Hi,
There may a problem track amongst those tracks that are waiting. Firstly, add iCloud status column to song view - go to menu > view > view options and tick box.
Next is to examine those tracks waiting - is there anything unusual or large? You may need to remove all those tracks waiting from your library. Next hold shift key whilst turning off match. Close iTunes, reopen and turn on match. You will be asked to add this computer, do so. The match process should be quick, match will remember previous matches and uploads.
Once process complete, readd those tracks, a small batch at a time. This will help you find any track that match does not like.

Kernel panics are usually hardware.
Hold down 'd' key and it should boot into Apple Hardware Test, or insert your OEM install DVD to do so.
No, we are mere users and mortals and usually you need to do some troubleshooting by trial and error and testing. Schedule an appointment.

Every time I start Fire fox an error appears that reads UNABLE TO CONNECT. I believe I accidently hit BLOCK rather then ALLOW. How to I reverse my mistake?

Every time I start Fire fox an error appears that reads......
Firefox can't establish a connection to the server at www.yahoo.com.
* The site could be temporarily unavailable or too busy. Try again in a few moments.
* If you are unable to load any pages, check your computer's network connection.
* If your computer or network is protected by a firewall or proxy, make sure that Firefox is permitted to access the Web.

A possible cause is security software (firewall) that blocks or restricts Firefox without informing you about that, possibly after detecting changes (update) to the Firefox program.
Remove all rules for Firefox from the permissions list in the firewall and let your firewall ask again for permission to get full unrestricted access to internet for Firefox.

ITunes Setup Assistant runs every time I start iTunes 7.3.1.3

The past 2 iterations of iTunes have had the same problem for me - even though the program is installed already, it doesn't save my settings and runs the setup assistant every time I start the application. I've gone through the assistant twice and put everything as I had it previously but, once I close the program and restart, the assistant pops up again and my settings are gone. I never had this problem until 7.3 or 7.3.1 and it's very frustrating... (>_<)<br>

Well, iTunes appears to finally work correctly. I don't know exactly why this is but it's due to one of three possible things. First, I uninstalled the 2 programs that I had installed to monitor what music I played for their services. These programs were Last.fm for Windows Version 1.3.1.1 iTunes plugin version 2.0.11.0 and Virb.com iTunes Plugin Version 1.0.0.5. Finally, instead of using the Apple Software Update on my computer as I had previously, this time I went directly to Apple's website, downloaded the entire iTunes + Quicktime install package, and reinstalled from that. After doing so, the Setup Assistant ran again but finally remembered my altered settings upon program restart. Now that iTunes was working properly, I have reinstalled both plugins and they now appear to function properly without negatively affecting iTunes. I hope this helps people who have also installed plugins to monitor their music listening patterns and had problems with the latest iTunes update.

ITunes asks for my password every time I start iTunes

I have a MBP tunning Lion 10.7.2. I am running iTunes version 10.5.1. Everytime I start iTunes it asks for my itunes password to make automatic downloads available. So I enter it. But the next time I start iTunes it asks again, and again and again. If I hit cancel it will ask again. If I Sign Out of the store it won't ask anymore, until I sign into the store again. If I stay signed in and I hit cancle when it asks it still lists me as signed in.
This seems to have started since Lion.
Any suggestions? It's very annoying.

Okay, I think I got the answer. I went to the Apple store and asked a salesman who pointed me in the direction of another salesman who knows his stuff. I've only done this for a few days, but it seems to be working.
Open itunes and sign out and de-authorize. You must do both.
He reccomended going into keychain access and deleteing the itunes entry. I could not find it, which may have been the problem, more later.
I then rebooted and cleared PRAM for good measure.
Now restart itunes and sign in and authorize.
I did this on Monday night and have not been having the problem, I opened itunes several times and rebooted several times, etc.
Today I checked keychain access and now I see an itunes entry.
I think it is okay now!

I have iDVD 6, every time i start up the program it automatically quits, why does it do this?

im trying to make a movie and every time i start up iDVD 6 it just quits about 30 seconds after i start it! please some one help me

Hi
What version of
• iDVD 6 -----> 6.0.X ?
• QuickTime ?
I know that
• Mac OS X.4.11 and iDVD 6.0.4 and QuickTime 7.5.5 works
But for Mac OS X.5.8 - I guess that QT 7.6 would work with iDVD 6.0.4

Thanks for repling '''TheOldFox'''. ...''"A database of malware and phishing sites known to Google is maintained in your Profile folder. "''...
I did deselect and disable those phishing and malware updates to see if they were the issue. I was trying to experiment, if it would still call back to Google.
Apparently Google is trying to maintain this for "web security" and developers of Firefox work together to code the browser so it checks at a pre-designated site. After one connect, the list of malicious, bad and ominous web sites are put like a data file in our profile for each browser. The browswer already has the last 20k to 30000 bad websites in it, and so there is no need go back to Google at browser-start, to check or refresh this list at each start-up (especially if the end user is only going to browse the same websites the day or hour before).
I can understand going back once a week, every three days or once a month (after the first contac), '''but at each point of start-up, it is not necessary. '''
'''Traditionally, end users are give the option to do this on their own.''' I would like this option restored if possible in Firefox browser. Why does Firefox and Google try to deprive the user of this choice? I makes it run like spyware runs, by causing users to go and report to Google, each time they start their profile/web-browser.
I have always thought, programs that did this without announcement, or giving users a choice (even under a banner like "national security," or "for your own good"), were just as capable of giving a false information to get the users to not care if they are being spied on.
TheOldFox, I have read your reply and do not wish to be disrespectful, but you are almost like that happy insurance salesman who is trying to warn of a flood, even 8000 feet above sea level: When talking with the majority of people, 92 out of a 100 might live at sea level or in flat valleys under a mountain run off; a big storm drops a lot of water and all the creeks rise out of their beds; widdening the rivers soon thereafter. But for the person living above 8000 feet, that water is usually rushing down so fast that it channels and carries itself away quickly. [[(They have no need for flood insurance and to pay that extra for prevention, because their house is built on a big rock. But the salesman cannot see that when talking to a large group, and always has to try to sell the flood-insurance package; and it is up for the buyer to refuse to buy it.) This is to say, you may be a good salesman but I know how to express no, in a nice and polite way.:D]]
'''It is a type of spying on users of the web-browswer, because it does not give the user a choice and does not announce what it is doing.''' Nor does it explain what it is doing (in user docs) after you disable those options even as an experiment, and it is still "phoning home" ...
So why does it still do this, to Google? Why does it not go back to firefox or mozilla?
I am guessing, it has something to do with monitoriing what each user is using in the way of add-ons, so that developers can keep tabs on how popular an add-on is.
My questions is still open. I want to learn how to stop this from occuring ('''at each and every start up'''). Please help.
{{{TheOldFox, I will read those links and see if that helps and post back here later. For now question is still open. Thank you. }}}
