Help - I DON'T want iTunes to run on all XP profiles
I couldn't find this topic addressed before, so here goes:
I've set up 2 profiles on XP and I'd like one of them to be as bare-bones as possible. Is there any way to disable iTunes on one of my profiles? I can't find any place in the Preferences section to do this and XP doesn't seem to be any help either.
Any ideas would be welcome!
If you want all remnants of itunes gone in the one profile, that is going to take some time for research and registry editing.
As a start, you could move itunes out of this All Users folder and put it into just the user folder that you want to have itunes.
C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Start Menu\Programs

To restore from backup see:
iOS: Back up and restore your iOS device with iCloud or iTunes
If you restore from iCloud backup the apps will be automatically downloaded. If you restore from iTunes backup the apps and music have to be in the iTunes library since synced media like apps and music are not included in the backup of the iOS device that iTunes makes.

We like listening to music playing from wife's user account.
I want to do some work from my account.
I don't want iTunes to open on my user account.
It keeps trying to, giving me the alert beep and the "Cannot Open iTunes" alert.
How do I make it stop trying to automatically open on one account when it is already playing on the other account?
Again, I want to keep listening to what is playing through my wife's account, therefore I don't want it to open or try to open on my account.
Thanks for any guidance.Thanks. I messed up with my husbands iphone because I was told the wrong thing. Now everytime I sync his phone it makes it look just like the other phone I had. Do you know how I can fix taht for his phone? Any settings I can turn off that will prevent all of my apps/contacts, etc from auto populating his phone?

Don't want iTunes to download Album Artwork
Hi all,
Since I add all the album-artwork by hand (and include it in the mp3-file) I don't want iTunes to download the artwork automatically.
So I think i made all the neccessary settings
(unchecked the 'Automatically download missing album artwork' option in the 'preferences/Store' tab)
, and cleaned the 'iTunes/Album Artwork/Cache/' and 'iTunes/Album Artwork/Download/' folder.
But today I noticed that after start of iTunes, there already/again where folders/files in the 'download' folder, these takes unnecessary disk-space etc, so how can i prevent/enable this?
grts, Peter
(ps, i don't download music from itunes, I rip my own cd's, put them in a separate folder and add these folders to Itunes library, soI have just the same question. I don't want iTunes to store that album artwork, it takes that disk space for nothing, I don't mind if iTunes would have to analyze that data every time I open it

I turned off firefox update but it is getting turned back on and telling me firefox 5.0 is available. I don't want firefox 5.0 until all my plugins work and I don't want to be bothered. I will followup in a few months on update. I use Ccleaner to delete tracks/history/cookies/passwords/site pref and to compress FF DB.
Hi czigrand,
Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.
Currently, you can gift dollar amounts or individual items (EG. songs) on the iTunes Store. See this article for more information:
In the iTunes Store, you can gift a dollar amount or specific music, movies, TV shows, or apps from your iPhone, iPod touch, iPad, Mac, or PC. Follow these steps to send a gift from the iTunes Store.

I just installed Firefox 5. How can I remove the Bing search from the address bar. I don't want to see Bing at all. I tired the Firefox options, right-clicking on the search field and the toolbar selection drop-down but could not find a way to get rid of that unwanted search window.
*'''at the bottom of firefox''' there is a weird looking greenish circle with a lightning bolt in it*
1. click it and hover over to '''PREFERENCES'''.
2. click the second circle that say's '''BING.'''
3. '''Un-check''' both boxes.
4. you're done :)
Note: it's not going to show the google symbol encrypt when you open a new tab it's just going to automatically use google as a search engine. -

how can i delete a number of emails at once? I have a backlog and don't want to go through them all.
No.
With an Exchange or IMAP account you can delete the messages with the email client used on your computer or via webmail access for the account - all server stored mailboxes are kept synchronized with the server with each email client used to access the account.
Not possible with an antiquated POP account. -

I don't want iTunes to launch when I connect iPhone. How do I stop this?
There's a way to rename a file somewhere to prevent either iTunes or iPhoto from launching and mounting iPhone when it is connected. I read about this when I was having a problem one time. I have searched "disable automount itunes" (and other variations) and now I can't find it. Can anybody point me to the thread about this?
I like iPhoto to launch and mount, but I only use iTunes to upgrade the iOS. I would like iPhoto to automount and iTunes to be voluntary (i.e., clicking on the iTunes dock icon, etc.) I don't want to have to unmount iPhone from iTunes and close iTunes every time I simply want to download photos.
Thank you.With a Mac, you need to remove the iTunes Helper from the login items for your computer's login account.
System Preferences > Accounts. Select your login account. Under the Login Items tab for your computer login account, select iTunes Helper followed by selecting the - sign to remove iTunes Helper from your login items.
There is also a way to prevent iPhoto from launching automatically when your iPhone or any digital camera is connected. iPhoto will launch automatically when your iPhone is connected when it includes photos and/or video in your iPhone's Camera Roll only. -
Want to use iPod as a disk, but don't want iTunes to start
Hi,
I am a college student, and I am home for the semester break. I have some files that I am wanting to transfer to my 30GB iPod from our home computer before I go back to school; but when I plug it, in iTunes always starts. My sister has an iTunes library for her Nano on our home computer, and I don't want to mess anything of her's up. Is there any way that I can set iTunes so it doesn't automatically start when I connect my iPod? Any help would be great.
Thanks,
NateI'm afraid you can't change the setting without connecting the iPod since it's in one of the iPod preference tabs. Your iPod is safe as long as it is set to update manually, if it's not then you can use a key combination on your keyboard to prevent it syncing so that you can change the setting. While connecting the iPod to the computer on Windows with iTunes 7.3 or later installed hold down the Shift + Ctrl keys together. This will stop the iPod from auto-syncing with iTunes and the iPod will appear in the source list. Wait until you are sure the iPod has mounted, and that it will not auto sync and then you can let the keys go. This may take between 20 to 30 seconds depending on your computer: iTunes - Keyboard Shortcuts for Windows
If you want to connect and use an iPod on more than one computer you need to change the update preference in the iPod Summary tab to "Manually manage music and videos" and click Apply. The content of iTunes and the iPod are not syncronised in this mode so the two can be different. You can directly access the content of the iPod and play it through iTunes and you can drag and drop whatever you want to the iPod from either library:
Using iPod with Multiple computers
Managing content manually on iPod
Syncing Music to iPod
Something else to be aware of when using an iPod in manual mode is that the "Do Not Disconnect" message will remain on the display until you physically eject the device: Safely Disconnect IPod -

I don't want ITunes and Safari!!!
I tried out ITunes and didn't like it. I do need Quicktime for certain applications and is pretty much a necessity otherwise I would dump it because of the way Apple is trying to force their products down my throat.
Every Apple update now bundles Quicktime and Itunes together so I can't get the security updates without having to go back and uninstall Itunes all over again and tries to push Safari on me. Is there any way to disable the default download of Safari and Itunes in the Apple Update utility?You could uninstall ASU, and go to the following page to pick up the standalone QT installers when a new version comes out:
Latest Quicktime Installers … get the one that doesn’t mention iTunes
At the moment, if you want to keep ASU installed, there's no way that I'm aware of to stop the new updates/applications from showing up in ASU.
Not quite the same thing, but you can make them go away once they've shown up in ASU.
Launch ASU for Windows.
Highlight the updates/applications that you don't want to see again.
Go "Tools > Ignore Selected Updates".
If you want the functionality in ASU to "Never show an update of this type", it might be worth submitting a feature request to Apple using the product feedback forms. ASU doesn't have its own feedback form, but since you go it with QuickTime, the QuickTime feedback form seems appropriate enough:
QuickTime Feedback
Just in case it comes in handy, here's a link to a page where all the Apple feedback forms are located:

Someone tell Apple Software Update that I don't want itunes!!
Is anyone else really annoyed by the apple software update perpetually asking if you want to download itunes?
I have quicktime installed in order to view quicktime movies, and never had any interest in itunes whatsoever. The apple-centric behavior of the Apple Software Update is really annoying! When did i express any interest in itunes to begin with? How does downloading quicktime then give apple the permission to constantly harass me about their other software?? Where was the box to tick to express my disinterst in itunes?Any thoughts?stephenLS wrote:

...And how is this different from Windows Update being Windows-centric? I know when I update on XP, I get listings on updates for everything form the newest Media Player to Outlook. If you don't want the update, then don't select it (or like said above, ignore it).
I'm not trying to flame, but this is a bit trivial. At least now there is a central way of doing Apple Updates, unlike the old days when you had to monitor the Apple website.
So leave the gun, and take the cannoli. It's all good. -
