How to adjust start up for iTunes Helper.exe

XP Home, SP2, iTunes 7.1.0.59,
in msconfig there are two start up iTunes releated items:
iTuneshelper.exe,
qttask.exe
I wish to tweak my system and remove these from Starting up, thus, msconfig startup, and access them only when I start iTunes or something related to Quick Time.
Please advise in explicit detail how to adjust the settings for both iTunes and Quick Time so as to have them only start when I turn them on manually.
Thank you in advance,
Robert

qttask is just the system tray icon for Quicktime. You can stop this from the advanced tab of Qicktime preferences.
There isn't a simple adjustment for iTunesHelper.exe. It doesn't use significant resources unless something is wrong and you should leave it alone.
There is a short piece on what the background processes do here:

If you must control iTunesHelper startup, maybe something like Winpatrol would help help.

    How do I verify that I have sufficient priviledges to start services for iTunes?

    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.

  • Please tell me how to adjust field width for alv data .

    Hi,
          Please tell me how to adjust field width for alv data . Also i want to remove zeros after decimal coming in field.
    Regards,
    Ranu

    Hello Ranu,
    You need to set OUTPUTLEN field from field catalog table for every column.
    DATA lt_fieldcat TYPE lvc_t_fcat
    DATA lw_fcat type lvc_s_fcat .
    lw_fcat-fieldname = 'BNAME' .
    lw_fcat-inttype = 'C' .
    lw_fcat-outputlen = '12' .  -----> for e.g. set width of column BNAME
    lw_fcat-coltext = 'User Name' .
    lw_fcat-seltext = 'User Name' .
    APPEND lw_fcat to lt_fieldcat .
    Hope this resolves your issue!
    Thanks,
    Augustin.

  • How long does it takes for iTunes to restore software on a 5s?

    How long does it takes for iTunes to restore software in a iPhone?

    There are three major portions involved in a restore:
    1.  Downloading the latest copy of iOS to your Mac for installation on the iPhone.
    2.  Installing the software from your Mac onto the iPhone.
    3.  Restoring all the contents of your iPhone (except iOS, which was done in the above step).
    Step 1 will depend on your Mac's download speed.  We are talking about downloading more than 1GB.
    Step 2 should take about 10 minutes or less.
    Step 3 will depend on how much personal stuff (e.g., apps, photos, music) you had on your iPhone.  It might take minutes, or an hour or more.

    Take a look here:

    Read the steps carefully as the order in which you follow them is  critical. Note that you can do this only when creating a new Apple ID. You cannot use an existing ID. 
    You will of course not be able to get anything other than the free apps,  iTunes U content or podcasts without entering in some sort of payment method (credit card, prepaid iTunes card, gift certificate, etc.)

  • ITunes Helper.exe - Entry point not found error after upgrade

    I just tried to install the latest iTunes software for Windows on two separate PCs running XP Pro SP3 and get the same error on both PCs at every windows startup: iTunes Helper.exe - Entry point not found. The procedure entry point sqlite3preparev2 could not be located in the dynamic link library SQLite3.dll. Is this a known issue with a fix?

    Hmmm. Roy B has some advice on that one in the following post:

  • My files are a mess - how can I start over in iTunes?

    Over the years, my music files have become scattered all over between different locations on my internal drive and various externals. I have tons of duplicates, lost files, and it's just a general mess.
    I would like to do a search for all my music files, and completely start over with iTunes and keep them on my MacBook Pro. I have room on my internal (or would, if they were oranized properly and I got rid of duplicates!) but a lot of the files that show up on iTunes are on an external so of course it will ask me where they are. This is driving me crazy and I want to just scrap everything and start over fresh.
    I have a 1TB external that I can dump them all on while I change over.
    Any suggestions on the best way to do this would be welcome, as well as whether there are programs available that would help with this (or is it just as doab;e without a separate application).
    TIA, Alicia Morgan

    basically, the question is: does iTunes know where all these files are ? or does iTunes show a "!" next to any files ?

    once you have gotten rid of dupes and located the lost files, you could consolidate your library:
    (a) go iTunes > preferences > advanced and make sure
    o iTunes media folder location is pointing to the iTunes music folder on your startup disk
    o +keep iTunes media folder organized+ is checked
    o +copy files to ... when adding to library+ is checked
    (b) have any external HD holding any of your media files is mounted on your desktop
    (c) go file > library > organize library > consolidate files
    if the option to +upgrade to iTunes media organization+ is available, select that too.
