HT2729 is it normal for itunes to open when I click on quick times links?

I just installed a new version of Quick Time Player after I uninstalled it
I have not used it for a long time.
Everytime I click on something to view (like a HD Movie or new artist) I get re-routed to ITunes.
I hate this !
is this how it works now?
I would like to be able to see new movie trailers, etc from the QuickTime player and not have to open I-Tunes. That is ridiculous
anyone have the answer to this

It would appear that the links you are clicking on are to media stored in iTunes. Apple now serves up virtually all its material through iTunes which plays nice on OSX, I believe not so nice in Windows (probably a return favor for what is done to Mac users by Microsoft).
iTunes is not purely a commercial venture. It also serves up an enormous amount of free and educational material, as well as allowing you to convert your own media to more usable forms on your computer or iDevice.
I can understand Apple not wanting to maintain two libraries of what is essentially the same material. It helps sell stuff as well that the promotional material is only a click away for you to buy. Apple is a business and iTunes is free for a reason.

The window that opens when I click on the Time Machine icon is Finder (devices) and when I close this Time Machine also closes.

You will need to be much more specific about what you problem is. That is how TM works. That is how you find things to restore from TM, by using a Finder window so that you can browse through the Mac's hierarchy of folders and files.
Why are you double posting this?

How can I make Quicktime stop opening when I click a streaming media link?

I was very happily using Windows Media Player 9 for streaming video in Firefox, and it was working fabulously, until I installed Flip4Mac, and now when I click on a link within a web page to open a standalone player for steaming video (please see "Click here to open standalone player" link below web cam window on www.tappedintoelephants.com) it opens Quicktime instead of Windows Media Player. I would like it to go back to using WMP for the standalone player when I click that link. I tried unchecking the "steaming media" box in Quicktime MIME settings, I've uninstalled Flip4Mac, and reinstalled WMP, but still, when I click that link, it opens Quicktime and crashes the browser. Could anyone please tell me how I can tell Firefox to once again use WMP instead of Quicktime for the standalone player? As I said, unchecking the streaming media checkbox in QT MIME settings had no effect. Thank you very much. I appreciate your help!

I think what you should try is Settings>General>Accessibility>Vision>Speak Auto-text>Off.

See the advice given in the user tip:Troubleshooting issues with iTunes for Windows updates for a very workable approach.

I can't get iTunes to open when I click on it!

I looked at what some other people said in response to this problem when other people posted it, but the whole enter "......" into the command prompt and restart thing didn't work for me. Any suggestions?

When I open iTunes, I receive an error that reads "iTunes has encountered a problem and needs to close. Sorry for the convenience." When I click to see the error, it reads "AppName: itunes.exe AppVer: 10.5.2.11 ModName: msvcr80.dll" Why ?

Well I was able to successfully revert back to iTunes8. Here's my steps:
1. In Add/Remove Programs I deleted all Apple products (iTunes, QuickTime, Safari, Bonjour, etc.)
2. I then check C:\Program Files\ and made sure all folders were deleted (QuickTime, etc.)
3. I then ran a Registry Cleaner program to make sure all entries from Apple products were removed.
4. I then rebooted my PC
5. I then downloaded iTunes8.0.2 from here: http://www.apple.com/downloads/macosx/apple/ipod_itunes/itunes802forwindows.html
6. After it installed it said it could use my iTunes library file because it was created with a newer version. So I re-created my library by following these steps: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1451
It took some time but iTunes is now back up and running. And I have all my playlists, etc. I haven't tried to sync anything yet. I'm just thrilled to have my iTunes back!

Is over 400 hours (and counting) normal for iTunes to authenticate an iBook?

Is over 400 hours (and counting) normal for iTunes to authenticate an iBook before uploading to iBooks store? Does the size of the document make a difference?
Any help or advice greatly appreciated.
Thanks

OK, by coincidence this happened to me just yesterday as I was updating a book, I was doing other things and noticed after about an hour it was still showing loading lines.
Its locked up somewhwere and I just closed/ force close if needed.. and started the delivery process again.
This time it took 20 minutes or so which was what I expected.
If it happens a second time, try starting the Publish from within iBA, but first check the xxxxxxx.itmsp number and check if it issues a new xxxxx.itmsp, if it does.. delete the old one to avoid confusion.

First I'd set up a System Restore point. Then try applying the LNK registry fix from the following document:
File Association Fixes for Windows 7
Does that get your icons back to normal?

My Itunes won't open when I click on the program.

My Itunes won't open when I click on the icon/program. It will flash like it's going to open on the bottom bar on windows 7 but then doesn't do anything, I have tried deleting it and redownloading it, however this still hasn't done anything. What can i do??? Thanks.

Can you right mouse click iTunes icon and choose "Run as Administrator"?
If this fails:
Try SCAN your Windows system files for possible corruption:
Go to command prompt (START/ALL PROGRAMS/ACCESSORIES right mouse click "command prompt" and choose "Run as Administrator"
type in
sfc /scannow
let Windows fix any system files that need to be repaired.
Restart the computer if it did actually repair any files.

In itunes 10.6, when I click to burn a cd, it takes 10 minutes for the "Burn Settings" screen that allows me to choose which cd burner to use to be displayed. I have tried setting the UpperFilters to "GEARAspiWDM" and LowerFilters to null. Any suggestion

Many thanks for the diagnostics.
Failed while scanning for CD / DVD drives, error 2380.
Error while opening iTunes CD driver. This could be caused by a corrupted iTunes file or a conflict with other older CD burning applications, either currently installed or previously installed and uninstalled incorrectly.
With that one, I'd start with solution 3 from the following document:
iTunes for Windows: Optical drive is no longer recognized, or "Disc burner or software not found" alert after install

Click on your iPad in the sidebar in iTunes, scroll down to the "Options" section, and uncheck "Open iTunes when this iPad is connected."

HT1451 If I have two iTunes libraries on one computer, how do I know which one is opening when I click on the iTunes icon on the desktop?

If I have two or more iTunes Libraries on one computer, how do I know which one is opening when I click on the iTunes icon on my desktop?

You cannot.
When you sync to a new library, it will erase the current content.
Use your backup copy of the old computer to copy everything to the new one.

I'm sure this is a setting fix, but can't find it-. All of my windows for mac programs open when I turn on my computer, such that I have to close each one individually to get to my desk top. How do I adjust so none of them open unless I choose to?

Remove the check in the box "Reopen windows when logging back in":
