I am noticing Itunes application detector in Mozilla? Can anyone tell me what it is for?

Lately I have experienced problems with re-directing and other issues with Mozilla. I looked in my add-ons list and there are several things there that i did not add manually.
(I have been having much trouble with ITunes and noticed a plug in in mozilla and want to know if it is necessary.)
Is there a way to keep this from happening? I have been using mozilla for years and liked it when I could do a basic install without any add-ons that I did not request.
Here is a list of the things that are troubling me - I am sure a few may be necessary.
I would appreciate any help anyone can give me with this?
PLUG-INS-
Java Deployment Toolkit 6.0.200.2

Shutting down only returns a Mac to a certain default running state.
If the beach balling problem is there, it can and, most probably, will return.
Sometimes a shut down or restart can reset things, but if this was something that was nagging issue, it may return.
It's better for a Mac to sleep or hibernate than to constantly shut it down.
Shutting down and starting up a computer all the time puts more strain on electronic components than just letting the computer sleep and go into a reduced power mode.
Sometimes Safari ( or any web browser) can be the culprit as Adobe Flash Player, running inside Safari, can eat up a lot of CPU and RAM resources when on a website that needs extensive use of Adobe Flash Player.  Also, animations and pop- up ads in a web browser can have the web browser using up more CPU and RAM cycles, too! Other web browser factors like having a lot of windows or tabs active can increase the amount of RAM that the web browser is using.
Also, it a good idea not to have too many CPU and RAM intensive apps running concurrently in the background.
Also, some unknown process can eat up system resources.
From time to time if the beach balling returns, launch Activity Monitor app inside your Applications>Utilities folder a see if there are any processes that are eating up an excessive amount of RAM or CPU cycles.
Any antivirus apps are known causes of OS X slowdowns and beach balling as well as a lot of " crapware" like MacKeeper. Keep software like that off of your system.

  • Itunes document manager pro will not open a document with .cwk extension. It will catch the document then error message states that it cannot open document. Can anyone tell me what Im doing wrong?

    Itunes document manager pro will not open a document with .cwk extension. It will catch the document then error message states that it cannot open document. Can anyone tell me what Im doing wrong?

    Forgive my ignorance but I have never hear of iTunes Document Manager Pro. If you mean Document Manager Pro, i was able to find that. Back to your problem, have you tried opening one of those files in the iOS iWorks apps? Form the quick read that I did about this, .cwk files can be opened by Pages, Numbers or Keynote, depending on what type of document that it is and those files can be read by Document Manager Pro, after properly saving them. I don't see that you can go directly from the .cwk file in Document Manager Pro without converting them first.
    I took a very quick look at the app, so I may be a missing something about its capability.

  • Suddenly, I am seeing an error message that reads: "The iTunes Library cannot be saved. An unknown error occurred (-54)".  Can anyone tell me what that means?

    Suddenly, I am seeing an error message that reads: "The iTunes Library cannot be saved. An unknown error occurred (-54)".  Can anyone tell me what that means? Am I in danger of my iTunes library being lost?

    == Error -54 ==
    From an OS9 reference, error -54 is a software lock on a file or a permissions error. (Some of the old codes still apply to OSX although there is no formal list of OSX error codes.)
    First, try simply restarting your computer.

  • I just purchased the ipad I have an itunes account but it tells me I am not connected to the itunes store. can anyone tell me whats wrong

    I have just purchased the ipad and trying to log onto itunes and it tells me I am not connected .  i typed in my apple sign on and it states cannot connect to itunes store. Can anyone tell me whats wrong?

    I'm sort of confused by your response. Did your iPad start up? If I DO understand - you are frozen on the sign in setting for the Store?
    Try this - force quit the settings app.
    Force quit the app by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears. Let go of the sleep button and then hold down on the home button until the app quits. Restart the iPad. Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.

  • Can anyone tell me about expiry dates for iTunes cards?

    I thought that they expired either one or two years after the most recent use. Since the update to the site, I am no longer able to find either the T&Cs for iTunes cards, or details of expiry dates in My Account. Can anyone tell me where to get this info?  Thanks.

    iTunes cards do not have an expiration date.  And, once you redeem them, they create a credit balance in your account, which also does not exprire. 
    However, nobody can guarantee that this will be permanent, so it would be best not to let them sit around for years.

    It should be on the Store drop-down menu at the top of iTunes (if you are using iTunes 11 on a PC then try pressing Alt-S and see if it appears) e.g. (screenshot is from iTunes on a Mac)

  • Can anyone tell me what's fixed in iTunes 6.0.1?

    I'm looking for a fix list for iTunes 6.0.1 and the search on the Apple website does not seem to be working for me. Anyone know?

    hi QuigsTX!
    hmmm. the two fixes in there that i know about are for the "Music Store (-208)" that we were getting with 6.0.0.18, and an unusual ipod issue where some purchased music was
    b transferring
    to the ipod but just not
    b playing
    there.
    what problem did you have with 6.0.0.18? the state of the art has improved on getting past a few things, lately.

  • HT5622 I had to change my iTunes password. Now, when I try to download a song, it repeatedly asks me for my password. This is frustrating! Can anyone tell me what I can do about this??

    I had to change my iTunes password. Now, when I try to buy a song, it repeatedly asks me for the password and doesn't seem to register it and go to the next step. It's becoming very frustrating. And, equally, if not more frustrating, is the fact that there is no simple way to contact Apple to find out how to fix the problem. I hope someone here has the solution.
    Thank you!

    After you changed the PW did you go to Settings>iTunes and App stores and sign out and sign back in?
