I customize my genres, etc. but iTunes keeps changing it back. How do I stop this?

Hi dfrost10,
I wouldn't be surprised if you were hit with some [https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/Is%20my%20Firefox%20problem%20a%20result%20of%20malware?s=malware&r=0&e=sph&as=s#w_how-do-i-get-rid-of-malware Malware]. I'd probably investigate that first.
If that isn't the case, you should take a look at the Knowledge Base article [[How to set the home page]]. Your homepage might have been changed by a particular site. Sites like MSN, Yahoo, etc have been know to ask to become your homepage.
There are steps in that article to reset your homepage preferences to default. I would try that first to clear out any strangeness. If that works, you can try setting your homepage again to your personal preference.
If that doesn't work you should look at the article [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Preferences_not_saved Preferences not saved].
Hopefully this helps!

  • TS1382 I want to add multiples of the same song from different playlists to my ipod but iTunes wont let me. How can I override this so that I get the songs I want on my ipod?

    I want to add multiples of the same song from different playlists to my ipod but iTunes wont let me. How can I override this so that I get the songs I want on my ipod?

    You can sync those different playlists to the iPod, and the song appears on each playlist.  However, the song is stored on the iPod once.  What is the practical reason for wanting to store the same song file multiple times (and waste storage space) on the iPod?

    The sort fields should generally be empty unless you've putting in custom values to sort solo artists by their surnames. You can apply common changes to thousands of tracks at once, just don't apply the wrong change because there is no undo.
    It is a good idea to backup before undertaking large scale changes. See this backup tip for a suggested approach.

    iTunes: Restoring iOS software
    You will probably need to restore using Recovery Mode.
    iPad: Unable to update or restore
    Recovery Mode Instructions
    Disconnect the USB cable from the iPad, but leave the other end of the cable connected to your computer's USB port.
    Turn off iPad: Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button for a few seconds until the red slider appears, then slide the slider. Wait for iPad to turn off.
    If you cannot turn off iPad using the slider, press and hold the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons at the same time. When the iPad turns off, release the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons.
    While pressing and holding the Home button, reconnect the USB cable to iPad. When you reconnect the USB cable, iPad should power on.
    Continue holding the Home button until you see the "Connect to iTunes" screen. When this screen appears you can release the Home button.
    If necessary, open iTunes. You should see the recovery mode alert that iTunes has detected an iPad in recovery mode.
    Use iTunes to restore iPad.

    That's fine. I just didn't understand, but suspected that's what you meant.
    You should contact Apple about this. Go to this website, find your country, and call Apple and ask to speak to Account Security about this.

    Can you play the song in iTunes?
    If you can't the song file is probably corrupt and needs to be replaced.

  • My imessages are being sent on multiple phones and i deleted the icloud account on the other phone but the messages still go through how do I stop this?

    my imessages are being sent on multiple phones and i deleted the icloud account on the other phone but the messages still go through how do I stop this?
    Do you think deleting the message off the phone would make a difference?

    If you don't enter an e-mail address, it just uses SMS and MMS. iMessages (sent over the data connection instead of using your SMS messaging plan) require an e-mail address registered on the device.
    There is no requirement that you activate it.

    I have asked this question befor but here it is again. The suggested fix stopped it for a while but it is now doing it again. I recently used iTunes and thenquit.

    Restart the computer in Safe Mode, to do this when you hear the startup tone hold down the Shift Key until a progress bar appears. Once you have see if the issue repeats in Safe Mode. Then restart normally and re-test and  please post  your results.

  • ITunes keeps opening itself up, how do I stop it?!

    Okay all I've become more than irritated by iTunes lately. Every time I go to click the x in the upper right hand corner, or even go "File" then "Exit" every thirty seconds or so after I close out iTunes it unbeknown to me opens itself back up. I've gone through services.msc to disable anything that could cause it to open itself back up. I've even checked everything in iTunes so I have to manually open it up.
    However as I said before, every bloody time I close iTunes 30 seconds later it opens itself back up for no reason at all. In order to fully close it I have to use cntrl, alt, delete and shut it down fully that way. What else can be done to stop this? This is really driving me crazy.
    Other than this little thing I have no problems. Oh and I have an iPod Classic 120GB and Windows XP.

    So you put up with IDVD opening at start up even though you may not even need it to?
    I just fixed this on my own. Somehow IDVD had gotten included in my start up preferences under log in options. Removed it. Problem solved.
    Thx.

  • I just downloaded the latest software to my iPhone 4 and I am now getting my sons messages.  he too uses the same itunes and pc to sync, how do I stop this?

    Hi, I downloaded the latest software for my iphone 4 and this morning I received text messages that were meant for my son.  we both use the same PC and iTunes for our iphones, so will he get a copy of my messages too when he upgrades his software?
    does anyone know how to stop this?  or how it happened in the first place?
    thanks
    Cathy

    You have an Apple ID signed in to all the devices which is causing this.
    "When you sign in to your Apple ID with iMessage using an iPhone with iOS 6, your Apple ID is linked to your phone number. This allows you to receive iMessages sent to your phone number on other iOS 6 devices signed in to the same Apple ID."
    To correct this, go into Settings > Messages > Send and Recieve at > See below...
    On your phone: Uncheck your son's phone number
    On his phone: Uncheck your phone number.
    On iPad: Uncheck both phone numbers to prevent iMessages sent to either number to also appear on the iPad.
    If you have email addresses associated here, then you may have to remove those as well, although you won't be able to remove the Apple ID that you're using. Any iMessage sent to that Apple ID will arrive at all the device unless you sign out of that Apple ID and create/use another Apple ID for that device.

  • My email keeps deleting me mail how can i stop this?

    how do i stop my emails from deleting themselves from my mailbox

    If you delete an email from your computer it will be deleted from your iPhone when you next open the iPhone's mail app.
    If you delete an email from your iPhone it will be deleted from your computer when you next open your computer's mail app.
    That is the way the IMAP mail protocol is designed to work. The deleted emails should still be in your Trash folder on your computer, and if you open the Trash folder on your iPhone it should sync.
    If you don't want your emails deleted from iPhone or computer but don't want them in your inbox create a folder on your computer for Saved Mail, and, instead of deleting email, move it to Saved Mail.
    If you don't want it to work this way then delete the mail account and add it back as a POP3 account. POP3 does not sync, but also does not support folders and will require that you delete all emails twice to get rid of them.

    First check if this problem is related with your addons, try start Firefox in Safe Mode:
    *[https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/troubleshoot-firefox-issues-using-safe-mode Firefox in safe mode]
    Try scan your computer, sometimes this problem is caused by malwares:

  • HT2250 I have Bonjour files on my computer, but iTunes will not recognize it, how do I fix this?

    I have Bonjour files on my computer, but when I open iTunes it says that I don't. Somehow the services are turned off, but I can't just turn on a file. How do I turn it back on?

    Hello th3maj0r,
    I was thinking that it might be a good idea to remove iTunes and all of its components including Bonjour and re installing them.
    Depending on the version of your OS:
    Removing and Reinstalling iTunes, QuickTime, and other software components for Windows XP

    Removing and reinstalling iTunes, QuickTime, and other software components for Windows Vista or Windows 7
