I-tunes is downloading my purchase from scratch every time I open it up...

Why is i-tunes downloading my purchase from scratch every time I open it up? This means I can't watch the episode as it freezes after 10 minutes and says it has 12 hours to go until download is complete...
I have also found that the words get out of sync and I have to pause it for it to catch up. This happened on my old computer but I now have a new one and it is still doing it...

Launch System Preferences and click on the “General” icon
At the bottom of the “Number of recent items” list, uncheck the checkbox next to “Restore windows when quitting and re-opening apps”

W3c duplicate id. Do I really need to start from scratch every time?

I just ran validation and I got a bunch of warnings about "duplicate id" (duplicate id). You can see my page under construction HERE. I want to repeat the same box over again but with different info/content. Do I really need to start from scratch every time?
Thank you!

Apple: Give me a way to stop TV downloads on iTunes, or I stop buying shows on my AppleTV. That simple. I'm tired of automatic downloads filling my hard drive every time I open iTunes on my laptop.

I'm tired of automatic downloads filling my hard drive every time I open iTunes on my laptop. Tonight I had to go to iTunes to verify my payment info - even though I'd already done that two days ago - and before I can even access the iTunes Store, iTunes starts downloading 44 TV shows that I've purchased over the last few months on my AppleTV; before I could completely stop it, it had entirely filled up my hard drive - 180 GB. There's NO reason there isn't a way to stop auto-downloads of TV shows - every other type of media has the ability to stop auto-downloads, and given that I have an AppleTV (for now!), why in pasta's name would I want to load them onto my laptop?!

HT204406 Does iTunes match have to look for all music on my computer and send that data to and from Apple every time I open iTunes? This frequently makes iTunes crash before I even get to listen to one song. Installing the latest version of iTunes does no

Does iTunes have to check all my music for match every time I open iTunes even when nothing has changed in the music folder? This is just one problem I have with iTunes and match. Every time I open iTunes, the first thing happening is iTunes checking my music and sending the information to Apple and then waiting for Apple to send back information about match. There is a third step that I have never seen iTunes actually reach as it always crashes before finishing this ritual with my music and match. Since I paid for match I can no longer use iTunes to listen to any of my music. I like having match function on my iPhone because even 128 GB is not enough space to keep a music library and everything else needed on the iPhone. But it's been a disaster with iTunes on my Windows 7 PC. I updated iTunes recently and the same problem continues. I can't find any clear description of how match works but it seems if there has been no change to the music folder then the tedious and buggy process of checking all music for match and sending data back and forth to Apple every time iTunes is used should not be necessary. Is there possibly something I have to change settings for to help iTunes start without so much to do?

If your library was working on your computer and then popped up empty all of a sudden then this might be what you need...
Empty/corrupt library after upgrade/crash
Hopefully it's not been too long since you last upgraded iTunes, in fact if you get an empty/incomplete library immediately after upgrading then with the following steps you shouldn't lose a thing or need to do any further housekeeping. In the Previous iTunes Libraries folder should be a number of dated iTunes Library files. Take the most recent of these and copy it into the iTunes folder. Rename iTunes Library.itl as iTunes Library (Corrupt).itl and then rename the restored file as iTunes Library.itl. Start iTunes. Should all be good, bar any recent additions to or deletions from your library.
See iTunes Folder Watch for a tool to catch up with any changes since the backup file was created.
When you get it all working make a backup!

Since the last version of numbers in IOS 7 my documents have to be download from iCloud every time I open the app

Hello everybody. Since I update my iPad mini to IOS 7 and update numbers and pages, I can´t view my documents offline because they have to be downloaded every time I closed and open the app. I have restore the IOS from scratch, not using any backup, and the problems is still there.
Any advice?
Thanks

Try working through TS1717: iTunes for Windows Vista, Windows 7, or Windows 8: Fix unexpected quits or launch issues to start with.
Otherwise, for general advice see Troubleshooting issues with iTunes for Windows updates.
The steps in the second box are a guide to removing everything related to iTunes and then rebuilding it which is often a good starting point unless the symptoms indicate a more specific approach. Review the other boxes and the list of support documents further down page in case one of them applies.
Your library should be unaffected by these steps but there is backup and recovery advice elsewhere in the user tip.

My time Capsule Starts from scratch every time it is interrupted!

First I tried doing the initial backup wirelessly. After 48 hours I had 30 GB of my 54 GB. Then we had a power outage. When the power came back, I clicked on ´backup now`, but it started from scratch. So I interrupted it and set up TC through Ethernet. I had gotten up to 16 GB when I went to bed. The next morning, a message said the connection had been lost. I fiddled with the wires, and then the backup started AGAIN from scratch. I am now in my fourth backup and it is always starting from zero. The thing is, the size of the Time Capsule keeps getting smaller, (only 383 of 461 GB available) evidence of the fact that the backups ARE IN THERE- just time machine does not seem to recognize them.
Help?

Experienced the same issue with an Apple Time Capsule 802.11n (1st Generation, warranty replacement) connected to iMac (Late 2009) running Mac OS X Snow Leopard 10.6.8. This Time Capsule was configured solely as the Time Machine backup drive, no Wi-Fi (Wireless Mode: Off). The hard drive would spin up every minute or so for no apparent reason. Tried disconnecting/reconnecting Time Capsule, power off reboot of both Time Capsule and iMac to no avail. Only solution that worked was to downgrade firmware to 7.5.2 using latest Snow Leopard AirPort Utility 5.5.3.
For those that need to know how to do this, run AirPort Utility application in /Application/Utilities folder, click Manual Setup, and click on the word Version in the list, in the dialog box select 7.5.2 from drop-down menu, click OK, and click Update and allow Time Capsule to restart.

How can I stop the download dialog from appearing every time I open Firefox 5.o latest version?

Ever since I downloaded Firefox 5.0 the other day I get the download dialog every time I start Firefox 5.0.1. I told the download dialog to save Firefox 5.0.1 when I downloaded it. If I now say yes to the dialog it will download and save a new copy of the program like 5.0.1 (1). If I say cancel on the dialog I keep getting the dialog every time I start Firefox 5.0.1.

I have heard that Norton released an update patch for Firefox 5.0 on Tuesday 06-21 when Firefox 5.0 was released. ''(versus taking their normal six to eight weeks)'' Some Norton users have reported that the toolbar may not work if the Norton patch was installed before Firefox 5.0, instead if after Firefox 5.0 was already installed.

Why do you have the nVidia CUDA drivers installed on your nMP? It doesn't have any CUDA hardware on it. That's what Pr is tripping over.
Remove CUDA. Kill it with fire. Nuke it from orbit.
Then try again.

What do I do to stop Finder in Mac OS 10.9.3 from crashin every time I open a Dropbox Folder ?

Right after I installed the latest version of Dropbox 2.8.3 on my MacBook Air with Mavericks 10.9.3, my Finder restarts every time I try to access the Dropbox folder.
I know the documents are there because I can access some of them directly from the "Recent items" menu in some programs.
The problem persists even after I quit the Dropbox Program on the menu bar. I have also restarted the computer (also tried it in Safe Mode).
Don't know what else to try.
Pretty much all my documents are in Dropbox so the Mac is almost useless until I solve this problem.
Any suggestions Please ?
Thanks.

Posted his solution here:
https://discussions.apple.com/thread/3768164?start=0&tstart=0 :
Back up all data if you haven’t already done so. Before proceeding, you must be sure you can restore your system to the state it’s in now.
Launch the Terminal application by entering the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. If that doesn’t work, then in the Finder, press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
Copy or drag – do not type – the line below into the Terminal window, then press return:
find ~ -type f -name .DS_Store -delete
The command will take a noticeable amount of time to run. When a new dollar-sign (“$”) prompt appears below what you entered, quit Terminal.
It solved the problem.

How do I stop InDesign from crashing every time I open a certain file?

I tried to move a 2 page spread to the beginning of a 52 page layout and InDesign crashed. I tried recovery and it would crash each time seconds after opening. I tried closing every thing, hard boot, then opening from the file. It opened fine then in 2 seconds it crashed. I tried a different file and there was not a problem. How do I keep it from crashing my 52 page file?

The file could be corrupted. Do you have a backup?

How do I stop the side toolbar from appearing every time I open a pdf in Acrobat DC?

Right side tool bar is annoying in Acrobat DC . How can this be fixed?

Hi, VP JonRerera.
1. This is a very ugly design -- I understand Adobe wants users to pay money for those functions, but make it occupy users' precious screen space by default is a very awkward way.
2. Acrobat DC does not really "remember" the last state!! Every time, when we open a pdf file, the tool pane will be on the right. You are wrong with your product !
3. As an computer software engineer, I do not think fixing this one takes ~3 months. It only need to switch the default mode, unless Adobe is unwilling to do it.
4. People have figured out how to solve the problem (smarter than Adobe engineer??)
Solution by tmmcentyre
Go to the install directory, i.e." C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Acrobat Reader DC\Reader\AcroApp\ENU". Create a new subfolder (I used "Disabled"). Move 3 files from the "ENU" folder into the new "Disabled" folder: AppCenter_R.aapp & Home.aapp & Viewer.aapp. Open a PDF and no more Tool Pane! I originally moved just the "Viewer" file but if you clicked on "Home" or "Tools" on the toolbar you couldn't go back to the "Document." Moving all 3 files takes care of that issue. Like a lot of people I don't and won't ever use any of the tools. I just want a reader. Let me know if this works for you.
The new "right hand toolbar" in Acrobat DC is always on by default, proving instant access to frequently used tools. That said, we're definitely hearing a # of customers that want Acrobat DC to "remember" the last state. So if you close it, it'll remain closed when you open it next. Looking to have a fix in place in next ~3 months here.

Why do I have to start from scratch every time?!?

Seriously, what the ****?! I am sitting here in the middle of the friggin desert with a crappy connection and I am lucky if I can download a 500 meg file much less a 1G file. So I get lucky and get to 950 megs and my connection craps out and now I have to try to start a 12 hour download from the beginning...AGAIN! This is 3 days now trying to get the same !@$*&(^ file! I've been able to resume a file download with Windows for 10 fuggin years now. How hard is that to implement?

And you got to level 4 how? I am asking why I have to start from the beginning of a file even if I am 99% done with my download. There should be an option to resume where you left off. Why doesn't itunes have that option?

How do I stop tracking cookies from respawning every time I open a Firefox window?

I'm in Firefox 21. I tried to delete my cookies, but when I close and reopen the "Show Cookies" window, all cookies have respawned, including many third party advertising cookies from sites I have never visited, sites such as 2o7.net, interclick.com, adlegend.com, and about a hundred others. This is in spite of the fact that I have "Accept third-party cookies" unclicked. How can I delete these advertising tracking cookies and ensure that they never come back?

Additional Detail: If I close all tabs and windows of Firefox, then the cookies do not respawn; the cookies window then remains empty. However, once I open a window and navigate to any page, they all come back.

How do I stop iPhoto from freezing every time I open it?

My O/S is Mac OS X Version 10.6.8.
iPhoto version is 8.1.2
Does anyone know of a way to fix this so iPhoto will open without freezing?

Remember this was a test. It tells us that iPhoto is essentially sound and the issue is within your main library.
Let's try repair that:
Option 1
Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild. Choose to Repair Database. If that doesn't help, then try again, this time using Rebuild Database.
If that fails:
Option 2
Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. (In early versions of Library Manager it's the File -> Rebuild command. In later versions it's under the Library menu.)
This will create an entirely new library. It will then copy (or try to) your photos and all the associated metadata and versions to this new Library, and arrange it as close as it can to what you had in the damaged Library. It does this based on information it finds in the iPhoto sharing mechanism - but that means that things not shared won't be there, so no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your events, albums and keywords, faces and places back.
Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one.
