Impossible to keep my music in iTunes every time the opening of itunes

I have a problem with my itune,
when i want to listen to music whenever i do a search
how to prevent this

No. iTunes media content is NOT backed up. If you Restore, it will be deleted. Normally, it would simply be re-loaded from the iTunes Library (or the appropriate location, in the case of photos) during the sync that follows the Restore.
See: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1414
Purchased music that's currently on the iPhone can be transferred back using iTunes > File menu > Transfer Purchases From. You'll need to re-load the other music into iTunes.
For future reference, it's possible to store your iTunes Library on an external drive, even a USB flash drive that you can connect when needed. The Library location can be specified in iTunes Preferences > Advanced tab.

Keep getting multiple song files every time I open ITunes

Argh. Every time I open ITunes I have two or three of the same song in my Library. What's worse, when I plug in my Ipod, I end up with two or three copies of the same song on my Ipod as well.
Help!
Much thanks,
Jhawk

McAfee AntiVirus by any chance? See the thread Why does iTunes delete my itunesprefs.xml?

Why do I keep getting a 2nd tab every time I open Firefox for the Firefox Start Page?

Since upgrading to Firefox 4.0.1, whenever I open Firefox it goes to my start page, but also opens a second tab for the Mozilla Firefox Start Page. Since I do not use that page, I have been trying to figure out how to stop it from being there automatically, but have not been able to figure it out.

I started getting the error on my iPhone 5 (iOS 7.1.x) several weeks ago - if not a month ago. Today I finally decided to run through a wholesale sign-out/sign-in process on all my devices (iMac, MacBook, iPad 1, iPad 3 and iPhone5) and it worked!
I signed out of iMessage/Messages on all devices. I also deleted my iCloud accounts on all my devices (make sure you tell the software to keep local copies when you are prompted - relax, it all stays in the cloud, too) Then I signed back in to iMessage/Messages and then re-added iCloud accounts all around. I just sent a message with a photo attachment and did not get the "Not Delivered" message - yay!
(FYI - even though I received the error every time I sent a message with an image attachment, the message still went through - very, very happy, though to finally get rid of the message...)

I then got the ".itl" error so added ".itl" to the itunes folder as per a web guide. Now when I open itunes it does nothave my music and then crashes saying iTunes has encountered a problem and that Windows will close the program.

Let's get the application installed properly first, then focus on the library...

I have final cut pro 5 and it keeps asking for my serial every time i open it again. What can I do?

Everytime I open up Final Cut Pro I have to enter my name and my serial. It's annoying to have to do every try. Does anyone know what's wrong or what I can do?
I have final cut pro 6(the one that came with final cut studio 2)

Have you recently updated anything or re installed FCP.

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!

Checks gapless playback on one album every time I open iTunes

I bought an album on the iTunes music store.
Every time I open iTunes, it checks this one album for gapless playback. Every Time! I've tried deleting it from the library and adding it again, but that doesn't help.
What's weird though, is that we have 2 MBP's, each with their own iTunes library. But we share the files on a networked hard drive. This only happens on my computer, not the other one.
Any suggestions?

Please check you system if it is free of Malware. But you have to do it in WIndows Safe Mode.
Start your computer in "Safe mode with networking", go to CNET's download.com to download a free version of Malwarebyte. Install and perform update immediately, then do a full SCAN. Remove malware if it indeed finds any. Restart computer to regular windows to let Malwarebyte complete the removal.
To start your computer in safe mode
press and hold the F8 key. You need to press F8 before the Windows logo appears. If the Windows logo appears, you'll need to try again.
On the Advanced Boot Options screen, use the arrow keys to highlight the "safe mode with networking" option, and then press Enter.
Log on to your computer with a user account that has administrator rights.
When your computer is in safe mode, you'll see the words Safe Mode in the corners of your screen. To exit safe mode, restart your computer and let Windows start normally.

Music plays every time I open a new tab. New problem. Nothing stops it. HELP!

This is something that just started and it's driving me crazy. Every time I open a new tab, irritating music starts to play. I have done all the other solutions I saw, including installing and then disabling CoolPreview, which I never had to start with. I have done a complete system scan and no malware was found. don't know what is causing this but I want it to end. I have not added any new add-ons or extensions. It sounds like cheesy video game music or PCH music. Any ideas?

I found out what was happening!
ginabgood1 mentioned music from PCH, I, foolishly, signed up with them too (then unsubscribed because they were sending me TONS of "entries" constantly) and it was after that I had this problem.
Even though there was not a link to them on my new tab page the music would play every time I opened a new tab.
What I did was start deleting the links at the bottom right of the page, I eventually had a PCH link page show up and deleted it. The music has now stopped playing whenever I open a new tab.

Newby Question! Do I have keep my music on Itunes forever?

OK - I just got my 30g Ipod yesterday and I spent 3 hours importing music and then deleted the music out of Itunes to save space on my computer. When I started to import more music, low and behold, it erased all my music on my Ipod from last night. If I have a 30g Ipod, will I have to leave 30g of music on my computer slowing it down forever? What do you suggest, I'm clueless. This is ridiculous. I did change the preferences to manually manage music but it said I will have "eject" my Ipod each time I disconnect, what does that mean.
Help me please, I'm a total newby!
Thank you

If you have your iPod set to transfer your music manually, then that “do not disconnect” message will continue to be displayed on your iPod until you manually eject it.
You can do this by clicking on the little eject icon next to the iPod listing in the source window of iTunes, or right click on it and select “eject”. Another way would be to use the “safely remove hardware” icon in the system tray next to the clock (looks like a grey rectangle with a green arrow above it). Click on this then select your iPod. Or through Windows, select start/my computer, right click on the iPod, select eject.
Just a word (alright several!) about deleting the songs in iTunes.
It is a very risky option. What if you needed to do a software restore (which is a very common fix for iPod problems)? This would erase the contents of your iPod. Any purchased music would be lost and need to be purchased again.
What if the iPod were stolen/lost/needed repair?
It’s much better to keep the music on your computer, and if storage space is at a premium, one option would be to buy an external hard drive, which are cheaper than ever nowadays, and keep your music library on that.
The iPod is a music player and was never intended as a long term storage device for the only copy of your music.
See also Backing up your music files in iTunes.
Sorry for the sermon, but we see a lot of folks weeping and wailing here that they lost all their music.

Damaged Music Library (every time I open iTunes)

I am having trouble with my iTunes music library continually getting damaged. At first iTunes 6 started having trouble after upgrading my system to Tiger. I then did a new clean install on my system (including iTunes) because I was also having other problems with the upgrade to Tiger. I was still occasionally finding a damaged library that iTunes could not open and thought the upgrade to iTunes 7.0.1 might help. It didn't, in fact, now every time I open iTunes my music library is damaged and I have to rebuild it. I have a large library 12.6 MB and I have added lots of artwork manually. A friend suggested that some of the art work could be to blame but I don't know how to figure out if that is the cause and if so which ones. Does anyone have any suggestions?
mac g4 Mac OS X (10.4.7) Safari crashes and won't even open any more

burento
Given that this problem goes back to v6 and even earlier with the install of Yiger, I would recommend that you check your HD as this could be the first sign of trouble.
Insert the Tiger DVD that you used to install, and restart the machine using it and run Disk Utility from there to check the HD.

ITunes Makes Me Log in Every Time I Open It

iTunes v. 12.0.1.26 and Yosemite updates recently installed. 2012 27" iMac
iTunes makes me log in every time I open it. I thought the problem was fixed in THIS THREAD and it was a very helpful set of instructions by Linc but the problem keeps recurring.
I reposted the question in that thread, but since the thread is marked as solved I'm afraid no one will see it. So I'm reposting here.
Situation:
Upon opening iTunes I get messages popping up telling me to
Sign in to iTunes to use this computer for automatic downloads
Sign in to iTunes for iTunes Radio to use autodowload
Sign in to iTunes to check for downloads
(repeat of) Sign in to iTunes to use this computer for automatic downloads
Sign in to use iTunes Store
These happen one after another, rapidly. Every time. I called Apple help as well and they didn't have any further help.
I've repaired permissions, trashed my plist for iTunes from my Library, done all of Linc's instruction in the other thread.

Back up all data before proceeding.
Launch the Keychain Access application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Keychain Access in the icon grid.
Select the login keychain from the list on the left side of the Keychain Access window. If your default keychain has a different name, select that.
If the lock icon in the top left corner of the window shows that the keychain is locked, click to unlock it. You'll be prompted for the keychain password, which is the same as your login password, unless you've changed it.
Right-click or control-click the login entry in the list. From the menu that pops up, select
          Change Settings for Keychain "login"
In the sheet that opens, uncheck both boxes, if not already unchecked.
From the menu bar, select
          Keychain Access ▹ Preferences ▹ First Aid
If the box marked
          Keep login keychain unlocked
is not checked, check it.
Select
          Keychain Access ▹ Keychain First Aid
from the menu bar and repair the keychain. Quit Keychain Access.

Why does my itunes crash after start up with an "APPCRASH" error every time i open it?! I have been trying to fix this for weeks but all i can do it re-install it every other day which does nothing!

Why does my itunes crash after start up with an "APPCRASH" error every time i open it?! I have been trying to fix this for weeks but all i can do it re-install it every other day which does nothing! I am desperate to get access to my itunes to get music on my phone and all of this just makes me want me to sell my iphone since there is no other way to add music to my phone. If things go get sorted soon you can say goodbye to my support.

Your library should be unaffected by these steps but there are also links to backup and recovery advice should it be needed.
