Installed 9.0 and now keeps re-installing everytime I open Itunes

Hi,
I upgraded to 9.0 a few weeks ago and no everytime I try to open itunes it is giving me the license agreement and uploading my whole library like it is the first install. Driving me insane!! And it isn't exactly a quick process. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated and would keep my laptop from ending up on my front lawn. Thanks!

Doublechecking a couple of things.
If you navigate to the iTunes.exe file (Usually in C:\Program Files\iTunes\ on an XP PC) and doubleclick on that (instead of using the desktop shortcut or Start Menu), does iTunes launch normally?
Does iTunes seem to be working properly in other respects?

    I updated iTunes 10.3.1 today, and now it won't let me openitunes it keeps saying error 7 (windows error 14001)  and also says (apple mobile failed to startverify significant privileges to start system services) I have unstalled it severaltimes, tried repairing it also switched off all security software and checkedall files are deleted in local disk (program file) but still no look. Please cansomeone help 

    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 the page in case one of them applies.
    The further information area has direct links to the current and recent builds in case you have problems downloading, need to revert to an older version or want to try the iTunes for Windows (64-bit - for older video cards) release as a workaround for performance issues or compatibility with QuickTime or third party software.
    Your library should be unaffected by these steps but there are also links to backup and recovery advice should it be needed.
    Regarding AMDS failures there is a hint in another thread that disabling the Windows Firewall before attempting to reinstall may help, otherwise take a look at the steps outlined in this post. Re: Can't install iTunes 12.1 on Windows 7 64-bit. I know they look a little daunting, but the process of generating the logs themselves isn't that hard to do. Extracting useful information from them is still a challenge but maybe something will leap out. If you want to post the log for the failed components for me to have a look at here or in the other thread please edit out any personal information, particularly your email address, first.

  • Can't retrieve music and have to use password everytime I open iTunes library

    I bought a new laptop about a year ago and was able to move all my music without a problem.
    Now a year later, all my music gets a "can't retrieve file" message, so when I find it and check "try to find the other files in the same location" iTunes freezes every time.
    I really don't want to have to move all my music again!
    Also, I have to sign in every time I open my library, which is just incredibly annoying!

    Hello Cancaillerie,
    It sounds like your iTunes Library / files weren't moved to the right location or consolidated.  The article below explains how to do this.
    How to move your iTunes library to a new computer - Apple Support
    http://support.apple.com/en-us/HT204318
    If you are repeatedly being asked for a password in iTunes, you may not have the new computer authorized to play your iTunes purchases.

    I recently downloaded and installed the latest version of iTunes and now keep getting the error message "A required iTunes component is not installed.  Please re-install iTunes (-42404)".
    Since this, my iPad will not sync, despite resetting it many times.
    I have downloaded and installed the new iTunes more than ten times with no luck.
    Please can anyone help!!!!!!!

    Let's try a repair install of iTunes first.
    Restart the PC. If you're using Vista or 7, now head into your Uninstall a program control panel, select "iTunes" and then click "Repair". If you're using XP, head into your Add or Remove Programs control panel, select "iTunes", click "Change" and then click "Repair".
    Can you launch your iTunes now?

  • I tried to up date my i phone 4 to iOS 5 then it wiped my phone and now it tells me to connect to iTunes and that the iPhone is in recovery mode and when i connect it goes to preparing to install to iPhone but never goes any further how do i restore

    i tried to up date my i phone 4 to iOS 5 then it wiped my phone and now it tells me to connect to iTunes and that the iPhone is in recovery mode and when i connect it goes to preparing to install to iPhone but never goes any further how do i restore the phone

    by reset option do you mean the DFU restore? worked for me, have you tried that?
    if not - hold the lock and home button until the power down bar comes up. then hold the lock button for ten seconds - next continue to hold the lock button and press the home button for ten seconds - next release the lock button and hold the home button for 10 seconds. this should be done with the phone tethered. If done right and your itunes is configured as such, the phone will reload the drivers and start up itunes, and then prompt for a restore/update.

    I have a 4S and upgraded to iOS 6 last week without any issues.
    Have you tried resetting your phone (hold the power and home buttons down together until the silver apple appears)?

  • I recently bought an Epson Artisan 837 printer. I installed the driver and now Photoshop from CS3 will not open. It quits when the Twain portion of the program starts loading. Does anyone know how to fix this so my printer will work with Photoshop??

    I recently bought an Epson Artisan 837 printer. I installed the driver and now Photoshop from CS3 will not open. It closes every time it gets to the point where it is loading the Twain portion. Does anyone know how to fix this so my printer and Photoshop will work together? Thanks for any help I can get!

    You're welcome. 
    But, no, don't look to  Epson for fixes to their  driver in newer versions, and Adobe has deprecated the TWAIN plug-in.  Hoping for a solution there is futile.  That has not happened and it's never going to happen.  The consensus is that it's pretty foolish to tie up Photoshop to scan.  Honestly.
    Any improvement in the behavior of newer versions of the Epson drivers in that regard would be pure coincidence.
    You need to understand that you never, ever scan "within" Photoshop, as Photoshop has no scanning capabilities whatsoever.  When you use the Import > Twain plug-in all you are doing is blocking Photoshop while you call up the stand-alone Epson scanning software.  If you think about it, its most inefficient.
    VueScan has a pretty powerful scanning plug-in that can be called from the Impost menu—if you insist.  VueScan is not free, but it's a pretty good value, IMO.
    As for the Epson CD printing software, I have no clue.  Sorry. 

  • I installed Windows 8 and now my ipad does not show in itunes...any thoughts?

    I installed Windows 8 and now my ipad does not show in itunes...any thoughts?

    Not trying to start any argument here, but if you would have checked the requirements for using an iPad with iTunes on a computer, you would have seen that Windows 8 is not supported.
    Apple ID (required for some features)
    Internet access6
    Syncing with iTunes on a Mac or PC requires:
    Mac: OS X v10.6.8 or later
    PC: Windows 7; Windows Vista; or Windows XP Home or Professional with Service Pack 2 or later

    Installed itunes 11 and now I get the following message 'The itunes library cannot be saved. An unknown error has occured (-50). How do I fix this problem?

    Same problem here since latest update.  As usual poor support from Apple with no answer or fix for this bug.

    - Did you try here:
    iTunes Store: Transferring purchases from your iPhone, iPad, or iPod to a computer
    - If they were rentals and you have a 4G iPod, they will not transfer to your computer.

  • 11.1.5 installed yesterday now it wont see iphone or open itunes

    11.1.5 installed yesterday now it wont see iphone or open itune - has anyone encountered a similar problem?

    I had same issue.  I flollowed http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1538 and the actual part that fixed it for me was step 5.  Once I finally found it under DEVICES under "portable devices" the connected type of device was only listed as "Apple Iphone" and nothing was listed under the Universal Serial bus Controllers.  After I followed the directions to install the proper mobile device driver then Itunes was able to see my phone.  My PC then also has the correct device listed under the Universal Serial bus Controllers. 
    It is not enough that your connected device says "Apple Iphone" ... so read into the directions step by step for your OS.  I think this is the fix for most new connection issues seen with Itunes 11.1.5!  Nice bench testing Apple.

  • I have recently updated my CC programs to the latest version and now all of my files wont open by default into their respective programs, only if I open the program and go to file open and open the file from there. How can I fix this?

    I have recently updated my CC programs to the latest version (CC2014) and now all of my files wont open by default into their respective programs, only if I open the program and go to file>open and open the file from there. How can I fix this?
    I have tried 'Open with' and the version of the program now installed on my computer isn't even suggested as an option and when I browse for it, the file wont open with it anyway

    On Windows (don't know about Mac), the latest version will always take over the file association, and become the default for indd files. It's impossible to change it.
    But there is a plugin for ID that makes this possible. Never tried it myself.

  • Tried to upgrade my iPhone 4 to 5.1 and now it is  stuck in "plug into itunes mode" after trying to update to iOs 5.1 and receiving error (1).

    Tried to upgrade my iPhone 4 to 5.1 and now it is  stuck in "plug into itunes mode" but will not recover when I plug it in. It is coming up as "unkown error (1)". Is there anything I can do?
    Also, is there any way to recover pictures I have not yet backed up? They should be on iTunes, but do not show up when I plug the phone in or otherwise.
    Is there any hope in saving this phone or is my best bet contacting Verizon or Apple to overnight me a new one?

    From iPhoneWiki:
    Try changing the USB port (the back one of chassis is better) and restart computer.
    The installed version of iTunes may also be too old. Update iTunes.
    Also put your iPhone in DFU mode when doing the above and restore. It's a software error.

  • Updated to 10.4.1 on Itunes and now can no longer access the actual Itunes store ...

    Now i have a bit more space, i can explain what is really properly wrong. The other day i updated my itunes to the 10.4.1 version and now can no longer access the Itunes store - whenever i try to do so i get the bar at the top gets to about half way then stops and nothing happens - on rare occasions however i am taken into a place that resembles the Itunes store but there is no detail and whenever i click on anything, NOTHING happens.
    Now on a SUPER RARE occasion i'll get a notice that the request was timed out?
    If ANYBODY can help me i'll be very grateful

    Purple-Gecko...all that I can say is, "Boom!!!"  You are THE man/woman, whichever the case may be.
    The "netsh winsock reset" command worked like a charm for my machine (running Windows XP SP3).  I have had two weeks of frustration with this issue and finally found your post which got me back online with the iTunes store.  My problem accessing the iTunes store began once I downloaded and installed iTunes 10.5 in preparation to upgrade to OS5.  Once 10.5 was installed, I could open iTunes and access everything except the store (which prevented any of my devices from being able to sync). I followed all of the suggestions that I could find in Apple Support and the suggestions that I was emailed from Apple's support techs.  I unistalled all Apple software and reinstalled iTunes multiple times, and still could not access the store. 
    Your suggestion is the only "cure" that I have found.
    I thank you, my iPod thanks you, and my iPhone 4 thanks you for taking the time to post this fix.
