Installing MS Office has changed default itunes icons how do I fix

The installation of MS Office has changed the default icons iTunes uses.
Does anyone know how to fix this.

Do they still open with iTunes?
If that's not so choose any one of them and "Get Info" cmd-i. The in the "Open with" pane choose iTunes, then select "Change all".
If it's just the icons try rebuiding the LaunchServices data base.
  These are only cache files but can get corrupted. Launch /Utilities/Terminal and copy & paste this at the command line to rebuild LaunchServices: (be sure to copy the entire line it's a scroll)
Code:
/System/Library/Frameworks/CoreServices.framework/Versions/A/Frameworks/LaunchServices.framework/Versions/A/Support/lsregister -kill -r -domain local -domain system -domain user
Then press return. Wait until terminal returns to the command line. Quit Terminal. After that, log out and back in or restart. Let us know.
Or, use the free utiltiy OnyX to do the same via gui

  • Mail has changed my name!  How do I fix it?

    Just last week, mail has started appending the phrase "MSNXMLScraper" to my e-mail address on both incoming and outgoing messages.
    I know where it came from... I have a program by that name that runs on another computer, and sends me an e-mail message whenever it encounters an error.
    I've looked in the address book, and can't find that string associated with my e-mail address anywhere, nor can I find it in Mail Preferences.
    Can anybody tell me how to remove or change it?
    Walt

    check other entries in Address Book. is there perhaps a separate entry for MSNXMLScraper with your email address in it?

  • TS1538 I connect my iPhone 4S to my laptop, it gives me a message on the phone whether to trust the computer or not, however it never connects/ shows me it has connected on iTunes. How do you fix this?

    Becoming an annoying problem..

    Did you press trust this computer?
    Try some of these:
    trust computer
    Make sure your firewall is off
    Try plugging into a different slot
    Take passcode off of the phone

  • Most of my desktop icons have changed to itunes icons....

    Most of my desktop icons and all of my quick taskbar icons changed to itunes icons after upgrading to 10.4.....
    I uninstalled itunes and reinstalled using version 9 and the problem has returned.
    For now I've removed all itunes software and my computer seems to be OK.
    Is there a fix for this????

    Hi,
    This might be caused by service conflict, I suggest to perform a clean boot in this way:
    1.Swipe in from the right edge of the screen, and then tap Search. Or, if you are using a mouse, point to the lower-right corner of the screen, and then click Search.
    2.Type msconfig in the search box, and then tap or click msconfig.
    3.On the Services tab of the System Configuration dialog box, tap or click to select the Hide all Microsoft services check box, and then tap or click Disable all.
    4.On the Startup tab of the System Configuration dialog box, tap or click Open Task Manager.
    5.On the Startup tab in Task Manager, for each startup item, select the item and then click Disable.
    6.Close Task Manager.
    7.On the Startup tab of the System Configuration dialog box, tap or click OK, and then restart the computer.
    Details as below:

  • Just installed 7.02 and only get itunes icon and usb cord. If I connect to itunes as requested, will I lose all my photos ?  7 installed just fine, why the problem with 7.02 ?

    Just installed 7.02 and only get itunes icon and usb cord.  Why should I have to connect to itunes ?  If I do, will I lose all of my photos ?  Shouldn't I get free service for their software problem ?

    You don't have to update to 7.02 if you don't want to, though this update does fix a few glitches in 7.0.
    Before updating, you should always back up your data - it's standard practice. I've never lost pictures in an iTunes update.
    Perhaps you could elaborate on the comment, "Just installed 7.02 and only got itunes icon and usb cord." What problem are you having, exactly.
    Your next question confuses me. "Shouldn't I get free service for their software problem ?." What free service were you looking for? You can always go to your local Apple store for help, or ask questions here for free.

  • What is the name of the $20 program that has a red itunes icon that transfers music from your ipod to itunes?

    I second the whole iTunes folder approach.
    If for some reason you have split the media folder from the library files then the media folder needs to restored to the same path it used to have while the library files can be copied into the music folder of your new profile.
    If in dobut, backup up the entire Documents and Settings folder before wiping the infected drive, but be selective about what you restore as many viruses drop active components capable of reinfecting the compuer in the temp folders and internet caches. It is much easier to backup more than you need than to discover after the fact that you no longer have access to some vital project you'd been storing in a folder on the desktop.

  • I use itunes to store my music but I use Virtual DJ Broadcaster to play it. Somehow itunes has changed from Itunes Music Library to Itunes library. Virtual DJ does not Recognize the change.

    I use itunes to store my music but I use Virtual DJ Broadcaster to play it. Somehow itunes has changed from Itunes Music Library to Itunes library. Virtual DJ does not Recognize the change. Virtual DJ  at present seeing an older version of my libraries. Is it possible to Save my last library and Playlist and re-name everything else in my itunes account so it will again show "Itunes Music Library" Past libraries are of no consiquence . I'm hoping removing everything except  the last Library on my computers will make Virtual DJ  recognize it. I tried renameing  the Library to "Itunes Music Library" but it did not work. I fear the problem is in the Registry and without the correct path I am reluctand to play around  in there. Any help would be appreciated.

    Incidentally, my first thought was to map a network share from the NAS to my computer, so that my music files appear on the Z: drive, say on my computer. I could then set up iTunes to store music etc in that folder, and to copy all new items to that folder. However, if I do that, all that'll happen is that on my NAS, the library file will become out of date as I add music to the collection but not to the index.

  • HT204302 My ipod nano is not recognized in itunes on my computer, when it has in the past. How do I fix this?

    My ipod nano is not recognized in itunes on my computer, when it has in the past. How do I fix this problem?

    I would think, Twins1995, that if we are having the problem, others are as well. Hopefully, Apple will shortly issue a follow-up software release to fix the problem. Or is that just wishful thinking on my part.
    It would be helpful, if there were some kind of work-around in the interim, so we can use our devices. Pretty frustrating when you consider that all of the hardware and software is produced by Apple.

    check if you have read & write permissions for your music folder. in the finder, right-click on it and get info. unlock the little padlock (you may have to enter your admin password) and change the permission settings if necessary. next, click on the little gear-shaped icon and apply to enclosed items like so

    If you are UPDATING your app, it may be because that previous app was downloaded using another Apple ID.
    If not, you can try going to:
    Settings>iTunes & App Stores>Tap the top bar with your Apple ID>Sign Out and then Sign back in
    This may fix the issue you are having with it wanting to use another Apple ID.
