ITunes 10 (64bit) keeps re-installing from shortcut

I installed iTunes 10 (64bit version) under Windows 7. The install went fine and the program runs no problem. But the icon shortcut it created on the desktop keeps re-installing the program over and over each time I run the program. Anyone have that problem?

Yes, I'm having the same problem (I have the 32bit version of Windows 7). Every time I open the program it says "Please wait while Windows configures iTunes" and it puts a shortcut on the desktop. I am also having problems with the default file associations...and it won't allow me to change them, so apparently iTunes isn't my default music player.

ITunes match is keeping my phone from syncing.

So I've been stumped the past couple days as to why my phone would not sync.
It would get stuck at the "Waiting for sync to start"
Then I would get some error about how the Sync couldn't start.
So I restore my phone. Set up as new phone hoping this would fix the problem.
It did, restoring and setting up as new phone allowed me to sync my phone.
So I sync a couple of my apps to my phone and decide to use my phone for a while.
Turn on iTunes match on my phone so I can hear some of my music.
Then I decide to sync more apps to my phone that I had forgotten earlier when I was Syncing my phone.
And no luck. Stuck back at "Waiting for sync to sart"
This has happened a couple times now, I've had to restore multiple times.
Everything is up to date, my iPhone is up to date, so is iTunes.
My phone syncs perfectly fine until I turn iTunes match on via my iPhone.
THIS IS REALLY ANNOYING.
Anyone have a solution?
Or having the same problem?

Same deal, seemingly. iPhone 4S 64GB, Lion, iTunes 10.5.3, iTunes Match On (i.e., all the latest, but nothing beta).
What I've just found strong evidence of is a connection between this "waiting for sync to start" issue and the whole "loads of empty playlists" issue. Whether this ties in to the faux-over-capacity issue I don't know, but I've got that bug too.
Here's the lowdown:
Noticed my capacity / over-capacity fluctuating awhile ago, but it always seemed to sort itself out. It still goes back and forth, but now I've noticed I just hang on "Waiting for sync to start." Actually, it's been doing that for a few weeks I think, but I wasn't paying close attention since all I cared about syncing during that period was getting music onto the phone, which iTunes Match managed to handle in its own ham-fisted, not-ready-for-prime-time way.
Just a minute ago, though, I looked at the iPhone's "iTunes Wi-Fi Sync" info page (wi-fi sync is off; iCloud sync has been long on, and seems to do its thing nicely in the background; last time 4am this morning). Guess what? Last direct iPhone to iTunes sync was on 20 January 2012. And guess what that corresponds to? It was the last sync before I created a playlist on the iPhone that subsequently spawned 32,000 blank playlists of the same name (I created the problem playlist whilst staying at a hotel with no Wi-Fi; a lack/breach in solid internet connection has been linked to the cause of this problem, according to other forums).
Side note: I used a script someone published to delete all these blank playlists. It took about a day to do it. And it worked, insofar as all the blank lists disappeared from the Mac version of iTunes (they stayed on the iPhone, alas, or some did -- it's impossible to gauge the quantity of them). Alas, about 2,000 of them re-appeared this morning on the Mac iTunes, but running the script deleted them within 30 seconds; they're still on the phone as far as I can tell.
Anyway, I might wait for iOS 5.1 or go ahead and RESET ALL SETTINGS (as was suggested on another thread) and restore from iCloud backup (possibly chancing it by going with iOS 5.1 beta 3 while I'm at it). I've never tried restoring from iCloud before, but imagine it "might be some time" as the Brits facetiously say, especially here in Outer Mongolia with good but not brilliant internet speeds.

Can I add a second device to my iTunes account but keep the downloads from each separate

I have family plan with provider and have added a phone for a family member. Is it possible to make purchases from the app store on the new device but charge my itunes account? If so, would those downloads be shared between devices or could they be kept seperate? I do not want my purchases to appear on the new device or vice versa.
Thanks

You can change the name of the new iPad to something else by connecting it to iTunes and selecting the name. When the name highlights you can change it.

I bought a TV episode from iTunes (I have version 10 installed), but when I try to play it on my laptop, it keeps stopping and starting, with the voices out of sync with the action. The action is stop/start as well., and occasionally it skips 5 or 10 seconds altogether, making it impossible to watch. What settings can I change to fix the problem.

Repair your QuickTime.
Control Panel > Programs n Features > highlight QuickTime and click CHANGE then REPAIR.

ITunes 10.5 won't install on my Windows 7, 64bit

This keeps comming up when I try to download iTunes 10.5 on my Windows 7 ,64bit
Can someone help me so I can install iTunes and be able to sync songs on my iPhone???

Yes. Please give us something to go on other than a complete reinstall of Windows 7 (Microsoft's solution to the issue behind this cryptic error).
At least acknowledge that the issue lies with Microsoft and an error in upgrading/installing the Visual C++ 2005/2008/200x Service Pack.
A client would like to install iOS 5 from their common Lenovo X61 laptop, but iTunes 10.5 will not install. I had to reinstall iTunes 10.4.x just to regain access to his media.

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?

After installing any version of itunes. Told failed to install properly and could not burn or import music from Cd's. Also will not allow eithre one of my 2 ipods to sync with it as well.

Could you post your diagnostics for us please?
In iTunes, go "Help > Run Diagnostics". Uncheck the boxes other than DVD/CD tests, as per the following screenshot:
... and click "Next".
When you get through to the final screen:
... click the "Copy to Clipboard" button and paste the diagnostics into a reply here. (Use your Ctrl-V keyboard shortcut to paste.)

Hi Tamekia,
I am sorry to hear nothing has worked yet. I have looked up some additional information and possible solutions. Follow the steps in this document to perform a level-three uninstall, register the Windows Installer Service, and then reinstall the HP software. An uninstall and reinstall of the software deletes and overwrites any of the files that might cause the error and resets the Windows Installer. HP recommends that you download the latest software from the HP Web site to remove any files that might be causing this error.
Level-three uninstall, and register the Windows Installer Service

Photoshop cs4 access denied when trying to install from disc in Windows 7 64bit.

Photoshop cs4 access denied when trying to install from disc in Windows 7 64bit. I tried it in
safe mode and it starts to install but get an error there as well.
What do I do?

So when you put the disk in it won't run correctly? When the disk is inserted you should have a window pop up with 2 options. 1 to install and the other to see what is on the disk. Choose to explore or open the disk. Go to the CS4 folder where the photoshop .exe file is (that will run the setup), right click on the .exe file and choose run as Admin and it should start. See if it will install. If not then read below.
I am not sure how far you got in the install before so chances are you will have to run the CS4 cleanup utility. 2 levels to run at but don't use 1 or 2 just type in the number 3.
http://www.adobe.com/support/contact/cs4clean.html
You may need to run the windows installer cleanup utility too
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/290301
Before you try to reinstall the software ensure that adobe reader is not installed. If it is remove it. It has caused issues in the past with vista and CS4 installs.
Also turn off windows Defender and any anti-virus software. You can keep UAC on in Windows 7.
During the CS4 install at 90 percent it will almost stop and may take 5 to 10 mins to finish. This is normal. What a pain huh......
After install is finished, reboot
After reboot, go to the CS4 64 bit or 32 bit icon (depends on 32 or 64 bit Windows 7) in start area, right click on CS4 64 bit (if you have windows 7 64 bit) and choose properties, compatibility tab and then check run as Admin at the bottom area. Hit apply, ok to close out.
Now start CS4 and run the updater.

I researched the advice on the link provided by b noir as well as very similar advice from apple support: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS5376. It worked for me (for now).
Some things of note:
I did all of the things requested by the link I provided
My computer WOULD NOT uninstall Apple Mobile Device Support. I had to manually remove the folder (also as instructed by the url)
I also uninstalled MobileMe. Was a little different than removing the other apps. Follow instructs provided here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2992
I did not uninstall iCloud
I have to admit it was a bit scary removing all those things. Is important to note that when re-installing Apple, follow steps to do so as Administrator (the right-click thingy and whatnot).
Hope this helps!

Apps no longer install from iTunes and disappear from home screen

Everything went fine until a few days ago, with no change I can discern, apps no longer installed from iTunes. They did install when I deleted them in iTunes, synced, then installed from the Touch. Now even that is failing unless I reset settings on the Touch after every install session. Resets make these apps appear but I have to do it all over again to install new apps and, again, only from the Touch. I
've reset in iTunes twice to a brand new iPod. Have tried installing one app at a time and can't find a culprit. This is a new development so I'm not inclined to think it's hardware. Can a bad app do this to a second generation Touch three months old running 2.2? I've never been near a jaibreak thing.

If you mean hardware I wonder why it would develop out of nowhere. It's a flash drive, yes? If it's a software problem wouldn't it be fixed by a reset. Remember that apps show up after resetting settings on the touch itself but doing that after every installation is a drag.

Are you listing the billing address for the card correctly? The address in the iTunes/MAS account must match the address on your bill exactly.

How can I delete a song from iCloud / iTunes Match, but keep it on my Mac?

How can I delete a song from iCloud / iTunes Match, but keep it on my Mac?
I subscribed to iTunes Match a few weeks ago and my entire library was uploaded. I do not want all of my library in the Cloud, especially given that there is a space/song limitation. Any help is appreciated.
Thanks!

Apologies Brandon, we have moved on somewhat from your original question.
What I have done is effectively used Michael's idea. I'll try to explain a little further.
You can run iTunes match on up to 5 computers, and you can edit the iCloud library on any of them. Michael's idea works on the basis that, whilst you can edit the iTunes library, you can't remove songs from other computers.
I have basically the same setup as you, but I also have a MacBook Air, which is running iTunes Match but without any music downloaded so it all streams.
I added the songs on my main library, which then added them to the cloud. When they appeared on my MacBook I deleted them straight away. As there was no local copy I was asked if I wanted to delete them from the cloud, and I said yes. When I went back to my main computer I found that, as expected, they were still there, but the iCloud status is "removed". They are therefore on my library but not in iCloud.
Since then I have run match updates a couple of times and there is no sign as yet that it will try to add them back to the cloud. It's too early to say that this is a definate answer to your problem, but it looks very hopeful.
Our other discussions have moved onto the 25,000 son limit, which I note from your comment you may also be interested in. Watch this space.
If you don't have access to a second computer to run the other library on then look back at Michael's post where he explains how to set it up on your main computer.
Hope that clarifies a bit.
