ITunes 7  Setup Assistant does not go away...

After upgrading to iTunes 7 every time I start it this setup assistant window pops up explaining about downloading album artwork. I have to hit OK or Cancel to get iTunes to open. How do I get rid of this annoying thing. It's like a nag screen or something. I have a store account but it still pops up every single time.
Any help please...

This might sound a little unorthodox, but I read it in another thread and tried it out.
Might want to make sure your music is backed up
Change your preferences to what you want
Close all other applications, leaving iTunes open
turn off your computer using an abortive shutdown (do not use the Windows shut down method) press the pc power button
After a little bit, turn on your computer
Open iTunes and the setup assistant should not appear and your preferences are where you set them.
Worked for me.

  • AirPort Setup Assistant does not find AirPort Extreme

    Hello,
    I am trying to stream music to my home stereo. My setup is exactly like the one displayed on page 17 of http://manuals.info.apple.com/en/AirPortExpress_Setup_Guidev4.2.pdf
    AirPort Setup Assistant shows my AirPort Extreme, but not the AirPort Express. I did hard-reset the AirPort Express several times, but the light stays amber and the Setup Assistant does not discover the AirPort Express.
    Until I changed the configuration (prior I had an AirPort Express only), I was able to use a shared network with a PC, so I don't believe the AirPort Express is defective.
    Is there anything else I can do?
    Thanks,
    Fidelio

    P.S.
    I was able to solve my problem. It turned out that the AirPort Express software was outdated. So I connect directly, using an Ethernet cable, to the Ethernet port of the AirPort Extreme. Then used the AirPortExpressFWUpdater.dmg to upload the latest software. Finally I followed the instructions posted by Tesserax at http://discussions.apple.com/message.jspa?messageID=5342301#5342301 and it worked.

  • Ipod Nano Setup Assistant does not appear!!!

    I am using an HP PC (64 bit)with Windows Vista. I have installed the 64 bit edition of i Tunes, and I have tried EVERYTHING the troubleshooting assistant has suggested (several times) and the "ipod nano setup assistant" fails to appear after I install the itunes/QT and connect the ipod nano. PLEASE HELP!!!

    No.  But you should still have a backup of your user data, including your iTunes data. 
    If you want to completely remove and reinstall iTunes, this document explains how to do it (assuming you use a Windows PC)

  • ITunes 7 Setup Assistant appears at every iTunes Startup

    Everytime I start iTunes, the Setup Assistant asks setup questions. It seems that most setup information it collects plus other setup options entered in "Preferences" is not remembered when iTunes is shutdown. I have not seen this specific problem addressed in this "Installing & Updating..." forum so I thought I would start this thread.
    What I have tried:
    1. Uninstall and Reinstall iTunes 7.
    2. Removing and replacing "iTunes Library.itl" with my last working version.
    The problem is still there. However, after performing #2 above, it does now seem to remember that my library is located on HD "H:" and not the default "C:". Other settings are not remembered though and I still get prompted with the "iTunes Setup Assistant" each and everytime I startup iTunes. Any help in correcting this problem would be appreciated.

    I tried deleting the 2 files with the following results:
    1. C:\Documents and Settings\<username>\Application Data\Apple Computer\iTunes\iTunes.pref was present but had a date of 9/12... the date I originally updated to iTunes 7.
    2. C:\Documents and Settings\<username>\Local Data\Application Data\Apple Computer\iTunes\iTunes.pref did not exist...
    3. I noted that both folders containing these files are marked "read only". (Is this proper?) I did try removing the "read only" but was not successiful. That attribute returned every time I checked.
    4. Neither of these 2 files have been rewritten even though I have restarted iTunes several times.
    I am still being asked the same questions at each startup. I dont think I mentioned that while iTunes is installed at the normal default location on my drive C:, my music library is located on my external H: drive where it has been for better than a year now. iTunes is remembering its location.
    You suggested I try setting up a new library... I assume I will be able to recover my original without much trouble. It's not huge, but I do have several thousand songs in it.

  • My wife received a new iPad Mini for Christmas-- when connected to iMac, icon appears in iPhoto sidebar; however, there appears to be no option to "unmount." Also, unlike my iPhone 4S whose icon appears in iTunes sidebar, the Mini does not. Any insights?

  • Ora10g_win64_cient Setup.exe does not start

    Hello Everybody,
    I downloaded ora10g_win64_client (10.1.0.2) and I try to install it on Windows 2003 Enterprise SP1 for Itanium 2 but when I try to launch setup.exe then a black windows named Oracle Universal Installer appear on the screen.

    Hi,
    Thanks for your reply to my thread but I already did what you suggested without success and after further investigations we found that the problem is in the jre. The java.exe does not work, it return an unknown error. We tried to download the jre from SUN in order to use it instead of the one delivered by Oracle and it worked the installation succeeded.
    But now we have a new problem, the Network Configuration Assistant does not work an exception is throw by the oranjini10.dll

  • Migration assistant does not recognize time machine backup

    Hi Guru,
    I made a time machine backup today, 10.8.2, then made full reinstall of system in Apple store, in Berkeley, because my iMac experinced some unstability.
    we installed new Mac OS, and now I face a  problem: migration assistant does not recognize hard disk with buckup.
    Finder sees this disk, it has Backups folder.
    OS: 10.8.2
    BackUp made: Time Machine 10.8.2
    Hard Disk: Lacie 500MB
    any ideas?
    Thank you

    I am conserned about restoring using setup assistant because I need to transfer personal files and applications only.
    You can do that in Setup Assistant.
    Migration Assistant doesn't accept Time Machine backups of the computer it's running on; it only accepts compatible backups of other computers. You can't migrate a system to itself. To restore files from the same computer, enter Time Machine in the usual way, or else boot into Recovery and either restore the whole startup volume or erase, reinstall OS X, and restore in Setup Assistant.

  • Airport Setup Utility does not find Airport Express

    I have an airport extreme connect to my iMac and today installed an airport express in another room so I can use a printer and speakers for piping iTunes to the other room.
    I connected my printer to the Airport Express and plugged the airport express into the socket to power it up. After initially showing a green light, then solid yellow, the airport express showed a blinking yellow light. The airport express is only located 10 feet from my airport extreme base station.
    The Airport Setup Utility does not find an extpress in the area and I have even done a hard restart on the express to see if this fixes the problem.
    Am I missing anything with the configuration of the airport express? Thanks for your help.

    Ahh, I have the same problem... my airport keeps stopping and starting. I then tried using the setup utility with with express and it cannot find it. I tried rescanning, but nothing.

  • "pending updates" status does not go away after updating apps

    When I download app updates to my computer (Windows 7) via iTunes and then sync to either my iphone or ipad (iOS 8.1.2), the updates actually install and the apps can then be opened. However the status of the applications in the App Store remains as "pending updates", and the badge notifications do not go away, even if I do a hard reboot. If I update over wifi, there is no issue. This is very annoying. Any suggestions?

    Ok since my last post the notifications does not go away on its own. There has to be a way to remove that...

  • I have a 16GB iPhone 3GS. Tried synching my phone through iTunes (11.0.1 I think... on a 2009 Macbook Pro). Now when I connect to iTunes, it says it does not recognise the content on my phone. Is this because my phone (and laptop) are too old?

    I have a 16GB iPhone 3GS. Tried synching my phone through iTunes (11.0.1 I think... on a 2009 Macbook Pro). Now when I connect to iTunes, it says it does not recognise the content on my phone. Is this because my phone (and laptop) are too old?
    Also, when I tried to Restore the settings, an Error Message pops up that says " The iPhone software update server could not be contacted. The requested resource was not found.
    I'm trying to free up space on my phone by removing [literally] thousands of old photos which were originally synched to the phone, because I had forgotten to uncheck the photos button when I synched it ages ago.
    I have also tried synching it on my 24" iMac (running OSX Snow Leopard). But again, when I try restoring the phone through itunes, it says the file is corrupted. It sggests unplugging the device, and then plugging it in again. I have done this numerous times with no success.
    I'm guessing it must be because my phone (and versions of iTunes, and OSX) are all too old.
    Please can anybody help.

  • ITunes 12.1.1 does NOT work with Windows - Fix??

    Hi everyone,
    I had issue after issue with the latest iTunes update (12.1.1) not working on my windows 7. It simply would not lunch when clicking on the shortcut to open.
    After a fair bit of searching I found this alternative version which seemed to do the trick and now it works:
    iTunes 12.1.1.4 for Windows (64-bit - for older video cards) - iTunes64Setup.exe(2015-02-18)

    The "for older video cards" installer - which, like most prior "64 bit" versions of iTunes, is actually a 32 bit application with a 64 bit installer - may be a useful fallback if the full 64 bit version does not install or run correctly.  Although 12.1.1.4 is a major improvement over 12.1.0.71, there are clearly still some lurking incompatibilities with some 64 bit Windows systems/components.  It is, however, a little misleading to say that "iTunes 12.1.1 does NOT work with Windows" - in many cases it works fine without switching to the alternative version.  I have the full 64-bit version of 12.1.1.4 running on three systems - two Windows 7 and one Windows 8.1 - no issues with either installation or operation on any of them.

  • ITunes 9 Home Sharing does not work on Windows 7 x64

    iTunes 9 Home Sharing does not work on Windows 7 x64.
    Getting the following error message:
    Home sharing could not be activated because this computer is not authorized for the account "iTunes account." Please authorize this computer and try again.
    This is a bug since my computer is authorized in iTunes and there is only 2 computer authorized for my iTunes account, so I have 3 more left till I should get this message.
    I've just upgraded my iPhone to OS 3.1 using it this morning.
    Please advise.

    <edited by host>

    I am using Windows 7 x64.
    I am running iTunes 9.0.2.25
    I am running Mcafee.
    I can see and play music from the iTunes installation on my Windows 7 machine, but I CANNOT access the library to copy songs from this computer to other computers on my network.
    YES, I have enabled "Home Sharing" using my iTunes account. NO, I have not authorized more than 5 computers on this account.
    I believe this to be a Windows 7 related issue, as Home Sharing worked as advertised when I was using Vista (before I upgraded to Windows 7).
    I CAN set up Home Sharing on two other (host) computers in my home network and it works. These computers are XP and a MacBook Pro. I CANNOT access my Windows 7 machine x64 to COPY music from one autorized library to another. Please help!!!
    P.S. - I have attempted to get this to work by turning OFF my McAfee firewall. Windows firewall is disabled.

  • I connect my iPad to my PC and open iTunes, but the iPad does not show up in sidebar.  I want to sync. How do I do it?

    I have my PC on, then plug in my iPad (which is on) and open iTunes.  The iPad does not show up in the sidebar.  How do you get it to show up so that I can select the iPad and then configure the sync settings in each of the settings panes....hoping that these actually show up.
    In the manual it says "log in to your computer user account before connecting iPad".  I am the only user of this PC...does this mean some other user account.  I am confused.  I need "baby steps" to tell me how to do all this....very senior and just learning about this wonderful machine. I will very much appreciate your help.

    If you are the only user on your computer you probably don't have multiple user accounts set up and can disregard that.  If you are using iTunes 11 go to View>Show Sidebar.  Now see if your iPad appears under Devices on the left side when you connect it.  If it does, click on the name of your iPad on the left side and your iTunes sync settings options will appear in folders with tabbed headings to the right.
    If it doesn't appear on the left side, follow the troubleshooting steps shown in this article: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1538.

  • I can't synch my iPhone with iTunes because the device does not show up in a device window when I plug it in...it's missing in action and thus I'm not able to add any content from the iTunes to my iPhone, e.g. podcasts

    I can't synch my iPhone with iTunes because the device does not show up in a device window when I plug it in...it's missing in action and thus I'm not able to add any content from the iTunes to my iPhone, e.g. podcasts.   All the instructions on synching start with "find your device in the device window".  But what if you have no device window?

    Missing "message" from above: The iPad "DGMTR" is synced with another iTunes library on DGMTR's MacBook Pro. Do you want to erase this iPad and sync with this iTunes library? An iPad can be synched with only one iTunes library at a time. Erasing and syncing replaces the contents of this iTunes library.
    I thought the libraries were the same.
