ITunes 7 won't save my settings - Please Help!!!
I just downloaded the latest version of iTunes, and every time I open it, it takes me to the 'iTunes Setup Assistant' and it deletes all of my settings whenever I close and re-open it. What's going on?!
it's possible that this is being caused by damaged itunes preference files. perhaps try the techniques in this user tip to see if they work with that:

It's been weeks and itunes still won't launch...please help!
Itunes and quicktime are sucessfully downloaded on my pc, but when i click on the itunes icon on my desktop, nothing happens, not even an error message telling me why itunes wont open.
I've been through all troubleshooting tips, but i still have no solution to this problem. If anyone knows a possible solution to this problem please help me out!Me too. This seems to be a widespread problem with no
solution in sight. I was strongly considering
updating my ipod but now I'm not so sure. I really
hope a fix comes out soon.
I posted similar problem last week. A lot of us XP users have been getting a runtime error message with no further explanation. There seems to be a conflict with the latest iTunes update and QuickTime. Finally found instructions for removing and reinstalling that has taken care of the problem. Go to
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=93976
and choose "Completely Remove iTunes and QuickTime." Good luck! -
Itunes (Mac) won't recognize ipod touch - please help!!
Hi. I have a brand new 4th-gen ipod Touch. I'm running Snow Leopard and iTunes 10.4.1 on a Macbook. I have three other ipods (classic, shuffle x 2) and they all work fine. THe USB cable and port work fine with other ipods (and with this one on the rare occasions it works properly) and the ipod touch, when it's cooperating, seems to function OK so I don't think it's a hardware failure. It hasn't been dropped/wet, and I've only used it for 4 days.
Bit of a saga and I'm getting seriously fed up!
The ipod touch synced OK the first time I went to set it up, I installed some music/apps and all seemed fine. Then the next time itunes wouldn't recognize it so I couldn't sync (it just charges through the USB but does nothing else). So I ran through all the suggested tests on Apple support (turning on/off, checking I had the right versions of stuff, etc), that didn't help so I uninstalled and reinstalled itunes 10. That worked, and the ipod touch synced and I was able to use it again. BUT, the day after that, it went back to not being recognized. Tried everything again, reinstalled itunes - that worked. Then the next day... not recognized again!
So I phoned Apple support, and the guy told me to hard reset and restore factory settings, which I did but it failed: first time it didn't restore (was just same as before). Second time I tried it froze and I got Error #1611. Tried again and got Error #1618 which isn't even listed on the Apple Support page the error message links to (by this stage it was showing the plug into itunes screen you get when you first turn it on, but only when plugged into a USB port - wouldn't turn on when not connected). So I called Apple Support again (different person this time) and was told it was a possible hardware failure and I should take it to my local Apple Reseller.
Apple Reseller staff looked at it, confirmed that it'd only turn on when connected to computer, so they plugged it into one of theirs and restored the factory settings. THis time successful (ipod working again) but went to sync to itunes and AGAIN it wouldn't recognized it. Went through the whole uninstall/reinstall process for itunes and got the ipod to sync. But now.... not recognized again!! I can't keep uninstalling and reinstalling itunes every time I want to sync the ipod, that's just ridiculous.
Has anyone else had this problem? And does anyone know how to fix it?I think I might have fixed it (touch wood, cross fingers, etc)...
Here's what I did:
In Finder, under "Go", select "Go to folder".
When the box comes up, enter this folder name: /system/library/launchdaemons
Click "go"
Locate this file: com.apple.usbmuxd.plist~orig
Put it in the trash
(NB: there's also a file called "com.apple.usbmuxd.plist" in that folder - don't touch that one)
Restart computer
Open itunes, connect ipod
If the ipod appears in itunes, restart and try again to confirm it's working.
This came from instructions someone else posted on another Apple discussion about an ipod touch not syncing. That reply said to do the software updates from the Apple menu first, but I did that and they failed to install but the above still worked, so the updates might not be necessary. -

How do I add a playlist to iTunes Match so that it'll appear on my Apple TV? It was appeared on it before but ever since I added some CDs to the playlist, it won't show anymore. Please help.
When new content is added to a playlist it has to be updated for it to be available across devices. If it's content that isn't matched the playlist is removed from the cloud. Did you make sure to access store - update iTunes Match? It should do it automatically after a few minutes but the odd time I have to force it.
Other than that may want to try reboot, log out/in. -
Itunes won't recognize the 80g, PLEASE HELP
itunes won;t recognize the 80g, PLEASE HELP, I've done everything the intstructions suggested. My old 20g used to pop up and automatically install. This does nothing
You might be running an earlier version of iTunes.
The latest version is 7.4.3, you can access it at this location:
www.apple.com/itunes/download
Let me know if that helps.

itunes 11 freezes under windows 7 64-bit immediately and won`t do anything. Please help !
The first thing to do is make sure you are using the latest version of iTunes. Look on the Help/Check for updates menu option in iTunes, which will confirm that you have the latest version or enable you to download it.
The effective way to Sync the iPod is to add your songs to iTunes and then connect the iPod to iTunes after you have added your songs.
So if you have been connecting the iPod and then trying to add songs "to the iPod" - don't!
You add the music to iTunes and then sync the iPod with iTunes afterwards.
Next, try connecting the iPod to iTunes, if you get the "duplicate file message", can you post it here (exact wording please)?
Once you have the iPod connected to iTunes, click on the Device that appears on the left of the iTunes window. On the Device/Summary screen, choose (check) Sync only checked songs and videos. Providing the songs still have the check mark on in iTunes (the default when songs are added to iTunes), those songs will Sync with the iPod.
Notice the other options in additiion to Summary. Look on the Podcasts pane for the Sync option (to add Podcasts to your iPod) and also on the Photos pane for options for adding (or not) Photos to your iPod. If you change any of these options, you will need to press the Sync button afterwards for the changes to take effect.
Lastly (for now), you can only Sync the iPod with one iTunes library. If you try and Sync it with a second library on your computer, or with iTunes on another computer, all your previous songs etc will be removed and replaced with the new library.
A thought... could the duplicate file message be because you have two iTunes libraries on your machine? -
When I run the Dr. Fone software it shows they are still on my iPad 2 but it costs 60-70 dollars. Is there another way to retrieve them? They were not backed up on Itunes like I thought they were. Please help!!
Recover software as you have described is pretty much your only option - keep in mind that if wait, some of the currently recoverable data may well be over-written and lost.

im having trouble connecting my macbookpro to the tv. im using a mini display port to hdmi adapter, when i switch tv/video to hdmi on the tv nothing pops up, and i dont have the arrangement tap on the display settings, please help!
I've found that the order of operations, so-to-speak, can be important when hooking up mini display port to HDMI. I have the most success with the following operations in this order:
1) Plug HDMI cable into mini displayport adapter (the cable should not be plugged into either the TV or the computer at this point)
2) Plug the mini displayport end of your new super-cable to the computer.
3) Plug the HDMI end into your TV.
4) Switch inputs on your TV to the proper input.
5) If still nothing on the TV, try a different HDMI port on your TV.
Hopefully this helps! Good luck. -

My illustator crashes when i try to save can you please help?
My illustator crashes when i try to save can you please help? im using Cs6
Archelass,
If the crashing happens when placing from/saving to new location with Yosemite, you maybe able to get round it by using the Adobe Dialog instead of the OS Dialog in the Place window (similarly for Save As in the Save As window).
If crashing happens when moving objects, the issue may be caused by the Chrome Pushbullet extension, see this post #3 by Matt with the solution,
https://forums.adobe.com/message/6984777#6984777
or by the Adobe Color extension, see this post #2 byhexxstatic with the solution,
https://forums.adobe.com/message/7095368#7095368
or by the cache on the computer, see post #5 in this thread by Booklover with the solution,

Or, when issues start to appear in general you may try the list.
The following is a general list of things you may try when the issue is not in a specific file, and when it is not caused by issues with opening a file from external media. You may have tried/done some of them already; 1) and 2) are the easy ones for temporary strangenesses, and 3) and 4) are specifically aimed at possibly corrupt preferences); 5) is a list in itself, and 6) is the last resort.
If possible/applicable, you should save current artwork first, of course.
1) Close down Illy and open again;
2) Restart the computer (you may do that up to at least 5 times);
3) Close down Illy and press Ctrl+Alt+Shift/Cmd+Option+Shift during startup (easy but irreversible);
4) Move the folder (follow the link with that name) with Illy closed (more tedious but also more thorough and reversible), for CS3 - CC you may find the folder here:
https://helpx.adobe.com/illustrator/kb/preference-file-location-illustrator.html
5) Look through and try out the relevant among the Other options (follow the link with that name, Item 7) is a list of usual suspects among other applications that may disturb and confuse Illy, Item 15) applies to CC, CS6, and maybe CS5);
Even more seriously, you may:
6) Uninstall (ticking the box to delete the preferences), run the Cleaner Tool (if you have CS3/CS4/CS5/CS6/CC), and reinstall.
