ITunes auto updated by store

Followed a link the opened the App Store, upon launch it updated iTunes without asking me if I wanted to. I did not!  Is it possible to revert to the last IiTunes incarnation.  The last version was bad enough and I really really hate the new interface.  I have not upgraded any to OSNational Park way too bright.  The fake metallic gives my eyes sort break from staring at 100 watt light bulb called the content part of a window all day.  I have 5 Macs here at home and will no longer be visiting the App Store if it keeps storm trooping updates without my permission.

I wasn't aware of the reference try surfing in the North Pacific,not even an insulated wet suit helps,..........Cold!
When it was updated by App Store it opened on it's own and went directly to the iTunes store. I didn't check to see if it had remembered where my content is located.  There's 4tbs of media on an external drive.  The other 4 Macs here at home all have the previous version. I know to copy all the attendant files located in the 3 libraries along with the application.  Been doing maneuvers like that since OS7. With OS10 Apple software like iTunes can so tethered to the OS that one has to be very careful. Even commercial software can be problematic as well, did it with Corel Painter, real nightmare. Thanks for the help.

  • HT5654 iTunes auto update downloaded and installed on 28/01/2014. iTunes now won't launch and error message states file MSVCR80.dll is missing. Tried uninstalling and downloading/installing again to no avail. Any clues?

    iTunes auto-update dowloaded and installed on 28/01/2014. iTunes now won't launch and error message states file MSVCR80.dll is missing. Tried unistalling and downloading/installing again to no avail.  Any clues?

    Click here and follow the instructions. You may need to completely remove and reinstall iTunes and all related components, or run the process multiple times; this won't normally affect its library, but that should be backed up anyway.

  • Does the iTunes Auto-updater Realize the Currently Installed Version is 64?

    I installed iTunes64Setup.exe for v7.6 before. ONce installed, there is virtually no way to tell it is the 64-bit version (about iTunes, etc.)
    Today the iTunes auto updater alerted me to udpate to v7.7.1. How do I know it recognizes I need the 64-bit version instead of the regular Xp/Vista32 version?

  • How do I disable the itunes auto-update for all users?

    I need to know if there is a way to disable the auto-update feature for all users that login to a windows XP computer.
    I have disabled it for the account currently logged in as well as copy that user profile to the "default user" profile. However I have about 300 users that do not have admin rights that still get prompted to install updates.
    Is there a way to disable the auto update as the default for all users. So that only I get the auto update notifications?

    Bump -
    No responses in over a week?
    Does no one else run a network where users don't have admin rights?

  • Windows Vista Issue: iTunes auto-updated, now will not open

    Computer: Dell XPS 400
    OS: Windows Vista Ultimate
    I was running a version of iTunes that I recently downloaded after installing Windows Vista Ultimate. Yesterday, Apple Updater updated my iTunes install to version 7.1.3.1 and now iTunes will not open.
    I have tried uninstalling, registry cleaners, running as administrator, using compatibility mode, etc. I have tried virtually everything listed on these forums and nothing has worked.
    iTunes.exe will run under Processes in Task Manager, but will never open.
    Does anyone have any ideas? Is Apple planning on fixing this apparant bug in future releases?

    This problem is evidently extremely common, as there are many posts saying essentially the same thing about 7.3.1. I installed it and ran into a number of problems immediately, the least of which was that iTunes does not run. The UI appears, but never gets focus so does not respond to any mouse or KB events. There is no error message of any kind. Deleting the preferences files does nothing. Deep removal of all things iTunes (folders, leftover registry keys, etc.) followed by a clean reinstall does not change the situation.
    Worse, 7.3.1 uses lots of CPU power (both cores >50% for seconds at a time) while doing exactly nothing. While I appreciate that Apple and Microsoft are dedicated to ensuring that no CPU is left unhammered, this is a bit much.
    I have the same version as a clean (first time ever) iTunes install on an XP laptop, and that, so far, is benign.

  • Why doesn't iTunes auto update to 10.6.1?

    Apple Software Update informs me of the above update and I click install.
    After a while the install gives the error:
    "Errors occurred while installing updates. If the problem persists, choose Tools>Download only and try installing manually".
    The fact that the iTunes menu does not include "Tools" seems to escape whoever wrote the script.
    Repaired Apple Software Update in Add/Remove programmes and tried again - same result.
    I can only assume there is a problem with this update and do not want to try the manual option.
    Anybody else seeing this?

    Seems I may have found the problem.
    I looked in Services and saw that I had set Apple Mobile Device to disabled.
    Reset it to manual and started it. Ran ASU again and 10.6.1 installed OK.
    The reason I set Apple Mobile Device to disabled is because I DON'T HAVE AN APPLE MOBILE DEVICE!!
    I don't have an iPod either but iPod service always runs on start up even though it's told not to synch with anything. iTunes Helper is another unwanted start up item but at least that can be removed.
    This unwanted start up junk is a pain, that's why I stop it.
    I assume other people may have done the same thing but why settings preferences should cause problems with updating I don't know.

  • ITunes auto update content of directory

    Is it possible to make a folder for example on the desktop call it music and then make iTunes autoimport the content from the directory to the iTunes? It is really annoying that i have to remeber what new songs i've got on my windows pc to import them to iTunes! And if i choose to import the same directory to my iTunes again it makes every item double! My solution at the moment is to delete all music everytime i start my iTunes and import the directory again really makes me use winamp more than iTunes but it's the only reason!!

    Sorry but no, iTunes has no "folder watch" feature.

    Hi pholewinski!
    I have a couple of articles for you here that I believe will help you with this issue. The first is an article on advanced troubleshooting, and it can be found here:
    iTunes: Advanced iTunes Store troubleshooting
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ts3297
    If following that article's steps doesn't take care of the issue, you can try the things listed in this article, which is about permissions issues in iTunes:
    iTunes: Missing folder or incorrect permissions may prevent authorization

    Thanks for using the Apple Support Communities. Have a good one!

  • The Mac App Store keeps installing iMovie after i've deleted it. I assume it is due to auto updates.

    The Mac App Store keeps installing iMovie after i've deleted it. I assume it is due to auto updates, but am not positive. Has anyone else expierenced this?
    I know it was a clean install where I deleted all the support files as well.
    (Running 10.9 on an intel i7 iMac.)

    OS X Mavericks: Reinstall OS X Heres the link if anyone else had the same problem!! This is if you deleted not only the Mac App Store, but iTunes, Calendar, whatever came with the Mac (Apps that came already installed on the Mac), if you deleted one of those then you have to reinstall the Mac OS, Note: This one is for Mac OS X (Maverick) my version is 10.9.4, go to that link and follow the instructions if you have Mac OS X (Maverick). Other help: Common Mistake: If you delete the app from the dock then just go to finder and applications folder and drag the app back onto the dock(it was just deleted from the dock NOT your system/computer). Hope that helps others who had the same problem.

    I am having all kinds of trouble with itunes and updating my ipad. I open itunes up but it doesn't do anything except open to a blank screen. I try to access the itunes store but it won't go there. When I connect my ipad, and try to update it, it starts and then I get a message that says backup cannot be saved on this computer. I have tried everything suggested to no avail. This is the 2nd or 3rd time I have had problems with itunes. Sometimes I even get a message that I am not connected to the internet.
    I have uninstalled and re-installed. Any help?

  • After installing the latest itunes/quicktime update, I can no longer access the itunes store and my iphone does not complete syncing. What can I do to fix this?

    After installing the latest itunes/quicktime update I can no longer acces the itunes store nad my iphone does not complete syncing. What can I do to fix this?  I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling itunes.  I have uninstalled and reinstalled windows updates. I have checked the firewall settings. what else?

    The problem is with version 10.4.1.  I had to reload 10.3 to get it to work.  The recommendation from a previous poster worked for me.  Here was their list of steps:
    Go to Control Panel>Programs>Uninstall
    2.  Uninstall the following Apple programs in the following order:
         a. iTunes
         b. QuickTime
         c. Apple Software Update
         d. Apple Mobile Devices Support
         e. Bonjour
         f.  Apple Appllcation Support
    3.  Reboot PC
    4.  Find, Download and Install iTunes 10.3 (you can find it at FileHippo.com)
    If you start iTunes now you will get an error message saying that the current iTunes library was created by a newer version of iTunes.  To correct this:
    5.  Go to your Music>iTunes folder and delete the "iTunes Library.itl" database file
    6.  Within this iTunes folder find and open the "Previous iTunes Libraries" folder and locate the most recently dated "iTunes Library (date).itl" database file.
    7.  Copy and Paste this file back into the iTunes folder
    8.  Rename this "iTunes Library (date).itl" file by removing the date.  It should say "iTunes Library.itl"
    9.  Reboot PC

  • We are trying to package our iTunes Windows and we can't stop the auto update feature.  How can we do this?

    We have consultants here packaging many of our Apps for deployment with Windows 7.  We cannot find a way to turn off the auto update feature within iTunes for Windows.  Has someone been successful in packaging iTunes for Windows and NOT do the auto update piece?

    The Apple advice revolves around the editing the registry:
    Windows OS Managed Client: How to manage iTunes control features
    ... but it's beyond my competence to advise how to work that particular registry edit into a deployment, I'm afraid.

    Any other recommendations?
