ITunes configuring each time it starts...

I noticed about a week ago that everytime I try to open iTunes, it "configures" and puts a new icon on the desktop before it will start.
Does anyone know how I can prevent it from doing this each time?
I'm using Windows XP Pro. Here is a screenshot of the dialog box:

I get this too if I move/rearrange the iTunes folder/icons in the start menu. Its really annoying since I like to keep my start menu organized on my terms.
This is on my XP computer at work. Sorry I wasn't helpful, but I'd love to know why this happens and how to stop it.

    After this frustrating event, just wanted to let others know how I solved it.  After fully deleting iTunes 8 - still no success.  Finally went to the Apple store in Perth WA.  Using their in store wireless, it downloaded fully.  I use wireless 3 and obviuosly the signal is not strong enough.  The Apple store is one amzing experience - worth the frustration with getting iTunes 10 downloaded.  Will have to take another visit to the store as my upgrades keep falling over.

  • Office 2013 Professional Plus configures each time you start

    I have a problem that has been well documented for Office 2010.
    I have just installed Office 2013 as an upgrade from Office 2010 and every time I open an Office 2013 application I get the following message:
    'Please wait while windows configures Microsoft Office Professional Plus 2013".
    I have tried to follow the solutions provided for Office 2010, particularly Microsoft article ID 2528748; Method 1 did not solve the problem and using Method 2 the Fix It was not applicable and as I am using Windows 7, I was unsure how to manually apply
    the fix.
    Has anyone else experienced this problem and found a solution.
    Regards
    As an update, I did manually apply Method 2 but it still did not solve the problem. I considered doing a System Restore back to Office 2010 and found there were resore points created to 'uninstall' and 'reinstall' Office 2013 which corresponded to 'configures'
    message.

    Below is the answer I got from Max Meng (a forum moderator) when I posted a new question (it looks like I am going to have to completely uninstall and reinstall to see if that fixes it, but maybe this will help someone else).  The thread this comes
    from is:
    http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/officeitpro/thread/105fb8c6-c974-42c1-b783-c5e6f31d6d17
    I thought restoring all security settings to default values was interesting.  I noticed that I had some issues in my registry that prevented the SecEdit command from completing properly, but even when I had cleared them up, I still haven't fixed the
    problem.  I am also checking into possible interaction with Dragon Naturally Speaking (does anyone else who has the problem have that installed?).  Here is what Max told me:
    Not sure if you have tried to repair your Office, if no, please try to repair your Office as a quick fix.
    If that doesn't work, try to fix it with the following methods:
    Method 1:
    Open an elevated Command Prompt, type the following command, and then pressENTER:
    secedit /configure /cfg %windir%\inf\defltbase.inf /db defltbase.sdb /verbose
    Method 2:
    Try start Office in safe mode, see if this problem will still persists. (Press and hold the CTRL key, and then click the Office program to start it in safe mode.)
    If the problem does not occur in safe mode, this issue might be related to third-party add-ins. Disable the add-ins and start Office to see whether the problem continues to occur.
    If the problem continues to occur in safe mode, we recommend that you uninstall Office and then install it. To do this, read the following Microsoft knowledge base article:

  • Each time I start iTunes, it configure again the program.

    I'm running iTunes v7.6.2.9 with Windows Vista Ultimate 32bits and SP1. I reinstall iTunes, but it change nothing. Each time I start iTunes, the configure window appear.
    I also have some problems with QuickTime. When I try to watch a movie, I get this error message: "Error 46: Could not load or find the QuickTime ActiveX control.
    Thanks in advance for your help.

    This seems to be caused by a bug in the Vista installer. Are you using the link on the Quick Launch toolbar? Try using the iTunes link in the main Start Menu and it should work OK. If not try opening the program from the *C:\Program Files\iTunes* folder. I simply replace the Quick Launch link with a freshly made shortut to the iTunes msin program. I then get caught out again after every iTunes upgrade....

  • "Loading iTunes Match" showing each time I start Music

    Hi,
    I've recently had some trouble with iTunes match, where it wasn't downloading songs, although I could stream them fine. I spoke to someone from Apple who suggested turning off iTunes Match, then do a 'Reset All Settings', then re-enable iTunes Match. This seems to work fine, as I can now download songs.
    Since performing the above 'reset', each time I start 'Music', it displays 'Loading iTunes Match', the progress bar gets all the way across, then I see my songs (not my playlists though - but that's a separate question). However, if I come out of Music, and go back in, I see the same message..
    I've now tried about 10 times, with re-boots and turning off/on iTue

    Hi,
    There may a problem track amongst those tracks that are waiting. Firstly, add iCloud status column to song view - go to menu > view > view options and tick box.
    Next is to examine those tracks waiting - is there anything unusual or large? You may need to remove all those tracks waiting from your library. Next hold shift key whilst turning off match. Close iTunes, reopen and turn on match. You will be asked to add this computer, do so. The match process should be quick, match will remember previous matches and uploads.
    Once process complete, readd those tracks, a small batch at a time. This will help you find any track that match does not like.

  • Just installed latest Itunes, and system now grinds to a halt, caused by apsdaemon.exe and apple mobile using 99% processing. Have stopped these processes, but each time I start Itunes I have to do it all over again, any help would be appreciated

    Having just installed the latest iTunes update, I find my system grinds to a complete standstill. I've checked and found two apple processes, apsdaemon.exe and applemobiledeviceservice.exe use 90% plus of my processor, so have stopped these. However, each time I start iTunes the same situation occurs. Is there anyway I can remove these exes from my system or is apple aware of this stupid update and what are they doing about it. Any guidance would be very much appreciated

    What version of itunes were you using before you updates?
    Have you checked other related post?
    iTtune will require applemobiledeviceservices.exe and others to run.  What you are experencing is usually caused by a conflict with other software on you system.  Everybodys system is set up differently, so there is not a "one fix all".  Most commonly associated with Firefox addons, video accelerator software, podcasts on the backup, anivirus software, parential control software, take you pick!
    I found my fix here.

  • Each time I start iTunes on one of my computers it prompts me for my password.

    Hello all.  On one of my computers (a Sony VAIO laptop), each time I start iTunes, the program prompts me for my password to enable automatic downloads.  The email address of my account is filled in, but the password field is blank.  The other computer (a Gateway desktop) doesn't do this; evidently, the first time I input both email address and password, it saved it successfully and hasn't asked for it again.  Both are i7 machines running Windows 7 Home Premium with all updates current.  I've done all sorts of troubleshooting and even removed and reinstalled iTunes to no avail.  This only appears to have become a problem with the upgrade to 10.5.  Any ideas?  Thanks in advance!

    Hello Vulspyr
    Look in the iTunes Store and there will a link that says Purchased, once there you should be able see all purchased made under the Apple ID that you are signed in with and there should be a cloud icon to download those tracks. The article below will assist you further.
    Download past purchases

    Hey Podieboy,
    Thanks for the question. It sounds like you are receiving a message about missing files when you start iTunes. The following resource may provide more information:

    If the file/song is not important, you can simply delete it from your library to avoid this error message in the future:

  • Each time I start up my MacBook Air a document appears on the desk top -calendarlogging.txt  I'm synching my calendar with iCloud.  Using Mavericks, but the same file was appearing using Lion.  Any thoughts.  Thanks

    Each time I start up my MacBook Air a text file appears on the desk top (calendarlogging,txt) the file/document contains lines of code.  I'm using iCloud to synch my calendar to multiple other devices - iMac, iPad and iPhone.  Using Maverick on both my iMac and my MacBook Air.  The file was also showing up on the desktop when I was using Lion.  Any thoughts?

    Hi everyone,
    To anyone who might read this, I ended up re-installing with the original install disc and was able to get back on to Mac, though I lost all of the previous data that I had not backed up. Unsure still if it will continue to let me access the HDD in this, but it kind of confirms that installing Lion probably put too much stress on the computer this last year.

  • ITunes crashes each time I connect/disconnect ANY USB device... OR even Ethernet

    Hi,
    I use the last version of both iTunes (11.1.5 64 bits, last version detected) and Windows 8.1 on an Asus G750J (64 bits) and for several weeks now iTunes crashes EACH TIME I connect or disconnect ANY USB device (not only my iPhone, but my external hard disk or my... mouse) and even my Ethernet port...
    None of my other softawares are impacted
    Thanks for your help
    Serge

    Reinstalling the 64 bit version in the x36 programm folder seems to solve the problem but it's not satisfactory. I'd prefer to keep the advantage of beeing under the 64 bits version.
