Itunes Helper is missing...

A couple of weeks ago, all my "login items" in Accounts disappeared. I believe it was after a system update. But, I've been slowly adding things back in there as I discover it missing.
Just found out ItunesHelper is not in there. Need to add it back.
Other instructions for finding it in the Itunes.app Resources did not lead me to mine. (itunes.app/contents/resources/)
Please help.

iTunesHelper was removed in a previous software update, I think it was OS X Lion. You shouldn't need it for anything anymore.
Edit: My bad, it is still there, it just isn't in my login items, you can re add it if you want to.
Find your iTunes application, probably in the Applications folder.
Right click it and choose Show Package Contents.
Open Contents, then open MacOS.
iTunesHelper is in there.

Itunes help file missing after 10.5 upgrade - Help!

upgrade itunes to 10.5 through auto updater... and now there is no help funtion. Just a message about missing URL. I am of course online and all other sites work. How can they screw-up an upgrade like this! Now I waste my Sunday trawling the forums.

Have you looked directly in the folder Library/Fonts to make sure the font is really missing (and you are not just getting a bad message from iWeb)? If you open TextEdit and do Format > Font > Show Fonts, is this font really missing from the list?

My iTunes library is missing since upgrade Lion 7.2. I have it all backed up so that's not the issue. How can I reinstall it with all my hundreds of playlists intact or do I have to recreate each one upon reinstalling the backup copy? Thank you for help

Almost my iTunes library is missing since upgrade Lion 7.2. (the last 2.5 weeks worth of added music has transferred post-upgrade, none of whcih was bought from iTunes)
I have it all backed up so that's not the issue. How can I reinstall it with all my hundreds of playlists intact or do I have to recreate each playlist upon reinstalling the backup copy? This would save a HUGE amount of time and efforts. Thank you for your help!

hi Limnos,
I do not mean the entire ITunes folder but, rather, the contents of the ITunes folder prior to September 29th. (90% of the media is missing, along with all playlists) The media that remains says it was added on 9/29 although I know most of it was added many months or even years earlier. There are no playlists listed at all, before or after 9/29. (I know for certain that I added non-iTunes purchased songs on 10/6 although I had not created playlists for them)
I have my iTunes folder backed up on both an external drive as well as Time Machine.
I run iTunes off of an ITunes folder on my computer rather than from the external, if that's what you mean about how I have it set up.
Is it OK to drag the entire iTunes folder from the external drive onto my laptop's drive and see if that fixes it?
Thank you for your help!

Missing Itunes Help Files?

When I search for subjects within Itunes Help nothing shows up (just a blank dialog box with Help headers at the top). When I select Itunes & Itunes Store Help from the Help menu I used to get a Help guide as the first dialog window telling me particular subjects of interest and a search box -- this dialog no longer appears. I think this may have occured after a recent Itunes update. I really rely on the Help Facility to use Itunes. Any suggestions on how to get it back? Should I reinstall my current version of Itunes?

Perhaps this will help:
Mac OS X: Can't access Help content, or content is blank or missing links

HT203175 How does one fix the problemd.... "application itunes helper.exe - mobile me service failed to start becasue missing MSVCR80.dll" ? This started after the last "update" of itunes

With a recent update of itunes, ( a couple weeks ago), when plugging in my iphone, itunes did not automatically launch...and when manually selecting itune to open I recieve the statement ...
"application itunes helper.exe - mobile me service failed to start becasue missing MSVCR80.dll" ?
I have gone to the itunes site and reloaded itunes....and did not fix the problem. ....help

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.

ITunes Help Missing on PC

After updating to iTunes 10.5 and to ios 5, iTunes help is no longer available on my PC. When I look for it via the pull down menu, I get this message:
NOT FOUND
The requested URL/itunes/win/10.5 was not found on this server. Appache 2.2.3 (Oracle) Server at help.apple.com Port 80.
A similar question has already been posted but their are no responses other than mine - commiserating with the person who posted. I am teetering on the edge of the iCliff!! Can someone - anyone? - help me?
Thanks in advance!

If you had a mac I would tell you where to find iTunes Helper, but I wouldn't know on Windows PC. I suggest that you uninstall iTunes, restart the PC, and reinstall iTunes; it is IN the package that installs iTunes... I hope this helps.

Missing itunes helper

I mistakenly removed the itunes helper from my account login and now itunes does not start automatically when I connect my iphone. I have spotlighted my hard drive trying to find it, but I can't find anything. Any suggestions on how to get the itunes helper running on my account login again?
Thanks in advance.

FInd the iTunes application, control-click it, choose Show Package Contents, open the Contents folder followed by Resources, and drag the iTunesHelper into the list of login items for your account.

HT203167 A movie I purchased in the iTunes store is missing. It isn't hidden and doesn't show up in search. I've followed support steps. Where is it and how do I find it? I believe I originally purchased the film on my 1st Gen AppleTV.

A movie I purchased in the iTunes store is missing. It isn't hidden and doesn't show up in search. I've followed support steps. Where is it and how do I find it? I believe I originally purchased the film on my 1st Gen AppleTV...other movies show up. Help.

It was Love Actually. It's been in my library a few years but is now missing. It's odd...it isn't even in the iTunes Store anymore. I think there is a rights issue because a message appeared in the store saying it wasn't available at this time in the U. S. store. Still, if I bought it years ago it should be in my library or I should get a refund....

I'm having a huge issue with itunes locating my missing files..and it's too many for me to locate 1 by 1..It says I'm missing over 3,00 songs and They are all in my music folder..What can I do to fix this issue?

I'm having a huge issue with itunes locating my missing files..and it's too many for me to locate 1 by 1..It says I'm missing over 3,000 songs and They are all in my music folder..What can I do to fix this issue? I've looked at all the tutorials on youtube and none of it works. I recently got a new computer and I Back-Up all my music and itunes playlist and I import it on my new computer with the new itunes and I go to play a few songs, it says I'm missing them I locate a few but it's still like 3,000 missing and again they are all on the computer and in one folder..Please Help !

I did that and nothing changed half my songs still have examination marks beside them
I also just tried dragging my folder of music int he playlist and it duplicated all of my songs? My playlist was at 5k now it's at 10k becuz of 3 duplicates of songs. Is there a way to delete multiple duplicate files?

I have a new iMac running iTunes 10.4 in OS 10.6.8, and a new Mac Air running iTunes 10.4 in Lion. I was able to transfer all my music etc. from the iMac onto the Air, but cannot figure out how to get the Playlists from the iMac to the Air. iTunes Help

I have a new iMac running iTunes 10.4 in OS 10.6.8, and a new Mac Air running iTunes 10.4 in Lion. I was able to transfer all my music etc. from the iMac onto the Air, but cannot figure out how to get the Playlists from the iMac to the Air. iTunes Help says File >Library >Export playlist and choose XML, or to save a copy of all your playlists, File > Library > Export Library, "the Exported info is saved in XML format." Then it says, "to import an iTunes playlist, File > Library > Import Playlist". Now I am assuming I do that import part on the Air, but when I try it doesn't recognize anything that can be imported - what am I missing??? Aside from a clue...

Thanks, Jim, for taking the time, but the reply is unfortunately vague in the exact area of my confusion! "you need to copy that file to your new computer..." Well, the Import/Export instructions make it seem as if the two computers should be able to communicate this file thru wifi, but that's the linkage I can't seem tocreate with Import/Export. Should I instead email a copy to myself (thats what applecare suggested)? Copy it to and from a thumb drive? But then place the file where? And the article was helpful, but should I be trying to move the Library file or the Library.xml file (as iTunes Help suggests)? Sorry to be so clueless about it...I suppose I buy Apple in the hopes of not having to think about this stuff, which approach seems not to be serving me well. Thanks again for your time!

When itunes is installed missing file -45075 appears, any suggestions

When itunes is installed missing file -45075 appears, any suggestions

Me too.
I have looked at 2-3 other posts, and they still fail to resolve this.
I have reinstalled iTunes; I have repaired every other Apple component and ......
Same message every time.
I am running fully updated Windows 8 (not 8.1 yet though)
Looking at the number of posts in this discussion group, it does appear to be something that Apple could take a more proactive lead on. Either a more meaningful error message, or ideally a fully loaded iTunes installation.
COME ON GUYS - help us out here.
If it wasn't that I NEED iTunes to manage and backup my phone, I'd uninstall the %^$*&^ lot. That said, my 4G upgrade to the iPhone 5S is now in serious doubt ... maybe a time for a complete change.

Itunes helper is corrupt...can't update itunes!!!

Using the dreaded Vista, I have now tried to uninstall and reinstall the newest version of Itunes. My itunes/helper/resouces folder claims to be corrupt. When I try to empty all Itunes folders to start from scratch, I can't get rid of ituneshelper/resources. The folder says it has 0K in it, but I get error message 0x80070091 "directory not empty". Now I can't complete the itunes download, therefore, my older version is gone and I now have NO itunes! I also get an error message when trying to install the new 7.3, "there is an error with your installer" and it doesn't complete the download process. This is HORRIBLY frustrating..especially since when I got my new laptop back in March, everything worked fine...I don't know what starting jacking everything up...now I can't upload my ipod, and as of today my itunes is GONE! Help!

For everyone having this problem, the itunes store horizontal scroll bar missing, please report it to Apple
itunes menu > help >provide itunes feedback
I sent mine in, with the URL to this thread:
http://discussions.apple.com/message.jspa?messageID=11233683#11233683
A somewhat workaround is to click on the words "Itunes Store" twice pretty quickly, so itunes opens a 2nd screen for the store. Then at least it is big enough to see the free download buttons for this week's free downloads!

Looking create a script for itunes to replace missing playlist songs

Hello, basically all of the songs in my itunes folder got erased, so in itunes they were replaced with "!". I dragged the library folder back into itunes, and they were all found in the "Library" but not in the playlists. Is there a way to create an apple script to link the found tracks in itunes with the missing songs in the playlists?
Thanks!

I found that this is full of 'Users' and more likely to be experienced using AppleScript and Automator.
Although I don't say that someone here won't be able to help. Just might take longer here or, as you yourself suggest, may need posting elsewhere on this site. Just speaking from previous experience of both sites
