ITunes isn't saving my preferences

hey guys
Recently my iTunes started playing up - first it came up with a error saying it was unable to save the iTunes file. but now its worse, its forgetting my preferences every tine I start it up it shows me the licence agreement which I accept - as I usually have sound-check on I tried putting it on then exiting and re-opening it, sound-check magically turns off! also when I start iTunes up it shows me the iTunes welcome/tutorial screen.
Thanks in advance
Charlie

  • Since installing Yosemite, my iMac isn't saving Notification preferences.

    Since installing Yosemite, my iMac isn't saving Notification preferences. I know it's an issue, because I've seen it in other forums. Any help?

    Here are the instructions I got from AppleCare from an Apple Engineer. I'm not sure if the fix was specifically for my machine or if it'll work for someone else. Follow at your own risk.
    1. Open the Library folder in your Home folder.
    2. In the Library folder, open the Application Support folder.
    3. Locate the folder named NotificationCenter. Drag this folder to the desktop.
    4. Next, open the Terminal application.
      Copy and paste each line of these commands into the Terminal window, in order. Press return after each line:
    cd `getconf DARWIN_USER_DIR`
    rm -rf com.apple.notificationcenter
    killall usernoted; killall NotificationCenter
    5. Close the Terminal app.
    6. Restart your computer.
    The notification preference changes won't stick until you restart a 2nd time after this.

  • IMac isn't saving Notification preferences.

    Since installing Yosemite, my iMac isn't saving Notification preferences. I know it's an issue, because I've seen it in other forums. Any help?

    This procedure will revert your settings in the Notifications preference pane to the defaults.
    Back up all data before continuing.
    Triple-click anywhere in the line below on this page to select it:
    ~/Library/Application Support/NotificationCenter
    Right-click or control-click the line and select
              Services ▹ Open
    from the contextual menu.* A folder should open. Inside it are one or more files with long names. Move the files to the Trash. Log out or restart the computer and empty the Trash. Recreate the settings.
    *If you don't see the contextual menu item, copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination  command-C. In the Finder, select
              Go ▹ Go to Folder...
    from the menu bar and paste into the box that opens by pressing command-V. You won't see what you pasted because a line break is included. Press return.

  • ITunes isn't saving songs to my external hard drive like I want.

    Hello,
    This might be a simple problem.
    I have my iTunes set-up to download directly to my external hard-drive. However, when I inport a CD....it's not showing-up in my external hard-drive?! Since I am assuming the songs are being stored somewhere, I would liek to know how to get them on my external hard-drive and then make sure they're actually NOT on my PC.
    Many thanks for anyone that can help this not-so-tech-savy individual though this!
    THANKS!

    If you go to Edit>>Preferences>>Advanced, you will see the location of the iTunes Media folder. The default location is My Music\iTunes.
    This is where iTunes will store imported CD and purchases from the iTunes store.
    You can change the location to your external drive, but this only produces an effect in the future. Anything already added, stays where it is.
    If you want to move stuff, you have to consolidate your library. File>>Library>>organise.
    But be aware that this copies things into the iTunes Media folder,leaving the original intact.
    If you use an external drive you must have it working when you start iTunes or iTunes will go back to the default location for the iTunes media and then you will have to reset preferences again.

  • ITunes isn't saving album artwork.

    After adding some songs to the iTunes library the artwork is blank, and I've hit "get info" and "add album artwork" and it loads it just fine, but it goes away after I click "ok".

    when importing album artwork, does anyone know if its possible to make it not embed the artwork in every file and instead act like the artwork downloaded from the iTunes store?
    It is not possible.

  • Itunes isn't saving anything i do on my ipod touch.

    When i try to put an app on my iPod Touch it doesn't save anything and it says it is over capacity. I dont have much on there but a few gigs of songs and like a gig of apps. I have an 8gb iPod Touch 4th gen.

    When your iPod is connected to your iTunes Library, look on the Device panes and check what the various capacity indicators say.
    In particular, how much space is listed as "Other"?

  • Itunes library not saved using windows 7

    I keep getting an error      "Itunes libray not saved an error (-50)" Can someone help me out. I am limited in my computer skills so it will need to be in regular english. Thanks inadvance for any help you can share.

    I'm having the exact same problem, I click the iTunes icon, and it acts like it will open but then nothing happens. I left it once and after 7 minutes it finally opened. I cannot find any information on why this is happening. My library is around 45GB total, which isn't really that much.
    I'm on Windows 7 x64 w/ SP1 and fully updated. Running newest version of iTunes x64. My system is an HP dv6-1134ca w/ Intel Core 2 Duo T7200, 750GB WD Scorpio Black @ 7200 and 4GB DDR2 PC6400 RAM. I have an iPhone 3GS 8GB that syncs with this PC.
    Someone from Apple should assist with this issue as I did not experience this problem until I recently reinstalled my OS.

    Hey, i've tried connecting my ipod to my laptop itunes and it's not working. My laptop shows it's connected but itunes isn't showing it's there. i've tired reinstalling, taking itunes off rebooting the laptop and putting it back on. I don't know how to get it working. Plus on top i restarted my ipod and the choice between wifi and connecting to itunes i'm choosing itunes but it's still not showing up. I can use the help for the Windows 7 and ipod touch. Please and Thank you!

  • By backing up the iTunes Library via saving the iTunes folder on an external drive, is it also backing up all iPad and iPhone backups as well as App Data and Documents from your devices?

    If I backup my iTunes Library by saving the iTunes folder on an external hard drive using the instructions contained in the link below, will it also back up all my iPad and iPhone backups as well as App Data and Documents from my devices? In other words, will it also create backups for the backups? Thank you.
    Back up your iTunes library by copying it to an external drive
    Furthermore, when it is time to restore the iTunes folder I copied to my external drive to a new iTunes program on my new computer, how will it merge the information once I plug in my iPad or iPhone to that new laptop to sync? If I did the iTunes library backup a couple months ago and I've added documents/music/pictures on my devices since then, what will happen when I try to sync it with the new laptop now working off of the iTunes library backup from a couple months ago since the information is no longer the same? Which information will dominate and thus be kept? Will it delete the new information/data/pictures/documents/music off of the devices since it is not on the iTunes program when it syncs?
    Sorry for so many questions, but they are all related to backing up and restoring iTunes. I am not very tech savvy if you cannot tell

    It would be a good idea to look into a bigger hard drive. They are not that expensive any more and can save a lot of headach. This is even more important if you are buying music from the iTunes music store. If you lost those files they are gone.
    The point of having it on your PC and iPod is to have a backup. If the iPod fails, or you need to go back to the DVDs and find they are scratched, or just can not be read you have lost days of work converting and organizing all of those songs.
    Or the iPod could hard drive could fail and then you will have to try to bring all of those files back from DVDs. You end up with a mess since some songs will probably be on multiple DVDs, have different names ect. Trying to reorganize it all can be a pain.

  • Why is it, all of my itunes are not saved in the cloud?

    Why is it, all of my itunes are not saved in the cloud?

    If you mean that you have iTunes Match and wonder why not all songs go there, this should help:
    "Since there are more than 26 million songs in the iTunes Store, chances are your music is already in iCloud.  And for the few songs that aren't, iTunes uploads what it can't match ..."
    The above comes from here:
