ITunes keeps forgetting settings after upgrade to 9.0.3 (15)

My iMac autoupdated itunes and now every time I log on it's as is i'm logging on for the first time, keeps asking me if I want to keep my itunes folder organised etc. I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling the software but the same problem occurs. Also each time I restart itunes it 'forgets' my iPhone is synced as a remote (using the remote app) and I then have to reset this.
No problems with any of this before the update. Anyone any ideas?
Thanks

You may have a corrupt preferences file.
Quit iTunes. Go to your user account/Library/Preferences folder, locate a file named com.apple.iTunes.plist and drag it to the trash.
Start iTunes again and complete all the setup questions. You should not have to do this again. You will have to go through all the selections in iTunes > Preferences as they will revert to default.

ITunes will not launch after upgrade--click, bounce bounce, nada

iTunes will not launch after upgrade--rebooted nothing--2 bounce icon
then shut down all and unplugged, restarted--no change, iTunes still will not launch after upgrade
iTunes current version
on imac w/10.6.8

I have the same issue.
Allready uninstalled iTunes and reinstalled it, but the same problem occurs.
Icon keeps bouncing, and all that's visible is the first menu-item in the top menu bar, named iTunes. Nothing is clickable though.
The iPhone Configuration Utility doesn't seem to work either, it crashes on uploading an app to my iPhone. I guess it's using some of iTunes' libs or something.
Does anyone know how to get iTunes working again? I'm getting pretty desperate over here...
Thanks!

My iTunes keeps shutting down after i plug in my iPod

My iTunes keeps shutting down after i plug in my iPod. First it just wouldn't open but now it finds my iPod and then shuts down, it closes it's self. can anyone help?

The five R's don't work because I don't have enough time to restore iPod before it shutsdown, and reinstalling iTunes didn't solve it either.

ITunes keeps forgetting location of music on external drive

iTunes keeps forgetting the location of the music i have which are stored on an external drive. it remembers a handful of them but forgets the rest so i keep getting an exclamation when i want to play them. how can i make iTunes permanently remember these files????

ah sure that's what i have been doing. the drive is always on before iTunes but iTunes can never find my music without me actually finding them for it. the location in iTunes preferences is also pointing towards the drive so not sure why it can't find them!?

Hi bodeboni!
You will probably want to download the newest version of iTunes (iTunes 11.1) directly from Apple and install it on your computer if you are having issues updating. The link for the download can be found here:

Thanks for using the Apple Support Communities!

ITunes doesn't work after upgrade to iOS 6

iTunes doesn't work after upgrade to iOS 6. The white screen with gray tape above appears, and nothing more happens. Reinstalling/restoring iOS doesn't help. I have contacted support team in my country (Russia) by phone, but they could not solve the problem. Is there downgrade to iOS 5.1.1 available?

What printer are you using? Is it listed here:

Safari Keeps Forgetting Settings

Anyone Help

Okay ... it's likely to be trouble with settings/preferences files and so forth. So I'd be inclined to rebuild all of those. Try the instructions from the following post:

ITunes Match not working after upgrade

After upgrading to iOS 6 ota on my ipad3 my iTunes Match is not showing any songs. I get the artists and albums, but they are empty. I hav shut iTunes Match off, then on without results. I have reset my iPad without results. Any insight appreciated. It works fine on my iPhone 4 after upgrade.

Yeah, so I did the full restore recommended by other posters, and that fixed the issue for me, as well. I backup my phone to iCloud, so these are the steps I took:
Backed up the phone by going to Settings -> iCloud -> Storage & Backup -> Back Up Now
Reset the phone by going to Settings -> Reset -> Erase All Content and Settings
When phone started back up, I went through the initial setup screens, connected to a WiFi network, then selected the option "Restore from iCloud Backup", entering my Apple ID + password
After a couple of restarts on its own, my phone froze starting up (black screen w/ silver Apple, progress bar frozen), and despite a couple of hard restarts by holding power + home button, it kept freezing at startup at the same point. I had to connect my phone to my computer and wipe it via iTunes (select the iPhone in the left navbar, then click "Restore"), then I did steps #2 and #3 again, and this time it restored properly. Now, all my iTunes Match songs and playlists show up and play properly.
If my phone hadn't frozen in mid-restore, it wouldn't have been that painful, but, still, kind of irritating that it was necessary.

ITunes keeps forgetting my file locations...

I have a decent amount of music that I keep on an external harddrive in order to not fill my laptop's harddrive. The problem is that iTunes CONSTANTLY forgets where the files are located. I have no idea why. I'm still trying to simply get all of my music into iTunes in a perfectly organized fashion, and I'm just now getting to artists that start with the word "The". But having to add everything that I've already added once before is simply slowing me down. Therefore I've finally decided to ask for help. Is there any way to prevent this from happening? I'm sick of it. Instead of attempting to tell iTunes to locate each individual file (which is usually everything I've placed in my library), I end up just clearing everything and loading everything all over again. If iTunes is smart enough to at least remember the information I've altered, why can't it remember where the files stay?

+Is there any way to prevent this from happening?+
With an exHD, that is common if the drive letter gets reassigned by WIndows.
The solution is to assign a permanent drive letter in Windows. Such as M: for Music, pretty far down in the alphabet.
For example, Monday your exHD is plugged in and Windows says it is drive E:.
On Tuesday you plug in a digital camera card and Windows says the digital camera card is now drive E: and your exHD with music is drive F:
Poor itunes is trying to find music on drive E: but all that's there is digital photos. It doesn't know everything is now on F:
You can assign a drive letter using windows Disk Management.
This page has some screen shots
http://www.itechtalk.com/thread3400.html
The exHD must ALWAYS be plugged in and operational before you open itunes. If itunes is constantly losing the paths to files, either the exHD isn't plugged in, the drive letter has changed, or the exHD has powered down.
Another tip is to keep the itunes database file on the exHD, so if itunes cannot find it, it creates a new blank database on C: and you can immediately know to check the exHD. After a short moment of panic at a blank library, you can close itunes, reconnect the exHD and do a shift-start of itunes to get back to the exHD database.

ITunes won't start after upgrade--error message

When I launched iTunes after upgrading to 6.0.1, I got the following message after agreeing to the usual legal terms:
"The folder "iTunes" cannot be found or created, and is required. The default location for this folder is inside the "Music" folder."
Any suggestions?

Jeff,
Thank you for the reply and your suggestions.
Yes, I did take a look in the Music folder--and no, the file was not there. I then used Spotlight and did find an iTunes Music folder, but when I tried to copy it to the Music folder I got error message -36, saying that parts of the file weren't readable and, therefore, not copyable.
I also used my disk utility to repair permissions and re started the computer---with the same results.
I'm not sure what else to try and may take my computer to my local expert.
best,

USB device keeps disconnecting/connecting after upgrading to Windows 8.1

I have a device(Pedal for Sim Racing) connected via USB, everything is working fine in Windows 7 and 8 but after upgrading my machine to Windows 8.1 the device keeps disconnecting and connecting for like every 2 seconds. But after I open the Property Sheet
in Game Controllers panel the disconnection issue was gone, if I reconnect the device the issue persist. Other people who have similar device also encounters the same issue after upgrading to windows 8.1. The issue persist with or without the device driver
installed.
Any idea, what might cause this?
Best regards
mark

I'v got this exact same problem with my Win 7 desktop. I've also got pedals and wheel but don't see it as different than all the other USB devices. I'm using a bunch of USB, but no hubs, including 3 external storage hard drives. But the momentary
disconnect appears in all devices as best as i can see..even my long time trouble free head phones..keyboard..and all. Sometimes the sound goes away and if I unplug and replug them the sound comes back, and other times I have to exit and re enter the
game. I also get video crashes ..maybe not related.IDK..and have to restart all, because I've got three black screens in Eyefinity. For years my system was trouble free and its just slowly started getting worse. I've thought it had to do with system "sleep"
etc but long ago went to never sleep max performance etc..Makes no difference. Keep thinking its my hardware or my house wiring etc..But can't seem to solve it. I replaced my Mobo/chip/ram maybe 6 months ago and that appears to have not helped. It seems
to be getting worse. I hate to start replacing parts piece by piece..cost a lot of money and sometimes doesn't help.
When I'm playing a game I can often hear "faint" sound of USB connect disconnect happening with regularity..that little bing/boink sound etc..So it must just be constantly happening...Seems weird. Didn't have anything like this happening years
ago with pretty much the same hardware and same Win7 with the continuing updates etc.
What can be causing this common problem?

ITunes won't sync (after "upgrading" to Lion because my four year old macBook can't use Mtn. Lion) With a little ranting sprinkled in.

I hope someone out there has the expertise to tell me what I am doing wrong. I expect a learning curve from a new Mac operating system, but I don't expect weeks of problem solving and glitches. Lion...well, they won't let me use that word.
Since I "upgraded" to Lion, when I hit "sync" in iTunes on the computer, I get one of three things: 1. Nothing happens, or: 2. A message appears that there is not sufficient room on the Nano for the changes, which is not true, or: 3. It syncs down to next to nothing on the Nano and I have to hit revert.
Sometimes I'm confronted with a screen that wants me to check or uncheck each and every album (but not songs) that I want synced. I have already kept up to date a more specific and complete list of the same sort elsewhere in iTunes: the "Music" list in my itunes "Library." Today I unchecked some songs and checked some others expecting to easily have the corresponding changes made on my iPod, as I have for years. This is the list that I have refined over the years based on new music acquired, my changing tastes, and room left on the iPod. Am I really expected to duplicate this process on another list only to end up with no options for individual songs I do, or do not, want synced? What is the purpose of this exercise?
I finally got it to upgrade to iTunes 10.6.3. I was repeatedly getting a message in iTunes that there was an upgrade available. I would hit upgrade within that mesage in iTunes. It would go through the process of checking for new software and then tell me my software was up to date. (I was running iTunes 10.6 (40).) Software update also told me my software was up to date. I had to go to the Apple site to find and download and install iTunes 10.6.3. The change made no difference to the above problem. I'm not used to screw-ups like this from Apple.
I can't think of a single change in Lion that I like. Not one. I hate the new calendar. I hate the new Safari, and I hate the new Mail. I hate the combination of Google search and the address bar. I hate the way hiting a hot link in Mail opens a new tab in Safari instead of a new window. And the number of hassles and fixes and problems to be solved in the move from Snow Leopard to Lion has been like nothing I have experienced before on a Mac.
An iMac and a laptop are not iOS devices. And iPads and iPhones are not laptops or desktops. To try to merge the operating systems is a major error in my opinion. Thanks for putting up with my rant. I never expected to be so frustrated by a Mac "upgrade." And I've been using Macs a log time. Any advise would be apreaciated.
"Shinwell Johnson"

In lieu of relaxing on Sunday, I've been working on this.
I tried launching Thunderbird (TB) in TB's "Safe Mode". This launches TB like it's being used for the first time - and it didn't crash, which got me hopeful.
So I deleted the TB profile folder and the TB preference file from the ~/Library folder. Then I manually copied them over from my old Mac to my new Mac - figuring that maybe something got damaged by Migration Assistant. After I installed all of the TB files and folders into the right places in my ~/Library folder, I rebooted the Mac (just to be safe) and tried to launch TB - and it crashed upon launching, with essentially the same crash log as shown above.
So it looks like there is something in my TB Profile that Lion doesn't like (but that Snow Leopard was fine with).
Any suggestions for how to find and fix/remove the offending item? Is there something I could search for in the crash log that would point me to the offending item?
