ITunes launches each time I open Safari
Hi,
Each time I launch Safari, iTunes launches. A clue: iTunes immediately goes to the store and brings up an app called SendStuffNow. This is a real pain. At one point I had downloaded the (free) app, but decided I didn't want it and deleted it. Now it won't leave me alone!
Perhaps a long shot, but you might try resetting Safari (File menu -> Reset Safari). It may be holding onto the URL to an app in the iTunes Store and thereby reopening it every time.
Hope this helps.

I have a 27" iMac when I open Safari the web page is only 1/3 the size of the full screen Safari window. I know how to ZOOM in on the web page! My question is, How do I keep this ZOOM setting for all web pages and each time I open Safari up?
Sorry, but that's not possible.
An alternative might be to use Zoom in System Preferences > Accessibility
Or try a different screen resolutioin in System Preferences > Displays > Scaled -
Each time I open Safari it opens the last web page I was at rather than my home page. How do I stop this from happening?
This is part of Lion's Resume feature (I assume you are on Lion).
A couple of things you can do: System Preferences>General and deselect 'Restore windows when quitting and re-opening apps'.
Also when you shutdown or restart make sure the following is unticked: -

Need to re-add computer to iTunes Match each time I open iTunes
Every time I start up iTunes (10.6.1.7) on my Windows Desktop PC (Windows 7 Home Premium, Service Pack 1, 64 bit), I see the cloud with lightening bolt icon next to the music item in the iTunes Library indicating that iTunes is not connected with iTunes Match. I am able to work around the issue easily enough by clicking on the store menu, turning off iTunes Match, and then turning iTunes Match back on (and entering my Apple ID password and waiting a few minutes for iTunes Match to redo the initialization process). I would like to actually solve the problem instead of having to work around it every time I fire up iTunes. Any recommendations?
Thanks!I have iTunes 10.6.1(7) 64 Bit on OSX Lion 10.7.4 and I have to log into and resetup iTunes Match every time I open iTunes after I have restarted my Mac.

My Mac Book Pro changes the saved home page each time I open Safari. I am also getting random tabs opening with various "cleaning up" my computer junk.
How do I get rid of this? I tried some of the fixes listed but they don't seem to work or I am doing something wrong.
THanks
WendiYou may have installed one or more of the common types of ad-injection malware. Follow the instructions on this Apple Support page to remove it. It's been reported that some variants of the "VSearch" malware block access to the page. If that happens, start in safe mode by holding down the shift key at the startup chime, then try again.
Back up all data before making any changes.
One of the steps in the article is to remove malicious Safari extensions. Do the equivalent in the Chrome and Firefox browsers, if you use either of those. If Safari crashes on launch, skip that step and come back to it after you've done everything else.
If you don't find any of the files or extensions listed, or if removing them doesn't stop the ad injection, ask for further instructions.
Make sure you don't repeat the mistake that led you to install the malware. It may have come from an Internet cesspit such as "Softonic" or "CNET Download." Never visit either of those sites again. You might also have downloaded it from an ad in a page on some other site. The ad would probably have included a large green button labeled "Download" or "Download Now" in white letters. The button is designed to confuse people who intend to download something else on the same page. If you ever download a file that isn't obviously what you expected, delete it immediately.
Malware is also found on websites that traffic in pirated content such as video. If you, or anyone else who uses the computer, visit such sites and follow prompts to install software, you can expect more of the same, and worse, to follow. Never install any software that you downloaded from a bittorrent, or that was downloaded by someone else from an unknown source.
In the Security & Privacy pane of System Preferences, select the General tab. The radio button marked Anywhere should not be selected. If it is, click the lock icon to unlock the settings, then select one of the other buttons. After that, don't ignore a warning that you are about to run or install an application from an unknown developer.
Still in System Preferences, open the App Store or Software Update pane and check the box marked
Install system data files and security updates (OS X 10.10 or later)
or
Download updates automatically (OS X 10.9 or earlier)
if it's not already checked. -

"Welcome to Itunes" each time I open itunes
Hi all,
Only recently, each time i open up itunes, I get a screen "Welcome to Itunes" and it wan't to take me through steps to set up my library and import songs etc. I don't want to do anything that might possibly cancel my music library, so I say "Cancel" but it keeps popping up each time I open itunes.
Any ideas?
Thanks,Has anyone solved this "Welcome To iTunes" popup every time you start iTunes? I get it every time. I run Windows XP Pro, iTunes 8.0.2.20, iPod Classic 120GB firmware 2.0.1. I don't believe iTunes has updated itself once since I've installed it (just bought my iPod a month ago).
I tried the shortcut fix I've read all over the internet, about deleting the original shortcut and creating a new one, etc.. to no avail.
All I have to do is click "cancel" on the "Welcome to iTunes" popup when I start iTunes and I get into iTunes normally with all my settings/music intact, but it is just a pain in the but and if someone else comes and uses my PC and clicks through the wizard without clicking "cancel" I'd probably lose everything.
Please help... A couple hundred bucks dropped on this cool gadget and it should work...shouldn't it? -

Hello,
For years I use in my computer Windows Media Player and/or Media Player Classic to play my music and video files and I know quite well all their operation options. My problem is that since I install the iTunes program, mainly for servicing my iPod Touch, every time I connect my iPod to the PC or open iTunes, the iTunes program without any warning or authorization auto configurate as default media player overriding my Windows and Classic Media players, so each time I have to open iTunes and go to the Advanced Preferences Menu and unselect the option " Use iTunes as the default audio application" so to be able to use my favorite media players.
My question is: ¿What I have to do to avoid or prevent iTunes to auto configurate or autoselect as default media player or override my favorite media players, each time I open it or connect my iPod?
Plese your help,
Regards,
PablHello BPeery,
I would go through ALL the steps here:

ITunes erases what I've copied each time I open iTunes after transferring
I'm at my wits end, hope someone can help.
I have a new iPod and downloaded iTunes. I started transferring my CDs via iTunes and synced them up with my ipod with no problems. However, after the first initial 20 CDs or so, I shut the computer down and the next day wanted to continue. First, the music was no longer there. Then, when I transferred the same CDs again to iTunes, thinking it was just my error in some way, when I tried to sync my ipod up again, I got the error message that my iPod is linked with another iTunes library, and to sync with this 'new' one I need to delete the old files off the iPod. So I did. Now this SAME thing has happened again. This is a brand new ipod.
Basically iTunes is 'new' each time I open it (with no files) and does not recognize my ipod as being synced with it.
I hope this makes sense.
Thanks in advance for any tips
cheers
JessicaWelcome to AD!
Vaio users worldwide have been seeing this problem. Some Sony software causes a conflict with iTunes. You need to set the Sony Content Folder Watcher to leave the iTunes folder alone.
Looks like Sony may have put out an update for that in Asia:
http://www.sony-asia.com/support/faq/300917/productcategory/itpersonalcomputer
Contact Sony to see if they have an update for your model, or configure its software to leave itunes alone.
There is a way to configure the sony software - I don't have a Vaio, but this older topic has directions

MacBook Pro loads crash screen each time I open it.
Each time I open my MacBook after it's been closed for a while (I haven't time it to see if there's a minimum), it boots on a semi-opaque gray screen with a white loading bar (several rectangular boxes spaced apart from each other). I think that screen is usually for when your computer dies/crashes and reboots itself.
Any idea what's going on? I tried restarting/turning off and back on (one or the other usually resolves any problem I'm having). I'm running 10.8.2 with the latest firmware updates.
15" MacBook Pro (Summer 2012)
2.3 GHz Intel Core i7
8 GB 1600 MHz DDR3
NVIDIA GeForce GT 650M 512 MB
1680x1050 Screen Resolution (the upgrade)
500 GB HD
Thanks!I recommend you keep a regular backup going in the time being, as it is very odd that an iTunes update would prevent this. Therefore it may be something bigger that just temporarily stopped coincidentally with your iTunes upgrade. With a Time Machine backup you can also migrate your data to a new installation that should be more stable if the problem persists and is ultimately software-based.

My iPhoto application rebuilds each time I open it. How do I avoid?
Each time I open iPhoto warning appears...need to upgrade library...then inconsistencies appear need to rebuild etc. etc. But nothing changes permanently. Why not? How to fix?
Option 1
Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild. Choose to Repair Database. If that doesn't help, then try again, this time using Rebuild Database.
If that fails:
Option 2
Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. This will create a new library based on data in the albumdata.xml file. Not everything will be brought over - no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your albums and keywords back.
Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one.
