ITunes opens explorer window when searching for updates or selecting restore for any iOS device.

When trying to check for updates from within iTunes for any device, or trying to restore a device in iTunes I click the update/restore button and iTunes opens an explorer window for me to browse to the .ipsw file. I am unable to get iTunes to check the Apple servers for the restore/update files.
Where is this setting stored either in the registry or the iTunes folder?
I have performed a clean uninstall (http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1923) , have removed my apple preferences that were stored in the AppData folders for each user and have reinstalled and still see the explorer box rather than the check apple for updates dialogue.
I have a feeling that the particular setting is somewhere in either the itunes library folder, in the registry or in another plist file... but where is the question?

Have you had any luck in resolving this issue? Seems Apple are a bit quiet on it...

    Hi Drgeert-
    The hub may not be broken per se, but Apple has made adjustments to the limits on current that can be drawn from ports.
    You probably need a new hub.

  • Finder Windows always open new windows when clicking subfolders

    since i upgraded to 10.5.6, my finder windows only open new windows when I click on a subfolder. this is no matter what I do with the setting in preferences.
    Also, my finder windows no longer display the side bars with folder icons.
    I searched my library (and whole computer) for the finder preferences .plist file and can't find it. (was going to delete it and re-create it).
    Any ideas here?

    Thanks for the star.
    The default of Finder’s Find will not search that folder, but you can change the pulldown menu just beneath where it says Search, from Kind to System files by selecting Other from that menu and then scroll down the next window and check the box next to System files. You’ll then need to change the pulldown menu next to that to “include” instead of “don’t include.”
    The next time you do a search using Find, that pulldown menu will have System files as an option, if you think you might want to search for something in your home folder.

    Hello,
    ''jstavene wrote:''
    can find nothing under the tools menu for private browsing?
    Then it's not the same issue.
    If Firefox is set to '''Never remember history''', then you're in “permanent private browsing” mode, in which case the menu item ''Stop Private Browsing'' will be grayed out. Perhaps that's the case, and you don't find the menu item easy to see?
    * [[Settings for privacy, browsing history and do-not-track]]
    If that's not the case, then menu items can be hidden using the userChrome.css file. Check if it exists, and if it's there, rename it, then restart Firefox.
    * http://kb.mozillazine.org/UserChrome.css
    In Firefox Nightly (what will become Firefox 20), per-window private browsing has been added, so the menu item under the Tools menu is gone. It's been replaced by New Private Window under the File menu. I don't suppose it's very likely that you're using such a cutting-edge test version of Firefox though.
    If that doesn't solve the problem, since it's a different issue, it would be best if you would ask a new question.

  • Messages opens multiple windows when selecting it from notifications

    I notice that when I click on a new arrival message (iMessage) from notifications popup it will open 4 seperate windows and I can't reply until I close out 3 of the windows. Anyone else seeing this?

    Hi,
    So you have Messages App open.
    However you have also closed (used the red Blob) the main Messages window so that you cannot see any current conversation.
    You have the Notification Centre set to Notify on Messages and it does so for incoming iMessages.
    At this point you say it opens 4 windows when you click the Notification.
    Can you tell what what 4 windows ?
    It should only be the Messages main window (Chat window/Interface)
    I tried to test this using one of my own iPhones
    I picked the one with the same Apple ID and it turned up like synce (no Notification, no sound alert)
    I changed iPhone to one that does not use the same Apple ID
    I got Notifications and sound but clicking the Notification does not open the main Messages window (I did still have my Buddy Lists on view).

  • Hi. I am using a time capsule for few PC s. I have made 5 different account to access time capsule. but in windows when i enter account name and password for one account, i cannot access other accounts, because windows saves username

    Hi. I am using a time capsule for few PC s. I have made 5 different account to access time capsule. but in windows when I enter account name and password for one account, i cannot access other accounts, because windows saves username. how can i prevent this from happenning. I really need to access all my accounts and dont want it to save automaticlly.

    Why have 5 accounts if you need to access all of them.. just have one account?
    Sorry I cannot follow why you would even use the PC to control the Time Capsule. Apple have not kept the Windows version of the utility up to date.. so they keep making it harder and harder to run windows with apple routers.

  • I repeatedly receive an error when my IPad is trying to restore during the IOS 5 update. The error is (-50).  How do I fix this?

    I repeatedly receive an error when my IPad is trying to restore during the IOS 5 update. The error is (-50).  How do I fix this?

    Try restarting everything and then try to sync or reactivate. Quit iTunes, reboot your computer, reboot your iPad and then try again.
    Reboot the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up.
