Itunes preferences get wiped out with new updates

Under itunes preferences I like to keep my files organized and to copy over files when I add them to itunes. Every time i get an itunes update and download it, these settings get wiped out. It's really annoying. Any thoughts?

Session Times out with new update on iTunes

I am having an issue with the new update. I click update, and it gets all the way to the end and it states "error: session has timed out" or server has timed out.. not quite sure which one. I went into the apple store and the guys there said try uninstalling iTunes and re-install. didnt work.. any suggestions on what to do? i really need to update my phone! Thanks in advance!

have you disabled all firewall, spyware and antivirus programs?

Does a iPad get wiped out (with all apps and folder arrangement), after you do a clean install on your Mac?

Hi there,
so my Mac Mini is getting very slow, and need to do a OS X clean install. I wouldn't want to loose my apps/folder arrangements on my iPad if I do a clean install on that Mac Mini.
Any suggestions you may have would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Akbal

Hi JT,
computer info: G4 titanium Powerbook w/ 1.33 gHz (i think)/15" titanium/OS X.3.9
If it's a 1.33, it's an Aluminum PB. If it's a Titanium, then the fastest it could be is 1Ghz, and if it shipped with 10.1, it's a 400-800Mhz. It would be good to know in order to install the correct OS (you cannot install an OS earlier than the one the PB originally shipped with). It sounds like you were running 10.1 on this before - yes?
here's what i've tried so far.
1) erased the HD (zeroed out)
all the ones i found say to start up from the CD, which ain't workin' for me.
I don't understand, if you can't boot from the install disc or Target Disk Mode, how did you zero the PB HD? Do you have an OS installed on your FW HD?
If you're attempting to boot into FWTDM correctly and the PB's HD is not mounting on the host computer, then you have hardware issues, possibly the PB's HD. Is the external HD you have a 2.5"? If so, I would install it in the PB and see if that shows up.

I have had my apple tv 2 for about 3 months which work perfectly fine when I use it with my iPad 3 ー all of the sudden I get the HDCP Error! I read the forms and done everything! Apple I name a loyal customer, please come out with an update soon!

That's one of the weird things.. it recognizes it maybe 10% of the time. And usually, only after I do the two-button reset. Problem is.. since it won't charge above 2%, anytime I try to do a restore or anything like that using iTunes, my device shuts off and I lose whatever progress I'd made.
So, an update... after reading through a bunch of similar complaints (there are literally 1000's of them so there's NO WAY this isn't somehow ios7 related, thanks a lot APPLE ) I decided to try a restore in recovery mode. After 3 hours and several disconnections... I ended up having to just set it up as a new iPad, as the restore did nothing. Weirdly though... as I was doing the restore in recovery mode.. I noticed I'd gotten up to a 10% charge.. higher than it's been since September, so after setting it up as a new device, I turned it off and plugged it in using the wall charger. 2 hours later and I was up to 38%. Still not great, as my iPad, before ios7 could've fully charged twice in the amount of time it took for me to now get 28% more of a charge. And that's with a fully cleaned out device.. so that really ***** and I'm now more confused than ever.
But I'm gonna leave it overnight charging and see what I come up with tomorrow. Sadly, when I paid $600 for it in February, I never expected to have to play "wait and see" with it...

HT4759 why was all my information in regard to active iCloud emails wiped out after last update????????? can't get anything to work! thanks a lot. can't send important docs now.

You mean your mail account settings are gone?
Put them back if that is all it is.

My contacts keep getting wiped out and i have to reset my origional settings. this has happened 6 times. they gave me a new phone and still happens!! now what?

I have had to reset all settings on my iphone 4 because my ablums and contacts keep getting wiped out. not all the contacts.. just the ones ive put in iin the last few months. this is irritating

Not possible.
The iPhone does not save contact information on the sim card.

Contact Ringtones & Photos getting wiped out during sync

I hope someone else has experienced this issue and can help me. I get on my iPhone 3G and assign ringtones and photos to my contacts, but the photos and ringtones don't "push" to MobileMe, so that every time I do a sync with iTunes for new music and videos, the photos and ringtones get wiped out and everything goes back to Default. I can go in and set Contact photos in MobileMe, but I have no way to set ringtones for those contacts there. Any suggestions?

I have the same problem with Entourage -- every time I sync, all of my specific iPhone info is lost: ringtone and photo specifically. In order to use Entourage, it has to be synced through Address Book and iCal. What a kludge this is! Unfortunately I haven't found a suitable workaround and I refuse to use Apple's horrible little Mail, Address Book and iCal apps in place of the rather elegant (dare I say this) Microsoft Entourage.

Just updated the latest Epson software printer update from Apple. Now all my prints look solarized. How do I get rid of the new update and go back to the perfect prints I had before? Help please.

I have tried the printer with my laptop (not updated) and everything is fine. It's just the beautiful 27" Imac that can no longer print.

Might be a corrupted printer preference file ...
Open the Finder. From the Finder menu bar click Go > Go to Folder
Type this exactly as you see it here:
~/Library/Preferences
Click Go
Move the com.apple.PrinterPrefs.plist file from the Preferences folder to the Trash.
Restart your Mac, restart the printer...

Pay no attention to iinami, the amount of replies to people saying their handsets must have been jailbroken everytime iTunes throws out an error is tremendous. (Clearly you don't need to have any real knowledge to get to level 3 on these forums, let's hope apple's geniuses know a lot more than some of their customers.)

Solution below.
Error 9
This error occurs when the device unexpectedly loses its USB connection with iTunes. This can occur if the device is manually disconnected during the restore process. This issue can be resolved by performing USB troubleshooting, using a different USB dock-connector cable, trying another USB port, restoring on another computer, or by eliminating conflicts from third-party security software.

Use the trackpad to scroll, thats what it was designed for. The scroll bars automatically disappear when not being used and will appear if you scroll up or down using the trackpad.
This is a user-to-user forum and most people will post on here if they have problems. You very rarely get people posting to say there update went smooth. The fact is the vast majority of Mountain Lion users will not be experiencing any major problems with the OS, or maybe with apps which are not compatible, but thats hardly Apple's fault if developers don't update their apps.

when trying to open itunes red x box opens with "new itunes library". No options provided

Sorry reply is only to say "ditto" except for iPod involvement. I can't repair iTunes, can't access it when in programs/features
Any other suggestions out there? I tried reinstall, no difference. Had latest version anyway. Only thing different I did the last time I was able to get into iTunes was listen to radio streams. ??????

Cannot see Cookies with new update of firefox. 
I recently updated firefox, but when I look on the PRIVACY window, where 
websites store cookies, I am no longer able to see any cookies that 
are being stored, and I am not able to delete the cookies as soon as I leave 
their site, as I had been doing for a long time prior to updating. 
So I am wondering where the heck are the cookies being stored now, with the 
new update? I like to be able to delete their cookies immediately, and 
I also wonder why firefox does not make it much easier for us to see 
all the cookies and delete them with one click, instead of having to 
use the <<TOOLS<<OPTIONS<<PRIVACY way of looking at and deleting cookies. 
The option to delete the cookies when firefox closes is not as efficient 
and I will get tracked until I close firefox, and I prefer to not be tracked 
so I like to just delete their cookies as soon as I am no longer using their 
site anymore.

An iPhone backup to a computer via iTunes stores the photos in a backup file that is only meant to be be used if needed to restore back to the phone. There is 3rd party "extractor" software available but otherwise the photos are not directly viewable.
The backup via iTunes was a good idea and your Camera Roll photos should be there and should be able to be restored to your new phone. However if it was me I wouldn't rely on that alone. I would also import the photos to a computer where you can see and verify that you have a copy. That is a good idea at any time (not just when you know you might need it). Any phone can be lost, broken, suffer hardware issues, etc at any time and lose all data on it. Following is a link with information on how to import the photos to a computer: Import photos and videos from your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch to your Mac or Windows PC - Apple Support

HT1386 how do I sync manually, with new update it doesn't show option?

How do I sync manually, with new update it doesn't show the option?

For iTunes>Help>iTunes Help>Sync you device>Setup syncing
Sync your device manually
If you use manual syncing, you can sync items from more than one iTunes library to your iPod. (You can sync iPod touch, iPhone, and iPad with only one iTunes library.)
You can manually sync music, movies, TV shows, podcasts, and iTunes U lessons. You can’t manually sync photos and info (contacts, calendars, bookmarks, and so on).
Connect your iPod, iPhone, or iPad to your computer and select your device.
Click the Summary button and select “Manually manage music and videos” (below Options).
Click the On This Device button.
Click Add To on the right side of the iTunes window.
Drag items from the left side of the iTunes window to the pane on the right. To add other types of content, choose a category from the Library pop-up menu.
Click Done.
If you use automatic syncing, you can also add items to your device by dragging. To drag items to an automatically synced device, follow the instructions above, but skip step 2.
The picture from the iTunes Help do not display.

Hi- My Iphone 5 wont charge using power cable or USB...I am using a genuine apple charger/cable..this started after I was prompted with new update for IOS 7 yesterday. My phone is dead and wouldnt power up ..have tried resetting using itunes but i doesnt detect the phone and..pressing sleep/home button doesnt do anything

Update
I guess that it just had a bad connecting port on the phone itself, no clue why it wouldn't work when plugged in both ways other than there is actually some differentiating between the two sides.
