ITunes update removes quicklaunch icons and creates new folder each time
Everytime I install an iTunes update, it removes my quicklaunch icon and creates a new start menu folder. I keep the iTunes start menu folder in a 'Media' subfolder (to keep things organized), but each time I update iTunes on each of my computers it creates a new iTunes folder in the main start menu. Any way to make it stop doing this? Since I work on multiple machines, it can be really irritating to have to redo icons and move folders each time.
Working on PCs (Dell work laptops) running Windows 7.
Thanks!
Unfortunately it won't go into disk mode. Even tried the "put your ipod on a flat surface" trick. I'm wondering if the battery hasn't stopped holding a charge. But it seems the symptoms would be more like a constant battery icon. Instead I'm getting the sad face everytime I try to put it in disk mode or reset. Ideas? Throw ipod against wall? Blow on it like old-school Nintendo cartridges?
Oh, and yes, it is Windows formatted.
Any and all help would be appreciated.

Trackpad mouse moving on its own and creating new folder on desktop
This stared a few weeksd ago, I've lost control of my macbook pro as my mouse has a mind of its own.
The laptop barely(or even not at all) responds to my control. It's like there was somebody else controlling my mouse, my keyboard works fine however. The guy hacking me looked at my mailbox, dropped a few things from the dock, made a new folder on the desktop and opened my photos. I've tried everything including turning off wi-if, my reuter and under "system preferences" unclicked "sharing" of anything. I also took it to the genius bar to have my laptop wiped and updated to OS X Mountain Lion.
Last week, my mouse again started to move on its own and created a new folder on my destop.
I don't know if anyone has the same experience...and if so, please let me know what is going on and is there a solution?
Thank youWoah, I just got this really sketchy email a few hours later. It's a bounce back from an invalid address, but it includes the previous few messages too... these guys are definitely speaking in some sort of code.
I pasted it on this google doc for your inspection, pretty crazy. Do you think it could be related to this cursor moving incident? Did I get remotely hacked or something?

Why does iTunes move my music files and create new albums?
I'm running iTunes 11.4 on my iMac running Mavericks 10.9.4. My iTunes library is stored on a WD MyBookLive NAS.
I've not had any problems with this set up until today. When I double clicked on a song it moved it completely into another album, gave the file the wrong name but still played the right music, it had also changed the file information to match the wrong folder. When I re-added it to iTunes it put it back into the wrong album!
I have also seen it move songs as I double click them to play from one album to a new album of the same name but the artist name goes from 'Soupdragons' to 'The Soupdragons' Both these folders then exist on my NAS. This is crazy, what is happening? Fortunately these errors have happened to old music that I have the CD's for so I can easily rectify it, but any help as to why it's happening would be great.
Thanks TimGo to iTunes > Preferences > Store and turn off
Show iTunes in the Cloud purchases
Share details about your library with Apple
On any iOS device go to Settings > Music and turn off
Show All Music
Close and reopen iTunes and/or reset the device and you should see your version of the metadata for each track rather than the original store data.

How to add one button at top of table that creates new rows each time a user clicks on it?
In the help guide, there is an example of adding buttons to each row - an Add Row and Delete Row button. I am interested in having one button at the top of the table that can add rows.
Hi,
You can create a table with a header row, where you can place your add button in one of its cells.
Then you need a script to create a new row in the buttons click event. In a table named 'Table1' with a row named 'Row1' it looks this way:
Table1._Row1.addInstance() -
Create new folder with name of file?
I am generating about 20 files from a 3d model. I open the model let's say the name is "delorean" then I want to create a new folder with all the generated files. I'm using a watch me Do to generate the files. The watch me do will save them in whatever folder I specify ahead of time. Should I just specify new folder each time, then rename it with the file name afterwards? If so how do I get the original file name so that I can use it to rename the file. Is there an example of doing something like this somewhere?
Thanks.
This forum is great.
DanI am going to guess that you start off with a single file - what are you doing to generate these files? My *Get Names of Finder Items* action can get a name to use in the *New Folder* action - items passed to the New Folder action will get copied to it, so a little more detail may help in creating the workflow.
The *Dispense Items Incrementally* action can also be used to dole out the items one at a time - knowing what the workflow is doing would help with the use of this action as well. -
I have a new email address. Changed this on my itunes account. On iPhone deleted old icloud account and created new with new email. I have set find my phone to on. When I download music from itunes it no longer goes to icloud an does not show up on my iphone.
I have the same problem - it is maddening. I rely on this iPad for work so this is not just an annoyance! The above solutions of changing the appleid on the device or on the website do not work.
The old email address no longer exists - I haven't used it in a year probably and I no longer have the account. I logged into the appleid website and there is no trace of the old email address so there is nothing that can be deleted or changed there. On the iPad there is no trace of the old email address so nothing can be deleted there either. I have updated the iPad software and the same problem comes right back. Every 2 seconds I am asked to log in using the old non-existent email. The device is currently useless.
The only recent change to anything was the addition of an Apple TV device, which was set up using the correct login and password.
Does anyone have any ideas? The iPad has been backed up to the iCloud so presumably it now won't recognize the current iCloud account? So restoring may notbe an option? -
I get error message -42408 when trying to download itunes update 11.0.2 and I therefore can not update to that latest version. What can I do?
Hey there davidgor2!
I have found an article that should help you resolve this issue with updating your iTunes. The article can be found here:
iTunes: Advanced iTunes Store troubleshooting
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3297
and the specific part of the article you will want to look at first is right here:
"Error 42023" through "Error 42408"
These alerts might occur when trying to authorize iTunes or during launch when iTunes checks for authorization information.
Install the latest iTunes from apple.com/itunes/download/
Remove the SC Info folder.
If that does not resolve the issue, see iTunes: "Error 42408" or "Error 42404" after upgrading to iTunes 9.0.3.
Thanks for using the Apple Support Communities!

hello i purchased a movie recently and it shows in my Itunes library but will not transfer to my ipod. It has the Icloud icon in the top right hand corner of the cover and if i click on play it starts to download from Icloud again and it does this each time i wish to play it, the same now happens to all my purcased movies which of course uses additional ISP download allowance. Before the recent update and lay out of Itunes this didn't happen i just purchased a movie and downloaded it then synced it to my ipod and enjoyed it. But now this latest movie purchase will not download to my ipod. I have sent the problem to Itumes and if there is answer i havent received it. Appreciate any advice
regards johnHello hotsone,
You may need to download a lower resolution version of the movie in order for it to sync to your iPod.

HT201210 Itunes update failed to install and now Itunes won't run
Itunes update failed to install and now Itunes won't run
Go to Control Panel > Add or Remove Programs (Win XP) or Programs and Features(Later)
Remove all of these items in the following order:
iTunes
Apple Software Update
Apple Mobile Device Support
Bonjour
Apple Application Support
Reboot, download iTunes, then reinstall, either using an account with administrative rights, or right-clicking the downloaded installer and selecting Run as Administrator.
See also HT1925: Removing and Reinstalling iTunes for Windows XP or HT1923: Removing and reinstalling iTunes for Windows Vista, Windows 7, or Windows 8
Should you get the error iTunes.exe - Entry Point Not Found after the above reinstall then copy QTMovieWin.dll from:
C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Apple\Apple Application Support
and paste into:
C:\Program Files (x86)\iTunes
The above paths would be for a 64-bit machine. Hopefully the same fix with the " (x86)" omitted would work on 32-bit systems with the same error.

Ever since the last iTunes update, my cloud movies and TV purchases all vanished from my iTunes library. I go to Settings>Store>Show Cloud Purchases, but Show Cloud Purchases isn't there. So, I go to the store, then click on purchases, and I download anything from my iTunes account. Now, I go to Settings>Store>Show Cloud Purchases, and it is back. I check the box, and my cloud purchases are again back in iTunes.
OK, I wouldn't bother posting this, but a day or so later, it all happens again. Cloud purchases gone, no option to fix in the Settings>Store menu until I go to the store and download something again.
How do I get iTunes for Windows to keep showing my cloud purchases without having to do this silly work-around every day or two?Audiobooks are not avaiable for redownload from iTunes, though I suspect you may find they are still on your computer even if not currently listed in your library. This may help...
Empty/corrupt library after upgrade/crash
Hopefully it's not been too long since you last upgraded iTunes, in fact if you get an empty/incomplete library immediately after upgrading then with the following steps you shouldn't lose a thing or need to do any further housekeeping. Note that in iTunes 11 an "empty" library may show your past purchases with links to stream or download them.
In the Previous iTunes Libraries folder should be a number of dated iTunes Library files. Take the most recent of these and copy it into the iTunes folder. Rename iTunes Library.itl as iTunes Library (Corrupt).itl and then rename the restored file as iTunes Library.itl. Start iTunes. Should all be good, bar any recent additions to or deletions from your library.
See iTunes Folder Watch for a tool to catch up with any changes since the backup file was created.
When you get it all working make a backup!
Should you be in the unfortunate position where you are no longer able to access your original library, or a backup of it, then see Recover your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device.
Would you mind telling me which anti-virus package you use? It may be that it is disturbing iTunes when it tries to write out the fresh database, as it does after almost any activity with your library. I'm noticing more of this type of problem than usual and trying to see if there is any pattern. It may help to prevent a repeat of the problem if you look at the advanced options for your AV package and see if you can find a way to exclude the iTunes folder from any real-time scanning process.

I had used Iphone4 to update to ios 7.0.4(11B554a) but after update whenever I want to create new contact, I can't type in the word because the keypad don't appear, what should I do? Can I uninstall the update of ios 7.0.4?
You cannot uninstall the update. Apple does not support downgrading. What troubleshooting have you done? Start with a reset. Hold the sleep/wake and home buttons together until you see the Apple logo and then release. The phone will reboot. Are you syncing contacts with iCloud?

My child wants her own Apple ID for her phone and mac book. Not sure of steps to disable and create new account while transferring photos etc. thoughts ?
Welcome to the Apple Community.
Unfortunately, if Apple simply allowed people to log into different accounts and download content, everyone would be using everyone could share everyone else's content and bypass the need to purchase anything. To protect against this, they limit you to logging into a new account to once every 90 days.
If two or more of you, have different accounts and use only one computer, you should each have your own user account on the computer, to avoid the need to log in and out of iTunes. -
What is the diffrence between extends and creating new object?
HI ALL,
what is the diffrence between extends and creating new object?
meaning
class base{
class derived extends base{
class base{
class derived {
derived(){
base var = new base();
can u people tell me diffence from the above examples.
THANKS.
ANANDAWhen you create a new object you have to supply the class to which that
object belongs. A class can extend from another class. If it does so
explicitly you can define the 'parent' class from which the class extends.
If you don't explicitly mention anything, the class will implicitly extend
from the absolute base class named 'Object'.
Your example is a bit convoluted: when you create a Derived object,
its constructor creates another object, i.e. an object from the class from
which the Derived class extends.
Extending from a class and creating an object don't have much in common.
kind regards,
Jos
