ITunes won't stay where I put it

Normally I run iTunes in "minimized" mode (press the "+" button) and toss it all the way at the bottom left of my screen. It fits nicely right next to the dock so I always have it visible in a usually useless area of the screen.
In the past, it would occasionally jump vertically to be above the dock, typically if I opened other "iApps" or used a full screen game, but it would stay close to where I left it and I'd just need to drag it back down. Pressing the "+" button would have it end up where it belonged or just vertical of that spot.
Recently, the last 4-5 days or so, iTunes has decided it doesn't like that corner and more often than not "minimizes" to the exact center of the screen.
There's no pattern to it, just sometimes it stays where it belongs, other times it's right in the center.

My iTunes (8.0.2) recently started centering itself whenever I tried to move or resize it. Quitting and restarting the program seems to have fixed it for now.

  • Columns in Finder windows won't stay where I put them!

    WHen I open a finder window, put in LIST VIEW, then re-size my columns - everything is good now I can do stuff. BUT WAIT! I do one thing: dragging one folder and nesting it into another and BAM! The columns re-size back to the default. This is a deal-killer for me. I cannot work like this! If there is no fix, SOrry, but goodbye apple and hello Windows.

    Open window is a folder named "Photos".
    It contains many sub folders: Backyard photos, front yard photos, vacation photos, etc.
    It also contains a ton of image files - that I'm sorting into their respective folders.
    When I drag an image file titled "Backyard sunny" into the sub-folder "Backyard photos"... the columns all snap back to their default settings. FORCING ME TO RESIZE THEM.... then I drag another photo into another folder and the same thing happens again. THIS IS A SHUTDOWN OF MY USING MAC OS. I either need to return to Mavericks, or this needs to be fixed somehow. This never happened before, and it won't happen in the future, not on my desktop. I'd hate to start asking my wife to start teaching me windows. I've been a mac person my whole computing life (since the early 1990's) and never have I run into a show-stopper like this.
    My computer is NON-FUNCTIONAL if the columns won't stay where I put them!

  • Adblock Plus icon won't stay where I put it

    I have a customized toolbar with Toothless How to Train Your Dragon skin. After the address bar I have a TON of spaces, ok maybe not too many, but enough to keep the bar relatively small, but the Adblock Plus icon keeps reappearing to the far right side of all the "spaces" I have inserted. I keep customizing the toolbar and dragging it back to the left near the address bar and clicking the "done" button. Next time I reopen FF the icon is back on the right again, right on top of the graphic/skin.

  • Clips won't stay where I put them!

    I am building an informational video with some animated sequences and I am recording my voice over the video. At times, I want to edit/replace clips that occur early in the timeline with new clips without disturbing the positions of clips to the right on the timeline. As I begin to add, remove or change earlier clips, all the other clips to the right will shift back and forth becoming unsynced with the audio and ruin a lot of hard work.

    Hi HB
    Yes thats the way it works. If You exchange a clip You have to replace it with
    one with exactly the same no: of min.sec.frames or everything goes bananas.
    If You need to work in that order You probably should take a look at FinalCut
    Express or Pro - and consider the cost.
    In FCE/P You can place video and sound to a specific time place in Your project.
    In iMovie this is really hard and disipline demanding.
    Locking video to time isn't something existing in iMovie yet - may be never.

  • My ipod touch was submerged in water and now it is telling me to connect to itunes, but itunes won't connect until i put the passcode in my ipod, and i can't do anything with my ipod until it connects. what should i do?

    my ipod touch was submerged in water and now it is telling me to connect to itunes, but itunes won't connect until i put in the passcode, and i can't do anything to my ipod until it connects to itunes. so, basically i can't do anything from the ipod or to it from the computor. what should i do?

    Restore...
    From iTunes, select the iPad/iPod and then select the Summary tab.  Follow directions for Restore and be sure to say "yes" to the backup.  You will be warned that all data (apps, music, movies, etc.) will be erased but, as the Restore finishes, you will be asked if you wish the contents of the backup to be copied to the iPad/iPod.
    There's more to try but let's go a bit at a time.

    In that case, there may be a problem with your Finder preferences or window settings.
    Try removing these files, then restarting:
    ~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.finder.plist
    ~/Desktop/.DS_Store
    Let me know if you're not sure how to do that.

  • CS 6 Image Windows Don't Stay Where I Put Them

    I installed CS 6 yesterday.  My system runs 64 bit Win 7.  In Preferences > Interface, as I did in CS 5, I unchecked both Open Documents as Tabs and Enable Floating Document Window.  However, unlike CS 5, in CS 6 images 'insist' on positioning themselves in the upper left corner of CS 6 and will cover both the options bar and the tool bar.  For example, this will happen after opening an image if I try to move it or if I enlarge the image window (CTRL-0).  If I open two images and try to move one so I can see both at the same time, the one I try to move will not stay where I put it but instead will reposition itself to the upper left, and cover the options bar and menu bar.
    As you might image, this makes working in CS 6 difficult and inconvenient.  I assume this is a bug, and wonder if there are any workarounds or other solutions.  To this point, I have not yet uninstalled and re-installed CS 6.  Any suggestions would be appreciated.
    Best regards,
    David

    Can we assume you hate the Auto-Hide feature even worse? 
    Hi,
    The answer to your question is 'probably'.  I like things to stay put, ideally where I want them.  So far my feeling is that having the task bar on the bottom is the lesser of the two 'evils'.  But your note reminds me to give auto-hide another try.  Thanks.
    Best,

  • How can I stop Lion tidying my desktop and putting all my icons in alphabetical order. I like my files to stay where I put them!

    How can I stop Lion tidying my desktop and putting all my icons in alphabetical order. I like my files to stay where I put them! Every morning I boot up and all my desktop items have been moved. How can I stop this?
    By the way - Lion is the worst 'upgrade' ever.

    Hello again:
    I've been to 'view' - and all I can see are the same options as before. Nothing which says the equivalent of 'stop Lion tidying my desktop alphabetically every time I boot up' - alas.
    Hmmm.  Try something:
    Trash a preference file (com.apple.finder.plist) and restart.  Then go to the view option while in Finder.  There should be a "show view options."  Select that and sort by "none."
    FWIW, I have had no discernable change in speed under OS X 10.7, but that is just my system.  I only use Adobe's free stuff.  Have you checked with Adobe to see if there are updates available?  I rarely use text edit so I have no benchmark.  I don't like the missing save as either  
    Barry
    P.S.  I am not being contrary - I just like to learn from the experiences of others. 

  • My Itunes Won't Stay Minimized In Windows Vista

    My Itunes won't stay minimized. I will minimize it and then it will pop back up, i don't know if this issue has been addressed before but its driving me insane. what do i do?
    Message was edited by: stop-doogle-time

    I have the same problem. This problem has shown up and gone away many times over the last couple of years. Its the main reason that I rarely use iTunes.
    Have you found a solution? I'm tired of buying MP3s from iTunes and playing them in Windows Media Player

  • Desktop icons disappear. won't stay where i drop them, and disappear if i try to put them in a folder.

    Recently noticed several icons on my desktop had disappeared.... found them in applications and documents folder, but they should be living on my desktop and I didn't move them. This keeps happening... I wake up my computer, quite randomly it seems, a file will have disappeared.
    At the same time I noticed several files on my desktop had moved themselves all the way to the top of the screen, just the very bottom lip of the file names were visible. Clean Up had no effect on these files.
    On top of that, no icon will stay where I drop it. I can pick up and drag the icon, but as soon as I drop it, it flies to some random spot on the screen.
    Finally, i can move a desktop file inside any folder. if I try it the file just disappears.
    I'm assuming all these problems are related and I'm hoping someone has a suggestion of what I can do to correct it. thanks.

    Click on the desktop and check Finder > View > Show view options.
    Sort by.. snap to grid will have the files flying around..
    Disappearing files in folders no idea except I have always been advised not too have too many items in the desktop folder.. (The desktop is actually a folder, see finder)

  • Contacts photos won't stay where you set the pic

    Hey I'm on a iPhone 6 plus ios8 and every time I set a contact photo to a specific place on the photo and hit done the circle always centers itself on the photo when save and won't stay on the part of the photo I choose. Does anyone have a fix or any input on this??? Would definitsly appr it.

    Thanks for the idea John, but no go. I was talking about the iPhoto Trash. I moved the photos I wanted to delete there and then emptied the Trash.
    Per your suggestion I moved the "com.apple.iPhoto.plist" from Preferences to Mac Trash (didn't empty Mac Trash because I was afraid I would lose the entire Library). When I copied the album to a new folder on my hard drive the photo I thought I had deleted re appeared. I put "com.apple.iPhoto.plist" back into Preferences just to play it safe.
    Any other ideas on where the little buggers might be hiding and how I can get rid of them?

  • Itunes won't stay open.

    I recently just updated my Macbook Pro (older version from 2010, 10.6.8), including Itunes. Now I tunes won't stay open. Whenever I click on the icon to start It flashes open but then closes immediately. I recently had my hard drive wiped because of a problem so if that could be a contributing factor I don't know. Itunes was working fine before the update.

  • Why won't my anchor stay where I put it? It keeps shifting up or down away from the line I want to connect to.

    Can't seem to fix it. It's not a grid issue, I've tried that. The anchor at the end of this line I'm trying to intersect with a box refuses to match up evenly, despite illustrator telling my that the anchor intersects the box. It looks fine until I zoom in and see that the anchor is always being pushed higher or lower than the perpendicular line. No matter what I do the line refuses to co-operate. Even deleting the file and trying it on a new file doesn't work.

    Is Align-To-Pixel-Grid on in the files in question? What version of AI and OS are you using? What New Document Profile did you start from?

  • ITunes won't stay authorized...

    Not sure when this started but everytime now I open iTunes and try to play a song, watch a movie or listen to an audiobook, I get the "This computer is not authorized" message. I put in my username and password and then I get "You have authorized 3 out of 5 computers" and then everything will work. The problem is that iTunes will stay authorized until I reboot or start the computer, then open iTunes again. Sure enought, I get the same "not authorized" followed by the "authorized 3 out of 5 computers" message. Then I'm good to go...until I reboot or start my computer after it's been shutdown.
    I've tried every step in this article multiple times, and it hasn't helped...http://support.apple.com/kb/ts1389
    There is only one account on my computer and it's the admin account. I'm authorizing using my correct iTunes account name and password. Tried turning off and then on, user accouts and have deleted the SC folder...doesn't help at all...Like I said, it seems like I can authorize fine but as soon as I reboot or start my computer and then open iTunes, I'm told it's not authorized again.
    Any ideas on how I can keep iTunes authorized? Running Windows 7, 64 bit on a Dell 9100 desktop...
    Thanks,
    Al

  • Itunes Won't Stay connected Keep

    I keep trying to connect to Itune's and it keep saying to check my internet connection.  I know my internet works so what is going on?

    Well, it looks like it's being caused by SSID not being broadcast. As long as I have it broadcasting, all is well, as soon as I disable this, it won't connect after a restart.
    This is my second iTouch, the first one had a bunch of dust appear under the glass and the Apple store replaced it no qualms, couldn't be happier My first iTouch didn't act this way and was running the previous version of software. It wasn't until i got a new unit and updated to this version that the issue started.
    I have 2 other iTouch's in the home with the older software and they don't have any issues with SSID not being broadcasted.
    Any additional thoughts?
