License Agreement Screen Appears Every Time I Open iTunes

iTunes acts as if this is a brand new install every time the software opens. Viewing settings are no longer saved forcing me to reset the menu and sidebars. Playback is not seamless between CD tracks. I have uninstalled software and all related programs, re-installed all and continue with the same issues.

I am having the same issue since yesterday. Every time I launch itunes, the license agreement comes up.
I decided to upgrade to itunes 11.1.3 to see if the problem might go away, but the problem is still there.
I am on Windows 8.

License Agreement pop up every time I open iTunes

After I updated iTunes a few weeks ago and now everytime I opened iTunes the "License Agreement" window came up. I googled and copiede the iTunes file from the Local Disk C - Users - ... Roaming and pasted it on my desktop. Do i leave it there? And what can I do to avoid this?
Please help.

The same thing has been happening to me for a couple of days!
First, my library disappeared, but was able to recover it and now I cannot get rid of the licensing agreement and Welcome to Itunes no matter how many times I agree to it.

Registration form appears every time I open,

I re-intalled and reregistered my Photoshop CS2 according to instructions but the registration screen appears every time I open. How do I stop it

Hi,I need help
My question was answered with another question which I answered in the affirmative. then the forum showed that my problem was solved, not so. I deactivated and re activated my licensed cs2 as directed and the registration form re appears every time I open.
Adobe directed me to the forum for a solution to my problem because they no longer support cs2. ????
Thanks for hearing my problem

'iTunes Software Licence Agreement' every time I open iTunes

Since the most recent iTunes update, I'm getting the 'iTunes Software Licence Agreement' window every time I open iTunes (screenshot - http://img508.imageshack.us/img508/5265/68707078.png) -- to which I have to select 'agree' to access normally.
Why? And anyway to stop this?
Thanks in advance.

*Replying to Gareth L*
Though on my own account, its still comming up with the "set up" screens before it starts.. any other ideas i could try?
iTunes setup assistant runs every time you launch, user-account-specific issue ... I think your other set of iTunes preference files (in your normal user account) might be damaged, Gareth. (Have experimented with this on my XP PC ... rebuild one set and the license agreement runs, rebuild the other set and the iTunes Setup assistant runs. So damage to the 'other" set might be causing your relentless-setup-assistant thing.)
So, we'll try swapping out your other set of pref files. Here's Windows 7 instructions. Make a note of any custom preferences you have set up, because this procedure will return everything to default that wasn't returned to default by rebuilding the other set. You might also have to reinstall any third-party iTunes add-ons/plug-ins after doing this one, too.
Here's Windows 7 instructions for rebuilding "the other set" *(Step 10* contains the crucial difference from the license-agreement-problem instructions).
First, quit iTunes if you have it open.
Next, you'll need to make sure you are set up to view hidden files and folders in Vista (or 7).
1. From the Start menu, click Open.
2. In the Organize menu, click Folder and Search Options.
3. Click the View tab.
4. In the "Advanced settings" pane under "Hidden files and folders" make sure that the "Show hidden files and folders" option is selected.
5. Click OK.
Next, you'll remove the iTunes preference folder (and contained file).
6. In Computer, open Local Disk: C or whichever drive your documents are stored on.
7. Open the Users folder.
8. Open the folder with the name of the Vista (or 7) user account in which iTunes always shows the setup assistant in when launching.
9. Open the AppData folder.
10. Open the Roaming folder.
11. Open the Apple Computer folder.
12. Drag the iTunes folder out onto the Desktop.
Now you'll rebuild the preference folder and file.
13. Launch iTunes. This will cause iTunes to rebuild that preference folder and file. *The setup assistant will appear for you again.* (That is expected behavior when that particular preference folder and contained file are being rebuilt.)
14. Now quit iTunes and launch iTunes again. If the preference folder and contained file have been successfully rebuilt, the setup assistant should not appear this time.
... any luck with that?

Every time I open iTunes I have to agree to the licence . . . . and MORE!

Windows 7 64 bit / iTunes 11.0.4.4
Every time I open iTunes, I have to perform the following repetitive steps;
-Accept the license agreement
-Click Agree on the Welcome Screen
-Decline the default player offer even though I have checked the "do not show" box
-Select "Show Menu Bar"
-Select "Show Side Bar"
This is getting real tiresome. Help in resolving this issue appreciated - IM

I found the solution and copy/pasted the stept to take. I got it from another subject related to the problem on this thread and it works for me.

yep, let's investigate the preference files possibility. First, quit iTunes and log back into your usual user account. Next, we'll have to set your PC up to view hidden files and folders. From the Start menu, click Open.
In the Organize menu, click Folder and Search Options.
Click the View tab.
In the "Advanced settings" pane under "Hidden files and folders" make sure that the "Show hidden files and folders" option is selected.
Click OK. Now, in Computer, open "Local Disk C:".
Open the "Users" folder.
Open the folder with the name of your usual user account.
Open the "AppData" folder.
Open the "Local" folder.
Open the "Apple Computer" folder. Drag the "iTunes" folder you see in there out onto the Desktop. Now launch iTunes. (This will cause iTunes to rebuild that set of preference files.) *The license agreement will appear for you again.* (That is expected behavior when that particular set of preference files is being rebuilt.)

Registration window appears every time I open InDesign...and it's already registered

After a recent computer crash, I reloaded ID CS2 on a new system and even though it's been successfully activated and registered, the registration window is appearing every time I open InDesign. I received an e-mail from Adobe thanking me for registering, including the special "offer" I can now take advantage of...so I know it's registered.
How can I stop that registration window from appearing every time I open InDesign?

Bob,
Can you be a bit more specific?
My Registration Window just recently started popping up, too, even though it's been registered -- and registered -- several times.
I went to:
- Control Panel, then selected
- Security Center, then selected
- "Change the way Security Center alerts me"
I'm presented with three options:
1. Yes, notify me and display the icon (recommended);
2. Don't notify me, but display the icon; and
3. Don't notify me and don't display the icon (not recommended).
So, which choice would still keep my system protected, but get rid of the irritating Registration Window from popping up each time I start Adobe?
Thanks.

Sign in required and Adobe Software License Agreement screens appear

Hi
Everytime I launch the Adove CC Software (Indesign, Photoshop, Illustrator....) I have to sign in and then the Adobe Software License Agreement screen appears. Are these two screens supposed to appear everytime I launch the software (it didn't used to do this). It's very frustrating. Any help would be welcome.

How to stop an "Add-ons Manager" tab that keeps appearing every time I open a new web page ?

Does anyone know how to stop a Firefox "Add-ons Manager" tab that keeps appearing every time I open a new web page ?
Thanks....

Solved it shortly afterwards thanks as I realised it must have happened when I refreshed Firefox, so went through the process again and found the boxes for tabs already pre-ticked so cancelled them. Would have been a lot easier though had it been left as an option to tick as I assumed it was another safeguard leaving me with no idea what had happened....
Anyway thanks :-)

I have a movie site app banner ad that I cannot delete from my IPhone 5 Safari page. I appears every time I open Safari. Any suggestions.

I have a movie site banner ad that I cannot delete from my IPhone 5 Safari page. It appears every time I open Safari. How can I delete it?

You do not have a virus. Sounds like you are just being bitten by Safari's desire to reopen all windows - and reconnect to all sites that were open in those windows - in Mac OS X 10.7. I believe that if you hold down option (or is it shift?) while opening Safari that it will not try to reload those pages.
Regarding malware, see my Mac Malware Guide:

Checks gapless playback on one album every time I open iTunes

I bought an album on the iTunes music store.
Every time I open iTunes, it checks this one album for gapless playback. Every Time! I've tried deleting it from the library and adding it again, but that doesn't help.
What's weird though, is that we have 2 MBP's, each with their own iTunes library. But we share the files on a networked hard drive. This only happens on my computer, not the other one.
Any suggestions?

Please check you system if it is free of Malware. But you have to do it in WIndows Safe Mode.
Start your computer in "Safe mode with networking", go to CNET's download.com to download a free version of Malwarebyte. Install and perform update immediately, then do a full SCAN. Remove malware if it indeed finds any. Restart computer to regular windows to let Malwarebyte complete the removal.
To start your computer in safe mode
press and hold the F8 key. You need to press F8 before the Windows logo appears. If the Windows logo appears, you'll need to try again.
On the Advanced Boot Options screen, use the arrow keys to highlight the "safe mode with networking" option, and then press Enter.
Log on to your computer with a user account that has administrator rights.
When your computer is in safe mode, you'll see the words Safe Mode in the corners of your screen. To exit safe mode, restart your computer and let Windows start normally.

Apple: Give me a way to stop TV downloads on iTunes, or I stop buying shows on my AppleTV. That simple. I'm tired of automatic downloads filling my hard drive every time I open iTunes on my laptop.

I'm tired of automatic downloads filling my hard drive every time I open iTunes on my laptop. Tonight I had to go to iTunes to verify my payment info - even though I'd already done that two days ago - and before I can even access the iTunes Store, iTunes starts downloading 44 TV shows that I've purchased over the last few months on my AppleTV; before I could completely stop it, it had entirely filled up my hard drive - 180 GB. There's NO reason there isn't a way to stop auto-downloads of TV shows - every other type of media has the ability to stop auto-downloads, and given that I have an AppleTV (for now!), why in pasta's name would I want to load them onto my laptop?!

HT204406 Does iTunes match have to look for all music on my computer and send that data to and from Apple every time I open iTunes? This frequently makes iTunes crash before I even get to listen to one song. Installing the latest version of iTunes does no

Does iTunes have to check all my music for match every time I open iTunes even when nothing has changed in the music folder? This is just one problem I have with iTunes and match. Every time I open iTunes, the first thing happening is iTunes checking my music and sending the information to Apple and then waiting for Apple to send back information about match. There is a third step that I have never seen iTunes actually reach as it always crashes before finishing this ritual with my music and match. Since I paid for match I can no longer use iTunes to listen to any of my music. I like having match function on my iPhone because even 128 GB is not enough space to keep a music library and everything else needed on the iPhone. But it's been a disaster with iTunes on my Windows 7 PC. I updated iTunes recently and the same problem continues. I can't find any clear description of how match works but it seems if there has been no change to the music folder then the tedious and buggy process of checking all music for match and sending data back and forth to Apple every time iTunes is used should not be necessary. Is there possibly something I have to change settings for to help iTunes start without so much to do?

If your library was working on your computer and then popped up empty all of a sudden then this might be what you need...
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. 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!

HT1349 I don't have an Apple product. I accidentally signed up for iCloud because I thought I could use it with my iTunes on my PC. Now it won't go away. I have deleted the software but every time I open iTunes it demands I reopen my iCloud session. Help.

I want to get rid of iCloud. I do not currently have an Apple product but thought I could use it with iTunes and my PC. I have deleted the software. I told iTunes to take it off my account, but every time I open iTunes there it is again, asking me to log into iCloud. I can't get Apple support because I don't have an Apple product. I don't know how to get rid of this!

This is for a Mac, but may be similar for a PC.

Keep getting multiple song files every time I open ITunes

Argh. Every time I open ITunes I have two or three of the same song in my Library. What's worse, when I plug in my Ipod, I end up with two or three copies of the same song on my Ipod as well.
Help!
Much thanks,
Jhawk

McAfee AntiVirus by any chance? See the thread Why does iTunes delete my itunesprefs.xml?
Or it could be an issue with the SC Info folder. See TS1277 - iTunes: Missing folder or incorrect permissions may prevent authorization for details.
