Opening itunes when windows starts

Hi, I was wondering how i get iTunes to automatically start in my system tray when I log onto my screename?

go "Start > all programs > Startup", and right-click that startup entry to open the Startup window.
now head into C:\Program files\itunes\ (or wherever it is that your itunes program files are stored), right-click on your itunes.exe (application) file, and select "Create shortcut". rename the new shortcut as you please.
now drag that shortcut into the Startup window you opened earlier.
itunes should now launch when you log in to your user account.
(if your security software also runs when you log into your account, like my NIS 2007 does, that might make your initial startup times in that account even longer, though. depends on how big a system-performance hit your PC takes when your security software launches.)

  • I updated to iTunes 11 on my Windows PC. Since the update, when I open iTunes its window is too large for my screen. Resizing is a pain, because I have to change my screen resolution. And when I restart iTunes,it has reverted back to being too large.Help!

    I recently updated to iTunes 11 on my Windows PC. Since the update, each time I open iTunes its window is too large for my screen. Resizing it is a pain, because I have to change my screen resolution. And then when I restart iTunes, it has reverted back to being too large. Please help!

    Having the same issue here....a quick fix is to just minimize the window, and immediately maximize it.  It will now fit the screen.  Trouble is, after you close it, you'll have to do it again when you re-start itunes.  The good news is it takes all of about 2 seconds.  Apple should fix this.  Should.

  • TS3716 I have an iPod nano (3rd generation). I've recently dowloaded iCloud. So now when I open iTunes the window is entirely different. And I don't have the previous menu options. I have downloaded audiobooks for years. Is it not supported by iOS5?

    You could try downloading and installing 7-Zip (free) and downloading a fresh copy of the iTunes installer, unpack the installer into its components using 7-Zip then try a standalone install of AppleApplicationSupport. It may still fail to install but if so you may get useful error messages as to why not.

    Download iTunes 11 from the Apple site and reinstall. The error message was quite plain in telling you what to do to resolve the error.

  • Possible iOS 5 bug - "Open iTunes when this iPod is connected" using 200 MB

    A strange bug with either iOS 5 or iTunes 10.5 that does not look like it was discussed - I couldn't pull anything up in a search.
    I've noticed that ever since upgrading to iOS 5, the amount of free space on my iPod Touch (3rd G) reported both in iTunes and on the iPod itself decreased by about 2 GB compared to what I had had free under iOS 4.3.
    Originally I attributed it to the fact that iOS 5 happened to be larger in size, until I noticed that I gained about 200 MB by unchecking the "Open iTunes when..." option.  See the following two screenshots:
    The strange part is that the "missing" 200 MB is somehow attributed to "Audio" - also notice the difference in reported Audio size between the two images.
    As a comparison, my iPad is still running iOS 4.3.5.  I checked and unchecked that option in iTunes when the iPad was connected, and there was no change in reported capacity whatsoever.
    Does anyone have an idea as to what the cause of this may be?  Has anyone else experienced this and/or submitted a bug report to Apple software engineers?
    Thanks,
    Steve

    iTunes freezes to the point that I must CtrlAltDel to exit it. It never did this before, but recently it has started doing this. I've had it for 13 months, so no warranty.
    I have tried it in iTunes 7.5 on windows Vista and in iTunes 7.4 on Windows XP. Same issue either way.
    Thanks for your prompt reply!

  • Summary Options Open iTunes when iPod is Connected

    Open iTunes when this iPod is connected
    is grayed out under iTunes Summary Options.
    Anyone know why? how to enable? is it the result of some other preference?
    Some file I need to delete?
    Running Windows 7 64-bit
    iOS 4.3.5
    iPod Touch 4G 32GB
    Just did a full uninstall of all Apple software (manually also as described in tech note).
    Can't find anything else, other than I can't seem to upgrade to iOS 5; one app (NewYorkTimes) refuses to be moved and does not show on left column of iPod apps (but does show in the Apps purchased). I've reinstalled directly to iPod but can't figure what is corrupt.
    #2: high res photos and tells me I need to synch photos
    I just had two hours with frozen system and cancelled the Sync on the iPod and shutdown/power off the PC. It showed what looked like 99.99% download and install process.
    There is 779,856k file
    C:\Users\______\AppData\Roaming\Apple Computer\iTunes\iPod Software Updates
    Very frustrated and confused, still....

    The only clue I have is when I go to Device Manager  I see an error for device;
    If I go to Devices and Printers control panel, other USB devices, it finds a problem with iPod.
    Thanks to all.
    So the error "this device cannot start (Code 10)" and the error mesages about the hardware leave me thinking Apple's device driver support is at fault and is an issue if not THE issue in all this.

  • Cannot enable "open itunes when this ipod is connected" with brand new nano

    I just purchased a new 16GB 4G nano, and iTunes will not enable the check box for "open itunes when this ipod is connected". It is not greyed-out, but when I select it (check the box), iTunes un-checks the box upon the next sync.
    Why won't iTunes allow me to enable "open itunes when this ipod is connected"? I have tried all combinations of check boxes, but to no avail.
    Please help!

    I found my answer whenever the question was posted and started checking the "More Like This" items.  I swear I tried to search and find an answer before posting my question but got back some non-sensical results.  However, the answer was found in an archived thread "
    When I connect my iPod Touch, why won't iTunes 9.2 open automatically?
    and the answer was to unclick the auto open option, shut down iTunes and restart, then click the option back on. The iTunes Help message window appears asking if I was sure I wanted to do this (Of Course!) and it seems to have addressed the problem!!

  • HT5318 cannot open itunes on windows 7 64 bit

    I am no longer able to open iTunes on windows 7 64 bit.  Have tried "repair" option and remove and redownload.

    I am trying to understand the exact sequence of events here:
    Firstly the iTunes installer includes Quicktime and you should not have to install it separately.
    You downloaded the 32 bit iTunes installer: iTunesSetup.exe.
    Normally the correct version should be downloaded automatically so that shouldn't have happened.
    When you tried to run it, did it warn you that you had the wrong version and stop without installing anything?
    Then you downloaded iTunes64Setup.exe
    What happened when you tried to run that, did you get any error messages? If so give the full text.
    What iTunes related programs do you actually have installed, if any?
    Check in Programs on the Control Panel.
    The following link on uninstalling iTunes lists the programs you need to look for.

    I don't know what happened. All of a sudden, my settings have been changed, my homepage, and EVERYTHING. No matter how many times I go in and change them again, the SAME pages open up when I start FireFox and I am constantly being asked if I want Yahoo as my start page and default search engine. I click the box 'do not ask me again' and it comes up EVERY TIME. I change things like I don't want history remembered, and when I reload FireFox again, it's back to the way it was BEFORE. EVERY SINGLE TIME. I don't know why this is happening, or how to fix it. What do I do??

    I do not want to download another virus program.. I do not believe it is a virus. I am running the full version of Norton 360 and it is doing a daily scan. I have Windows 7, 64 bit OS.
    This is very irritating !! If I wanted Yahoo I would ask for it !

  • After I install Itunes 10.5.2 and open itunes a window opens stating another program is not allowing itunes to burn cd's. Next, I get an error window stating itunes 42404 is missing. I've uninstalled itunes 3 times and re-installed. No luck.

    After I install iTunes 10.5.2 and open iTunes a window opens stating "The registry settings used by the iTunes drivers for importing and CD's and DVD's are missing. This can happen as a result of installing other CD burning software. Please reinstall iTunes." This happens everytime.
    After that on one occasion a window stated "Itunes msi) was missing. Upon uninstalling and reinstalling that disapeared. Now I get a window stating, (A required Itunes component is not installed. Please repair or reinstall Itunes.(_42404)"

    To fix registry, refer to this article:

  • I can't open iTunes in Windows 7

    I can't open iTunes in Windows 7 even I download the latest version.
    (iPhone is iOS 5.0.1)
    It's 64-bit Windows 7 and every time I clicked "Agree" in tthe software license, it doesn't work.
    Then the PC helping centre shows the following sentence:
    "iTunes can not work normally anymore.iTunes has the latest version to download, this will solve the problem.Apple Inc. suggest you to upgrade to newest version of iTunes, to improve the safety and stability."
    This shows for many times and I keep upgrade iTunes.How to  solve this problem?
    P.S. Sorry for any grammatical and spelling mistakes.The sentence is translated by me from Chinese, hope you can know what I mean.

    There are various things this could be. First restart you computer
    Check to see if you QUicktime works as iTunes can't work without it. If it doesn't work, describe what happens.
    Then run a virus and spyware scan as malware has been known to do this.
    Then check to see if disabling your forewall allows iTunes to start, this hasn't been seen for a while, but in the past firwall blocking has caused iTunes to hang.
    Then work through this Apple help on troubleshooting launch failures;

    Hey KEBENNETT, 
    It sounds like you've restored Windows on your PC and iTunes is no longer opening and running normally. 
    I'd recommend using the instructions found at step 4 and 5 in this article to repair or remove/reinstall your iTunes installation:
