Removing iTunesHelper from start-up programs, a bad idea?

I would like to remove iTunesHelper from my start-up, is this a bad idea? Will it hurt iTunes performance?
Thank you.
I would also like to remove QuickTime Task, that ok?

it won't hurt at all:
This is what the iTunes helper does, it makes it so whenever you connect an iPod/iPhone/iPad/etc., if you have the option to do so enabled in iTunes, it will automatically open iTunes for that device.
So, remember that checkbox "Run iTunes when this device is connected?" in your iPod screens? Yup, iTunes Helper is the tool that helps manage this and determine the device is connected, and runs iTunes if it is not open.
That said, if you like this feature, then you'll want to keep it around. If you disable it, when you connect a device, iTunes will not open automatically, even if you specifically told it to do so before, since it requires iTunes Helper to do that.
However if you don't care for this, and wish to open iTunes manually, then there is no problem with removing it from your startup.
I am not sure about the quicktime task. sorry

  • Remove items from start up menu

    I installed smartboard program from external harddrive and it startups every time I turn on my computer.  I don't need it to start up everytime I open my computer, its annoying having to close it.  How do you remove it from the startup menu....so that it doesn't open everytime I open my computer?

    Try System Preferences>Users & Groups>Login Items. Remove it from there. Other than that contact the vendor.

  • HT201364 How do you remove OSX from start up disk?

    Trying to update to OSZ Mavrick and system is telling me that: "You need 4.93 GB of available space to download OS X Mavericks. Remove items from your startup disk to increase available space." How do I accomplish this?

    You should never, EVER let a conputer hard drive get completely full, EVER!
    With Macs and OS X, you shouldn't let the hard drive get below 15 GBs or less of free data space.
    If it does, it's time for some hard drive housecleaning.
    Follow some of my tips for cleaning out, deleting and archiving data from your Mac's internal hard drive.
    Have you emptied your iMac's Trash icon in the Dock?
    If you use iPhoto, iPhoto has its own trash that needs to be emptied, also.
    If you store images in other locations other than iPhoto, then you will have to weed through these to determine what to archive and what to delete.
    If you use Apple Mail app, Apple Mail also has its own trash area that needs to be emptied, too!
    Delete any old or no longer needed emails and/or archive to disc, flash drives or external hard drive, older emails you want to save.
    Look through your other Mailboxes and other Mail categories to see If there is other mail you can archive and/or delete.
    Other things you can do to gain space.
    Once you have around 15 GBs regained, do a search, download and install OmniDisk Sweeper.
    This app will help you locate files that you can move/archive and/or delete from your system.
    STAY AWAY FROM DELETING ANY FILES FROM OS X SYSTEM FOLDER!
    Look through your Documents folder and delete any type of old useless type files like "Read Me" type files.
    Again, archive to disc, flash drives, ext. hard drives or delete any old documents you no longer use or immediately need.
    Look in your Applications folder, if you have applications you haven't used in a long time, if the app doesn't have a dedicated uninstaller, then you can simply drag it into the OS X Trash icon. IF the application has an uninstaller app, then use it to completely delete the app from your Mac.
    Download an app called OnyX for your version of OS X.
    When you install and launch it, let it do its initial automatic tests, then go to the cleaning and maintenance tabs and run the maintenance tabs that let OnyX clean out all web browser cache files, web browser histories, system cache files, delete old error log files.
    Typically, iTunes and iPhoto libraries are the biggest users of HD space.
    move these files/data off of your internal drive to the external hard drive and deleted off of the internal hard drive.
    If you have any other large folders of personal data or projects, these should be archived or moved, also, to the optical discs, flash drives or external hard drive and then either archived to disc and/or deleted off your internal hard drive.
    Good Luck!

  • HT1338 how do i remove items from start up disk to create space for updates

    Hello,
    i can't update becuase i need to "remove items from my startup_disk?  how do i do that?  is that the same as my hard_disk?

    Yes, your hard disk is your startup disk. How large is your disk and how much space is still available?
    How many videos, music, and pics do you have on your disk? You may have to move such space hogging files to an external drive; your startup disk needs an absolute minimum of 10 - 15 GB of free/empty space at all times in order to function properly.

    Go to System Preferences / Users & Groups / Click on "Locked Padlock" and type in Administrators name and password / Click on User Account you want to remove and click the --- button / A dialog box will appear that looks like this:
    Click the 'Delete the home folder' option, click on the OK button to delete that users account.

    It is very difficult to offer troubleshooting suggestions when the "os version" you are using is unknown as each os has their own troubleshooting solutions. 

  • After installation, why isn't PP CS4 showing up as a desktop shortcut or in Start Menu Programs?

    I have a new desktop for editing and have Windows 7 Pro loaded. With all other applications off, I installed PP CS4 with my program CD. Everything went smoothly without errors. When I wanted to open PP from Start Menu Programs, it wasn't listed. All of the accompanying Adobe software was listed except for Premiere. A shortcut on the desktop didn't appear either. Premiere is listed in the Control Panel under Programs & Features. It is also present in my C drive Program Files (x86) folder. Any thoughts about what happened and how I can fix it? Thanks!

    Hi Jim!
    Sorry I haven't responded for a month. I've been out-of-state on a family matter and have just returned.
    Here is what's in the PP CS4 folder:
    I followed the links to install the Windows Virtual PC feature into my Windows 7 Pro OS. I have attched the following screen shot that shows in the Note section at the bottom that the virtual application feature is not supported in Windows 7 Pro.
    Please let me know which way I should go from here.
    Thx!

  • I can not upgrade from 10.2 to 10.6 because of missing "itunes.msi" file.  How do I repair it? I can not remove itunes and start over.

    I can not upgrade from 10.2 to 10.6 because of missing "itunes.msi" file.  I can not delete ITunes and start over either.

    Download the Windows Installer CleanUp utility from the following page (use one of the links under the "DOWNLOAD LOCATIONS" thingy on the Major Geeks page):
    http://majorgeeks.com/download.php?det=4459
    To install the utility, doubleclick the msicuu2.exe file you downloaded.
    Now run the utility ("Start > All Programs > Windows Install Clean Up"). In the list of programs that appears in CleanUp, select any iTunes entries and click "Remove", as per the following screenshot:
    Quit out of CleanUp, restart the PC and try another iTunes install. Does it go through properly this time?

  • Can't remove start up program

    Hi.
    I just found out that the app Extensis Suitcase X1 appears in my account as a start up program. The url for the app points to a DVD I no longer own and I'm not able to remove this from that panel.
    Is there another way to do that?
    Thanks in advance.

    This entry is stored in a plist file here-
    /Users/youruser/Library/Preferences/loginwindow.plist
    This plist is an xml file with entries relating to startup items needed by the user account.
    You can edit the file in a text editor (harder) or use a plist editing program to remove the entry for Suitcase.
    Apple provide a free plist editing program that installs as part of Xcode or you can try this one-

  • Remove picture/link to 'user accounts' from start menu by GPO

    Hi,
    I'm trying to remove everything from the start menu, users will have desktop short cuts appropriate to their role and nothing else.  The last item I cannot disable or remove is the picture which also functions as a link to 'user accounts'.  I don't
    care if the picture stays just so long as it is completely static.
    Alternatively, a means to completely remove the start menu would be fine.
    Thanks
    Julian

    Simply block Control Panel - Users and Groups, and nothing will happen...
