SpotifyWebHelper.exe keeps adding itself to startup, and install location?

Every. Single. Time I try to disable Spotify from coming on when I start my computer back up, SpotifyWebHelper.exe gets re-added into Window (7)'s startup. No matter what setting I use, even if I uninstall and reinstall - it pops back up there. And what's worse, is the exe stays open after I close Spotify.
I don't need or want SpotifyWebHelper.exe, I'm tired of having to rename it, make a blank file with that name, then setting it to read only just to keep it from running. Is there any other way to get around this? I canceled my premium subscription because of crap like this, and the awful support I received in the past. I get that you guys rewrote everything from the ground up (Or at least it seems that way), but come on... Let us disable this crap.
Oh and is there a way to move Spotify's install location? No program should install itself into the AppData folder.

1) Yes.
2) Yes although the data on the current RAID set will be deleted.
3) Yes.
4) Yes.

Uplayermediaplayer-setup.exe keeps prompting me to download and install. It is a virus according to Google. How do you remove these prompts?

My question says it all. In addition, this started to happen yesterday. Initially all I did is download the file. However, before I installed it, I checked with Google about it. When I discovered the file is a virus or malicious malware. So, I never installed it. I have run PC Tuneup Maestro several times now and fixed issues. However, this prompting from uplayermediaplayer-setup.exe keeps coming up on my computer screen. I do not install it. I want to rid my computer of this prompting from this file. I have Norton 360 Internet Security. I have checked my status with N360 too. I do believe via Internet Options on Internet Explorer 8 that I have cleared my computer cache ( I'm not sure if this is the correct procedure for doing clearing the computer cache?). This is a very annoying problem. I've wasted a lot of time trying to rid my computer of this supposed prompting to download and install this file. Earlier this morning, I tried to call in to N360 support, but the representative did not give me direct answers, wasted much time, and really did not give me a feeling of knowledge of this file or how to remove the prompting to download and install it.

Oh, just one more thing, I have the VLC media player on my computer. I am happy with it. It has also been updated to the most recent version 2.1.1 This is also why I questioned why uplayermediaplayer-setup.exe was even coming up on my computer screen in the first place.

Ipod keeps resetting itself with folder and exclamation point.

Well, I was listening to some music one day when my ipod just shut off on me.
I reset it because it wont turn back on and it shows me the apple emblem and then a folder with an exclamation point and then shuts off. It will do this as long as I am willing to stand there and keep pushing any button.
At one point and time it would actually make an audible spinning sound and then come to a halt and repeat that over and over again.
I tried charging it and nothing changed.
I tried hooking it up to the computer and the computer does not even recognize it being connected anymore.
Could a bad/corrupted song possibly ruin the ipod? Anything suggestions as to what my problem may be?
Thanks in advance!

Hello,
If a sad iPod icon or an exclamation point and folder icon appears on your iPod’s screen, or with sounds of clicking or HD whirring, it is usually the sign of a hard drive problem and you have the power to do something about it now. Your silver bullet of resolving your iPod issue – is to restore your iPod to factory settings.
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=60983
If you're having trouble, try these steps at different levels one at a time until the issue is resolved. These steps will often whip your iPod back into shape.
Make sure you do all the following “TRYs”
A. Try to wait 30 minutes while iPod is charging.
B. Try another FireWire or USB through Dock Connector cable.
C. Try another FireWire or USB port on your computer .
D. Try to disconnect all devices from your computer's FireWire and USB ports.
E. Try to download and install the latest version of iPod software and iTunes
http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
For old and other versions of iPod updater for window you can get here
http://www.ipodwizard.net/showthread.php?t=7369
F. Try these five steps (known as the five Rs) and it would conquer most iPod issues.
http://www.apple.com/support/ipod/five_rs/
G. Try to put the iPod into Disk Mode if it fails to appear on the desktop
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=93651
If none of these steps address the issue, you may need to go to Intermediate level listed below in logical order. Check from the top of the lists to see if that is what keeping iPod from appearing on your computer in order for doing the Restore.
Intermediate Level
A. Try to connect your iPod with another computer with the iPod updater pre-installed.
B. Still can’t see your iPod, put it in Disk Mode and connect with a computer, instead of doing a Restore on iPod Updater. Go and format the iPod instead.
For Mac computer
1. Open the disk utility, hope your iPod appears there (left hand side), highlight it
2. Go to Tab “Partition”, click either “Delete” or “Partition”, if fails, skip this step and go to 3
3. Go to Tab “Erase” , choose Volume Format as “MAC OS Extended (Journaled), and click Erase, again if fails, skip it and go to 4
4. Same as step 3, but open the “Security Options....” and choose “Zero Out Data” before click Erase. It will take 1 to 2 hours to complete.
5. Eject your iPod and do a Reset
6. Open the iTunes 7 and click “Restore”
For Window computer
Go to folder “My Computer”
Hope you can see your iPod there and right click on the iPod
Choose “Format”. Ensure the settings are at “Default” and that “Quick Format” is not checked
Now select “Format”
Eject your iPod and do a Reset
Open the iTunes 7 and click “Restore”
In case you do not manage to do a “Format” on a window computer, try to use some 3rd party disk utility software, e.g.“HP USB Disk Storage Format Tool”.
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=501330&tstart=0
C. Windows users having trouble with their iPods should locate a Mac user. In many cases when an iPod won't show up on a PC that it will show up on the Mac. Then it can be restored. When the PC user returns to his computer the iPod will be recognized by the PC, reformatted for the PC, and usable again. By the way, it works in reverse too. A Mac user often can get his iPod back by connecting it to a PC and restoring it.
Tips
a. It does not matter whether the format is completed or not, the key is to erase (or partly) the corrupted firmware files on the Hard Drive of the iPod. After that, when the iPod re-connected with a computer, it will be recognized as an fresh external hard drive, it will show up on the iTunes 7.
b. It is not a difficult issue for a Mac user to find a window base computer, for a PC user, if they can’t find any Mac user, they can go to a nearest Apple Shop for a favor.
c. You may need to switch around the PC and Mac, try to do several attempts between “Format” and “Restore”

Advance Level
A. Diagnostic mode solution
If you have tried trouble shooting your iPod to no avail after all the steps above, chances are your iPod has a hardware problem. The iPod's built-in Diagnostic Mode is a quick and easy way to determine if you have a "bad" iPod.
You need to restart your iPod before putting it into Diagnostic Mode. Check that your hold switch is off by sliding the switch away from the headphone jack. Toggle it on and off to be safe.
Press and hold the following combination of buttons simultaneously for approximately 10 seconds to reset the iPod.
iPod 1G to 3G: "Menu" and "Play/Pause"
iPod 4G+ (includes Photo, Nano, Video, and Mini): "Menu" and "Select"
The Apple logo will appear and you should feel the hard drive spinning up. Press and hold the following sequence of buttons:
iPod 1G to 3G: "REW", "FFW" and "Select"
iPod 4G+ (includes Photo, Nano, Video, and Mini): "Back" and "Select"
You will hear an audible chirp sound (3G models and higher) and the Apple logo should appear backwards. You are now in Diagnostic Mode. Navigate the list of tests using "REW" and "FFW". The scroll wheel will not function while in diagnostic mode. For further details on Diagnostic mode can be found at http://www.methodshop.com/mp3/ipodsupport/diagnosticmode/
Try to do the 5in1, HDD R/W and HDD scan tests. Some successful cases have been reported after the running the few tests under the Diagnostic mode. In case it does not work in your case, and the scan tests reports show some errors then it proves your iPod has a hardware problem and it needs a repairing service.
B. Format your iPod with a start disk
I have not tried this solution myself, I heard that there were few successful cases that the users managed to get their iPod (you must put your iPod in disk mode before connecting with a computer) mounted by the computer, which was booted by a system startup disk. For Mac, you can use the Disk Utility (on the Tiger OS system disk), for PC user, you can use the window OS system disk. Try to find a way to reformat your iPod, again it does not matter which format (FAT32, NTFS or HFS+) you choose, the key is to erase the corrupted system files on the iPod. Then eject your iPod and do a Reset to switch out from Disk Mode. Reboot your computer at the normal way, connect your iPod back with it, open the iPod updater, and hopefully your iPod will appear there for the Restore.
If none of these steps address the issue, your iPod may need to be repaired.
Consider setting up a mail-in repair for your iPod http://depot.info.apple.com/ipod/
Or visit your local Apple Retail Store http://www.apple.com/retail/
In case your iPod is no longer covered by the warranty and you want to find a second repairing company, you can try iPodResQ at your own risk
http://www.ipodresq.com/index.php
Just in case that you are at the following situation
Your iPod warranty is expired
You don’t want to pay any service charges
You are prepared to buy a new one
You can’t accept the re-sell value of your broken iPod
Rather than leave your iPod as paper-weight or throw it away.
You can try the following, but again, only do it as your last resort and at your own risk.
Warning !!!! – It may or may not manage to solve your problem, and with a risk that you may further damage your iPod, which end up as an expensive paper weight or you need to pay more higher repairing cost. Therefore, please re-consider again whether you want to try the next level
Last Resort Level
1. . Disconnecting the Hard Drive and battery inside the iPod – Warning !! Your iPod warranty will be waived once you open the iPod.
In Hong Kong there are some electronic shops offering an iPod service for Sad iPod, the first thing they do is to open up the iPod’s case and disconnecting the battery and the Hard Drive from the main board of the iPod. Wait for 5-10 minutes and reconnecting them back. The reason behind which I can think of is to do a fully reset of a processor of the iPod. In case you want do it itself and you believe that you are good on fixing the electronics devices and have experience to deal with small bits of electronic parts, then you can read the following of how to open the iPod case for battery and HDD replacement (with Quicktimes)

2.Press the reset button on the Hard Drive inside the iPod – Suggestion from Kill8joy
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=2438774#2438774
Have I tried these myself? No, I am afraid to do it myself as I am squeamish about tinkering inside electronic devices, I have few experiences that either I broke the parts (which are normally tiny or fragile) or failed to put the parts back to the main case. Therefore, I agree with suggestion to have it fixed by a Pro.

I am not suggesting that you should follow as well, but just read them as your reference. You are the person to make the call.
Finally, I read a fair comments from dwb, regarding of slapping the back of the iPod multiple times
Quote “This has been discussed numerous times as a 'fix'. It does work, at least for a while. In fact I remember using the same basic trick to revive Seagate and Quantam drives back in the mid to late 1980's. Why these tiny hard drives go bad I don't know - could be the actuator gets stuck in place or misaligned. Could be the platter gets stuck or the motor gets stuck. 'Stiction' was a problem for drives back in the 80's. Unfortunately the fix can cause damage to the platter so we temporarily fix one problem by creating another. But I know of two instances where a little slap onto the table revived the iPods and they are still worked a year or more later.”UnQuote

Really need some help here. My G5 keeps putting itself to sleep and more..

Just out of the blue my mac doesn't turn on. I turned it on a few more times and it still wouldn'tt power up, my screen was just not recognizing anything. So I open up my mac unplug everything, than turn it back on and it works again. But the fan is very loud, I hear grinding noises every now and than, and the weirdest thing is it would not power up unless I took the cover off my mac and removed the plastic bay that protects the inside from dust.
Now it keeps putting itself to sleep. Over and over it's so frustrating.
I'm very concerned here, is this a hard drive problem? I even formated my hard drive, but that did nothing.
What is going on here?

Have you checked the PRAM battery?
I would check it first. When mine went, I had no response from my Mac at all; just a light on my power button; absolutely no boot at all.
Check out things in Texas Mac Man's Battery, PRAM, PMU tutorial on the subject. His tutorial is a little dated (don't believe it even mentions G5's) but the info in it, except SMU not being included, still applies.
I believe this is the battery for a Late 2005 G5 2.5 dual. Yours is near the age it should be replaced.

ICloud keeps adding same contact over and over. How do I stop it? 4,600 duplicates in less than 24 hours and counting.

I added a contact on my Mac Mini yesterday and it keeps adding the same contact over and over.. up to 4,600 duplicates and counting.. How do I stop it?
Here was the exact sequence.
1. Added a contact in Contacts.app on my Mac running OSX Mavericks 10.9
2. Contact was added to Contacts.app successfully.
3. Noticed only one contact in Contacts.app on Mac.
4. Opened Contacts on my iPhone 5S running 7.0.4 and searched for contact.
5. Noticed duplicates in Contacts on my iPhone 5S.
6. Looked at Contacts.app on Mac, Still only one.
7. Checked iPhone again, noticed several more contacts added and the data spin icon working in the status bar and more being added as I was watching.
8. Opened icloud via web browser, noticed same thing in the Contacts section.
9. Shutdown, Mac (thinking there was a bit of code open ended code)
10. turned off all iCloud Contacts on all iOS devices linked to this icloud account.
11. Less than 24 hours later... 4,600++ duplicate contacts in icloud and counting.
12. As I am writing this I deleted icloud from my mac.. thinking this is the bug's origination point.
what's next??

Step 12 Stopped the duplicate contact.
Deleted iCloud from my Mac. Hope this helps someone.

Issue running Forms. System keeps trying to run OAJInit and install JRE 5.0

Hi,
Just changed to a new machine and trying to access forms from Firefox, IE and/or Netscape. When clicking on a link that should take me to forms, I am asked to download and install OAJinit.exe, with the following message:
In order to access this application, you must install the J2SE Plugin version 1.5.0_03. To install this plugin, click here to download the oajinit.exe executable. Once the download is complete, double-click the oajinit.exe file to install the plugin. You will be prompted to restart your browser when the installation is complete.
Installation of JRE 1.5 goes well, but when trying to run forms, I am still prompted to download OAJInit.exe... If I proceed with the installation, I get
"you already have this version of the JRE installed. Please uninstall the product through your add/remove programs utility before reinstalling."
Any idea what I could do wrong?
Thanks

I agree with Renato,
The $OA_HTML/bin/appsweb_INSTANCE_server.cfg (or appsweb.cfg in single Apps node configuration) file is right there JINIT/Client JRE configuration is stored on a server side.
It is advisable however to adjust an autoconfig context configuration file and then run autoconfig then instead of modifying configuration file manually.
Plus as far as I know using Sun J2SE 5.0 on a Clint side is in Early Adopter Program and isnt certificated for wider public.
REF http://blogs.oracle.com/schan/newsItems/departments/release11i/2006/04/18#a23
Replacing Oracle JInitiator with Sun's Native Plug-In
But let me ask the following question before you will go ahead with Renatos suggested:
- Is this problem appeared only on that single PC?
- If yes then which Jinitator version is used on other PSs to get connected to the particular environment?
- Can you try in IE Tools-> Internet Options-> Advanced -> Java (Sun) and untick Use JRE 1.5.0 ... Try to connect to the environment after that.

Sapmmc - jstart.exe keeps restarting, switching between green and yellow

Hi Friends,
I installed the SAP core server ( as part of SAP convergent charging) , but jstart.exe and dispatcher-1 process in sapmmc are noticed keep switching between yellow and green. when the jstart.exe turns green (all process running) , dispatcher-1 turns yellow (waiting to start) and when dispatcher-1 turns green (restart-yes) , jstart.exe turns yellow (some processes running). Only for a small duration , they both remain green (may be during transition).

HI,
Import the SAP profiles in SAP transaction RZ10: Utilities - Import profiles - of Active Server
OR
Check what messages do you have in jvm_server0.out, dev_server0.out and bootstrap traces,
also have a look at the note 142100.
The first problem is that in the SCS instance there are no running enqueue server as its starting line have no line break at the end in the start profile. Without this NT cannot parse the line. After adding the line break the enqueue server could start.
The second problem is that in the global dispatcher configuration for the LockingManager the en.port was set to 3201 instead of 3200 (which is correct as the SCS instance has the intance number 00).
After correcting these problems the J2EE engine could be started fine.

Printer keeps adding itself...

About a month ago, a dialog box popped up saying something about a printer in use (I wasn't doing anything) and it told me I had to create a new printer. So I then had two of the same printer in the setup window. One called "ColorBurst_RIP", the original, and the new one I had to create called "ColorBurstRIPNEW".
Then started to have Photoshop CS 2 problems (Could not complete your request because of a program error) So I got some support docs on it and one of the troubleshooting tips was to delete and re-add printers.
Now everytime I go in and add the ColorBurst printer, it creates the one I just added and then it creates another one in the box called ColorBurstRIPNEW. It is the one that I had to "create" after the original error message.
Searched the HD for ColorBurstRIPNEW so I could delete it, but nothing is found. What is going on and how do I fix this?
This is on my dual processor G4 mirrored desktop.

Hi,
Try installing both of the software updates below and check if those may resolve the issue, those meant to address software issues which may cause the printer to disappear or reinstall itself:

So my calendar on my 4th generation keeps reseting itself to 1970 and many apps won't launch because of it, why?

Help as I need to use these apps on a daily basis for work.

Try #2 and #3 in link below. If neither work, you most likely have a hardware issue.

it keeps turning on and off but wont show my display screen at allHey , Thanks for your post! That sounds pretty frustrating, but we would like to help. First, we would like to gather a bit more information from you. Can you confirm you have an SM-G925A (Settings>About Device)? On that same page, can you provide us with your Baseband number? Has there been any physical or liquid damage? What happens when the phone is plugged in? When did this start happening? Let's start with a Soft Reset. This will restart your phone. You can do that by pressing and holding the volume down and power button for 7-10 seconds. Keep us posted on how that goes, Thanks, Les with Samsung Support

Flash keeps crashing. I uninstalled and installed 10.3. Scripts stop. Keeps hanging. What to do?

For some reason Flash started crashing a few weeks ago. Now using version 19.0 on Max OSX 10.6.8.

I am using the latest version of Flash, which seems to me to be better than the previous ones. I got it from here:
* http://www.adobe.com/products/flashplayer/distribution3.html
You could try disabling hardware acceleration in Flash and see if that is any better. Do that by right-clicking the Flash video and choosing Settings, then uncheck Hardware Acceleration.

How to startup and install listener in oracle linux after intalling database ?

what i am doing after installataion oracle database with ruinInstallet (oui) ?

Hi,
you have to set environement variables $ORACLE_HOME and $PATH in user profile ( .bash_profile in your home directory). some think like this :
export ORACLE_HOME=/u01/app/oracle/product/11.2.3/db_1
export PATH=$ORACLE_HOME/bin:$PATH
after that you execute ths profile . .profile or reconnect to load the variables, you can then use netca,sqlplus or any other utilities in bin directory of your ORACLE_HOME

Disabling SpotifyWebHelper.exe with version 1.0.1.1060

It seems the latest version of Spotify Desktop for Windows runs SpotifyWebHelper.exe permantently.
If I remember correctly, there used to be an option called "Allow Spotify to be started from the Web" which allowed us to turn that off. Where has this option gone? (To be clear: I'm quite happy not to be able to start Spotify from the Web.)
Even when the this is removed from the registry ("HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run"), starting the Spotify application starts this background process again, but it is not stopped when Spotify is closed.
Could Spotify stop trying to take over my PC please? If I want it closed, I want all of it closed. Thank you.

Given that Spotify seems to think this issue is closed, given their response to this thread
https://community.spotify.com/t5/Closed-Ideas/Do-not-alter-user-s-startup-login-items-without-asking/idi-p/1049646 and that if their were any further issues we should post here... I am posting here. SpotifyWebHelper.exe is added to the startup group, not only on reinstallation, but on every use of spotify. I do not want, or need, spotify to start from the web. That is why I keep disabling this service. If I want to turn it back on, I can do that to. What is completely unacceptable is YOU turning it back on without my permission. FIX THIS. Or lose my subscription. This service is not even needed to run spotify, as I can disable it while spotify is running with no issues at all. It is thus in my book a competly unnecessary peice of bloatware. I take great care to remove and destroy any and all bloatware on my machines. If you do not fix this issue, that is what I will classify your entire program as.

Macbook Pro Keeps Restarting Itself and then totally crashed

Dear all.
I am using Macbook Pro 13-inch (i7 2.9 Ghz, 8 GB DDR3, 750 GB) with OS X Maverick (10.9.4).
For the last few months, my Macbook Pro kept restarting itself and I usually ignored this issue until yesterday, my MBP fail to boot up, only display the grey apple logo and rolling icon below for almost 30 mins.
I tried the safe mode and reset NVRAM method and it still fail to boot up and sometimes a black text appears (aka kernel panic).
Then i took my macbook pro to the nearest Apple service provider and the technician said that it was probably due to the 750 GB Hard Disk since the HD itself is a faulty product, therefore we can't find any 750 GB HD nowadays. So he recommended me to replace my current HD with a new HD. I took his advice and I replaced it with 1 TB Toshiba HD. And then the technician reformat my MBP and installed the OS X Maverick. My Macbook pro able to boot up now.
However the next day I still find my MBP keeps restarting itself (until now) and take note that I didn't install any new softwares, I only updated the available updates in Apps Store for the OS, iBooks, and iTunes.
Can anyone recommend me what to do? Is this a Hardware problem or software problem?
I'm thinking to switch back to OS Lion to see whether this is mainly due to OS Maverick.
Thank you.

Unfortunately yes. Since the computer is unable to boot up, that part of the software starts BEFORE the OS would. Last time I had this problem, it turned out to be a faulty GPU (soldered to the logic board) and i needed to replace the logic board. If you wanted to, you could indeed back up your personal data (you should ANYWAY, no matter what you do) and you could try to do a fresh install, but I'm fairly confident you are experiencing either faulty ram, or a faulty logic board.
