Start up programs icloud doesn't play by the rules

I intend this to be a formal complaint. I am running windows 7 64-bit on my PC, and have repeatedly removed the iCloud program from the list of assigned startup programs. Every few restarts (so every 1-2 times that I restart or turn on my computer) it appears again, running at startup, using up resources. I value the control I have over which programs open when I start my computer- by managing the programs and limiting the number which automatically run to only those which I find essential (like sound driver software, video display driver software, wireless management software, and antivirus) I am able to dramatically reduce the time it takes for my computer to be ready for use after pushing the on/off button.
iCloud, as a singular exception within this system, does not play by the rules. I suspect that it is constantly checking for updates and upon updating or simply upon auto-running to perform this check, it resets or resestablishes information in the computer's registry, bypassing my GUI established setting and re-assigning itself as a startup program. For this reason I am now uninstalling iCloud from my computer.
I do not know if this was an intentional tactic by Apple to make their brand even more ubiquitous than it already is, or simply an oversight/something ignored as unimportant by the developers. Either way, I find it manipulative or at the very least, a poor business practice. Thanks for reading.

Thank you for this information. I am going to get rid of my i Phone5c because of this policy of Apple! Maybe they need sued to stop this policy!

Remove applemobiledevicehelper.exe and why apple doesn't play by the rules?

Hi all,
I'm just wondering if somebody knows how to remove or rip out applemobiledevicehelper.exe. It's eating up resources and I don't need it since I don't have an Apple mobile device.
On the point of playing by the rules, I'm wondering why Apple believes it can just dump all sorts of crap on my computer that I haven't asked for, need or want. E.g. Quicktime, Applemobiledevicehelper. Apple seems to think it is SO cool that the rules somehow don't apply to them.

How do you remove Apple Mobile Device Support?
I just went to Add/remove programs, found Apple Mobile Device and clicked uninstall.
My iTunes seems to work fine without it, but I have an old iPod, I can't speak for the most recent models.

I want to create an external video widget with iAd. I followed the steps and copied the Url and paste it in the Video pop-up menu in the Properties section of the inspector. When i select 'preview' the video doesn't play and the Url that i pasted is gone.

hope someone can help!

May have something to do with whether or not the URL can be reached while building your widget. I've got a video on the web. When I enter the URL into the field for the video object and click to another field, the URL is replaced with some text indicating that it is accessing the video then updates itself to displaying just the name of the video file.
It shows just fine in preview and I can see the full path to the video when I export the widget so it should work for you.
Is the video accessible from your Mac while you're laying out your widget?

My computer was rebuilt this week and I am in the process of setting up iTunes and have a weird setup issue. The music in my playlists plays but the same song doesn't play from the library. Initially, I opened ITunes while holding down Shift of control.

My computer was rebuilt this week and I am in the process of setting up iTunes and have a weird setup issue. The music in my playlists plays but the same song doesn't play from the library. Initially, I opened ITunes while holding down Shift of control key.

Scratch the post above - the musics that plays in the playlist also plays in the library and that is because i forgot that i imported from the cd yesterday. Basically, I see the rest of my music, but it doesnt' play and tells me it can't locate the file though the location in 'perferences' points to the correct location. Getting iTunes to play after a new computer or rebuild is a headache.

My music doesn't play in the order it's supposed to.

My music doesn't play in the order its supposed to. The songs are listed in the correct order in the playlist and when I choose the first song in my playlist, it plays, but then every song after that is played randomly. Its like its shuffling. How do I fix this?

DVD doesn't play from the beginning when inserted a second time into a dvd player

DVD burnt in DVD studio pro, when ejected and inserted again into dvd player, the dvd plays from where it stopped the last tome it was ejected. It doesn't rewind and play from the beginning.
Is the problem in the burning settings in DVD studio pro? any help is really appreciated!

My DVD Player setting was Last option played, I changed it now to "beginning". It now starts from the beginning when I insert it again, thanks.
Another issue is that my First play in the DVD is a Track, then comes a Menu. When I leave to the Menu while the Track didnt finish, and then click the dvdmenu on my remote control, the Track resumes from where I exited to the menu last.
Is that something i can control ? To make that intro track start from the beginning?
Thank you, I appreciate the help!

Animated GIF Doesn't Play To The End

I've created a simple animated GIF in Photoshop CS6, eight seconds long, 30fps.
I have several layers that fade out at and then more layers that fade IN at four seconds. It plays perfectly in Photoshop, but a rendered GIF doesn't play entirely to the end - it stops prematurely.
How do I fix this? I've tried the animated GIF in a browser and it does the same thing in a PPT slide.
Anyone?
Thanks.

Thank you, Nancy.
I just reduced my project file down to 15fps and three seconds long. Testing the animation in the Save for Web dialogue box I see that it still won't play to the end. The fade-in stops before it's at 100% opacity.
The rendered GIF file size would be 242k. I HAVE to use Save for Web, as Save As will discard hidden layers and animations.
Still can't figure out what causes this, and I've had this happen to me before. (I bet I wouldn't have this problem rendering out of After Effects.)

ITunes doesn't play to the correct output device

Background
I have an Acer Aspire 5100 laptop running Vista Home Premium connected to a Xbrand 360 Universal Docking station via USB. Bose Companion 2 Series II speakers are connected to the dock via a 3.5mm miniplug and cable.
Problem
iTunes output goes to the laptop's built-in speakers while all other sounds go to the docking station connected speakers as desired.
Detail
More specifically, when tested from Windows Control Panel the tones emanate from the Bose speakers. On playing iTunes, songs continue to be output to the laptop's built-in speakers. Windows Media Player directs the output through the dock to the Bose speakers. Streaming media through IE 7.0 also plays through the dock to the speakers. Windows sounds play through the Bose speakers. Disabling the laptop speakers in Windows control panel has no effect. I have followed instruction from Xbrand, the dock manufacturer, to select the Bose speakers as the default speakers in Windows Control Panel. They acknowledge integration issues with Vista and suggest this as the work around. I have found no options in iTunes preferences or elsewhere that direct playback to different media except some AirTunes stuff which I ve deselected. Crossfade, Sound Enhancer, and Sound Check are also deselected.
A remedy is greatly appreciated.

I thought I had rebooted the laptop but apparently I had not. Restart solves the problem.

I have an Iphone 5 and an Ipod Touch and use iCloud. Some of the music I have in my library doesn't play on the iPhone 5.

I have an iPhone 5 and an iTouch and use iCloud. Some of the music in my library plays on my iTouch but does not on my iPhone 5. Any insight as to how to fix this?

I recommend that you
Create a NEW account/ID for her using these instructions. Make sure you follow the instructions. Many do not and if you do not you will not get the None option. You must use an email address that you have not used with Apple before. Make sure you specify a birthdate that results in being at least 13 years old
Creating an iTunes Store, App Store, iBookstore, and Mac App Store account without a credit card
More details of how:
http://ipadhelp.com/ipad-help-tips-tricks/how-to-get-free-apps-from-the-app-stor e-without-a-credit-card/
Use the new ID on her iPod but only for:
Settings>Messages>Send and Receive
Settings>FaceTime
Settings>GameCenter
and Settings>iCloud if you want her to have separate Contacts Calendar and some other things.
Continue to use the same/common Apple ID for Settings>iTunes and App stores so you can share purchases.

Audio file doesn't play on the server

hi,
i have embedded an audio file on a page. it plays perfectly fine in whatever browser i use to preview it, but when i put the page on my server the play controls do not appear, only the quicktime logo appears. url:http://www.doctorastronomy.net/amateurastro/SunTube3.html
thanks,
dave

Solution: Embed a Flash MP3 Media Player on your page. You'll reach the widest audience with Flash because Flash media plug-in comes factory installed on almost all new computers. QuickTime doesn't.

TS1362 Music doesn't play all the way through

I uploaded all my music i bought to my new laptop. I got them through the purchased and redownloaded them since my other computer wont start up anymore. I started to listen to them and some will play for 30 seconds and then switch songs or play three fours of the way through. What should i do?

I have this problem too, on loads of tracks. When watched in playback via itunes, some just stop half way along the playback bar. At other times they get all the way to the 'end', but this is actually before the end of the track. I have tried re-downloading the tracks from iTunes, but it won't let me. When I play them from the previously purchased button, it is even worse, it can cut a 3 minute track down to 1 minute.
Any help would be apreciated.

ICloud doesn't give me the option to merge safari bookmarks anymore. (iPad 2)

I had previously merged all of my bookmarks to my iPad using the iCloud. I decided I only wanted the bookmarks that were from my iMac, so I proceeded to manually delete all of the bookmarks from my iPad (sort of wanted to start with a clean slate). I didn't realize that when you turned the 'bookmarks' option off in the iCloud that you would be prompted to save/delete the bookmarks. Anyway, I hit 'delete' even though I had already got rid of them myself, but when I turned the option back on I wasn't given the option to merge anymore. However when I turn the option back to off, and only when I choose to delete, I get that little text on the screen "turning off bookmarks..." with the dotted circle that turns into a check mark. So my problem is that I don't have the option to merge anymore.
I started having this problem about 2 weeks ago and have done an update ever since. Everything on my iMac is up to date and my iPad2 is up to date as well (5.0.1). Anybody else having this same issue or have a resolution for this?
