Stop iTunes desktop icon from appearing after update

Any way to configure this behaviour?
I like an uncluttered desktop and have the shortcuts where I like them to be.  On every update however, the iTunes desktop icon appears on my desktop, and it's one of those little things that is really annoying.
Thanks,

Hi
This icon is created as part of the installer, as Wally said, there is no way to stop this.
It's not too difficult to delete the icon anyway

  • Stop a new icon from appearing

    the new update Ver9.0.1 now adds another FF icon to the taskbar when you click to open..how do you stop

    This can be caused by a bad add-on or other malware. Here's my suggested procedure for tracking down and cleaning out bad add-ons. Sorry for the length -- it's not as bad as it looks:
    (1) Open the Windows '''Control Panel''', Uninstall a Program. After the list loads, click the "Installed on" column heading to group the infections, I mean, additions, by date. This can help in smoking out undisclosed bundle items that snuck in with some software you agreed to install. Take out as much trash as possible here.
    (2) Open Firefox's '''Add-ons page''' using either:
    * Ctrl+Shift+a
    * "3-bar" menu button (or Tools menu) > Add-ons
    In the left column, click '''Plugins'''. Set nonessential and unrecognized plugins to "Never Activate".
    In the left column, click '''Extensions'''. Then, if in doubt, disable (or Remove, if possible) unrecognized and unwanted extensions.
    Often a link will appear above at least one disabled extension to restart Firefox. You can complete your work on the tab and click one of the links as the last step.
    Any improvement?
    (3) You can search for remaining issues with the '''scanning/cleaning tools''' listed in our support article: [[Troubleshoot Firefox issues caused by malware]]. These on-demand scanners are free and take considerable time to run. If they finish quickly and especially if they require payment, you may have a serious infection. I suggest the specialized forums listed in the article in that case.
    Success?

  • TS4036 My camera roll will not restore from iCloud after updating my iPhone 4 to iOS 6. It shows I have 1.7 gigs of photos stored on camera roll but none are appearing on my phone. Everything else restored from iCloud.

    My camera roll will not restore from iCloud after updating my iPhone 4 to iOS 6. It shows I have 1.7 gigs of photos stored on camera roll but none are appearing on my phone. Everything else restored from iCloud. When I go to iCloud.com my photostream is not there.

    A response I put together from another post. Also going into iTunes and choosing to sync phone to iCloud then back "this computer" sometimes works.
    First thing.. Stop where you are. Don't try to sync, update, hard reset, iCloud... Just stop.
    Check on your phone under 'SETTINGS' 'GENERAL' USAGE'. It should show some value for PHOTOSTREAM. Also, connect to iTunes and you will notice at the bottom of your phones summary page that there is a large amount of 'OTHER' data.
    I used third party software called iExplorer (formerly iPhone explorer). In this program you select 'MEDIA FOLDER', then 'DCIM'. In the various apple folders (IE: 101APPLE) you should be able to preview your photos and copy them to your desktop.
    From there sync them back to your device through iTunes or whatever method you use.
    There is a simpler solution I'm sure, which may involve using iExplorer to delete some .plist files then restart the phone and let it rebuild. I'm going to try it myself AFTER I've finished copying all the photos to my MAC
    Hope this helps.

  • ITunes Library does not work after update 10.4

    After updating 2 days ago to Lion,yesterday i must update Itunes to 10.4.
    After updating Itunes 10.4 can not see my Itunes Library anymore on my Drobo(Ext HDD)
    I've try everything but it don't work anymore.
    Please help!!!

    Hi Michael, depending on which drobo you have, there are firmware updates you need to download from the drobo support site and install to your drobo, along with companion software on your new Lion system. You can probably do this from any mac that can see the drobo. Maybe even from Lion. For the first gen drobo (which I have) there's not yet a Lion firmware update.
    Drobo (the company) says it's working on Time Machine, which for many people is failing to play nice with Drobo after the Lion upgrade. So you may have to wait a little longer for full Time Machine readiness.
    Best of luck.

  • I have just clicked on my iTunes desktop icon and got the following message "The file iTunes Library.itl" cannot be read because it was created by a newer version of iTunes. Why has this occurred when it working fine?

    I have just clicked on my iTunes desktop icon and got the following message "The file iTunes Library.itl" cannot be read because it was created by a newer version of iTunes. Why has this occurred when it working fine? Is it best to update iTunes to 10.2 to attempt to resolve? Initially I got the prompt Quicktime was out of date so I updated that successfully in all programs. I do not want to lose my iTunes library.

    Make sure to quit all open applications before logging out.
    Your proflie indicates your Mac has v10.7.1 installed.
    If that is the case, updating your system software will help as far as functionaly as well as security.
    Install the OS X Lion Update 10.7.5 (Client Combo)
    Then restart your Mac.

  • When i click on the Itunes desktop icon nothing happens?

    When i click on the Itunes desktop icon nothing happens? I've uninstalled itunes with Revo Uinstaller and deleted all traces and then reinstalled it through the Apple Software Updater and i still cant get Itunes to come up when i click on it.
    I've read that i can go to the task manager and end the process but im afraid to it says "Warning" when i click to end the process.
    Anybody help?

    +Yeah itunes.exe is the process im wondering about ending, wouldn't it be ended if i'v turned my computer of since then?+
    Something must be auto-starting itunes, then. For instance MSN messenger, it can have a plug-in to show what's playing in itunes and that could be starting itunes. There are other programs that can do it too - I don't know what's on your PC.
    Since this is happening in more than one account, I think you are going to have to go through the pain of using MSCONFIG to troubleshoot this issue.

  • STOP iTunes and iPhoto from stealing focus...

    I was curious if there is anyway to stop iTunes and iPhoto from stealing focus when I plug in my iPhone. I do not have pictures to sync, yet iPhoto still popos up. Not only that, when it finishes loading, it steals focus, so if I am working on something else, now all my mouse commands and keyboard stokes are all in iTunes.
    - Is there anyway to stop iTunes from stealing focus? To just have it pop-up in the background and bounce for all I care, just not steal focus.
    Thanks!

    I already have iTunes configured so it doesn't open up when I plug my iPod touch in. What I don't like is when it steals focus after it's done syncing. Programs on Windows are supposed to "play nice" and not steal focus. They can request focus and flash the taskbar button, but that's it. So, if anyone knows how to prevent iTunes on Windows from stealing focus, I'd really appreciate it.

  • How can I retrieve desktop files being erased after updating my computer?

    How can I retrieve desktop files being erased after updating my computer?

    The easiest method would be to restore them from the last Time Machine backup made just prior to the update. 
    Or use a file recovery application to recovery them.  Most have a demo mode so you can determine if it can find the files you need before purchasing it.  Go to MacUpdate.com and do a search for "recover files" to get a list of potential candidates.

  • Change Itunes Desktop Icon

    How do I change the Itunes desktop icon to something more pleasing when the "Change Icon" button is greyed out in properties?

    It appears that you can't change the icon that iTunes creates in the All users desktop, but you can create a new one if you really care about this.
    Go to Program Files\iTunes, right click on iTunes.exe and select Send to>>Desktop (create shortcut). I think you will be able to change this icon.

  • Stop iTunes 11.0 from launching automatically when iPhone is connected?

    Hi all -
    Just got an iPhone 5 and connected it to my computer to charge. Discovered upon doing so that my version of iTunes is now upgraded to 11.0.  How do I stop iTunes 11.0 from automatically launching when I connect my iPhone?  I can't find an appropriate box to uncheck.  In the old version of iTunes, there were different things to uncheck for stopping automatic syncing and automatic launching.  Is this still the case?  If so I'd like to prevent launching but keep syncing.
    Thanks.

    Hummm, that's odd. I always have "Automatically sync when iPhone is connected" unchecked, it has been working fine untill this morning, out of the blue when I plug the iPhone 5 in, **** iTunes launchs itself Then an error message said the iTune could not connect to the iPhone5, meanwhile the iPhone keeps beeping because of that.
    It seems like Apple loves all these obnoxious automatic this and that features, they do it in iPhoto, XCode.... everything they make. Personally I like to have more control of what I want to do, I really HATE HATE HATE HATE HATE HATE HATE!! all the automatic these and that.
