Upgrading iTunes requires preferences to be reset each time

Very frustrating. I use iTunes to rip my CD's to MP3's rather than AAC and put them on a non-OS drive. But everytime I upgrade iTunes, it resets all my preferences. Is this Apple getting even with me because I use a windows system? Does the same thing happen on a Mac? I would also like the option within iTunes to delete the actual music file from the hard drive rather than only removing it from the library. I've been going through my MP3 and CD collection and ripping everything again to a higher sample rate. If I can't fix this, I may go back to MusicMatch and use that to rip CD's then just import the files into iTunes.

iTunes stores my prefs on my Mac and they are always the same whenever I return to iTunes. Perhaps it has to do with your permissions on your user. I doubt Apple is punishing you for using Windows. They just let Microsoft do that job. If you let iTunes store your music in the iTunes Music Folder in your home folder it will ask you if you want to put the file in the Trash when you delete it from the library. If you store your music elsewhere then you have to delete it yourself.

  • Ipod Freezes must reset each time to mount

    HI, 8GB nano. Recently, every time I connect my nano it does not mount in itunes and it freezes. I can unplug it, hit the reset (center and menu), and replug it in and it will mount and sync fine. Next time though, same thing will happen. Even seconds after a sync. This is new problem and I can't fix it. Any ideas? My other 1st gen ipod mounts fine. Thanks

    I have the same problem, also starting immediately after upgrading to itunes 8.
    Oddly enough, I had the same issue before, and it turned out to be due to the fact that I was using my boyfriend's iphone USB cable (since it doesn't have the annoying little buttons you have to push in to remove it from the ipod, which require pulling out the earbuds every time I sync, talk about a design flaw!). When I switched back to the nano USB cable, everything was fine for a few months, until I stupidly decided to install itunes 8, and now it freezes every single time I plug it in. I reset the ipod (leaving it plugged in), and when it turns back on, I get a message telling me that an unknown USB device is attached to my computer. I pull the USB cable, plug it back in, and then it syncs normally. I've tried restoring the ipod and reinstalling itunes, neither worked. It is still under warranty, so I may try to get it replaced, but the nearest Apple store is hours away and I've been hoping a software update might help. Any other suggestions would be much appreciated!

  • My preferences in Finder Resets every time I open it

    Am having some teething trouble with the new Finder application in OSX Lion.
    Seems to work ok, but I'd like to add some items to the sidebar. Easy enough to do this via preferences, however each time I reopen Finder it has reset the sidebar back to it's default settings, and have to manually add it again.
    Is this normal? very frustrating to have to add it every time I open it.

  • Passcode must be reset each time return to main menu button is pressed

    I am an IT help desk professional and have come across an issue with the Iphone 4. One of our employees recently purchased one and I installed Exchange on it so she could receive business emails. She had no passcode installed on the phone, but due to the sensitive content of our email, when the Exchange profile is installed it automatically forces it. Now, each time she presses the button at the bottom of the phone to get back to the main menu, it requires her to reset her password. We took the forced passcode out of her profile for now but need to find a solution so she can be passcode protected. Has anyone else see this occur??

  • IPod 60GB resets each time it turns on?

    Is it normal for a 60GB iPod to reset...so the apple logo shows up...each time the ipod is turned on? It's never happened to me before and its annoying. Also, how loud is the ipod's HDD supposed to be, I find that when I tip my ipod from side to side, I hear a faint screeching noise.

    After 14 hours of inactivity, the iPod goes into hibernation mode. After this, it will appear to reset when started again.

  • Curve 9360 Blackberry ID, other Apps stop syncing after about 2 hrs, must reset each time

    I have a new Curve 9360, downloaded google sync, voice, and maps, but not much more.  After about 2 hrs or so, all applications including Blackberry ID, google sync, voice, and maps stop updating.  When I go to Blackberry ID Account, it gives error "Unable to retrieve your Blackberry ID account information."  But after a hard or soft reset all applications work for about 2 hrs.  I have already performed a "Factory Reset" with the Blackberry Desktop Software.
    It seems like it must be a global setting that gets changed after a few hours each time.
    Anyone else have this problem? Any suggestions?
    Thanks.

    Also the os that's installed is the 1st os 7 released if I'm not mistaken and buggy best to update to latest os.
    Once update is do not install all 3rd party applications immediatley some maybe incompatible with os 7. Install 1 at a time and test phones response for a few days.

  • Font sizing and Encoding information are reset each time

    I am using iSql*plus against a UTF8 database to view multilingual text .. I found that I have to reset the encoding and the size information on the IE browser each time I execute a SELECT statement ...
    For example I have select ename from emp ... Now change my encoding to UTF8 and Font size to Large ... Next amend the statement to select one more column say deptno, the sizing and encoding information is reset and I need to set them again .. Is this a known issue ?

    Peter,
    We've managed to reproduce the problem in-house. It doesn't seem to occur in Navigator, but does in IE. I suspect it may be a problem with IE, but I'm not sure. I've logged a bug and it will be looked at.
    Thanks for reporting it.

  • ITunes erases what I've copied each time I open iTunes after transferring

    I'm at my wits end, hope someone can help.
    I have a new iPod and downloaded iTunes. I started transferring my CDs via iTunes and synced them up with my ipod with no problems. However, after the first initial 20 CDs or so, I shut the computer down and the next day wanted to continue. First, the music was no longer there. Then, when I transferred the same CDs again to iTunes, thinking it was just my error in some way, when I tried to sync my ipod up again, I got the error message that my iPod is linked with another iTunes library, and to sync with this 'new' one I need to delete the old files off the iPod. So I did. Now this SAME thing has happened again. This is a brand new ipod.
    Basically iTunes is 'new' each time I open it (with no files) and does not recognize my ipod as being synced with it.
    I hope this makes sense.
    Thanks in advance for any tips
    cheers

    Welcome to AD!
    Vaio users worldwide have been seeing this problem. Some Sony software causes a conflict with iTunes. You need to set the Sony Content Folder Watcher to leave the iTunes folder alone.
    Looks like Sony may have put out an update for that in Asia:

    Contact Sony to see if they have an update for your model, or configure its software to leave itunes alone.
    There is a way to configure the sony software - I don't have a Vaio, but this older topic has directions

  • ITunes not working on my computer each time open iTunes appear a window " iTunes has stopped working close the program "

    Hi, I have a problem with iTunes on my computer each time when try open iTunes appear a window " iTunes has stopped working... close a program " someone can help me how fix it.

    See HT203206: iTunes for Windows Vista, Windows 7, or Windows 8: Fix unexpected quits or launch issues.
    For general advice see Troubleshooting issues with iTunes for Windows updates.
    The steps in the second box are a guide to removing everything related to iTunes and then rebuilding it which is often a good starting point unless the symptoms indicate a more specific approach. Review the other boxes and the list of support documents further down the page in case one of them applies.
    The further information area has direct links to the current and recent builds in case you have problems downloading, need to revert to an older version or want to try the iTunes for Windows (64-bit - for older video cards) release as a workaround for installation or performance issues, or compatibility with QuickTime or third party software.
    Your library should be unaffected by these steps but there are also links to backup and recovery advice should it be needed.

  • [FlashPro CC & AIR] Icons are reset each time I change the target Air Platform

    Hi guys,
    I have an annoying bug with my Flash CC : I'm building an Air app and each time I change the target platform (either Android or iOS or Windows) the <icon> tag is cleaned... so I have to set all the icons files again. Each and every time. All the icons.
    Is it a known bug ? Is there a fix ? Is it a feature ? I tried to uninstall and clean all the cache, it does nothing. I have Flash CC on my work computer and on my laptop and the problem is on both computers...
    I have the latest version of Flash CC and it's not linked to an Air version.
    Thanks in advance for your help !
