What is it that resets the Music Location when iTunes starts?

So whenever you have your Music Location set to a mount on a remote device. Such as a share on a Time Capsule for instance if the mount isn't present when iTunes starts iTunes will always reset the Music Location back to it's default.
Is there a way to stop this from happening?
Can I make it so that mount is always available before iTunes or iTunes Helper starts?
Both I and my wife on her Air want to share the same remote device for our music library but we don't want iTunes to keep reseting the Music Location.

Option selects the iTunes library file, which is most likely in the /Music/iTunes folder on the Mac HD.
The iTunes music folder is on the Time Capsule which needs to be mounted.
As Robert noted, add the Time Capsule to your Login items.

If you are wondering why you are not getting any responses, it is because you have vented a complaint without any details that make any sense or give anyone something to work on.
If you want help, I suggest actually detailing what has happened, with versions of software etc. Anything that would let us assist.
As a start I am guessing that you have not really got the hang of "How it all works". Firstly download the Pages09_UserGuide.pdf from under the Help menu. Read that and view the Video Tutorials in the same place. A good addition would be the iWork 09 Missing manual book and something to help you learn how to use your Mac.
If there are specific tasks you need help with:

What's going on with the music?

What's going on with the music? When ever I am listening to music and I try to multi-task it randomly skips the song around. Sometimes even if my phone is locked it will skip back to random parts of the song. It has really started to big me. Please help. Oh yeah and this only started to happen after I updated my phone to iOS7

Haven't heard about a song including a virus and if so, it certainly was not included with a song purchased from the iTunes store.
If you sync music, deselect sync music under the Music tab for your iPhone sync preferences with iTunes followed by a sync. This will remove all music from your iPhone.
Reselect Sync Music and your previous selections should be selected automatically followed by a sync to re-transfer the music back to your iPhone.

Hi, When I try to sync my iphone not all the music in my itunes library syncs successfuly even though I have a lot of space left and I have the 'sync all music' option selected. Any idea? Thanks

While you're correct in that Windows media won't sync to the iPhone (or any i-device), the OP states that all the music is in iTunes. If its in iTunes, it would no longer be in Windows media format since it would have been transcoded to whatever the user sets as their import preference (AAC, mp3, etc.), and once that is done then the media should be able to sync to the iPhone just fine.
To Steph, do the missing songs play OK in iTunes? If not then they could be corrupted in some way. If they play fine in iTunes but don't sync, are they unchecked in iTunes? They won't sync to your iPhone if it is set to ignore unchecked items. Finally, if these are iTunes purchases, are they protected format? (i.e. m4p files) If so, is your computer authorized to play them? (you'd know if you try to play them in iTunes, it would prompt you for the account password if not authorized)

HT1719 I have music on my Shuffle and want to transfer it onto iTunes but when I go to Sync it, it warns me that all the music on my Shuffle will be deleted and replaced with what's on my iTunes. I have a new mac-mini and my old computer was an HP.

Can anyone tell me how to tranfer the music that is on my Shuffle to iTunes? When I go to Sync it, it gives me a warning that all the music on my Shuffle will be deleted and replaced with what is on my iTunes. I recently changed computers from an HP to a Mac-Mini and did not transfer/sync the itunes prior to getting rid of my itunes. So the music I had on itunes does not appear in my library. Help please!

See this excellent user tip from another forum member turingtest2 outlining the different methods and software available to help you copy content from your iPod back to your new Mac and into iTunes.

Then proceed to do the Erase and Sync or restore the device.

Track down the culprit that resets the system tray customization in Windows 7

The question is duplicated from http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/windows_7-performance/track-down-the-culprit-that-resets-the-system-tray/7cff4c95-4d08-4a7f-b29d-ce67d8cd6247 as suggested by a support engineer.
Hi Almighty All,
For a while I'm experiencing problems with my system tray. Something regularly resets my customization, i.e. after reboot sometimes all icons that I marked as to show always are hidden again. I found out that the reason is that something erases HCU\Software\Classes\Local
Settings\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\TrayNotify.
I decided to find out what is responsible. I turned on auidt policy for objects, then I setup audit for HCU\Software\Classes\Local Settings\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\TrayNotify. The next time the icons customization was reset I found out
that HCU\Software\Classes\Local Settings\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\TrayNotify was cleared again and on top of that the audit settings were gone! So I thought maybe something just removed the whole key altogether with the audit settings on the
way.
My next attempt was to set audit on HCU\Software\Classes\Local Settings\Software and just let Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\TrayNotify inherit it. The next time the icons customization was reset I found out that HCU\Software\Classes\Local Settings\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\TrayNotify
was cleared again and on top of that the audit settings were gone again! Something removed the whole HCU\Software\Classes\Local Settings\Software?
The Event Log points out to one of the svchost.exe processes, which is just a container for the whole bunch of different services.
Any idea how to find out what service is responsible?

Hi,
Interesting issue, what about other configuration or settings? Do they work fine or keep reverting after a reboot? Have you tested this issue in another user account? What is the result?
Regarding to unable to save settigs for current user hive, I doubt whether there's an application you installed recently or an malware\virus changes the permission of registry entry or value of registry keys like
HKCU\Software\Classes which causes this issue.

Hmm... I don't understand. Nothing is reverting after a reboot, as well I'm
not unable to save settings in the current user's hive. The correspondent registry keys can be saved perfectly fine and they are
deleted, not reverted after a reboot. I pointed to the exact code that does it, the code is located in Microsoft DLL with all certificates and digital signatures intact. Permissions obviously don't matter, since svchost.exe is executed with the highest
integrity level and under the System user account, the keys in question inherit permissions, which allow System to do whatever it needs without restrictions
by default, you can't change it to allow more.
So can you explain how it can be some malware?
The issue is intermittent, I don't have a 100% repro, therefore “testing” under another user account is doubtful.

I have copied over my music file to a new computer and the music shows on itunes but wont play. When I track where the song is located it is reading the wrong information. How do I change this as Edit Preferences has the right location

I have copied over my music files to a new computer and the music shows on itunes but wont play. When I track where the song is located it is reading the wrong information. How do I change this as Edit>Preferences has the right location?

Select one of the tracks with a broken link, press ctrl-i to Get Info. Say No when iTunes asks if you would like to locate the track, then look at the Summary tab for the location expects to find the file in.
Now try to locate the file in question. The two locations should give a clue as to what to do next.
Here is an example with a file I've deliberately moved from the new layout to the old pre-iTunes 9 layout.
This means iTunes is expecting to find the file at:
D:\iTunes\iTunes Media\Music\a-ha\Take On Me\01 Take On Me.mp3
but it isn't there because I've moved it to:
D:\iTunes\iTunes Media\a-ha\Take On Me\01 Take On Me.mp3
which is where it would have lived back in iTunes 8 (though the media folder would have been called iTunes Music back then as well).
If you can provide the expected and actual locations of a broken track I should be able to suggest the easiest way to resolve things.

Because the location for each song in your library is on your hard drive. If the hard drive isn't there, how can iTunes play it?
You'll have to move/copy the music from your hard drive to your computer's hard drive.
Basically, EASIEST way to do all this, if you don't care about your play counts, etc...
-Delete EVERYTHING from iTunes, so that your library is now empty.
-Go to "Advanced" inside of the "Preferences" window, found in the "Edit" drop-down. You can also access Preferences by pressing Ctrl+, (Press Ctrl and the comma key)
-Change your iTunes Media Folder Location to something simple, but on your computer. I use C:/iTunes. Make sure "Keep iTunes Media Folder Organized" and "Copy files to...." are both checked. You can close Preferences now.
-Now, drag and drop your music from your hard drive into your iTunes library. iTunes will automatically add the music to your library, as you would expect, and also creates a copy of each file to place into that iTunes Media Folder you just created.
Shouldn't have any more problems...

Do you have iTunes match? You need a computer to manage an iTunes match library.

I have never had a passcode to lock my iPad. Now that I have updated it with IOS7 it is asking for one and is locked. How do I unlock this without having to reset the whole thing through iTunes????

Unfortunately, if the iPad is insisting that you use a passcode, there is no way around it other than to restore the device using iTunes on a computer, or by erasing it in iCloud.com via Find My iPhone.
You could try resetting the iPad and cross your fingers and hope this is just a blip on the radar....hold down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10 seconds until the Apple logo appears on the screen.

T-code that resets the counts in the storage bins

As we do our weekly counts it keeps a running total of how many bin are completed and allows us to track the warehouse's progress.

Edit: may be a bad sign for you, maybe no standard t-code if we had to create a custum one

Some of the information below has subsequently appeared in a document by turingtest2: Recovering your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device - https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-3991
Your i-device was not designed for unique storage of your media. It is not a backup device and media transfer was planned with you maintaining a master copy of your media on a computer which is itself properly backed up against loss. Syncing is one way, computer to device, updating the device content to the content on the computer, not updating or restoring content on a computer. The exception is iTunes Store purchases which can be transferred to a computer.
iTunes Store: Transferring purchases from your iOS device or iPod to a computer - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1848 - only purchases from iTunes Store
For transferring other items from an i-device to a computer you will have to use third party commercial software. Examples (check the web for others; this is not an exhaustive listing, nor do I have any idea if they are any good):
