What kind of programs causes itunes symbols to replace most of my other symbols on my desktop?

i dont know how to fix this but i think its cause there is a program on my computer that is causing itunes to appear all glitchy.  yes i downloaded the right itunes, yes i have the newest version.  what happens is that itunes just opens up all of a sudden and when i have a different program running the itunes window just jumps to the front and causes me to mess up whatever i am doing.  then the next day when i open up any other program itunes opens instead of the program i clicked.  so i have to completely uninstall itunes nd thn reinstall it nd it works fine for a day or two.  now its gotten to the point where everytime i install it 90% of the programs on my desktop, the actual symbols turns into the symbol for itunes.

now its gotten to the point where everytime i install it 90% of the programs on my desktop, the actual symbols turns into the symbol for itunes.
First I'd set up a System Restore point. Then try applying the LNK registry fix from the following document:
File Association Fixes for Windows 7
Does that get your icons back to normal?

  • What kind of programming background do you need to start making iOS apps?

    I have zero knowledge of programming. I have done programming about 7 years ago and it was extremely basic stuff and mostly to do with C. I have learnt BASIC language (wonder if its even worth mentioning) in school!! But, I really want to program. Even if it takes a long time. How do I get started??

    Your question "What kind of programming background do you need to start making iOS apps?" does not have a single answer. Thanks to the internet, nowadays its possible to start from zero. You can find an answer for even the most basic question on the internet. It just a question of time and effort. If you have
    the time
    no pressing deadline and a
    high frustration tolerance
    just go ahead and do it.

  • What kind of online backup tools does iCS have? And are other backup mechanisms supported?

    And are other backup mechanisms supported?
    <P>
    With iCS2.x, the admin utilities provide `csbackup` command to backup
    individual calendar or the whole calendar database. Solstice/Legato
    backup functionality is also available. The advantage with the Legato
    backup is that the administrator can, in addition, perform backup per user.
    (Legato backup utilizes csbackup and csrestore for calendar backup/restore.)
    Please refer to the section on Backup and Restore Procedures in the
    iPlanet Calendar Server Administration Guide:
    http://developer.iplanet.com/docs/manuals/calendar/ics20/calag/calagadm.htm#1062608
    Although it is not yet documented in the 2.x Admin guide, <b>`csbackup -l`</b>
    is the command used for initiating Legato backup directory structure (refer to
    Step 1 under Backing Up Calendar Server Data).

  • What Kinde of program should I use for mastering?

    I had a litle problem with mastering my songs what I made with Logic Pro X is not enough laud. I need some help that what is a program to use mastering?

    You can master your tracks in logic. Bounce the song and import into a fresh logic project, then just apply your mastering processes there. However, mastering is a task that does require a very special skill set and a very good listening environment. Just having the software doesn't make a good master.

  • What kind of a program did HP company use to compress its Software?

    Hi,
    I have noticed that some Most HP software can be downloaded as standalone programs  which are  compressed files (like what is in this screen shot below)  which will need to be extracted before being installed?
    Thus, I am wondering what kind of Data compression do those files have? I didn't see that WinRAR, WinZip or other achieving programs recognised such files.
    When I open compressed file above, then it was extracted into a folder called 'swsetup' in this path C:\swsetup
    My question is What kind of program did HP company use to compress those files?

    Huffer wrote:
    I believe it may be a .tar file. I am able to extract the files in the SP file in Linux using good old tar gunzip into its various components. It is turned into a self-extractor which runs as a DOS executable.
    Thanks a lot,
    I am using a Windows 7 Home premium 64Bit, I have built-in Winzip with Windows 7. Also, I have a WinRar a third-party archiving program be installed on my windows. But neither of them recognised the HP compressed files, or otherwise the look of HP compressed file would look like 'WinRaR' icon.
    Yes, when I clicked on that File name(softpaq): sp68201-V(7.4.45.4), I saw that file was extracted into a folder called 'swsetup' under this path C:\swsetup', Then the setup showed to me.  However, I still don't know what program extracted that compressed HP file? Could you kindly enlighten me?

  • Don't know what kind of application I should use to make this kind of proj.

    I am going to make a project and I am not sure what kind of program would work for this document I want to make. The project I would like to make is of a type like a family tree, or a reverse sports playoff grid, where you start out with a few headers that branch out laterally and are linked with lines (just like a family tree graph) to many different headers. I want to have each of these headers as hyperlinks that you can click on to read more text/data/pictures about each header. I want to be able to add and edit it after I created it without major adjustments to the whole thing. Is this a clear question? Any help would be great. Thanks.

  • With Windows Vista, the most recent Itunes update 1/30/2014 has caused Itunes not to work, with a Mscvr80.dll not found error. Uninstalled all Apple programs, and installed fresh Itunes. Same problem. Tried to reinstall using an older install exe nogo

    Recent ITunes update has caused ITunes not to work. Tried uninstalling all Apple products and reinstalling fresh. Still doesn't work. Tried reinstalling from an old install.exe. Install went nicely but program won't start as it says it can't open the library file.

    Now that I have no way of accessing any of the products I have purchased from ITunes, I will most certainly never use ITunes again for any reason. Why throw good money after bad?  I will use another MP3 player that is not as cumbersome or proprietary.
    Lesson learned.

  • My computer crashed necessitating re-install of op sys and all programs including iTunes. At the iTunes store when I click a song in my library get error message "can't find, do you want to search?" What's happening? How can I listen to my library on this

    My computer crashed necessitating re-install of operating sys and all programs including iTunes. When I click on a song in my library I get an error message "can't find this song, want to search?" What gives? How can I listen to songs in my library on this computer now?

    It is working now. I no longer get the message about the item not being available in the US and I can access the store.

  • HT1766 I am trying to up date my phone to iOS7 and now my phone is stuck with the itunes symbol and a connect to computer picture and I can't use my phone. I attached the phone to computer and have downloaded itunes to my computer but I have no idea what

    I am trying to update my phone and the phone is frozen on a screen that has the itunes symbol and the computer connection showing.
    I did not have itunes on my computer.
    So I downloaded itunes set up which took an hour or so.
    Now what do I do?

    Please check 2 things in your computer.
    1. Right click 'My Computer'  => Manage  =>  Services & Applications  =>  Services.  Look for Apple Mobile Service at the top.  Status must be STARTED.  If stop, please start it.
    2. Open iTunes in computer.  For Windows 7, go to iTunes Store  =>  Authorise this Computer  => key-in your Apple ID and password when prompted.  For Windows 8, press ALT and S together.  A pop-up window would show information of authorising computer.  Click Authorise this Computer  => key-in your Apple ID and password when prompted.
    Good luck

    I also have an iTunes Match acccount.

    HI
    Read this user tip Make and keep a backup of your iTunes library, and only stream from the cloud.
    Problems? No hidden catches. Whilst streaming using match, you will need a wifi connection. You main worry is that if your NAS drives fails, you need to redownload your music from match but this could take time depending on how large your collection is. Personally I keep an additional backup of all my music as a matter of course.

  • HT1414 i was asked to update my ipad to the newesr version of OS7-it was like OS7.2 or whatever, and my screen is now frozen with the iTunes symbol in the middle and the connector cord profile and arrow pointing at it.  What should I do?

    I was prompted to update my ipad from OS 7 to  OS 7.2 and did so.  Now my ipad is frozen with the itunes symbol in the middle of the screen and the profile of the cord with an upward arrow toward the itunes symbol.  What should I do?

    Do what the picture is trying to tell you to do:  connect your iPhone to the computer you normally use to sync, and restore the iPhone from iTunes on that computer.
