Why did iTunes install to Win7 change all executables to iTunes executables

?
Icons have all become iTunes icons. Targets all read as they did before: firefox.exe, etc. But double-clicking opens iTunes in all cases.
Ideas?
Thanks ~

No real idea why this happened; but in case it's happened to anyone else, a solution was found here:

I didn't create it, and can't guarantee that it will be available at this URL in perpetuity. But it did work.

  • Why did iTunes move my archived podcasts to the cloud?

    I want my podcasts archived on my computer... which they were.  Why did iTUnes move them?  They were files on my computer, some of which I paid for and which were not downloaded from iTunes.  Now I have to download them again.  This "feature" is invasive and blatantly stupid.

    The iTunes Match tutorial says you can share all music, even music you added from other sources. Is this a lie?
    No, it was not a lie but the music must be in the iTunes library. It doesn't matter what the source for the music is, though.

    If I download music from other sources, the music is added to my library right alongside any other music I have on my phone. There is no way to get it into iTunes if I didn't buy it there.
    I'm afraid I don't understand what you mean. Do you not know how to add music to the iTunes library? It is very easy: pull down File > Add to library. You can add any supported file format to iTunes, not everything has to be purchased from the iTunes Store.

    When I updated to the latest IOS last night, why did the photo events date change?

    The problem is that the Add-ons Manager tab when opened the first time, is on "Get Add-ons" section and that must be downloaded from the Add-ons server which might be overburdened.

  • Why did my calendar view suddenly change? Using iOS 7.1 and I've been using this version for a few weeks with no problem with my calendar. Now the view has changed and I can't view a list mode without seeing the month too

    Why did my calendar view suddenly change in iCal? I've been using ios7 fôr a few weeks now with no problems. Suddenly, without any updates or anything, the calendar view changed and I can no longer view it as a list without having the entire month seen as well.

    Hey Gattypyle,
    Thanks for the question. You simply need to go back to Day/Week view, then tap the list-view icon once more.

  • In the Flash Builder Plugin version, why did it install another "alternate Eclipse"?

    In the Flash Builder 4 Plug-in installer I just ran, why did it install whats seems to be another copy of Eclipse in my "C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Adobe Flash Builder 4 Plug-in" folder, along with a shortcut called "Run Adobe Flash Builder 4 Plug-in with alternate Eclipse"?
    I was only expecting a plug-in in my current Eclipse installation. What is going on here?

    Hi Pup500,
    FB4 Plug-in comes bundled with the full Eclipse 3.4.2 (Ganymede) Package for Java Developers, and also supports linking FB4 to your own copy of eclipse 3.5 (Galileo) or 3.6 (Helios).
    We considered bundling one of the larger Packages (Eclipse for PHP Developers, etc.), but wanted to keep the footprint smaller, and the package for Java Developers was the smallest one that still includes the JDK.
    The shortcut for the "alternate" should point to your own copy of eclipse, and the default launcher shortcut should point to the bundled copy under the subfolder \eclipse-host-distro. The default shortcut will launch eclipse/FB4 using our bundled copy of the JRE, but the alternate shortcut assumes that you either have a compatible JRE installed system-wide, or that you have a valid JRE folder in your eclipse folder.
    Some of the reasons we started bundling eclipse with FB4 Plug-in were:
    - the custom configuration (ini file settings, memory allocation, etc.) provided in the bundled copy of eclipse can be used as a guide for optimizing your own eclipse configuration, for improved performance with FB4.
    - on Win, we bundle a compatibility-tested version of the JRE for use with the bundled copy of eclipse. This can come in handy on 64-bit Win, as we provide a 32-bit version of the JRE compatible with FB4. You can copy this same JRE folder into your own copy of 32-bit eclipse, if you wish to avoid installing a system-wide version of 32-bit java.
    - if you encounter any version or bundle conflicts with your own copy of eclipse, you can still run the bundled copy as a fallback, until any problems are resolved.
    Out of curiosity, which version and package of eclipse are you plugging into?
    -Chris

  • Why did they take out the add all songs option with IOS7

    Why did they take out the add all songs option with IOS7

    I can not read the minds of the Adobe engineers or Marketing people. Nesting a sequence is not much more trouble than applying an effect.
    If you are creating a PIP, then a nested sequence is probably your solution. If you are not nesting, scale and crop, then put a white matte under it.
    This is not a great place for asking questions that have no answers outside of internal Adobe decisions. This is, however, a great place to get workarounds.

  • Why did iTunes take out the category, "AIFF or mp3 encoder" on their latest version?

    I make CDs for use in my carr so it is valuable to me to know which version of a song is on iTunes:  either AIFF, or mp3.  The previous versions offered these specs for a category as a column listing in the library but the latest version doesn't;  if you don't remember where you last had it set you have to check in prefs., then hit "import settings" which is annoying when you're compiling for a CD.
    Why did they take that category out (under "view options") or am I wrong and you can tell me where I can find it?
    Thanks

    Dear loeezy,
    Sorry you felt offended by my post. That was not my intent and I never suggested you were stupid.
    Your post was a bit confusing because you were describing unrelated things.
    I was simply trying to explain a few things to help you out. Seems it did not work.
    My apologies.
    Please check out exactly the directions I wrote about "import settings".  I believe you will find the active button, "import settings" next to "ask to import CD" which is next to the words "when you import a CD:" under the heading, "General" in the pull-down menu, Preferences. 
    Yes, I understand what the Import Settings are and how to change them.
    However, Import Settings has nothing to do with burning a CD or selecting file types for adding to a playlist.
    Since it is not needed for making a playlist or burning a CD, I don't understand why it would "annoying".
    If you are burning a data or MP3 CD and only want specific file types, then you need to know what format of the files you add to a playlist are but that still has no relevance to what your current Import Settings are.
    And no, iTunes will NOT "convert the file as needed" if you want one song in both formats.
    If you are burning an audio CD, the result is one format. Audio CD.
    That is why I wrote, "If you are burning an audio CD the format is irrelevant", because iTunes will convert AIFF, WAV, MP3, AAC & Apple Lossless to audio CD format.
    Next time read the question thoroughly, make sure you do have the right version, and test what the the person is saying
    I did read thoroughly and understand exactly what you wrote.
    In the end, seems all you really needed was how to view the Kind column.
    Seems you have sorted out your issue so good luck.

  • Why did itunes crash corrupt my whole computer?

    i hate itunes so much! i tried to download some tunes and the files were corrupted on apples end, it wouldnt let me download them, it kept giving me errors. then you know what happened, itunes lost my whole library, then you know what happened, all my prefrences for all my applications suddenly disappreared. i have no bookmarks, no email settings, nothing. im sooooo ****** off right now its not even funny.
    why did the crash of itunes screw up my whole computer? and what can i do to bring it back to the way it was before itunes blew it up?
    this is unacceptable. because of this, i will never buy anythig from itunes store again.

    Welcome to the Apple Discussion
    I'm sorry to hear of your problems. However, I wonder if iTunes screwed up your computer? Perhaps there's another, core issue with your Hard Disk? Have you run any Hardware Diagnostics?

  • Why did my sign in screen change from black to red?

    For no obvious reason (which frustrates me the most out of any computer issue...) my computer sign in screen has changed from back to a pale red color. Though the computer still seems to be working properly *(except a bug change in iPhoto), I want to know if something bad is coming. People usually want to know why something they paid for is changing. Do I need to worry?
    * iPhoto has decided to not import my new photos from my card and reader. It got started, and somewhere on the way sat there with nothing to show something was working.... the whirling thing or anything at all. When checking on it, by clicking on "eject" or trying to leave iPhoto, or even turn the computer off, it popped up a message saying to was still importing photos. It stayed like that for a day. I had to force quit but that's not an answer .What's going on? Can I trust importing photos again?

  • HT4623 Why Did this update result in changes to the apple id on my phone?

    Why did the recent  update cause so many problems on my new iphone?

    The update would not result in changes to your Apple ID.
    As for your other question it is impossible to answer since you haven't mentioned any specific problems.
    I (and millions of others) updated to iOS 6.1.3 with no problems whatsoever.
    What problems do you have? It is possible that some corruption occurred when you were updating your iPhone.
