Why do all of my icons on my desktop get replaced with itunes icons?

Seriously, this is annoying. every time i install itunes, every single program/shortcut on my desktop and start menu is replaced with an itunes icon. please help me?

Hi Guido,
I did the following steps more than 3 times, always getting the same result:
Import a picture of my libary (import resolution set to 4MP)
duplicate the picture layer, and set the top one to invisible
extracting a part of the lower picture using the lasso tool and the refine edge tool
setting the extracted part as a new layer above the old one
(editing contrast or bluring the lower layer, I was not always getting as far, sometimes it already deleted the layers one step above)
The tool selected when the issue occurred was nearly always either the boxed selection or the lasso selection tool. I had 3-5 layers at the moment it occurred. One of them set to invisible the others to full opacity.
Also I noticed, that when selecting or extracting the part of a picture, it takes far longer to load and the application sometimes gets unresponsive during that time (after this, sometimes also the layers disappeared).
Thanks for the quick answer!
Florian

I downloaded the lates version of iTunes. Now, every icon on my desktop now is the iTunes icon and will only launch iTunes. The same is true with almost everything in "All Programs" from my start menu. Uninstalling brought desktop back to normal.

After upgrading to the latest version of iTunes, it changed all desktop icons to the iTunes icon and will only launch iTunes. I uninstalled and reinstalled iTunes and the same problem occured. Help.

Yes i've tried all of that. I've turned it all the way on and off and erased all of my music and put it back on and nothing works. And with the breaking up CDs and putting into compilation categories i have already fixed all of that stuff. It's fine it just doesn't show up in the list of artists. I can find the album in the songs category and the albums category it's just it doesn't show tha name of the artist. All of the other albums that i downloaded before i updated my itunes to th most recent update are fine. It's just the two that i downloaded afterwards. Thanks for trying though.

Right click the video, go to Settings and then remove the checkmark from "Enable Hardware Acceleration".

I'm trying to hook up my Macbook Pro to my TV. I'm using the 'mini-display port to female HDMI" adapter. all i can see is my desktop background. no folders or icons and when i play a movie it goes blank.

Drag applications from your main desktop off the right side of the screen and they will appear on the TV. This is the extended desktop mode.

My Ipad 2 have frozen with itunes icon alot , I bring to apple store fix it alot , but bring home use only a week , ipad have same broblem again , I very tired and mad because I pay alot money for apple but they give me bad ipad , future I thing about samsung tablet . Now my ipad still have a problem I am very upset this ****.

For what it's worth, you posted this in 2011, and here in 2014 I am still having this same issue. Over the last two days, I have had to unlock my apple account 8 times. I didn't get any new devices. I haven't initiated a password reset. I didn't forget my password. I set up two factor authentication and have been able to do the unlocking with the key and using a code sent to one of my devices.
That all works.
It's this having to unlock my account every time I go to use any of my devices. And I have many: iMac, iPad, iPad2, iPad mini, iPhone 5s, iPod touch (daughter), and my old iPhone 4 being used as an ipod touch now. They are all synced, and all was working just fine.
I have initiated an incident with Apple (again) but I know they are just going to suggest I change my Apple ID. It's a simple one, and one that I am sure others think is theirs. I don't want to change it. I shouldn't have to. Apple should be able to tell me who is trying to use it, or at least from where.
Thanks for listening,
Melissa

All I get is usb icon with iTunes icon on iphone5-.

Posted earlier, but brand new iphone5 is locked,unresponsive. Have tried everything including trying to restore from itunes. Regardless, all I ever get on iphone is the uSB icon/with itunes icon (like it is asking you to connect to pc). I have tried windows, mac machines plus different USB cable still no luck. Is there anyway I can unbrick my phone?

Once the Device is asking to be Restored with iTunes... it is too late to save anything...
To minimise loss... Connect to iTunes on the computer you Usually Sync with and Restore from the most recent Backup...

Erased all content on 3G but now won't sync with iTunes. Error states, "This iPhone cannot be used because the Apple Mobile Device service is not started." I don't want phone service on this old 3G. Just want to use it as an iTouch. Any suggestions?

Can't get rid of itunes icon on desktop

Already have iTunes showing on dock on bottom of display and now have iTunes icon on desktop display as well. Tried dragging it into trash but then I can't open iTunes from the dock without dragging desktop icon out of trash to and back to the desktop. Tried dragging desktop icon onto dock and into already existing iTunes icon already on the dock. Nothing i've tried seems to work. How to I get rid of this desktop icon?

Hi bkbl?
Welcome to Apple Discussions
First check in Applications to see if there is an iTunes icon there?
If so then just drag the one on your Desktop to the dock, make sure it works and then drag the old one off.

You may need to put the iPad in recovery mode to restore it.
