Why is iTunesHelper only showing up in 1 of my 3 accounts?

Hello,
This question pertains to the "iTunesHelper" application. It is a mysterious application that apparently runs in the background to enable the connection of ipods. This is from some info I obtained from google and on this apple discussion forum.
Before I knew what "iTunesHelper" was, I considered deleting it from my login items however I think I will just leave it because I am sure Apple OSX has a good reason for putting it there.
Here's my question:
I have three accounts. Why is the "iTunesHelper" application only listed in the login items of only one of my three accounts?
The "iTunesHelper" application shows up only in the login items of the first account I set up. Then, I set up two more accounts and the "iTunesHelper" does not appear in their login items. Does this mean that itunes and ipods will only work properly with my first account?
Should I try to figure out a way to add it to my other two accounts? Should I delete it from my first account? I have a feeling I will just leave it and all is OK but I thought I would see if anyone else had any thoughts on this mysterious application and if there is any problem with the fact it only appears in 1 of my 3 accounts.
PS. Here is where you will find the "iTunesHelper" application listed as a login item:
system preferences/accounts/login items/
Another funny thing about iTunesHelper is that many references to it are from people with PCs running Windows. I am using a mac and I see it listed in my login items. i wonder if it has any purpose on macs or if later Apple might make use of it more.

Thanks Roger for your helpful reply,
If this is the case, then I have a problem because since I set up my computer I removed the "admin" designation from the first account and instead I assigned the "admin" designation to the second account that I set up. Because iTunesHelper only shows up on the first account (which is no longer "admin"), my system no longer has iTunesHelper on the admin account (when you login the admin account, iTunesHelper is not in the list of login items). iTunesHelper is only in my first account which is a non-admin account. Is this a problem?
Does this mean that my current admin account (the second account I set up) and my third account (a non-admin account) will not have access to iTunesHelper? And if so, is this a problem?
What if the account that happens to have iTunesHelper is rarely used (never logged into)? Will the other accounts never be able to make use of iTunesHelper if the iTunesHelper account (the first account - regardless of whether it is admin or non-admin) is never logged into?
There must be some way to control or assign which accounts have iTunesHelper as a login item.
My only explanation is that iTunesHelper may not be important.
Could anyone offer any insite on this?
Thanks

    why is 8gb only showing total memory of less than 6.5?

    Because the difference is due to the operating system taking up most of the diference and the other is how GB is advertised and actually used.

  • SAPScript:  why the window only show the LAST line

    all of those sy-subrc = 0.
    both static texts and dynamic texts are set  in the window,   but only the last line shown.
    Anyone could help me?

    Hi,
    There are several possibilities to resolve your problem.
    You can work with 2 main windows on in1 page.
    With NEW-WINDOW you switch to the next main-window
    How to use it.
    make an item in main window with that /: NEW-WINDOW command
    if you are ready with first loop call a WRITE_FORM with that NEW-WINDOW statement.
    to cojntinue in the other main.
    Other possibility is. (in case there are not ot many lines)
    Use for every line other variable names.
    Fill these in the loop. And after loop WRITE FORM
    eg. (if maximum is 3 lines)
    &VAR1_1& &VAR1_2& &VAR1_3& &VAR1_4&
    &VAR2_1& &VAR2_2& &VAR2_3& &VAR2_4&
    &VAR3_1& &VAR3_2& &VAR3_3& &VAR3_4&
    Hope this helps.

  • Why does history only shows sites visited in current session?

    I use history to go back to sites I have visited but history only shows where I have been in the current session. It only has todays sites to choose from and those are only from the current session. I.e if i go to a site in the morning and go to visit it in the afternoon there is no trace of it. I share this computer and dont want to clutter up the bookmarks page.

    Are you clearing history when shutting down Firefox? Check in Options > Privacy and see if "Clear history when Firefox closes" is checked. If so, click the Settings button and see what is set to be cleared.

  • Why is firefox only showing today and yesterday's history?

    firefox will only show me today and yesterday's history, how can i see the history before that? i did clear recent history a few days ago but i should have more history then just today's and yesterday's.

    '''''Firefox Settings > Privacy'''''. About the middle of the page is the label;
    '''History.''' Next to '''Firefox will''', select;
    '''Use custom settings for history'''.<BR><BR>
    Deselect '''Always use private''' if it is on.<BR>
    Select '''Remember browser / download history.'''<BR>
    <BR>If you want, you can decide how the other setting should be.<BR><BR>
    If you want, select; '''Clear history when Firefox closes'''. Then, press the
    '''Settings''' button on the far right. Then choose what is removed. You can
    set this up as you wish. On mine, I only have the '''clear cache''' option on.

  • Why does A3 only show low rez unedited photos after DB restore.

    After restoring my Aperture 3 DB w/Time Machine, I only see VERY low resolution versions without the cropping and other adjustments applied.  Once I click on them, it loads the full version and applies the cropping, straightening and other adjustments.  I have 24,000 photos and don't want to hit enter on each one to be able to see a decent version of the photo.

    I am rebuilding the previews now, but with 24,000 photos, it will take ll day long.  That looks like the solution, but why were the previews not restored when I restored the Aperture DB?   Should I have restored something else as well?

  • Why is Firefox only showing part of my Gmail login menu?

    I log into my Gmail using a nav button on FIrefox entitled 'Google Mail - Inbox'. Whether it appeared there automatically or I put it there, it has worked fine. Today, it doesn't, I instead get an odd Google menu which shows only the text of (what I assume is) my Google account. Can one attach a file with a screenshot here, can't see any attachment facility? They say it may be caused by a broken or slow browser connection, but then Google do tend to clutch at straws. I need to work out whether the problem is Google, Firefox or both.
    Can't open the 'Troubleshooting info' box below. I am on a Mac PPC G5 on Firefox 3.6.28, which Firefox keeps threatening to pull but hasn't done so yet.

  • I have a 16g ipad2 why does it only show I have 13.8g

    When I first bought my ipad2 it showed 16g now it states my capability is only 13.8g, with 7.1g free. I have added and the deleted apps .

    That is due to,space taken up by the OS and other necessary files. It is normal (not only for the iPad, but pretty much any computing device).

  • Why do I only show 3 posts?

    Not so long ago, I was a level 3 user with a couple thousand posts. Was all that wiped clean?
    I see some people still have over a thousand posts to their credit: have they made all those posts since the forums have been redone? Or did they get to keep their original running total?
    Are levels gone for good? What about voting? (I won't miss that).
    Just curious.
    Thanks.

    what was wrong with the old method? In my eyes
    nothing. It seems like everytime somebody thinks
    something or something is better its not. I
    personally do not feel like going back and updating
    everthing and I won't. If I've lost all my ratings
    and or level thats it for the apple discussion
    panel....
    Hope that this is cleared up quickly
    Regardles of what is brought back or lost, the discussion panels will still remain a valuable source of knowledge and help: too valuable to abandon over loss of points or levels, IMO.
    I can't say as I wouldn't be a little disappointed not to see number of posts and/or levels returned, just because I find it a handy way to gauge the qualifications of an answer (a fellow with 10,000 posts must know something!).
    Either way, I do appreciate and respect Apple's efforts to improve this site. It remains a valuable resource. If speed and ease of use result from these changes, then they'll be worth our temporary loss of comfort zone. Change for the sake of change is not necessarily good (though does have some merit, regardless), but I sincerely doubt the site developers have gone through this change simply to get us users in an uproar. I've learned to have faith in the brains behind Apple: they haven't ceased to amaze and impress me yet (one of the few stocks that has consistently grown over the last several years).
    One final word: if we were to resist change just to avoid discomfort and inconvenience, we may well still be using OS 9 (shudder). And I know, some will shout that we should be. But really, for anyone whose given OS X a real chance, would you want to go back? Give the developers a chance.
    I was just asking my original question to get up to speed on where this "remodel job" was at and to get a sense of where it was going. Thanks much to all who've contributed to answering my question.

  • Why is my usage showing so high when I canceled my account?

    Yes I will tell you why - IMPORTANT READ THIS WHOLE DOCUMENT.  I called Verizon to find out how much it would be to cancel my contract ahead of time as I was going to be changing to DSL, as I currently was using one of their little slow data devices that runs at less than a 1mb a sec download speed for $80 a month,  and now that DSL was available in my neighborhood it was only $43 dollars a month for 6mb a sec download,  not only a significant increase in speed but also a savings of half in cost, as we were always going over our 10g limit by a few mbs each month.  So basically we used about 11gs a month,  theirby paying $90 for service.    So I called and told this person I was going to get DSL in a couple weeks,  how much is it going to cost me to cancel my contract early.  He told me and I was satisfied that it wasn't too much,  and I said I will call back when I am ready.   Ok,  here's where it gets interersting.   I called and canceled my service with VERIZON 3 days into my new billing cycle.  They turned the device off that day, and I unplugged it and everything.  That day my DSL was up and running fine.  Then when I get my bill,  expecting only to be billed for the monthly service and the early disconnect fee -  I AM COMPLETELY SHOCKED to find that somehow 16 GIG of data was supposedly downloaded through my little slow device during those 3 days of that billing cycle.  I called them immediately and told them this has to be a mistake the device I have it isn't possible to download that much data in 3 days.  They won't budge.  I owe it.  So after all this time with verizon,  about 3 and 1/2 years using 11g a month a paying for it with no problem,  the moment I decide to leave I suddenly am able to download 16g in 3 days?  If the dang thing worked that well I probably never would have even looked for another internet option!!!  As I try to explain that it is physically impossible, and they won't budge,  I suddenly realize what has happened.  I've been SPOOFED.  Someone at Verizon,  when I called the first time telling them I would be canceling in a few days,  spoofed my account (as they have the equipment and know how to do it.  Being a former computer network engineer I have the know how but not the equipment as I am now retired and on pension.)  Yes so someone who worked at Verizon spoofed my account, knowing I was leaving...  got some free internet usage on my dime...   BEWARE EVERYONE WHO USES VERIZON  This could happen to you. I intend to spread my suspicions of this until someone at verizon decides to wave those extra 6g as it's not possible for the device I had to download that much in only 3 days.  

    Hello!  Oh I would love to have this investigated, but was told that it could not be investigated because I using a small data device and they would have to have the device to look through it...  I actually no longer have the device.  I did have it set to log incoming or outgoing.  But this is the problem. The device was only active for 3 days in that billing cycle.  The device was of course protected with WEP  and we only had one computer on our small in house network.  But the device we had did not allow data to flow through it at such a speed.  I was told that 1gig of data had gone thru it on the 2nd at 8:48.  That is just simply not possible.  IMPOSSIBLE.  While we went over a little in the month, it's just not possible for that device to transfer that much data in 3 days.  No matter how much I tried to explain this to the ppl I was talking to when I ended my contract, they were simply not interested in helping me and so you can surely understand my position.  I used to work as a network engineer before I retired and it is very easy to spoof someone's IP address and get myself some free downloads when I know that person is leaving Verizon because they called me ahead of time and asked how much my cancelation fee would be.  And I swear I do not owe this money.  My son was not home during the 3 days and he is the biggest user in the house. the device doesn't handle data that quickly. No one would investigate.  If you would investiage and look into those devices and take note of their top speed and compare to my records you should be able to see something is not right and gladly refund my money.  PLEASE PLEASE figure this out I am retired on disability an can't afford this $60 when all your ppl were so rude they wouldn't even talk about this YOU JUST HAVE TO PAY.  Hence my long and rude blog remark hoping to get attention.  Thank you if you respond.

  • Why does Apple only let you authorize 5 products on 1 account?

    Is there any way arround this. Reason is that I just ordered the New iPad to replace the original iPad also I just ordered the new iPhone 5 to replace the 4. So what do you do to get it all set up? I have 3 other devices so I'm at the limit!

  • SID only shows up when adding a domain user account from an external trusted domain

    This is sort of an interesting situation which may wind up being more of a network port not being open.
    There are two Windows 2008 R2 domains, AlphaCo and BravoCo, that have an external one-way trust setup between them where AlphaCo trusts BravoCo. The member servers on the AlphaCo domain have BravoCo users added to it's local groups. The problem is on one
    of the member servers (SRV-05) on the AlphaCo domain. When any user from the BravoCo domain is added to the local Administrators group it will show up when doing a search with the "friendly name" but when you click on "Apply" and/or "OK"
    it changes to the SID. This only happens on the SRV-05 server. The other member servers on the AlphaCo domain (SRV-01, 02, 03, 04, 06) are not having this issue.
    Any idea what may be causing this user identity crisis and what could be done to resolve it?

    There are no other differences between SRV-05 and the other members servers on the AlphaCo
    domain (SRV-01, 02, 03, 04, 06). I did download and run the PortQryUI tool to check the status of port 135 on SRV-05
    and the other servers which came back with the same results. I also checked the
    AlphaCo domain
    security settings (Computer Configuration->Windows Settings->Security Settings->Local Policies->Security Options) Network access: Allow anonymous SID/Name translation which was disabled. But I do not believe this is the cause since
    it would impact the other servers (SRV-01, 02, 03, 04, 06) in the domain.
