Why would iTunes launch when a Word document is opened?

iTunes launches when I open a Word document. This has never happened before but I just migrated all my data from my old iBook to my new iBook; this only happens on the new iBook never on the old one. Would the data migration have anything to do with this? Any ideas how to stop it?
Thanks!

Does iTunes open when you double-click a Word document?
If so, the Finder associates the wrong application with those files.
To fix it, select a word document in the Finder and Get Info (command-I)
Expand 'Open With:' if necessary and select Microsoft Word as the application to open with.
If it's not in the list, select 'Other...' and navigate to Microsoft Word.
Then click on the 'Change All...' button to associate all Word documents with Microsoft Word.
Hope this helps.

  • Why would iTunes 9.2.1.5 automatically DELETE my iPod's entire music library???

    Hi everyone,
       I have an iPod Classic running software ver 1.3.  I keep (kept) my entire music library on the iPod rather than on my laptop.  I've used the iPod this way for nearly 5 years now.  This morning I connected the iPod to my Windows Vista laptop, running iTunes 9.2.1.5, which I do almost every day.
       Today was unusual.  When iTunes started up, it told me it was "syncing your iPod," then DELETED everything in my iPod's music library which wasn't purchased on the iTunes website.  Because I only bought a handful of songs from iTunes, this reduced my music library from 25 Gigs to a little less than 15 Megs.  Then iTunes crashed.
       Why would iTunes DO this???  I feel like I've been mugged.  That library took years to collect and organize and I don't have access to a lot of the original sources.  The worst part of it all is I had no inkling nor warning that anything was amiss until it was all too late.  And why would iTunes spare only what I'd purchased from the iTunes store???  Is this some sick way of ensuring Apple is the sole gateway to our music access?

    It sounds like your iPod did an automatic sync. Whether or not you had it set up that way or not I'm not sure. Anyway, when your iPod automatically syncs it makes sure your iPod MATCHES your iTunes library. If you have no songs in your library (because "I keep (kept) my entire music library on the iPod rather than on my laptop") then it will delete all the songs on the iPod to match the iTunes library. The only exception is that it will copy any iTunes purchased songs from your iPod back to your computer as a way of safe-keeping your iTunes purchased songs.
    As a side note, there are way too many people on this forum that don't keep their library on their computer (25 Gigs doesn't take up that much room) or at least store it on an external hard drive (they're cheap). Too many things can happen to your iPod such as; theft, damage, malfunction, or your experience that not keeping a back-up copy is risking losing a "library that took years to collect and organize". I know that I have all the CDs that make up my 31,000 song library that are all on my iPod Classic but I still keep them on my computer AND my backup hard drive. I know if I lost my iPod I really wouldn't want to rip all those CDs again, not to mention hunting down missing artwork.

  • Poor graphics redraw when scrolling Word documents

    I have a strange blurring effect when scrolling Word documents on my Macbook pro, as if the graphic card had trouble refreshing: the screen is interspersed by horizontal irregular lines that make it impossible to read the text.
    I have recently replaced the logic board. Anyone has an idea of what this could be?
    Thank you for the help!

    I've only seen this in Word, and only in Page Layout view. It does not occur in Notebook view (although there are other stability issues with that view). At the moment I'm working on a 125 page document that I am writing, and scrolling through there are no problems.

  • ITunes quits when I'm trying to open it. I have installed the latest version and another user on the same Mac can use their iTunes when they log in. I have tried deleting iTunes and re-installing but it still won't open. Any ideas?

    iTunes quits when I'm trying to open it. I have installed the latest version and another user on the same Mac can use their iTunes when they log in. I have tried deleting iTunes and re-installing but it still won't open. Any ideas? Thanks.

    Hold down the option key while starting iTunes and make an new library.  Will it open then? If so, you have a bad library.  With the new library import the library.xml version of the file in your iTunes folder.  This will make it 90% like before (some metadata are not identical, but I don't know which ones).

  • ITunes launches when I DISCONNECT iPhone or iPod

    I have looked around, but have not found a reason as to why iTunes is launching when I disconnect my iPhone or iPod. I do not have it set to launch when the iPhone is connected so it's only when I disconnect that iTunes launches.

    my recommendation would be you try this:
    remove iTunes completely (click here and follow the instructions), then reinstall it. download the current version from here: http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/.
    also, sometimes it helps to remove and reinstall the *Apple Mobile Device Service*. click here and follow the instructions.
    any help ?

  • How to stop the iTunes launching when play/pause is pressed? PLEASE HELP

    I have a macbook pro 13 inches. When I play computer game, during an intense battle, I always accidently press the play/pause button.
    Immediately, the iTunes launch, which will make my game go frozen and I would always lose the battle. This make me extremely frustrated, I have lose so many battles cause of this problem. I know that I could turn the top row of my action keys to Fn keys. That would solve my problems, right? But no. Becuase I use those keys very often. It would be awful without them. For example, the screen brightness, the mission control, the keyboard back-lit light, the volume adjust. Without all these, my mac experience would be awful. Im just wondering if there are other solution beside for turning the Fn keys on.
    PLEASE HELP ME

    This has fixed it for me

  • How do I Launch a Microsoft WORD Document using AciveX from testStand

    Hello All:
    I would like to launch a Word document from within Teststand. I would also like to have the ability to search the document for particular sections of the document. I can not find any sequence file examples that even comes close to demonstrating any of this.
    Thanks...

    Hello Craig,
    I have attached an example that will demonstrate this for you. You may need to change the Word Server to match the version of Word that you have installed. This can be done by right clicking on each ActiveX step and select Specify Module. Under Automation Server, scroll down the list to Microsoft Word... and select it.
    This is primarily an example to demostrate calling Microsoft Word from TestStand. If you require additional functionality from the Microsoft Word ActiveX server then you should refer to the API reference help for Microsoft Word.
    Hope this helps!

  • Error when importing Word document

    I am having a problem importing a Word document. This is the
    first time I have experienced the problem.
    Partway through the import (it appears to be attempting to
    open the Word document) I get a message:
    A file error has occurred.
    Try one or more of the following:
    *Check the disk drive to make sure the disk is properly
    inserted
    *Check the disk or the disk drive to make sure there is not a
    hardware problem
    *Check the network connections.
    Things I have tried:
    1. Reboot of the machine that has both RoboDemo (V5) and the
    Word document.
    2. Renaming the Word document to something with a shorter
    name.
    3. Taking out large sections of the document and then
    retrying. Repeat until the document is empty.
    I have searched this forum as well as the general web for any
    information. Help! I'm on a tight deadline and I just can't kill
    any more time screwing around with this.
    Thanks in advance,
    Sarah-Jane
    PS. I would be willing to send/attach the document if it
    would help someone.

    I started the import just before going to bed last night and
    it was still running when I killed it this morning. It did not
    error with the message you got but I did get a Microsoft Word
    message:
    The server application, source file, or item cannot be found.
    Make sure the application is properly installed.
    The import was stuck on the graphics under Metadata Format. I
    don't know if the callouts you had created in Word were the cause
    but you cannot have those in RoboHelp HTML which is going to give
    you a problem as the document is heavy on them.
    Back to the import. Is there something in your document that
    is pointing to a server? Is the template on a server or is your
    normal template on a server instead of being local?
    Also I notice you said RoboDemo. Did you mean that?

  • None of my Saved Microsoft Word documents will open on my MacBook Pro. Does anyone know why this is happening, and help me open them?

    A message pops up saying 'Word cannot open this document. The document might be in use, the document might not be a valid Word document, or the file name might contain invalid characters (for example, \/).' The documents are certainly not open, and I don't know why they would be invalid. Please help!

    www.doc.investintech.com/Check for Microsoft updates, the docs could be old, and need a converter:
    A worst do a command P, and turn to a PDF and send like that (yes it *****)
    Also try a copy and paste to a new doc.
    Hope this helps.
