Windows 7: How to get iTunes to start minimized on boot

I just got a brand new Windows 7 machine, and installed itunes. I see no option for having it start on boot anywhere in the preferences. I know I can add an itunes shortcut to my startup folder, but this causes the program to start with it's window open. I've tried setting the property to start minimized, but iTunes seems to ignore it.

Install Windows using Boot Camp Assistant. Register it. Install Parallels and configure it to use the Boot Camp installation of Windows as the guest operation system. Register Windows in Parallels. If the online registration does not work use the telephone registration. It is an automated system that will give you a second registration number. If the telephone system does not work for you call the registration assistance number. They will give you a new key for your Parallels Windows.
The reason you need to register twice is because Windows uses your hardware configuration to identify what computer it is installed on. When you use Windows in Parallels, Parallels creates virtual hardware that appears different than the hardware used during the Boot Camp installation. So Windows thinks it is installed on two different computers. Once the registration is performed with two different keys (free of course) then you won't have any problems.
You will need to go through this double registration for Microsoft Office as well if you install it.

    Hello, joegoducks. 
    Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities.
    If your device is not recognized by iTunes, I would recommend the steps in the article below.  Start with the section labeled Verify that the Apple Mobile Device USB Driver is installed > For Windows Vista, Windows 7, and Windows 8 > Update the Apple Mobile Device Driver.

    Try:                                               
    - iOS: Not responding or does not turn on           
    - Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode

    - If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
    - Try another cable                     
    - Try on another computer                                                       
    - If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

    The missing apps could have been done by setting the Restrictions that can hid those apps. If the backup was made with those retrictions set the the Restrictions are also restored.
    Thus, if you get it to work restore to factory settings/new iPod, not from backup

    Dear Michael, good day!
    1. As per your instruction, I turned off iTM.
    Small discrepancy – where are two screens with iTM switch:
    -Settings > iTunes & App Store. 
    -Settings > Music
    I switched OFF in both.
    NB: I turned device to English for convenience.
    2. My next step was Setting > General > Usage – tapped {Music};
    {All music} screen appeared; I swiped it and taped Delete. 
    3. I performed “hard reset” …………………………………..
    4. Switched back On iTM
    5. Taped Music app on Home screen
    iTM has started –  (it took 18 minutes  to completed, 60 mbps Wi-Fi speed )
    Regret to inform… All the same:
    Erase and reset to factory default? Or I did smf wrong?

  • Any suggestions on how to get iTunes 10.5 to recognize my Iphone?

  • I can't get itunes to start now that I downloaded 10.5.3

    i can't get itunes to start now that I downloaded 10.5.3

    Try following steps and test one at a time:
    1. Restart computer, right mouse click iTunes icon and select "Run As Administrator"
    2. If that does not work, check to see if this file APSDaemon.exe is the problem here.
    Close your iTunes.
    Press Ctrl-Alt-Del key and choose Task Manager. In the "Processes" Tab, select the file APSDaemon.exe and click End Prosses button, then close the task manager window.
    Now open itunes and see if it is working?
    If that works, to prevent having to do the same process everytime you restart Windows, go to. START button, type in
    MSCONFIG
    Hit ENTER
    Click STARTUP Tab, Uncheck "Apple Push", click OK.
    Restart Windows.
    3. If that fails or you don't see ApsDaemon.exe in the Processes, refer to following article to remove SC files:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS2363
    4. If that fails, repair or reinstall your Quicktime. START / CONTROL PANEL / PROGRAMS N FEATURES / hightlight QUICKTIME and click REPAIR.

    In windows 7, how do I make firefox start automatically when I turn on the pc

    That worked, thanks. When I turn on the pc, I almost always go to the internet before anything else, so this eliminates one step. It doesn't seem to save any time, however, but it is easy. If anyone else wants to try this, it looks like it's very easy to undo if you change your mind.
