I had a problem where a window would appear with a folder that said iPod_Control whenever I attached my iPod or put music on it using iTunes. The window would disappear after about 5 seconds.
For some reason, my iPod was detected by Windows as a USB Mass Storage Device. I noticed that there were 2 of these listed in my Device Manager. One of them seemed to indicate a problem with a little yellow icon. After removing both of these Mass Storage Devices, I then restarted my computer. The problem was then solved.
Here is a step by step process on how I did this.
Disable the message Are you sure you want to permanently delete all the items and subfolders in the “folder name” folder, when you are cleaning items out of a folder such as the Deleted Items folder and save a step every time.
1. In Outlook 2007, select Tools > Options.
2. Click the Other tab and select Advanced Options…
When you start Max OS X Leopard, the Setup Assistant appears. After filling it out and clicking Done, it still remains on your screen and won’t go away. Attempts to Force Quit the application doesn’t work either.
To solve this issue, you will need to restart your Mac in Safe Mode by holding down the Shift key while it starts. Once you are in under Safe Mode, go to the Setup Assistant menu and quit.
Restart the computer and it shouldn’t bother you anymore.
It looks like there are a bunch of iPod Touch users that keep getting a screen prompting them for a January Upgrade. When clicking on No Thanks or Remind me later they get an error:
An error occurred. The iTunes store could not process your request.
Then the message won’t go away.
Here are some steps to try for this issue:
1. Unplug the iPod Touch and disconnect the computer from the Internet.
2. Close iTunes.
3. Wait a few seconds and Re-Connect the iPod Touch.
4. Start iTunes.
5. When prompted with the message, click Remind me later or No Thanks, then OK then quickly click the X button at the top to stop loading iTunes shop.
6. Close iTunes and reconnect to the Internet.
7. Start iTunes.

I had a big problems with Flash ads locking up my computer. The ads have become increasingly intrusive and annoying. They pop up, cover what your reading and at times, you can’t get rid of them. I found a hack that prevents flash movies from loading unless you tell them play. It provides a nice Click to play option on the areas of the screen displaying Flash content in Firefox. It works on most Flash movies. Here’s how you add it.
1. Find your Firefox profile folder, located at C:\Documents and Settings\username\Application Data\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\randomvalue\chrome
If you are using a different skin other than chrome, replace chrome with the name of the skin you are using.
Would you like to stop the message: The application program name quit unexpectedly from appearing when a program crashes? You can do this using the Terminal application.
1. Open Terminal from the Utilites folder.
2. Type:
defaults write com.apple.CrashReporter DialogType none
and press Enter.
To enable it again in the future, use defaults write com.apple.CrashReporter DialogType prompt
Dear Apple,
I was using iTunes today and found a song by Enrique Iglesias. Oh how I wanted to hear his lyrical mastery in the song Don’t Turn Out the Lights. However when I double-clicked the song, the classic exclamation mark appeared to tell me the song has somehow disappeared. My heart was so broken. I was so ready to lip sync to the song in my whitey tighties.
To prevent this from happening again, I have searched high and low for a solution to rid myself of songs that do not exist on my hard drive anymore, but still appear on my iTunes library list. This doesn’t appear to be a feature of your software at all.
When you find the time, do you think you can add a Rebuild Music Index feature or an option to remove songs that don’t exist into your software or something? Otherwise I will be forever cursed with having over 500 songs listed in iTunes that don’t exist because there is no way to sort them and delete them all at once.
Sincerely,
Mitch

P.S. I chose to provide you a photo of my screen instead of me in my whitey tighties as I had intended. Let me know if you would like to see that instead.
