Nag screens are very annoying, thus the moniker that they have been assigned. Fortunately there are a couple of ways to get iTunes to stop asking you to set it as the default player.

This means that any time you double-click a file that could potentially open in iTunes, that iTunes is the program that will open. But iTunes also wants desperately to be the default media playback program on your computer. You can listen to music, watch videos, and even import music directly from CDs to your iTunes library. While much of iTunes’ value does lie in its’ ability to connect with your iPhones, iPads and iPods, it is more than just a glorified file transfer application.

To change the association, click the app box that appears.Ī pop-up will ask “How do you want to open files from now on?”, with being the type of file extension that you’re working on, such as. If you typed a known file type, you’ll see the app that the file extension is currently associated with just below the text entry box. (If that’s the case, click it, and you’ll follow instructions similar to those listed below.) If you typed an extension that isn’t registered, you’ll see a button labeled “Choose a Default” that will allow you to set the default app for it.
