Hi all

If you've removed the ItunesHelper from the Login Items section (System Preferences >> Accounts >> Login Items ... , How can you put it back?

I know where it is by browsing to it in Finder Applications >>>Itunes >Show Package Contents >> Resources . ITunesHelper ... but you can't drag and drop, and you can only select the application itself from the login window.
 
use the little "+" sign and navigate to the app.

- Go to the Applications folder and select iTunes
- Right click > Show Package Contents
- Open 'Contents'
- Open 'Resources'
- Find iTunes helper
- Open System Preferences and go to Accounts > select your account > Login Items
- Drag iTunes Helper from Finder to this list

Done.

Heheh, I made the same mistake as you. Trying to decipher to OP's first post, I didn't realize he mentioned that he deleted iTunesHelper from the iTunes app as well, hence my removed post. :p
