After closing iTunes 6 it's still hogging CPU
I had no problems installing the latest iTunes 6 and Quicktime. It all looked as if it was running OK.
However I noticed that each time I closed iTunes my PC (P4 2.4ghz/1024Mb RAM/XP Home SP2) was running extremely slow.
Using Task Manager, I looked at the CPU usage - YIKES - iTunes.exe was still there hogging between 50 to 99%. I'm having to kill this process manually to sort this.
Anyone else having this problem? Any ideas how to fix it, as it's a bit of a pain having to do this each time!!
I've about 1100 albums in my library - I wonder if it's doing some sort of maintenance process after closing - and because of the size of the library it's taking this amount of time?
hmmmm. i believe that itunes updates the itl file on close-down ... but it's a bit of a mystery why it would be making such a meal of it in your case.
starting to check through odd possibilities, now. does that PC have dual cores or processors? if so, perhaps check to see if you've got a variation of this issue (it hits imports as well, so i wouldn't be entirely suprised if it was also hitting some other library-related functions):

Adobe 11.0.3 keeps running after closing the program and uses all cpu
After closing Adobe reader it remains in the background on task manager and uses about 25% of CPU for each instance, each time a pdf is closed it adds another instance in the background, when there are four my cpu is maxed out. I have to use my computer with task manager always running so I can end task each time I close a PDF. I tried the solution stopping welcome screen with registry fix and other fixes for prior versions, none help. Running Windows 8.
In order to deploy via GPO, you need to create AIP (Administrative Installation Point) for Reader 11.0 and then patch that AIP with 11.0.04 to create AIP of 11.0.04
Method:
1. Extract Reader 11.0.4 exe via the following command line,
AdbeRdr11004_en_US.exe -sfx_o"<extraction_path>" -sfx_ne
e.g. if you want to extract to c:\temp_folder
you should run the following command,
AdbeRdr11004_en_US.exe -sfx_o"c:\temp_folder" -sfx_ne
You should see the following six files in c:\temp_folder,
ABCPY.INI
AcroRead.msi
AdbeRdrUpd11004.msp
Data1.cab
setup.exe
Setup.ini
2. Now navigate to "C:\temp_folder" folder to create AIP for 11.0 in "C:\Rdr11AIP" and follow the wizard
msiexec /a AcroRead.msi TARGETDIR="C:\Rdr11AIP"
3. Now navigate to "C:\Rdr11AIP" to create AIP for 11.0.4 in C:\Rdr11AIP" and follow the wizard
msiexec /a AcroRead.msi TARGETDIR="C:\Rdr11AIP" PATCH=<"Path to 11.0.04 patch location">
for this example, "Path to 11.0.04 patch location" is going to be "c:\temp_folder\AdbeRdrUpd11004.msp"
So the command would be,
msiexec /a AcroRead.msi TARGETDIR="C:\Rdr11AIP" PATCH="c:\temp_folder\AdbeRdrUpd11004.msp"
4. You will see following files in your "C:\Rdr11AIP" folder,
AcroRead.msi
Common
CommonAppData
program files
Win
Windows
5. Now copy the contents of this folder to your network location and link the AcroRead.msi file in the Group Policy Editor, you are now ready the deploy 11.0.04
Hope, it helps. -
Ipod appears corrupted after closing Itunes while playing
I was just finishing loading several new albums onto my ipod and it was playing a song from the ipod. I accidentally closed Itunes. Now my ipod doesn't appear to have anything on it. When I first went back into Itunes and tried to get it to recognize the ipod, it would not recognize it there or in explorer. I tried resetting and now I can see it in Itunes and explorer, but it doesn't show any songs (in explorer, I see folders but I don't see songs files, but I never looked there before so I don't know what to expect). I see at the bottom of Itunes that it had about the right amount of used/unused space, but then when I clicked around, and went back to the ipod folder, it changes every time to show a slightly smaller amount of used space. Please tell me that closing Itunes while playing a song can't totally corrupt the ipod. Or that I don't have to re-rip my 500 cds and reload it. I don't have them all on any computer to just recopy to the ipod.
Also, when I try to 'stop' the ipod for disconnecting, it now says that it cannot be stopped now, try again later. I'm worried that if I unplug it now that it will damage it further.
Windows XP ProOK, let me make sure i have this correct. you closed your itunes while a song was playing on your ipod on computer? also, When you reopened itunes, the pod was recognized, correct? What did you click around on, because that could change your space. What is the Ipod doing that you need to stop? I suggest don't unplug, becuase your correct, you have a chance that it could damage further. sory for so many q's but i just need to get the story straight to help ya. theo

Imported files in itunes trown out of my library after closing itunes
Alle the files i import, like music, tv shows and films are thrown out of my library after i close itunes.
Can anyone help?
grtz. JonathanWOW! Thanks to all who directed me to Sony for this issue. I have downloaded the update http://support.apple.com/kb/TS2715 (which by the way would not run for the first few times stating it was an update for Vista even though I chose the Windows 7 OS and the page showed was for 7.) I have rebooted about 4 times so far and everything is still in iTunes. Oh thank you all.... BTW I had my computer in with the Sony Backstage guys for a tune up a few months ago and I explained this issue to them. They had no idea and recommended I go over to the Apple store in the Mall. I would think they should be versed on various software related issues which can create trouble for users of their products just as they are versed in the nuts and bolts of how to save this, and move that, and make backup disks, and read my email. : ) Keeping my fingers crossed.
All this technology conflict.... Can't we all just get along??? -
ITunes 10.6.3 hogs CPU time
I'll notice the system bogging down...and find that iTunes is use 80% or more of my CPU time in Activity Monitor. This did not happen with 10.6.1. Tips/tricks/suggestions would be appreciated.
I'll notice the system bogging down...and find that iTunes is use 80% or more of my CPU time in Activity Monitor.
There's a couple of different things that can hit folks in this way.
Doublechecking ... are you getting this when iTunes is in the mini player mode? Or in the main player? -
After downloading iTunes again, it still did not open
Often times I re-load an app. when it feels wrong; however, the new iTunes acts the same as current (same version). It refuses to ignite (lol).
Is this because I have an '08 24" intel iMac?I have, along w/ my pal Lyn, have found how 11.2.1 still freezes right sfter starting. That stopage appear coagulated from many different issues out there.
I wonder if it stems from a simple problem: Lyn mentioned Java adherence could be lessened by older versions still on the OS.
Please give us your thoughts; afterall, it is amazing to me how many replies are given for other questions... -
Problem opening browser after closing iTunes
I just bought a refurb 60GB video ipod this week, dl iTunes - now when I close iTunes, I can not open a browser window without restarting my computer. I use FireFox. Any ideas?TIA
Dell Windows XPWell there are millions of iPhoto and iTunes users, so it's possible that someone, somewhere has.
There are 9 different versions of iPhoto and they run on 9 different versions of the Operating System. The tricks and tips for dealing with issues vary depending on the version of iPhoto and the version of the OS. So to get help you need to give as much information as you can. Include things like:
- What version of iPhoto.
- What version of the Operating System.
- Details. As full a description of the problem as you can. For example, if you have a problem with exporting, then explain by describing how you are trying to export, and so on.
- History: Is this going on long? Has anything been installed or deleted? - Are there error messages?
- What steps have you tried already to solve the issue.
- Anything unusual about your set up? Or how you use iPhoto?
Anything else you can think of that might help someone understand the problem you have. -
Every time I close Itunes I get a BSOD in windows vista ultimate 64bit error I get in BSOD : Reference by pointer error code 0x000000018.
Looked for dumpfile but no dumpfile created.
Allready uninstalled Itunes and all apple software following some tips I found on the internet in correct order, reinstalled same problem occurs.
I believe it must have to do something with apple mobile device software, but when I remove that software Itunes can't find the mobile devices
anymore.Guys,
I'm in the same boat, close iTunes 11.0.4.4 and BSOD. When it is open everything is fine!
Running Vista
I'm good with computers....but not at the level that know what the message means.
Can you offer any help? Is this the same problem you are having?
Cheers
Steve

ITunes keeps launching even after closing.
After upgrading to Yosemite, iTunes will spontaneously start after closing iTunes 12.01.26
Close is not the same as Quit:
click the red ball on the left top and iTunes window is closed, but iTunes is still running: see the light under the Dock icon;
to quit you must quit from the menu bar, or when it is the foremost window by CMD Q key combination. -
if someone can let me know that would be great. i cannot find how to play the movie i rented after closing itunes. Thanks
The monitor is in extended desktop mode. That's a logical extension of the desktop located to the right. Drag iTunes off the right side of your MBair monitor and it will appear on the TV.
Edit: These settings are in System Preferences > Displays > arrangement tab. You can also mirror your monitor there as well. -
ITunes wipes library after closing?
I'm having a really annoying problem...I have an iPod Touch 4th Gen and I've just installed iTunes on my new laptop. I imported my music to my new laptop via Home Share, but after closing iTunes and re-opening again all my music was gone? So I added music from my new laptop to iTunes, closed it again and opened it and it was gone again. It takes me absolute ages to re-add all the music and it's really annoying that iTunes wipes my entire library and basically resets itself everytime I close it. Help? I'm using Windows 7 and the latest version of iTunes. How can I make the songs stay in the library even after I close iTunes?
OK so at some point you got the "iTunes has experienced an error and needs to close. Do you want to send the error to Microsoft?" error. follow the instructions at the link below to repair iTunes and uninstall quicktime. http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=302372,
If this does not work, your library may have becomed corruppt or you may have to do the stand alone install of quicktime.
Just post back and tell us if this fixes your problem or not -
When i exit itunes, itunes.exe jumps to 99% CPU useage and eats memory HELP
as the topic says, on my pc, when i have itunes running, and i quit it, if i watch it in my system processes tab, the CPU useage jumps to 99% and it starts to EAT my memory up. Anyone have any ideas on this? After several minutes the process finally quits itself normally, otheriwse i end up ending the process because it has made my computer come to a hault.
Any ideas?If it's not Kaspersky, maybe it's some other
program.
If you do these MSCONFIG steps, is iTunes OK?
Using MSCONFIG to troubleshoot conflicts in
Windows
Nope, still no change.. I even uninstalled Quicktime and iTunes, tried the msconfig troubleshoot again, no luck. Is it just iTunes? My only concern, is that it wasn't like this always. iTunes used to work like a dream.
Now I experience a significant lag when I try to open another application after closing iTunes. Anyway, this is just plain annoying.. but I have an iPod and most of my music is ripped in AAC, so I have to live with iTunes. -
Every once in awhile after closing Firefox 3.6.13 the process continues to run. The way I discover this is my CPU temperature monitor is increasing from 36C to 50C, so I open the Task Manger and see that it is using 50% of the CPU, slowing down the computer. I am running XP Professional 64 bit SP2 with all the latest updates on an Intel E8400 3.0GHz overclocked to 3.6GHz and 4GB dual channel DDR2-1066 at 800MHz. This happens only occasionally, maybe once or twice a month. I just end the task and the temperature of the CPU drops and everything is normal again.
Norton IPS is apparently a known issue being mentioned in the KB articles:
*[[firefox will not start]]
* [[firefox crashes when you open it]]
* I also found an earlier post on the Norton site http://community.norton.com/t5/Norton-Internet-Security-Norton/Norton-IPS-1-0-Addon-for-FireFox/m-p/25425#M8494 but I am not sure this is still considered a problem.
What exactly is this IPS extension. I am currently using XPs with Norton's NIS (version 18.6 - it is a paid for subscription). I do have Intrusion Prevention active in NIS but I see no specific extension or program IPS. Is this some optional additional software?
I did find an explanation but from 2009
* http://community.norton.com/t5/Norton-Protection-Blog/Intrusion-Prevention-System-IPS-Your-first-line-of-defense/ba-p/124400
I am NOT using the Norton Toolbar etc. is it these components that are causing the problem i.e safe search etc.
I am not having problems with firefox hanging or continuing, despite using NIS.
There is a bug on this https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=548945 but that does not seem to have got very far in confirming or resolving the issue. I imagine Norton have a very large userbase and it seems unlikely that the basic NIS is itself incompatible with Firefox. -
Firefox exe continues to run after closing all windows, and consumes massive amounts of cpu
after closing all firefox windows and trying to reopen i get the "firefox is still running but unresponsive" message, and have to go into task manager, processes and end the firefox exe, which is consuming between 96 and 100 cpu.
