Can't close iTunes 7.7

I just installed the latest iTunes update. Everything went as usual, and my iTunes has always worked nearly perfectly, but now I can't close the program. It works just fine, but when I close the window it hangs and I have to end the program through the task manager. Once again I try to keep everything up to date and I get burned....great.

Please stop blaming ESET NOD32 (old or new versions)
I have been using them for abt 4 years now.
NOD32 just checks for the shared network library, which is piped between iTunes and its additional new tool, Bonjour. Nod32 finds this interconnection pointing to networked resources but there is nothing at the other side of this pipe, so it goes in a loop - coming back, asking Bonjour for the reply and then going back to the networked resources.
Since Bonjour doesnt find anything on the other side.. it just keeps looking, doesnt terminate its search.
So if u uninstall or disable Bonjour, it works just without any problems.
If you tweak ur Nod32, that is fine but i wudnt want to leave any hole or place on my system which isnt protected... its my system after all.. and i dont want to fiddle with my AV, especially whens it involves the STATE-OF-THE-ART ESET Nod32.
I have spent more than half of my life working on Digital Security, Malwares and compromised Networks - dont want to change my lifestyle just coz a newbie Bonjour makes my AV go look for something that doesnt exist!
Cheers!

Does anyone else have this problem - I can't close iTunes!

Does any else get this really annoying problem? When I run iTunes, after a while the 'Accessing iTunes Store' display line at the top of the screen gets stuck (the stripey horizontal line just shows moving stripes forever). When this happens, I can no longer access the iTunes store AND I can't close the program! iTunes has not actually hung though, and I can still play music. The only way I can close iTunes is by killing it using Task Manager. If I click on the close icon, nothing happens.
I had this problem on version 7 and it's still there after upgrading to version 8. I might even have had it on earlier versions, I can't remember. Also, I had the same problem on another PC! When I transferred my library and account details to the new PC, the problem came with them.
I really like iTunes, but I'm totally fed up with this ridiculous problem which I've now had for a long time. I can still buy music as long as I do it before the problem hits. But it always happens eventually (after say 30 mins? Maybe less). iTunes diagnostics is no help. It always tells me that everything's working fine.
Any help, very much appreciated.

QUite a lot of freexing problems have been associated with Bonjour. This FAQ tells you what it does and how to temporarily disable it as a test.

If turning off bonjour solves your problem and you don't need what it does you can uninstall it and iTunes will still work.

Trato de cerrar el programa de itune y no me deja, trato de apagar el computador y no lo puedo apagar, he buscado para ver si tiene errores el disco del Ipod y me dice que esta bien. Lo he restaurado como 8 veces y le he puesto musica y videos pero siempre me borra todo. He aplastado Menu y Seleccion para entrar al sistemade diagnostic o del ipod y le pongo el test manual donde entro al IO y me dice q todo esta bien.

Can't get iTunes to close when using my iPod

I have the original Touch, works just fine so why replace it. However, lately when I download from iTunes, sync the new songs and then click the button to disconnect, I can't get itunes to close. It keeps opening and finally in dispair, I resort to going to the Windows Task manager and close it that way which sometimes doesn't work until I've done it several times. At the same time I get the new Apple rules and regs, I always click accept and it still opens and opens and opens. Does anyone else have this difficulty? Not thrilled with Apple taking over my computer.

I have not heard of that problem before. You can try:
- ANother cable and USB port
Removing and Reinstalling iTunes, QuickTime, and other software components for Windows XP
or
Removing and reinstalling iTunes, QuickTime, and other software components for Windows Vista or Windows 7
- Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Unsync all music and resync
- Reset all settings
Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
- Restore from backup. See:
iOS: How to back up
- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
If still problem, make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.

Can I close iBooks Author while I wait for approval for account to get iTunes Producer?

I am new to the IBooks Author and I am awaiting approval, but I want to be able to close window. If I do will I be able to get back to the same area I left off when I get the confirmation?

IBooks Author is used to create your books and needs no "registration" or approval...so yes you can closr it.
iTunes Producer is used to upload your book to the review team and eventually into the iBooks store.
Unless you have either a free noks account or a psid books account, you will not need to bother too much about iTunes Producer.
Have you applied for a free book or psid book account yet?

I can't close my itunes

I'm using Lion. My itunes won't stay closed. It's getting really annoying! Help!

Checkout this http://forums.logitech.com/t5/G-Series-Gaming-Keyboards/G19-keeps-opening-iTunes /m-p/794559
I found out it was my keyboard's software. If you have a different keyboard it may still be the cause.
This worked for me nicely. I can close itunes whenever I want now.

Can't Close Info Box on itunes

If I click on the info tab for descriptions then I can not close the box that appears without quitting itunes. The box extends to both ends of the screen and there is no close tab on the top right corner. How do I fix this?

I stream using Nicecast as well. Keep computers in perfect maintenance state. Library of over 20,000 songs, numerous playlists. Been streaming since 2005. Itunes 8 has been a disaster in my opinion. Hoped 8.1.1 would stop crashing. Filed the 15th very detailed crash report this morning. 8 thru 8.1.1 are very slow to drag, so slow that it is possible to drag one open playlist UNDER another, then it will pop to the forefront. Songs move at a snails pace. Segue is erratic, sometimes beautiful, other time snoozing. When about to crash it no longer records time and date played in the "Last Played" file. When crash occurs it shut downs Nicecast stream as well, BUT even though it says it has crashed, itunes screens remain open and will play for a short time, then screens disappear and it recrashes. After crashes, reset permissions, the rwrr (?) is always out - this occurs on all computers station uses, not unique to one. Run Cocktail, have done the PRAM many times - even Disc Warrior'ed the machines. Almost always crashes during a segue between songs, usually plays a bit of the song then goes down and usually does this near the top of the hour or the half hour. Formerly recommended itunes to other streamers, now do not recommend - as there is little radio style software for macs, makes it difficult to recommend Macs as a streaming platform, which is a pity because Macs are great music computers, what with iTunes (when working) being a great dj program, GarageBand, SoundStudio, Audio HiJack etc available.
I'm rather frustrated, fear going backwards and the potential to lose literally 1000's of hours of work building playlists.

My Apple TV and IPad drop after x mintues from "Home Sharing". To restart it, I need to close iTunes on my Windows 7 PC, open it , then I can listen again X minutes (15-90 minutes) to my music via "Home Sharing". Any idea why? What worked for you?

I believe if you updated your Apple TV, you need iTunes 11 to make it work.

My iTunes is not responding. it is frozen in the connection...I can't close out or cancel

I am attempting to sync my new iphone with my itunes on my pc but the itunes is stuck and has been for two days connecting to the store. I can't close out or cancel. I have restarted my computer many times but it does no good. Please help!!!

Just delete the iCloud account from the iPhone. However, if the device has Find My iPhone activated from the previous owner, you will not be able to restore the phone. One of the safety features of iOS 7. But, you can try to delete the iCloud account and then restore via iTunes.

Itunes does not open on my windows 7 computer. If I re-boot the computer I can open it. However if I close itunes I must re-start the computer in order to open itunes again ?? What setting might need changed??

I have downloaded itunes but it will not open on my computer unless I re-start the computer. Then, if I close itunes it will not re-open. A message box appears asking permission for this program to make changes to my computer. I click yes and then nothing happens. I have to shut down and restart to open itunes again. Is there some stiing that needs adjusted?
