Closing iTunes - Program Usinf Scripting Interface

Hi,
Using Windows x64 and iTunes 7.02. When I close iTunes I am presented with a message window stating that iTunes scripting Interface is in use by another program and will be shut down in 20 seconds.
Anyone know what other program that could be and why? Or indeed any other explanation for this fault that has only recently appeared.

Do you have any iTunes utility programs that might use the scripting interface?
For example:

  • ITunes shut down scripting interface used by other applications

    Everytime I try to close iTunes I get a dialogue box stating:
    "One or more applications are using the iTunes scripting interface. Are you sure you want to quit?" Kind of annoying, anyone know how to fix this?

    This is a fairly common annoyance. iTunes has a scripting interface that a host of applications use to talk to it. It could be any one of a number of processes that are running at the time. Usually it's some other media related application that can synch to an iPod but it could be some unsuspect application as well, logitech setPoint for example is often sited. To find out, see whats currently running in the background (Press <ctrl><alt><delet> and click on the Processes tab in Windows Task Manager). Make a list of suspects then try shutting down those applications. You have Task Manager end the process, but only if you know which ones are safe to terminate. Once you find the culprit you can possibly make that application run manually or remove it. Otherwise you just have to live with itunes quirks.

  • Windows Vista Closing iTunes Program

    I was listening to a podcast and the iTunes progam shut down. I was tinkering with options or something regarding the podcast at the time the shut down occurred. It asked if I wanted iTunes as my default media player and I said no.
    When the program stopped. A message box from Windows popped up saying: "A problem caused the program to stop working correctly. Windows will close the program." Then another box pops up saying an updated version of iTunes is available to fix the problem. I've downloaded it several times. Cleared off the old program, even tried restoring Windows to an earlier version. Nothing is working and I'm jonesing for my iTunes darnit! Please help me.

  • "one or more application is using itunes scripting interface"

    Everytime I exit itunes, a windows pops up saying that message. How do I get rid of it? I don't know any programs that maybe using itunes scripting interface. Please help.

    well, you're the first one I''m seen reporting this, so that makes me think it is unique to your PC. So I doubt an updated iTunes version is going to "fix" this.
    The way to find things like this is by using MSCONFIG as explained in these directions. But it is tedious to find it, requires a lot of PC restarting. You said it's not a big deal, so you might not want to spend the time.

    I have a windows Xp computer. and i needed to download the newest itunes to support my ipod touch. but now my computer doesn't let me open itunes. The the data execution prevention pops up and says "to protect your computer, windows has closed this program. Data execution prevention (DEP) helps protect against damage from viruses and other threat." I tried excluding itunes from DEP on settings but it still doesn't work. I don't know what to do. please help me!!!
    thanks 

    try to select the computer cd/dvd autorun off.
    I had the same problem, then Kaspersky software found a conflict suggesting me this solution.
    Itunes now works...even if it always asks to set the cd/dvd autorun on when lunched.

  • ITunes 10.5.3 restarts itself after closing the program. How do I fix this?

    iTunes 10.5.3 restarts itself after closing the program. How do I fix this?
    Windows 7 64bit Ultimate
    iTunes 10.5.3 64bit

    I've had this problem on my Windows XP for years. it's been around, unsolved, or no solutions in these forums.
    It keeps reminding me why Apple will never be the primary office computer company. Anyone running a business cannot have software running that will not behave, won't shut down, or behaves without any explanation, and this problem has no explanation, or solution that I can find except to use task manager to kill the process and only use iTunes when I'm expecting to shut down or kill the process.

  • HELP!!!  Message - (One or more applications are using the iTunes scripting interface. Are you sure you want to quit?)  How do I get this to stop?

    I bought a new Sony Vaio Laptop running Windows 8, 64bit, i7 processor.  Everytime I open iTunes and then close out, the following message occurs: (i-tunes message - One or more applications are using the iTunes scripting interface. Are you sure you want to quit?) Then it starts counting down from 20 seconds unless I just click on the (Quit) button.  How do I get this to stop?  Please be specific, I am challenged when it comes down to computers.
    Thank You

    This was extremely annoying for me, also.  I started uninstalling unneeded Sony applications to try to narrow down the problem.  It turned out not to be a Sony application... it is some functionality built into the bluetooth driver software package by Broadcom.  Uninstalling the bluetooth package (via the control panel) takes care of the problem.  Itunes also boots up way quicker.  But uninstalling it will remove features related to bluetooth and nfc.   For me, that isn't an issue, since I don't use them.  Since you said you're "computer challenged" I would probably just send an email to sony complaining about the problem.  They'll get in touch with Broadcom eventually (the manufacture of the drivers) and get the problem fixed.
    Side note: the Broadcom package is huge...  nearly 1GB in size.  Which is crazy.  I can't imagine what it does considering the size of it.  Entire operating systems can take up less storage.  Also, I have no idea how it starts an itunes plugin without placing it into the standard plugin directories.

  • Scripting interface message when closing???

    Every time I quit iTunes, a message pops up that I don't understand.."one or more applications are using the iTunes scripting interface are you sure you want to quit?." What does this mean and how can I eliminate it?

    Hi, welcome to Apple Discussions.
    You don't have to stop using the thing that's causing it, but you should close that before you close iTunes so that it can release the scripting object that it has created. As far as I'm aware there is no other way to suppress that warning message.

  • Why Might Data Execution Prevention Be Closing iTunes 11.2.0.115?

    I don’t own any Apple hardware and only use iTunes to listen to songs I purchased in the iTunes store that only work in iTunes. I started noticing problems when I updated to version 11.2.0.115 today. The “iTunes.exe” process remains in the “Processes” list of my Windows Task Manager for about 30 seconds after I exit the program. A balloon then appears in my taskbar saying Data Execution Prevention has closed iTunes. Windows Help and Support suggests seeing if a DEP-compatible version is available before turning DEP off for the program. I’m using Microsoft Windows Vista Home Premium Service Pack 2 32-bit. What, if anything, can I do?

    I fixed it on my computer.  Not sure which of the steps I did fixed it so I will list all of them.
    I wasn't getting the error until I did the following (to prevent it from just crashing on logging into the iTunes Store)
    https://discussions.apple.com/message/23987910#23987910
    I added C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Apple\Apple Application Support; to the system variables PATH (depending on your operating system, your file path will be different).  How to do that has been outlined in the above linked article.
    This now caused DEP to freak out whenever I logged into the store and close iTunes.  Adding iTunes to the DEP filter didn't solve the problem.  So I removed all the saved system settings for iTunes and ran Apple Software Update.  I also went to the DEP and added every .exe I could find in C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Apple to the exceptions list (again, depending on your OS the file path may be different.)
    To remove the saved system settings for iTunes you can find those in C:\Documents and Settings (for Win XP) or C:\Users (for Win 8).  Find a folder named AppData or Application data under various user names and remove any Apple related files you can.  I had one .log file that couldn't be deleted, but that shouldn't be a problem.

  • DEP (Date Execution Prevention) Closed iTunes due to security reason

    I just bought a new laptop (SONY SR) operated with Window Vista. My laptop never run iTunes since I installed it. I tried uninstall and reinstall again n again, but it just doesn't work.
    A screen appeared and say that iTunes stopped working, DEP (Data Execution Prevention) has closed iTunes due to security reason.
    How do I off that "DEP"? Thanks!!!

    Hi, I just got this problem solved. Hope it helps.
    You don't have to turn off DEP or reinstall any program.
    The only thing you need to do is associate your Quicktime files ONLY to QuickTime player.
    When you open QuickTime it will automatically pop up a window to ask you if you want to fix file association. The answer is positive of course.
    If it still doesn't work maybe you could uninstall some codec / media players which associate with QuickTime files.

  • Minimize and closing ITunes

    After installing both version 7 and 8 of ITunes, it is now very hard to minimize or close the program using the _ or X in the upper right hand corner. If I click several times on each and then click serveral times at ramdon on othe parts of the program, I can usually get it to work. I can always go the the task bar and complete my actions there, but am wondering if anyone else has had this same problem closing or minimizing ITunes.
    Thanks, Randy

    I have been also having this issue with my 5th Gen 30gb iPod. Once plugged in, iTunes does not minimize, but when closing, iTunes restarts by itself. After closing it again, it restarts again, over and over. This does only occur when the iPod is plugged in.
    A fresh install of Windows XP Pro does not change this issue on my PC. I have noticed this issue has only started within the last month; the iPod was purchased in Oct. '06.
    Thank you.

  • Scripting Interface message

    I am getting the scripting interface message whenever I close iTunes. I know what's causing it, I just want to know if there's a way I can prevent it from popping up every time I close iTunes. I don't want to stop using the thing that's causing it.

  • ITunes program closes immediately after opening.

    Don't know if anyone is able to help, but I have downloaded the latest iTunes program and now everytime I open the program it immediately closes. It is too fast in closing to click on anything within the program. I contacted Technical support who told me to uninstall and reinstall, which I did, but that hasn't solved the problem. Is it a problem unique to me, or a problem with the program. Any ideas on how to solve it?

    Thanks for the reply to my message, I really appreciate the time that you have taken to assist.
    I have checked Quicktime and that appears to be working normally.
    I have checked Task Manager Processes tab while starting iTunes and iTunes.exe appears as the program is opening, but disappears when the program closes.
    I have run a full system scan, and apart from a 'tracking cookie' that I fixed, the system is clean.
    I then went to the link that you suggested and started to 'troubleshoot'. I initially created a New User Account, and was able to determine that the problem DID NOT occur in the new account. As such, I went to 'User-Specific Troubleshooting'.
    I deleted the SC Info.sidb file as directed with no change to the problem. I also removed 'iTunes Plug-ins' as directed with no luck in fixing the problem, as well I removed 'iTunes preference files' with no luck either.
    I am unable to 'Recreate my iTunes Library', or 'Check for content files with issues' as directed in the next step as the iTunes program problem that I have only has the program opening for one second before closing.
    Again, I really am thankful for your reply, and any other assistance or advice you are able to provide to help fix the problem would also be greatly appreciated.
