Command quit will close the iTunes window but won't quit the iTunes app

iTunes 12.1.0.50
Command quit will close the iTunes library window... but won't quit the iTunes app properly.
The iTunes icon in the dock still says the app is live... click the icon in the dock and the library window pops up again.
On the second try the app will always close properly.

I had the same problem: after updating to iTunes 9.1 (no errors) I just couldn't launch it. In Task Manager I saw that the iTunes process was running but it never really opened.
After nights of frustration of scanning the net for solutions I finally managed to get iTunes to run again.
1) Firstly I deleted the new iTunes 9.1 and all programmes associated with it according to the directions given here: http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1923
It also mentions you should remove the Bonjour service but I could never make that work (no privileges or something like that).
2) After that I reinstalled a previous version of iTunes. In this case 9.0.3.15. I got the download here: http://www.oldapps.com/itunes.php
3) Then I disabled the Bonjour service with the MSCONFIG method mentioned at http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2292?viewlocale=en_US
There they state that you should check which service clashes with Windows by trying to disable one service at a time. I found out pretty quickly that it was just the Bonjour service that caused the problems. All other services could run normally.
After the reboot iTunes finally started up again and I was able to restore my library.
Only thing is that I can not use the Remote App on my iPod Touch. That apparently required the use of Bonjour.
I hope this method helps for some of you!
Cheers,
Bart

  • Using Command + ` toggles ONCE through my Safari windows, but won't cycle BACK.  Why?

    I read up on how to toggle through my Safari windows by using the Command + ` and it works fine to go forward, but it won't go back to the other window once I use it.
    Example: I have 2 (two) open Safari windows, I use Command + ` to move to the other window, but once at that window, using Command + ` again will NOT move me back to my original Safari window.  Why? 
    What keyboard shortcut can I use to go back/circle all the way through?  I know about using Expose' and other shortcuts, but I am looking specifically for a KEYBOARD shortcut. 
    Thank you in advance,
    mVice

    Okay, I was sadly mistaken!!! The bête noire tis back!  It seems as if whenever I have a video playing within Safari, it prevents the window cycling to go past the window playing the video.
    So lets say I have four windows open:
    1=google.com
    2=facebook.com
    3=projectfreetv.com(home page)
    4=breakingbad.projectfreetv.com(actual video). 
    If I am on #1, I can cycle to #2, #3, and #4, but it stops after its hits #4, (actual video).  I then can manually click on #3, and it will cycle to #4, but then it stops.  If I manually click on #2, it will go to #3, but stop after #4.  If I am on #4, it wont cycle.
    So, N.Hillyer, I tried your suggestion, but alas, if I am watching a video, it will not allow me to cycle past that window.  What is the deal?  And no, it's not just projectfreetv's website, it also prevents cycling from uverse.com, abc.com, mtv.com etc.  This is quite frustrating!  No matter how many times I clear the cache, once I start watching a video it prevents me from cycling :-(  Please help!
    Thanks in advance,

  • Ipod will connect to computer & charge but won't connect to itunes.

    for some reason, my ******** ipod that ive had no problems with since i got it (a few months ago), won't connect to itunes but yet will charge. ive tried a different usb port, and ive tried to reset my ipod, but it still wont connect. i dont want to have to re-install itunes & have to save all my music to a different place (blah blah) but i guess if i have to i will.
    HELP. because i really need to add new music to my ipod & this is really starting to make me mad.

    Hi kirsten,
    If your iPod is "********", do we want to bother to fix the problem?
    Assuming it isn't "********", have you tried the 5 R's?

  • HT4061 I downloaded videos previously purchased for my ipod touch from my itunes account into my ipad2 3rd generation. the music plays but won't show the video other than a freeze frame of the video I am playing

    I downloaded videos previously purchased for my ipod touch from my itunes account into my ipad 3. The music plays but not the video, only shows a picture from the video. How can I make play the actual video

    Then look in the videos app. That is where music videos will play.

  • My email accounts on my iphone 4s show the message titles but won't display the main message.  How can I view the main message?

    I am stuck.  I recently travelled abroad and changed the settings on my iphone.  I thought that I had changed them all back but messages in my mail accounts show the titles but when I click into them the main message doesn't download.  Is anyone able to tell me what settings I need to change to be able to view the main messages?

    Try closing the Mail app completely and see if it works properly when you re-open the app : from the home screen (i.e. not with the Mail app 'open' on-screen) double-click the home button to bring up the taskbar, then press and hold any of the apps on the taskbar for a couple of seconds or so until they start shaking, then press the '-' in the top left of the Mail app to close it, and touch any part of the screen above the taskbar so as to stop the shaking and close the taskbar.
    If that doesn't work also do a reset : press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the equivalent of a reboot.

  • Photoshop elements 9 will load on my mac but won't open the Edit portion

    Adobe Photoshop Elements 9
    Mac os 10.6.8
    E9 loaded on my mac fine the first time (about 1 year ago) but recently it refused to open the edit feature. I was advised that file were missing from the application. I did an uninstall and reloaded the mac disc.  It appears to load fine, but will only open the organizer and not the edit feature.  I have done 3 uninstalls and installs but I get the same message each time I try to open the edit feature.

    The cursor on my tools is a blurr of severl + signs and other nondiscript items
    The update won't change that. See:

    Let's try a standalone Apple Mobile Device Support install. It still might not install, but fingers crossed any error messages will give us a better idea of the underlying cause of why it's not installing under normal conditions.
    Download and save a copy of the iTunesSetup.exe (or iTunes64setup.exe) installer file to your hard drive:
    http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
    Download and install the free trial version of WinRAR:
    http://www.rarlab.com/
    Right-click the iTunesSetup.exe (or iTunes64setup.exe), and select "Extract to iTunesSetup" (or "Extract to iTunes64Setup"). WinRAR will expand the contents of the file into a folder called "iTunesSetup" (or "iTunes64Setup").
    Go into the folder and doubleclick the AppleMobileDeviceSupport.msi (or AppleMobileDeviceSupport64.msi) to do a standalone AMDS install.
    (If it offers you the choice to remove or repair, choose "Remove", and if the uninstall goes through successfully, see if you can reinstall by doubleclicking the AppleMobileDeviceSupport.msi again.)
    Does it install (or uninstall and then reinstall) properly for you? If so, can you get a normal iTunes install to go through properly now?
    If instead you get an error message during the install (or uninstall), let us know what it says. (Precise text, please.)

    Yes.
    Restore your iTunes library from your computer's backup along with all other important data that should be included with your computer's backup such as your documents, photos, etc.
    Important to maitain a backup with any computer platfirm but event more so with Windows due to being very insecure and unreliable,

  • I can't download the Adobe Premiere Elements 13. Akamai Download pop up only the download window but downloading do not start. Alternate download Method will start but downloading will stopped always after 655 Megabytes. I have tried with different browse

    I can't download the Adobe Premiere Elements 13. Akamai Download pop up only the download window but downloading do not start. Alternate download Method will start but downloading will stopped always after 655 Megabytes. I have tried with different browsers, fire wall and virus protection off and also to download the trial of Adobe Premiere Elements 13 but result is every time same.

    if you follow all 7 steps you can directly download a trial here:  http://prodesigntools.com/photoshop-elements-13-direct-download-links-premiere.html
    and activate with your serial number.
    if you have a problem starting the download, you didn't follow all 7 steps, or your browser does not accept cookies. 
    the most common problem is caused by failing to meticulously follow steps 1,2 and/or 3 (which adds a cookie to your system enabling you to download the correct version from adobe.com). 
    failure to obtain that cookie results in an error page being displayed after clicking a link on prodesigntools.com or initiates the download of an incorrect (eg, current) version.

    I can see the Application folder in the Finder window but can't seem to get it back on to my dock.
    Any help would be appreciated it!

    Close all windows and quit all applications.
    Launch Finder by clicking the Finder icon in the Dock.
    Right click the "Application" folder and select "Get Info".
    At the bottom of the resulting window there will be a blue folder icon in the preview section.
    Drag the whole window to the right side of the desktop,closer to the Dock.
    Now drag the blue preview folder to the Dock right of the separator line.
    Right click the folder icon and select "Folder" under "Display as" if it is not shown as folder.

    If the amount of the purchase is close to $21.07, then you need to take into account taxes may be added.
    If you go beyond the credit from a gift card the balance will be billed to your credit card account.

  • I have an iPod touch and an iPad4. iTunes lets me work with the iPod Touch but won't show me what's on the iPad. Any ideas?

    I have an iPod Touch and an iPad4. iTunes recognises both items and lets me work with the iPod Touch but won't work with the iPad. In fact iTunes does not respond to clicking on anything in the iPad window even though it knows that it's connected. Any ideas?

    Look her and it may give insite on what is missing. Otherwise:
    Apple will exchange your iPod for a refurbished one for $99. Likely not worth it for a your iPod. They do not fix yours.

  • Have reformatted my Imac using original discs (installed leopard (10.5)) tried to do the software update but it cant download the itunes update and when it gets to the configure update screen after restart for main update, it just gets stuck. HELP!

    have reformatted my Imac using original discs (installed leopard (10.5)) tried to do the software update but it cant download the itunes update and when it gets to the configure update screen after restart for main update, it just gets stuck. HELP!
    The configure bar gets about an 1/8 full and then just does nothing. I think its lists the update as combo update? cant remember with out checking.
    I have tried to do the disk verify and repair but this has made no difference.
    Please let me know what i need to do, I have reformatted the mac just to start over as was clogged with a lot of useless data, I had installed lion (10.7) from the app store previously and now cant seem to find a way to re install lion. I hope I dont need to pay for it again?

    If you erased your hard drive, you'll need to reinstll OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard to access the App store. You won't have to pay for OS X 10.7 Lion again. Did you try booting to the recovery partition by holding the command and r keys down? If that's still there, you can reinstall OS X 10.7 from there.
    If you're looking to install the current iTunes, you need OS X 10.6.8 at a minimum.
    If you're still trying to update OS X 10.5 Leopard, you can download the combo update from here.  Download, use Disk Utility to repair permissions, apply the update, then repair permissions again. That will take you to OS X 10.5.8.
