I cant open my itunes because "another user as it open"

Hellow, I have itunes for two years now and recently when I am trying to open my itune it just open a window saying "you cannot open the application itubes because another user as it open" but I dont have another user on my windows 7 computer so I dont understant what I should do?

1. First check if this file APSDaemon.exe is the problem here.
Close your iTunes.
Press Ctrl-Alt-Del key and choose Task Manager. In the "Processes" Tab, select the file APSDaemon.exe and click End Prosses button, then close the task manager window.
Now open itunes and see if it is working?
If that works, to prevent having to do the same process everytime you restart Windows, go to. START button, type in
MSCONFIG
Hit ENTER
Click STARTUP Tab, Uncheck "Apple Push", click OK.
Restart Windows.
2. If that fails, refer to following article to remove SC Info.lib file:
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS2363
3. If that fails, repair or reinstall your Quicktime. START / CONTROL PANEL / PROGRAMS N FEATURES / hightlight QUICKTIME and click REPAIR.

"You cannot open the application "itunes" because another user has it open" I'm the only user

Before you ask, no, I don't have more than one user account.
I have nothing running that would be using itunes either, it just won't allow me to open itunes.
I even went to the task manager to see if it was somehow open elsewhere, and it's not.
I can restart my computer and it'll work the first time to open, but not after that, even though like I said, it isn't running period.

dcwdcw:
The solution to your problem is to close the other user's copy of iTunes, so that you are only using one copy of iTunes at any time. As long as you have separate user accounts, your nephew's iTunes and everything in it will be separate.
I assume the problem is that having two copies of iTunes open at the same time violates the licence to use iTunes which, in common with "paid for" software, usually has the restriction that you can only use one copy at a time unless you have a _multiple user_ licence.
Of course it's a bit silly - iTunes is free, but I suspect that's what the problem is.
The original poster has a different problem though, but I don't understand ATV because I don't have it, which is why I haven't been able to help the OP. Hopefully, someone else can.

TS1368 Cannot connect to/open application to ITune. Message states "because another user has it open. Ask them to quit and retry." However, there is no other user. Help!

Cannot connect to/open application to ITune. Messages states that it cannot open "because another user has it open. Ask them to quite and retry." However there is no other user??? Thanks for any help.

You Windows must have different user profile where iTunes is open in that profile. Switch windows user and close the iTunes, then return to your own user profile to open again.

ITunes says another user has it open - but I am the only user on this Win7 box

Hello!
Recently, my iTunes will periodically say that it can't open because another user has it open. However, there is only one user account on this Win7 machine. If I restart the machine, the problem will sometimes go away, but will return. I have re-installed iTunes, and that has not fixed the problem. When I get this error message, I go to the task manager and it says there is only one user on the machine and "itunes.exe" is not on the list of running processes. ("ituneshelper.exe" is running, and I have stopped that process - but no effect on the problem.)
I have seen mention of this problem when using "fast user switching" in Windows 7, but there is only one user account on this machine. I am not switching between users.
iTunes: 10.3.1.55
OS: Windows 7 (64 bit)
Please advise! Thank you.
Regards,
Brad

Do you still get that after restarting the PC?

I am told I cannot open my Itunes account because another user has it open.

How can I open the Itunes account when am the only user and don't know of another user on my account?

Your account might of been hacked, or it could of been an error. Try signing in again later, and if that still there, contact apple, or at last resort, you could make a new apple ID.
Hope this helps.

When i try to sync i get a message that says another user has it open

I am trying to use itunes to sync my ipod and ipad (which I have done many times) and I get a message that says that another user has it open and it needs to be closed. Does anyone have any guidance?

A new one for me... A Reset never hurts and may help:
Press and hold both the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears (ignore the Slide to Power Off option that shows up first).
The message has nothing to do with iDevice.

I cant use my itunes because i dont know my secrity qusetions

i cant use my itunes because i dont know my secrity qusetions

If you have a rescue email address (which is not the same thing as an alternate email address) set up on your account then you can try going to https://appleid.apple.com/ and click 'Manage your Apple ID' on the right-hand side of that page and log into your account. Then click on 'Password and Security' on the left-hand side of that page and on the right-hand side you might see an option to send security question reset info to your rescue email address.
If you don't have a rescue email address then see if the instructions on this user tip helps : https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-4551

Can i use a 2nd iphone if i install itunes on another user account.when i tried to create a second library i messed up both phones, the second one now has all my contacts and when it sends txts it either says its my other phone or email address

can i use a 2nd iphone if i install itunes on another user account.when i tried to create a second library i messed up both phones, the second one now has all my contacts and when it sends txts it either says its my other phone or email address. i can cope with the first phone and getting it back on itunes but dont want to syn the 2nd phone until i know it is independant of the other one. Does it matter that both phones use the same itunes store account?

Deleting the account on your phone only removes if from your phone. The account and it's data remain intact and doing so will not effect your daughter's phone.
To do this, first go to Settings>iCloud on your phone and turn any synced data (contacts, calendars, etc.) to Off, and when prompted, choose to keep the data on the phone. When finished, scroll to the bottom and tap Delete Account. Then set up a new iCloud account with a different Apple ID and turn any data you want to sync with iCloud (contact, calendars, etc.) back to On. This will upload your data to your new iCloud account.

TS3212 I can't open my iTunes because it says MSVCR80.dll was not found. What can I do? Have I lost my entire library?

I can't open my iTunes because it says MSVCR80.dll was not found. What can I do? Have I lost my entire library? Thank you for any help.

Click here and follow the instructions. You may need to completely remove and reinstall iTunes and all related components, or run the process multiple times; this won't normally affect its library, but that should be backed up anyway.

'File in Use' message is received when one user is in the report and another user tries to open the Excel template

‘File in Use’ message is received when one user is in the report and another user tried to open the excel template. how to make excel template shared for multiple users so the users don’t see the ‘File in Use’ message?

Hi Febin,
In addition to others’ replies, we can create a shared workbook and place it on a network location where several people can
edit the contents simultaneously. For example, if the people in your work group each handle several projects and need to know the status of each other's projects, the group can use a shared workbook to track the status of the projects. All persons involved
can then enter the information for their projects in the same workbook.
Regarding how to do this,
the following article can be referred to reference.
Use a shared workbook to collaborate

I can't open downloaded files because other USER Profile defaults

I inherited a laptop using Vista, which has Firefox vs.27.0.1.
I set up a new user profile for Firefox, using my name.
When I download a file, it shows up in the download section (the arrow at the top right of the address bar)
When I click on it and open it...another Users information appears c:/USERS/ADAM/DESKTOP/DESKTOP
The file tries to open and then disappears.
How to I change my setup so that I can download AND open files without them being blocked by the original user?

Delete a possible user.js file and numbered prefs-##.js files and rename (or delete) the prefs.js file to reset all prefs to the default value including prefs set via user.js and prefs that are no longer supported in the current Firefox release.
*http://kb.mozillazine.org/Preferences_not_saved
Create a new profile as a test to check if your current profile is causing the problem.
See "Creating a profile":
*https://support.mozilla.org/kb/profile-manager-create-and-remove-firefox-profiles
*http://kb.mozillazine.org/Standard_diagnostic_-_Firefox#Profile_issues
If the new profile works then you can transfer files from a previously used profile to the new profile, but be cautious not to copy corrupted files to avoid carrying over the problem
