Impossible to shut down iTunes

Its impossible to stop iTunes, not even when I force iTunes to do so. So I cannot shut down my Mac (Lion) in a normal way and have to use the startbutton to close down. What to do?
(once in a while iTunes does what I want but that is indeed once in a while)

Anyway to auto shut down iTunes at specified time?

Hi my iTunes library stored on a NAS. The NAS is set to sleep overnight.
However if I leave my iTunes on my iMac open, the NAS doesnt auto mount, and then iTunes has loads of errors, cant save file, cant locate iTunes library etc etc. I have to close iTunes, remount NAs (use CMD-K, chose the share), then re-open iTunes. So 2 questions...
1) Is there someway I can auto shut down iTunes at a specified time, ie before my NAS goes to sleep, even if my iMac is asleep or is this impossible?
2) How can I auto mount my NAS share, so every morning when the NAS comes awake, it aut mounts. I leave my iMac on all the time, but it goes to sleep, and just use one log in, ie its always logged in.
cheers

lune:
Lots of questions. I'll try to get to at least a few now.
I am doing the repairs on HD volume rather than the 74.4gb Hitachy, never been sure which one to choose)
When working in Disk Utility, both for Repair Disk and Repair Disk Permissions, you want to select the Manufacturer's ID, instead of the volumne name. You want to work with the volume on the HDD, as the directory is built into the HDD.
Would you say that I should consider the idefrag solution to keep things running smoothly?
Here's what Apple says About disk optimization with Mac OS X. That said, I do a complete disk optimization at least monthly, sometimes twice. I use Tech Tool Pro. It's one of the best all round utilities out there. DriveGenius is supposed to be pretty good, too, but I am not personally familiar with it. It is the one utility that I have heard reported to do repartitioning on the fly successfully.
I'll return to you other questions later.
Good luck.

I have Windows 7. When I try to print an album cover on a CD I burned, I get an error message that there is a problem and it shuts down iTunes and says will notify me once the problem is fixed

I have iTunes version 11.3.1.2 and a Windows 7 Professional aith Service Pack 1. When I try to print a CD cover from a disc I burned, I get an error message that stops the printing task and shuts down iTunes and tells me once the problem is found they will notify me. When this happened before I got sent a message from Apple that I needed to install a new verion of iTunes. I believe I now have the latest iTunes version. So why can't I print?
Is this the problem below? Does the graphics driver cause the problem?

NVIDIA Graphics Driver has stopped working properly.
A driver update, if available, might prevent this problem from recurring.

Try a different media. I have good luck using Maxell discs.

Data Execution Prevention shutting down iTunes even with exception added

Well, was having this problem, it miraculously fixed itself for like a day but now it is happening again. Data Exectuion Prevention for Windows keeps shutting down iTunes. I have gone into the DEP settings and added an exception for it to not apply to iTunes but it is still happening every time I open iTunes. Today I downloaded and installed the new version of iTunes, hoping that would make a difference, but it is still happening. Also, since I installed that version about an hour ago, iTunes keeps opening itself without me telling it to--every five minutes I see it opening without me doing anything and then immediately being closed by DEP. I am getting very frustrated. Thanks in advance for any help.

I had the same issue after my recent update of iTunes. I didn't update Quicktime 'cuz I don't use it much (or at all). On another thread discussing the same issue, I saw that the Quicktime installation can affect iTunes. So I downloaded the latest Quicktime, installed, redooted - issue fixed (for now).

HT201413 Why does Data Execution Protection or lack thereof keep shutting down iTunes

Why does Data Execution Protection or lack thereof keep shutting down iTunes?

Sounds like you have a battry issue but don't want to believe it.
If a car was running fine on one tank of gas, then you filled it up with another tank of gas and it began to run funny, one might suspect that tank of gas. But let's just say coincidence blew a valve-- would you think the new tank of gas was the culprit?
BUT WAIT!! It just might have been! The gas could have been of higher octane and put more more strain on the valves; you know, like going from 87 octane (OS6) to 93 octane (OS7) and showing you the engine was on the edge of compromise.
Sometimes you have to go with common sense. If everything else is ruled out, it must be the battery. And if it runs fine one moment in OS6 but immediately ***** in OS7, I'd believe my battery was suspect-- though comfy-- in OS6 but the OS7 showed its true power.
Moreover, if you had the answer-- or didn't want to believe someone's more competent advice-- why did you even call? You've already shown that you don't know much when you asked if you could go backwards after setting up the new OS as a new phone.
Additonally, if you're such the know-it-all, but yourself the $29 battery and put it in yourself. It's a piece of cake.

This will fix it. It's from another conversation. Sony Singh posted this.
Copy QTMovieWin.dll from: C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Apple\Apple Application Support

Shutting down iTunes causes system to slow down

When ever I shut down iTunes my computer slows down considerably. When I check windows task manager under processes it shows iTunes to be still active and taking up about 90% of my system resources. I have to shut down iTunes in task manager to solve this problem. Does anyone know what may cause this?

When your mailboxes were moved to Office 365, your directory should have been updated so it pointed to the mailboxes in Office 365, not to your local Exchange 2003 mailboxes. Just thinking this through, I think your consultant didn't do a complete
job. With the Exchange 2013 PowerShell tools, you should be able to update your 500 accounts so they point to the proper system for the mailboxes.

When synchronizing my iphone4 on the computer it errors out when optimizing the photos and shuts down iTunes. Any idea what to do to get the synch working?

OKay, here is the deal. You cannot change the location of encrypted files nor can you share them with other machines. There is no file server for iTunes so even if you export the movie index from iTunes to an external volume, each time you reboot your computer itunes has to reindex the external drive every time you want to access the files. The second you run your mobile computer without the external drive or try to access the HD movies from another device or another user on the same network, the indexing gets out of synch. The entire process is self defeating regardless. The HD movies are encapsulized by apple to stream to your devices via iCloud and NOT via Cloud. Only your TV can play 1080p. That single file you download from iTunes has mutiple versions of the same video in the capsul, one version for each type of apple device. There are no 1080p apple devices except for the Apple TV. When you buy a movie you are buying a license and not the movie. It's going to get worse with all the new copywrite laws. Already you cant share any apple devices with other itunes accounts. Your airport express just stopped streaming music to all users on the local home sharing Cloud. Only the one user for each device and soon only airplay speakers connected directly to the device. No more passthru via your TV and no more file sharing with other accounts on the same wi-fi. All the ISPs are doing the same thing. And soon everybody will be buying their phones and TV's and iPads from the cabble guy.
Apple has done a poor job of educating the consumer as to the difference between the Cloud and iCloud. They are not the same at all.

Rip it up and start again. See the second box in Troubleshooting issues with iTunes for Windows updates.

hi i had the same problem today when i updated my itunes to latest version. however, i have just found my songs in the 'itunes media' folder. this was accessed through 'my music' then keep clicking through until you find itunes media and all my library songs were in there and i then just added these files to my library and all were restored however, i have lost all my playlists but at least my 700 songs are back. very dissapointed with apple that they have let this happen with their latest update, the previous version was miles better than this one . hope you find them. stevo

Click on a movie to play, shuts down iTunes--HELP!!!

Okay, long lengthy road to this point, but I can give you the basics here:
--purchased and downloaded videos
--backed my library up with videos
--windows xp's years of patches started giving me crap
--upgraded to windows 7
--reinstalled itunes
--used backup discs to bring back my videos to use
--music and newly downloaded video podcasts work fine
--clicked on a video to play and it asked me to authorize it (what the ****?) on this computer (its the same computer, different OS, but i authorized it)
--clicked on the video again to play, shut down itunes. clicked on other videos, the same result.
I'm really wondering what happened, because it never did that to me before. I mean, i even system restored it to the very day i installed it just in case i made some little missteps in the process, but the same thing happened. Every time i click on a itunes movie, it shuts it down. I wonder if something went weird in the backup or if there's something else that needs to be done, but this is just ridiculous.

okay, i opened it up and apparently it works okay now
but if it has PMS again, i'll let you guys know. weird.

Why is my Library deleted in Version 10.3 everytime I shut down Itunes

Ever since I upgraded to the latest version of I-tunes Version 10.3.1.56 I lose my library files when I shut down Itunes. I can rebuild them by scanning my music but I have to rebuild the playlists and I lose all history of what has been played. I do not lose any music just the library files. Then when I sync I'm told the Itouch is synced to another library so it reloads the whole thing again which takes over an hour. I'm running on Vista. Can I go back a version or is there a way to fix this issue in V10.3.1.56?

I think you are on to something Polydorus. I'm testing now. I have an HP Simplesave device that I unplugged on startup of my PC and Itunes is keeping the library after several startups and shutdowns. I then plugged in the device to provide continuous backup and the library went away. I just updated the Simplesave software to the latest release, rebuilt my library and so far the library is staying. More testing to be done but THANKS for the tip.
