Internet Explorer Issue when ITunes is open

I just installed ITunes and have already downloaded some cds. The problem is, Internet Explorer more or less becomes inactive after I open ITunes. If I open Internet Explorer first, it works fine. Once I open ITunes though, the internet more or less stops working. If I open ITunes first, Internet Explorer never loads. It's not giving me an error message or anything and the page just becomes blank. It's showing as if it is connecting to the website though. Any ideas? I will cry if I can't surf the web while importing all 200 disc I have. Thanks!
  Windows XP  

I have this issue since I started using iTunes last year, I keep updating the software but that hasn't helped. Various mswindows systems (2000 + XP, laptops and desktops) with and without being introduced to an iPod.
The basic scenario is that when iTunes is running, at some point the system becomes unresponsive - the windows explorer (complete UI), Lotus Notes, Firefox... it is almost like iTunes is holding a lock on a resource that the others need to redraw their screens.
The only fix I've found is to close iTunes, praying that when I restart it it'll work.
Any suggestions on things to try? Ones like "get the company to switch to a Mac" aren't helpful

    When I try to download applications such as Internet Explorer, Yugma, and iTunes in Firefox, I just get a window that says "save" or "cancel", but never one that says "run" so I don't think it's actually installing anything. It shows up in a "download" window, then the icon shows up on my desktop. When I click on it to launch it, it says "open with" and I get the same "save/cancel" window. It's a continuous circle. What am I doing wrong??
    == This happened ==
    Every time Firefox opened
    == I don't know. I never downloaded apps through Firefox until all of a sudden Internet Explorer didn't work. ==
    == User Agent ==
    Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 8.0; Windows NT 5.1; Trident/4.0; .NET CLR 1.1.4322)

    What application are you choosing to open the files with?
    Because of how integrated it is with windows IE should work. If it's not working, something more widespread could be wrong with your computer that would also prevent other browsers from working properly. Of course we'd love you to stick with Firefox, but you should get help with IE, too.

    I have not found a way for the email hypertext to go to the FaceBook App, but I no longer click on the hypertext as I know whatever information or posting it is directing me to in FaceBook will show up when I open my FaceBook App.  I also have noticed that many pop-ups on the Browser don't actually know if you already have the software they are promoting. 

  • Internet Explorer issues after installing Update KB2955163 on Windows 8

    Dear,
    Since we've installed Windows update KB2955163 on Windows 8, we've been experiencing the following issues:
    - After using Internet Explorer for a long while (one hour or longer), some websites won't work properly anymore. For example: list boxes and pop-ups don't appear.
    - After using Internet Explorer for a long while (one hour or longer), employees can't access any external webpages. They receive a message saying the webpage isn't available. Reconfiguring the Proxy-settings will temporarily fix this problem.
    *The above problems don't appear on all of our computers running Windows 8.
    We've found the only fix for these problems, is to uninstall Windows update KB2955163.
    All of our affected systems are running Windows 8 Enterprise x64, and come from various manufacturers (Dell / HP etc.).
    Is anyone of you guys familiar with these specific issues regarding Windows update KB2955163?
    Many thanks in advance,
    Thom

    Hi,
    Did this issue occur on all computers which installed that update?
    In generally, it's not most likely be Windows update cause.
    Let's narrow down the issue:
    Have you tried to reset the Internet Explorer to check the result:
    1.Close all Internet Explorer windows that are currently open.
    2.Open the desktop, and then tap or click the Internet Explorer icon on the taskbar. Changing your settings will affect both Internet Explorer and Internet Explorer for the desktop.
    3.Tap or click the Tools button, and then tap or click
    Internet options.
    4.Tap or Click the Advanced tab, and then tap or click
    Reset.
    5.In the Reset Internet Explorer Settings dialog box, tap or click Reset.
    6.When Internet Explorer finishes applying default settings, tap or click
    Close, and then tap or click OK. You'll need to restart your PC for these changes to take effect.
    If it persists, perform a clean boot to see if it caused by some third-party software:

    You need to ask Apple for assistance with getting back into your old ID. To do this, click here and pick a method; if that page doesn't list one for your country or you're unable to resolve this issue through the Account Security team, fill out and submit this form.

    While trying to browse the internet the phone would not navigate to internet links on any page when the "hand" was displayed to select the link, depressing the track button would not navigate to the page.  I pulled the battery and things seemed to work fine for a few pages and then it went back to not responding.  I am browsing in the "internet exploer" and not firefox or blackberry explorer. 
    This phone is approximately 5 days old.  I have checked for software updates and there are none.

  • Recent podcasts of podcasts I subscribe to are not downloading when iTunes is opened

    recent podcasts of podcasts I subscribe to are not downloading when iTunes is opened or Touch sync is attempted. 

    Presumably, you normally open iTunes and let it automatically check for new epsiodes. (The frequency with which it does this can be changed, see below.) Have you allowed it time to think about checking? My iTunes is set to check only once a day.
    First of all, make sure that the Settings for Podcast downloads are still set the way you want. (Settings have been known to change - especially after iTunes updates).  Look in Library/Podcasts/Settings (which is at the bottom of the Podcasts window) and makes sure that Check for new episodes: is not set to "manually" and that When new episodes are available is not set to to "do nothing".
    If those settings are okay, make sure that your iTunes can still access the internet. (Can you get the the iTunes Store front page?) If other programmes can access the internet, but iTunes cannot, check that your firewall will allow iTunes access.
    Let us know how you get on.

  • Inserting music cd when itunes is open causes instant reboot

    When itunes is open and I insert a music cd with .cda files on it the computer instantly reboots. It reads and plays back the files fine on other players, but obviously this is no helpful if I want to import into the itunes library.
    I found some posts with similar problems but no solutions posted. Any ideas? Please let me know if I can supply some more info to help find the solution.
    BTW I upgraded the itunes today, but problem remains.

    When I try to install Adobe Update, it tells me to close Internet Explorer.  When I try to close it, I can't get it to close.  Now what?

    I'd recommend going to your task manager and looking for the Internet explorer task (iexplorer.exe).  Once found, right click and end task.  You might have to do this for multiple entries, depending on how many instances of explorer are running.

  • MacBook won't go to sleep when iTunes is open

    Hello, everyone.
    My MacBook refuses to go to sleep by itself when iTunes (version 9.0.3)is open. However, I can make it go to sleep using the Apple menu, the keyboard or the remote control (pressing and holding the play button).
    I've checked this page
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1776
    but the solution is not there.
    When iTunes is open, I make sure there is nothing playing or downloading (no song, no podcast, no video). iTunes checks for new episodes of podcasts every hour, and the computer is set to go to sleep after a few minutes of inactivity.
    Any ideas?
    Best regards,
    Jobuscon

    Hi.
    I had the same problem not to long ago.
    I did the following steps to fix the problem:
    1. Download Smart Sleep preference pane, (install for ALL USERS), and change your computer's sleep mode to SMART SLEEP.
    2. Download and install the latest Debug kit straight from Apple here: http://developer.apple.com/hardwaredrivers/download/usbdebug.html
    (you may need to agree to terms or whatnot)
    3. Once your computer restarts after a successful install of the debug kit, try closing your lid, and make sure you have no USB or other peripherals attached to your MacBook.
    Good luck

    Hello,
    Can anyone help me with this issue or maybe point me in the right direction? Thank you!
    Working with in a ASP that uses reader to display forms. The form opens as an embedded adobe form in a new Internet Explorer window. Once the form opens it pulls data from the ASP. At times when the form opens in the new window both the Internet Explorer windows close. Other times a "user request stop" error appears and once OK is pressed both windows close. The ASP does not know what causes this & can not seem to replicate the problem. ASP is on the other side of the country.
