ITunes 10.x.x.x Windows XP SP Will not shut down

Every time I run itunes 10, in this case 10.6.1.7 but for all iTunes in the past year or more - it will not shut down and stay shut down.
some suggest turning off "default player for audio" -- nice suggestion, but I do that and iTunes messages that I don't have privileges (I'm the administrator).
I turn off Bonjour -- itunes complains, but shuts down only to startup again.
I am NOT sharing music with other computers.
So the cryptic "don't have privileges" -- anyone know what Apple is looking for in this restriction?
Can't uncheck "default music player" -- anyone have a clue as to why not ?
Thanks for looking.

The idea of a 3rd party unrelated app didn't seem reasonable, but in Windows, I brought up the the Windows Task Manager (similar to MacBook Activity Monitor) and started "ENDING" the tasks that seemed to be unrelated to the system but used for certain applications.
When I stopped a task related to my Linksys Music Bridge (I was using Airlink-101 music bridge tools to access the bridge) this allowed iTunes to start and stop without automatically restarting.
On XP, the task was "CMFLYWAV" not sure why it's called that, but I now use Bluetooth to send audio to my HiFi using a Logitech Speaker Adapter that works great, and doesn't cause problems for iTunes.
There are probably other unessential tasks running on those machine that still have this "won't shut down" problem.
Thanks for the hint, but I was heading down that road as the next step, assuming something else was forcing iTunes to stay active. But I would not have expected it to be a network speaker driver as it was in my case.

Windows 7 64bit will not shut down after using firefox, Why???

After using Firefox the only way I can shut down is to kill the power, normal shut down does not work. When I use internet explorer I have no problem, unless I have used Firefox during the session.

Itunes will not shut down. it keeps reopening?

its the latest version, windows 7 is up to date. after updating iphone and ipad tp iOS 5 itune keeps opening every 2-3 minutes, it will not stop! i uninstalled it and reinstalled, still the same. this is maddening!

Hi jkherman.
I am having a similar problem. I shut down iTunes and then shut off my computer (MBP 13", 2.9 GHz i7, OS X 10.9).
When I reboot, iTunes appears to be running, however the window is not visible, but the icon is lit from underneath in my dock and iTunes is running when I check the Activity Monitor.
Also, it will not shut down from the dock icon. I need to go into Force Quit to shut it down.
Any ideas?
Thanks!

Itunes will not shut down on mac

My itunes will not shut down when I close it out. The itunes ball will bounce up and down and reopen itself.
I am running 10.6.8 Snow Leopard and this has started in the last 3 weeks.
I thought it was my blackberry software and had that removed. It has continued afterwards.
I do have all of my music on an external hard drive.
Thanks

Thanks wjosten I have read that and all the links in it. I did finally get it to work. I downloaded iTunes and reinstalled it. Now the one computer I wanted it to work with is OK.

Hello vina8sy,
After reviewing your post, it sounds like the iPhone will turn off after a sync but the iPad will not. I would recommend that you read this article, it may be able to help the issue.
If your iOS device restarts, displays the Apple logo, or powers off while you're using it - Apple Support
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
Have a nice day,

showing same progressing message of shutting down only .
Task manager ctrl alt del also not working... I do nt know , what to do . please help on this.
Thank you

Hi,
If it only remains in a shutting down process all the time, then we can do nothing, please hold on the power button to power down your PC, then reboot, check whether your PC can function fine. After boot into your PC, please view the event viewer,
find whether there're some error information recorded under item Windows logs\Application, setup, system.
View Windows update history under control panel\windows update, see if there're some failed updates, install them again.

Macbook pro will not shut down if I have opened iTunes 10.4

I have an Intel Core 2 Duo Macbook Pro running Mac OS X Lion. Unfortunately if I've used iTunes at all my laptop will only shut down if I hold the power button for 10 seconds. This occurs after every application including iTunes has been shut down. If I have not opened iTunes during a session then the computers shuts down normally. Can I do anything about this, is it serious, and has anyone else encountered the same problem? Thanks for any help givien.

I'm not entirely sure if mine does this after I only run itunes, but after normal use of my browser and email, my coumputer only shuts down if I hold the button. I'm not quite sure what's going on, but I'll update you if I find a solution.

Windows 10 will not shut down completely? Power light stays on(official july 29th upgrade)

I just upgraded to windows 10 from windows eight and I'm facing shutdown problems because when I asked the PC to shut down; the screen goes off but the power light stays on and basically windows 10 does not shut down completely whenever I have to turn on my PC again, I have to force the power button down until it completely Shuts down and start it back up again.
I tried several troubleshooting tactics wants & browsed YouTube videos and but nothing seems work and I've seen people on this forum complain about same thing and am hoping HP fixes the problem.

YES!!!!! A Solution that worked. Spread the news. It has to do with the Intel Virtualization Tehnology. Didn't know what that was until this issue came up in Windows 10. First, find out if this is your issue. 1. I installed the 'Intel Processor Identification Utility' directly from Intel.2. After installation, open the program and go to the 'CPU Technologies' tab.3. If it says 'YES' for Intel Virtualization Tehnology, proceed. Solution...(at least on my system) 1. The next thing you have to do is go into the BIOS. If you have not done this before, proceed at your own risk. You need to restart the computer and enter the BIOS (for me I hit F10 at the HP screen)2. Within the BIOS, there is an 'Advanced Options' section3. In this section there is a line for 'Intel Virtualization Tehnology' and it will say enabled or disabled. My computer said disabled.4. If this is the case, change the option to 'ENABLED'; then SAVE and EXIT from the BIOS. The Computer will restart and from that point on Shut Down, Sleep, etc. has worked. WOW this was a frustrating issue. Almost went back to Windos 8. I take no credit for this solution, I pieced it together from other posts on this issue. Hope this helps.

Any help is appreciated,

I've also got a similar problem. I upgraded yesterday & today I find (mainly with previously purchased tracks) that iTunes only playes about 51sec of a track. The whole track plays when using "Quicktime" but this doesn't help me when I'm trying to put together a playlist.
Can anyone out the help?

Windows on Mac Pro will not shut down

Hi I recently had the MAC Pro the one with 4G RAM, I installed Windows XP on it as well, seems everything is running Ok except that every time when I shut down Windows, it just hang there and I have to press the power button to force it to shut down. Does anyone have any idea why this happen? Anything I need to check? Do I need to reinstall it? Thanks!

Hi, sorry I should have been more specific. The version of the Windows installed is fairly new. If the windows just boot up and then I shut it down, it will shut down right away. But if I run some program like MSN or browse internet for a while then when I try to shut it down, after I click Start->Turn Off computer then I click any of the 3 options (Stand By, Turn off,Restart) it just do not respond, but at the sametime the windows is not frozen, I can still run other program which seems really odd. So I have to manually press the power button to shut it down. I might need to reinstall Windows.

HP Pavilion G7 Laptop with Windows 8 will not shut down

Yesterday I did a recovery of Windows 8 and my Laptop works great. However, after doing a Windows update my Laptop did a restart displaying the % complete. I left this run overnight. This morning with a black screen, the computer's Fan running a full speed I am unable to shut down the computer.
Holding down the Power button does nothing. I can't even take the battery out because the computer has locked it's access. My Wifi button is stuck on, I've unplugged my computer but it does have a full charge.
So, How Do I Shut It Down? I've never seen this before.

Hi @kscottr181 ,
Welcome to the HP Forums!
It is a dynamite place to find answers and information!
For you to have the best experience in the HP forum I would like to direct your attention to the HP Forums Guide Learn How to Post and More
I see you have a G7 notebook but what is your exact model?
How Do I Find My Model Number or Product Number?
I understand that after doing a Windows 8 update it restarted and remained at 0% complete. You left it overnight and in the morning you had a black screen and the fan was running but you are unable to power it off. You tried holding down the power button but are unable to remove the battery as it has locked access to the battery.
You have removed the AC power but it is still running on battery.
I have never heard of a notebook locking access to the battery before, however some models do not allow battery removal.
First I would try to do a hard reset. HP Notebook PCs - Use Hard Reset to Resolve Hardware and Software Issues
If you are still unable to power off the notebook, please disconnect from AC power and just let it drain the battery until it eventually turns off.
Here is a link to HP Notebook PCs - Computer does not start (Windows 8) in case you have a startup issue afterwards.
Good Luck!

Windows 8.1 only restarts; will not shut down!

Hi,
I recently built a custom PC and put Windows 8.1 on it. Every way of normally shutting down a computer I have found, causes the system to restart instead. The only way I have found to actually shut down is to hold down the power button on the computer. Please
help!

Hi,
I would also check with your Network Interface Card (NIC) adapter. NICs are typically the issue with power management.
Please try the following procedure.
1. Press the WINDOWSKEY+R combination and type devmgmt.msc, then hit
Enter.
2. In the Device Manager window navigate to Network adapters and double-click on your network adapter.
3. In the Properties dialog box opened switch to Power Management
tab.
4. On the Power Management tab set off the following two checkboxes:
Allow this device to wake the computer
Allow the computer to turn off this device to save power
5. Switch to the Advanced tab and locate the wake from shutdown option, if any. Set it to
disabled.
For example:
Image is courtesy of raymond.cc
Additionally, you may set the Wake on Magic Packet option to off to disallow WakeOnLan option where your computer may be started remotely by sending a WoL (Wake on Lan) signal, also known as magic packet.
When settings are made, click OK to confirm them.
Well this is the world we live in And these are the hands we're given...

Windows 10 will not shut down or sleep

Ever since installing Windows 10 my desktop PC will not go into sleep mode and will not even shut down - I have to press and hold the main power switch.I've searched for solutions, but the only ones I've seen so far relate to laptop power management options, which don't apply to desktops.I was running Windows 7 before I upgraded, and never had a problem putting the PC into sleep or shutting down before.I have run the power troubleshooter, but that hasn't helped.Can someone suggest a solution?

My Macbook Will Not Shut Down due to Itunes not closing.

I updated my iphone5 on itunes a couple weeks ago and made some changes in the settings and then I pressed apply and then it started backing up my iphone, after waiting quite sometime I clicked cancel backup. But it did not really cancel because I have had that message for a couple weeks now and I can not even close itunes or shut down my computer because the error message, " iTunes cannot quit because it is updating the software on the iPhone”. Can someone please help me as Itunes running and doing this all the time has been draining my battery and causing it to run slow?
Thanks

Hold the start button till the Mac does a hard shutdown. ( it may take 15 -30 seconds) Then restart while holding the shift key down to start in safe mode. This can take some time (1 min or so ) so don't let up on the shift key till you see a progress bar at the bottom of the screen. This way the Mac runs some file check routines that may fix your problem
