ITunes application reopens after I quit

I don't know if anybody else has had this problem but when I close my iTunes application, suddenly a few minutes later or so it reopens out of no where. It's becoming a real annoyance as of late.
I am running the latest iTunes along with the latest Mac OS X version. iTunes is set as the default Internet application for music. I hope this can be fixed somehow.
Thanks

Interesting, I'll give that a try. Come to think of it my widget takes a good long time before i get to switch a song or something because of my big library.

Why does iTunes 11 keep reopening after I quit?

This is moving from the bizarre to the absurd. I recently updated to iTunes 11 on my MacBook Pro (OSX 10.7.5), and now iTunes keeps reopening after I quit. I have checked the support forum for similar issues from previous versions. I do not have "open iTunes when device is connected" checked, I have quit using the menu, force closed the application, even killed the iTunes process through the activity monitor to no avail. The only way I can successfully kill the process is to shut down my MacBook Pro entirely and restart.
Has anyone else encountered this?

I want to elaborate on my orginal post. This is a big pain in the ***, but I have found a solution that has worked and has survied though a number of tests. Do you have Blackberry Desktop installed on your Mac? If you do, your probably going to have a process running called RimAlbumArtDaemon. This is some BS software by RIM that has a history of running Mac really hot (using unnessary process power for extended amounts of time). Get rid of it by following the instructions here:
https://discussions.apple.com/thread/3589839?start=0&tstart=0
Delete that entire blackberry file.
This has seemes to solve the problem for me. Let me know if this works for you.

Lost ability to access iTunes via Airport after Force Quit - Network issue?

I am not sure if this is iTunes or networking related, but all other networking appears ok.
First my setup: multiple machines use iTunes library from an external HD connected to Airport Extreme, OS 10.4.11, iTunes 7.6.2.
I had been updating ratings in the iTunes library on the external drive connected to the AE and I was connected to the AE via Ethernet with Airport Card on PB turned off. I went to move the PB to another location so I turned Airport Card on and disconnected the Ethernet cable with the iTunes app and database open (dumb move apparently). The iTunes app appeared to lock up along with the PB, I was able to force quit thru it, and now I have an unresolved issue that has me stumped.
After numerous restarts of the PB, I can access the iTunes library on this AE server via the ethernet connection (as it was before attempting to move), and all of the ratings I had changed appear to have been saved. But I can not get iTunes to access the library via wireless (Airport Card).
I have restarted the AE and the connected drive both. I have restarted the PB numerous times. If I login on PB with ethernet connected there is no issue, if I login with airport active only there is an issue. All attempts to start iTunes and accessing the library wirelessly result in no success, sometimes can quit normally, sometimes must force quit. I can option start iTunes to access/create library on internal drive and also can create a new library on the external AE server. Also all other wireless networking activity regarding that server has no issue (access , copy, move files etc...)
I've tried removing iTunes pref files in user library and that didn't fix anything. The application itself works fine with the database when connected via ethernet or with internal library.
Anyone have any clues or suggestions on where I should turn to try and fix this? I can try to provide more details if needed, but I am stumped short of potentially aggravating the issue with re installs and other potential attempts that may not even be related to the issue.
Thanks

No disk maintenance recently. I have a week old backup of the entire iTunes folder along with the Library. I tried moving that backup Library (file only) into the AE server location but that did not change anything in terms of access.
I am on lunch break so no time to try your suggestions immediately, but will later this evening. I had thought about trying with a new user but hadn't gone there yet. I also have a G4 iMac ethernet connected all the time to the AE, but it has a AE card also typically not in use. I tried accessing with the iMac machine wirelessly, and although it progressed further (got the iTunes menu bar to display - never even got that on the PB), iTunes was not able to load which makes it almost seem not machine specific but rather something with the AE settings or the usb connected drive, but again all is fine there via ethernet.
Last night after original post, on the PB, I thought about a corrupted keychain type thing perhaps not allowing file access wirelessly, and I did have something to repair there, but it did not solve the issue.
Again, thanks for the suggestions and I'll try later tonight. Let me know if my additional info sheds any further light or if it would indicate that the suggestions were on the wrong track.

permissions issue with iTunes Library file

Pages cannot be reopened after force quitting

I have recently installed Pages, and fairly often if hangs so that I need to try to force quit. After I force quit, I cannot restart the application so need to actually reboot the computer before I can open Pages again. Any suggestions?

Try
(1) to use the app from an other user account
(2) quit Pages,
drag the file:
Macintosh HD:Users:<yourAccount>:Library:Preferences:com.apple.iWork.Pages.plist
to the desktop.
restart Pages.
My guess is that you are not patient enough. Often, Pages seems to be frozen when it is in fact heavily busy.
It would be useful to run: "Monitor Activity" to check what is behaving.
Today and Yesterdays I worked with more than 800 pages documents. Half an hour was a current requirement for some tasks.

ITunes wont open after upgrade to iTunes 9

I upgraded to iTunes 9 unaware that apparently it doesn't work with 10.4.11 and now itunes won't even open, instead I get an "requires Quicktime 7.5.5 or later" message and when I click the OK button iTunes still doesn't open. I can't upgrade to QT 7.5.5, as far as I know it is for intel Macs only and apparently so is iTunes 9. I can uninstall iTunes 9 and reinstall itunes 8.2, but since I can't open iTunes and backup the music to a disc, I'm not sure if or how I would replace the music in the reinstalled iTunes, will the music folder be effected and if it is, can I simply copy the music folder to the desktop and then drag and drop it into the iTunes application folder after the reinstall? If not, what would be the best procedure?

Don't touch your iTunes Music folder. All your iTunes data is stored there completely separate from your iTunes application. You can delete or reinstall your iTunes Application without affecting your data. However, you should be able to use iTunes 9.
iTunes 9 requires OS X 10.4.11 or later and a Mac computer with an Intel, PowerPC G5 or G4 processor.
It also needs QuickTime 7.6 or later. You can download it here: http://www.apple.com/quicktime/download/
Note that there are separate versions for Leopard and Tiger. Pick the right one.

ITunes application quits unexpectedly in OS 10.2.8

Computer wizard and sage: It's getting monotonous. Every time I try to play 6.0.5 iTunes on my OS 10.2.8 system (with a G4), iTunes shuts itself off after a few seconds and a message pops up -- "the iTunes application has quit unexpectedly."
Any ideas on how to fix this besides simply boosting buying more RAM or freeing up hard disc space (have deleted a bunch of stuff to make 1 GB available now) and upgrading the operating system?
Other data: I was also getting the same application quit message for Abode Reaer when trying to open PDFs. Attempted a "permissions" repair run in disk utility -- not sure I did it right.
I sure will appreciate your ideas and prescriptions. Thanks for the help.

Problem fixed. No, it was not a space issue. Yes, freeing up space is important.
But here was the glitch. It was a "ad.doubclick.net" file that was stuck in my podcast folder. I finally realized this when I saw this title appear briefly on the song title bar on the top of iTunes before iTunes aburptly went bye-bye. iTunes apparently was defaulting to this file when I did not click any specific tune to play.
I deleted that file and presto! iTunes back in business.
Thanks, folks, for your attention to this matter. Your suggestions while not hitting this specific hangnail on the head are good ones and duly noted by me.

Itunes stops working after say half hour of use and will not play next song, the only way to get it working again is to close and reopen, then it works fine till next time, but the problem keeps returning

Preview is STILL frozen even after force quitting, rebooting and reopening. Help?!? I need to see my files!

Not sure what I did, but Preview continues to stay frozen even after force quitting, rebooting and reopening. It seems like it is trying to open all 720 pdf documents I have on my internal memory. That's my best guess... I really don't know what happened. I've tried clicking the 'close windows when closing application' option under general settings and every other thing I've seen listed on help sites... nothing is working. PLEASE HELP?!?

Back up all data. Quit Preview if it's running.
Hold down the option key and select Go ▹ Library from the Finder menu bar. From the Library folder, delete the following items, if they exist:
Containers/com.apple.Preview
Preferences/com.apple.Preview.LSSharedFileList.plist
Preferences/com.apple.Preview.SandboxedPersistentURLs.LSSharedFileList.plist
Saved Application State/com.apple.Preview.savedState
Log out and log back in. Launch the application and test.

My iTunes 10.5 restarts immediately after I quit the program. How can I fix this?

It is very frustrating. I quit iTunes and it starts back up seconds later. It seems after I quit it 10 or more times, it will finally stop restarting. To my knowledge, this has only been occuring over the past few weeks and I'm pretty certain is was about the time I last updated iTunes. Maybe it's a coincidence and something else is to blame?
After searching this community, I found someone who had a problem like this on his Mac back in 2009 that turned out to be a third party widget he was running. I do not use any third party music related stuff on my PC (not a Mac). The only other music-related software I have is Spotify and Windows Media Player and they do not appear to interact with iTunes. I do not have any iDevice's (like an iPod or iPad) continuously hooked up that might be causing it to restart like this. I'm not wirelessly syncing my iDevices either.
I'm at a loss for what to do. I now have to decide if I really need to use iTunes at a particular moment, because I know I'll have to close the program up to ten times to get it to stay closed. Is this a known bug? Any solutions? I would rather not leave iTunes running in my system tray all day long and tie up resources.

Some applications relaunch themselves automatically after I quit them

Certain applications will relaunch automatically after a few seconds after i quit them (CMD-Q or Application menu, Quit).
This happens on a new Macbook Pro retina 13 inch restored from a Time Machine backup of my Macbook Air 11 inch. The behaviour is not present in the Macbook Air.

It seems that you are Turkish as me But I will give my answer in English so that it can be helpful for others facing same problem.
I've faced same problem after latest firmware upgrade. It seems that latest upgrade has compatibility issues with Java applications, since I don't know whether you realized or not, the applications that are not working are java applications. I didn't try yet but a hard format may be a solution for this problem. Also we have to inform Nokia Support Department about that issue and they must make some improvements about that problem.
Good luck

HT1926 iTunes reopens after I exit the program

On my laptop running Windows 7 after I quit iTunes it keeps re-opening itself. Any ideas?

This is very annoying. I have removed ALL widgets, ALL startup items, ALL scripts in iTunes, ALL plug ins (only one in root library found), reinstalled iTunes, restored and reset iPhone 3Gs, repaired permissions, and run Disk Warrior, and disabled all references to iPhones or iTunes helper apps in my Activity Monitor, disabled auto synch and autolaunch of iPhone, and STILL have immediate restart of iTunes every time I close it down AFTER docking and synching with iPHone, and only since updates of latest iTunes and iPhone software. Anyone else have this problem? It can't be good to have to hard power down to get out of iTunes endless loops!

After force quitting iTunes, now my phone is "in use" by another user

OK, here's what just happened to me tonight. I had the "beach ball of death" in iTunes, so I used a force quit. Now when I plug in my week old iPhone 4, I'm getting the message that this phone is already in use by another user on this computer. Huh?!? For one thing, I am the ONLY user although I do have a "guest" account, but I'm logged in on my regular account.
I've tried restarting iTunes, same message. Every time I plug in the phone it's doing it now. So, how am I supposed to sync my phone now?
Has anyone else had this problem after force quitting iTunes? Any ideas?

Nope, tried that, didn't work. 3 complete reboots didn't worked either. However, on the 4th complete computer reboot, it worked!! I don't know why, but I'm happy that I can sync again.
I guess it just reinforces the old, "if at first you don't succeed...."

My itunes continues to play very faintly after I quit the program, what could cause this?

My itunes continues to play very faintly after I quit the program. I actually though I was going crazy but it does continue to play after the program has been shut down. Very, very low volume though. I can't pause it or turn it up or down. I do us imatch. Please Help!!!!

Do you have backups of all the data on the startup drive? If not, do nothing else until you've backed up that data, if you still can.
