ITunes cannot close by any method OS10.9.2 iTunes11.1.5

Hello there! Please Help me!
My iTunes app on mac can't close anyhow. after force quit, iTunes reopens automatically again.
so after reclosing iTunes again, it reopens again. ..so never close.
i googled about this problem, found a few solutions and tried them. but never solved... (*_*)
e.g.
*sync over wi-fi > turn off
*check for new software update automatically > check off
* Prevent iPods, iPhones, and iPads from syncing automatically > checked
IF ANYONE KNOWS HOW TO PREVENT TO REOPEN ITUNES AUTOMATICALLY,
PLEASE TEACH ME!!
**I have same problem as ↓
"Once opened, I cannot close iTunes without forcing a shutdown. "Quit iTunes", "Force Quit", etc. program immediately reopens and prevents a "Restart"."

BUT I can't find files named something like "com.apple.iTunes.xxx" anywhere.
Thank you.

I ran into the same issue yesterday and have tried to change the language from English to German. I have restarted iTunes as requested. The weird thing now is: The settings show German, but iTunes still is in English. I have then set the language to French and restarted iTunes and... It was French.... Then I put the settings back to German with the result that iTunes is Englich again. I have no solution and I am curious if this is a programming issue as it seems I am not the only one here from Germany.... Any ideas???

  • After updating to iOs 8 I cannot close out programs which is eating data

    After my son updated his 5s iphone to i0S 8, he cannot close out any programs open, which is eating up data when not connected to wifi. He rebooted and it still will not close them out. Has anyone else had this problem?

    Well he is doing the same he has done in the past. Double tap home and swipe them up. When he double taps home now, it does nothing.

  • Cannot close iTunes by any method, Force Quit or otherwise.

    Once opened, I cannot close iTunes without forcing a shutdown. "Quit iTunes", "Force Quit", etc. program immediately reopens and prevents a "Restart".

    Well, it's hard to know why it's choking in the first place. So, the first two things I would try are:
    Delete these files in the /Home/Library/Preferences/ folder:
    /Home/Library/Preferences/com.apple.iTunes.eq.plist
    /Home/Library/Preferences/com.apple.iTunes.plist
    /Home/Library/Preferences/com.apple.iTunesHelper.plist
    Delete this folder in the /Home/Library/Caches/ folder:
    com.apple.iTunes
    If your /Home/Library/ folder is not visible then do this:
    Open the Terminal application in your Utilities folder and paste the following at the command prompt:
         chflags nohidden ~/Library
    Press RETURN.
    Restart your computer then see if the iTunes problem is fixed.

    I downloaded the latest iTunes software update and it properly installed.  But,  I cannot close the update window showing it was completed and the blue completion bar is full but cannot cancel or close it either.  Any ideas on how to clear that out and close the window.  Tried to quit on both the big window and the software update title in the menu bar.  No luck.

    Tried that by shutting down via the power button only as the normal shutdown was nixed by the open window issue.  It did not help.  Found a very similar question in the discussions and it recommended "Force Quit".  That worked and the update works normal and the window is gone.  Thanks!

  • Itunes cannot add any songs to the iphone because no songs in the itunes purchased can be copied to this iphone

    What in the world is wrong when my purchased songs cannot be added to my iphone?  It seems random because many of them were transfered/synced but now some just won't sync.  But, then the error message: Itunes cannot add any songs to the iphone because no songs in the itunes purchased can be copied to this iphone.
    I have the latest version of itunes
    Macbook ios has Mavericks 10.9.5
    all other items (including other music) has been syncing correctly
    THEN when I try to use another method to get the music (screen shot #1) it gives me the error message below (screen shot #2):
    Why in the world would anyone want to remove all existing music just to sync the music?  How would I compare what is on my phone from what is on my macbook itunes to see what might be lost?  How do I get it to sync?

    That usually means your phone was previously sync to a different iTunes media library.
    by syncing to your Mac now, if want to wipe the data off the phone and sync it with the data currently in the iTunes media library.

    My Itunes account was hacked and 300$ stolen and I cannot get itunes to respond. Any advice?

    The money was stolen off of gift cards stored on my itunes account, and I did close the card on the account. I have changed my infortiona security wide but kept the rest of the changes they made to my account as proof. It has indeed been 48 hours since I conta cted them, and still no response. Also on this forum others have reported the same thing happening. Very sad I cannot even call Itunes about this. Thanks for your response.

  • ITunes is stuck open and I cannot close it

    I have a MacBook Pro that I just purchased and I am a first time Mac user.  It came downloaded with iTunes 10.5.  I then updated to the 10.5.1 but now I cannot get iTunes to close and if I force shut it down then try to open it again I get the iTunes screen but can't do anything, not even close it down.
    I have seen some information on uninstalling but that looks like PC info.  How do I unistall on a Mac?  And, if I do unistall it what next?  Thank you for any suggestions.

    you wont be able to uninstall iTunes by itself as it is part of the OS X package. Tried that before when i had problems with iTunes and preventing my macbook from shutting down everytime i use iTunes. In short, i had to reinstall the whole Lion package --although it did not resolve the issue up to now, thats the way it is! your best bet is to take it to apple genius bar and let them sort it out for you (as you said) you have just purchased the machine.

  • I cannot send an email from my iPad 2? No problem receiving, why does this happen? Have tried the suggestions for setting up email and after doing the sync mail through iTunes receiving worked great but still cannot send? Any help would be great

    I cannot send an email from my iPad 2? No problem receiving, why does this happen? Have tried the suggestions for setting up email and after doing the sync mail through iTunes receiving worked great but still cannot send? Any help would be great!

    The fact that you can receive means you have a valid e mail address, and have established the connection to the incoming server, so all of that works.  Since the send does not work, that means your outgoing server is rejecting whatever settings you used formthe outgoing set up.  Try them again. 
    Google your particular isp, and ipad and many times you will find the exact settings needed for your isp.  Or tell us here, and soneone else may be on the same isp.  Some mail services need you to change a port, or have a unique name for the outgoing server.  
    Kep trying.

    Howdy AndieKanaras,
    It sounds like your iPhone is being recognized everywhere but in iTunes. I would use the troubleshooting for that issue in the following article, named:

    Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.

  • When I plug my iPhone into my computer to sync my iTunes I get a message that says "iTunes cannot read the content of the iPhone" and wants me to restore my phone back to factory settings. Any suggestions so that I don't have to restore?

    When I plug my iPhone into my computer to sync my iTunes I get a message that says "iTunes cannot read the content of the iPhone" and wants me to restore my phone back to factory settings. Any suggestions so that I don't have to restore? I have all of my stuff backed up on iCloud but I really don't want to go through the hassle of wiping it clean and putting everything back on.

    This is a post from a user named edgar999 and it worked PERFECTLY:
    "OK - this is how it works:
    In order to backup from iCloud you cannot use iTunes!
    Therefore disconnect your device from your computer.
    Turn on your device and go to Settings and then go to General.
    At the bottom of this submenu there is a buttom "Reset"
    If you push that buttom you see 6 different Erase settings to chose from!
    Chose "Erase All Content and Settings" because this will wipe everything from your device and will let you restore from iCloud!  (I tried the top "Reset All Settings" but that did not let me use iClouds afterwards!)
    Once you pushed that buttom your device will be wiped clean and after some time you will see the Device Welcome Screen like on a new device!
    After choosing your location you will be asked to setup your WiFi-conection. After  you joint to your Wifi you will be given the choice to restore the iPad from a backup from the iCloud. Choosing this backup will prompt you with your apple ID and password.
    Restoring from a backup can take some time.  The process uses your Wi-Fi connection to download settings, content and data.  If you had a lot of content on your device, this can take a while.  The restore screen should give you estimates at each stage of the restore process, starting with restoring the settings and then booting into the iPad.  When the iPad home screen appears, the device will continue the restore process by downloading all of your applications.
    If you are restoring from a backup because you have run into problems with your device that can only be solved by restoring it, you can first choose your latest backup. If you still have problems, you can move on to the next latest backup, repeating the process until (hopefully) the problem is cleared."
    THANK YOU edgar999!!!!

  • ITunes cannot play any of my songs

    why is my iTunes not playing any of my songs in my song library and when i click any song, it tells me the song could not be used because the original file found not be found and will also asked me if i would like to locate?

    Have you moved any files or folders in your iTunes folder?  iTunes does not look at or store music.  When you add a track it notes where the file is located it should play when you select the track.  If you move the file or something happens to your computer so the location is no longer valid then iTunes cannot find the file to play.  Have to tried to find a file iTunes should play when you select a track (say "yes" when it asks)?

  • HT3209 Cannot play 1080p HD videos from iTunes. Anyone got any ideas?

    I have a AMD 6 core @ 2.8 GHz, 16 GB of RAM and a Geforce GT 640 with HDCP support, but still cannot play 1080p HD videos from iTunes. Anyone got any ideas?
    According to the hardware requirements, my system well exceeds them, but no joy!

    UPDATE:  I backed up my phone, wiped it (Settings -> General -> Reset -> Erase All Content and Settings), & then restored it through iTunes.  For whatever reason, that seems to have fixed the problem.  Movies now sync to my phone like they used to.
    That process seems to have corrected 1 or 2 other minor issues, including one where iTunes was 'syncing artwork' for a long time on every sync.

  • Cannot close screen and listen itunes

    cannot close screen and listen to itunes connected to a receiver

    That is because when you close the mac, it will go to sleep. I found a work around in this thread, but it involves buying an external monitor:
    "Yes it's possible but only if you attach an externalmonitor, keyboard and mouse so this might defeat the object. It's called'Clamshell Mode', once the externals are connected you close the lid and put itto sleep then touch the external keyboard to wake it again."

  • I have an issue with my ipad2.  There is a dialogue box open regarding connecting to hotmail and I cannot close it.   Any ideas on what I can do?

    I have an issue with my ipad2.  There is a dialogue box open stating "Cannot verify server identity - Hotmail can't verify  the identity of "m.hotmail.com" - Would you like to continue anyway?"  I cannot close it close this box no matter what I press.  As a result I cant get in to my ipad.  Any ideas on what I can do?  I have tried switching it off but this doesn't work either.

    You need to force quit whatever is happening to you.  Try a reset, reboot.  Hold the home and sleep button until the apple logo appears.  Ignore the red slider.
    What may be happening is that the set up for your hot mail account is wrong or has failed, and if you have push or fetch turned on, one of the first things the pad will do is to establish contact, and check your mail.  If it cannot get through because of the set up, it comes to a stop, wanting you to fix that problem.
    If you have a wifi only, try to start up the pad where there is no signal.  And if your have 3 g, turn it off.  You want the pad to thing there is no signal, so dont try to look for the mail.  
    What happens if you push home from that screen?  It should goto the home page.  Then go immediately to settings, mail, and either fix the setting, or delete the account and start over.  But turn off push or fetch until you get it sorted out.
