ITunes closes automatically

I may have found a bug in the latest iTunes but here is my problem. I recently cleared my entire song list on itunes. Most of my songs were unable to be found and I didnt want to load all of them one at a time. So I attempted to clear the entire list. iTunes closes on me and will never stay open for no longer than 5 seconds. Anyone have any ideas?

I figured I would kill the iTunesHelper.exe service that was running and it fixed my problem. I can now import my songs now and already have updated my iPod.

  • Every time I close iTunes, it automatically re-opens itself

    I'm trying to install software updates on my computer, but I cannot because they require a restart- which cannot occur, because every time I quit out of iTunes, it automatically re-opens itself. Why is this happening and how do I get iTunes to stop doing this?

    Check Dashboard to see if you have any iTunes-related widgets running. If so, close them and see if that makes a difference. Similarly, look for any third-party apps that may be related to iTunes, such as apps that copy "now playing" information to a web site.
    Another possibility is external speakers, if you have them. Another user here found that a loose speaker connection may cause random launching and playing on iTunes. Try wiggling the speaker plug and see if that causes iTunes to launch. If so, unplugging and reconnecting the speakers may cure the problem. If not, you may have a defective speaker jack or an off-side plug on the speakers.
    Hope this helps.

  • Why when I close iTunes, it automatically opens again 20 seconds after..?

    When I close iTunes, it automatically opens again after.. why?

    TThe message is a bit deceptive the old libraries need to be upgraded before they can be used. To upgrade quit Aperture select one of the old libraries with the Finder and double click it. This will open Aperture on that library and ask if you want to upgrade it.
    WWhile the procedure is safe it is always a good idea to have a backup of the libraries before doing this.

  • How do I stop iTunes from automatically importing songs I listen to from my external hard drive into the music library?

    -= Changing the application used to open all files of a certain kind (written with reference to OSX 10.4 but may not have changed) =-
    1) In a Finder window highlight a file of the kind you want to change the application to open that kind of file.
    2) While that file is highlighted, select File > Get Info or press command (apple or propeller icon) + i to get a file information window.
    3) In the lower part of the info window there is an "open with" menu with a list of applications.
    4) If your application is already in the box then it is the default application for opening that kind of file and you don't need to do anything more.  Close the get info window.
    5) If the application showing in the menu is not the one with which you wish to open the file then select a new application. If your application does not appear there then select the "other..." and track down the application (usually in the Applications folder at the main level of the computer).
    6) If you wish to change all files of this type to open with this application in future, make sure the "change all" button is selected.
    7) Close the get info window.

  • My itunes opens automatically and i quit but it opens back up again

    I am on my computer and itunes opens automatically and starts playing music. I close it and quit it but it just opens right back i tried restarting my computer and everything. nothing seems to work

    This is a possible solution:
    Open up Activity Monitor and search for the process genredetection.
    Quit this, and iTunes should then behave properly and quietly quit when you want it to.
    If the process is not running check your ~/Library/iTunes/iTunes Plug-ins
    and disable any present to see if they are the cause.
    I create a folder iTunes Plug-ins Disabled to put them in.
    Thanks   ...   Ken

  • Mail closes automatically and re-marks messages as NOT Read

    After I open Mail and start to read messages, it closes automatically without warning and re-marks all messages I read as NOT read. I have tried resetting and even Restoring but still the same. How can I fix this problem?

    I have exactly the same problem on my iPod Touch (latest) which has developed in the last few days. Before that there were no problems since I bought it in September (with Mail or anything else). I can download mail without trouble on my computer, and all the other apps on the iPod work fine, including internet access. I have checked the software is up-to-date and also restored the settings via the iTunes summary page. I've also deleted almost all e-mails on the webmail page of my ISP. Still the same.
    Desperate,

  • Can not stop iTunes from automatically going to Store.

    When I open iTunes, it automatically tries to connect to the Store.  Waiting takes over a minute and cancelling also takes over minute.  I can not access the program until it stops.

    I find my itunes does this if I was looking at the itunes store when I closed it. If I click in my library first and then close it it opens fine without going to iTunes

  • Apps will close automaticly

    Hey,
    i think i found a kind of bug.
    After syncing my iPod touch 2G with my iTunes 8(which is connected with my Apple-ID) all the Apps from the appstore will not work correct.
    They show up when i open them and after 2 Secons they will close automaticly.
    The standart Apple-Apps work fine.
    My solution:
    Go to Appstore with the ipod and install any software, so that you must type in your Apple-Id and password. After this all will work again, until the next sync.
    This works fine, but it's really enoying for me to do that every time.
    Any other solution?

    That happens sometimes

  • Since recent updates, I have noticed that my apps close automatically when I am distracted. In some cases it is time consuming to sign back in and get back to the task I was doing. Is it possible to change a setting so the apps will stay open?

    Since recent updates of iOS, I have noticed when using my iPad that my apps close automatically when I have to leave the room or am otherwise distracted for a few minutes. It is sometimes time consuming to sign back in and get back to the task where i left off. Is there a setting I can change so it will keep the apps open until I am ready to close them? Thanks for your help.

    Did you have this problem before Restoring you iPad?
    If you did then did you restore with a backup. You may have reinstalled something that is conflicting in this back up
    If not then sounds like either something went array with the clean install or a hardware issue.
    I know it's long winded but have you tired a clean install then downloading the apps again?

  • I can't subscribe to Match on Win 7 with iTunes 10.6.3.25. When Apple ID auth window comes up iTunes crashes with "iTunes stopped working" and iTunes closes.

    On Windows 7 with iTunes 10.6.3.25 I cannot subscribe to iTunes Match. In iTunes I click on iTunes Match in the left pane then click the "Subscribe for $25 a year" button. A window that looks like I am going to be asked to login using my Apple ID and password starts to come up but then an error occurs and I get a window that says "iTunes stopped working" then iTunes closes. What can I do ?

    I've also read somewhere about using Win Rar to extract files to do with apple mobile device support from the itunes installer file, would you recommend that to? I don't really fancy the idea of doing anything that involves my registry because knowing me I'll end up screwing my laptop up for good lol
    It's a little more involved than just doing a standalone AppleMobileDeviceSupport64.msi install, I'm afraid. The relevant drivers in AMDS are not digitally signed for 64-bit XP, so you have to force XP to accept a driver install that it would try its damnedest to not do. There's no driver issues for other 64-bit componentry in the installer package (I think the GEAR drivers install on XP 64-bit systems), but I believe there's still a bit of fancy footwork involved in getting them installed too ... although it's been a long time since I've looked at an instruction set, and I might not be recalling those things correctly. (So if you're not comfortable with system modifications, it might be best to steer clear of the Orca-based techniques ...)

  • Disable iTunes from automatically opening when iPhone is connected

    Hi, I use a windows xp comp with itunes for windows at work and whenever I just want to charge my iphone, itunes always automatically opens. I've disabled automatic syncing in edit>pref but the iPhone summary screen doesn't allow disabling "automatically open itunes when this iphone is detected" like itunes for my macbook at home has. Any help would be greatly appreciated as it's such a pain to have itunes open and load everytime i'm just charging my iphone at work.

    Try this:
    Start -> Control Panel -> Administrative Tools -> Services
    Look for "Apple Mobile Device", right-click and "stop", then right-click "properties". Under "Startup type" choose "Disabled".
    Do the reverse if you want it to work again.
