ITunes does not shut off

After having used iTunes the program only can be shut off via ctrl alt del. I have the latest update from XP and iTunes installed. Does anybody have a solution for this problem?

IPod does not shut off (? firewire problem ?)

My Ipod does not shut-off and I don't wan't any of the "have you trouble shooted" have you restarted your iPod"....yes and yes I have done all the troubleshooting and have restored my ipod. It says
"FireWire connections are not supported. To transfer songs, connect the USB cable provided.
Press Center to Dismiss"
It says that on my iPod not on iTunes andI am connected to USB and I'm not even completly sure what a firewire port is and yes I do press eject everytime im done using iTunes and take out my iPod....I'm Stumped

1. Try a different USB port on your computer.
2. If that doesn't work, try a different cable to connect your iPod,
3. If the above two steps do not work, check the connector on the bottom of your iPod and make sure there are no bent pins.

ITunes will not shut off. Since I upgraded the software, itunes opens no matter what program I am using and when I close it , it will just reopen over whatever I am using. this is very annoying!!!!

iTunes will not shut off. Since I upgraded my software, itunes opens no matter what program I am trying to use. If I close it it automatically opens moments later and interferes with what I am working on. This is so annoying

This is probably occuring because your Mac is attempting to wirelessly sync with a device. Try unchecking the checkbox that reads "Open iTunes when device is connected" (this option can be found under the general page of iTunes when you have a device connected).

My MBP 13 does not shut off

Hi everyone, my new MBP does refuse to shut off or restart. I have had it for less than two weeks. It gives me a message that some applicattion is running (different applicattion, depending on what i have been using). In force quit there is nothing, It looks it is not able to extit Finder. I need to shut pressing the power switch every time. I read a previous discussion but I have nothing running in backgroung, no time-machine, no peer-to-peer, no external device.
Any clue?
Anybody things I should try to give the machine back to apple?

I'm trying to help my Dad; he has a new MBP and it won't shut down properly for him either. We've used the myriad of keyboard shortcuts and they work for a while and then they don't work anymore.
I read a technique elsewhere on the web that could maybe work (No guarantees-don't hold me to this; it's just something I read by googling this topic). Turn the laptop off, unplug it and take out the battery and hold down the power button for 2 minutes - then connect the laptop with the power cable without the battery and do a few restarts - this may cure it I've read. But I can't be certain of this and holding down the power button seems suspect to me so....

Twenty inch Imac display does not shut off in Yosemity.

Hello James,
Display sleep and computer sleep can be adjusted in System Preferences -> Energy Saver. It may be that Display sleep is set for Never, which will keep the screen on as long as the computer is on.

I have an older nano (4th gen?) and it will not shut off and when you try to skip through songs it skips itself back. Buttons seem to be pushing themselves. I've tried doing a hard reset and it did not work.

My older nano is not working. I have to keep it plugged in all the time because it does not shut off. The buttons only work sometimes and then they scroll and skip forward and backward by themselves. I have checked updates and I have also reset it back to factory and it is not working.

Hello mistymorrill
If after all that you have tried and your iPod nano is still not working, the refer the page below for further options.

My iPad will not shut off when I close it?

My iPad does not shut off when I close it

It is not supposed to swtich off when you close the cover. It is supposed to go to sleep. Check Settings>General>Lock/Unlock>On. If the iPad is already set up that way, try resetting the device and see if that fixes it.
Reset the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up.
You can also try resetting all settings. You will not lose any data, but most of the device settings will have to be entered in the settings app again. Settings>General>Reset>Reset all Settings.

My wife ran the battery down in her shuffle. When I plug it in to the wall or computer, it will blink red solid for about 3 seconds and then shut off. Is the battery that dead, or is something else wrong. ITunes does not show the shuffle

I have a PC. I would like to sync my iPad2 via itunes. My computer recognizes my iPad but itunes does not. I have deleted the itunes program, shut down my computer and restarted and then reinstalled itunes. I still have the same problem. Suggestions?

I have a PC. I would like to sync my iPad2 via itunes. My computer recognizes my ipad but itunes does not. I have uninstalled itunes, shut down the computer and restarted plus reinstalled itunes. I visited the Apple store there is no problem with the iPad or the cord. I still have the same problem and am unable to sync when I plug in the iPad via the USB cord. Does anyone have further suggestions?

Try going into the control panel, add/remove programs. Uninstall iTUnes, Apple mobile device service, apple application support. Then redownload and reinstall iTunes and see if it'll work
If the computer sees your iPad you know the cable and connection is good, so the issue has to be software.

Can I shrink the iTunes webpage on my PC monitor so it does not cut off the right and left margins?

Can I shrink the iTunes webpage on my PC monitor slightly so it does not cut off the right and left margins?

Can you? Are you capable of resizing the window?
Only you can answer that question.
If you want to know if it is possible, yes, it is possible.

HT201401 My home button does not respond and the phone will not shut off

Has anyone had a similar problem where the phone will not shut off and the home button does not respond

You should try taking it to the Apple Store and asking for a replacement.
Or you could enable Assistive Touch from Settings>General>Accessibility.

Ipod touch wont load past apple screen. I have tried resetting by holding home button and on/off but after it resets it still only loads to the apple screen. When I plug the device in It stays on the apple screen and itunes does not recognize it?

Ipod touch wont load past apple screen. I have tried resetting by holding home button and on/off but after it resets it still only loads to the apple screen. When I plug the device in It stays on the apple screen and itunes does not recognize it? I fear it may be stuck in some sort of reset loop which is stopping itunes from recognizing it. How do I go about the process of sending it in to apple if I cannot find a fix? Thank you in advance, it is greatly appreciated!!

- See if placing the iPod in Recovery mode will allow a restore.
- If not successful and you can't turn the iPod fully off (that is required to place in recovery mode), then let the battery fully drain. After charging for at least an hour try the reset, restore again
- Then time for an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apples store.
