ITunes freezes when shutting down, playcount not saved

Okay, hey...
Everytime I shut down my iTunes, it freezes, and this Windows-standard-popup shows and ask me if I want to report the error or just shut down the program. (Sorry this message is different in English, I'm currently on a Danish computer).
So, anyway, after I click "Shut down the program", it closes, so yeah.. problem solved, I thought. But when I start up iTunes again, my play count is not updated. There's this new song, and I've listened to it a gazzilion times, and the play count is XX when I shut down iTunes, but when I start the program again, it's 0. Weird.
And the program still freezes when I shut it down!? EVERYTIME I close it. And the play count is NEVER saved...
Help...?
Windows XP

I read in another thread that you needed Quicktime working properly, in order to have iTunes working without any problems.
I just loaded my Quicktime, and it works perfectly. So no problem there.

IMac freezes when shutting down

My 3 month old iMac (24" Extreme) freezes (spinning wheel just keeps turning) when I try to Shut Down. Then I have no option but to manually shut down the machine using the power button at the back of the machine.
I have made sure that I quit all applications but the problem persists.
Any ideas?
Thanks.

Many thanks in advance for help.
I'm having a similar problem. I shut down my iMac at the end of the day (we have a lot of power outages here). The last few days, after I choose "Shut down," it won't -- the screen displays the screen saver (desktopia) but no dock or menu bar. Sometimes the cursor is a spinning wheel, but more often it's an arrow.
Just to be infuriating, the problem is intermittent.
Finally, I just did the latest update (QuickTime 7.5, AirPort Utility 5.3.2, and Digital Camera Raw Compatibility) which required a restart. It went to the screen saver minus dock routine (above), then to a plain light-blue screen.
It seems to work fine when I manually restart.
Here's the console stuff:

Imac freezing when shutting down

hi, i have this problem for quite a while now. it does not happen all the time but 9 times out of 10 this happens.
when i shut down my imac, the screen goes blue as it should then you get the circle with the black lines going round until it shuts down. thats where it stops, it freezes there and then i have to manually shut it down by pressing the button at the back.
is this a common problem ?
does it cause my imac harm by shutting down this way ?
how can i fix this ?
it didnt do this in the beginning only a few months later it started to
any help will be appreciated
thanks

Had had my 500GB HD replaced by apple in my imac24 today, after reinstalling everything and updating I indeed am experiencing the issue of the power button press to sleep COMPLETY locking and freezing the iMac.
I am for now clicking the iMac to sleep but plann to call tomorrow and ask why this has started happening.
Has anyone had a resolve yet??

Mac Pro running leopard freezes when shutting down

Hi,
I am having problems with the Mac Pro that was assigned to me at my workplace. Here are some of its specs
it runs Leopard (10.5.8)
processor 2 x 3 GHz Quad-Core Intel Xenon
memory 32 gb
Hard disks: here's the issue, It shows 3 hard disks on the finder (more details below)
The first issue is that it won't shut down. When I try to turn it off the screen goes blue and freezes. As I read on some forums that people were having issues with Leopard shutting down, I left it on that state for a whole weekend and when I came back it was still frozen.
The second issue is that aslmanager executes periodically and consumes 100% of one of the cores. Luckily most of the time I can use the other cores to do the work, but for heavy chores I do need that extra power. I tried killing it, and it works for some time, but it restarts after a while effectively slowing down my work (I hate having to babysit the computer for hours while it computes, killing the aslmanager periodically, a workaround would be to make a script that periodically kills it but I think this issue is just a symptom of a graver problem).
My guess is that the computer has 4 hard disks, with one of them broken (system information shows 4 hard disks, but the finder only shows three). This somehow affects the operative system, which tries to ineffectively communicate with it before shutting down. Some process may also be logging the problem, creating huge log files that aslmanager then tries to manage.
My questions are:
- How can I test my guess to know if it is correct? I must say that a blue screen and a stray process are not a transparent way to convey information to the user about a hardware problem.
- How can I fix this issue? In case my guess is correct, would disconnecting the hard disk solve the problem?
Thanks a lot.
PS: Even though I don't have to pay for the electricity bill at my workplace, I do try to use as little electricity possible since I believe we are overexploiting our planet. This makes my issue with the Mac Pro even more nagging since I can't help but think that leaving it turned on the whole time and using one of its cores continuously is using a lot of energy.

Take a look in Disk Utility.
Also, About This Mac to see what System Profile shows.
You could have two drives in a RAID configuration.
See if it has the Apple Mac Pro RAID controller (affects sleep)
* Disconnect any peripherals
* Clean OS instlal
* Disk Warrior
* Clone the OS (CCC or SuperDuper)
* Try running with Safe Boot
* Apple Hardware Test (your OEM DVD it shipped with, likely 10.4.x) and use D on startup to run
Now the bad news.
The directory and file system get worse and are corrupt and you need to repair and restore to get it back to working right, which is where Disk Warrior and SuperDuper come in.
Your business could get a more powerful Mac Pro or upgrade the processors even to 8-core 5355 or 5360s.
FBDIMMs use a lot of watts and create heat more than anything, too, and those need COOLING and a boost to the fans, so you want to run the fans and set 2-3 extra profiles for when you are running a heavier load. SMCFANCONTROL 2.2+
Apps that aren't multi-thread / multicore you have to wait and upgrade and up to the vendor to ship a more efficient version that uses all the cores (and threading) IF it is an app that can and will benefit. Not all will.
A couple backup sets of course is a must and most any business will have redundancy and a good recovery plan strategy in place.

A pages document was shut down and not saved where can I still find this document

Need help finding a pages document that was typed up and then the computer was shut down and We are not sure if it had been saved. Can we locate this document if it was never saved and how do we do that? Please Help!!!

If the battery is dead the only way to find it is to physically look for it.

Screen freezes when shutting down with sound running

I have Windows 2000 with GF4 and Audigy2 ZS. I installed the latest WinDVR and tuner drivers and watever from the web. The card works fine, like I can watch TV and stuff, but when I try to close the program, the screen freezes and the sound keeps on running at the background. I have installed the latest directx drivers, video drivers, sound drivers and windows update... Please help

If your PC has an Intel Pentium 4 with Hyperthreading turned on please read my post re. problems with this configuration.

Just bought a top range imac and it keeps freezing or shutting down. Not good as my PC was fine. Anyone eles ehaving this problem with OSX Lion?

Frustration at this point having spent a lot of cash and getting a machine that doesn't seem to havr th reliability I was led to believe. Is it OSX Lion?

No, it's not Lion. It may be something you installed. If you just bought it you could also take it back to the Apple Store and they may be able to help.

When an internet connection is available, I run iTunes and it shuts down on my Windows 7 64bit computer.

When an internet connection is available, I run iTunes and it shuts down on my Windows 7 64bit computer. It used to crash when I went to the iTunes store but, after installing the newest version of iTunes it crashes if there is an internet connection. I can turn off my internet access and then run the software but, once I try the iTunes store again it crashes. It does not give an error message as to why its doing this. Just says it encountered a problem. I cannot do anything with my iPad or iPod without this working. Its extremely frustrating.
I have also contacted Apple several times and they give me links to other's problems but, none have worked to fix this.

Close your iTunes,
Go to command Prompt -
(Win 7/Vista) - START/ALL PROGRAMS/ACCESSORIES, right mouse click "Command Prompt", choose "Run as Administrator".
(Win XP SP2 & above) - START/ALL PROGRAMS/ACCESSORIES/Command Prompt
In the "Command Prompt" screen, type in
netsh winsock reset
Hit "ENTER" key
Restart your computer.
If you do get a prompt after restart windows to remap LSP, just click NO.
Now launch your iTunes and see if it is working now.

When shutting down, FF does not save tabs or ask if I want to save them.

Several times recently, when shutting down, the small window asking if I want Firefox to save tabs does not appear, and the tabs are lost.

One of the changes in Firefox 4: '''''by default''''' Firefox 4 does not display the "Save Tabs and Exit" warning message when closing multiple tabs, but it can be turned back on by changing some preferences.
*<u>Saving tabs was not removed from Firefox 4</u>, but it works a bit differently.
**By default, Firefox 4 will not ask to save tabs, but instead it will always save your tabs on exit. You can restore them next time by choosing "Restore Previous Session" from the History menu, or pressing the restore button on Firefox's default home page.
**''<u>Note: This was a decision by the developers. On this forum, we are all '''uncompensated volunteers''' here to help other users. The developes/employees of Mozilla/Firefox rarely, if ever visit here.</u>''
To display the "Save Tabs and Exit" message when closing multiple tabs, you can do the following:
#Type '''''about:config''''' in the URL/Location/Address bar and press the Enter key
#Accept the warning message (promise to be careful)
#The preferences page/list will open
#Filter = '''''browser.tabs.warnOnClose'''''
#If its value is set to false, double-click on it (in the lower panel) to toggle its value to true
#Repeat steps 4 and 5 for these following 3 preferences also:
#*'''''browser.warnOnQuit'''''
#*'''''browser.warnOnRestart'''''
#*'''''browser.showQuitWarning'''''
#**Note: last pref is new in Firefox 4b12, may need to add (boolean)

Itunes is causing my Macbook Pro to freeze at shut down, any ideas?

For a while I was confused as to why my brand new Macbook Pro was failing to shut down. I continued to use it, and each time I would shut my computer off it would freeze with a loading dial in the lower-middle part of the screen. Eventually I started to run one program at a time. I ran Safari (among other programs), and the computer shut down fine. I ran Itunes, and the computer failed to shut down. I have also realized that Microsoft Office causes my computer to freeze at shut down as well. I have run disk utility to check my hard-drive. Everything came out fine, so I know it is not a hardware problem. Something with the software of Microsoft Office and Itunes are not functioning properly... Anybody have any ideas?
