ITunes keeps restarting after I shut it down

Hi
I've had this problem on two different computers with two versions of Windows (XP and Vista). But it seems that since I've installed iTunes 10 (or even iTunes 9, when this problem started), almost immediately after quitting iTunes, it starts up again. I have to quit iTunes (and deal with it re-starting) at least 5 times before it finally quits for good. Obviously, it's frustrating enough that I'm braving the waters of the Apple Support Community.
Does anyone have any suggestions as to how I can stop this from happening? It's really annoying, and the only question I've seen like it relates to MacOS, so that's no help to me.
Thanks!

Follow these instructions to completely remove Apple software
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1923
Then use free Ccleaner to repeatly repair your registry until it's fixed.
http://www.piriform.com/ccleaner/download/standard
download iTunes again from Apple.
http://www.apple.com/itunes/
If you have 64bit Vista or Windows 7, look for the seperate download of iTunes for that further down the page.
Once installed, use the Apple Software Update under your Start Menu to fully update all Apple components.
Your content will remain on the drive in the Music > iTunes Folder, nothing is deleted.
You  should be making backups of your content regularly, either through  iTunes or via copying the iTunesFolder in your Music folder to a  external drive.
Windows  is notorious for having "other" issues that make it unstable, we as  volunteers helping others can't always resolve those issues.
After doing the steps above, stand by and others may be able to assist you.

  • ThinkCentre M73 Restarts When I Shut It Down

    Here's a strange one.  My ThinkCentre M73, Windows 8.1, just purchased last week, restarts after I shut windows down.  And it's not because I click the "Restart" button.  When I click Shut Down, it shuts down, and then in about 3 seconds it starts up again.  Any ideas?

    Thanks for the hint.  I could not find any wake checkbox on the network adapter configuration, but I have a "Wake" set up in Windows Home Server 2011 when it tries to back it up.  I will check that and let you know.  Thanks.

  • Why does my Power MAC G4 keep restarting itself after I shut it down?

    Hi,
    Thanks for reading this.
    Why does my Power MAC G4 keep restarting itself after I shut it down?
    This JUST started happening only 4 days ago.
    Most recent installation was Limewire, but I removed it to see if this problem would go away.
    I have 3 internal drives (See drive types below) that all have OS 10 on them in order to be able to boot up from either drive in the event of trouble.
    However...
    No matter WHICH drive I use as the start up drive... the computer STILL restarts itself after it is properly commanded to shut down.
    Prior to the Limewire install... the ADOBE creative suite was installed.
    There is a Lexmark X83 printer hooked to the computer, which, it seems doesn't matter if it is left on or off... the computer still restarts itself.
    Any ideas?
    Thanks!

    Hi, Tommy!
    If you still have problems, trash the following three preference files, then shut down and do a PMU reset. (PMU reset procedure for the QS is the same as is shown at the link for the Gigabit Ethernet.)
    HD/Library/Preferences/SystemConfiguration/com.apple.AutoWake.plist
    HD/Library/Preferences/SystemConfiguration/com.apple.PowerManagement.plist

  • Ipod touch 4th gen needed a new screen and sleep/wake switch.  So, I replace them.  I was able to get to settings and do "erase all content and settings".  I am not able to totally shut this device off as it keeps restarting after a few seconds.

    Ipod touch 4th gen needed a new screen and sleep/wake switch.  So, I replace them.  I was able to get to settings and do "erase all content and settings".  I am not able to totally shut this device off as it keeps restarting after a few seconds.  I have used itunes to restore and also recover.  Device will actually shut off and stay shut off if I leave it connected to the computer.  The moment I unplug (3 seconds) the apple logo appears, it boots, unlock screen appears, I can unlock and operate normally, unplugged or not.  Just cant get it to completely shut down unplugged.  Any thoughts?

    Try:
    - iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
    - Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
    How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
    - If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
    - Try on another computer                            
      - If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem. Maybe you installed a bad component or damaged something during the repair/replacement.
    Apple will not help since you worked on the iPod yourself.

  • Iphone keep restarting after 60 seconds

    I need help for iphone keep restarting after 60 seconds, when I update ios 5.0.1 (9A405), how to overcome these problems

    Did you already try to reset the phone by holding the sleep and home button for about 10sec, until the Apple logo comes back again. You will not lose any data by resetting, but it can cure some glitches.
    If this does not help, setting it back to factory settings would be the next step:
    Use iTunes to restore your iOS device to factory settings - Apple Support

    We do need the actual DMP file as it contains the only record of the sequence of events leading up
    to the crash, what drivers were loaded, and what was responsible.
    You may be able to get the DMP files without crashing by booting into safe mode (F8) with networking.
    If you are overclocking stop.  (chances are if you dont know if you are, you are not)a
    To enable us to assist you with your computer's BSOD symptoms, upload the contents of your "\Windows\Minidump" folder.

  • FIM Sync service keeps restarting after being disabled

    Hi - We are deploying the SharePoint User Profile Store connector and I have followed all the steps here:
    http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dn511003(v=ws.10).aspx
    However the FIM Sync service keeps enabling and restarting itself - can't see anything in the event logs except a Evt ID: 2001 - Service was started successfully
    What is starting this service? How can I stop so that it remains in the disabled state?
    Thanks
    J

    Hi,
    Based on your description, my understanding is that you want to disable the FIM Sync service, but FIM Sync service keeps restarting after being disabled.
    I suggest you start the FIM Sync service again and stop it, then disable it.
    You shouldn't need to start those services manually - SharePoint will do everything itself when you start the User Profile Sync service in Central Administration.
    Restarted the User Profile Synchronization Service in Central Administration.(Central Administration -> System Settings -> Manage services on server -> User Profile Synchronization Service.)
    Stop the FIM Sync service and then disable it.
    Here are two links, you can use as a reference:

  • Finder froze, restarted. Now keeps restarting after boot.

    Hi!
    The title pretty says it all.
    Finder froze completly, and I forced a restart. After the restart it keeps restarting AFTER boot. By that I mean after getting into the desktop.
    Any ideas?
    Tried a few things my self, but it just keeps restarting..
    Got a Mac mini, can the macbook somehow boot from that? I just need the data from the harddrive!

    I could not find anything the direction I was going. OK, you can start from your DVD. What happens if you just click install? If you are able to install, then your would be installing Sno over Sno, as if doing an upgrade install, in an attempt to fix your Sno installation. In principle, your files, users, apps, and settings would not be affected. But,before trying this sort of install, you will need to resolve the issue of what sort of backup you have. Most importantly you may have important unbacked up files. If so, then you might be better off going to a data recovery specialist before trying to reinstall Sno over Sno.

    I hope you have a backup if you don't want to lose your iPad contents. You have to restore the iPad now using iTunes on your computer. That's what the message on the screen means.
