ITunes opens and stays in background?

Help?
When I click on the iTunes icon in the Dock the program opens successfully. However it's in the background, i.e., I have to command-tab or minimize other applications in order to see iTunes. iTunes does not open in the foreground and become the active application like all the other apps do.
Any ideas?

I have an éxpose pref but I have never used éxpose so when I click on the pref it just shows nothing cause I have never assigned anything to it cause I don't use it so how do I do what is recommended here to make iTunes stop opening in the background? Thank you.

If you double click on the home button, that opens the recents tray and you can see all of the apps you have recently used. Click on one of those app icons when you have that tray open and the app should start up.
If you just click the home button again when the recents tray is open, it will take you back to the home screen and you will be back where you started.

Check to see if there are Updates available... If already up to date...
Try This...
Close All Open Apps... Sign Out of your Account... Perform a Reset... Try again...
Reset ( No Data will be Lost )
Press and Hold the Sleep/Wake Button and the Home Button at the Same Time...
Wait for the Apple logo to Appear...
Usually takes about 15 - 20 Seconds... ( But can take Longer...)
Release the Buttons...

Downloaded MP3 files not visible in playlist. I can find them by going through my desktop Start button and typing in the name of the file and clicking on it, then iTunes opens and plays it but I still can't see it in the playlist.

I have downloaded several files from a radio stations archives. They download as MPEG Audio Layer 3 files. When I go to the playlist that they are supposedly in I can not see them. But if I click Start on my desktop and type in the file names then iTunes opens and takes me to the playlist (where you see no list) and begins playing. Any idea how I can get the list to show?

After installing an Adobe Flash update, Firefox opens and stays black screen

Firefox was working perfectly yesterday. When I booted up this morning, Adobe Flash Player asked to run an update. I did this. Firefox now opens and stays black. I have tried a reset from safe mode and a full reinstall. Neither worked

Hi There!
I would suggest you remove windows from your PC and install Ubuntu. This will resolve most of the issues you are facing or it might be great to find a very large hammer, lift it high above your head and SLAM it down on your PC will surly make you feel better and if you video record it and upload to Youtube others will love it too!

Hi Drgeert-
The hub may not be broken per se, but Apple has made adjustments to the limits on current that can be drawn from ports.
You probably need a new hub.

Why won't iTunes open and what does this error message mean?

I can't open up my iTunes. I've tried reinstalling it but it still doesn't work. I get an error message that reads: The procedure entry point kCMByteStreamNotification_AvailableLengthChanged could not be located in the dynamic link library CoreMedia.dll. I press ok and then another message pops up reading: iTunes was not installed correctly. Please reinstall iTunes. Error 7 (Windows error 127). I don't get an error message when I hook up my iPod but it doesn't bring up iTunes either and restarting my computer doesn't seem to help. I don't want to completely remove iTunes from my computer because I'm afraid I'll lose most of my music since most of it were on CDs which I no longer have. Help?

I am having this same problem. I took Kappy advice on restarting the Apple Mobile Device Service, however that did not work. I got this message in a pop up window that came up immediately.
Windows could not start the Apple Mobil Device Service on local computer.
Error 1053 The service did not respond to the start or control request in a timely fashion.
I have already uninstalled itunes, all the related programs and I cannot reinstall, this Apple Mobil Device message stops the install.
Can anyone please help?

My itunes opens and freezes. I tried repeatedly to uninstall it so I could re-install it but it just gives me error messages. Please help!

My Itunes opens then just freezes. I have tried repeatedly and numerous ways to uninstall it so I could re-install it, but I just get error messages. If you have had this problem and resolved it please help!

For general advice see Troubleshooting issues with iTunes for Windows updates.
The steps in the second box are a guide to removing everything related to iTunes and then rebuilding it which is often a good starting point unless the symptoms indicate a more specific approach. Review the other boxes and the list of support documents further down the page in case one of them applies.
Your library should be unaffected by these steps but there is backup and recovery advice elsewhere in the user tip.
It would help us help you if you provided the exact text of any error messages.

Anyone noticed that "IF" ITunes opens and crashes...

"IF" you can get ITunes to open and it crashes, look at the lower right of your task bar. The ITunes icon is still there. Now move your mouse "over" the icon... it will disappear. It will not disappear if you do not put your mouse over it??
If you continue to open ITunes it will build another Icon for everytime you got it to open. Put your mouse over them... poof... gone.
Apple, you may want to take a look at the memory leaks or pockets inside ITunes... when your applicaton crashes, good software development practices would force anything ITunes related to unload.

More info: Downgrading to 10.6.6 made iTunes work again.
When 10.6.8 was released (last week) I upgraded to it but it has the same problem. iTunes does not go to the next track when it reaches the specified stop time - only on music videos (audios work fine).
Tried downgrading to 10.6.6 and the problem still remains. Now I am stuck with it and don't know what to do!

Itunes opens and sits on gathering info about library

Have had several Ipods over the years but were kids. Now wife has nano and when opening I tunes get the line above about gathering info about library and never moves from there to allow me to do anything with new one.

Hi folks,
I found a solution in case your MATCH is still buggy...
JUST BOOT YOUR MAC HOLDING THE SHIFT KEY (until you see a progress bar).
Then in itunes disable and re-enable iTunes Match.
It should rescan all your library and eventually works.
At the end just reboot your Mac normally.
Best regards from Paris.

When I connect my iPhone 5, iTunes opens and the sync begins. It goes all the way through the process then stays on "Finishing Sync" and never continues. It doesn't do this with my iPad 2 on the same computer. How can I get the iPhone to finish syncing?

I am using a Dell XPS 8200 running Windows 7 Professional.

not sure if this is a permanent fix but, ever since upgrading to itunes 11.3.1, my iphone5 seems to finish syncing on its own, now. didn't seem to be a problem anymore. at least after doing only one sync, since the upgrade.
(stiil have a blank "purchased" page at itunes store, though).
