ITunes Process must be killed to quit

Hi,
I have a strange Problem. iTunes operates normaly on my laptop, syncing with Nano is working. Only when I need to quit iTunes it simply does nothing. The process has to be killed with the taskmanager.
Any ideas?
Thanks,
Thomas

The bonjour service sometimes causes this problem.
The following article provides information about bonjour and how to turn off the service:

If turning off the bonjour service works and you don't need it, you can uninstall it from add/remove programs.
I have uninstalled it with no problems.

  • Apple TV will stream music but will not connect to iTunes library to stream movies or podcasts.  During the unsuccessful connection process, iTunes becomes unresponsive and must be forced to quit.

    Apple TV 3 will stream music via Home Sharing from iTunes on Mac running 10.6.8 but will not connect to iTunes library to stream movies or podcasts.  When trying to connect, iTunes becomes unresponsive and must be forced to quit.  ATV will stream movies purchased through the ATV but not those purchased through or ripped/copied onto the Mac.  I've tried fixes suggested for similar problems (rebooting ATV and Mac, signing out then back into iTunes Store) to no success.  Any suggestions will be appreciated.

    This is the most bogus example of Apple rip-off EVER.  They do not advertise this *feature* and yet expect people to invest in an Apple ECOSYSTEM?  My experience with Apple TV using a central media "server" (a dedicated Mac Mini) has been atrocious.  I continually get "Cannot connect..." messages and with typical Apple "it just works" mentality, there is no reason stated.  I HATE APPLE TV and I HATE APPLE.  Peddle your crapple somewhere else.

  • Why does iTunes 11 keep reopening after I quit?

    This is moving from the bizarre to the absurd.  I recently updated to iTunes 11 on my MacBook Pro (OSX 10.7.5), and now iTunes keeps reopening after I quit.  I have checked the support forum for similar issues from previous versions.  I do not have "open iTunes when device is connected" checked, I have quit using the menu, force closed the application, even killed the iTunes process through the activity monitor to no avail.  The only way I can successfully kill the process is to shut down my MacBook Pro entirely and restart.
    Has anyone else encountered this?

    I want to elaborate on my orginal post.  This is a big pain in the ***, but I have found a solution that has worked and has survied though a number of tests.  Do you have Blackberry Desktop installed on your Mac?  If you do, your probably going to have a process running called RimAlbumArtDaemon.  This is some BS software by RIM that has a history of running Mac really hot (using unnessary process power for extended amounts of time).  Get rid of it by following the instructions here:
    https://discussions.apple.com/thread/3589839?start=0&tstart=0
    Delete that entire blackberry file.
    This has seemes to solve the problem for me.  Let me know if this works for you.

  • ITunes 8.1.1 will not quit.

    Every time I try to quit iTunes, it immediately restarts. I am not able to restart my computer without removing the battery because iTunes fails to quit. This is obviously not ideal. I have tried force quit and reinstalling, but of course you must be able to quit iTunes to reinstall...

    Hi Elizabeth,
    Do you have a iPod or iPhone connected to the Mac through a USB hub?
    Are there any 3rd-party plug-ins or add-ons installed?
    This article: from http://support.apple.com/kb/TA22611 provides more information about 3rd-party plug-ins.
    Mac:
    +/Users/username/Library/iTunes/iTunes Plug-ins+

    If the issue is not caused by a 3rd-party plug-ins, try removing and reinstalling iTunes as shown here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1224

  • CPU at 100% on stuck process, can't kill?

    I was running Personal Backup from Intego without issues on Lion, but have had no luck with Mountain Lion. The backup freezes, one of the 8-virtual CPU cores sticks at 100% and I cannot kill the process, not from the Force Quit menu, not from the Activity Monitor and not from the Terminal using sudo kill -9 pid.
    Is there any other way to kill this process without re-booting? I can't even shut down the machine without doing a hard reset.

    No idea, but have you tried restoring the phone, and setting it up as new to see if it happens there?
    If not then restore from your backup. If the issue comes back then the issue lies wiht the backup file you are using.

    Not going to happen the way you want it to.
    When you add a gift card balance to the Apple ID, it's available for the Apple ID.
    Probably best to create unique Apple ID's for each... this will also make things easier in the future as purchases are eternally tied to the Apple ID they were purchased with.

  • ITunes Process is Unkillable in Task Manager

    If I launch iTunes right after opening Windows 8 it will run. If I close it during a Windows session it will not restart. When I look at Task Manager when iTunes is running, it shows iTunes as a running application. When I close iTunes, it disappears from the Apps area and reappears as a Background Process. Because it is not a Background Process, it won't reopen because Windows sees it as already running. End Task has no effect on it whatsoever. These are also known as Zombie processes. With iTunes process continuing to run, this has caused other associated problems such as often having to do a hard shutdown by pressing the power button, or if the machine went to sleep with iTunes running, Windows won't wake up without my first having to again do a hard shutdown. Posts on the net have explained that I/O threads are not being properly terminated in the kernel during the shutdown sequence. Taskkill /f from the command prompt also has no effect. As there are others who have reported this issue with iTunes and other software in Vista, Win7 and Win8, however, this user pool is not huge, I expect it has to do with a conflict with another driver or service. I have tried disabling Bonjour and any other Apple accessory I could find to no avail. I tried using Windows Driver Verifier, but on setting it up, it promptly crashed my machine on reboot. While I don't expect a straightforward fix, I would appreciate any leads any tech savvy users might have on how to track down the issue.

  • Process must contain a start activity with no 'in' transitions.

    382: Design Validation generated 1 warning(s). You may save invalid definitions but they should not be used in running process.
    352: Process must contain a start activity with no 'in' transitions.
    What it mean ???

    Does the activity that you have marked as a 'Start' node have any in transitions?
    Does the little green arrow appear on the icon to show that the property has been set correctly?

  • After installing Mavericks my MacBook Pro and my MacMini can't shut down, only a grey screen and finish. Must be killed by the power button. Why?

    After installing Mavericks my MacBook Pro and my MacMini can't shut down, only a grey screen and finish. Must be killed by the power button. Why?
    Nach der Installation von Mavericks kann ich weder das MacBook Pro (2 x 2.4 GHz) noch den MacMini (2 x 2.66 GHz) herunterfahren. Es bleibt ein dauerhafter grauer Bildschirm. Nach 20 min habe ich einen erzwungenen Neustart durchgeführt.
    Ausserdem startet die Macs wesentlich langsamer als mit OS X 10.6.8.

    same here...  sometimes it works, most of the time it doesn't!!

  • Itunes 7.0.2 kills minis?

    Correct me if I'm wrong, but it appears, based on homework I've done online, that the latest incarnation of itunes is a mini killer, as well as causing problems with other iPods. Based on this information, I have opted to not update my itunes.
    So here's my question: I am planning on picking up a pair of shuffles this week for mountain biking. Will they run on older versions of itunes, or do I have to upgrade my itunes, thereby running a real risk of killing the three other ipods in my house?

    I have had nothing but problems with my Mini since upgrading to 7. It takes a while for Itunes to notice my Mini once connected and often I have to restart Itunes for it to recognize the Ipod. The biggest problem though is now it's not transfering songs. I've restarted the Mini and restored it and it's still getting transfer errors. Error -50.
