ITunes refuses to run in the background???

Hello,
I am running Windows 7 and iTunes 10... The problem I am having is that no matter what else I am doing on my computer either iTunes or Windows switches back to iTunes when I have the program running. It doesn't matter if I am typing or just trying to read a website, and it is quite annoying... Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks

i have the same problem... i have yet to find a way to duplicate the problem at will, but it manifests itself on a fairly frequent basis.
a have been running laps at around 5-6 hours or so. the problem could occur on the 1st lap or on the 6th lap. all of the a sudden the display goes to all 0s, and if you hit lap or stop, the last lap will be over 66000 hours... which, the last time i checked was like over 7.5 years....
while i may have been an early adopter, i have not had my iphone that long....
a stopwatch should be one of the simplest applications to get right. i find it pretty lame that this bug appears.

New iTunes update wont run in the background

When the last update for iTunes came out I was pretty excited to see the new layout. When I was done installing I was really impressed with the new setup. I do however have this one problem. I used to run iTunes in the background when I was playing games or watching subtitled movies where the sound doesnt matter. Now whenever I do this playback from iTunes gets choppy, like when the needle arm on a record player gets constantly bumped. I was just wondering if there was a new update I have missed since this one came out or if I can just rollback my version of iTunes

Almost all people fix this with very simple steps....
1) Goto the PC makers site and update your sound card/driver (May as well install all updates they offer for your model while there)
2) In Windows goto Control panel>Quicktime>Audio tab check "Safemode" hit OK and reboot for the settings to take
3) Also try going to Microsoft.com and updating your DirectX

Why is there so many Itunes related programs running in the background of my computer?

It's bad enough Itunes is a brick on my HD. Why can I not disable them?

What is it that you have? On my machine I see 3: iTunes.exe, iTunesHelper.exe, and AppleMobileDeviceHelper.exe.

HT3180 Ok, I got the Apple TV all hooked up. Im pretty handy and have a lot of experience putting electronics together, but this one has got me. I can not seem to get it to connect to my iTunes. Probably something running in the background.

Having problems with Home Sharing with the WiFi. Can not seem to get the Apple TV to connect to my iTunes. Must be something running in the background of the router or laptop. Need help.

Yes to all, however ive noticed when I turn on the itues Home Sharing, and it says it is on in the File pull down, it disapears from the Livrary pull down. I attempt to view my Library on my iPhone or iPad under the Remote app and it states i have no songs or content. Although it will let me mirror my device on the TV screen.

How do I find out what applications are running in the background

I have a 2008 iMac with 2GB memory. How do I find out what programs are running in the background? I am going to buy a new iMac before the end of the year to replace this one. When I looked at Activity Monitor it shows 1.8Gb used but doesn't tell all the programs running.

open activity monitor [if it doesnt launch click winders>Activity Monitor]. then it'll show all proceses

Adobe Bridge not running in the background

You can disable this option at any time, Hope this helps.
I don't have CC but others say the standard option is not there. Can you confirm it is?

When I click on a new link, it opens a whole new firefox instead of using my default which is running in the background

I have firefox as my default browser. Anytime I click on an email or search for something, instead of opening my default browser, firefox loads a new firefox page. It is a blank page just as if I had never had one. It has nothing on it except how you would start out before you set up your tabs and history etc. My default firefox is still there running in the background but I must click on it and manually put in the link I was trying to open.
Any suggestions.

Some added toolbar and anti-virus add-ons are known to cause
Firefox issues. '''Disable All of them.'''
Start '''[https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/troubleshoot-firefox-issues-using-safe-mode Firefox in Safe Mode]''' {web Link} by holding down the '''<Shift ''(Mac Options)'' >''' key, and then starting Firefox. Is the problem still there?

Can the width of a report that has been run in the background be increased?

Hello Experts,
How can I increase the width of a report that I have run in the background so that it does not wrap text to the next line?
I have been running the same HR report successfully in the background for many months. Today I ran it with the same parameters that I've always used and when I retrieve it from my Own Job Spool - System | Own Spool Request | Display Contents the last field is wrapped to the next line.
Thanks.
Regards,
Jeanette

Jeanette,
Thereu2019s another possibility if Tedu2019s suggestion doesnu2019t work. When you look at your spool requests, thereu2019s an icon on the toolbar next to the eyeglasses that looks like a yellow rectangular callout. Itu2019s called u201CDisplay in Maximum Widthu201D. Select the Spool no. to display and then press this icon. Shift + F4 is the shortcut.

HT1365 Hi can anyone help with this issue regarding my wireless magic mouse? When im on google chrome and scrolling down the page i always have youtube running in the background but the audio cuts/spits/pops can anyone help me with this?

Hi can anyone help with this issue regarding my wireless magic mouse? When im on google chrome and scrolling down the page i always have youtube running in the background but the audio cuts/spits/pops can anyone help me with this?

The figures you mention only make sense on your intranet. Are you still using the same wireless router. The verizon one is somewhat limited as far as max wireless-n performace. For one thing it only has a 2.4 radio. I like many people who wanted wireless-n performance before they even added a wireless-n gigabit router, have my own handling my wireless-n network.

Looking for a drum loop app that will run in the background. What are you using?

Looking for a drum loop app that will run in the background. Suggestions? What are you using? I tried Loopseque and I like it, but I can't make it run once I switch apps. Help please.

That's definitely strange, kzmidge. I want a working phone in your hands though. I noticed you mentioned you received the suggestion to complete a reset. Did you already do that? Is it working again? Are you receiving an error message?
If you hesitated a little longer to complete the reset, you can try to place your phone into Safe Mode http://vz.to/rxg0ii and see if you can access mobile sites from your browser. This mode will stop 3rd party applications from running, so you won't be able to use the apps you mentioned but we may be able to narrow down the trouble in Safe Mode. If the mobile sites work, that means the trouble may be in a recently downloaded application and you may be able to avoid the reset my uninstalling some of your more recently installed applications. If it's still giving you trouble, the reset http://vz.to/18wzOCi is the next best step.

Page breaks appear in the spool output of report when run in the background

Hi All,
Report is using fm 'REUSE_ALV_GRID_DISPLAY' to display the report. parameters passed to this fm for display are :it_fieldcat,is_layout,it_events,t_outtab.
Page breaks appear in the spool output when report is run in the background.These page breaks needs to be removed. When executed in the background, the excel extract should be the same as if pulling directly from the report itself.
How to remove the page breaks in background?
Thanks & Regards,
Abhishek Singh

Hi
You can use the below code , which the reprt run in background. If you run the report in background thenyou need to use 'REUSE_ALV_LIST_DISPLAY'
if sy-batch = ' '.
call 'REUSE_ALV_GRID_DISPLAY'.
else.
call 'REUSE_ALV_LIST_DISPLAY'.
endif.
if you are using OO alv then write this code..
CALL METHOD cl_gui_alv_grid=>offline
RECEIVING e_offline = off.
IF off IS INITIAL.
CREATE OBJECT g_custom_container
EXPORTING container_name = g_container.
ENDIF.

Can a java program be run in the background?

Hi all,
Can a java program be run in the background without the user being aware of it? I need to make a program that continuosly monitors a pc at regular intervals and runs at all time. It should be hidden(shouldn't display on the screen while running) from the user, and also, can it be run as a system file so that even if a user checks he/she would think of it as a system file?

I'm the administrator of all the computers. Then as I said there are commercial applications that do that.
Presumably you expect a problem now. And implementing an acceptable solution is going to take you months. Because not only need to 'hide' the application, you also need to set up all the monitoring and logging capability. And the first will require quite a bit of JNI work along with testing (in particular as it could interfer with existing applications on the users computers.)
I need to
install the software in all the machines and i want
that the users who use the machine should not be able
to close the program through the task manager. If the users have admin rights then they can terminate a windows service.
And if they don't have admin rights then you can simply turn off the ability to install anything.
I want
to know what the resources of the computers are and
that if anyone has added a resource to it or
not(attaching a flash usb thumbdrive etc). Lots of JNI.

How do I turn off apps running in the background on iOS7?

I just updated my iPhone 5 to iOS7. How do I turn off apps running in the background? Double tapping the home button and turning each one off doesn't work on the updated iOS.

Double click the Home button and "slide" the open apps 'UP" with your finger, they will disappear.
