ITunes will not close!  possible scripting issue

i'm coming across this situation almost daily, iTunes will refuse to close when i hit the close button or go File -> Exit. sometimes i will get a prompt that iTunes is scripting but usually it just doesn't respond to either methods of closing. obviously i can just go into Task Manager and force it to quit, but i shouldn't have to do that.
any reason why this is happening?

Some script is using the itunes COM interface.
There are any number of things you could have DL'ed from the internet that would do this. You'd have to tell us!

  • Itunes will not close, it just pops right back up!

    Win 7 64 bit, new install and updated. Installed Itunes but it will not close down.

    Do you have Logitech Gaming Software installed?  If so, uninstall it and see if this resolves the issue.

  • Itunes will not close down,

    Go to Activity Monitor, search for "itunes," and quit every process related to iTunes.

  • ITUNES WILL NOT CLOSE, WILL NOT CONNECT SONGS, why, god, why

    It just won't close. every time i exit it pops itself open a few seconds later. i told it to get rid of the icon in the system tray, that won't help either. why will it not just exit?
    in related news, my ipod won't connect anymore. the computer gets as far as recognizing that there's hardware attached, but itunes will then freeze and not do anything and i have to unplug the ipod to get my computer working again.
    somebody help!

    If anyone else can't play songs from their device in iTunes, try steps below which solved my problem:
    Be sure your device is selected.
    Right Click anywhere on Contents screen.
    Select "Reset Plays" your selected song(s) should begin playing.
    The "Pause, Play etc" buttons are no longer greyed out.

  • Droid 4 ear speaker will not work / possible software issue

    My droid 4's ear speaker has not been working. If I go to make a call, I cannot hear anything unless I put it on speaker phone.
    I do not believe this is a hardware issue however because everytime I restart my phone, the ear speaker will work for a couple of calls I make (and sound just fine) and then randomly stop working.
    I was wondering if I had any other options before attempting a hard reset. Has anyone else had issues with this and found out what was causing the problem? whether its from a crazy app or from something being disabled?
    The only 'trouble shooting' I can find on this websites says to put it into safe mode (which the ear speaker will work in safe mode) and then to start deleting apps to see which one is causing the problem. This seems rather 'clunky' and I'd rather just reset the whole thing if no one has any other suggestions....as it would take me all day to figure out what app is causing the problem...assuming that it even is an app and not something that has somehow been disabled.
    Any help/suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

    Flashlight

  • ITunes Will Not Close When I Click The Red "X".

    I then have to go to "Task Manager" and then "Processes" then manually end the process of iTunes. This is a very frequent problem, please fix soon. I have had many versions of iTunes and they had the same problem, right now I am on the latest update of 10.4.0.80.

    Hmm, log isn't much help is it
    Can you confirm what you mean by a factory reset?
    Some other users have had corrupt apps, that were fixed by re-installing the OS over the top.
    I was planning on getting you to reinstall the OS, it can be done without overwriting the files you have installed, it will work like an 'upgrade'.
    The default installer option is 'reinstall OS X' this means your user data & 3rd party application data should remain in place. However if you have nothing of interest on the Mac a clean install would be OK too.
    I wouldn't attempt a re-install without backing up in case anything goes wrong, obviously a clean install removes all your data.
    It is worth getting connected via a wired connection (ethernet) if at all possible. If the installer needs to be downloaded it can take a long time on wifi & can fail if the wifi is poor. An alternative is to create a bootable USB installer, ask if you want to do that, it's fairly simple.
    To 'clean install' you boot into recovery mode (hold 'cmd+R' at boot)
    Select Disk Utility from the options
    Select your main 'volume' in the list on the left, below the disk icon. It will be called Macintosh HD (or whatever the disk is named).
    Select the erase tab & erase it.
    Quit Disk Utility
    Open the 're-install Mac OS X' item & install onto the volume you just erased.

  • MSI Z87m Gaming will not launch Possible BIOS issue?

    Hi all,
    I have been looking over the internet for the past 2hrs trying to source and solution to my MOBO problem, but have been unsuccessful.
    I ran MSI Live updater and did a total install. While it was updating I was playing Battle Field, Live updater appeared to alt tabbed to approve a step, as I clicked ok my computer flickered between desktop and Battle Field then froze.
    I then restarted my computer but neither of the monitors responded. The MOBO powers on for 30sec then it restarted itself, with the monitor not responding to any of it.
    I have unplugged my Video card and plug the HDMI cable into the MOBO directly still no luck.
    I removed the CMOS battery and power supply cable for 30mins in an attempt to fix this probably, unfortunately still no luck.
    After looking online I think it may be a MOBO Bios error related to Live update program, but I have no idea how to fix this problem.

    Live Update also updates bios if set to update everything. While it is already risky to flash bios in Windows when it works without other software being used running a game meanwhile is board suicide. The update therefor failed in the process and bricked your board. As it does not offer a backup bios it is now dead and requires hardware (SPI flash programming device) to be restored. That takes MSI or a pc-shop. Else you can only rma the board.

  • Itunes will not open- "iTunes has encountered a problem and needs to close"

    My iTunes will not open anymore, giving me the error message: "iTunes has encountered a problem and needs to close. We are sorry for the inconvenience." I have uninstalled and reinstalled iTunes several times, and with different versions. Nothing I do seems to work. I have even copied the program files from a friend whose iTunes does work, hoping that would fix it, but to no avail. Has anyone discovered a way to fix this problem. I have a friend who has the same problem, but hasn't been able to fix it either.

    What happens when you go into control panel, click on the Quick Tunes config icon, and then select the audio tab? If you get an error, Quick Time is corrupted. Also double check your sound card drivers. Can you play any sound at all? Does Windows Media Player function? What is you anti virus software?

  • Itunes volume frozen at zero and will not close

    hello, the volume slider in itunes intermittently gets frozen at zero. i can drag it to the right but as soon as i release the slider it snaps back to zero [all the way down]. when this happens itunes will not shut down, it closes and then reopens immeadiately, even if i chose to 'force close' it reopens. if i try to restart my mac itunes cancels the process. the only way to resolve, so far is to do a hard shutdown by hand. itunes will work for awile but eventually returns to this condition.
    thanks for any ideas,
    js

    I copied this from https://discussions.apple.com/message/23501949#23501949.   It fixed my problem.
    Couple of things ...
    While the iPhone is actually syncing, you see something like this:
       (note the spinning "syncing" wheel)
    You'll notice when it's done, it seems to be hanging and you get something like this - indefinitely:
      But, if you look again, you'll see the "eject" button has replaced the "syncing wheel":
    So, at this point, just eject it and you're fine -- really.
    And, if you don't trust that, then do this:
      Go to the Music tab of iTunes and add or remove just one song or one artist or one playlist.
      Then, click the Apply button in the lower right corner.
      You will notice that THIS way the Sync Process finishes cleanly.
    Hope this helps!!

    When I go to iTunes and then check for updates. I can not do this action due to the fact iTunes will not connect to the internet although the internet is working just fine, what do I do to fix this issue? Apparently I am currently using iTunes 7.0.

    If you're really using iTunes 7.0 you are very far behind the current version - maybe it is trying to connect to a decomissioned server.  In fact I am kind of surprised it will run on a Macbook Air.  Are you sure you are running iTunes 7?

  • ITunes will uses 100% cpu and will not close in OSX Lion

    When I start up iTunes, after a few minutes, the fan kicks on and Activity Monitor shows that it is using 100% CPU. The fan kicks up and the MBP gets warm. I have to force close to get it to shut down. iTunes match is constantly running, so maybe that has something to do with it?
    I'm not running it in Mini Player mode or anything like that, so I'm not sure what's causing the problem. Any thoughts on how to diagnose it?

    I also have this problem which has been getting worse with recent successive updates of Firefox. As a long-time user and advocate, I am about ready to look for an alternative browser. Firefox will not close and exit properly, requiring direct cancellation through Task Manager; starts up very slowly (often 1 to 2 minutes); and frequently locks up the CPU with 100% of cycles while doing NOTHING; offers to restart crashed sessions, but cannot recover and reload those sessions; will not operate correctly while any other application accesses the internet, like uTorrent. Firefox is set to delete cookies, etc. whenever the session closes, sqlite database is vacuumed regularly, CCleaner regularly wipes remaining accretions, and disk is defragged. Currently running 3.5.5 but will NOT upgrade until this problem is solved since later builds report the same problems. I know several other users who have experienced the same problem and I can no longer automatically recommend Firefox to users and clients. Is anybody paying any attention to this problem? What is being done to address this fault? Why is there no response to the original poster? Is this really a support forum or just a way to preoccupy and distract the users who suffer this malfunction? Wireless 54Mbps connection. No Adobe Flash, QuickTime, MS Silverlight, etc. installed on this machine. Firefox 3.5.5 with the following add-ons:
    Aardvark 3.0
    Adblock Plus 1.2.1
    Adblock Plus: Element Hiding Helper 1.0.6
    Free Download Manager plugin 1.3.4
    Highlighter 0.1.4
