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.

  • I just downloaded itunes 10.6 and it will not allow me to edit song info! Why?

    why won't itunes 10.6 allow me to edit song info?

    Have you moved your iTunes library recently? Are you using a different profile?
    Right-click on your main iTunes folder and click Properties, then go to the Security tab and click Advanced. If necessary grant your account and SYSTEM full control of this folder, subfolders and files, then tick the option to replace permissions on child objects which will repair permissions throughout the library. This is the XP dialog but Windows 7 shouldn't be too different.
    If it won't let you change the permissions use the Owner tab to take ownership from an account with administer privileges.
    Also in iTunes properties tap the read-only check box until it clears, then click OK. When prompted apply the change to the folder and all files and subfolders.

  • EBooks book will not close, I have opened my first book (as a pdf) and it will not close. Not sure what to do.

    Hi,
    I have iPad Model MC916ZP/A with version 6.1.3
    I have started to download ebooks in a pdf format, which I sync from my PC (via iTunes).  This has been successful and initially I could see all the books in eBooks bookshelf.  I opened one, skipped through it and wanted to browse another but found I could not get out of that book.  I can actually close the program eBooks, but when I open it back up again it returns to the same place on the same book with no option to close at either end of the book.
    I have synched a new pdf ebook which shows it has been transferred to the iPad but made no difference to being able to close that book.
    I only installed the new version yesterday before beginning to sync books.
    Perhaps some file is missing?
    Any suggestions will be greatly appreciated.
    Regards,
    Sally

  • Firefox keeps closing out hotmail with out warning at all in CA., U.S.A. plus will not close out since 2 weeks ago now ,why is this happening and when will it be fixed? S.A.

    why is firefox not allowing hotmail to be used the last 3 weeks?
    I keep having my service shut down plus will not allow singing out all the way. is there any plans to fix this problem ? how soon will you fix this problem.
    you are way better than internet explored and they are not doing these things so why are you allowing these problems to keep going on?
    thank you for getting this fixed and back to normal A SAP.

    Hi systemBuilder, you are not alone in your frustration. The problem is the plugin model: plugins are allowed to do much more than they can be trusted to do intelligently. Without a change to that, Firefox cannot stop the Flash player from changing window focus.

  • IPod does not show up when connected to USB port; why?

    My grandson has an iPod Shuffle.
    Working with iTunes6, I connected the iPod to the USB port becasuse we wanted to get a print-out of the 75 songs there.
    It did not show up in iTunes listing; why??
    We know the songs are there; they can be played.
    The iPod was identified back in February as "Valentino" on a different computer; I wish I had that machine because "Valentino" showed up on it.
    BTW, I have now up-graded to iTunes7 but the iPod is not here to try it out.

    A whole list!! Such as?
    Besides, after reading the emails about iTunes7, I'm in no hurry to try anything right now.
    I'll wait until iTunes7 gets stable.
    If iTunes7 were to wipe out my ten year old grandson's 75 songs (as apparently it is very capable of doing) from his iPod, Apple can forget about him as a customer for a long, long, long time.

  • My ipod nano plays a few seconds of a song, then pauses, why is this happening?

    my ipod nano will play the beginning of a song then pause, why?

    This happens with every song?  Does the music stop when the display turns off?

  • My ipod shuffle will connect to itunes on computer but will not fully charge and will not play songs

    My Ipod shuffle was washed in a washing machine but dried completely. Now it will connect to my itunes on my computer but will not completely charge or play songs. Can anyone tell me if this is a lost cause and I should buy a new one or is there hope that I can fix this.

    Moisture will cause short circuits, so the battery is being affected.  The audio output is also affected.  You really can't tell if it is completely dry, on the inside.  So, it's possible the current condition will improve if it is left alone to dry out for while longer.  It is also possible that moisture (and short circuits) caused permanent damage.
    Since it is recognized in iTunes, you can try doing a Restore (from the shuffle's Summary or Settings tab).
    There is nothing else you can do (actively) to fix it, so if you want to have a usable shuffle now, you'll need to get a new one.  You can leave this one alone for a month or so (in a dry well-ventilated location), and try it again.  If it works, you'll have a new shuffle and a backup.

  • 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,

    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.

  • 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
    MR Tech Toolkit 6.0.4
    repagination 2006.4.5.1
    Save Complete 1.0.1
    Session Manager 0.6.8.3
    Tab Mix Plus 0.3.8.4
    Unhide Passwords 1.2.5.1

    Thanks for any help or suggestions.

  • Each time I connect my iPad to computer, the pop up screen on the computer will show another name not my iPad name. The name shown on iTunes in device are is my iPad name. How would I rename it? Please help!

    Gotcha, sorry, I'm guessing you are referring to Windows Autoplay.  This should do it:
    Type regedit into your search bar and bring up Registry editor. Go to the the very top with My Computer. Now go to Edit and Find. Type in the whole offending name that is bugging you, i.e. Soandso's iPhone and hit find. After it searches your registry and finds the first name select it and Edit the Name. I copy/pasted it for all the next steps. After you have found the first name don't stop there. Use F3 to find next Name in registry and So on and so fourth until you have replaced every offending name in your whole registry with the Name you want to show up i.e. Tom's iPhone or whatever? Repeat all of these steps if you have more than one name showing up in your devices? Worked 100% for me. Close regedit and reboot (very important for changes.) Plug your iPhone back in and enjoy all your names back to normal.

  • Itunes stuck at "Finishing Sync" and will not close normally on Windows 8.1

    I recently upgrade to Windows 8.1 and also have the latest version of Itunes (11.1.2.32)
    I have uninstalled and re installed, no change. Originally I had a problem that ITunes wouldn't open without crashing but the dll file fix resolved that.
    Now I have to issues.
    1: When I sync my or my wifes Ipads and iphone 5's, The sidebar will show that it has stopped syncing but Itunes it self up top is stuck at Finishing sync. I get no error if I unplug but the status up top reads "Finishing Sync"
    2:When I try to close ITunes, I receive the "There are one or more applications using the sync service" Then gives me an option to wait for Itunes to close normally after 20 seconds or Quit.
    Anyone know how to resolve either or both of these questions?

  • I have purchased actual ring tones, not songs or MP3s, RING TONES.  They used to be on my Iphone but when I got a new laptop and downloaded new ITunes, they are showing up in Itunes in RINGTONES, but will not transfer to my iphone. They are checked. Help?

    I have purchased actual ringtones from the ITunes store.  They were working fine on my Iphone 3 before, but I got a new laptop and the new version of ITunes, and now even though they are listed as ring tones on my ITunes, they will not transfer to my Iphone.  (Please do not tell me they are songs and not ring tones, they are definitely RING TONES!)  Can anyone help me with this?  Thanks.

    Use the Transfer Purchases command in the File menu of iTunes.

  • I got a new iPhone 5 and my itunes music will not sync properly. it will show up on the phone but it is light gray wording and they are not selected only a few songs work. The grayed out music just takes up space. Someone please help.

    My itunes music is grayed out and unplayable on my new iphone 5. only a few songs work and the rest just take up space. They will play correctly in my itunes on the computer but not the phone. Please help.

    I am so relieved to hear that I am not the only one experiencing this! However, I am sorry to hear you are going through this as well. Lucky for me I am upgrading to a 5s which will be sent to me on Wednesday. I did stumble upon an article with tips on how to downgrade back to iOS 7, but I am EXTREMELY apprehensive about doing that myself. Here's the article link if you want to give it a go:
