ITunes (Windows) does not quit properly

Closing windows version using "x" at top right corner of screen or selecting Exit from file menu makes iTunes clear the screen, but it's still runnning.
I have to do a ctrl-alt-del and then manually quit the process tree.
Otherwise, re-clicking on the iTunes shortcut or even doing a "Start->iTunes" will get you a spinning clock and then nothing on screen.
Windows task manager will claim it's running, but there is no interface.
Sometimes Windows shutdown is hung up because a program named (looks like about 20 open boxes but with an iTunes logo) is running, but will not quit.
itunes Mac on same network connection works flawlessly.
Any suggestions?

Could be antivirus or malware, have you checked your PC for Viruses and ad/spyware? Also try disabling antivirus. you could run a check on windows and see if some files in windows is corrupt by running chkdsk/ error checking.
Open "My Computer" rightclick on your harddrive, hit properties and select the "tools" tab. under "Error Check" hit check now. you wll get a pop up basicly saying it will run when you reboot or something like that. hit OK and then reboot. the program will run after booting up, and when its done it will load windows.

CRITICAL: Program Error - iTunes window does not fit properly on my screen...

Hello,
I have just installed the iTunes update and now I have a problem. I have my task bar at the TOP of my screen, rather than at the bottom, which is more common. Now, iTunes has written its own window into the area where my task bar would normally reside. Not only that, but it is UNDER the task bar, so I cannot access it without auto-hiding the task bar. Even when I do this, and resize the window, the iTunes Window goes back to taking up the full screen, except for the fact that it leaves a blank space at the bottom of the window, presumably for the task bars that are on the bottom.
How can I get this to be fixed, NOW??? I have just decided to start using iTunes regularly, outside of my normal iPhones usage, for music management. I'm wondering if I should re-think this decision! Help.

My igoogle homepage started loading off-center. I could hit "refresh" and it would then load properly, but I wanted it to load correctly from launch.
After disabling add-ons (extensions), I discovered that the SKYPE extension was to blame. I uninstalled the extension and now the homepage loads correctly...centered.

Cannot send email. When I click Write the window does not open properly. Does not have the "send, spelling, attach security save" line.

Hi Stephen,
What version of MS Office are you using?
Are you facing the issue similar to that mentioned here: Acrobat/Reader: Attach to Email button not working for PDFs referenced from long URLs
Open Acrobat. Use the click-path Edit - Preferences - select the Category "Email Accounts". In the dialog there is the "Add Account" drop-down. Select "Add Other". The "Add Webmail Account" dialog presents. You'll fill out the dialog's fields with Outlook.com settings. (don't forget the "Advance Settings" button)
From a look-see on the web it appears that the following are the needed settings. BUT, you'll be wanting to validate.
The Outlook.com SMTP server settings for sending outgoing messages from an email program on desktop, cell phone or mobile device are:
• Outlook.com SMTP server address: smtp.live.com
• Outlook.com SMTP user name: Your full Outlook.com email address (not an alias)
• Outlook.com SMTP password': Your Outlook.com password
• Outlook.com SMTP port: 587
• Outlook.com SMTP TLS/SSL encryption required: yes
For incoming messages from an Outlook.com account to an email program using POP, use the Windows Live Hotmail POP3 server settings.
The Outlook.com POP server settings for downloading new incoming messages to email program, cell phone or mobile device are:
• Outlook.com POP server address: pop3.live.com
• Outlook.com POP user name: Your full Outlook.com email address (not an alias)
• Outlook.com POP password: Your Outlook.com password
• Outlook.com POP port: 995
• Outlook.com POP TLS/SSL encryption required: yes

Itunes window does not open

running itunes 8 on 2.4ghz osx 10.5.5 imac.
when i open itunes the application opens but the window does not nor can i get it to open. when i initially click on itunes to open it the curser blips to the opening egg timer for about 1 quarter second but the window does not open. the menu bar opens and all drop downs appear but no window.

I had this happen too. go to system preferences and move the dock from it's current position. I found the itunes window was under the dock...

I've been using FCP 7 on my iMac for quite some time with great success. Lately I created a new project and the browser window does not format properly (it's O.K. for previously created projects). The effects window is also not displaying properly.

Help! My browser window is suddenly not formatting properly. (losing browser formatting, glitch, bug) I'm using FCP 7 on an iMac with OS X 10.8.5 and have been successfully doing so for a couple of years. I fear my Final Cut Pro is corrupt and I have to re-install. Anyone ever see this problem? Old projects display and behave fine in the browser, but any new project I create, totally loses the formatting in the browser and the browser also does not display the "effects" window properly anymore. (see below)

YOU ARE A LIFE SAVER! I reinstalled the program and everything. THANK YOU! THANK YOU! MY HERO!!!

Apple software update for windows does not work properly

Apple software update does not work properly

I FIXED IT!! I can't believe it . I actually figured out how to make it work(well sort of). My Apple Software Updater now works (almost) perfectly and I just successfully downloaded and installed itunes 10.6.3.25 through it!!!
Ok , the way I see it, either the latest itunes update or the recent Windows Patch Tuesday on June 12th, 2012 must have inadvertently removed the Administrative Rights from the Apple Software Update Tool .lnk file.
So you must go to where the file resides on your hard drive - for me that was C:\Program Data\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs - Right click on the Apple software Tool icon and choose properties. Click on the compatibility tab. At the bottom of this tab click on "change settings for all users" and hit Yes at the UAC pop-up. Now make sure you place a check in the "Run this program as Administrator" under the Privilege level section at the bottom. Hit Apply and then OK. The hit Ok again to get off the properties pop-up.
When I went back and clicked on the Apple Software Update shortcut, I got a UAC pop-up asking me if I wanted to proceed(something I had always, in the past, gotten but haven't since this problem started). The Apple Software Update tool came up and to my suprise the progress bar STAYED and started to slowly fill up partially with the green progress bar. Viola, the itunes 10.6.3 update showed up on the top part of the screen as a new update needing to be installed - the bottom screen, as usual, had the changelog info for the 10.6.3 update. I clicked on install and , again, Viola. the update downloaded and installed flawlessly. I had to reboot my computer and when it restarted, itunes was working perfectly and it was correctly showing as itunes v10.6.3.25.
I say it is almost or sort of fixed because when you click on the Apple Software Update shortcut after the 10.6.3 install it goes back to doing the same thing it did before(i.e. processing for a second and then saying there are new updates but showing a blank field). Maybe this is the way the software now looks if there are no updates available to install - maybe Apple is working on this to eventually get it back to normal. All I know is the process I outlined above worked for me(at least to get the ASU to recognize and properly download and install itunes 10.6.3). It's certainly not perfect, but it worked. Please try this method and let me know what results you have with it. Good luck.

Sally, Funny that you mention this but my mac book pro started doing the same thing after the leopard 10.5.1 update. Has to be a software bug and I have not seen any other post relating to this.

Report window does not close properly when using openDocument

XI R2 InfoView
Windows 2003 server
IIS
IE7
We have been experimenting with the use of openDocument and have managed to achieve what we wanted but have one small problem. When the document is retrieved it is opened in a new browser window. When Close is selected from the drop-down Document menu the document is closed but the window shrinks to approx 8.5cm x 6 cm and remains open.
A similar thing happens when we use the Preview button to view a document in the CMC, except in that case the document does not close and closing the browser window leaves a button on the Windows taskbar. There doesn't appear to be a related window as it cannot be restored but you have to right click and select Close to get rid of it.
Any ideas what is causing these problems and how we can get round them?

Anne,
There are some parameters in opendocument (for ex. sWindow) that can help control certain things, have you tried employing anything like that? What I find frustrating is the behavior of opendocument based on whether you're running Infoview or WebI -- each product, using the same exact opendocument syntax yields different results. Based on the sample code below, what I'm seeing with Infoview is the same browser instance is used for calling the child report, however, in WebI, a new browser instance is started and the child report is rendered in Infoview. In my case, when running within WebI and getting a new browser instance in Infoview, and then using the "Document", "close" workflow, the second instance is exiting and I'm back to the previous browser. Staying within Infoview entirely through the process, when closing the child report I get brought back to the folder list page. Who's to know?

Itunes match does not work properly

The symbol for cloud does not appear anymore in my iTunes library. I have no problems using my iPhone or iPad, only iTunes on the Macmini gives problems.
An other strange thing is that the volume and apeaker choice does not work as it should be on the Mac mini for music that is on my computer. The few albums that are shown in iCloud work just fine.
After I had stopped iTunes match and restarted it. The message was given that all my music could be used through the cloud. On the Mac mini it is not like that.

Hi,
Every music on my hard drive is sored in the regular iTunes music library as .m4a
There is no iCloud symbol showed in iTunes, but I can listen to every piece of music if I use the iPad or iPhone. The music is streamd from iCloud and played on one of mine airpkay speakers.

Mail Application Does Not Quit Properly

I have a brand new iMac 20" and a new .Mac account. My son has an older PowerBook G4 and a separate .Mac account of his own. We both experience the same problem on our Macs...
Sometimes when we use Mail to check our .Mac e-mail after we are done using the program we go to quit the program. Sometimes, not all the time, the program window closes (it disappears from the screen) but the little triangle still stays under the Mail icon and the word Mail stays in bold in the top left-hand corner indicating that the program is still open. It will stay that way for hours if we let it.
The only way we know to get rid of this is to force quit Mail but we are assuming that is the wrong way and/or does damage. My son's PowerBook is somewhat older, but has barely any e-mails in his account. My iMac is brand new (as is my .Mac account) and has very few e-mails as well.
What seems to be causing this and how can we fix it? I am unable to shut down my Mac until I force quit Mail... otherwise when I go to shutdown nothing happens.
Thank you.

Launch the Console application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Console in the icon grid.
Make sure the title of the Console window is All Messages. If it isn't, select All Messages from the SYSTEM LOG QUERIES menu on the left. If you don't see that menu, select
View ▹ Show Log List
from the menu bar.
Click the Clear Display icon in the toolbar. Then try the action that you're having trouble with again. Select any messages that appear in the Console window. Copy them to the Clipboard (command-C). Paste into a reply to this message (command-V).

The properties window does not open properly for bookmarks.

When I go to Bookmarks > Bookmark This Page, the window that opens should have the information filled in, correct? Because mine is always blank. The bookmark does get made if I click Done, even with everything looking blank. Also, when I right-click on a bookmark & select Properties, the Properties window that opens only shows the blue bar at the top, nothing else. I can't expand the window. It's been doing this since the previous version that I had. Also, keep in mind that I'm a computer technician, so I know what I'm doing.

Hi,
does it happen for all tables or it's related to specific set of tables (or just one table)?
PS. Did some more research: The error message from the logfile seems to be unrelated to the recalcitrant properties window. Yes, those errors are not related to problem.
properties dialog won't appear if there are some errors during initialization of dialog and its related to table that cause the problem. You should be able to open dialog for another table.
It'll be great if you can find out after what changes dialog for some tables doesn't appear.
Thanks,
Philip

ITunes window does not appear

iTunes still appears as an icon in the dock, and the library is intact. Yet when I click to open it, no window appears. At all. The only way I can get any songs to play is by going to the library and clicking on them directly.
Right before this started happening, I did 2 things -- maybe one or both contributed: (A)- I downloaded the latest iTunes, v 9.0.2, and (B) I connected my old iPod, which someone else had been using, with different music (not in my library) on it. I was trying to copy my music back on it, but no icon of it ever appeared, and no music was synced.

Yes I know. However, in Vienna there are just authorized dealers and they are not quiet as competent and helpful as the people in the Apple stores. So I was hoping to get some ideas here.

Home window does not display properly

When I first sign on to Firefox, the home window (Google) is displayed too far to the right of the screen to use. The only fix I have found for this is to slightly re-align the screen by moving the tab in the bottom right corner. This alignment problem is not critical, but is irritating since the screen must be re-aligned for each signon.

Please create a screenshot of the problem you're seeing by following the guide mentioned at [[How do I create a screenshot of my problem?]].

When I updated to ios 5 I was forced to create a new Apple ID. Now my iTunes sync does not work properly. Why did it do this and is there a way to fix it?

I already had an iTunes account when I pushed the iPhone. After upgrading the OS to 5.0.1, I kept receiving an error message saying that my AppleID was invalid, even though it worked perfectly within iTunes on my PC. It seemed to want my email address as my "new" AppleID so I entered that, but it created a second ID. It seems my cloud account and the "phone" iTunes is attached to the newer ID and my "PC" iTunes account is attached to the older ID.
Now, when I try to sync iTunes, I don't see all of the songs I purchased, some sync and others appear to sync but are grayed out with the sync icon next to the title. The songs are still on my phone, but not in my iTunes library.
Is there any way to fix this and consolidate the accounts? Also, why did the upgrade force me to create a new AppleID? I haven't upgraded to the 4 or 5 phone because I'm afraid this is going to happen again and I'll have a third AppleID to contend with.
Thanks!!

There is no way to consolidate iTunes accounts.
Setting up an iPhone has never required creation of a new Apple ID.
You've apparently purchased content with both Apple ID's. Sign into the device with the correct Apple ID and sync the content.

IPod classic recognized by iTunes, but does not sync properly...

When I sync (automatically or manually, I've tried both) my 160gb iPod on iTunes, the iPod says "Syncing" for a few moments before changing to "connected" (as if it were done syncing). My iTunes shows that the iPod is syncing, yet nothing happens.
I have reset my iPod, and restarted my notebook, but this problem seems to persist. I have not restored my iPod and/or removed iTunes and reloaded it, as both of these take significant time.
Any suggestions would be appreciated.

I would go the restore route myself. Shouldn't take super long. Ya not quick, but sure beats not being able to sync it at all.
Cheers,
Patrick
