ITunes won't close down.

Hi. First time of asking a question so hopefully I will include all sufficient information.
Windows 7 Home Premium, 64 bit. 
iTunes latest version as of today (15 April 2015).
iTunes won't close down.  Continually freezes and I have to use Task Manager to close it down.  Any suggestions?

  • Genius screen won't close down on main app store screen

    Have now turned off genius in App Store but despite clicking on 'done' it won't close down. Any suggestions as the App Store now cannot be accessed?

    I just turned on Genius for Apps and am having the same problem; no matter how many times I touch close, the screen doesn't close.  Therefore, I cannot access the App Store.  Can anyone help with this?

  • Itunes won't close

    I got the latest iTunes on windows XP 64. I can open it up but when I go to close it. It won't close! I just keep pressing the exit button it won't close. Not even Alt+F4 works. Or File>Exit.

    I have the same problem intermittently (though I have XP, not XP 64). 
    I can tell when the program is not going to close properly because iTunes DJ stops updating properly...it'll keep playing, but the counter will still be stuck on a previous song, and once I force-quit through Task Manager, none of the "last played" times from that song on are saved.  Happens at least once a day since I upgraded from 9 to 10.5.
    When iTunes DJ is updating properly, though, it closes without a hitch.

    Hello jdreed3,
    The error message you are receiving is usually because of a failing hard drive. Can you go into the BIOS and run hard drive tests?
    Here is a similar thread in regards to the same issue where the user discovered it was indeed the hard drive that has fried that has been giving him the issues.

  • My photo booth won't close down -

    i am trying to close down programs but the photo booth won't close i've tried apple Q but the little rainbow circle keeps spinning.. help!

    I'm no expert but try and click on the desktop behind the iPhoto window so that it says "Finder" in the upper left. Once you get that screen, the color wheel should go away. Click on the Apple and select - Force Quit. Select iPhoto from the list and it will force it to close.

  • Reader won't close down, running high CPU

    Hello, I've recently updated to the Reader XI thinking that it may solve my problem, but it was happening with the previous version also.  After viewing pdf files and closing the files, Reader still continues to run in the background.  CPU usage runs at 50% and if I've open multiple files, CPU usage runs up to 100%.  My computer is slow, lags, gets hot and the fan continues to run.  The only way I can seem to close the program is through the task manager.  The application shows as AcroRd32.exe*32.  When I stop the application, my system resumes to normal and the fan stops once the computer has cooled down.  Can anyone help with a solution?  I'm also running Windows 7.  Thank you kindly.

    I'm having the exact same problem as cmmcaw above -- and yes, I'm running Windows 7, too (and it's completely updated).  A few days ago, my computer slowed down to a crawl, the fan was running full blast, and the machine was getting hot.  The next time my computer was on, I scanned my system thoroughly, and there was no sign of malware.  The next time my computer's fan started churning, I opened up Task Manager and discovered that Adobe Reader X was not shutting down (and yes, my CPU was running at 100%).  I have now installed Adobe Reader XI in the hopes of fixing the problem.  It appears to work all right when I'm in my Administrator account, but when I'm in my User account, I encounter the same problem that I had with Adobe Reader X -- Adobe Reader just does not shut down properly.  Reader XI opens up just fine, and then it appears to close, but in reality Reader is actually running in the background, trying to fully close down.   
    In order to solve the problem, I tried to download the .zip file you suggested above, but it won't download (and that's on my Admin. account).  Adobe encounters some sort of error (it won't say what kind).  I tried downloading the file with my virus scanner turned off, but still no go.  Cleaned cookies, ensured they were enabled -- still no go.
    So, why does Adobe XI seem to work okay on my Administrator account, but refuse to shut down properly on my User account?  And how do I fix this problem?  I mean, I can alway just shut it down fully through Task Manager, but it's not supposed to work that way. 

  • Labview won't close down properly after installing Service Pack 2

    Hi,
    We installed Service Pack 2 for Windows XP recently and ever since, I've had trouble closing down Labview. I'm using Labview 6.1 and whenever I try to close it down, it won't fully close down and I have to use Task Manager to shut it down.
    What happens is that I get a minimised window on the bottom of the screen that won't go away.
    Has anybody seen this before and can anybody help.
    Thanks,
    Kenneth

    In my experience, SP2 for XP introduced a whole lot of bugs and mishaps. You would be better off uninstalling SP2 if you can. If you want to keep SP2, you may have to uninstall Labview, then re-install it.
    I personally can't confirm this statement. I have XP SP2 with the latest patches applied and I have not really problems with LabVIEW 6.0, 6.1, 7.0, and 7.1. Only NI-Max likes to crash sometimes but since it is a notebook I have little reason to run NI-Max until now.

  • IPhoto 5 won't close down

    I haven't had any trouble with iPhoto 5 until this week. Now the program refused to close down normally and even Force Quit is sometimes not able to do the job. Also, when editing photos, the Saving Changes bar comes on with its buddy, the spinning beachball and nothing happens. Force Close is then used. I have Repaired Permissions a couple of times, but no change. I have checked for software updates, but all is current.
    I have AppleCare as a backup but wanted to canvass the community first.

    Try rebuilding your iPhoto library. This is undocumented, but when starting up iPhoto hold down CMD-OPTION (i.e. ⌘⌥). When the dialog box comes up, select the option to rebuild your entire database; it's fast and safe.

  • ITunes won't shut down - but only after syncing

    I ran into an odd problem and found a workaround, so I thought I would post it here in case anyone else runs into this. In searching, I couldn't find anything like it:
    The details: Running iTunes 7.5 on a freshly installed copy of XP. Have two iPods -- a Touch, and an iPod video.
    The problem: If I open and close iTunes without connecting an iPod, everything is fine. However, if I connect either iPod and allow it to sync, iTunes will continue to run even after it's shut down. It starts hogging as much CPU time as it can get, which slows the system to a crawl -- and causes an error message when I try to restart the machine.
    The solution: I found I could eliminate this problem if after syncing, I went into the Windows Task Manager and killed the "SyncServer.exe" process. So just for yuks, I found this file and moved it from its current location so that it would never load. I thought iTunes would balk at this, but it didn't -- both iPods still sync, and the above problem no longer occurs.
    Surely there's got to be some penalty for killing this file, but I haven't run into any problems ... yet. Has anyone else been bit by this issue?

  • Firefox won't close down all the way after watching a video. I exit out, and the sound continues. When I try to re-open firefox, I get a message about how I have to restart my computer. How do I fix this?

    Basically whenever I watch a video and I exit out of the video I have to restart my computer to get Firefox back open. If I exit out or go to a new page while the video is playing, the audio continues like nothing has happened. I've checked my task manager and it shows that Firefox is closed. When I try to re-open Firefox I get an error message that tells me Firefox is running but is unresponsive and I have to restart my computer. How do I get it to stop doing this?

    Try holding control, alt and delete down in succession and then a dialogue box will appear with windows task manager. Once open click on the Processes Tab and look for firefox.exe. Highlight this and then click end process. It should come up with a warning but just click Yes. This should then close firefox and allow you to reopen it from your desktop without shutting down your computer. Hope this helps.

  • Firefox won't close down completely when I close the program

    When I close Firefox I can't reopen it later as it still shows it as running in Task Manager in Win XP. I have to go into Task Manager, shut it down there and then I can reopen it normally.

    At least you have found a correct workaround. For troubleshooting info
