Itunes won't close or exit after prolong use.

After leaving itunes open for a prolong period of time (a whole day or longer) I am unable to exit or close the program.
The only way is to force exit in task manager. Any way to fix this?
I've seen past post suggesting Nod32 or Eset software conflicts with itunes. I have tried  excluding the itunes folder and have the latest updated version from eset but problem still remains.
side note: I also notice my podcast smart playlist stops live updating when I am unable to properly exit itunes. Not sure if this is a related issue or separate problem.
Winxp sp3
Itunes 10.4.1.10
Eset Smart Security 5

I found a temp work around to my problem.
Whenever I had iTunes auto update my podcasts it evenetually choke up and not allow me to exit.
I just have to manually click update podcasts once a day and exit/close before updating. Rather annoying.

    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?

  • Audio Meters "peak indicator" gets stuck after prolonged use of Premiere Pro CC.

    Does anyone else have this issue? After using Premiere for a while (maybe an hour or so straight) the audio meters peak indicator will not reset when you start/stop. What do I mean? If your audio level peaks or goes into the red, it stays there like it should letting you know that the levels had hit above +0db. This is normal. This is good. But usually when you stop the timeline and start again, that red peak indicator is reset and disappears. But for me, after prolonged use (which is say about an hour or so), the meters stop resetting and the red does not go away unless I click on the meter to make it disappear. It looks like this even after stopping/starting the timeline:
    ***Meters work fine for the first 30mins - hour or so of editing. Hitting stop and then start again resets the meters as it should.
    ***Eventually the peak indicator (see screenshot above) gets stuck and won't go away. The meters continue to work fine, but the red does not go away.
    Only way to then reset it is by clicking on the meter itself. Restarting Premiere Pro CC will put everything back to normal again and it should work fine again...for a while...before its starts to lock up again. This issue was present in 7.0.0 as well as the newly updated 7.0.1  I'm on a 2011 27" iMac with 16gb of RAM. (I've submitted a bug report, but curious if this happens to others.)

    Maybe it's just you who has that much clipping audio.  Most of us tend to avoid that.

    As much as I wish all my audio were perfectly leveled at all times... You mix live weddings with DJ's that don't know their own equipment with layers of audio in post and its a recipe for some +0db audio.
    In all seriousness, I do hope that if others see this bug, they'll chime in and that this bug gets fixed. It's annoying.

  • Safari problem after prolonged use.

    Right heres my current annoyance with my iPhone 3G, taken from my actual phone:
    http://i35.tinypic.com/1zwlpv9.jpg
    Browsing the web via Safari is usually a joy for the first 10 minutes or so continual use. I get no errors, no timeouts and speeds are near enough as quick as my 20mb cable connection whilst browsing on my MacBook.
    However, after prolonged use of Safari, I start getting the above error almost every time I click on a link or try to change website. If I click on the link enough it will eventually load though. Not only that, as you can see from the screenshot above of Facebook, you can see Safari will change the font and the layout so it looks like the above. Images also wont load. Turning the phone off and rebooting seems to cure it.
    I was hoping 2.0.1 and more recently 2.0.2 would fix this but its still there more than ever.
    To combat the problem, I hard reset the phone, did a full restore to 2.0.2 and set up a new phone profile but still got the same problem after prolonged use.
    Anyone have the same problem or even better, a solution? Im starting to think I have a fault with my iPhone.

  • E4200 - Gets hot after prolonged use

    Pros: Nice looking. Can turn the back port lights off (but can't turn the glowing white Cisco light off).
    Cons: Gets hot (to me) after prolonged use, so I have a side propped up on a coaster pending buying some padded feet for it. Web interface slower to load than expected.
    Using with my Dell XPS M1530 with Intel 4965AGN wireless card. Foot away from my router I get about 12MB/sec (about 100mbps). Only saving grace is the range appears to be excellent in my 2000 sq ft townhouse. Router is in one corner 2nd-floor bedroom, and even at the furthest point away in my basement I get about 6 MB/s (about 50 Mbps).
    Other Thoughts: Used to stream ISO rips of my legally purchased DVDs & Blu-Rays from my home server to my TVs. DVDs require about 1 MB/s to play without hiccups, which this does fine, but the blu-rays require 5-6 MB/s which this unit can do about 90% of the time. Maybe it's just my approximately 4-year old laptop wireless that can't handle the new speeds?

    Did you try changing any settings like the wireless channel manually? Also, if you haven’t already done so, you could try a firmware update. Lots of the initial kinks are usually ironed out with a firmware update.

  • 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.

  • ITunes won't burn a CD after 10.4.7/6.0.5

    This is an echo of the post, "iTunes won't burn audio or data CDs"
    The subject pretty much says it. My Dual 2.3MHz G5 is a little over a year old. I noticed this yesterday, the first time I've tried burning an audio CD from iTunes since both updates. Whether I select the built-in superdrive or my LaCie FW CDR/DVDR, after clicking "burn CD", iTunes reads the playlist, checks the media, and begins the "initializing disk" task; but right then the iTunes display changes to "canceling disk burn", and displays an error window. The disk seems completely untouched. I seem to be able to burn a CD OK in Finder. I haven't tried making a non-audio CD in iTunes. I have restarted a couple of times, including a shut-down-and-cold-start. I am now officially out of clues.
    Can anyone help? I am Terminal-friendly. TIA...

    Another interesting idea. Didn't seem to do it for me. Went down to 2x, tried both my built-in and my external drives. One change is that I now see the "preparing disc" progress bar before getting the "canceling disc burn..."
    Interesting, to compare with Kevin's, is that if I have a disc already inserted, it ejects and I need to re-insert.
    I might try downgrading to 10.4.6 if I can figure out how to do it, and maybe to iTunes 6.0.4 (if I can find an installer). I'll report any results.
    I sure hope this is some simple bug that gets fixed soon...

  • ITunes won't play one song after another automatically.

    I have an iMac . iTunes has always played one selection after another automatically, and I am not talking about shuffle. I downloaded an audio book (Mp3 files) which loaded into music, but I have to choose each segment manually, it won't play one segment sequentially automatically.

    Are the selections un-checked?  Items that are not checked will not automatically play.  If they are checked, go into Get Info and see if you have the "Skip when shuffling" option set -- if it is, and if you happen to have Shuffle turned on, they won't play.

  • Itunes won't open, music gone after installing ipod/itunes software again

    I was using itunes to purchase music and burn it to cds. I recently got a nano and tried to install the software last night. Now Itunes won't open, and I don't even see any of my downloaded music on my computer. It's possible that it's a problem with my computer, but we're also looking into the issues reported with Norton, etc. I should know more by tonight. My question is how do I get my music back if it was somehow deleted by this process? Obviously I've already purchased it, but I don't remember all the songs and I didn't have a backup.

    You need to search your hard drive(s) and recycle bin for the music files.
    Purchased music will always have a .m4p file extension.
    Without a backup, if the files are gone, the music is gone.

  • ITunes won't recognize iPhone 5 after I attempted to download iOS 7

    I tried to download iOS 7 and I got an error message and iTunes said the update failed. Since that moment, my phone has shown the iTunes logo with the cable, prompting me to plug my phone into my computer and sync it with iTunes. Conveniently enough however, iTunes won't recognize my iPhone when I plug it in, but it will recognize my iPod touch when I plug that in to the computer. I have restarted my computer, reinstalled iTunes numerous times and yet nothing has worked. So essentially I have no ability to restore my phone and no ability access it in any way shape or form.....any help?!

    What version of iTunes are you running?

  • ITunes won't recognize my iPhone after upgrade?

  • ITunes won't install on my Toshiba - it used to have iTunes!

    iTunes won't install. It used to have iTunes, but I cleared it off when I thought I no longer needed the computer (big mistake). Now it's my only computer and I want iTunes back, but when I try to install it it reads "This installation package cannot be installed by the Windows installer package. You must install a Windows service pack that contains a newer version of the Windows Installer Service."
    Now, how do I do that? I tried faffing about with installing this and that yesterday, but none of it seemed to work. I'm a stupid girl with no computer skills - I need definitive instructions!

    Now, see, I did try that. My computer is now happily updating itself where it wasn't before, but still the same message. I also went and searched Google for a 'Windows Service Pack 2', which lead me to the microsoft site, which gave me the option of downloading the service pack. "Oh good!" I thought, "This will be fixed in no time!"
    Wrong.
    I downloaded said service pack, tried to run it and it too decided not to work. It sprung up a message that was something like "There is nothing on your computer that needs this pack" or something like that.
    Is my computer just so old that it's beyond saving? It is far older than a laptop should be, I know. I bought it in 2003. (I'd also like to point out that I'm not daft, I DID have a brand new laptop - which decided it didn't fancy having a working motherboard anymore. Clearly my ancient Toshiba is far more reliable.)

  • Itunes won't recognize iphone 3gs after upgrade to IOS 5

    Backup for Iphone on itunes was made on DELL INSPIRON MINI 10 laptop running XP Professional, Thursday evening 10-13-2011.
    Upgraded Itunes to new system (ios 5) Friday evening 10-14-2011.
    Connected Iphone to laptop Saturday afternoon to sync and upgrade phone to ios 5. after 2 hours phone was wiped clear, and itunes dropped recognition icon from list. several attempts were made to re-sync. all failed, itunes would not recognize. ended up restarting phone and installing upgrade on another computer. Laptop still failed to recognize.
    attempted upgrade to Ipod and it locked up on "Disconnect before removing'. opened Itunes dropdown and selected 'Diagose devise' and was able to restore ipod and sync with itunes. afraid to attempt 'diagnose' with iphone, now that it is working.
    back-up for iphone still appears on itunes,,,, just can't back it up...XP is unable to 'ICloud' and my DELL Window Vista Home Premium won't install updates so ICloud won't load....

    Help please - my computer does not recognize iPhone after upgrading to IOS4 and iTunes 9.2 ---- I have WIndows 7 --- have tried EVERYTHING and still it does not work. I want to do my albums via the computer, not iTunes since it adds the Photo Library folder, which is a duplicate of all my picture folders.
    Does anyone have a real solution please? I have uninstalled, installed, deleted drivers, installed drivers - the computer says the drivers are working, but obviously not.
    When is Apple going to post the solution so that people will know what to do - seems everyone has an idea, but none are working for me and the extra photo folder frankly drivers me crazy ---- something about iPod cache ----- do not want duplicate pictures.
    And, will albums be able to be edited - can these pics not be sent to Facebook.
    I know, several topics ----- what a mess Apple has created with IOS4 and iTunes 9.2. Ready to send the phone back!
