ITunes won't stay closed

Pretty much what the subject says. I close iTunes, and 10(ish) seconds later it just opens up again on its own. I'm not doing anything with it (that I know of), but it just refuses to quit. Input? Thanks!

The latter is supposed to be there - I think it lets iTunes run faster (I saw it on Windows, too, when I used it). As for the iPod thing, I don't know whether or not that is true, but if it has been reported you should try it too. If the setting is on, turn it off, click Apply, and then reproduce your problem.

  • Itunes won't stay closed and keeps opening itself

    Can you help me

    I've seen one report of that happening for a person because EyeTV was set to open iTunes when an export was finished.
    Could you have some application set to start iTunes after a task is completed?

  • New Pioneer DVR-110 installed, "patchburned", BUT drive won't stay closed.

    Have had some good advice on how to intall a new DVD/CD drive, but after installing a New Pioneer DVR-110 (I thought succesfully) on my G4, and downloading Patchburn for Panther, the DVD drive now won't function as the computer keeps ejecting or opening the drive tray.
    After installing the drive, I installed Patchburn, and Toast did recognize the drive. I then tried to verify disc permissions on the computer and it kept getting hung up during repair/verify saying it lost connection with the drive manager. Tried Onyx to repair/verify permissions and it too gets hung up. (Had to force quit)
    Any advice on how to get the drawer of the DVD drive to stay closed and what else I need to do to get it working?... Alas I can not even reinstall my original OSX software now as I can't boot from the disc drive since it won't stay closed.
    Thanks, Rob

    You can verify the closeness by opening the empty drive door with the KB and then hold the door open and close drawer with the KB.

  • PB G4 Display Won't Stay Closed

    The display on my PB G4 won't stay closed. There seems to be something wrong with the latch, as it won't catch (or stay caught) when the display is closed. Any thoughts on how to fix this annoyance?
    Thanks.

    Two inches of duct tape or a large rubber band make a pretty effective low-cost fix, but you can also replace the latch assembly — for a hefty price:

    Note that these instructions apply to the Ti DVI models. you don't say which Tibook you have.
    To keep your PB from waking when it opens (it waits until you hit any key), follow these steps:
    To set PB so opening the display doesn't wake the computer:
    Applications > Utilities > Terminal
    Type or paste the following in the Terminal window:
    sudo pmset lidwake 0
    It will ask for your password. Type that in, hit return, and quit the Terminal.
    To change it back so the system wakes when you open the lid, type:
    sudo pmset lidwake 1
    Thanks to Deegan for the tip.

  • Collection folder won't stay closed

    I have a Collection set (with nested sub-collections) which won't stay closed. I click the twistie to collapse it, and one second later, it opens again.
    Has anyone else seen this behavior, or have any insight into its cause?

    Usually caused by a sub-collection (or sub-folder) being 'selected' ... 'select' a different collection/folder, and then it should work

  • CD drawer won't stay closed. MacPro 2010. OS 10.8.2

    CD drawer won't stay closed. MacPro 2010. OS 10.8.2
    I restarted with the drawer closed (before it opened again) and the drawer did not open after restart. I reopened drawer and again, it will not stay closed.
    Any ideas?

    Many thanks for your reply. I don't know what I did last nite. I pushed in the drawer and restarted at least twice. Eventually it stayed in. I put in a CD and burned it using Roxio Toast and all went well.
    I have not tried to burn another this AM..
    Thanks again. Trial & error, esp. error!

  • Lid won't stay closed

    The lid on my 15" MBP won't stay closed. It's out of warranty, so I'm looking for something other than "take it to the dealer."

    Hi artwar24,
    It looks like you are running Panther, so you may be out of warranty. If you are and don't have AppleCare, you might try this little procedure I have used successfully for a few years.
    Caveat, this is not for the feint of heart, but with your book at eye level, sight from the side as you slowly close it. This should give you an idea as to which direction the clasp needs to be tweaked. The tension that holds the lid in place tends to tweak it out of alignment over time as it opens and closes.
    Sometimes on mine, with the lid almost closed, I’ll hold the bottom portion with one palm on the front center and exert side pressure toward the front with the other palm. This may fix it.
    Or, before the clasp catches but after it drops, hold it down with a thin object, like a popsicle stick or Q-tip. This will allow you open the lid back up so that you’ll have some working room. Then with thumb and/or forefinger, apply pressure in the direction you feel it needs to go. After a bit, you will get a feel for it.

    I have the same problem. This problem has shown up and gone away many times over the last couple of years. Its the main reason that I rarely use iTunes.
    Have you found a solution? I'm tired of buying MP3s from iTunes and playing them in Windows Media Player

  • Combo drive suddenly won't stay closed, how do I fix this?

    Hello,
    today, my combo drive suddenly came open and won't stay closed anymore. If I push the close button it closes, and then just opens again. I have tried repairing my disk and reinstalling OSX, I even tried a different keyboard in case the eject key was sticking. I can't figure out what is wrong. Is the drive bad? Can I get a replacement drive that I can install myself if this is the problem?
    Thanks for you help.

    Had the same problem (as have a LOT of others).
    Took the following action which (knock on wood) seems to have solved it!
    Plug in iPhone; when Sync starts, click on "iPhone" under Devices; click on "Summary" page; under Options at the bottom of the page, uncheck "Sync wiyh this iPhone over ..."; click apply; exit after sync is complete......my problem disappeared!
    Note: if the box is already unchecked, try checking it; apply; uncheck; apply
    Good luck!

  • MBP SR display latch won't stay closed

    The latch on my new MBP won't stay closed, and the screen won't latch at all or continually pops open. This can be a real pan when the computer is on sleep. Anyone else experience this? Is there an easy fix, short of sending the MBP off for service?
    Thanks.

  • Itunes won't stay open.

    I recently just updated my Macbook Pro (older version from 2010, 10.6.8), including Itunes. Now I tunes won't stay open. Whenever I click on the icon to start It flashes open but then closes immediately. I recently had my hard drive wiped because of a problem so if that could be a contributing factor I don't know. Itunes was working fine before the update.

  • ITunes will not stay closed

    I have been having a problem for a few months that I cannot get iTunes to stay closed. When I try and close iTunes, it immediately reopens. This means that I cannot shut down OSX since iTunes always reopens and cancels the restart.
    I have searched the net and have not found a answer to this. I do not have the iTunes widget running. I check application monitor and itunes helper is not running. I realize that something is keeping it open but I cannot figure what that is. Is there a log or anyway to find out what keeps open iTunes?
    Thanks in advance for any help.

    I have srs iwow, LastFM & Growl. I have killed all of these and continue to have the problem. (Unless they are hanging around. I have boot with both LastFM & Growl completed turned off and the problem still shows itself.
    I should also mention that my itunes now has the spinning beach ball of death quite often. It always comes out of it but at times it takes minuets to complete simple tasks.
    Thanks.

  • Won't stay closed

    My PowerBook has never closed lightly - which I know is not uncommon - but now it won't remain closed without coaxing. Pressing on the lid and it springs open. Other times it pops open on its own. Suggestions?

    I had the same problem where the latch simply stopped "catching" when you close the lid. It had NOT been dropped or otherwise damaged, it just stopped catching when closed. My PowerBook was about 2 years old when this started happening, but I had the AppleCare protection plan which covers it for 3 years. I called Apple on the phone and they estimated that it was not covered by warranty and would cost $600+ to fix. I then took it into the Apple retail store and explained my problem and they confirmed that it was NOT due to any damage to the PowerBook caused by me and sent it off for me for a free repair (covered under the AppleCare warranty). It came back 3 days later repaired and free of charge.

  • Panel bin won't stay closed

    hi all -
    I upgraded from 7 to 9 mainly because 7 developed lots of technical flaws.  For right now, I want the good things about 7 to be carried forward into 9.  I haven't delved into what's new in PSE 9.   So I suspect I'll be posting a lot of these rather trivial questions.
    At the right side of the Editor screen there is the "panel bin," (containing the efffects, layers, etc.)  In PSE 7 I closed it (by clicking on a little arrow right on the border between the bin and the workspace).  That was my default, and I opened it up when i needed it.
    With PSE 9, I've been having to close it each and every time I load the work space, and now the closing is done by Window>panel bin.  So it seems that having an open panel bin is now the default.
    What am I missing?  How can I close the panel and have it stay closed until I need it?

    Hi,
    Try this.
    With the panel open, click on the three dots at the middle of the line separating the panel from the thumbnails - that should close the panel to the right side. I think it should stay closed until you next click on the three dots to open the panel.
    Good luck
    Brian
    oops sorry, that was for the organizer and you wanted the editor
    In the Editor, the tab key can be used to close/open the panel.

  • PowerBook won't stay closed!

    My girlfriend's 12" PowerBook G4 will not stay closed. There is nothing wrong with the latch - the latch activates just fine and keeps the lid closed to the unit. However, it doesn't close enough - the screen will remain on and the unit will not go to sleep unless we put something on top of it (like a remote control, etc.).
    Does anybody have any suggestions to fix this problem?

    Is the Powerbook still covered under AppleCare Warranty? If it is, I would suggest you call them, to have them take care of this issue.
    If you have to put a book on top, to make it go to sleep, there is a pretty serious issue, in my opinion. Has it been dropped or damaged?
    Hope it gets fixed soon!
