Itunes wont quit.

i decided to change my itunes toolbar icon, and in doing so i some how created two versions of it or something. any way, i didn't really care, as it worked fine for a few months until i opened itunes to play some music, and the icon had that dot under it to say it was open, and activity moniter and force quit apps said it was, but i couldn't open or force quit it. i had to use the other itunes- the one without the changed icon, but the other one is still open. i have quit itunes in terminal, but it just quit one of them. any help?

Do you mean the iTunes icon in the Dock? You should hold the cursor on the icon and choose Options > Remove from Dock. Then reinstall iTunes. Go to iTunes at the top of this page and download and install. You won't lose any data.

Itunes wont quit on mac and cannot browse any apps or window

Hi,. I was just listening to my songs,. Then suddenly when I'm trying to exit my itunes, it won't quit. Everytime I try to restart my computer, my itunes keeps coming back, and I cannot use any of my applications, click any icons or open any windows on my mac, Help, I dont know what to do,

OS X Lion and Mountain Lion automatically opens the apps that were opened the next time you start up your Mac. First, press Alt, Command and Esc keys, choose iTunes and force close it.
If this doesn't work, turn off your Mac and turn it on while holding down the Shift key. By doing this, it will start up in safe mode. Then, log in, open System Preferences > Users & Groups > Login Items, and make sure iTunes is not in the list. If it is, delete it. Finally, restart the computer

Itunes wont quit after 10.7.3 update

Hello
After updating my Macbook air to 10.7.3 my iTunes (10.5.3) will now not quit. It works fine and starts fine but when i try and quit i get the beachball of death. I have to then force quit it.
I have repaired disk permissions.
Cheers

I finally backed off 10.7.3 back to 10.7.2. Itunes still was misbehaving though like this and I started getting your stuff is not authorized when syncing iOS devices this morning. I think there are probably several things going on from what i read. I was not having problem with 10.5.3 before the 10.7.3 update however. Not sure how all figures in but it did. But as day has gone on I look back at my Pro via screen sharing and the syncing of one iPad sitting there wirelessly now works fine (after initial attempt with errors, authorization issues and such) so it seems to be smoothing out but time will tell. I think I am going to wait to see how this all pans out before I attempt 10.7.3 again. Maybe a fix on it and a 10.5.4 itunes fix may help once apple figures out issues people are having?

Itunes Wont Open!!!Error -50

My Itunes wont open ever since i upgraded to 6.0.before that everything worked fine.ive tried many of the techniques and none have worked.plz help me!!!

hmmm. okay, if you're currently just getting the "itunes has encountered an error ..." let's try the following technique.
preliminaries
download and save a fresh copy of the itunes 6.0.1.3 installer to your hard drive. (eventually we're going to run the install from there rather than online.)
iTunes 6.0.1.3 Installer
switch off any antivirus and antispyware applications prior to any uninstalls, installs or repair installs.
uninstall
use the complete uninstall instructions given in the following document to remove your existing itunes and quicktime:
Troubleshooting iTunes, iPod Software, and QuickTime installation on Windows
... and if you run into problems on the uninstall, try using the Installer Cleanup utility:
Description of the Windows Installer CleanUp Utility
reboot after uninstalling.
reinstall
remember to switch off your antivirus and antispyware.
reinstall itunes using the 6.0.1.3 installer you downloaded previously.
if you get the "itunes has encountered a problem ..." error message again after that install, first check to see if your Quicktime will launch. if you get an error message when you try to launch quicktime, try using the following technique:
iTunes 6 for Windows unexpectedly quits when opened
keep us posted on your progress.

You did not indicate the name(s) of the automatic Software Update. Was it just an iTunes update?
Run the Repair Permissions (Applications/Utilities/Disk Utility) then Restart your computer. Relaunch iTunes.
If iTunes fails to open, disconnect any Firewire/USB peripherals (except Mouse) and reinstall that same version from the Apple Downloads Website, then repeat the above Repair and Restart.

Itunes wont import songs to a playlist

I have a very weird problem in itunes 10 that just started. I am still operating under os10.6.8. i try to drag songs from a folder into a playlist i create. the first time i do this there is no problem. The second time i try with another batch of songs the little window comes up that shows that they are procesing but nothing happens in the window at the top of itunes. the tunes remain light grey with the little circle and arrows next to them. when i quit itunes it wont quit. i have to force quit. i reopen it and the first batch of sings works ok and then here we go again with batch number 2. these are normal mp3 files from another folder on my desktop. this is very annoying. does anyone have any suggestions please?

I am experiencing the same frustration. I think this is a major nav problem.

Itunes wont update, uninstall or reinstall

so everything was fine, i had my iphone 4s and my sony vaoi laptop and then one day it tells me to update my itunes. so thats what i did, it was running the install and then a error came up saying that 'The feature you are trying to use is on a network resource that it unavailable' then underneath it gave me the option to go browse for where it was. it seemed to have disappeared only when the installation came about because when i quit it i found it in the exact same place that i looked when it gave me the option to 'browse'. for a month this was going on and i tried to fix it every time it offered me the installation but then it said my iphone couldnt connect to itunes anymore because itunes is not updated but how the heck do they expect me to upddate it when it just disappears?! i havent been able to update music on my phone anymore which is very annoying because that is one of the main reasons i got my iphone4s. then i looked up my problem on the internet and this person gave me a link and said uninstall itunes and reinstall it. it was called 'revo pro uninstaller' i thought it was going to work because it said it had uninstall everything to do with apple so i shut down my laptop to leave it rest. i opened it up the following day and there apple was again. for days i tried to uninstall everything to do with apple but it just wont go away. the same message as 'The feature you are trying to use is on a network resource that it unavailable' then underneath it gave me the option to go browse for where it was' and then it said 'the older version of itunes wont uninstall please contact your technical support group' when i tried to uninstall it or reinstall it on my laptop. to be honest apple, samsung are looking alot of a heck better. i have never been so annoyed with a company in my life. please get your act together.

(1) Download the Windows Installer CleanUp utility installer file (msicuu2.exe) from the following Major Geeks page (use one of the links under the "DOWNLOAD LOCATIONS" thingy on the Major Geeks page):
http://majorgeeks.com/download.php?det=4459
(2) Doubleclick the msicuu2.exe file and follow the prompts to install the Windows Installer CleanUp utility. (If you're on a Windows Vista or Windows 7 system and you get a Code 800A0046 error message when doubleclicking the msicuu2.exe file, try instead right-clicking on the msicuu2.exe file and selecting "Run as administrator".)
(3) In your Start menu click All Programs and then click Windows Install Clean Up. The Windows Installer CleanUp utility window appears, listing software that is currently installed on your computer.
(4) In the list of programs that appears in CleanUp, select any iTunes entries and click "Remove", as per the following screenshot:
(5) Quit out of CleanUp, restart the PC and try another iTunes install. Does it go through properly this time?

My iTunes wont close and is preventing my laptop from shutting down

I plugged out my iPod touch when iTunes was asking me whether I wanted an update or not, and now iTunes wont close and has frozen, preventing my laptop from shutting down. I have intel Celeron inside and Windows 7.

Mail is open but it is frozen, being this the reason why you cannot open the Mail window. Press Alt, Command and Esc keys or go to  > Force Quit, select Mail and force quit it. Finally, you will be able to turn off or restart the MacBook

Itunes wont open after snow lep upgrade

upgraded to snow lep. went through all software updates rebooted multiple times. Itunes wont launch, when I double click it gives me an unexpextedly quit window, downloaded itunesx reinstalled....nothing...........so an apple app, doesnt play well with an apple os?

It is likely an issue with the iTunes Library file.
You can rebuild it by following this article:
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1451
If you rebuild the library, it should take care of the problem. I would make sure you have a Time Machine backup before starting any major task, just in case something wrong happens. Better safe, than sorry.

I did notice a previous thread and looked in the sysWOW64 folder and there are no Quicktime folders in there so not sure if thats right or not :/

Fault Module Name:          QuickTime.qts_unloaded
Fault Module Version:          0.0.0.0
Interesting. I think an iTunes version 10.5.x ought to be able to launch without having a QuickTime.qts on the system. So the problem report might be lying to us in this instance.
It might be best to swing into general principles mode and try working through the following document:
