ITunes wont shut down

Sometimes, especially after a long session using my iTunes, it continues to function but wont shut-down when I try to close it. The only way to close it is to initiate the task manager and shut it down via override.
Is there a fix needed for this problem?
Does it signify a more serious problem?

i have the same problem and it is really annoying. i want apple to fix it but i have delt with it for almost two years now.

  • Accessing iTunes Store keeps causing my iTunes to shut down on PC

    I have just installed an upgrade on my PC to Windows 8.1. While iTunes seems to be working, when I click on the Store menu it causes iTunes to shut down. I can access iTunes on my devices. Is anyone else having this problem? I've also tried reinstalling iTunes on my PC but it is not resolving the issue.

    For general advice see Troubleshooting issues with iTunes for Windows updates.
    The steps in the second box are a guide to removing everything related to iTunes and then rebuilding it which is often a good starting point unless the symptoms indicate a more specific approach. Review the other boxes and the list of support documents further down the page in case one of them applies.
    Your library should be unaffected by these steps but there is backup and recovery advice elsewhere in the user tip.
    If you've already tried something like the above then try opening iTunes in safe mode (press and hold down CTRL+SHIFT as you start iTunes) then going to Edit > Preferences > Store and turning off Show iTunes in the Cloud Purchases. You may find that iTunes opens normally now.

  • EXTERNAL HD WONT SHUT DOWN AFTER SHUTTING DOWN LOGIC ,HELP

    When Im done recording in logic and after I close down the session and shut logic down. I then try to shut down my external HD and I get a message saying " LOGIC IS STILL IN USE AND EXTERNAL HD CAN NOT BE SHUT DOWN, TRY QUITTING APPLICATIONS AND THEN SHUT DOWN" Logic is already shut down and there are no other applications running and it wont let me shut down my external HD. I tried to switch HD's and it still wont shut down after I close all applications. PLEASE HELP....
    Message was edited by: philip j

    When you say shut down, you mean "eject" right?
    Will it, incidently, eject during a session when you haven't used Logic at all?
    One thing you should make sure of with your external HD is that it is formatted correctly - it needs to "un" journalled... may not be the problem, but worth checking.
    What kind of external HD is it?

  • Netbook NB305 Wont shut down.

    I have had my net book for about 2 weeks and it now will not shut down. I can put it to sleep or hibernation but it wont shut down or restart. Cntl/alt/del wont work either, so I dont seem to be able to shut it down, either with or without the ac cord attached. I have run a virus check and there is nothing wrong.

    Hi
    What happens if you go to start -> shutdown? Do you get any error messages?
    Maybe there are some different processes running in the OS background which prevents the OS from shutdown.
    I would go to msconfig and would check the startup tab.
    There you can find some apps which would be loaded while booting up the unit
    Maybe its just a OS issue
    The other solution proposal; try a system reinstallation. Maybe this is a option for you

  • Macbook pro wont shut down without holding the power button nor cycle for updates to restart.

    macbook pro wont shut down without holding the power button nor cycle for updates to restart

    Sorry I said sorta wrong. I can shut down and I can update to the point of restart but it just sat for 45 minutes after an update. It goes through the update and to restart then the bars chase each other in a circle and it never restarts. So I hit the power button and go through normal reboot but loosing the update in the process. It does not matter how long I wait for a natural reboot after an update or click to restart it will chase the little bar in circles all day literally and never reboot.

  • Itunes is shutting down on my computer

    For the past few weeks, since I got my ipod touch, whenever I add 2 or 3 songs, or try to edit songs in itunes, it shuts down with the message "itunes has encountered a problem and needs to close." How can I fix this. I ran a diagnostic test, and it came back good. When I had my nano, this never happened. Please point me in the right direction.

    Can anyone help?

  • Itunes randomly shuts down while updating ipod

    After i plug in my Video Ipod to my computer, Itunes recognizes it and begins to Update. After around 20-30 seconds of "updating" A window pops up saying..
    " iTunes has encoutered a problem and needs to close. We are sorry for the inconcenience.
    If you were in the middle of something, the information you were working on might be lost"...and so on
    At first i thought there was a problem with iTunes, so i tried updating my Nano..and THAT WORKED!
    So then once again i kept trying to update my Video ipod..but the same problem kept happening ( iTunes would shut down )..I thought if i restored my Video Ipod then it would work. However when i restored it and tried to Update it, iTunes would shut down again while its updating.
    now, all the songs on my video ipod are deleted and i can not get the songs back on it.

    I ended up just redownloading iTunes 6 and it works now. No word on how to actually solve my problem via iTunes 7.
