Latest upgrade of itunes doesn't start up more than once per boot.

Since the latest upgrade (can't tell what version without rebooting my laptop), iTunes will only start up once per uptime session. If I plug in my iPod Touch, it will start up automatically just once, or if I start by selecting the Start Menu item to run iTunes, it will only start up once. After iTunes is closed, I must reboot the PC if I want to use iTunes. This is with Win7, but it takes me back to the early days of Win95 or ME - ahhh what memories! I'm glad that I can look at that as being in the past, but when it happens right now, I'm not particularly glad.
I can see that the iTunes Helper is running, and even iTunes.exe is running, but there's no program window visible, no icon in the tray... it's not running as far as I can see, and it's not very useful in that state. I can't see any way other than this of letting Apple know that they've trashed the new version of iTunes as far as my computer is concerned. It's just rather unhandy to have to reboot each time after I've finished using iTUnes. As a friend of mine used to say, there's nothing so unhandy as a handy thing that doesn't work...
Help?
Blessings,
Duff

And that's true for the latest version as well - no change. The process never goes away after I close iTunes - it just hangs around slowly getting bigger and bigger memory-wise. Plug in my iPod Touch, and nothing happens - no synch, nothing. If I kill off the process, then plug in the iPod, iTunes does start up, but it just hangs there, and never becomes truly running and useful. So, I don't know what "fix" broke my iTunes, but it's still requiring a reboot to get it working after it's been used once and closed. At least Win 7 boots pretty quickly on my laptop...

    Every time I switch on the iPhone, the iTunes icon is displayed together with a USB icon and Emergency call message appears on the screen in many languages. When I touch the i symbol I get the following information IMEI: **** AND ICCID: ****
    However, the iphone is visible in the Devices directory in iTunes. I changed my SIM card but still can not be recognized by the iPhone.

    Do you mean when you say its locked to another carrier other then the one im using, that maybe my insurance sent me an iphone thats for a different network for example orange and not mine which is o2?

  • ITunes Rentals - can you watch more than once???

    Hi,
    Can you watch an iTunes rental as many times as you like within the 24 hours from first watching it?
    Does the same apply to rentals via AppleTV?
    And can you watch it on different devices - for example, watch it on an iPod after watching it on AppleTV?
    Cheers

    the rental policy is the same
    Cheers

    if you rent the movie in itunes on a pc/mac then you can move it to other devices. if you rent the movie on the appletv then i cannot be moved anywhere.
    So if I buy a TV episode, a movie or a song via AppleTV, does that mean I cannot move it to my Mac for storage?
    Or will is that only for rentals?

  • Just installed the latest upgrade for iTunes. Cannot open iTunes store?

    Just installed the latest upgrade for iTunes. Cannot open iTunes store?

    Hey there Ray Neilson,
    It sounds like you are able to open iTunes but cannot access the store. I recommend the troubleshooting from the article named:
    Can't connect to the iTunes Store
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ts1368
    Troubleshoot issues in Windows
    If you haven't been able to connect to the iTunes Store for more than a day (and other customers on our discussion boards aren't experiencing similar issues) a software or Internet service provider (ISP) configuration issue may be blocking your access to the iTunes Store. Find out which ports and servers need to be allowed for iTunes Store access.
    Update iTunes to the latest version.
    If iTunes Store appears empty and only displays the message iTunes Store, follow these steps.
    Try the steps to troubleshoot iTunes Store connectivity in Windows.
    As with all firewalls not manufactured by Apple, you may need to configure Windows Firewall to allow iTunes to access the iTunes Store. Follow these steps for Windows XP, Windows Vista, and Windows 7.
    Try disabling any proxies built-in to Windows. You should avoid proxies because they can cause issues.
    If you're receiving a specific error message, follow these steps.
    If the issue still persists, contact your Internet service provider and confirm that these ports and servers are enabled over your network.
    Note: The hosts file may be blocking the iTunes Store.Microsoft's article How do I reset the hosts file back to the default? has instructions and a FixIt to have Windows try to reset the hosts defaults for you.Note: Some workplaces may put internal resources in the hosts file and may block iTunes Store. The FixIt doesn't work for Windows 8.To create a copy of your hosts file and replace it with an empty hosts file, follow the instructions below:
    You can find the hosts file at: C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM32\DRIVERS\ETC.
    Select the hosts file. There should now be a duplicate of the hosts file named "Copy of hosts" (Windows XP) or "hosts-copy" (Windows Vista, Windows 7, or Windows 8).
    Drag the original hosts file to your desktop.
    Right-click the duplicate file and choose Open. You may be prompted to choose the program you want to use to open this file. Double-click Notepad.
    When Notepad opens, choose Edit > Select All.
    Choose Edit > Delete.
    Choose File > Save.
    Close Notepad.
    Right-click the duplicate file, and choose Rename.
    Type "hosts" (without quotation marks) and press Enter.
    Restart your computer and try connecting to the iTunes Store.
     If you still can't connect to the iTunes Store, your security software or firewall may be blocking the ability of iTunes to communicate with the Internet. Learn how to resolve security software issues.
    If the issue persists, try the troubleshooting in this article:

  • ITunes doesn't open any more

    My iTunes doesn't open any more all of a sudden, though Task Manager has listed it in "Processes". Quicktime and everything else works, though.
    I've tried de-installing and re-installing serveral times.. Even older Versions (iTunes 10.5) won't work.
    Can you tell me what to do?
    Fyi: I'm using Windows 7 and iTunes version 10.7.
    Thank you!

  • IDVD doesn't start any more

    Hello and help!!!
    iDVD doesn't start any more.
    On the 20th of March my iDVD 4.0.1 worked as well as allways but on the 21/3 it any longer did not start. I tryed starting it from iMovie such as I used it on the 20/3 and it does not start either.
    I ask if it can to be an acceptable attempt of solution, to drag the aplicacion iDVD into the wastebasket, to install it again from the cd's that come with the computer and finally to update it with the revision 4.0.1
    Can be any relation with the version of QuickTime?
    Thanks,
    Joan
    iBook G4   Mac OS X (10.3.9)   1.25 GB of RAM and QuickTime 7.0.1

    If it were me, I would downgrade QT from v7 back to v6.x.x as that is the stable version to use with OS 10.3.9.
    In addition, I would run the list of maintenance applications found in this post (or ones like them)...

  • Error: An attribute cannot appear more than once in the same start tag

    Hi Everyone,
    when i run the page sometimes it works fine but sometimes it throws Compilation Error as below.
    "Error(502,1224): file:/C:/Jdeveloper/jdevhome/jdev/myhtml/OA_HTML/fwk/t/Session_2055663493/region1.uix<Line 502, Column 1224>: XML-20124: (Fatal Error) An attribute cannot appear more than once in the same start tag."
    And i delete the particular file from the path and run the page so this time it works fine.
    But later after sometime i get the same error but the session number will be changed, then again i need to delete it and run.
    What can be the permanent solution for this issue?
    Plz let me know any suggetions.
    Thanks.

    Seems like the mdl file is corrupted or was not generated correctly.

    Backup and restore your software via iTunes. If the problem continues, restore as a NEW device. If this solves it, that means there is some corruption in your backup file. If the problem is still there, you should take it to the Genius Bar at an Apple Store for evaluation.

  • Continual request to upgrade. even though I have gon thru process more than once

    Over the last few weeks I have been continually ask to upgrade to the latest version. I have done this more than once. just a few days ago and I am still getting request..Whts up?

    If there are problems with updating or with the permissions then easiest is to download the full version and trash the currently installed version to do a clean install of the new version.
    Download a new copy of the Firefox program and save the disk image (dmg) file to the desktop
    You can find the latest Firefox releases here:
    *Firefox 8.0.x: http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all.html
    *Firefox 3.6.x: http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all-older.html
    *Trash the current Firefox application to do a clean (re-)install
    *Install the new version that you have downloaded
    Your profile data is stored elsewhere in the Firefox Profile Folder, so you won't lose your bookmarks and other personal data if you uninstall and (re)install Firefox.
