Mac osx 10.6.8 itunes launches automatically and will not respond to quit or force quit

mac osx 10.6.8 itunes launches automatically and will not respond to quit or force quit in the Activities Monitor. When I quit or go into the Activities monitor and try to quit, it goes off, briefly, then immediately relaunches. If i turn the computer off, and then on, iTunes launches automatically. ITunes 10.4. The only thing I remember doing different, lately, is I just updated a couple of days ago. Has anyone else had this issue? Thanks!

My iphone 4 has just switched on vibrate continuously automatically and will not respond to rest or switching off ! Help!

2weeks ago updated my iphone with the latest update and have had nothing but trouble ever since.
I have since trid to restore and update several more times but still with no success.
I have had countless issues with the phone from continuous freezing when trying to open apps, utilise camera, make phone calls, set calendar dates and more!
The latest, this morning, my vibrate alert auromatically switched on and now will not stop!
Its been going for almost an hour and I dont know what to do!
Have hooked up to itunes but itunes is not recognising the phone!
Have continuously tried holding down the start butto and front button to no avail
Help!

I have the same problem, but it happens sometimes. Since I installed iOS 8, I have countless issues, one of them being the automatic on/off of the vibration. It just goes crazy and then restarts. Is this a hardware or software bug?
Thanks,

I recently created an account and bought a movie. But any time I press "Play" iTunes freezes and will not respond at all.

I recently created an account and bought a movie. But any time I press "Play" iTunes freezes and will not respond at all.
I have tried both uninstalling the software and reinstalling it, I have tried to run the software in safemode, and I have tried to change the Quicktime settings to see if that helps.
Nothing has worked. It always does the same thing, where it freezes the moment I tell it to "play".
I have tried to use my other computer instead, going through the same process and I got the exact same result where it freezes.
Therefore it has to be something to do with the software, because the computers use different graphics cards, yet it responds the same.

Hi Canon-Thought!
I have an article here for you that deals with this exact issue. You may have already completed many of the steps that this article will suggest, but look over it to see if it suggests something you haven't already tried:
iTunes for Windows Vista or Windows 7: Troubleshooting unexpected quits, freezes, or launch issues
http://support.apple.com/kb/ts1717
Also, I suggest paying close attention to the list of programs that you would need to uninstall, in order, so that you can fully uninstall iTunes and all related components from your computer. If those programs and steps are not followed exactly, you may end up with issues using iTunes.
If this issue only happens with one singular movie, you may need to report that there is an issue with your purchase. We have an article for doing that, and it can be found here:
How to report an issue with your iTunes Store, App Store, Mac App Store, or iBookstore purchase

IPod Touch will not power up and will not respond to itunes when plugged into a computer

iPod Touch will not power up and will not respond to itunes when plugged to computer, have tried holding both buttons down for 10 secs like support suggest but nothing has happen. Any suggestions?

Try the other actions here:
iOS: Not responding or does not turn on

HT1339 Error: This game cannot be launched. Ipod will not respond

I have an error message on my iPod classic. It states, Error: This game cannot be launched. And now my iPod wheel will not respond. I am unable to shut it down or connect it to my iTunes.

Try a hard reset. This procedure does not erase any content stored on the device. It is similar to rebooting your PC. To reset the iPod, first make sure the hold switch is in the Off position, then press and hold both the Select (Center) and Menu buttons together long enough for the Apple logo to appear.

Mac gets hot then screen go to sleep and will not restart until cools down

Ever since I downloaded Lion on my mac I have noticed when I leave my mac while not using it it gets really warm.Next it goes into sleep mode and will not wake up with a tap of any button so I have to wait for it to cool down to restart.I have read other peoples problems with Lion could this be another glitch with the new operating system download?

I have been getting the black screen after waking. My screen is not set to sleep, so I don't know if it's related. Some discussion of the problem here:

I have a Mac OS X Version 10.4.11 and cannot install Mac OS X Snow Leopard. Install 'stalls' and will not continue. Help!

After resisting an upgrade for the longest time, I had to purchase one to support my new iPhone 4, as my old version would not upgrade my iTunes. Now I cannot get the system to install. It 'stalls' and will not continue. I have tried 3 times [the definition of insanity: repeating the same behavior expecting different results] and each time I had to hard boot to even get the disk to pop out. Help!

Hi there. Thanks for even looking at my question! I am brand new in the community. I finally just gave up and went to bed, leaving it running and my sister watching it. Of course, it did indeed finally install but my gosh! I have NEVER seen something take so long! Thanks again for the email. Linda w/a new OS!

Adobe Reader/MAC will not quit. It says it is printing and is not. There is no "Force Quit" option.

Adobe reader for MAC is locked up. It thinks it is trying to print but nothing is happening. There is no force quit option as with other MAC programs. I cannot restart the computer because Adobe won't quit. I tried moving it to trash and it won't. I tried installing again but installation wants me to quit the currently installed program. I have tried to turn off the computer, but adobe is still locked when I turn it back on. Any ideas how to get around this problem?

Try a DVD Movie, YouTube Video, an Application or Game with sound?
Go to System Preferences > Sound Effects and try selecting some different "alert sounds?
If it is only while using iTunes, check your iTunes volume slider?
If it is system wide, run the Extended Apple Hardware Test to see if it finds a problem with your sound card?

Address Book Opens Automatically and will not close (even with Force Quit)

The address book automatically opens at times and I cannot close it. Even with a force quit, I cannot close it. It takes up over 80% of CPU cycles when it opens automatically. Any thoughts or suggestions?
Thanks

This is happening to me too. Has occurred on MBP 17" about six or seven times over the past couple of weeks. Have not been able to replicate it. But recently suspect that it may be related to auto syncing and/or syncing my iPhone 3G.
Anyone else have an idea?

My new i-Mac OSX 10.8.2 has locked up - it will not let me re install operating system !

My new i-Mac is locked up tight and I can't at this point re-install the operating system. Has this happened to anyone ? Problem started within the first 30 days and now after only 6 weeks, this new computer is un-usable ! The Apple senior advisor on the case is at a loss.... Any suggestions appreciated !

So since it's basically brand new, will they replace it? How (and who) do you initiate getting another one. This one was a "reconditioned" one with same warranty as a new one .

TS1368 Itunes is making my computer run high i cannot connect ot hte itunes store and itunes is frozen and will not do anything. Any suggestions? Thanks!

Itunes is running high and I cannot connect ot the itunes store. Itunes is useless right now. Computer is not infected with anything. Problem is itunes related not third party plug-ins. help please. Thanks!

Close your iTunes,
Go to command Prompt -
(Win 7/Vista) - START/ALL PROGRAMS/ACCESSORIES, right mouse click "Command Prompt", choose "Run as Administrator".
(Win XP SP2 n above) - START/ALL PROGRAMS/ACCESSORIES/Command Prompt
In the "Command Prompt" screen, type in
netsh winsock reset
Hit "ENTER" key
Restart your computer.
If you do get a prompt after restart windows to remap LSP, just click NO.
Now launch your iTunes and see if it is working now.
If you are still having these type of problems after trying the winsock reset, refer to this article to identify which software in your system is inserting LSP:

Trying to update 10.6.3 - iTunes is gone and will not re-load.

Trying to update to version 10.6.3 either by .exe on web site or through automatic update and keep getting an error. "The feature you are trying to use is on a network resource that is unavilable." etc. It lists 2 sources to try to find 'iTunes.msi' and it is not there.
Cannot even start iTunes now. It is totally erased from my system. Help Please
Further to this, when unable to re-load iTunes I get the error message: The older verison of iTunes cannot be removed. Contact your technical support group.
I hope someone out here can be my technical support group.

"The feature you are trying to use is on a network resource that is unavilable." etc. It lists 2 sources to try to find 'iTunes.msi' and it is not there.
(1) Download the Windows Installer CleanUp utility installer file (msicuu2.exe) from the following Major Geeks page (use one of the links under the 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?

Downloading a tv episode causes iTunes to wait and will not finish download

I purchased the complete season 1 & 2 of Game of Thrones which came with a digital download. I have downloaded all but one episode of season 1 and all but one episode of season 2 BECAUSE the download for both goes into a perpetual wait condition. Both downloads have stalled at 1.8 mB of 2.22 gB and 2.18 gB. Any suggested fixes? I am running Mavericks and i tunes 11.1.3.

I have done all of these things multiple times, at least twice before I opened the Help Desk Ticket. No change after doing the process.
This was a reply to an earlier "Help Desk" person
Yousuff,
I followed your instructions to no success. The exact same two episodes refuse to download, with the exact same conditions I reported. I do IT for a NASA contractor so I understand the support process companies use & getting through the beginning troubleshooting process for remote users, so let's move on.
1) I don't see the issue as related to downloads being enabled or marked finished 38 other items successfully came down before & after my initial issue.
2) The problem is repeatable with the exact same results.
3) My machine has been shutdown since yesterday morning. I booted it, launched iTunes & am now in the same state as before, both episodes stuck @ 1.8 mB in the download & it will stay in this state until I restart iTunes, now matter how long I wait.
4) My machine is running Mavericks & iTunes is 11.1.3 (8). Our internet provider is Comcast. My mini is on a wired network.

Good day all, I am new to Mac. Just at a time when I am in the middle of something, my Mac will just prompt me to shut down and restart again. The computer will just freeze, and will not respond unless it is shut down and restarted. Is that how it works

Good day all,
I am new to Mac. Just want to find out if your Macs always prompt you to shut down and restart. Mine happens very often sometimes, and it can be very embarrassing, especially just when you think you are almost done with what you are doing, only for you start all over again. Or, is there anything I am doing wrong, somebody please help, Thanks.
Francis.
