My iTunes 10.5 restarts immediately after I quit the program. How can I fix this?

It is very frustrating. I quit iTunes and it starts back up seconds later. It seems after I quit it 10 or more times, it will finally stop restarting. To my knowledge, this has only been occuring over the past few weeks and I'm pretty certain is was about the time I last updated iTunes. Maybe it's a coincidence and something else is to blame?
After searching this community, I found someone who had a problem like this on his Mac back in 2009 that turned out to be a third party widget he was running. I do not use any third party music related stuff on my PC (not a Mac). The only other music-related software I have is Spotify and Windows Media Player and they do not appear to interact with iTunes. I do not have any iDevice's (like an iPod or iPad) continuously hooked up that might be causing it to restart like this. I'm not wirelessly syncing my iDevices either.
I'm at a loss for what to do. I now have to decide if I really need to use iTunes at a particular moment, because I know I'll have to close the program up to ten times to get it to stay closed. Is this a known bug? Any solutions? I would rather not leave iTunes running in my system tray all day long and tie up resources.

  • Im trying to download the newest version of itunes but it keeps saying "The older version of apple software update cannot be removed." and wont let me finish the download, how can I fix this?

    It keeps doing it over and over again, how can I fix this?

    Download the Windows Installer CleanUp utility from the following page (use one of the links under the "DOWNLOAD LOCATIONS" thingy on the Major Geeks page):
    http://majorgeeks.com/download.php?det=4459
    To install the utility, doubleclick the msicuu2.exe file you downloaded.
    Now run the utility ("Start > All Programs > Windows Install Clean Up"). In the list of programs that appears in CleanUp, select any Apple Software Update entries and click "Remove", as per the following screenshot:
    Quit out of CleanUp, restart the PC and try another iTunes install using an iTunesSetup.exe (or iTunes64Setup.exe) downloaded from the Apple Website:
    http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
    Does it go through properly this time?

  • No exterior sound after IOS 7 upgrade. How can I fix this?

    No exterior sound on iPhone after installing IOS7 upgrade. How can I fix it?

    You can try resetting your iPhone by simultaneously pressing and holding the Home and Sleep/Wake buttons until you see the Apple Logo. This can take up to 15 seconds so be patient and don't release the buttons until the logo appears.
    Try again to see if the problem persists.

  • PC is recognizing iPod but iTunes isn't after most recent update. How can I fix this?

    My iTunes updated days ago and after that my 4th generation iPod Touch couldn't be recognized on iTunes but my PC can recognize and it sees that it is an iPod Touch. I read on another forum post that stated if I renamed my iPod Touch to something else but I couldn't rename it. Has anyone had this issue?

  • "iTunes cannot read the contents of the ipod", How can I fix this?

    Hello everyone, I am having trouble with my iPod touch 32GB and getting iTunes to detect it. I'm using Windows 7.
    When plugging it in tonight, I got the message "iTunes cannot read the contents of the iPod (Name). Go to the summary tab in the iPod preferences and click restore to restore this iPod to factory settings". I attemped to do this, but I then got an iTunes error "3184" and was unable to install the iPod software.
    I've tried...
    - Using a different computer
    - Using a different USB cable
    - Rebooting the iPod
    Nothing seems to work. I've read a solution as to delete one of the iTunes files on the iPod, but the iPod doesn't show up in my Windows Explorer, so I am unable to do this. The computer does however charge the battery when I have the iPod plugged in. I'm also able to still listen to music on the iPod as well.
    One other note, I had the same thing happen to my previous iPod touch. I got my original iPod touch back in December 2010. In October 2011, the iPod just died one day and I was not able to turn it on at all or charge it. When I'd plug it into the computer, I got the exact same errors and was unable to restore the iPod. I sent it in to Apple as it was still under warrenty and they sent me a replacement. Now 3 months later it's happened again. Of course the warrenty starts from the day you purchase the original, so this is no longer under warrenty despite having it for only 3 months. The only difference this time is that the battery still charges and I can still turn it on and listen to music.
    Any ideas?
    Thanks

    How can I make Air Play on my windows 7?

    Hello Raag Thaal,
    I would be concerned too if my music didn't playback in iTunes.  I found an article that specifically addresses issues with the music not playing and the playhead not progressing in iTunes.  I recommend following the steps in the article below:

  • TS1398 I still can't update my apps. Continues to say cannot connect to ITunes store. Everything else using Internet works fine. How can I fix this?

    I need help. I cant update my apps because of I cannot connect to iTunes store. I have tried all suggestions with no success.  

    Ok, I found a solution that worked for me when trying to connect to the iTunes store by tapping the "update" button in the "App Store" app on my iPad 2. Before the solution was implemented I'd always get the error message "cannot connect to iTunes store". Once the solution was implemented I now can connect to iTunes using the "update" button in the "App Store" app and I get the normal message "All apps are up to date". The solution is this:  go into Settings, then General, then scroll to the bottom where it says Date and Time. Tap Date and Time and then turn OFF Set Automatically. When you do that a new option will be added that says Set Date and Time. Tap it. You'll now get a drop down feature. Set the Date AHEAD 2 YEARS. The Time you can leave alone.
    Once you do that you might get a bunch of reminders and messages that your apps and stuff haven't been updated in two years. Click cancel or close on each of those messages or reminders. Now go back into Settings, General, Date and Time, and turn Set Automatically back to ON. Reboot your iPad. Open the App Store app again and go to the Update button. It might ask you to log back in to your iTunes account. It should now work. If not, close the App Store app completely and open again and try the update button. Hope this helps.

  • After updating my iMac to 10.9.2 it has deleted my excel and word, plus I can no longer connect my Epson printer, I can't even reload it with the disc, how can I fix this?

    We updated our computer a while back to 10.9.2, but once it was complete we no longer use excel or word as the files were missing for them, plus our epson printer wouldn't work, it said something like the files for this printer could not be found, we tried to reload the printer using the disc as the printer was less than a year old but the computer would not load it probably, I called epson and they replied that there was a problem with the update and has done something to the mac driver, has anyone else had a problem with this update? and can it be sorted

    Don't use the CD--it is almost always out of date. Just add the printer using Print & Scan System Prefs and it should find the correct drivers.
    If not, go to the Epson website and download the current ones.
    If you need the bundled software that comes on the CD, download it from Epson.
    What version of Office was it? 2004 won't run on any OS after 10.6.  Office 2008 and 2011 will run.
    However, it should not have deleted any of your Documents.
    If it was Office 2008 or 2011, try reinstalling it. I've found that Microsoft products have a hard time with change. It's like when you remove the pagoda from a goldfish bowl. To the goldfish, the world around them has changed and they freak out. Sometimes you can calm down the Microsoft products by reinstalling them.
