My iTunes won't force quit and says it's still syncing my iPhone after hours of syncing.

My iTunes won't force quit and says it's still syncing my iPhone after hours of syncing. I had plugged in my iPhone 4S in the morning before I left for school, it synced almost completely, and then it got stuck on "Finishing Sync". I pulled my iPhone out because I had to leave to go to school, and iTunes is still stuck on "Finishing Sync". I tried force quitting and restarting but it's of no use. Now I can't use iTunes at all.

Scratch that, I TRIED to shut down but I guess iTunes overrided it because it still thinks it's syncing

ITunes won't force quit and is hanging after update

OK, so I downloaded the new update for my iPhone. While it said preparing to install it took a long time. I figured it was frozen so I did a force quit. Now I'm stuck. I can't get into my iPhone because it is showing a picture of the plug going into iTunes logo.
I can't force quit itunes either. It just doesn't do anything. I tried rebooting and iTunes is still "open" and won't respond.
Any help would be appreciated

I seemed to have gotten it to finally disappear after rebooting again and again. Though it sent my phone into recovery mode so I'm working on that

HT1766 4 voice memos in iTunes backup from iPhone had ! marks and would not play so I deleted them and although they are still on the iPhone, they will not sync back to iTunes from iPhone.

You may have to try deleting all the music from your phone (by going to Settings>General>Usage>Music, swipping All Music and tapping Delete), then sync it all back on with iTunes in order to fix this.

Itunes will not force quit and freezes often

I recently moved my itunes folder to an external hard drive. since then it has a had lots of troubles. I resolved some of the issues that were related to itunes 8 (deleted the genius.itdb file to avoid error 13026). However itunes is still regularly freezing when i play songs or add songs to the library. when i attempt to force quit itunes, it will disappear from the force quit menu but the dock still shows it as running, when I reopen the force quit menu it is still listed. i have to restart my computer to get it to quit so i can attempt to reopen it. is this a problem with the hard drive? or do i need to do something else?

Hold the power button down for 7 seconds or more.

Excel won't force quit and won't open.

I'm on Yosemite. No problems at first. But now if I try to open an excel file I get the error message "The application “Microsoft Excel” is not open anymore." I get the same message when I try to open the application from the applications folder. Excel appears in the Force Quit options but won't disappear when I force quit it. That's about the limit of my troubleshooting, any ideas?

OK I turned my mac off and on (as per the IT Crowd) - it worked :0/

Initial sync hangs up iTunes until a force quit and restart?

I have an iPod classic. When I first plug it into iTunes, it does an automatic sync that hangs up the iPod and iTunes. I have to force quit iTunes, and restart. Once I restart, everything is fine. Any suggestions?

You might be able to trick iMovie by temporarily moving that project folder out of the following location:
Mac HD > Users > (your home folder) > Movies > iMovie Projects > (look for the name of the project that blew-up)
Drag that project folder to the Desktop for the time being. Launch iMovie and see if it still tries to create the Project Thumbnails. If it gets past any error messages or other house keeping, you can create a new project. Otherwise, quit iMovie. Drag that project folder from the desktop BACK into your iMovie Projects folder. Try launching iMovie again and see if it gets stuck generating the Thumbnails.

ITunes won't force quit (Hung)

The new version 5.1 didn't help at all.... 5 is just full of bugs.
Here's my problem:
I've been having iTunes get hung up when I try to open it. The icon starts jumping but the program never opens a window... my Computer clock is also having problems and is sorta frozen from time to time. Anyone know what's up with this? I get the pin-wheel o' death every time I move my mouse up there to reset is when it's hung. I am the first one to say Apple rocks! but lately I've been cursing it up because of this new iTunes version.

Hi Bill, Welcome to the New Apple Discussions.
These kinds of problems with different apps crashing can crop up after updates. Have you carried out any of the suggestions in the following link lately?

It refers to a previous updates before Tiger but the advice is still correct.

Iphoto frozen, won't force quit - but pretends to!

Iphoto has simply frozen, won't force quit and hides until I call up all open windows by squeezing the mouse buttons - it shows as a window with a blue highlight all around. Not sure whats happened. Tried connecting camera and importing, but wont open - still stays hidden from view. Also tried synching Iphone but same happens. Small dot shows Iphoto as open, but nowhere to be seen until I squeeze the mouse - then the highlighted window pops up, but doesn;t allow me to do anything and disappears as soon as I let go of the ouse buttons. Help please....

Try trash the com.apple.iPhoto.plist file from the HD/Users/ Your Name / library / preferences folder.
(On 10.7: Hold the option (or alt) key while clicking on the Go menu in Finder to access the User Library)
(Remember you'll need to reset your User options afterwards. These include minor settings like the window colour and so on. Note: If you've moved your library you'll need to point iPhoto at it again.)
What's the plist file?
For new users: Every application on your Mac has an accompanying plist file. It records certain User choices. For instance, in your favourite Word Processor it remembers your choice of Default Font, on your Web Browser is remembers things like your choice of Home Page. It even recalls what windows you had open last if your app allows you to pick up from where you left off last. The iPhoto plist file remembers things like the location of the Library, your choice of background colour, whether you are running a Referenced or Managed Library, what preferences you have for autosplitting events and so on. Trashing the plist file forces the app to generate a new one on the next launch, and this restores things to the Factory Defaults. Hence, if you've changed any of these things you'll need to reset them. If you haven't, then no bother. Trashing the plist file is Mac troubleshooting 101.

Itunes won't open, won't force quit, won't anything

This problem started about a month ago and now it's critical.
When I click the itunes icon, it bounces and then freezes. itunes won't open. It also won't force quit. I can't shut down because, it says, itunes won't quit. I have to hold down the power button 7 seconds to shut down and then restart. My IT guy at work (who is a Mac person) showed me how to repair permissions and the first half dozen or so times this happened, that worked. Now it won't. I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling itunes. I've tried reinstalling and repairing permissions. I've rebooted and repaired and reinstalled.
This is the kind of thing I switched from PCs to get away with.
Does anyone have any ideas? I really need to be able to use itunes.
Thanks,
Teresa

Here are some basic to try in turn, see if any one will help:
Ensure that you have the latest version of the OS and Quicktime and iTunes.
1. Delete the com.apple.iTunes.plist file from the home / library / preferences folder. You'll need to reset your User options afterwards.
2. Create a new account (systempreferences -> accounts) and see if the problem is repeated there. If it is, then a re-install of the app might be indicated. If it's not, then it's likely the app is okay and the problem is something in the main account.

ITunes won't start up and can't be quit

Hi everyone,
this morning I was asked to install some updates, which I did. I didn't even check what they were, just authorized it. Now I can't get iTunes to start up. It just won't do it. I see the little blue dot underneath the icon in the dock but it won't open and says application not responsive or something like that. I also can't force quit it. I need to restart the computer to quit it. I also noticed that it takes absolute ages to reboot...I'm talking Windows standards (eeek!).
Does anyone have any idea what is going on here?
Cheers,
Claudia

I'm having the same problem. Logging in as my self or someone else doesn't help. Every once in a while iTunes will start and work, but after a while it will no longer be on the screen and if I go to Force Quit it show iTunes as not responding, but it won't force quit. Any help out there would be great.

I had to reinstall iTunes cause during update it was shut off by mistake, now it won't come up and says,"The file "iTunes Library .itl" cannot be read because it was created by a newer version of iTunes", what do I do?

Empty/corrupt library after upgrade/crash
Hopefully it's not been too long since you last upgraded iTunes, in fact if you get an empty/incomplete library immediately after upgrading then with the following steps you shouldn't lose a thing or need to do any further housekeeping. In the Previous iTunes Libraries folder should be a number of dated iTunes Library files. Take the most recent of these and copy it into the iTunes folder. Rename iTunes Library.itl as iTunes Library (Corrupt).itl and then rename the restored file as iTunes Library.itl. Start iTunes. Should all be good, bar any recent additions to or deletions from your library.
See iTunes Folder Watch for a tool to catch up with any changes since the backup file was created.
When you get it all working make a backup!

PS CS3 Crashes and Won't Force Quit

Using Mac OS X 10.5.2 and latest PS. PS crashes and won't force quit. I have to reboot. Then after opening PS again and barely start editing a file (nothing else is running and I have 4GB ram) PS crashes again.
Also the reset password function on the Adobe site refuses to work and I can't get any support. This is getting really frustrating.

I assume you trashed your preferences? Look in your user Library/Preferences folder and delete your com.adobe.Photoshop.plist file where your preferences are stored. Other than that, I have no clue. Did you try editing different files to see if it could be just that one file giving you problems? I have been using PS CS3 for the past three days, and I have noticed a lot of instability which I didn't have with PS 7. Of course, new machine, new programs, I was expecting a few glitches, but hopefully the dust will settle soon and my workflow will become stable again.

That's actually bad. Peruse Pondini's Setup New Mac guide and seriously consider starting over.
