  • Problem closing iTunes - iTunes.exe hanging.

    I have been having a problem restarting iTunes EXCEPT on a reboot or by manually ending the iTunes.exe process. iTunes.exe is hanging.....it is not using any CPU, but memory usage reduces to about 95,000k, and, of course, I have to end the process before I can restart iTunes.
    I finally figured out that this problem occurs only when I have been streaming music through Apple Express. In other words, Apple Express is preventing iTunes from closing.

    I experimented around and reformated, and began reinstalling programs one by one as a test, starting first with iTunes. It worked just fine. Low and behold, the next program I installed was my antivirus/spyware program. It recreated the problem I had been having for the last year or so. I tried putting exceptions in the application configuration, but that didn't make any difference. Surprisingly, even stopping/disabling the program didn't work either. Completely uninstalling the program did - meaning there were conflicts between the installed components of the Antivirus/spyware program and the iTunes/Airport Express. Now I've got to go find another spyware/antivirus program. But, the question remains, why should a antivirus/spyware program, disabled at that, ie, stopped, cause iTunes to hang after streaming music through Airport Express??? Strange.

  • The iPad does not ship unless he closed  ITunes does not recognize or computer  If he shipped fully closed device  I bought a charger and bought Link and the same problem persists  IPad without Jelbrak

    The iPad does not ship unless he closed
    ITunes does not recognize or computer
    If he shipped fully closed device
    I bought a charger and bought Link and the same problem persists

    What do you mean 'does not ship unless he closed' ? What are you trying to do with your iPad, and what happens when you do it ?
    If your computer's iTunes isn't recognising the iPad then do you have the latest version of iTunes installed on your computer ?

  • I just installed update version 11.1.4.62.  Now Itunes doesn't recognize my iphone or ipad.  My wife just installed the same version with the same result.  The problem is clearly a problem with itunes.  What's wrong with itunes?

    I was running the previous version of itunes and it worked perfectly.  I just installed the latest version of itunes (version 11.1.4.62) and restarted the PC and now itunes doesn't recognize my iphone or my ipad.  I'm running Windows 8.1 on my pc.  I tried diagnostics to no avail.  The diagnostic didn't recognize either device.  As the directions advised, I closed itunes, disconnected the devices and stopped and restarted the apple  mobile device service,  That didn't work either.  My wife, who also has Windows 8.1, has the same problem.  She installed the new version and it doesn't recognize her devices.
    Until now, itunes has been totally reliable.  I am convinced the problem is with itunes.  Where do I go from here?

    I resolved the issue by doing the following:
    1. Uninstall iTunes and every Apple application (device support and such).
    2. Uninstall bonjour.
    3. Reboot.
    4. Go to Apple and install iTunes.
    It worked.  When I opened iTunes (after reinstalling) it recognized all my devices, music and video.

  • Why Might Data Execution Prevention Be Closing iTunes 11.2.0.115?

    I don’t own any Apple hardware and only use iTunes to listen to songs I purchased in the iTunes store that only work in iTunes. I started noticing problems when I updated to version 11.2.0.115 today. The “iTunes.exe” process remains in the “Processes” list of my Windows Task Manager for about 30 seconds after I exit the program. A balloon then appears in my taskbar saying Data Execution Prevention has closed iTunes. Windows Help and Support suggests seeing if a DEP-compatible version is available before turning DEP off for the program. I’m using Microsoft Windows Vista Home Premium Service Pack 2 32-bit. What, if anything, can I do?

    I fixed it on my computer.  Not sure which of the steps I did fixed it so I will list all of them.
    I wasn't getting the error until I did the following (to prevent it from just crashing on logging into the iTunes Store)
    https://discussions.apple.com/message/23987910#23987910
    I added C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Apple\Apple Application Support; to the system variables PATH (depending on your operating system, your file path will be different).  How to do that has been outlined in the above linked article.
    This now caused DEP to freak out whenever I logged into the store and close iTunes.  Adding iTunes to the DEP filter didn't solve the problem.  So I removed all the saved system settings for iTunes and ran Apple Software Update.  I also went to the DEP and added every .exe I could find in C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Apple to the exceptions list (again, depending on your OS the file path may be different.)
    To remove the saved system settings for iTunes you can find those in C:\Documents and Settings (for Win XP) or C:\Users (for Win 8).  Find a folder named AppData or Application data under various user names and remove any Apple related files you can.  I had one .log file that couldn't be deleted, but that shouldn't be a problem.

    Have upgraded to itunes 11.0.1.12. Start itunes and it is closed with the message itunes closed to help protect computer data execution prevention has closed itunes. operating system is ms vista 32 bit. I have followed the procedures that I can find on the itune support site.

    You're welcome. Glad you got things sorted out.
    (No problem about not spotting the solutions ... the most common causes of this sort of message changes over time, so it's not straightforward to be able to tell when a given piece of advice still applies to the symptoms.

  • Problems Moving iTunes Library To Another PC

    Hi All -
    I'm having problems moving my iTunes Library to another PC.
    OBJECTIVE
    I have a new PC, and I want to move my iTunes library off my old and onto the new.  I want to be sure that I get all of the music and videos that I have both purchased and loaded.  Total library size 132 GB.
    MY CURRENT SETUP
    o  Old PC - Windows XP
    o  My current iTunes Library is not in the default location; my C: drive was too small, and I installed a separate data disk quite some time ago
    o  All of my files (music, videos, apps, etc.) are consolidated in the new library location.
    WHAT I'VE DONE SO FAR
    o Researched to find out how to copy my library to a new PC - from Apple's site
    o Copied my iTunes library directory to an external disk.
    o  Installed iTunes on the new PC
    o  Opened iTunes on the new PC and changed the location of the library to a secondary data disk.
    o  Closed iTunes
    o  Copied my iTunes libaray from the external disk to the new PC library.
    o  Opened iTunes - where the heck is my stuff?!?
    o  Research ... i need the .itl file
    o  Apparently the itl file was not in the directory structure when I copied my library onto the external disk.
    o  Find the itl file ... copy the itl file ... open iTunes while holding down the <SHIFT> key
    o Point to the new itl file which is now co-located w/ all of my content.
    o  iTunes shows my stuff, but when I click on one of the items, it tells me the file it not found.
    Clearly I'm missing a step somewhere.  I just want to move all my stuff, lock-stock-and-barrel, to a new installation of iTunes, on a new PC, into a library location other than the default.
    Help!
    Thanks.

    With iTunes closed, copy the files iTunes Library.itl, iTunes Library Extras.itdb, iTunes Library Genius.itdb, sentinel and the folder Album Artwork from C:\Documents and Settings\Compaq_Owner\My Documents\My Music\iTunes into G:\ - Note that sentinel is a hidden file so use Tools > Folder Options > View > Show hidden files and folders in Windows Explorer to reveal it. The iTunes Music Library.xml file and Previous iTunes Libraries folder won't be needed.
    Press & hold down shift as you click the icon to launch iTunes. Keep holding until prompted to choose or create a library, click choose and browse to G:\iTunes Library.itl
    Check that you can play a file or two. Close iTunes
    Rename G:\iTunesLibrary as G:\iTunes Media
    Launch iTunes. Check under Edit > Preferences > Advanced that the media folder has been automatically updated to G:\iTunes Media. If not, use the Change... button to correct it. Don't consolidate files if prompted. Close iTunes, then reopen. Check that you can play media.
    Close iTunes. Create a folder called G:\iTunes. Move the files iTunes Library.itl, iTunes Library.xml, iTunes Library Extras.itdb, iTunes Library Genius.itdb, sentinel and the folders Album Artwork & iTunes Media inside G:\iTunes.
    Press & hold down shift as you click the icon to launch iTunes. Keep holding until prompted to choose or create a library, click choose and browse to G:\iTunes\iTunes Library.itl
    Check under Edit > Preferences > Advanced that the media folder has been automatically updated to G:\iTunes\iTunes Media. If not, use the Change... button to correct it. Don't consolidate files if prompted. Close iTunes, then reopen.
    Check that you can play media. You're done....This library can now be connected to any computer and you can use the shift-start-iTunes method to connect to it. whatever drive letter is provided.
    If the media won't play at any stage stop, check that you've followed the steps properly or ask for help.

  • DEP (Date Execution Prevention) Closed iTunes due to security reason

    I just bought a new laptop (SONY SR) operated with Window Vista. My laptop never run iTunes since I installed it. I tried uninstall and reinstall again n again, but it just doesn't work.
    A screen appeared and say that iTunes stopped working, DEP (Data Execution Prevention) has closed iTunes due to security reason.
    How do I off that "DEP"? Thanks!!!

    Hi, I just got this problem solved. Hope it helps.
    You don't have to turn off DEP or reinstall any program.
    The only thing you need to do is associate your Quicktime files ONLY to QuickTime player.
    When you open QuickTime it will automatically pop up a window to ask you if you want to fix file association. The answer is positive of course.
    If it still doesn't work maybe you could uninstall some codec / media players which associate with QuickTime files.

  • Minimize and closing ITunes

    After installing both version 7 and 8 of ITunes, it is now very hard to minimize or close the program using the _ or X in the upper right hand corner. If I click several times on each and then click serveral times at ramdon on othe parts of the program, I can usually get it to work. I can always go the the task bar and complete my actions there, but am wondering if anyone else has had this same problem closing or minimizing ITunes.
    Thanks, Randy

    I have been also having this issue with my 5th Gen 30gb iPod. Once plugged in, iTunes does not minimize, but when closing, iTunes restarts by itself. After closing it again, it restarts again, over and over. This does only occur when the iPod is plugged in.
    A fresh install of Windows XP Pro does not change this issue on my PC. I have noticed this issue has only started within the last month; the iPod was purchased in Oct. '06.
    Thank you.

  • Playback Skipping Problems with iTunes 7.3 or later - Resource Hog?

    Audio playback on my computer was fine on all versions of iTunes upto and including version 7.2. The problem started when Apple released iTunes 7.3 (for the iPhone - which I don't have). Audio playback was fine if iTunes was the only program running. But if I was also using another program - like a simple 3d game or even just using the lasso tool in Photoshop - then playback sk..sk..skipped constantly. So I closed iTunes and tested my music library on Windows Media Player 11 with other programs running and audio playback was consistently good - no skipping at all. But I'd rather not use Windows Media Player if iTunes can work properly! I suspected that iTunes 7.3 had become a resource hog. When iTunes 7.4.2 was released I was hoping that the problem would be solved. It wasn't. So I uninstalled iTunes 7.4.2, re-installed iTunes 7.2 (the last version that worked) and audio playback (with other programs running) is great again. So I don't think the problem has arisen from installing any other programs. My question is : WHAT THE **** HAVE APPLE DONE TO iTUNES since version 7.2?! Please help, because I don't want to be stuck with this version and never be able to update!

    anybody?

  • After closing iTunes 6 it's still hogging CPU

    I had no problems installing the latest iTunes 6 and Quicktime. It all looked as if it was running OK.
    However I noticed that each time I closed iTunes my PC (P4 2.4ghz/1024Mb RAM/XP Home SP2) was running extremely slow.
    Using Task Manager, I looked at the CPU usage - YIKES - iTunes.exe was still there hogging between 50 to 99%. I'm having to kill this process manually to sort this.
    Anyone else having this problem? Any ideas how to fix it, as it's a bit of a pain having to do this each time!!

    I've about 1100 albums in my library - I wonder if it's doing some sort of maintenance process after closing - and because of the size of the library it's taking this amount of time?
    hmmmm. i believe that itunes updates the itl file on close-down ... but it's a bit of a mystery why it would be making such a meal of it in your case.
    starting to check through odd possibilities, now. does that PC have dual cores or processors? if so, perhaps check to see if you've got a variation of this issue (it hits imports as well, so i wouldn't be entirely suprised if it was also hitting some other library-related functions):

  • Problems with itunes while making a playlist?

    I'm making a playlist in itunes. At 36 songs I got a message from my computer saying itunes stopped working. It closed itunes. I reopened it. Nothing wrong. Kept adding to my new playlist. At the 50-60 song area itunes froze. Still is at this moment. Anybody have a problem like this?
    Note: The biggest playlist I've made is 76 songs.

    Doesn't ring any specific bells, but everytime you make a change in iTunes, add a track to a playlist, update metadata, play a song, etc. it rewrites the database. If you have anti-virus software that is inspecting every file access it is just possible that it is interfering with iTunes as it tries to update. Have a look inside the iTunes folder. Are the lots of temp files? If so then I would delete them all, then adjust your AV to exclude the iTunes folder from all on access scanning.

  • Problems with Itunes freezing

    Any time I try to select a song, or skip to next song, pause, or anything else really, there is a 10 second delay. Even closing Itunes causes a 10second delay.
    I've tried completely re-installing Itunes, running anti-spyware, anti-virus programs. Any suggestions would be appreciated.
    Thanks

    I'm having the same type of problem. At least once a day, itunes will stop recognizing it's own library, and the only remedy I have found is to just restart the computer (sadly, this works quite well). I am also having problems importing CDs (I have to rip it through windows media player, import the folder, and convert the media). It's a real pain, and it all started as soon as I installed the new version of itunes (I have even removed and reinstalled the program several times and I still get the same thing).

  • Problems with itunes 10 and external hard drive

    Hi
    I was recently forced to change the internal hard drive on my G5 Tower, and the external hard drive where I keep my music library.
    The new external drive had all my music files copied to it. I reloaded my itunes library files (that I had backed up from old computer) into my music folder and I named the new external drive as the media folder in Itunes preferences. The first time I used itunes it asked me if I wanted it to locate all files to which I pressed OK. itunes quickly found the majority of files and I cleaned up / organized the small mess left behind.
    Trouble is a few problems have occurred. Firstly, itunes seems slow – there’s a sluggish pause flicking between tracks – where as before it used to snap into response. Occasionally I’m asked to locate files which I thought was a task it had already done - and every now and again when I check the external hard drive music library I find files have been moved from there album locations to ‘untitled’ folders, etc. I can only assume itunes is doing this. I’ve also noticed I can’t remove the external hard drive from the desktop without closing itunes first which never happened before.
    This is getting somewhat frustrating. Can anybody advise?
    Much appreciated.

    Hi Nick,
    Avoid the WD files completely, not needed & often a problem.
    You need to erase the Drive, & to use it on both Format it MS-DOS/FAT32, on the Mac or PC, but will have a 4 GB filesize limit, as well as other limitations.
    One option not mentioned yet is MacDrive for your PCs... allows them to Read/Write  & Format HFS+, so no need to reformat it...

  • Problem with iTunes while playing a game

    I'm having some sound problems while loading a new area in certain games. To be specific, Guild Wars.
    When I'm loading a new area, my speakers often get a horrible static-y sound. This sound won't go away for a good half hour. The strange thing is that my Guild Wars sound is still normal. The only thing that has the static sound is the music coming from iTunes. Simply closing iTunes and reopening does not help. I have to wait a while before my sound is fixed.
    The only other game I play with iTunes running is Warcraft 3, and I've never had this problem while loading a map.
    Any help is appreciated.

    Hmm... well Guild Wars' Memory usage isn't very consistent. I've seen it jump from 150,000+K to 22,000K. Now it is 70,000K, while iTunes is 40,000K.
    For the record, my computer isn't top of the line. I have an AMD Athlon 1700+, and 768 RAM. As for my Sound Card... your guess is as good as mine. Hahah sorry. I'm pretty useless.
    Oh, and my CPU usage is 100% while playing. :/
