Upgraded to Lion and Itunes continuously relaunches

I upgraded to Lion from Snow Lepard, then upgraded iTunes and now itunes launches continuously. I killed the helper application and removed it from the startup items list. Any ideas what might be triggering it? I am on a Mac Book Pro early 2008 version. I have firefox, Eclipse, Bbedit and Xcode running. This is getting old pretty quickly I am about to uninstall iTunes.
Thanks

I'm on a MacBook Pro, just upgraded to 10.8.2 and iTunes 10.7(21) and I can't get iTunes to quit. I've tried everything I know to do, with the exception of manually editing launchd's config; which I'm fairly disinclined to try. Anyway, I'm very happy the keyboard was the problem but it isn't the case here.
I appreciate any help.
Thanks!

  • After upgrading to Lion and iTunes 10.4, cover flow not displaying song playing. Why not?

    Since upgrading to Lion and iTunes 10.4, cover flow is not displaying the currently playing song. It will simply display the first cover in the playlist. Also, the screen saver starts during playback, unlike Snow Leopard. Any ideas on how to fix? I have already repaired disk and permissions but problem persists.

    Thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you!
    I tried restarting my mac and my iphone a bunch of times, reinstalling iTunes after deleting dozens of files, and it didn't help at all.
    I re-installed X-Code (had to use Activity Monitor to kill iTunes Helper in the middle of the install) and then my iPhone synced again!

  • Upgraded to Lion and iTunes 10.5 and can't import music

    I upgraded to Lion last night and immediately upgraded to iTunes. When I insert a cd, iTunes identifies the songs on the cd, but fails to import with the first track. I can play any track while in iTunes but can't import.

    Yep, USB connected. Got a supposed workaround on the Internet which suggested erasing all vestiges of iTunes from computer. I used "find" in the Finder and brought up all iTunes files and took to the trash. Then, as suggested, I downloaded a fresh copy of iTunes from the Apple site and installed it hoping that any corruption of older files might be gone. This DID NOT WORK. Hooked iPhone up to comp, brought up iTunes, checked the iPhone menu and there WAS NO MENU ITEM of "sync this iPhone wirelessly via WIFI" which we have in the house. Apple should fix this since there are apparently many of us with the same problem. I have all criteria that should make this work:
    1) iMac Power PC using OS 10.5.8
    2) iPhone 3GS using OIS5
    3) iTunes 10.5.

  • Question: i upgraded to Lion and now itune upgrade will not install (error message appears)

    i upgraded to Lion and now itune upgrade will not install (error message appears)

    iPhoto needs to be upgraded in order to work with Mavericks. You can do that via Software Update or the App Store.
    The iWork apps are free with a new iOS device since 1 SEP 2013. They are free with a new Mac since 1 OCT 2013. They are also free with the upgrade to OS X Mavericks 10.9 if you had the previous version installed when you upgraded.
    Upgrading iPhoto does not involve your iPhoto Library. Your photos will still be there. But it never hurts to make a backup first.

  • When I upgrade to Lion my iTunes encountered a problem and will no longer open???

    iTunes was working fine before I upgraded to Lion.
    Immediately after upgrading to Lion the iTunes application would not open.  Thereafter the prompt: "iTunes has encountered an error and cannot open" appears.
    Please help.
    Thanks

    Ok I figured it out.  Now this may not work for you but it worked for me.
    You create a new admin. account in the users page in your settings.  Log out of your account and login to the new admin account.  Try to update iTunes.  It worked for me.  Don't know why this works but it did.  After the update obviously delete the other admin account and you should be functional.

  • Lion and iTunes 10.5 no longer connect to firefly music server on ReadyNAS.

    I installed Lion and iTunes 10.5 on my MacBook Pro (upgraded from Snow Leopard), and the firefly streaming service on my Netgear ReadyNAS NV+ no longer works.
    My wife's machine, still on Snow Leopard, still connects through the shared library as expected, by my machine will not.  It sees the library, but when you click on it, it says it's loading, but never does.  Also, I can connect to the drive and the music library if I navigate to it, but this isn't the proper way to stream music, and it means that only one machine in the house can read the library.
    Anybody have any ideas?
    Thanks,

    If I may answer my own question here….
    There was a parallel thread  ( https://discussions.apple.com/message/16577371?tstart=0#16577371?tstart=0 ), and in the thread, it points to a fix.
    Netgear released a firefly update for their NAS drives.  I've included it here:

  • HT4773 I have upgraded to Lion and I have a new Apple keyboard, however none of my function keys work correctly. Any idea what is the solution?

    I have upgraded to Lion and have a new keyboard. The problem I have is that the function keys are not working correctly - none of them. F1 -> F6 are not working at all and F7 - F12  do what F1 etc are supposed to do. Any ideas for a solution?
    Thanks in advance

    That message is telling you to update iTunes on your computer, not your phone. You need iTunes 11.1 on your computer in order to sync your devices.

    I haven't updated to Lion yet (I have 10.6.8) but I got this problem when I updated iTunes to 10.4. However, I applied your fix and it worked. Thanks JanBP!

  • Is there any combination of OS Lion and iTunes that can run radio streams without cutting (rebuffing) it for at least 3-4 hours?

    Hello! Is there any combination of OS Lion and iTunes that can run radio streams (primarily pls-streams) without cutting (rebuffing) it for at least 3-4 hours? I am running Lion (10.7.1) on an early-2011 MacBookPro with iTunes 10.3.1 and I am frustrated, because it will cut the stream at least once per hour (it's totally random), while my older MacBook, running Tiger with iTunes 9.2.1 doesn't have any such problems ... Any solution?

    Maybe you should upgrade iTunes to the current version - 10.5.3 - and upgrade Lion to 10.7.3.

  • I upgraded to Lion and now Safari doesn't work and the updater hangs so I can't install the updates. Can anyone help me with this?

    Reinstalling Lion
    Boot to the Recovery HD: Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND and R keys until the menu screen appears. Alterhatively, restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager screen appears. Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
    Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions: Upon startup select Disk Utility from the main menu. Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions as follows.
    When the recovery menu appears select Disk Utility. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list.  In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive.  If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the main menu.
    Reinstall Lion: Select Reinstall Lion and click on the Continue button.
    Note: You can also re-download the Lion installer by opening the App Store application. Hold down the OPTION key and click on the Purchases icon in the toolbar. You should now see an active Install button to the right of your Lion purchase entry. There are situations in which this will not work. For example, if you are already booted into the Lion you originally purchased with your Apple ID or if an instance of the Lion installer is located anywhere on your computer.

  • For weeks I have been viewing a doggy day care via their web cam.  This weekend I upgraded to Lion and have been unable to view the center since.  I get an error message for java webcam class not found.  All of my software is up to date--suggestions?

    For weeks I have been viewing a doggy day care center via their web cam.  This weekend I upgraded to Lion and have been unable to view the center.  I get an error message for Java plug-in 1.6.0_29 ....webcam class not found.  Any suggestions on how to fix this?

    Sorry, don't know what else to suggest unless there's a URL to the problem stream that someone here can try. Otherwise we can't test it to try and determine what might be wrong.
    BTW, make sure they're testing it with a Mac, not with a Windows system. If they test only with Windows, what they say is or is not working doesn't mean much.
    Regards.

  • I upgraded to Lion and now my iPhoto won't open and I don't know where my pictures are

    I upgraded to Lion and now i don't have Iphoto anymore.  Where did all of my pictures go??

    To re-install iPhoto
    1. Put the iPhoto.app in the trash (Drag it from your Applications Folder to the trash)
    2a: On 10.5:  Go to HD/Library/Receipts and remove any pkg file there with iPhoto in the name.
    2b: On 10.6: Those receipts may be found as follows:  In the Finder use the Go menu and select Go To Folder. In the resulting window type
    /var/db/receipts/
    2c: on 10.7 they're at
    /private/var/db/receipts
    A Finder Window will open at that location and you can remove the iPhoto pkg files.
    3. Re-install.
    If you purchased an iLife Disk, then iPhoto is on it.
    If iPhoto was installed on your Mac when you go it then it’s on the System Restore disks that came with your Mac. Insert the first one and opt to ‘Install Bundled Applications Only.
    If you purchased it on the App Store or have a Recent Mac you can find it in your Purchases List.

  • I have an iMac purchased new about 5 years ago with OS 10.4.11. I would like to upgrade to Lion. I currently have a 2.33 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo processor with 2 GB of ram. Can I upgrade to Lion, and what is the best way to do so?

    I have an iMac purchased new about 5 years ago with OS 10.4.11. I would like to upgrade to Lion. I currently have a 2.33 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo processor with 2 GB of ram. Can I upgrade to Lion, and what is the best way to do so?

    From what I read here:
    http://www.tuaw.com/2011/06/06/lion-...u-2-gb-of-ram/
    s long as they already have Snow Leopard 10.6.8 installed in it.All a person needs to do with that type of iMac is to upgrade/max out their Ram. They claim that an Interl iMac with Core 2 Duo is all that is needed, as long as it has OS 10.6.8 installed. They say you don`t need  the "Core i3, Core i5, Core i7, or Xeon processor"
    But I wonder about the RAM speed, the iMac 2.33Ghz uses DDR2 SDRAM,  which I believe is rated at 667Mhz. Lion maybe installed but it might be problems running smoothly or not?
    Did some quick checking and the iMacs apple is selling this year use 1333MHz DDR3 SDRAM.
    The only thing to do is to make sure you have a good back-up, Install your RAM and install Snow Leo, then wait a couple of hours and install Lion.
    Good Luck

  • I've just upgraded to Lion and finder no longer shows how much free disk space I have left

    Hi I've just upgraded to Lion and when im now in finder i can no longer see how much free or used hard disk space i have. anyone know how to turn this back on?

    Hi Alan,
    I think you are looking for this:
    From the Finder, select View > Show Status Bar and like magic, your info is revealed like how it was with snow leopard at the bottom of the finder window.
    If you have the finder window at the bottom of your screen then it might be below the screen, just move the window up. That happened for me when I revealed it.
    Hope this helps.
