Why can't I get iTunes to close when I click the X

This just started after I downloaded the latest iTunes. I open it, do what I want to do and then disconnect my device and click on either the red x in the top corner or the exit in the file drop down. iTunes refuses to close and keeps reopening. If I do the same thing over and over for about 6 or 7 times it finally closes. Any suggestions how to stop this annoying trend?

Hi JillEshenbaugh,
Welcome to the Support Communities!
What version of Windows are you working with? If you force quit the application and restart the computer does the issue persist? If so, you may need to reinstall iTunes:

I can no longer get Firefox to display when I click the tab. The toolbar shows me firefox is up and running but cannot get the page to expand.

This all happened after a windows update. It started when a pop-up I was wanting to see wouldn't come up but was showing in the toolbar below that it was up. I could click on the toolbar screen and it would shoot over to the right side out of view. I uninstalled Firefox and reinstalled and now I can't get the browser to do anything up idle in the toolbar!!

After this, you probably will be buying some access control software...
First, make a backup of your computer for safekeeping. To back up Firefox, see [https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Backing+up+your+information Backing up your information].
Next, try starting Firefox in Firefox
[http://support.mozilla.com/kb/Safe+Mode Safe Mode]. Be careful not to "reset" anything permanently if you didn't back up.
Does that fix it? If not, try creating a new (blank) profile: [http://support.mozilla.com/kb/Managing+profiles Managing profiles].
To move key settings like bookmarks from your damaged profile to the new profile, see: [https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Recovering+important+data+from+an+old+profile Recovering important data from an old profile].
Hope this helps.

This article is vague and unhelpful. My iTunes needs help from a pro.
I have over 120,000 songs -- NO movies, TV, radio, or books...
I have other programs which efficiently run things which are not audio-based.
So why can I not get iTunes working well?? It now takes at least 10 secs for any operation to be completed!
That is just plain evil. But I am sure I could do something to help.
All the music is on an 2T external drive.

TS1717 as noted in the thread title...
Brigancook, is the library database on the external or just the media? iTunes reevaluates smart playlists and rewrites its database after every action on the library. I've found this can make a library half that size, with a lot of smart playlists, quite sluggish. That said I'm aware part of my problem is aging hardware. Having the database on the internal drive may improve performance if it is currently on the external.
I'd expect to see an exponential relationship between size and response time which may explain what you see. Cutting down on the number of smart playlists might help. If we're really lucky the long awaited iTunes 11 might have streamlined some of the background processes as well as cleaning up the front end.

Why doesn't Skype not close when you click the X b...

I'd like to get some input as to why Skype does not close when you click the red X button on the top right corner but rather only gets minimized. It's frustrating and makes no sense at all. The only way to close Skype is to right click the icon in the tray and choose "Quit Skype."
I'd like to understand why this useless feature exists. It renders the minimize button ( - ) useless, which is only two squares away from the X button.
Please don't proceed to list other programs that do this (i.e. some antivirus software) as that was not what I asked. It's standard for programs to close when the X button is clicked, as will happen momentarily when I click the X button on my Chrome browser window when I'm done typing this quation. Thanks

What he was talking about was setting it to ""run as administrator" in the shortcut/executable as you should know that would run the application in a true administrator mode (like Windows XP) vs. the default crippled administrators group in Windows. I personally have not had to do this since I have not run into the issue but for those that have, people claimed it has helped/resolved the issue. In regards to following UI interaction rules, it does as it actually closes the form. Skype doesn't send an additional closure to the resident system tray icon form because it's a memory resident communication program. Some programs give you that option, others don't. Geforce Experience is one of the latest programs I use, that doesn't. Nobody forces anything on you. If you feel your family is "forcing" something on you, you always have the option of "forcing" something on them or suggesting another method you prefer in order to stay in contact with you. In the end that's a family issue, not a Skype one.
If you want to close Skype down in one click you can do so using the provided shortcuts in the following thread. You can also assign those shortcuts hotkeys or assign them to a key on your keypboard/mouse using additional key mapping software to completely close Skype with the press of a single button.

Can't get iTunes to close when using my iPod

I have the original Touch, works just fine so why replace it. However, lately when I download from iTunes, sync the new songs and then click the button to disconnect, I can't get itunes to close. It keeps opening and finally in dispair, I resort to going to the Windows Task manager and close it that way which sometimes doesn't work until I've done it several times. At the same time I get the new Apple rules and regs, I always click accept and it still opens and opens and opens. Does anyone else have this difficulty? Not thrilled with Apple taking over my computer.

I have not heard of that problem before. You can try:
- ANother cable and USB port
Removing and Reinstalling iTunes, QuickTime, and other software components for Windows XP
or
Removing and reinstalling iTunes, QuickTime, and other software components for Windows Vista or Windows 7
- Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Unsync all music and resync
- Reset all settings
Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
- Restore from backup. See:
iOS: How to back up
- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
If still problem, make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.

I can't get itunes to load on the computer at all! I have uninstalled and reinstalled and still nothing! Why can't I get itunes to open??

I can't get itunes to open from my desktop. When I click on the icon nothing happens. I have uninstalled and reinstalled and still nothing. Why isn't itunes working??

On my PC I had a problem where the iTunes store would only display a blank white page, I managed to display my account settings, but nothing for music, etc
I treid this and it has immediately sorted it out...
start>programs>accessories> right click on Command Prompt and run as Administrator
then simply enter 'netsh winsock reset' and return
after restarting the PC and loading up iTunes the store was there fine ;-)
I posted this on some other threads and it has been successful for the other people that have tried it

TS4062 Why can't I get iTunes to sync with my iPad over wifi?

After doing everything suggested in the troubleshooting guide, I still cannot get iTunes to recognize my device (iPad) unless I use direct USB connection. I even selected the wifi checkbox in iTunes when my USB cable was connected. This happened after I downloaded the latest version of iTunes (it worked fine before).

Hello rhofer
If you are having issues with connecting to the iTunes Store, check out the first article for some tips and also ensure that the router at your parents home are using the recommended settings.

Why can't i get itunes connect to accept me?

Cannot get through the process of putting my book up, it seems like Itunes Connect is not accepting me... I have put in all of my information and filled out the application... Never received an email confirmation, however. ~

I'm having the same problem. Does anyone know how long it usually takes to be approved for itunes connect? It's been 3 weeks and I still haven't been approved. They sent the verificaiton email and that worked out, but I still haven't been approved for itunes connect. I thought maybe it was because of my itunes account, but when I got a new email, then got a new itunes account and then tried to reapply to itunes connect, it wouldn't let me because it says that my EIN nunber is already in use for a different connect account, and YET, I can't access it. 3 weeks seems like WAY to long for this application to be approved. I've checked my spam folder, nothing is there from Apple.
Thoughts, anyone?

Why can't I get itunes radio in IOS7 and itunes 11?

Hi Have installed itunes 11 on my mac and ios 7 on my iphone but I cannot get itunes radio. I saw it for a while and couldn't connect and then it disappeared. any ideas of what may be wrong? thanks

iTunes Radio is only in the USA. If you are outside, you won't be able to use it, so it's normal you can't see the option

Why can't I get Itunes 12 to work on Windows 10

I can install ITunes but when I go to open it or run it, I refuses to open. ITunes 12 should be supported on the new windows 10 tech preview. Let me know what you guys can give me to help fix this issue. I've tried running it as administrator like other forms have said to do and that still doesn't work.

Windows 10 isn't yet released or listed as a supported platform for iTunes.
Windows System Requirements
PC with a 1GHz Intel or AMD processor and 512MB of RAM
Windows XP Service Pack 3 or later, 32-bit editions of Windows Vista, Windows 7, or Windows 8
64-bit editions of Windows Vista, Windows 7, or Windows 8 require the iTunes 64-bit installer
400MB of available disk space
Broadband Internet connection to use the iTunes Store
You may find this version installs and works as expected, but no promises.

I can't get ITunes to respond when I touch the screen. What can I do to get it to respond?

I can't get ITunes store to respond

Quit the app and restart the iPad.
Go to the home screen first by tapping the home button. Quit/close open apps by double tapping the home button and the task bar will appear with all of you recent/open apps displayed at the bottom. Tap and hold down on any app icon until it begins to wiggle. Tap the minus sign in the upper left corner to close the apps. Restart the iPad. Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.
Or try this
Reset the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons.

Why can't I get my screen back when it goes to sleep?

I Have my 17" Macbook Pro (mid-2011) set to have the screen and backlit keyboard turn off after 15 minutes of inactivity, however at least half the time when I come back to use it again and I hit the trackpad or a random key to "wake it up", the backlit keyboard will light up again, but the screen won't come back on...it just stays black and I cant do anything. I have to hold the power button (HATE doing that too) and turn it back on that way....is there a fix for this at all?

I have been having the same problem with my MacBook Pro -2010 though. It just started a few weeks ago; can't seem to get the to screen stay on long enough to log back in; it goes back to black within seconds. I have tried all the different buttons; esc works sometimes after holding the power button down for a few seconds. Eventually the log in screen [or the screen I was at when I closed the top] will come back on.
I hope I can find the answer to this as I can't afford a new machine right now. Besides, it's only a year old but out of warranty.

Why can't I get my email messages when i'm away from home?

My Blackberry gets emails when i'm at home via our wireless network, but when I'm away from home, I don't get any email messages or text messages at all. We have both the home WiFi wireless network "on" and the Mobile Network is on. What should I do so I can get emails when I'm away from home?

Without a Blackberry Data Plan you can't get email pushed to your Curve. While on your wi-fi network you are able to access your email, but away from that link you need a data plan.
