Why does iTunes DJ stop after my display has powered down?

When my display has gone into idle power-down, iTunes finishes what it was doing and quits until I do something to my computer that wakes the display.
Details:
I'm listening to music on iTunes DJ (some AirPlay devices running).
Everything's fine if I'm using the computer iTunes is on.
When I walk away, I notice after a few minutes that no track started after the last one stopped. At some point during the last track, my display powered down (5 minutes).
I jiggle my mouse or tap ctrl or shift or whatever else you do to get a display to wake up.
As the monitor wakes up, play resumes.
BONUS: when iTunes is in this state of non-playing, Apple TV can't engage my library to play media either.
Just started doing this today.
iTunes 10.5.3.3

Why does the sound stop after about 10 minutes? I like to listen to lectures, etc. and find it very annoying to have to press the on/off button to restart it every 10 minutes. Couldn't find a way to extend playing time in settings.

Any suggestions? This is my first iPod and I am ready to take it back if I am unable to extend the playing time. Frustrating!

I can imagine that is frustrating as heck. My daughter has one of these and I know for a fact hers does not turn off after 10 minutes because I have to turn it off for her every night after she has fallen asleep. Below is what Apple has to say about it from a troubleshooting standpoint.
"If music stops when the iPod nano screen turns off m Make sure the earphone port is free of debris. m Make sure the earphone or headphone connector is pushed in all the way. To see an illustration, go to support.apple.com/kb/ts3700."
Are you using aftermarket ear buds or speakers when you listen to these lectures??? If so maybe it has something to due with a compatibility issue.

Why does Itunes shutdown even after I have uninstalled and reinstalled at least 40 times? It hasn't work since Aug. 11

I get the message Itunes has stopped working and Windows is closing the program.

That message is usually a sign that you tried to roll back to an earlier build of iTunes, but occasionally I've seen it connected to a new upgrade. This technique should fix things.
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!

Why Does iTunes Launch Automatically After A MP3 Download?

I recently updated to Leopard and I've discovered that iTunes will launch automatically after I download an MP3. This is annoying since I keep my MP3's on an external HD separate from my Download folder. You shouldn't have to keep iTunes open just because you've downloaded an MP3. If I download a PDF to my Download folder, Acrobat doesn't launch automatically. That's the kind of OS behavior I expect from Windows. How do I stop iTunes from behaving in this manner or is this another "genius" feature I'll have to put up with?

Update:
If you're sure it's not your browsers, then most likely you have accessed iTunes' preferences and clicked the Set button for "Use iTunes for Internet music playback" (iTunes > Preferences > Advanced) at some point.
As you can see, there is not an option to undo this change. So, you will either need to use Property List Editor (if you have installed the Developer Tools with OS X), or a 3rd-party property list editor to undo the setting. Short of that, you would have to simply quit iTunes and move the file com.apple.iTunes.plist (/~username/Library/Preferences/) to the Desktop to back it up, or to the Trash--but don't empty it yet in case you want to restore it. Then, launch iTunes and go through the process of setting up the application's preferences again, but don't set the preference to use iTunes for Internet music playback this time.

Why does iTunes keep stopping my download of 4.3.5 with timeouts?

How can I download update 4.3.5 from a source other than iTunes? I am connected to the internet by microwave and it evidently times out so the download stops. Then you need to start the whole process from the beginning. Would like to use a download manager so that if time outs occur the download will not be lost and can resume until completed.

I am having the same problem. I am using a Mac and have a wireless connection and my session times out all the time and i have to start from the beginning again. Is there any way I can stop it timing out or somewhere i can save the downloaded portion then restart the session?

Why does iTunes Store stop working when I try to view a certain category?

When I go to the iTunes store, I try to browse through the different apps. For example, I will click on "Entertainment" then on "Top Free Apps" then it will show a blank screen then my computer will say iTunes is not responding and shuts off. What can I do to fix this issue?

You don't have the typical symptoms that I associate the following issue with (normally the error kicks in just when folks visit the Store), but just in case try gn_id's suggestion from the following post:

HT5361 Why does my mail stop me from restarting or shutting down my computer?

I use monroefarquhar@**** for all my mail. Learning to use Mac i have made some type error with my mailboxes. Should i delete all mail? The problem is keeping me from turning off or restarting my computer.
<Email Edited By Host>

Can you quit Mail normally or do you have to force quit it? If you don't want to lose your e-mails, go to Mail/Mailboxes/Export Mailbox. You can put them on your desktop for now. I would then try deleting your account and then setting it up again.
Who is your e-mail provider and are you using IMAP or POP?

Why does itunes crash upon opening after the software update?

Why does itunes crash upon opening after the software update? Everything worked fine until I decided to update this morning and as soon as the computer rebooted, the error message appeared. Is there anything available to fix this?

I answered the same question in a similar post. It's all to do with the wireless sync.
I used the following method to stop iTunes from constantly restarting -
Open task manager
Select the 'Processes' tab.
Look for 'iTunesHelper.exe'
Select 'iTunesHelper.exe' then click on 'end process'
Hope this helps.

While watching an iTunes movie from my Apple TV, why does my movie stop playing at the 1 hour mark? I'm assuming I have a setting causing this to happen, but I have no idea what setting needs to be changed. Can someone help me?

While watching an iTunes movie from my Apple TV, why does my movie stop playing at the 1 hour mark? I'm assuming I have a setting causing this to happen, but I have no idea what setting needs to be changed. Can someone help me?

It's right at an hour (consistently), but the computer goes to sleep prior to that. It's as if iTunes goes to sleep. Also, it wasn't always this way. Originally, the movies played through without interruption. At some point, I guess a setting was changed, and now I only get an hour. Also. My energy settings are set to go to sleep at 10 minutes.

Might be corrupted preferences (.plist)
Open the Finder. From the Finder menu bar click Go > Go to Folder
Type or copy paste the following:
~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.image_Capture.plist
Click Go then move the com.apple.image_Capture.plist file to the Trash.
Restart your Mac and your scanner and try scanning an image.
