Windows 7 - iTunes won't re-open, won't shut down

I've still got this problem.... I've uninstalled and reinstalled itunes a number of times, different versions, and it still freezes whenever I try to close it.

I basically need it because I want to use the iTunes store (there's no real alternative here in Australia) and other ipod managers don't seem to work as well with podcasts and Last.fm

I'm so over it I hate it so much and wish I never bought an iPod.

Other companies can make their software/hardware work with other software/hardware why can't Apple????

Hello !!

Seems like it's quiet common issue. So i went around and did a small research on this. Most of them has issue caused by Antivirus / Firewall. ESET has it's own Knowledge base article for fixing this issue. Some of them got it to working by Disabling Bonjour service from Services. Also lot of issues with Last.fm and Outlook plug-in in i-Tunes causing problem. So i guess it's worth disabling it and testing it.

Hope this helps,
Captain

If you have still not solved this you can avoid the problem by just renaming or deleting the APSDaemon.exe file. This is ok as long as you do not need wireless syncing. To do it:-
C drive > Common file > Apple > Apple app support then rename or delete APSDaemon.exe
This solved the problem for me.

Thanks for sharing this mate.

Thank You.
this was the solution of my problem.
