every now and then itunes refuses to quit, itll go away for a second then pop right back up. I have to reset to get it to stay gone any help? as far as i know its the latest version
 
you can force quit an application by pressing cmd+opt+escape.

As to why iTunes does that, is it downloading any podcasts or anything?
 
no, it isnt downloading anything

anyone have any help? maybe uninstall then reinstall?
 
Are you using any other program to control iTunes? For example a widget, or a menu controller program. In the past I was using a Yahoo widget the would restart iTunes each time I would quit iTunes. I had to stop the widget before I could stop iTunes.
 
I've had this problem as well
it seems to be an issue with importing from a cd, Was importing any cds when it happened, every time it's happened to me i've imported at least 2 cds before quiting it.
if you just want to quit it but can't and you are still going to keep your computer on for a while, just press quit on it a may times as possible, the window eventually won't show but it will be open!:confused:

This appears to be the most common reason for iTunes behaving like this.
