Mini player always on top spoiled?

Hi there,
there's is an issue concerning the mini player:
When you start iTunes and (before) checked "Mini player always on top" it isn't on top. If you enter options it is checked, though.
So, uncheck -> ok -> check (using Ctrl+, to enter options) makes it always on top. But as soon as a track is edited (using Ctrl-i), mini player isn't on top any more. So again unckeck -> ok -> check and it's always on top again.
Does anybody else see this behaviour?

Can anyone verify this flaw, please?

  • Mini Player always opens in center of screen

    When I used iTunes on a Mac, I could move the Mini Player to another part of the screen, and iTunes would remember. With iTunes for Windows, the Mini Player always opens in the center of my screen.

    When I tell my Doc, "It hurts to go like this," he says, "Then don't go like this." So my cure for the Mini Player Blues is not to use it. No one seems willing or able to assist me, so I will solve the issue.

  • ITunes mini player on top of a full screen Safari page

    When you make a full screen Safari page, is there any way to put the iTunes mini player go on top of this page? I did this once by accident, but now whenever I try to open iTunes while in full screen Safari, the iTunes mini player opens to the main desktop page.

    Thanks for the reply.
    I'm listening to an audio podcast that's reffering to images on his sight. When you go full screen it shows the images best, but you lose the ability (space bar) to pause/play the podcast audio. It would be nice to be able to view and study the images a bit longer, but not having to keep futsing around with everything.
    Is there a way to get the Mini player in the same Space as Safari?

  • How do I turn off controls in the mini player?

    Hello, I have a question about the mini player. When I first installed iTunes, the mini player would only display the control icons when I moved the cusor over the player, with only the artwork displayed while the player was in use. Now, however, every time I use the mini player it always has the contorls on display. Is there a way to toggle the controls on and off so that they are only visible when I want them to be? For reference, the mini player always looks as it does below. When I first began using it only the artwork would be on display. I've tried reinstalling iTunes, but the player still looks the same (I did not do a full uninstall/reinstall however). Thanks for any help or suggestions.

    Hello moeszyslak,
    I would recommend testing to see if the issue is system wide, or user specific as the troubleshooting for each is different. Use this article:
    iTunes for Windows Vista or Windows 7: Troubleshooting unexpected quits, freezes, or launch issues
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ts1717.
    Create a New User Account
    When troubleshooting a variety of issues, it can be useful to determine if the issue affects a specific Windows user account or all accounts. Follow the steps below to create a new user account in Windows Vista or Windows 7:
    From the Start menu, choose Control Panel.
    Open Add or remove user accounts (If using the Classic View in Windows Vista, open User Accounts. Then open Manage another account).
    Select Create a new account and follow the instructions to complete the account setup process.
    Once the new account is created, choose     Log Off from the     Start menu.
    Log into the newly created user account.
    Open iTunes and determine whether the issue you were experiencing persists in this new user.
    If you see the same issue in the newly created user account, proceed to the System-wide troubleshootingsection below. If you do not experience the same issue, consult the User-specific troubleshooting section below.

  • ITunes keeps opening in Mini-Player format

    A few days ago I hit Ctrl-M (instead of Ctrl-N) and now find iTunes opens each time in Mini-Player mode. How can I get it back to opening in full screen mode?
    (I have already tried the on-line help and can't find anything relevant. Also, I have checked and the tick-box in Edit/Preferences/Advanced is NOT set to keep the Mini-Player window on top of all other windows.)

    Sorted it out myself ... somehow

  • Dock the Mini Player (just a good idea)

    It would be nice to dock the mini Player like the one in "Windows XP" so you can use the "auto hide and show” on the dock and not have the mini player show on top of other windows and get in the way. I just wanted to share my thoughts and see how you felt and if you have and programming skills to make this possible it would be great, or if some one from apple read this and put it in a update but I guess I can keep dreaming.

    I haven't noticed any slowdown since upgrading to iOS 5.1.
    I think some of the slowdown issues may have to with things like what capacity iPad you have?
    I have an iPad1(soon to be a New iPad owner) that is the 32 GB model and have not had any type of
    performance hit. I make sure not many background applications are running. I only have notifications turned on for certain apps and not globally. My iPad is a WiFi only model. Unless I need it, I, also, turn off Location Services.
    If anything, I have less app crashes, too! Especially either in my browser of choice or Safari.
    Many apps are more stable now, but also many app updates are bloated up larger now to accomodate to New iPad's Retina Display which the old iPad's can't take advantage of.
    IMHO, the update is very much worth doing.
    Have had this iPad for two years and this will get handed down to my girlfriend once I receive and setup my new iPad.
    The original still works great, but with all of the improvements and the fact that I really need the max storage capacity of the 64GB model for my creative and media watching/listening needs.
    It is ironic that a device and technology that is still evolving that the very first iPad would be now considered obsolete only after two years.
    At least the OS can still be updated and can run on the "original" iPad. That's gotta say something about how useful the original iPad still is.
    I figure my girlfriend will get, at least, another two years use out of this before she'll have to take the plunge and get herself her own iPad.
    My "older" iPad will be my girfriend's first introduction to Apple. She has never used any Apple product or computer in her past.
    I am hoping she'll like the iPad, over time.
    Sorry. Got a little off-topic.

  • ITunes always opens in Mini Player?? Help

    Can't go into much more detail except that every time I open my iTunes, it opens in the little mini player. I should clarify by saying this by saying that by "open" I mean run iTunes after it has been QUIT after the last usage.

    Hey,
    I am facing the same problem. Everytime i open iTunes on my mac, it always opens as the mini player on the left top corner of my screen(its never opened at any other position). Then i change it to the normal player with <shift>+<command>+m. Later, when i quit and reopen it, the normal window appears.
    I've tried reinstalling it but the problem persists. Is there any way to fix this bug?
    Using OSX 10.7.1 and iTunes 10.4.1.

  • Keep mini player on top

    is there any way to create a shortcut for keeping the mini player on top. i would really like to be able to just a shortcut for this option instead of having it be buried in the preferences. they could just throw it in the window menu that would be good enough so that we could create our own shortcut.

    It may be off the screen somewhere..
    Try changing the screen resolution to see if it gets pushed back onscreen.

  • Search Disappears from Menu (after expanding Mini Player)

    Hi there I'm on Android 4.3 mobile using Spotify version 3.1.0.1113.  The Search option disappears from the main top left menu every time I use the app. I have narrowed it down to happening right after expanding the mini-player from the bottom of the screen.  I can open the app and use it normally, but once I click the new mini-player (the new version that allows swiping to change songs) to bring up the main player screen, Search will disappear from the top left menu, leaving just Browse/Activity/Radio/etc.  I can bring back Search by closing the app and reopening it.  I have tried other 3.1 versions, including Betas, and this always happens. Any ideas? Thanks  

    After you search for the artist, *Ctrl click* the arrow after the artist name to see all items by that artist in yoru library, then play and open the mini player.
    Better yet, instead of search, simply turn on the browser (iTunes menu View -> Column browser) then select the Artist to see everything by that artist.

  • Mini-player album info stays no matter what, instead of fading.

    For Itunes 11.1.1, when I open the mini-player, it shows the album info on the top and play, pause, skip, etc on the bottom.  It's supposed to show that when I have the mouse hovering over the art. But it shows the info no matter what.  Even after I move the mouse off of it.  Once or twice a couple weeks apart it suddenly DID fade the info off.  But once I closed Itunes and started it back up, it happened again.  This is how it is 99.9% of the time. Any idea why?  I included a screen shot of how the info over the art always looks.  This is only how it's supposed to look with the mouse over it but it's always like that. I know it's an incredibly mundane complaint, but I'm kind of crazy like that and it's driving me INSANE!  Please help. 
    Thanks,

    Update: while command-clicking on the album art thumbnail in the mini player in 11.0.4 no longer launches the album art in a second, resizeable, window, it does work if you click on the album art thumbnail at the top of the expanded window (i.e., while not in the mini-player view).
    I know that I tried this in 11.0.4 before posting my first question last week and it did _not_ work then, so I'm not sure what I did differently today to get it to work, but today I have a separate album art window that I can resize to my heart's content, while still having the mini player showing me the progress bar at all times.

  • When I click on itunes to open it up, all I get is the mini player......

    when I click on the box to expand mini-player, it says there is an error and disappears. If I hit the play button, it starts at the top of my list, but I have no access to the library or the playlists.
    I originally downloaded itunes, and everything worked fine for a week or so. than this problem showed up. I un-installed itunes, quicktime...everything that came with the download, and re-downloaded the software, all to no avail. Still the same problem.
    I presume this is an issue with my computer, and not the software. I called apple support, and they were NO help at all.
    does anyone have any ideas as to what might be wrong?

    I also had issues with my 4S. I just got the 5S and can't get it to read my phone. It did it once and I was able to download my music, but can't get my ringtones and i have 25 ringtones that I can no longer get to after paying for them!!! Please HELP. It no longer sees my phone. I have uninstalled and reinstalled I Tunes mltiple times.
    Thanks,

  • Flash always on top in Safari 5.0.5

    Hi,
    I have some problems with flash in Safari 5.0.5 with Flash Player 10.2. My flash banners is always on top and covers menus and popups. wmode and z-index seems to be correct. It works as expected in the latest nightly build of webkit and Google Chrome, but not Safari.
    Here is the webpage, scroll down and you will see the flash covering the top menu: http://www.booli.se/bostad/villa/hisingen/plockerotegatan+16/786830
    I found this question on the same topic (https://discussions.apple.com/thread/2458855?start=0&tstart=0) where the problem was said to be solved with Safari 5.0.1. A test site was set up in that thread by user suastegui which can be found here: http://www.guru.ag/fl2/iframeTest/index.html. On this page the flash is still covering the other elements for me.
    Any ideas?

    BBC iPlayer relies on Adobe Air. AIR 1.5.3 is the last version of AIR that supports Mac PowerPC and Windows 2000. AIR applications that require AIR 2 or later cannot be installed or used on a Macintosh PowerPC or a computer running the Windows 2000 operating system.
    http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/853/cpsid_85304.html
    I am in the same boat. I cannot watch flash videos on the BBC website or on BBC iPlayer, although all other flash videos (YouTube for example) are fine.
    For reasons that passeth all understanding, they work with the PPC version of Firefox, called TenFourFoxG5.app, once you have anabled plug-ins, as it does not natively support Flash.
    You can download TenFourFoxG5 from here:
    http://www.floodgap.com/software/tenfourfox/
    Now for the intersting bit: TenFourFox, like Firefox, does not support most plug-ins. Unless you are prone to headaches (in which case don't) you can read about that here:
    http://code.google.com/p/tenfourfox/wiki/PluginsNoLongerSupported
    But there is a workaround!
    Open TenFourFox and type in the address bar: about:config (no spaces) and click return. This gives you a warning that it might harm the application. Ignore that and click on 'I'll be careful, I promise' and you get the config file that you can edit - with great care.
    Look/search (scroll down) for: tenfourfox.plugins.enabled
    Set it to true. (Double click it to toggle it)
    Now close TenFourFox, open it again, and Flash will now work, as it now uses the plug-ins that Safari has stored.
    I am using Flash 10.1.102.64 in TenFourFox and it works just fine.

  • How can I show album art in the mini player when playing songs from a plugged in iPhone?

    How can I show album art in the mini player when playing songs from a plugged in iPhone?
    When I play from my phone and switch to the mini player it's always showing the music notes in the thumbnaill. It'd be nice if it could get album art off of the phone.
    I'm on iTunes version 11.0.4.4

    He @mracole,
    it is very nice that you post a solution to complete the library with artwork for album's that do not have an artwork. Your solution perfectly addresses the problem for assigning artwork, BUT this thread is about CHANGING artwork for albums already uploaded into iTunes Match. Just try to replace for example a blue artwork cover for an album with a red one. If you made it in a simple way (without deleting the album from iTunes Match and local changes on the files with an external ID3-Application or 2 or more iTunes libraries on different Mac's) this is the right place to give a solution. I really tried for hours to change the artwork to make them visible in landscape cover flow mode on my iPhone5. In rare cases I made it, but then the covers sometimes where restored to the old onces - exacly how it is mentioned by Starhawk
    As long as there is no simple way to change the cover of an iTunes Match stored album (you can change title, artist and so on without hitting "update iTunes Match" over all distributed Library on different devices - this date will be synchronized almost instantly) I considered the behaviour from iTunes as BUGGY! For me the local artwork cache (and if there is any iCloud artwork cache - I don't know) do not interfere with iCloud. Even when I delete the whole local cache (album artwork music - everything) I do not manage to change the artwork.

  • Where has the song information gone from the mini player?

    I also hate the new iTunes 11. I could probably get along with its user unfriednlyness if they'd left the mini player alone. I like to keep this on top of my other windows so I know what's playing and how long a song has left to go. The new version removes this useful information in favour of a uselss mini LP cover that's too small for anyone to see. Does anyone know if there's way of getting back to the previous version without reverting back to iTunes 10. I tried this but it wouldn't let me because its linked iTuines with OS X.
    I\'ve never complained about an upgrade before but this looks like it was put together by a bunch of idiots.

    The new miniplayer also shows songinfo, but shows the playback controls on mouse-over (and hides song info) However! If you have one of the controls 'selected' (blue highlight) then the songinfo won't come up anytime. Try selecting the miniplayer and pushing TAB a few times.
    Probably because you have this selected: (old screen, but same option)

  • How do I have ONLY THE MINI PLAYER open when I click an Mp3 or M4a file? (Windows PC)

    I don't want the entire iTunes interface opening when I just want to listen to a song. How do I go about setting iTunes to open in JUST the mini player?

    Just to expand on Frank's answer: that's how Aperture works.  Stacks travel together.  You will see the same behavior regarding filtering in the Album that you see in the Project.  (Album is a container.  As with a Project, you can filter the Album container to show only items that meet your filter criteria, but the contents of the container don't change by being filtered.)
    This is why Album picks are so useful.  In Projects, the Stack Pick is the left-most Image in the Stack, and is the Image that shows when the Stack is minimized.  In Albums, you can specify an Album Pick.  (The default Pick is the Stack Pick.)  When a Stack in an Album is collapsed, the Album Pick is the Image that shows on top.
    Added the following paragraph:
    So you could have a Project with Stacks of bracketed exposures (an excellent use of Stacks), you could make the best of these the Pick, and then you could make an Album showing, say, the second best ones by putting them in an Album and designating the second-best Images as the Album Pick of each Stack.
    You should have no trouble creating an Album of your selected Images (in this case, you are selecting by "is flagged").  With Stacks collapsed, you should see what you seem to want, which is a group of the Images you selected to be in the Album.
    denke wrote:
    I want to make an album inside the project showing only the photos I uploaded, but I have not found how to do this.
    That the rest of the Images in the Stack are there shouldn't be a concern.  Why is it?
