After updating to the new iTunes, my Play/Pause(f8), Forwad(f9) and Rewind(f7) buttons no longer work (Macbook Pro 13")

Hi,
I recently upgraded to OSX Yosmite and the new iTunes 12.
After upgrading, iTunes no longer responds to the Play/Pause, Forward & Rewind buttons on my keyboard.
I am using iTunes on a Macbook Pro 13" (non-retina version).
Any help to get these buttons to work again would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks,
Rawbex
Edit: I'm also currently re-installing iTunes on my Mac to see if that solves any of the problems I'm experiencing.  This includes another issue that has appeared, where Google Play Music no longer recognizes iTunes. (Although, this separate issue will probably have to be solved by Google, not Apple).
Edit 2: Unfortunately, reinstalling iTunes did not solve or fix anything.

Hi,
I Found this post that helped me solve the same problem,
I has to do with Google Music taking over the same function keys. I uninstalled Google Music from Chrome, and now the function buttons function.
Media key: Play, Rewind and forward not working with iTunes anymore. Other keys work normally.

  • Hello after updating to the new iTunes i got a box saying that i needed a new version of Apple Mobile Device Support and ihat i should uninstall iTunes and Apple Mobile Device Support then install iTunes again.  I have been unable to uninstall itunes

    Hello- after updating to the new iTunes i got a box saying that i needed a new version of Apple Mobile Device Support and ihat i should uninstall iTunes and Apple Mobile Device Support then install iTunes again.  Problem is I have been unable to uninstall itunes, can't find the installation files .msi.  I'm using Windows XP. 
    Help!

    Problem is I have been unable to uninstall itunes, can't find the installation files .msi.
    (1) Download the Windows Installer CleanUp utility installer file (msicuu2.exe) from the following Major Geeks page (use one of the links under the "DOWNLOAD LOCATIONS" thingy on the Major Geeks page):
    http://majorgeeks.com/download.php?det=4459
    (2) Doubleclick the msicuu2.exe file and follow the prompts to install the Windows Installer CleanUp utility. (If you're on a Windows Vista or Windows 7 system and you get a Code 800A0046 error message when doubleclicking the msicuu2.exe file, try instead right-clicking on the msicuu2.exe file and selecting "Run as administrator".)
    (3) In your Start menu click All Programs and then click Windows Install Clean Up. The Windows Installer CleanUp utility window appears, listing software that is currently installed on your computer.
    (4) In the list of programs that appears in CleanUp, select any iTunes entries and click "Remove", as per the following screenshot:
    (5) Quit out of CleanUp, restart the PC and try another iTunes install. Does it go through properly this time?

  • My iPhone 3Gs is now no longer a recognised device on iTunes after I downloaded the new iTunes with iCloud software, but it does recognise my iPad2??

    My iPhone 3Gs is now no longer a recognised device on iTunes after I downloaded the new iTunes with iCloud software, but it does recognise my iPad2??
    I run both Mac and a PC and have iTunes on both, which has previously recognised my iPhone. I had updated my Mac with the new iTunes software with iCloud and updated my iPad2 just yesterday. I then wanted to do the same with my iPhone today, but my Mac wouldn't recognise the device so I tried it on my PC, which recognised the phone but told me I needed to update my iTunes and this in turn wanted to update my iPhone software. After completing all this and restarting, my iPhone now shows the iTunes icon with the USB plug pointing towards it, obviously wanting me to plug it in to my computer to re-connect with iTunes, but now neither of my computers recognise my iPhone and my PC states an 'Unknown Device'. My Mac doesn't even see it. Can anyone help as I really need to get my phone working?? Thanks

    Hold down the Home and Power button for 20 seconds. And try to update again.

    I have this issue.  Album artwork was totally fine before.  After this update, it is all messed up and even got messed up when transferred to my iphone.
    iTunes doesn't have the artwork anymore, but then iPhone has it but shows wrong artwork with wrong albums.
    Please fix!

    i was in 4.3.1 then i do the update , but now after update i face this problem , so what i Supposed to do ?!!

    Hi There
    Had the same problem as you. App would terminate when launched.
    Solution to working You Tube app:
    -Go to playstore
    - Uninstall app (it doesn't remove the app, only removes the update)
    - "Et Voila", working again.
    This doesn't correct the problem, it's just a workaround for you to be able to use youtube app again.
    Hope it helped.
    Best Regards

  • I am getting an error message when I try to update to the new iTunes version

    I am having issues updating to the new iTunes Version 11.4

    To everyone that is having this problem:
    I just ended a 2 hour session with Apple Tech Support.  We had to take it to a level 2 support person, but finally got it running.  Here's what she had me do.  Go to Control Panel, Add/Remove Programs.  Uninstall ALL Apple products on the Computer.  This inccluded Apple Mobile Device Itunes, Bonjour and Quicktime.  I doubt if we would have had to but she had me download a fresh copy of iTunessetup.exe and run it.  iTunes came up and ran on version 11.1.4.  Then I reinstalled Quicktime.
    It is my personal opinion that there is a flaw in version 11.1.4.  You shouldn't have to go through all of these hoops just to update a single application that was working fine proir to the update attempt.
    That's what worked for me.  Hope this helps you.  Any questions, get back to me.
    Good Luck.

    Okay , you should only delete EMPTY DUPLICATED folders, not preview folders or any others. I would put them all back. Then just delete any DUPLICATED EMPTY folders, do not disturb any other folders. On iOS switch off DOCUMENTS AND DATA under ICLOUD in SETTINGS. Do this on all iOS devices not just the one. Once deleted DUPLICATE FOLDERS on the mac in MOBILE FOLDERS then exit the LIBRARY. Open PAGES on your MAC and view folders on icloud. Check everything is all there as expected. If okay then DELETE and re-install PAGES app on iOS - THEN switch on DATA and DOCUMENTS in ICLOUD. Now open PAGES. If you have Time Machine on you can recover any 'lost' doc files and restore them from your mac from pages application. Try the process again and do not disturb any folders other than ones I mentioned as this is the system files LIBRARY. It is not a place to be over zealous in moving, altering and deleting folders and files. Take care please.

  • Can't Update to the new Itunes+Quicktime package

    I am trying to update to the new Itunes 10 + Quicktime package. The problem seems to lie with Quicktime. It fails every time. I tried to uninstall it, and it says "another installation is in progress" blah blah blah. This is even when I have just restarted my computer and have done nothing else. I followed the Apple troubleshoot which said to delete temp files, which I did and it still failed at installing. I'm not sure what else to do. I'm afraid to uninstall Itunes because I don't know if this has an effect on my music (will I lose it?)
    Anyway, someone please help me I just got a new Ipod touch, and I want to use it and this is so frustrating!!
    Thanks,
    Allison

    I get the same error message when I attempt to uninstall it "another program is being installed. Please wait until that installation is complete and then try installing this software again."
    Okay ... checking on something else you said earlier:
    Also, I checked on Windows Installer and it is running.
    Actually, that one shouldn't be running if an install is not currently taking place. So let's check on Services.
    In your Start Menu, right-click "Computer" and select "Manage".
    Expand "Services and Applications".
    Open "Services". Maximise the Window to see what is going on.
    If the Windows Installer Service is running, stop the service.
    Now right-click on the Service and select "Properties". In the general tab, make sure that "Startup type" is set to "Manual". OK out of the tab.
    Restart the PC and try another install ... any better luck this time?
