Aperture 2.1.4 - iTunes media keys problem

Whever I try to push Pause/Next/Back, Aperture it runs the slideshow option automatically and then renders the previews..
How can I remap the keys in order to use the iTunes with Aperture?
The way it is now It's a pain in the ... . Apple lost it on this one

Well?
There is no solution.

Turn off iTunes Media Keys

I am currently using my Dell Inspiron 8600 with the latest version of iTunes and Windows XP Professional.
I know people have been requesting ways to turn media keys on, however in the latest version of iTunes it looks like Apple has started to support media keys on laptops. The problem is that iTunes does not steal away control from Windows.
The resulting problem is that every keystroke is counted twice, for example if I hit mute iTunes tries to mute which results in the system becoming unmuted, quite annoying

Another thing that I've noticed is that it seems to only be affected when itunes is minimized

Media Key Problem - N95 V31.0.017

Hi,
after updating my N95 to version 31.0.017 some strange thing happened - all shortcuts in the main window didn't work. so i restored factory defaults and all is well.
Except:
when pressing the media key, the icons load and the sound plays but as soon as it is supposed to load the background (fuzzy picture of someone and the sky) the menu closes and returns to the phone regular wait screen.
What to do?
N95-1 V31.0.017

Happens to my N82, too - the Multimedia menu closes immediately after opening. Happens by no obvious reason (though I've noticed that most often the bug occurs after playing MP3s). A phone restart fixes the things, though. Does restart help you? If not, you can write to Nokia and let them knwo of the problem (I think I've sent them an e-mail). Though it will not directly help you, it might urge them to release an update

N81 Media key Problem

i recently updated my n81 8gb to v20.10
and my media key is not working
tried restoring factory settings and formatting mass memory
also tried removing the battery
no avail and still not working>
any idea?

Hard format your mobile. For that, backup your mobile's contacts, messages, notes, calender and bookmarks via Nokia PC Suite backup utility. Don't backup anything else like settings or user files etc. Now backup your images, videos and music files using Windows Explorer. Now format your memory card and switch off your mobile. Now press and hold this 3 key "green call key, * and 3" together and switch on your mobile. Press and hold down that 3 button till country insertion dialogue appear. Now restore all your backup using PC Suite and explorer. This will solve your problem. If your problem is still not solved then now there is may be hardware problem. So go to nearest Nokia Care Point and give them your mobile for proper check.

Mac Media Keys Causing Adobe Fireworks Selection Tool Issues?

This issue has been driving me nuts. I've contacted Adobe support, but havn't recieved a response.
For some reason while using Adobe Fireworks CS5 the selection (pointer) tool no longer functions properly. It did at one point.
I have to hold down the mouse and pull the trap lines over any object to get it to select. Not very practicle when you have to select multiple items. All the other tools are working in a wonky manner as well.
I have tried reinstalling the program and running disk repair on my system. No resolve
I have read a ton of forums and users are mention programs like spotify that are causing the conflict. I dont have any of the know programs installed on my mac that people have mentioned.
I have also read that it is itunes media key functionality may be causing the issue?
I know this might be an Adobe issue, just thought I'd reach out and see if anyone has a resolve.
Thanks for your time.

Media keys won't turn off when computer shuts down

I've been experiencing a problem with the media keys on my P305-S8834 laptop running vista 64. The computer will shut down completely, but the media key lights remain on. They will go off when I start and shut down the computer a couple of times. This problem is recent. Up to about two weeks ago the shutdown was normal. Appreciate any help with this.
Solved!

Media key problems like that are sometimes solved by resetting the motherboard.
With the battery and AC adapter removed, close the Power switch for 30 seconds.
Re-attach those, press the Power button to turn the computer on, and then immediately press the F2 key while the Toshiba logo is displayed. Press F9 to restore the BIOS default settings, press F10, and then select Yes (Exit Saving Changes). The computer will restart.

Problems transfering iTunes Media folder from one external HDD to another.

Hey Yinz.
I'm running a MBP 13" 2.7Ghz Intel Core i7...OS X 10.6.8. Recently the NAS that hosted my iTunes Media folder and library failed. I recovered the drive from the NAS...a WD Caviar (WD2500JS), which was originally written in XFS. After substantial effort, I found a process that would enable me to access this drive, and have my Mac read it. This involved a Newer Technologies Voyager Q, coupled with a recent version of (whatever they're calling) MacFuse. It did so sucessfully. Now what i want is to take my iTunes Media folder and library off of the WD, ex-NAS HDD (its original location), and transfer it to a new HDD.
I bought a Toshiba Canvio basics usb 3.0/2.0.
Most online tutorials describe dragging and dropping the folder in the new location. I can connect both HDDs to my MBP, and the transfer will begin...
But.
After the first few minutes...The Finder will not allow me to complete the transfer. I keep getting an error code -8084.
I'm almost certain that the new HDD (which i formatted as Mac OS X Journaled in Disk Utility) is not recognizing special characters in certain file names in my iTunes Library. I have some artists in my folder that require special characters to display their names properly. I realize these were originally written in a Linux format.
So, is there a way around this...other than changing the filenames? I really don't want to destroy the integrity of my library by changing a bunch of characters that accurately identify artists. I guess if all i had was Billy Joel and the Beatles in my library, i'd be Okay...but i don't.
I also read a thread somewhere that suggested that error code -8084 relates to inadequate power distribution of an attached HDD. This also complicates my problem...as the new external HDD (Toshiba) is bus powered, and lacks an option for a dedicated AC power supply.
While i am able to access and use my iTunes as normal...i'm tied to that WD HDD, which is like, over 5yrs old, and i'm really hoping to get my media off that old HDD, and onto a new HDD with the files intact and accurate.
Any help would be much appreciated and welcome.

P.S. I'm running iTunes 10.7

No solid data here but it just seems to me that when I see issues arise about copying data and strange error messages that it has to do when people are using non Mac-formatted drives. I think they kind of work but once you put them under real pressure you just get problems. Maybe I'm just thinking of all those vague error -50 "communications difficulties" messages from people trying to copy their libraries to FAT drives. I wonder if using Terminal to do the copying would help.
Now, there is a difference between placing your media on a drive and your library on a drive. Your library is your whole iTunes folder along with files such as the critical library.itl file and artwork files, etc. Media are just what's in your media folder - music, movies, etc. If you are moving your whole library you can drag and drop copy. If you are moving your media you can drag and drop but then the new drive has to have the identical drive name as the old one (the old and new pathnames have to remain unchanged). Usually the best way to move media is to use iTunes' preferences setting to consolidate your media to the new location. iTunes very easily loses track of files unless you let it do the moving (exception: moving the whole iTunes library folder).
iTunes 10 for Mac: Consolidate your iTunes library - http://support.apple.com/kb/PH990

vs.
iTunes: How to move [or copy] your music [library] to a new computer [or another drive] - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4527 - a somewhat bewildering and not always easily understandable set of options.
Quick answer if you use iTunes' default preferences settings: Copy the entire iTunes folder (and in doing so all its subfolders and files) intact to the other drive. Open iTunes and immediately hold down the Option (alt) key (shift on Windows), then guide it to the new location of the library.itl file in the moved iTunes folder.

Problems accessing iTunes media folder on external drive via Mac

I have recently got a Mac Book Pro and assumed it would be easy to access my iTunes library - which I store on a Buffalo external drive and normally access via my Asus vivobook laptop running windows 8 - by simplying plugging the external drive into the Mac Book Pro, opening iTunes while pressing on the Option key (as I understand it is called) and then selecting the iTunes library .itl file when invited to choose a library. However, when I do this, I get a message saying that "the .tl file is locked, on a locked disc or I do not have write permission for this file".
If I click on the .itl file in the external drive via my Mac, it takes me straight into iTunes but, of course, without any of the content of my iTunes media folder.
I can access the media on the external drive when it is plugged into my Mac and am not aware of ever having introduced any restrictions on the library .itl file (I normally switch the external hard drive between my Dell desktop and my Asus laptop).
I have restarted my Mac Book Pro and quite iTunes etc. I also have the media folder correctly identified on the external hard drive in my iTunes preferences, Advanced Settings.
I would be most grateful for any ideas as to what could be the problem here.
Thank you (in anticipation).
Best,
Michael

Get info on the drive. Check the format. If it says NTFS it is a format that Macs cannot write to, only read, unless you install special software. It is a common issue with using Windows drives on Macs. "Locked" may mean iTunes cannot open it for full use since it needs to write to the library file as well as read it.
Your solution may be to reformat the drive to something a Mac can use fully too, such as FAT (beware file size limits with large video files). or trying to work with a NTFS driver for Mac.

I moved my itunes media folder to my public folder in my home folder so that my wife can share my music when she logs on as a user. Since doing this Aperture cannot locate any itunes music files and so I cannot add any music to a slideshow. All of my existing slideshows no longer play music. Can anyone help?
Thanks

Thank you for your prompt response - I did as you said and did a drag and drop into the iTunes window - it imported and got my album art from the net. When I started Itunes with the shift key down I was prompted to choose a library but since I copied over the media folder and not the library folder I was unable to select that so I guess I will have to create a new library and add in all the music, videos, etc. unless I wait for my laptop and export the library or at least that seems to be the case? In short, all my data (iTunes media folder) is on my external drive and can be added to the blank iTunes screen but I can not choose a library folder. Is there anyway around completely making all those playlists again? I am not sure my laptop will survive the shop with data intact and really hate to start over on those.
In an unrelated question - I collect old TV shows from the 1950's. Can I make playlists within the home video folder somehow? In other words like one for Quiz shows, one for comedies, one for police and detective shows, etc. while I am remaking all my playlists for my music if I end up having to go that route?
Once again thank you for helping me out. I am not too Itunes savvy and really appreciate you taking the time to answer.

ITunes 10.4.1.10 Did Not Fix Media Keys

Upgrading iTunes to 10.4 disabled my media keys. iTunes 10.4.1 claimed it fixed the media keys however, 10.4.1 did not!
I have the logitech illuminated keyboard and iTunes 10.4.1
My old setpoint driver 4.80 can control iTunes only when iTunes is in focus, not when it is minimized.
The most recent setpoint driver 6.30 cannot control iTunes in focus or minimized.
(No, I do not want to install "itunescontrol" to solve a problem that did not exist before 10.4)
The question is: Apple, can you please release a package that allows me to upgrade to 10.3 without a hassle?

EUREKA!
Some searching yielded a fix that works for me:
Open C:\Program Files\Logitech\SetPointP\players.ini
Find the line under the [Players] section that starts with iTunes
Your current line should look something like:
iTunes=wac,iTunes.exe,iTunes,xxx,xxx,xxx,xxx,xxx,xxx,xxx,0,1,iTunes
You want to replace it with the following (just change the highlighted text):
iTunes=wac,iTunes.exe,ITWindow,xxx,xxx,xxx,xxx,xxx,xxx,xxx,0,1,iTunes
Save players.ini
Restart SetPoint (if it’s in your taskbar, you can right click the icon and click exit.. then launch “SetPoint.exe” in the same directory you found players.ini in)
Looks like I won't be returning my ipod afterall haha

Windows 7, Microsoft Keyboard Media Keys (Play/Pause), and iTunes

I'm using Windows 7 Ultimate x64 and iTunes 9.0.1.8 with Microsoft Intellipoint 7.0 and a Microsoft Keyboard with media keys.
In previous versions of Windows, iTunes, and Intellipoint, pressing the "play/pause" key on the keyboard would play or pause iTunes -- even when iTunes wasn't the active application.
In my current setup, when iTunes is minimized, then the media keys don't control iTunes.
Is this a bug? Is there something I can do to fix the situation?
I've asked Microsoft for help, and they say it looks to be a compatibility issue with iTunes. So, now I'm asking Apple. Any suggestions would be much appreciated.

I have this same problem, but with Windows XP Pro. It MUST be a iTunes and a Microsoft IntelliType driver issue.
I JUST reinstalled my computer and loaded all new everything and the buttons worked off and on (depending on focus). I don't remember doing anything to make it work last time. The only thing I remember was installing a plug-in so my ATI Remote Wonder worked with iTunes.
I downloaded Chris's dll as suggested. Worked flawlessly. I hope Apple and/or Microsoft fix this in the next release of their software.

ITunes 10.5 and Microsoft keyboard media keys with IntelliType Installed

Hi. I just updated to iTunes 10.5 and the media keys (play/pause, back, and forward buttons -- the latter two of which have been mapped to previous and next track respectively) on my Microsoft Ergonomic 4000 keyboard no longer work when iTunes in minimized. It works fine if iTunes is the active window. I tried installing the latest version of IntelliType (v8.2) and the installation notified me that I already have the latest version. I had no problems with the older version of iTunes (10.4).
Is anyone else having this problem? Any solutions? Thanks in advance!

I managed a different FIX. This is just for Microsoft Multimedia keyboard (I have Microsoft 8000)
I uninstalled Microsoft Intellitype 8.1 that I had and then installed the newer 8.2 Version.
Before I did that I Downgraded to Itunes 10.3 64x like someone else said, but it did not help.
If this fix don't work with Itunes 10.5 then Downgrade like I did, It easier..No copying of files needed.
After you uninstall Itunes 10.5 and Install 10.3, it give you an error for your library.
So you press "SHIFT" and then open ITUNES.
then you go to "My Music\iTunes" folder inside your genereal music folder, it should be there. (WIN 7)
then to "Previous iTunes Libraries" folder and you should have a backup or and some kind of old "itunes Library folder" files...you choose one of them and Itunes opens fine with all playlist and everything.
Now everything workd find.
Good luck!
P.S
I after all this this does not work, might be because I installed Itune 10.3 before the new Intellitype 8.2.
So try Uninstalling Intellitype 8.2 again.
Then reinstall it...maybe it does things when Installing...I don't know.

I moved itunes Media around and now the problems

I moved iTunes Media to a D:/ drive, removed it back to C:/. There was a problem with the move back.
Result: iTunes now thinks that my ipad is synched with another library...
I can't see my apps or my stuff anymore.
Since there was a problem with the move back from D to C, I have files in both locations, don't know which one are important.
What can I do to fix this?

I used the trick shift when opening itunes to select a previous itunes library and things are a bit more normal.
But are they?

Media keys still not working on my laptop with itunes 10.4.1

Hi All,
I have a Dell XPS 16 laptop with the latest version of itunes installed and my media keys still won't control it unless I'm currently in itunes. It's incredibly annoying as I'm sure most of you would understand. Anyone else have the same issue or a fix?
Thanks

I used to have the old Logitech illuminated keyboard and I thought it was because of logitech so I bought a new keyboard. (There were several issues with my old keyboard anyways) I now have the Logitech k360 and the same issue popped up. The play/pause backwards and forwards keys do not work. However on a side-note the FN hotkey to open iTunes does work. I have reinstalled drivers, software, itunes, did some other stuff and they didn't work. It's not on logitech's end.
I just reinstalled to 10.3.1 and now I'm getting a message when I try to run the program saying "The file 'iTunes Library.itl' cannot be read because it was created by a new version of iTunes." I'm just going to uninstall and reinstall the latest version for the 3rd time now and hope Apple releases an update which fixes this compatibility issue.
I'm running Windows vista 64.
