Can't control iTunes with keyboard after 10.5 update?
Hi everyone.
I run Win7 Ultimate x64 and have a Microsoft Wireless Laser Keyboard 6000 v.2
The keyboard has a row of buttons along the very top to control media players; play/pause, skip between tracks, etc.
Up until I updated to iTunes 10.5, I was able to use those buttons to pause and skip between tracks in iTunes, but iTunes didn't have to be my active window - I could be, say, composing this post with iTunes playing, but minimized to the task bar, an hit a keyboard button to pause or skip forward.
I can no longer do that - I now have to actually go to the iTunes window in order to control it, or hold my mouse over iTunes in the task bar and I get a little back/forward/pause button that I can use to skip.
In any case, this is extremely annoying and I'm wondering if anyone else has encountered this issue and if there are any workarounds.
Thanks
rageboy04,
For issues with third-party software (software not made by Apple in this case), that interacts with Apple software, I would recomend contacting the maker of that application.
Often with any application that controls another application, whether it is iTunes or anything else, when one is updated, the other needs to be updated as well.
Thank you,
Nathan C.

Is there a way that I can control iTunes with the iPhone without any internet connections?
First let me say that I am ready to throw this POS in the lake. Is there a way that I can control iTunes with my iPhone without any internet connections? On my houseboat I have a wifi router and want to connect my phone to my computer to control my music which plays from my computer through my stereo. I can easily do it with my laptop without having to jump through any internet APPLE BS , but I dont want to have my laptop out on the deck. I just want to use the phone as a remote control.
Remote wont do it because it keeps saying Im not connected to the internet, even though is is connected to my computer. Same problem with JumiAmp.It should have an option to manage iTunes library without network connection, like Bluetooth or connect directly to the computer without a router or wi-fi, i live outsite of the city and i dont have the ability to control my iTunes librry from the iphone

I can't see apple store in my Itunes with windows7 after the update
I can't see apple store in my Itunes with windows7 after the update
aHi Markie,
It's not in the top window now, it's in the main section. When you plug your iPod in click on it and at the bottom of the window the Capacity pole changes as it adds stuff.
Is that what you're looking for?

These are the system requirements

5GB of available disk space

Some features require a compatible internet service provider: fees may apply.
If you can run Snow Leopard you need to purchase it

I have iphone, but I also have an Android can I use itunes with an Android?
Hello,
check out FoneSync for Android. It syncs contacts, calendars, music and photos with your Android device and features an iTunes like interface. So it is easy to use and fast.
Kind regards

I'm experiencing the exact same thing. Netflix, Youtube and everything else works perfectly, but I'm unable to wirelessly stream anything from my Mac, iPad, or iPhone. All on same wireless channel, all new updates, all have home sharing turned on. Never had a problem the last 2 years.

Can you sync Itunes with outlook for mac
Can you synce Itunes with Outlook fo MAC 2011?
Not directly. What you do is set Outlook to sync to Apple's databases (Address Book, iCal, etc) via Outlook's Tools menu -> Sync Services and then you can sync to an IOS device, which is what I presume you mean.

If you want to transfer your iTunes Media (i.e. Music, Movies, Podcasts, Apps, etc.) you can just replace the contents of your old Mac's iTunes media folder (User-->Music-->iTunes) with your new Mac's iTunes media folder using an external hard disk, dropbox, etc.
