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

For general advice see Troubleshooting issues with iTunes for Windows updates.
The steps in the second box are a guide to removing everything related to iTunes and then rebuilding it, which is often a good starting point unless the symptoms indicate a more specific approach. Review the other boxes and the list of support documents further down page in case one of them applies.
Your library should be unaffected by these steps but there is backup and recovery advice elsewhere in the user tip.

Hello there - how can I share my iTunes library between two users on the same computer? I put the library in a shared folder between both and have selected this library on both as well, but when I update iTunes with music etc it only appears on one?

Thank you Joe - I tried this but it's only showing a teensy amount of music - the stuff on the second users account as opposed to the giagntic library on the 'main' account. I actually went to a Genius Bar and they said that apple doesn't really want you to share music between accounts - parents don't want to hear their kids music etc. Which seemed strange, but it might be the case sadly Thanks anyway!

Control iTunes with microphone

I was wondering if it was possible to pick a song by voice. Thanks

"Allow iTunes control from remote speakers" Allows you to control iTunes with a _third-party remote_ connected to AirPort Express.

No longer able to control iTunes with my razer tarantula keyboard since i updated to v10.4

I have been using Razer Tarantula keyboard for close to 3 years. It worked well with iTunes all the time, i am able to control stop, play, next on my keyboard's built-in keys without the need to Alt+Tab to iTunes. Since i update iTunes 10.4, these keys no longer work.
Am i the only one with this problem? Are there any solutions to it?

FYI - I just fixed the "problem" and still havent quite figured it out other duplicating her settings then pwr off/on bingo
Interesting to say the least. Had everything to do with the speaker setting within System Preferences.... you tell me? lol Later

Cant install itunes 10.6 no matter what i try! (Windows installer package error)

I cant install itunes !
I downloaded the latest version from the offcial site, and everytime i try to install it it stops half way due to Windows Installer Package error. It says I'm missing a program required to continue this installation.
I've tried removing all the files with removal tools, running it with admin rights, disabling firewalls, User account controls, updated my Windows update to the latest version. Read all the threads and tried everything but it still doesn't work.
Does any1 have any suggestions?

Download and save a full itunes setup file.
Use Winrar to unzip the file into a folder. Then right mouse click the file AppleSoftwareUpdate.msi from that folder to install.
If you don't have winrar, you can go to this link to download a free trial version.

Moving iTunes and music library from one computer to another

I need to move my iTunes and music library with purchased music, playlists, ratings, and legally downloaded music to another computer. How do I do that?

Try posting in the iTunes for Windows area. You'll be more likely to get a quick and accurate answer there than you will here in the iTunes for Macintosh forum. Good luck.

How to use itunes with music all on external drive?

I have a PC laptop - with Itunes installed. I have a LOT of music all organized neatly on an external drive.
Itunes folders obviously live on the internal drive, but music is all on external (not enough room on internal).
I can dump the folder from the external drive onto itunes, and all the music is there - great.
But I dont ALWAYS have that drive connected - and sometimes I open itunes when its not - for my phone sync or to buy something
from the itunes store.
I have done this for years, and only in more recent years has this become a problem - when I connect the drive, it has lost all the links to the
music on it. I go into "preferences/advanced" - and tell it to look at the folder on the external drive - and it looks like its re-establishing the links - but it still does not. This only used to happen rarely - and I would have to clear itunes, then drop the folder again - but now it does it every time that I re-attach the drive after I have used itunes when it was NOT attached.
I have to clear all my musis and then drop the folder again - which takes a while - I have tens of thousands of songs.
please help!
Thanks!

Try to use instructions for consolidating library from here, see if that helps. At some point I have noticed, especially with huge library it gets hard for itunes to keep information about different locations, unless you have external drive plugged permanently.

Controlling iTunes with Media Display of Logitech G15/G19 impossible

Hi there
I own a Logitech G19 keyboard. But the Media Display won't be able to neither show nor controll things from iTunes. The display works perfectly with the Windows Media Player but doesn't even "exist" when iTunes is running.
I remember that this problem first occured after I updated iTunes. Unfortunately, I don't remember from witch version to which. At this time, I still had the G15. The change from G15 to G19 didn't make a change at the problem.
Now, the question is, why is that so? Do I have to change something in iTunes?
What shall I do?
Thanks..

I have the same problem on my G15 since updating to the latest version of iTunes (8.2). Previously I had full control of iTunes functions on the keyboard/LCD. Now, sometimes the buttons to pause/play/next track work, sometimes they don't. The LCD no longer displays iTunes at all, it's no longer listed as being a program in my G15 settings and I can't find anything in iTunes itself to make it come back.
So far this only applies to the WinXP Pro side of my iMac, I haven't hit up the Mac side in a while and therefore haven't updated iTunes over there.
I checked logitech updates but there are none.
So...what did apple do in this version?
Can we get some assistance?

hello i cant listen i tunes with 10.5.8

Hi sufishco,
Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.
It sounds like you may not be able to play audio files with iTunes on your Mac.
You may find these articles helpful as starting points for troubleshooting your Mac and iTunes:

After trying to delete all music from my iPhone by syncing to iTunes with music unchecked, all of the space formerly occupied by the music is now classified as "other" and is inaccessible. How do I fix this?

Every time I sync my iPhone to iTunes, it messes up my music and I spend 6 hours trying to fix my library and getting my playlists back and getting my songs accessible on both the iPhone and iTunes once again. This is a bit ridiculous. I thought a simple solution would be to just remove all of the music from the phone and then sync back the playlists I wanted. To remove the songs, I went to my iPhone from iTunes, went to the music tab, and unselected to box to sync music. I synced the phone, which should have removed all of the music - which it did, it is no longer on my phone, but when I try to sync the music back onto the phone, iTunes tells me that there is not enough storage space. When I look at the little storage bar in iTunes, the 8GB of space that used to be labelled as "music" is now labelled"other." so I have no songs on my iPhone, and I can't put them back because it thinks the space is still occupied - and it shouldn't be. How do I reclaim the space without doing a hard reset without restoring a backup? That seems to be the default solution to all problems with Apple products, but is really not an acceptable solution - there has to be a better way.

Why? That's the *best* way. Have you actually tried it, and determined that the corruption is in the backup file?

Cant start iTunes with Windows Vista installed

I have a problem starting the application iTunes. When i start i get a message that the folder iTunes cant be created, and the program have to use this folder to work. Vhen i press "OK" the program is closing.

Apple, apparently, had a fix up for an earlier version of itunes, but that is gone from the web page, and has been yanked.
Yes, there are big problems with iTunes for Windows. Until these are rectified, your Ipod will be a paper weight.
