Controlling Itunes 10 with G15 keyboard

I am trying to find out how to control Itunes 10 with my G15 keyboard while Itunes is in the background. It used to work in previous versions but has since stopped responding unless it is in the foreground

https://discussions.apple.com/thread/3063147
there is a .dll you can download that will make it work, but after 15 mins, it stops working. Used to work fine with older versions of itunes, so it's not the windows update.

  • Control 2 macs with 1 keyboard and mouse

    I have two iMacs, 27 inch 10.7 and 24 inch with 10.6. Side by side. The two communicate wirelessly using Apple Wi fi.
    I want to use one keyboard and mouse for both.
    I have downloaded "synergy" on both computers, however, attempts to control both have failed.
    I know that Apple screen sharing is an option, but I would prefer to use "synergy" or a similar program.
    (I vaguely recall controlling both computers in the past, but cannot recall how I did it.)
    Help? Control two Macs with one keyboard and mouse. That is my goal.
    Thanks.

    Try the software Teleport from Abyssoft. http://www.abyssoft.com/software/teleport/
    I just installed Teleport on Macbook Air and Macbook Pro and am now working on both with a single wireless keyboard and glidepad simply by dragging mouse from one screen to the other.

  • Can I control two Macs with one keyboard & mouse simultaneously?

    I'm presently the operator and head audio tech for a major Off-Broadway show. I'm running the show on Ableton Live 6 through a Mac Mini, using a MOTU 828mkIII as the Firewire audio interface to the console. "Show control" is basically straight music playback, plus arming and disarming loops, triggering sound FX cues, and stopping and starting playback. The show has been exceedingly stable, no real reason to worry - but the fact that I don't have a redundant backup system concerns me. Theoretically, I can use our Denon CD players to run the show off of discs I've burned, but it's only viable for me because I know the show; a sub running the show would be up the creek - and if we hit a snag and run out of loops, forget it. Furthermore, those of you who've worked with Live know that in a performance based/show control situation, you can remain in an audio loop indefinitely, without any worry of a CD running out of prerecorded loops. (This is a specific reason why we're using Ableton for this show - the music can keep "vamping" until automation and rigging give me the clear to proceed.)
    Considering that I'll be taking some time off this summer, I don't want this to be a concern for my sub(s), so I've charged myself with the task of building a redundant backup. Problem is, I'm not sure how to do it.
    What I've been looking at is a dual Ableton Live/Mac Mini/Firewire interface system. Basically, to duplicate what's running the show presently, and have it running in tandem while the main playback system goes to the house - but for both to be controlled by only one mouse, keyboard and screen, so there's no delay in the event of a crash. If one fails, I send the audio from the backup into the theatre. There would be no disruption of playback, except for the operator`s response time in switching to the backup`s audio output.
    Software like Synergy and Teleport let me share a single keyboard, mouse, and screen over two or more computers - +but only control one computer at a time+. And I've looked for KVM switches and USB "splitters" but they also seem to be toggle devices between one or another computer - which leads me to think I may have to network the two...
    Any ideas are appreciated, even the obvious ones, as I may have overlooked some or assumed some to be out of the question.
    That`s basically it - *simultaneous realtime* control of two computers from one keyboard and mouse. Both Minis performing the same task at the same time.
    Is there software/hardware that can do it, or can I network the backup as a "slave" that mimics the master?
    Thanks.

    Perhaps you could setup a parallel processing network:

  • How do I control itunes volume with my Apple Remote?

    Hey,
    I have been using the Apple remote for a while now, but recently i have got a airplay device, for which the volume from the mac can be controlled only by the itunes volume slider and not the mac volume.
    can someone please guide as to how i can change the itunes volume with the remote?

    I don't know how to do it with the actual silver Apple Remote. However with the Remote app on you phone then the volume control is at the bottom just like normal. When you use the Airplay symbol to send the content to the airplay device say Apple TV you can use the volume slider to control the volume.

  • How control tempo fader with midi keyboard

    hi,
    i added a tempo fader in the environment window.  what are the steps to control it with a nob on my midi controller?
    thanks,
    dave

    Hi
    There are several steps in this process:
    1) Since you want to control the Tempo Fader with in-coming MIDI messages, you need to connect the fader somewhere between the Physical Input and Sequencer Input  objects in the Clicks and Ports layer.
    2) By default, this fader is set to respond to incoming PitchBend messages (see above), so it should work straight away. If you wish to control this fader with some other MIDI message, you need to determine the exact message (MIDI CC usually) transmitted by your controller. The "Input View" object (or the main Transport should help here.
    3) Then you need to assign these values in the object inspector 'Input settings"
    Most of this is described in the manual p1040 under "Using the Tempo Fader".

  • Itunes 10.4 & G15 keyboard

    When i upgraded to 10.4 on Itunes the media  buttons on my G15 stopped working from the background any ideas?

    I'm having the exact same problem.
    Updated to iTunes 10.4.0.80 from previous release version, and my Logitech G15 (Version 2) media keys (play/pause, stop, forward, backward) all stopped working when iTunes is in the background. They still work when iTunes is in the foreground. Volume keys still work to adjust system volume as expected.
    I was not using any plugins to make the media keys function from the background in iTunes before, so the failure is not due to a broken plugin. Running iTunes as administrator had no effect.

  • Why can't I control iTunes windowless with the hotkeys?

    You can no longer control Playback options while the window is closed while having the program selected.
    This is really annoying.
    How do I go back to version 9.2 again?

    you might consider to switch to the Mini Player (cmd-Shift-M)  instead of closing the Window. The Mini Player reacts to the play back controls.

  • Flash movie where the presenter can control the stops with a keyboard key.

    First to thank all
    I do not know how to insert an animation stops to give the presenter time and forward or backward in a linear and PowerPoint by pressing any key.
    Similar to typical PPT slideshows and will insert a small clip light and animation films. "My idea is that every time they click on any key (no button) on the film, forward motion up to a certain frame and so on until the end of the
    presentation "
    Thank you all devote your valuable time.

    use the Key (as2) or Keyboard (as3) class.  it has what you need.

  • 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?

  • Itunes 7.1 not working with my keyboard

    I have a G15 keyboard and when I push play when it is minimized it will not play I have to hold the button down to let it play and when i let go it stops, same goes for when i try and press stop. Does anyone else have the problem and if so did you fix it?

    Heh, I'm having the same problem with my Gateway MX6958 notebook... I press Fn+Mute (Home Key) and it it muted as I hold it down, but as soon as I let go, it is unmuted. Quitting out of iTunes makes my mute key functional.
    I've tried everything and can't fix it... it's just a matter of time, waiting for the new version of iTunes w/ a bug fix.

  • Controlling more aspects of iTunes from an iMac keyboard...

    Hi All,
    I've recently switched to using AirPlay to control my home stereo with a Marantz AV7005 pre-amp, and using an Airport Express in my bedroom. I used to use Squeezeboxes, but really like the way that AirPlay works, and love the remote app on my iDevices...
    Question: So from my iMac keyboard, can I control more then just previous track, play, and next track if I don't go into iTunes? I'd love to be able to control the remote volume, for example, without first going into iTunes to do it...
    Any guide to this? I found the Apple page that shows shortcuts to controlling iTunes when you have it as the currently selected app, but my question is a bit different from that.
    - Thanx in advance!
    - Jon

    It would help to know the exact computer you have. For instance, on my MacBook Pro, the keyboard offers function keys that perform some of the basic iTunes controls. Depending on your computer and keyboard, you may or may not have something similar.
    I think there a few third-party apps out there that will also do this. I believe I used to have iControl, which worked fine. (I no longer need it with the new MacBook.) You might also find this helpful: http://hints.macworld.com/article.php?story=20021121043446531

  • I have a Text control string box with some initial text. I would like to highlight old text with click of mouse and type in new data from keyboard

    I have a text control string box with some initial text (says: Please enter Name). I would like the operator to click on the text control box and have it automatically highlight so that when new data is typed in the old erases (all at once) and the new data is now in the text box.
    I tried using the "Text.Selection" property node and when I run it and put the mouse inside the text box the initial text is highlighted and if I press "delete" on the keyboard or if I start to type in new data the initial data does delete but once I start to type new characters they erase each other. For example if I want to type in “Willi
    am” I type the “W” and then the “I” but the “I” erases the “W” and now I am only left with an “I” in the text box and so on. I appreciate any help

    It seems you are continuously setting the property node over and over again. This should only happen once if you mouse over it.
    Create a property node for your text control with the following three items:
    (1) KeyFocus (wire a "true" constant to it)
    (2) Text.SelStart (Wire a "zero" constant to it)
    (3) Text.SelEnd (Wire a constant containing the string length of the text).
    Put this property node inside an event structure, triggered by "Mouse enter" on the string control.
    (see if the attached example works for you)

  • External display's brightness can no longer be controlled with external keyboard in 10.8.2

    I can no longer control external display's brightness with external keyboard.
    Until now my external keyboard controlled external display's brightness and MBPr's keyboard MBPr's brightness. Now the only way of changing external display's brightness is via Display preferences which is cumbersome
    Is there any way of going to pre 10.8.2 settings?

    I noticed that the keyboard and tablet were'nt working when plugged into a usb hub or monitor usb port.  I had to plug in the keyboard and tablet into a mbp usb port where they worked.  For some reason, after plugging them back into the usb hub they worked again.  Could just be dumb luck though.

  • 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
