Controlling songs while it is in the dock?

Are there any keyboard shortcuts to pause, skip songs, etc. while iTunes is playing music while it is in the dock?
Thanks.

Media Mike,
I don't have any first had experience with them, but there are a few third party apps that put iTunes controls in the menu bar.

Restart current song while iTunes is not the current active app

In prior iTunes 11 / Mtn. Lion when using an Apple keyboard the F7 key when pressed would re-start a song that was playing with one press, and go to the previous with 2. This functionality has changed so that now it will go to the previous track with one press.
Is there a way to change the functionaly back or, add a separate key command that allows me to restart the current song when iTunes is not the currently active app?
Thanks!

I have a SteelSeries Shift keyboard, and experienced the same problem after updating to 10.4.
Found this little piece of software to fix the problem for me:
http://code.google.com/p/hktunes/
It's not ideal, as it has to run in the system tray in order to work, but it's way better than being without the functionality of the hotkeys, untill the problem is fixed.
Hope this works for you guys as well!

Trying to download a British song while I'm in the US, is there a way to do this ?

Hi, I am from the US and I tried downloading a song on my iphone from the uk, it told me that I cannot make the purchase because I am not from that country...I tried changing the country/region option but it told me I had to get rid of my credit balance which I am certainly not doing. Someone please help me out and tell me why people can't make purchases from other countries. Thank you.

" it told me that I cannot make the purchase because I am not from that country."
And it is 100% correct. Youc annot use other countries itunes stores.
Sorry
"Someone please help me out and tell me why people can't make purchases from other countries."
Because Itunes store terms of service agreement does not allow it.
From the U.K itunes store:
"The Service is available to you only in the United Kingdom. You agree not to use or attempt to use the Service from outside this location. iTunes may use technologies to verify your compliance."

Position controls (casing) while in fullScreen at the bottom of the screen

Hi,
I need to be able to position the controls at the very bottom of the screen and have the controls stretch from left to right - anyone know the code to acheive this?
Having looked up Capabilities in the Help - totally confused me
Kind Regards,
Boxing Boom

Hi,
No not publishing at 100% x 100% and not using a scaleMode - full screen takeover is set to false. Just need a way to align the controls to stretch along the bottom while in full screen mode. The controls are in a separate mc - would the scaleX help me out here?
Kind Regards,

I lost all my songs while having this error "the ipod cannot be synced. a duplicate filename was specified"

I checked my ipod in the "My Computer", I think it still has the songs since it has still 5.6 GB that is used. But, when I operate my ipod nano 4th generation, there are 0 songs, and 0 videos. Please help.

Find yourself a local Linux geek, there is software that can be used to recover your music off the Nano.

it works fine for HoverMenu Extender, and for the delete button as well. When I click on Delete Button It finds CommandArgument value But as I click on Edit Button It does not find CommandArguement value. Kindly help me to fix this problem

Do you mean it's firing when you click Edit?. I've replicated your code as below and it worked, try to remove the OnRowCommand run a build and then add the it again:
protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
BindGridwithDummy();
protected void GridMainCat_RowCommand(object sender, GridViewCommandEventArgs e)
string catID = e.CommandArgument.ToString();
if (e.CommandName == "Edt" && e.CommandArgument != null)
if (e.CommandName == "Dlt")
private void BindGridwithDummy()
DataTable dt = new DataTable();
DataRow dr;
dt.Columns.Add(new System.Data.DataColumn("Test", typeof(String)));
dr = dt.NewRow();
dr[0] = "A dummy Data"; //Adds the Dummy Data in the Row
dt.Rows.Add(dr);
// Show the DataTable values in the GridView
GridView1.DataSource = dt;
GridView1.DataBind();

I can control quicktime player files only from the dock, my mouse does not not close it, and when selected the window fades below the finder or other opened apps.

Does anybody have encountered this problem, and if so, do you have a solution I could benefit from?
Thanks

What Windows version?

Volume control problem with 30GB iPod 3G, Universal Dock, and Apple Remote

I just hooked up my 30GB iPod 3G to the Universal Doc and tried the my new Apple remote. The only buttons on the remote that work in controlling my iPod while on the dock are the play/pause and the skip forward and back buttons.
For some reason the volume up and down buttons don't adjust the volume on my iPod while it's on the dock. Any ideas? Shouldn't the volume up and down work? Or do they only work on the newer iPods?
Any info appreciated.

btabz,
Thanks for your response. No the iPod doesn't respond at all--the volume display doesn't come up or change.
When I press the play/pause or either skip forward or back on the remote, the iPod, while on the dock, lights up and responds to the command as it should. But when I press volume up or down on the remote the iPod does not respond at all.
According to Apple's store info on the remote, the volume up/down controls should work. I am wondering if maybe it doesn't work with the 3Gs for some reason. But if that is the case, Apple should indicate that. It is kind of frustrating to not be able to adjust the volume.
Thanks,

Hello,
I have the same problem when I sroll in Safari or Mail, Mission Control actions, Finder visual animations and the dock are blinking and very slow to appear.
I use two external screens and when I click on an other screen, they all blink together, folders on the destop disapear and re-apear few seconds later.
Other software or applications don't have the probem.
When I change user to guest user, the problem is the same.
I made a recovery from a old Tilme Machine backup, je problem was resolved but a few days later, it comes again...
Wait and see...

Can't drag files out of the dock folders/stacks

On Mavericks I'm able to drag files out of the folders/stacks I have on the Dock (Downloads, Documents, etc.) just as you would anywhere on OSX. But, for some reason my mom (Mavericks) and my fiancee (Mountain Lion) can't. I've tried checkin the permissions for those folders (in Get Info) and they have read/write permissions. This only happens in list view, not in fan, grid or automatic. Is there some hidden setting or something else that would allow them to be able to drag files?

For downloads, go to your user folder downloads and remove them there. Same for Applications. To remove alias from the Dock hold down the command key while dragging them from the Dock.
If that does't work, go to Finder and select your user/home folder. With that Finder window as the front window, either select Finder/View/Show View options or go command - J. When the View options opens, check ’Show Library Folder’. Then try a Dock reset.
Try doing a Dock restart using the following Terminal command:
killall Dock
Log out/in and test. If that doesn’t work, you need to look in your user Library/Applications Support/Dock for the .db. Use the Finder “Go To Folder” command. Enter ~/Library/Applications Support/Dock. Move the .db to your desktop.
Then try a dock reset.
Applications/Utilities/Terminal enter the command
killall Dock
Log out/in test. If it works okay, delete the .db from the desktop.
If the Dock is the same, return the .db to where you got them from, overwriting the newer ones.

Safari & mail Icons will not stay in the Dock?

Two days ago I noticed that both Safari & Mail icons were not in the dock. I opened applications and returned them, they just vanish, when I open them from apps they both work OK.
I have worked round the problem by using an alias and placing that in the dock. Any way I can get back to were I was?

When you launch the applications and Control-click on their icons in the Dock, do you see "Keep in Dock" or "Remove from Dock" in the contextual menu? If the menu says "Keep in Dock," click on that setting.
Forgive me if you knew this, because I can't tell from your description if this is relevant or not: Normally, application icons will appear in the Dock when the application is running and disappear from the Dock when you quit the application, unless you have set the application icon to stay in the Dock via the above method or by dragging the application file to the Dock. (Dragging the icon out of the Dock will have the reverse effect, the same as choosing "Remove from Dock," and I'm thinking that might be what happened that caused your icons to disappear from the Dock after quitting.) Creating an alias of the application and placing that in the Dock is a workaround, but shouldn't be necessary.
If the above doesn't work, something odd is going on with your Dock indeed. Post back and people will help troubleshoot further.

Terminal command to lock and unlock the dock?

Hello,
I manage hundreds of iMacs running Yosemite at a school site. I use parental controls with the lock dock feature turned on. I would like to periodically unlock the dock to customize it with new icons, but have not found a terminal command that works, or a streamlined process that is time efficient.
So far I have been individually unlocking the dock in parent controls on each machine, restarting, editing the dock, then re-locking it parental controls, then restarting. This takes 5-10 minutes per machine).
I also tried this command but it didn't work.
defaults write com.apple.dock contents-immutable -bool true; killall Dock;
I also tried cloning the parental controls with an exported plist file to all the machines using ARD, which works for all the parental control settings EXCEPT for the lock dock feature.
Any ideas?
Cheers,
Crystal

Sorry this is probably too late for you, but it may help others seeking this answer, I just had this problem [Mac OS x Yosemite 10.10.2] and found that the following worked for me:
1. Use Terminal to LOCK the Dock by C&P or typing in:
defaults write com.apple.dock contents-immutable -bool true
Then use your preferred method to Log-Out [e.g. Key Combo ⇧⌘Q or  [Top Left Menu] then select Log Out “name”]
and then Log-In again.
2. Use Terminal to UNLOCK the Dock by C&P or typing in:
defaults write com.apple.dock contents-immutable -bool false
Then use your preferred method to Log-Out [e.g. Key Combo ⇧⌘Q or  [Top Left Menu] then select Log Out “name”]
and then Log-In again.
NB. You will be solely responsible for your actions making changes to the Operating System.

Can I always keep the ipod in the Dock?

Can I always keep the ipod nano in it's dock when I'm not using it? Or does it take battery life? I turned it off while it was in the dock, and now it has a battery image on he screen. Does this use the nanos battery in any way, or should I unplug it from USB.

You probably shouldn't keep it in there for a while. It can overcharge, like a cellphone, and the battery won't last very long.
If it keeps showing the battery, restart it.
To restart, hold the middle button and menu at the same time for 10 seconds.
Try toggling the hold switch, too.

Install icon in the dock

I would like to have an alias of my home folder in the dock, but I want it to be the little "house". If I open my HD, navigate to users and drag the house icon to the dock, it "sticks" in the dock, but it is an icon of a folder, not the house that I want.
I did try to single click on the folder in the HD and "get info" on the file thinking I could change the icon there, but the icon there is a house.
I know I was able to do this on a previous machine I had, but I don't remember how I did it.
Thanks for any help.

do you mean it looks like a generic folder? first, control-click on this stack on the dock and select 'display as folder'. see if that fixes it. if that doesn't help try logging out/in.

Do you have "Shake to Shuffle" on?
