Cube won't process iTunes without an audio device present?

Hi.
I've got a G4 Cube with no built-in Audio inputs or outputs (don't have the original USB speakers), so Tiger shows up as having no audio I/O options. I'm trying to use iTunes, with Nicecast, to broadcast some music, but because of the lack of audio devices iTunes (6.0.3) simply won't play - the play icon changes but the time doesn't progress and nothing is processed.
Does anyone know if a way to fool the Cube into thinking there's an audio device, so that it plays and is processed by CoreAudio? A software-only audio device or something? Would rather avoid having to buy some USB speakers just to get this to work.
Thanks for your time.

Hi,
Don't know about software doing the job because it's a mechanical interface. Any sound output will require USB or Firewire devices. Griffin Technology iMic USB Audio Interface is one inexpensive way to 'trick' the Cube into thinking there are speakers. It costs about $35, Google for prices.
Just plug it in, the Cube will see an output, set sound pref's and the program will work. Later, if you want speakers, you can get a cheap set and plug it into the iMic.
Regards,
Dave

How to listen to itunes with grace audio device

Have you tried contacting Grace support?

Playing iTunes on USB Audio Device

I would like to output all audio from iTunes to a USB audio device I have attached to my Macbook Pro but leave all other audio going to the laptop speakers.
I've looked through iTunes (10) preferences to see if there is an option to select an audio device, but can't find anything.
I have my HiFI plugged into the USB device for playing all my music, but obviously I don't want system sounds etc to play over the HiFi.
Surely there must be a method to tell iTunes what audio output to use.
Anyone got any recommendations?

Here's a solution.

Playback won't work using Mbox as audio device

We were previously using Premiere Elements (we're on version 9.0.1) with a Digidesign 002 as the audio interface and everything worked fine. We have since moved that computer to another workstation with an Mbox Pro, and are having issues whenever the audio hardware and output are set to use the Mbox. Specifically, playback will run for about 15 milliseconds, and then stops. If we set Premiere to use the built-in line out, everything works fine.
I have updated the Mbox drivers with no effect. My hunch is that this also has something to do with having upgraded from Pro Tools 8 to 10, which doesn't seem to use Core Audio the same way, but any help would be greatly appreciated!

Welcome to the forum.
When Audio hardware is not working with an Adobe program, I first look at the ASIO settings. I suspect that you have already checked that out carefully.
Next step, when all setting ARE correct, and I still have issues, I install a free ASIO driver, ASIO4All, and set the Adobe program to use that. It has cleared up all sorts of issues with Adobe programs, with low-end consumer cards to some esoteric pro gear. It's probably the most often recommended "fix" on the Adobe Audition Forum.
Good luck,
Hunt

Will Newstand magazines be visible in iTunes without an iOS device?

Will it be possible to view Newsstand magazines on a Mac or PC within iTunes in addition to using an iOS device? This would be nice when not on the road...

i agree with Dave- we have had no inidication of that at this time. but all 5,000 of the zinio titles work across all of the platforms though (im the cmo at Zinio) and we will continue to be growing our offering along with the newstand. we are really excited to see the popularity of digital reading cotinuing to grow.

Credits missing in my itunes accnt on one device-present one a different on

i have credits in my itunes account(9.80) ; i see the credits in my imac upstairs once i log into my itunes accnt; downstairs in my laptop(macbook) i log into itunes and there are no credits in my accnt(on my laptop) when i log into itunes downstairs; can anyone help?; i have logged off upstairs and also downstairs and re-logged in-same problem; checked all settings; still no credits on my macbook laptop itunes account

Just to confirm, you're logging into the same iTunes Store account on both systems, correct?
If so, what version of ITunes do you have on each system? If it's not the same and the version on the problem system is significantly older, it's possible you'll need to upgrade your version of iTunes to get it to work properly with the iTunes Store.
Hope this helps.

FMLE won't detect audio devices

FMLE won't detect any of my audio devices even when I set them to default device. It only detects my microphone, and I've searched online for many fixes and to no avail.

Pretty much same issue. I usually have my audio device set to "what u hear" for streaming (on creative soundcard), so I can pick up both my mic and ingame audio. However a couple weeks back it just stopped registering "what u hear" and won't pick it up at all (even though ive tested in the creative console and it's definitely working), will only let me set to just my microphone. Have found no fixes anywhere =/

I've upgraded to OS 10.8.2 and my Bowers and Wilkins MM-1 Speakers were working fine until today, and now they won't play any sound at all, even though iTunes shows the audio is playing. I've tried both the headphone jack and the USB port. Please help!

Thank you,

Michael,
Thanks. I haven't mixed down the audio or checked the number of tracks in Prefs. Good points.
As far as a mixdown goes, I'll definitely give it a try, though I wonder whether or not the tracks will be recognized during mix down recording - given that you can't hear either of those segments in playback. Just have to try.
Re the preferred number of allowed tracks - I'll go check as soon as I send this off, but I'm not sure that applies in this case, since the two Channels containing the segments that are pinked out are not in additional tracks. I should have mentioned that other audio clips and segments on the same Channels in the SAME tracks ARE heard in playback. As are two additional track in the 2nd Sequence. It's only when the two sequences are joined that the pink tinted segments can't be heard. Within the sequence the same audio cuts playback as they should. Thanks again &
Best regards,
David

How do I uninstall or reinstall itunes when the itunes.mls file is missing and won't do either without it?

How do I uninstall or reinstall itunes when the itunes.mls file is missing and won't do either without it? Have done a search for the file extension on PC and two external hard drives. Doesn't show up.

Download the Windows Installer CleanUp utility from the following page (use one of the links under the "DOWNLOAD LOCATIONS" thingy on the Major Geeks page):
http://majorgeeks.com/download.php?det=4459
To install the utility, doubleclick the msicuu2.exe file you downloaded.
Now run the utility ("Start > All Programs > Windows Install Clean Up"). In the list of programs that appears in CleanUp, select any iTunes entries and click "Remove", as per the following screenshot:
Quit out of CleanUp, restart the PC and try another iTunes install. Does it go through properly this time?

I have an older Sony digital camcorder, and I am having trouble importing the movie files. Sometimes I get the audio in iTunes without the picture. I have a Pinnacle Dazzle interface. What am I doing wrong. Is there a way to skip the dazzle device?

I have an older Sony digital camcorder, and I am having trouble importing the movie files. Sometimes I get the audio in iTunes without the picture. I have a Pinnacle Dazzle interface. What am I doing wrong. Is there a way to skip the dazzle device?

Chances are the pinnacle is producing .avi files or MPEFG1/2 streams - iTunes may know how to decode the audio but not the video. Download Handbrake and try running the Pinnacle files through it and adding to iTunes - use Universal format unless you have a specific device in mind.
Keep copies of the originals.
Another option might be to try to install Perian. Can't remember if the Apple MPEG2 plugin allows MPEG2 to be played in iTunes.

ITunes Opens, But Won't Play/iTunes Has Detected A Problem With Audio

iTunes 7.4.3 and XP Pro on Dell laptop. The application opens, but no song plays. It appears at the top, but stays at zero. It keeps saying, " iTunes has detected a problem with your audio configuration." When in control panel, it says there is no audio device. Already checked it as default player. Tried repairing and nothing. Is it a driver? The last time I installed itunes on a pc, about 6 months ago, it worked fine. Maybe try an older version? Any help is appreciated.

TS1538 Is there a fix for this? How can I get it to where my device will show up in itunes without having to reinstall itunes every single time?

To get my Iphone 4 to show up in iTunes, I have to uninstall iTunes and then reinstall it EVERY single time I want to connect my device to iTunes. I've tried just using a wi-fi connection and that won't work. It's very annoying to have to go through all that trouble of uninstalling and reinstalling iTunes every time that I need to connect to my iTunes account. I first got this phone in Germany when I was visiting my uncle who was stationed there, he had got the phone from AT&T here in the U.S. while in Germany connecting to his computer to itunes was no problem, it'd connect without any issues. Then when I came home back to the states, my phone would no longer connect to itunes on my computer unless I unistalled and reinstalled, but my computer does recognize my device when I connect every time just itunes does not and I don't understand why it's doing that. Is there any way to fix this? How can I get my device to show up in itunes without having to reinstall it every time?

The ipod is not a backup device. The music sync is one way - computer to ipod. the exception is itunes purchases. Without syncing: File>Transfer Purchases
Copy everything from your old computer, or your backup copy of your old comptuer, to your new one.

I can't burn a disc from Itunes without getting error 4280 repeatedly.

I can't burn a disc from Itunes without getting error 4280 repeatedly. I was just able to burn a CD and now can't burn another. Any thoughts? I know my CD burner works as I just made a disc. I have tried changing file type from Audio to MP3 with no luck. Thanks for trying to help me.

Hello Sonni,
It sounds like you are unable to burn a disc with iTunes due to this error code. I would first use the following article to check issues with the type of disc drive:

HOW TO: Install Itunes without Quicktime/Bonjour - Windows 7

You need iTunes without the bloat? Don't know what the bloat is? I'll help you. Now I don't know if this has been explained elsewhere, I only found some older topics and google results that didn't explain all the points required so I'm redoing it.
_NOTE: DO THIS ON THE DESKTOP_ (You'll see why later ;D)
First is the Preperation;
Get the appropriate iTunes (my instructions are from the point of view of 64bit but they won't differ all that much)
http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
Go here and download the newest one (at time of writing thats QT Lite 4.1.0):
http://www.vistacodec.com/fc/QT_Lite-410.exe
Please download/move/save these to the desktop.
The Extraction
Right click on the iTunes64Setup.exe [iTunesSetup.exe for 32bit]
Navigate to your extraction program, I'm using 7zip so I navigate to "Extract Here". I'm sure you can go it alone if you don't use 7zip (because more fool you)
Then we will have a bunch of exe's and msi's on the desktop, of which we now need to delete several.
This is the Deletion;
If you don't want both Quicktime and Bonjour, which I'll assume you don't because they impact performance and limit your control of media files, then you need to delete:
Bonjour64.msi
Quicktime64.msi
If you have an iPhone or an iPod Touch then skip this one point (though I have an iPod Touch I don't yet intend to use it with iTunes so I still deleted this, after all you can install it later from this single file). Delete:
AppleMobileDeviceSupport64.msi
Now this is an important one, all updates must be done manually in this exact same manner, just come back here and follow the instructions again, otherwise iTunes will include the bloat in the update. Delete:
AppleSoftwareUpdate.msi
(Ignore SetupAdmin.exe, because I don't know what it does :D)
Almost there, but first it's the +Linux Experience+;
In you're start menu there should be a "Command Prompt" shortcut, click it. If not don't worry, on your start menu click "Run" and type in:
cmd.exe
Press enter and Bob's your uncle.
Otherwise right click on your desktop in empty space, highlight "New", select "Shortcut" and the location is:
%windir%\system32\cmd.exe
When that's done just click the shortcut and Fanny's your aunt.
Now you'll notice that each line begins with:
C:\Users\YOURNAME>
That's because it's the location this terminal is currently navigated to, like a web browser or the plain old windows explorer, just text based though.
We need to change the directory you are in and the command for this conveniently is:
cd
And this is why I told you to do it all on the Desktop, because now all you have to do is change directory to the Desktop, which is one folder away. So, type this in the terminal (that's the command prompt window):
cd Desktop
You'll notice that the prefix has changed to:
C:\Users\YOURNAME\Desktop>
That's good
Keep this window open and move on boys and girls.
Next, the biggie, +Installation Part One+;
We're mostly borrowing from this lovely persons thread, so I ought to give it a mention:
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1704004&tstart=15
Now we follow the last step on the thread linked, in case you're a philistine here it is...
In that (command prompt) terminal window, type:
iTunes64.msi /passive
For those with 32bit i can only imagine it would be:
iTunes.msi /passive
Then just sit back and let it run silently until you recieve an error message pertaining to the failure of iTunes without "Apple Aplication Support", when this arises just click ok or whatever shuts it up and move to the next step.
Lastly, finally, is +Installation Part Deux+;
Double click AppleApplicationSupport.msi and just follow it through leaving everything as it is.
Then, remember that other download I got you to do? QT Lite? Well double click on that and install it. At the end tick the "Configure Settings" box and just tweak them to be supaqwik, like maximising the web cache or whatever. Use your judgment.
When that's done click apply/ok and... we're done!
Just click/double click the itunes icon and you'll see an improvement straight away.
Sorry if this tutorial was a bit too much like a Quentin Tarantino film for ya' but I gotta keep my brain from leaking out my ears, somehow
Enjoy, and if it's been done before I just hope it hasn't been done better.
I looked all over the internet and using the linked thread and some smarts; I got here, with you, and iTunes sans bloat.

QuickTime is required for iTunes to run. You can think of iTunes as a media manager "front end" to QuickTime which handles the actual playing of the media.
Safari was an optional install when I installed iTunes on my Windows system. I wasn't forced to install Safari. MobileMe is also no longer automatically installed, though it will update if it finds an existing installation. I didn't get it forced on me when I installed on my Vista system.

One tip: it will pay better dividends if you avoid ranting. Apple won't see your rants (except to delete them) and we, your fellow users who are with rare exceptions the only ones participating here, don't really want to be yelled at.
