Enable keyboard navigation - mini player

it seem that the enable keyboard navigation in the preferences can never be unchecked. i'm tired to seeing the title of the song while using the mini player. i've unchecked the box and it goes back to being checked each time i use the mini player. any fixes to this?
i am running windows 7 and have updated to itunes 12.0.26

It is pretty unintuitive. I was in seeing a Genius about several issues today. Previously AppleCare had told me that this was NOT a known issue and that they couldn't replicated it on their mac. The Genius figured out pretty quickly that the issue seems to be only when iTunes is in full screen mode. If you take it out of full screen the player worked fine both on my machine and on theirs. They should fix that, of course. It shouldn't make any difference what mode you're in.
Thanks for the response. Hope this make some sense of it.
Cheers,

How do I enable scrubbing in the iTunes 11 mini player?

How do I enable scrubbing in the iTunes 11 mini player? I don't see a bar or any way to manually skip to the part of the song I wish to play.

I did notice this: If you click on the album cover artwork squre, yet another window opens—a square, frameless window that shows a scrubber when you move your mouse over it. There's still no way to just glance at the window and see your current position within the track, though. You have to hover your mouse over that square window (which lacks an obvious name within iTunes).

ITunes 7.3 - Mini Player in Taskbar no longer works

The buttons on my Taskbar Mini Player no longer work after upgrading to iTunes 7.3. The Mini Player shows up fine, but the "Play" button appears even while music is playing (when it should switch over to "Pause"). Nothing happens when you click on any of the buttons, even though it shows the buttons being depressed in the normal manner. When I deactivate the Mini Player through the toolbar menu on the Taskbar, iTunes disappears from my desktop, though the music keeps playing (I have to force quit to close the program).
Anyone else having this issue?
Windows XP Pro

Kakairo,
This is very odd. Can you try this:
1. Remove iTunes in Control Panel > Add or Remove Programs.
2. Choose Run... from the Start Menu.
3. Type cmd and click OK.
A cmd.exe window will appear
4. Drag the iTunesSetup.exe from the Desktop into the cmd.exe window
5. Then type one trailing space
Copy and paste this text into the cmd window:
/l*v C:\log.txt
6. Press Enter on the keyboard.
This will start the iTunes installer with full logging enabled. After the installation is complete, a file named log.txt will be created on your C: drive. Please email me that file. Please include a link to this Discussions thread in your email, so I can keep everything straight.

ITunes starts in mini-player

Finally discovered I could click Window/Zoom to bring up the full iTunes screen, but then when I quit and start up again, we are rightback to the mini player. I have looked in preferences and cannot find anything there to change. I just want it to start up in full screen. I don't even USE mini player. HELP!

Keyboard navigation no longer working

Keyboard navigation (cursor keys, home/end, page up/down) within a textbox does not seem to work for certain sites - gmail for example. Navigation in other form elements, like input fields seem to work fine. When I downgrade gmail to use their "basic html" version, everything works fine. Which leads me to think there is an issue with my version of javascript....
The keyboard shortcuts for copy an paste (ctrl-c / ctrl-v) only seem to work within a input field tag. It doesn't seem to work within any other html element - this happens on all sites.
I am using Ubuntu 10.4 (64 bit) with Firefox 3.6.8.
Any help troubleshooting this would be greatly appreciated.

Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] to check if one of your add-ons is causing your problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Tools > Add-ons > Themes). 
See [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]] and [[Troubleshooting plugins]] 
 
If it does work in Safe-mode then disable all your extensions and then try to find which is causing it by enabling one at a time until the problem reappears. 
You can use "Disable all add-ons" on the [[Safe mode]] start window to disable all extensions. 
You have to close and restart Firefox after each change via "File > Exit" (Mac: "Firefox > Quit"; Linux: "File > Quit")

Alright why oh why can't I switch between iTunes details and mini player?

Ok I like the new format, separation of the iTunes store makes it a great media player. However the with the new iTunes application what Neanderthal decided not to use the green button to switch between listing and viewing and the mini player, instead it's a trip to the keyboard OR stupidly switching between a big screen layout and a not so big layout,... useless!
I use itunes as follows open application select music, settings and then set to mini player and get on with what I'm doing, at least let us choose the behaviour it has when clicking the green button,... please,...

The only fix at the moment is to hold the option key when clicking the green button.
Send Apple your feedback and this might get fixed: http://www.apple.com/feedback/itunesapp.html

ITunes mini player and Spaces

I am a big fan of using Spaces to clean up my workflow, but I have one minor quibble/question. I would like to display the iTunes mini player (the one you get by pressing the green button in iTunes twice) in ALL of my spaces. That way I can pause, fastforward, etc no matter what Space I'm working in.I don't really want to assign iTunes to ALL spaces to accomplish this. Any thoughts?

There are a number of utilities that will put Icons for Rew|Play/Pause|Fwd on the menu bar, or you can use the keyboard on most modern Macs with designated assignments for these functions on F7, 8 and 9.
Not exactly what you want, but like you, it's what I have to make do with.

ITunes Mini Player

Yesterday I made my own account on Windows (W7) so I had to download iTunes. The other account I was using before I made one of my own has a revamped mini player on iTunes which is version 11.3.1.2. When I started using my own Windows account and transferred all of my music from the old iTunes to the other, it worked out fine. But now when I click on the mini player it gives me a totally different one from the other iTunes. Both iTunes are the same software 11.3.1.2 and everything is the same but the mini player. The one that I like is the kind of big one that shows the album cover and its about the size of a cube. The one that I have now is very tiny and has a rectangular shape. I don't like that one too much because its tiny and doesn't show the visualizer like the other mini player does. Can someone help me out? How do i get the small but not so small cube shaped one back? I'd really appreciate it. thanks in advance!

A few questions to start off. What version of iTunes are you on? And if you try pressing ctrlcommandZ, what happens? That's the keyboard shortcut for that.

How do I turn off artwork in iTunes Mini player 11.0.4?

I have been very vocal in mourning the loss of Cover Flow but now I've given iTunes 11 a second chance on my MacBook Pro.
The most irritating thing is the Mini Player is no longer 'mini'. How can I turn off artwork display when in mini mode? The whole point of this is to enable iTunes control whilst working, but having a big square displaying album artwork is just counter-productive.
I just want the option of a minimalist player when working.
Thanks,
Rich

Ah right, thank you!
I had the box with the artwork as small as possible and couldn't see the other artwork bottom left!

Mini player won't come up.

My option for the itunes 11 mini player is grayed out and won't come up with the keyboard short cut. Any ideas?

Keyboard navigation

I have just installed Revel on my Mac and I'm puzzled by the lack of keyboard navigation. The Page Up / Page Down keys are not enabled! Same for the Home / End.
Surely this must be trivial to implement?

Ever try to recycle a computer?

Paper can be recycled twice, electricity cannot. I can use the paper manual as often as I like without additional costs to the environment. Every time I need to refer to the manual my computer has to be on, the router has to be on, my modem has to be on. Traffic flows through the cable, is interpreted by the ISP, and is sent, via packets, through numerous servers, all requiring electricity, which has to be generated, coal or gas used to generate it. You would be surprised at the amount of energy used just to format and send this response.

Mini Player Add-ons

I have always used iTunes and one thing I think its missing something wmp has.
When you use the mini player for wmp when ever it goes to the next song a little thing pops up and tells you what song is being played, then it goes away after a few seconds.
Is there anyway to get this on the itunes miniplayer?
Maybe something I have to download or enable?

That isn't something builtin to iTunes. However, you can probably find a Yahoo! widget that does what you want:

Mini MINI player??

Ok, I use the mini player all the time. For a while, when the mini player was up, and I clicked to minimize it to microsoft toolbar, it would go to mini player in the tool bar. Like, instead of just saying "Itunes" in the tool bar, there were buttons to skip a song, go back, and play/pause.
It stopped doing that a few weeks ago, and I was wondering if anyone knows how to do that???

Do Ctrl+M on iTunes, or go to Advanced>Switch to

I've often thought there really ought to be a button to minimize - I know it isn't such a big deal using the keyboard shortcut or the menu option, but it's something I do a lot and a button would often be more convenient ...
The minimini player idea sounds cool but I'm not sure how much use of it I'd make - just mini is enough

Scrubber bar gone from mini-player?

I used to like to keep just the minimized window on my desktop instead of the full window, but I'd still have access to the scrubber bar. It seems now that the mini-player doesn't have a scrubber bar anymore. Is there any setting to turn this back on?

Have you tried right-clicking inside the task bar field (in an empty space around the computer clock) - tools and enable iTunes?
Also If enabled:
Edit > Prefrences > Advanced > disable 'Minimize iTunes Window to system tray'

When I click on itunes to open it up, all I get is the mini player......

when I click on the box to expand mini-player, it says there is an error and disappears. If I hit the play button, it starts at the top of my list, but I have no access to the library or the playlists.
I originally downloaded itunes, and everything worked fine for a week or so. than this problem showed up. I un-installed itunes, quicktime...everything that came with the download, and re-downloaded the software, all to no avail. Still the same problem.
I presume this is an issue with my computer, and not the software. I called apple support, and they were NO help at all.
does anyone have any ideas as to what might be wrong?

I also had issues with my 4S. I just got the 5S and can't get it to read my phone. It did it once and I was able to download my music, but can't get my ringtones and i have 25 ringtones that I can no longer get to after paying for them!!! Please HELP. It no longer sees my phone. I have uninstalled and reinstalled I Tunes mltiple times.
Thanks,
Shan
