Enable "low color" mode in iTunes (no more Pink)

I use iTunes on a PC w/ Remote Desktop so I can control the music library from other computers in my house.
iTunes used to work great, now it requires 32-bit color.
Apple, can you add a preference to run in low-color mode and not turn pink?
Thanks,
Joe

Finally found a way to get more colors on a Windows XP host computer using Remote Desktop.

You need to enable 24-bit color (max possible under XP as a host) using group policy.
iTunes is Pink no more in remote sessions.

  • Lion low-power mode and iTunes client

    Potentially dumb question, but it may make a difference in when and/or how I update my home network for media...
    I understand that OS X Lion includes a "low-power" mode, in that it's a partial wake-on-LAN that doesn't wake up the display, etc.  I also know that an Apple TV can't stream media (movies, specifically) from an NAS type system without going through an iTunes client at some point (even if the NAS has an iTunes server built in).
    So, my question is -- does Lion's wake-on-LAN work in this sort of situation?  That is, if the computer is in sleep mode, but iTunes is running, will attempting the stream a movie from the NAS to an Apple TV "wake" the Mac to perform its duties, and if so, does it do so in the low-power mode that doesn't turn on the display?

  • High Contrast Mode on iTunes 10

    I have low vision and use white on black and magnification apps to use the PC.  How do I enable high contrast mode in iTunes 10.4 under Windows?  You can do it on a Mac by issuing the "defaults" command to set the high-contrast-mode-enable key to TRUE.  is there a Windows equivalent?  Or, are there skins availabe for people with low vision who do not use screen readers/  Thanks for your help.

    I have got the same question for Windows XP. More generally, most of the apple applications (paje, calandar,contact..) interfaces (itune, icloud) and web pages (forum, support..) have a low contraste or colours that are impossible to change.
    Any help would be appreciated...

  • Low latency mode doesn t work?

    If I enable "Low latency Mode" nothing happens, Ioaded tons of Plugins and set the limit to 1 ms....Shouldnt it bypass some plugins? Someone who knows the problem

    does it work for you?

  • Can't send to bus when in low latency mode?

    My colleague and I have almost the same setup, except he is running OS X 10.8.5, and I'm running OS X 10.9.4, Both are running Logic X 10.0.7. He has Apogee hardware (Symphony 64 card to DA16X/AD16X), and I have a UA Apollo.
    For some reason, this works on my setup, but not on his:
    Set up a bus send on any audio or VI channel, and assign the output of that channel to outputs 3-4 (outputs 1-2 are both of our main outs). The purpose of this is to send to a cue/headphone box.
    Set latency compensation to Instruments and Tracks (not ALL, setting it to ALL defeats this)
    Turn on low-latency mode.
    Turn on Software Monitoring (buffer is set to 64)
    Record enable that track.
    On my setup, I get signal on channels 3-4, on his, no signal as soon as record is enabled
    Auto-input monitoring is off in both cases.
    On my setup, the bus popup turns orange, but I still hear the signal, on his, it turns orange, but no signal.
    All plugins removed on the track and the bus.
    Weird.

    Bus Send is set the same on both systems, Post Pan,  Post Fader,   Pre Fader ?
    Good point, I'll check that
    Bus is set to output on 3-4 ?
    Yes, on both systems
    Bus level is the same ?
    Yes, similar anyway
    Sure you friend doesn't have any plugins on the master output bus  ?
    I didn't consider that - somehow didn't think that plugins on the master bus (which is outputting on 1-2) could effect a different bus. Will check that tomorrow.
    Do you by any chance have direct monitoring enabled on the Apollo, any input signal will be heard.
    I do use direct monitoring on the Apollo, but that is not a factor - it's prerecorded material we are trying to monitor, not input signal.
    Curious as to why are you running in Low Latency mode, it is for a specific purpose not something to be used in general recording/work.
    He is running on an older Mac tower and uses a lot of plugins and prefers software monitoring, and finds that he has problems unless he enables low latency mode. I usually leave it off, I just wanted to see if the issue was present on my system as well, and it's not.
    Thanks, will report back.

  • ITunes puts my computer in windows 7 basic color mode. It also does not recognize my iPad as viable video source

    When I start iTunes on my desktop computer, instantly it switches to Windows 7 Basic Color mode:
    "The color scheme has been changed
    The following program has performed an action that requires Windows to temporarily change the color scheme to Windows 7 Basic.
    Program: iTunes
    Publisher: Apple Inc.
    Process indentifier (PID): 3296
    Windows will automatically change the color scheme back to Windows Aero when this program or other programs performing similar actions are no longer running."
    When I close iTunes, it immediately switches back.
    THEN, when I try and move a movie I have recently downloaded ("Tangled (2010)" or "Tron: Legacy") to my iPad (1st edition) or iPod Touch, iTunes tells me these devices are not supported:
    "Tangled (2010) was not copied to the iPad "My iPad" because it cannot be played on this iPad."
    I get the same message with "Tron". This is only happening with the movies I have downloaded after February. All previously downloaded movies work just fine. I have found when I transfer the new files to my laptop and use iTunes on there, everything works normally. 
    New for today...
    When I plug the iPod Touch into the the desktop computer, iTunes locks up completely. I only get it back when I unplug the iPod.
    Solutions...
    I have done minimal talking via email with iTunes support. They told me to make sure I had the updated version of everything. I had explained in my original inquiry I had done that already. When I replied as such, I did not get a reply. I sent several messages explaining that I have deleted itunes all together from my computer and reinstalled the program from scratch. Finally, I received a second reply to reinstall iTunes.
    Also, I have tried several ways of moving the movies over to the iPad and iPod: dragging/dropping, sync, auto sync. I get the same error message every time.
    I am more than a little frustrated with Apple's lack of support and hope someone out there knows something that can be done. PLEASE HELP!

    Just curious, have you resolved your issue yet?
    I am working on a friend's computer that had the same issue and it turned out that her iTunes was set by some crappy program called TuneUp Companion to use Windos XP compatibility.
    If you have TuneUp Companion, uninstall it.
    Then check to see if iTunes is trying to run in some prior windows version compatibility and turn it off

  • HT1212 I have an iphone 3 which has been disabled, I've put it into recovery mode but itunes won't connect to it. I know the password but the device wn't give me the option to add it. What else can I do to enable the device. I can't wipe it from the cloud

    I have an iphone 3G which has been disabled after a child tried to get into it. Itunes will not connect until I have put the passcode in but the device will only enable emergency calls and does not allow a passcode to be put in. I have put it into recovery mode and itunes can't see it. There is currently no SIM card in it and it's not connectng to the wifi so I can't wipe it from the cloud. Any ideas how I can get into it?

    iPhones require a SIM for activation.
    Put the device in DFU mode (google it) and restore via iTunes.

  • Can i change the color of the iTunes 12 window?

    I'm running Win 8.1 and iTunes 12.0.1.26, although this issue has existed in earlier versions of both.  The color (gray) and shade of iTunes 12 is the same color as an inactive Win 8 window.  When iTunes is active and on top, its edges blend right into any underlying inactive windows.  Is there a way iTunes can be given the same type of 'frame' color or perhaps a different, more contrasting color scheme when it is active and on top?

    This sounds like one for iTunes Feedback.

  • Smartphones - Low Battery Mode?

    Just woken up this morning, and my battery's only on 2 bars... which isn't a problem in itself, but it made me think of an idea lol
    Wouldn't it be good if the phone could have an option to automatically switch to a 'Low Battery Mode' which would shut down all the fancy, battery intensive settings - bluetooth, fancy wallpapers & screensavers, active desktop, camera (or the camera switching on if the slide opens - the user must go to camera in the menu to activate
    I'm sure there's a lot more that could be done with that, but I thought I'd throw it open for discussion here and see what people think... I'm sure it would be a valuable tool for people that just want their phone to last longer until they can get home to charge it.

  • " 3 items could not be synced. See iTunes for more information"  I have searched and I have tried the solutions on the forum. My iPhone has been successfully synced without error and I am trying to sync with new laptop.

    " 3 items could not be synced. See iTunes for more information"  I have searched and I have tried the solutions on the forum. My iPhone has been successfully synced previously on my mac mini without error. I am trying to sync my iPhone with new MacBook Pro.

    Modular77:  With respect the dialog on the iPhone 'XX items could not be synced.  See iTunes for more information.' , would you happen to know where to look in iTunes?  I looked in all the places that seemed logical to me. 
    I am, however, asking only for future reverence, as the initial sync which generated the error dialog was done via USB, and almost immediately after the USB sync, I ran a WiFi Sync—two in a row in fact—both initiated from the iPhone.  Both WiFi syncs completed successfully with no error dialog. 
    I then ran another USB sync initiated from iTunes on the Macintosh, as was the first sync which gave the error. This second USB sync also completed successfully with no errors.
    I think someone in this thread mentioned non-AppleStore products or DMR issues which I think could not have been an issue in my case, as I was running the sync to install updated Apps from the AppStore, and additionally had deleted some music and movie items to make sure there was room for the App updates. Nothing was added other than the recently downloaded App updates from the AppStore. 
    iPhone3GS  iOS 5.1.1 build 9B206. 
              Developer Profile enabled.  iCloud enabled.

    Thanks for any info or advice.  Problem IS now solved, but it absorbed a lot of time to reach that point.

  • I have one playlist on iphone4. how can i add new playlist without deleting old one. i do not have old playlist in itunes any more.

    I have one playlist on iphone4. how can i add new playlist without deleting old one. i do not have old playlist in itunes any more.When i try to sync iphone with itunes it says that this action will remove my old playlist and all songs.

    "it says that this action will remove my old playlist and all songs."
    Are you connecting to a different iTunes library than you normally connect to?  That will erase the songs and playlists since the iPhone can't be connected to multiple libraries even if it is in manual sync mode.
    If you no longer have access to the original library that your iPhone calls 'home', then the only way to save the playlist (and the songs on your iPhone) would be to use a 3rd party application to extract your iPhone contents to this new iTunes library you're trying to connect to.

  • Win10 defeating my system's low power modes

    Both of these devices ran properly in their low-power modes under 8.1x64:
    1) Radeon HD 7850 2GB--For some reason after a boot up, 10-20 minutes later, my GPU jumps from its low-power clocks of 300Mhz/150MHz (core/ram) to full power, and shows 92% GPU activity and appears "stuck" there.  Removing all of the Win10
    updates did not alleviate the problem as I was hoping for.  This is the case regardless of AMD gpu driver used.  But it gets better...
    2) Not only is my GPU stuck on full throttle mode (even when doing nothing or else simply browsing), but my *CPU,* which under 8.1x64 ran fine with AMD's Cool'nQuiet power reduction modes (like Intel's Speed Step), *also* (at the same time) kicks up to *full
    power* although set in Windows to fluctuate between 10% and 100% on a demand basis.
    The only cure that works is to log off and then back on...which corrects the problem for about another 20-30 minutes before both devices go to full power again. Definitely something is strange in the Win10 Preview (which I upgraded from an 8.1 installation
    with none of these problems.)
    Now this may or may not be tied to the problem, but for some really oddball reason Windows10TP will not let me install two innocuous utilities I've used for years: CPU-Z & HWmonitor.  Win10 claims these application are incompatible with it--yet,
    these are only simple hardware identifying programs--and both ran without difficulty under 8.1x64.
    Suggestions appreciated...!

    Mike...Thanks for the reply!  This is a real head-scratcher...;)  I've used the last three drivers from AMD for the gpu--same result every time.  All clocks in the system bios (UEFI) are set to default, and my Win10 install is UEFI (not legacy)
    and the Secure Boot State is ON. All clocks are running at defaults. I also reinstalled the Win10TP updates as I determined they weren't the problem as it continued after I uninstalled them.
    Yes, C'nQ it is enabled in the bios (as I mentioned, all of this stuff worked like a clock under 8.1x64)...and that's the weird thing...Win10TP...operates exactly like it should in relation to the low power modes for around 20-30 minutes--exactly like it
    did in 8.1 all the time--and then for some inexplicable reason both devices jump to full power/full speed--as if something is running that demands the power/speed--but it isn't!
    I've run differing browsers with hardware acceleration turned off; I've run nothing at all apart from normal boot-up running programs, and it makes no difference.  Something is throwing these devices into max-power mode after 20-30 minutes from a boot/log-off/on
    having occurred.
    Motherboard is MSI G46-970a, UEFI version 2.6 (latest)
    CPU is AMD FX-6300 @ stock speeds & voltages
    8GBs DDR 3 running with stock timings and settings (2x4GB)
    HIS HD 7850 2GB running @ stock speeds/voltages
    I've all through the power savings options I'm using and can't find anything that might explain this--I keep going back to the fact that this never happened even once under 8.1, and I started with 8.0 in Jan '13 and have upgraded from there--never happened
    with Win7x64, either (same hardware, same settings.)
    I'm wondering if maybe I ought to be running the Enterprise version of Win10TP, but I can't really think of *why* that would make a difference with these symptoms...
    If you think of anything else, I'm all ears...;)
    Edit: BTW,  I am Migration User 1...;)  I hadn't signed in when I posted the original question--I suppose--although I didn't think I could post without being signed in...

  • Enabling Suite Color Management on Bridge

    When I go into Edit >>>Creative Suite Color Settings   I receive an error window informing me that it hasn't been enabled and at least one qualifying product needs to be launched at least once to enable Suite Color Management.
    I have opened Illustrator, InDesign, and Photoshop --- So why is it not enabled?

    What would be the best color setting for printing out large images? I tested the North America Prepress 2 --- and still had a little color change (the red coming out too much) Is there a better option?
    That is a tricky one and depends on many variables.
    Not familiar with NA prepress but it sounds more CMYK related to me. Your printer probably works with RGB and then you have to choose between AdobeRGB and sRGB (smaller colorspace).
    There is a lot to learn and read about color management and many books have been written about this subject. At least you should have a HQ monitor and devices to calibrate both your monitor and printer to match your prints with what you see on your screen. A difficult and personal matter I'm afraid. And when you want it to be perfect you should not only have a steady and reliable lighted work environment but also have different profiles for each sort of paper you print on and even each batch of ink and paper can slightly differ...

  • Does Print driver type (XPS V GDI) affect availability of "Color Mode Model" in Publisher 2013 to get CMYK colours

    Trying to export a Publisher 2013 file to Commercial Printer standard for our printers. They require CMYK.
    In the Publisher 2013 stand alone software - it is possible to change from RGB to CMYK in the "Choose Color Model" area in Info.
    But in the server based Publisher 2013 - in Info, the Choose Color Model is not offered :(
    Anyone know how to change RGB to CMYK in the server version of Publisher 2013? Thanks
    I wonder if the availability of CMYK is affected by what printer driver is installed - XPS compared to GDI
    Photos are of the Stand alone Office 2010. 

    Hi, ...
    Since Publisher 2013, you no longer have to choose a color model for your publication. In prior versions of Publisher, several different color modes were supported, with RGB mode for screen and desktop printers, and single, process, and spot color modes
    for more specialized, commercial printing cases. We have simplified this in the new version, and now use RGB mode for all cases, enhanced to export additional color information when saving the publication.

    Just as a quick update, Melon- 
    Using Office 2010 I went into "Choose Color Mode" and changed to CMYK. Used the pack and go and packed it onto a stick. The Office Administrator then walked it round to the printers, who took a look. Printers are happy as the CMYK and quality (DPI,
    etc) is all to what they want.
    Based on the high number of posts and threads about the failings of Publisher 2013, and especially the CMYK issues - I guess someone needs to address that as a service pack ;)
    Thanks
