Is there a way to minimize iTunes to the Sys Tray?

Ignore. Figured it out! Yes. In itunes, edit/preferences/advanced. Check the boxes "show itunes in system tray" and "minimize itunes window to system tray".

Is there a way to stop iTunes make the default location?

Hello!
I have iTunes on external drive and I am getting tired of iTunes automatically change the location without notice if the external drive is not connected. I have many podcasts that is downloaded and it gives me headache and frustration when I too late see that it is downloading to the local drive instead of external drive. Is there any way to edit a text file in preferences or to make iTunes make a question first if I WANT to change the location or give a warning that it can not connect so I have time to correct it before it starts? For a programmers point of view this little utility would not be so difficult to implement right? That would help a looot to have this warning before the application starts.
Anyone here tried to find a solution or has a better suggestion?
Thanks

Sorry, there is no way to prevent iTunes from defaulting back to the location on the internal drive if your external drive is not connected. You can offer suggestions to Apple on this issue here:

Is there a way to have iTunes play the first song in a playlist & then stop

We're using iTunes to play backing tracks in a show. We are using a vpedal through the USB for play and pause. We would like to be able to hit the pedal to play the first track and then have it stop ( NOT automatically play the second track). Then we could just hit the pedal to play each subsequent track. Thanks for your help

Michael - thank you so much for your effort to help me with this question. I have tried what you have suggested and it does exactly what you say it will do but does not solve the issue. Let me explain what needs to happen a little better: The playlist of backing tracks has 4 songs. The Vpedal is a third party programable device that will activate play/pause in iTunes. I will have no access (nor will anyone else) to the computer while I am in character during this part of the performance. I introduce the piece and step on the vpedal and the first song plays. If I don't hit it again, each subsequent track will play automatically - this is bad because applause, etc. makes the time between songs variable. So, currently I have to step on the pedal at the end of song #1 to pause it and then when ready for song #2 step on it again to play. The same process for end of song #2 (pause), start of song #3 (play), end of song #3 (pause) and start of song #4 (play). This works but the problem with it is I must be very precise when to pause - wait a second too late and then next song will begin. So, it would be far preferable if iTunes only needed me to press the pedal to play and the program would pause automatically at the end of each song but be ready to play the next song when I hit the pedal. Hope this makes it clearer.
Any other thoughts? Again, thanks.

Is there a way to get iTunes to find tracks it can't locate on its own?

I have my iTunes music folder on an external drive, and my computer, for some reason, couldn't locate the songs on there for a few days. Now, it's back to normal, but many of the tracks have the little exclamation mark next to them, and when I try to play them, the computer tells me the original track could not be found, and asks if I'd like to locate it. If I search, I can easily find the track, but is there a way to have iTunes locate the tracks on its own?
Thanks!
Saul

Not that I know of. It's a pain.
Make sure you always have your exHD operational before you start iTunes, or this can happen.

Is there a way to run iTunes on startup minimized directly to the system tray?

Ive been trying to tweak registry and even created a .bat file in order to fix this but still not working.
Since iOS 5 can sync wirelessly, is there a way to run iTunes on windows startup minimized directly to the system tray?
Any feedback is greatly appreciated.
Thanks

Correction...
It's a bit of a kludge, but copy the following two lines and paste into an empty Notepad window. Click Save As, change the Save as file type to All files and call the script MinimiTunes.vbs. Place the script or a shortcut to it into your startup group. iTunes will still open as full screen but will minimize shortly thereafter.
Set iTunes=CreateObject("iTunes.Application")
iTunes.Windows.Item(1).Minimized=True
Alternatively, download the script MinimiTunes from my site.

Syncing to a new iTunes library or computer will erase your ipod. Only if you back up your iPod manually before syncing, you can restore your device from that backup again. A manual backup does not include the sync process.
Disable autosync in iTunes, connect your iPod to your new computer and right click on it in the device list and choose backup. iTunes will backup your ipod without syncing.
Transfer your purchases the same way, choosing "transfer purchases" this time.
When you connect your iPod for the first time, all media content will be erased. But you can restore your settings and app data from your manual backup afterwards.
Don't forget to set up at least one contact and event on your new computer to be able to merge calendars and contacts when you sync the ipod for the first time.
Music is one way only, from the computer to your device, unless you bought the songs in itunes and transferred your purchases.
There is 3rd party software out there, but not supported by Apple, see this thread:http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2013615&tstart=0

I moved all my music from c: drive(because it was full) to an external harddrive and now itunes can't find any of my music. Is there a way to get Itunes to find music on external drive without having to place all the music back onto the c: drive? Thanks

Hopefully you moved the entire iTunes Media (or iTunes Music) folder to a new path on your external drive. Copy your iTunes library folder out to the root of the external drive, e.g. X:\iTunes (where X: is your external drive), then move the media folder inside it. Hold down shift as you start iTUnes and keep holding untila asked to choose or create a library. Choose the library at X:\iTunes\iTunes Library.itl. Should all be good.
Failing that, download and run my FindTracks script and point it at the new location of your media folder.

4 people in our family have an iphones or ipod on the same apple id ..so that we can all share the itunes library. however this means that we all get each others imessages. is there a way of sharing itunes library with 4 separate ids?

4 of us in the family with iphonesor ipods share the same apple id so that we can share the itunes library . However , this means we all receive each others imessages, unless we disable imessaging. Is there a way of sharing itunes library (ie.g with 4 separate ids) that avoids the sharing of imessages? .

Thanks, Terence, but if she was inclined to upload things, I wouldn't need access!
Here is an example: we go on vacation, she takes 250 photos, edits twenty of the best shots, and uploads three to facebook. I want to make an album including some of the edited shots and some of the less perfect but still fun shots - so I need all 250 photos - uploading that many photos to a photosharing site takes forever even if she did it - but she won't. I used to just hijack her computer for a day, but I'd like to be able to hijack her iphoto library without stealing her computer...if possible!
Thanks for any help you can offer!

I purchased some movies off iTunes from my account (but from my father IPad) to download as a gift,
but didn't realize he can not view if not logged in with my account.
Is there any way to save directly to the IPad (regardless of account) so he can view?
Or transfer to his account?
Or is any was to cancel the recent purchase if can not transfer as I will not watch these myself?

sure pretty simple. make a backup of your current settings
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1766?viewlocale=en_US
then restore device from old backup you need pics off of
then import pics to computer
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4083
you may need to save pics to camera roll first
then restore the new backup and sync pics back to phone via itunes
Peace, Clyde

Just delete the same songs from your library in iTunes. Select the first song, hold the shift key, select the last song (which will select everything in between) and press delete.

I have two Macs: an MBA and the new iMac. Is there a way to have iTunes and all the content in it identical on both machines?

I have two Macs: an MBA and the new iMac. Is there a way to have iTunes and all the content in it identical on both machines?

Yes you can copy the content to your new machine and use Home Sharing to keep the content identical
Connect the two machines via an ethernet cable it is 3 times faster than Wifi. Turn wifi off on one machine to enforce ethernet connection
In System Preferences, Sharing turn on File Sharing
Then
Copy the music/itunes folder from the Macbook pro to the music/ folder on the imac
Both machines should now have the same library
Disconnect H the ethernet cable
Set up Home Sharing and under Settings at the bottom of the Home Sharing page. Select to transfer new purchases.
Do the same on the other machine.
Then when you r machines are connected by wifi and each time you start itunes it will transfer your new purchases
Setting up home sharing
