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.

    so now I have to close an account I've held for 5 years and lose all my content...... am I right?
    No.
    I suggest you contact iTunes support.

    and was declined because I didn't have enough funds. This is fine. This happens all the time. Its cash.
    I wouldn't say "this is fine" and it is not cash.
    In many places, attempting to use a debit card with no funds (even if you don't know there are no funds) is fraud and is illegal.

  • I have an ipad, and want into replace my laptop with it. Is there a way of running iTunes from my ipad to allow me to put music onto my old ipad classic without the need for a computer.

    Please help me on this issue. I have the latest full size ipad with retina display and want to replace my old hp laptop with it. I currently run an iPod classic and nano from the iTunes on it, but i want to run them off my ipad. Is this possible.

    The iPad is not a computer, it cannot replace one, and it cannot sync music or media to other devices.
    You need to keep a computer around if you want  to sync ther Classic and Nano. It may also be useful if you ever need to backup the iPad in case a restore is necessarry.

  • HT1727 is there a way to run iTunes off of an external hard drive?

    My iPhone 4S is currently in recovery mode and I'm trying to restore it. I'm stuck overseas so I haven't been able to update the iOS software for a few months and iTunes on my computer won't restore my phone without installing the latest software (which is a 920 MB download). The problem though is that the base I'm on has wifi but the server resets its connection every few hundred MB you download (this is to prevent people from monopolizing bandwidth all day long). The iOS download however is an 'all or nothing' download so I have now watched it get to 500 MB three times before resetting the connection and when that happens the download starts over from scratch. I called apple support and worked out that the only way for me to download this update is through a hardwired connection. We have several computers available that have a hardwire connection but I can't install anything on them since they are US government owned. So what I basically need to be able to do is access my iTunes off of an external hard drive, download the update to that drive, and then copy the update to my phone so that I can restore my phone from the backups on my computer. Is there anyone out there who can give me a step-by-step to doing this? Otherwise my phone is an expensive paperweight until I can get back to a place with high speed internet that I can connect to my personal computer. Thanks.

    You can put your iTunes library on an external drive. Just copy the entire iTunes folder from <User's Music> out to it. You can access the library from any computer running the same build of iTunes by holding down shift as you start iTunes and browsing to \iTunes\iTunes Library.itl
    What you can't do is have a self-contained portable version of the iTunes application that isn't "installed" on the machine you want to use it on, so unless there is a spare port on a hub or switch that you can get permission to connect your own laptop to I don't see how you're going to get that update.

  • Is there a way to run Firefox updates on Macintosh computers using the command line?

    In our school district we have thousands of Macintosh computers that have Firefox installed (on Mac OS X 10.4 through 10.6). When a new update is released to fix security vulnerabilities it would be very helpful if our Tech Support Specialists could send out a command to all the Macs using Apple Remote Desktop to update Firefox. Is there a command that can be sent to update Firefox? If so, could you please tell me what the command is? Thanks so much for any help that can be provided.

    Certainly, but not with external interface.
    Have a look at the cookbooks. There are examples of how to use the root host object to call directly into extendscript.

  • Is there a way to run Motion and Final Cut Pro on Separate Machines?

    Is there a way to run Motion and Final Cut Pro from the same Final Cut Studio license on separate machines? We hadn't realised when we bought Final Cut Studio that it wouldn't allow this. Our editor doesn't use motion, and while I mainly use After Effects on our motion graphics machine, I was wanting to try using motion for some particle effects. Unfortunately, it won't let me open it while Final Cut is running on our editor's machine. I can understand not letting two copies of same application run under the same serial number at the same time, but it would be nice to be able to use both programs that we own concurrently. At very least it would be good to warn you that this isn't possible in the product description, not in some fine print license agreement once you have already bought the software.
    -Matt

    I do not know of any software, in any platform that can operate from the same license over a network simultaneously.This is the exact reason for the existence of Volume Licensing. If for example a project ran in each one of the included applications from different sources that were not an active network, I doubt you would have a problem.Like, doing a project at work and geting the outcome with the Powerbook at home...Sorta!

  • Is there any way to transfer itunes from a mac running 10.4 to an iphone 5

  • 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.

  • Is there a way to download itunes 10? I only have OS X 10.4 and want to use my new ipod nano which needs at least itunes 10. I currently have 9.4

    Is there a way to download itunes 10? I only have OS X 10.4 and want to use my new ipod nano which needs at least itunes 10. I currently have 9.4

    In order to run iTunes 10 you need OSX 10.5 or greater.  You will have to upgrade your operating system, if that is possible.   What you can do to upgrade will depend upon your computer and software you run.  To get more information about your computer, go to the Apple in the upper left corner of any window, then "About This Mac", then "More Info..."  Copy and paste the information here, but omit the serial number.

  • I have an older ipod...ever since I updated the itunes software my ipod no longer works in my car.  my car is a 2013 mercedes E350.  Is there a way to go back to an older version of the itunes software?

    I have an older ipod...ever since I updated the itunes software my ipod no longer works in my car.  my car is a 2013 mercedes E350.  Is there a way to go back to an older version of the itunes software?

    If it's an older iPod, its software is not being updated by Apple.  So, I don't see how updating iTunes would make the iPod not work with the car's audio system, since iTunes just updates the song files (not how the iPod operates).
    Does the iPod work by itself (play songs), when disconnected from the computer and iTunes?

  • 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!

  • Is there a way to move music from my Iphone 3gs to the Itunes on my computer without deleting it?

    Is there a way to move music from my Iphoe 3GS to the Itunes on my Windows 7 laptop? The hard drive of the laptop had been corrupted so it was replaced which makes the computer now register as being a new one alltogether.

    If you still have the old drive you (or a helpful friend) may be able put it in an external drive bay and extract your iTunes library and other personal data from it. Otherwise see Recover your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device.
