ITunes 10.1.1 Windows 7 taskbar icon issue

Since I updated to 10.1.1 (from 10.1) iTunes appears two times in the taskbar. I already tried deleting all shortcuts, opened iTunes and pinned the icon to the task bar. then a second icon appears - not active. if i close iTunes, the 2nd stays. if then I start iTunes from that icon it shows in another icon again. pinning that icon again gives me another icon... and so on. what did you do from version 10.1 to 10.1.1?...

No problems about the late response. Discussions has been quirky for a lot of people lately.

How do I get rid of embedded adobe reader process windows and taskbar icons?

In the lastest versions of Adobe reader I've come across the issue of finding an adobe task bar icon and a small adobe reader process window for each PDF document that I have open witin an Internet explorer tab. This is driving me crazy. At first I thought it was jut an issue with the machine that I'm on, but I have now seen this happen in multiple computers. Anyone have any ideas on how to keep these from clogging my screen and taskbar?
I am using Windows 7 Ultimate x64, Internet Explorer version 10.0.9200.16686, and Adobe Reader 11.0.4.

Group similar buttons on the taskbar
Taskbar buttons represent open programs on your computer. When you have several programs open at once, the taskbar might seem crowded with buttons. To help organize the taskbar and save space, you can group similar taskbar buttons so that all of the open files from one program are grouped into one taskbar button, like this:
Grouped taskbar buttons
Open Taskbar and Start Menu Properties by clicking the Start button , clicking Control Panel, clicking Appearance and Personalization, and then clicking Taskbar and Start Menu.
Select the Group similar taskbar buttons check box so that it is checked. (To turn off grouping, clear the Group similar taskbar buttons check box.)

Windows 7 taskbar icon

Hello,
I've added icons to stage with below code...
stage.getIcons().add(new Image(JavaFXWindow.class.getResource("ui/resources/appicon_16x16.png").toExternalForm(), 16, 16, false, true));
stage.getIcons().add(new Image(JavaFXWindow.class.getResource("ui/resources/appicon_32x32.png").toExternalForm(), 32, 32, false, true));
stage.getIcons().add(new Image(JavaFXWindow.class.getResource("ui/resources/appicon_48x48.png").toExternalForm(), 48, 48, false, true));... and the icon is showed in window titlebar and taskbar

The problem is icon in taskbar is blurred somehow, like it was resized from smallest stage icon. No matter what combination of sizes I use, it's always blurred.
What is the practice for inserting icon with multiple sizes in JavaFX 2.0?

Windows 7 Taskbar Preview Issue (vanishing buttons)

When I mouse over the iTunes icon on the taskbar I get the usual preview box with the 'previous', 'play', and 'next' buttons at the bottom. But after I minimize, then restore iTunes, these buttons have disappeared from the taskbar preview window. It's annoying. And I want it fixed...
Any suggestions?

Exact same problem. Very frustrating!

Windows 7 Taskbar Jumping Issue

In windows 7, if you right click any icon that is pinned to the taskbar, and then, with that program's menu displayed, left click an empty part of the taskbar and move the mouse in any direction. The taskbar (even if it is locked) will jump to the top of the screen.

Hi
I tried but was unable to recreate the behavior you are describing.
If this is something that just started recently, you might want to try using s System Restore point to go back to a time before the behavior started.
If this does not fix the problem, try creating a new User Account, Create a user account, log on with the new account and try to recreate the behavior.
If the behavior cannot be recreated with the new user account, this may indicate that your current user account is corrupted.
If this is the case, replace the corrupted account with a new account using the instructions in the following article.

ITunes 10.1.1 Windows 7 Ultimate x64 Issues

I have recently upgraded my windows system to Windows 7 Ultimate x64 and after installing the latest iTunes i realised that i couldn't connect any of my mobile devices (2x iPhone 3G's or my iTouch 4G).
After hours of researching the web i came to the conclusion that the latest version of iTunes doesnt contain the proper driver files for my specific system.
Has anyone else had this problem ? Or is my (brand new) pc busted ?
P.S. After uninstalling iTunes 10.1.1 for the Millionth time, i installed the older 10 version and it worked perfectly.
I am going to try updating through the iTunes updater to see what happens.

Outlook Taskbar icon dissapears, even though outlook is still running.

One of my users has come across a strange phenomenon in the behavior of outlook 2010.
The users perspective:
My outlook program has dissapeared, even though I still have emails open... ARGHHHHHH AHHHHHHHH
Infrastructure Engineer perspective:
Don't believe user, convinced user is "accidentally" closing outlook, or ignoring a message popup, or clicking the wrong button on message popup. So I watched the user remotely for 30 minutes, until
sure enough, Outlook programs just dissapeared from task bar, but open emails were still stacked on the windows 7 Taskbar icon.
Digging through Event viewer highlighted nothing at the time or 30 minutes I had been watching.
Now the interesting part.
Obviously Outlook.exe is still a running process, and right clicking the task bar icon still gives you Outlook options for new emails etc, and can click MS Outlook 2010 to open the main Outlook interface again, which opens rapidly as if it were invisibly
minimized. I also noticed that when it had dissapeared the right click menu "Micorosoft Outlook 2010" button was affixed with " (2)".
So, its looks as though MS has not dissapeared but the pinned task bar icon is looking for an instance of outlook affixed with (2) at the end.
Closing outlook and unpinning outlook from task bar, open outlook from scratch gets rid of (2). Which can then be pinned again, soon after outlook dissapears and the (2) is back again.
The user is built using the same windows image and MS 2010 deployments and updates schedule as 5000 other people, no one else has reported this issue. Any Ideas anyone?
p.s. I have no idea why the text in this post has changed size, something to do with the delete key being used at the end of a paragraph, in order to make a new line instead.
Kind regards
F

Outlook has a notification area icon as well as a taskbar icon. If you right-click the notification area Outlook icons one of the options is 'Hide when minimized'. If that is checked then it will behave as you are describing.
Good luck!

Can't log into iTunes or icloud on windows 7

I am having trouble getting in to use iTunes and icloud on my desktop windows 7. Saying that I'm not connected to server, but I am accessing the Internet though. Also am receiving emails but cannot send them......aaaaaagh!

Close your iTunes,
Go to command Prompt -
(Win 7/Vista) - START/ALL PROGRAMS/ACCESSORIES, right mouse click "Command Prompt", choose "Run as Administrator".
(Win XP SP2 & above) - START/ALL PROGRAMS/ACCESSORIES/Command Prompt
In the "Command Prompt" screen, type in
netsh winsock reset
Hit "ENTER" key
Restart your computer.
If you do get a prompt after restart windows to remap LSP, just click NO.
Now launch your iTunes and see if it is working now.
If you are still having these type of problems after trying the winsock reset, refer to this article to identify which software in your system is inserting LSP:

I'm unable to access the Itunes Store from my Windows 8?

I recently recieved a new laptop, operating on Windows 8. {Note: This is my first Windows computer, I transferred over from Mac}. I decided to open up a new Apple ID to get away from my parent's account, so that was all set up pretty easily.
Now, however, i find that I can't access the Itunes store from the Itunes application.
A message, I'm unable to find it now, it no longer appears, instead I get a blank screen instead of the store, read something similar to "not being able to open itunes store, please check your cookies and account details. {sorry if that's too vague, but it definitly had to do with my cookie settings making it unable to open.}
I'm at a loss at what to do next. My account is perfectly set up, but where and how to adjust the cookies so that the itunes store can open?

Close your iTunes,
Go to command Prompt -

How to Set Taskbar Icon in Windows 10?

I have installed windows 10 preview version and try to develop apps on it.
I use
SendMessage(hwnd, WM_SETICON, ICON_SMALL, myicon); to change the application icon before win 8.1.
But I found that the icon in taskbar is no longer the same as that of window icon in windows 10!
It is the same as the tray icon (next to the clock) now.
This is quite strange and the resolution is blurred since the tray icon image is too small.
The problem occurs on the desktop notification icon, too.
Dropbox windows app has the same problem (app icon in taskbar is the same as the tray icon, so as the notification icon)
Is this a new design for taskbar icon for windows 10?
If so, is there a API to change the icon to a customize image?
Thank you very much!

Hi,
Thank you for your information!
I still have some questions:
1. What does "same functionality" mean? It seems that the notification is a new feature in win 10.
2. I cannot find any update about the taskbar icon from win 8.1 to win 10. But the way to configure the icon is changed. This really bothers me because the blurred icon looks so ugly...
Thank you very much!
1. sorry typo, "some functionality"
2. can't help you there, i'm not encountering blurred icon. might be because of graphics driver compatibility.
try installing the latest graphics driver.

Windows 7 Taskbar Large Icons

I'm having trouble getting the higher resolution icons to display in the taskbar for built applications. The low resolution icon displays at the large size. I have defined multiple icons with the icon editor but Windows is not choosing the higher resolution icon. Is there a way to force Windows to use the higher resolution icon for display in the taskbar? Thanks.

Kudos to you, B! Setting the taskbar property to "Always combine, hide labels" did the trick. Now it keeps the correct 32x32 (I'm using 256 colors) icon without switching to the upscaled 16x16 icon. Of course, if I select "Use small icons" it correctly uses the 16x16 icon. (However, I'm sure there's no way to have my installer set this taskbar property, nor should there be. So when I deploy my application, the user is most likely going to not have that option selected as it is not the default, and therefore will see the pixelated up-scaled 16x16 icon. Such is life!)
The shortcut on the desktop is 48x48, which Windows apparently scaled-down my 64x64 icon as I didn't make a 48x48 icon, and it looks fine. (Also, in Windows Explorer the icons are correct in all views.) So Windows 7 seems to up-scale or down-scale icons with little rhyme or reason!
Thanks for confirming what I saw, that the selected icon size when doing the build did not have any effect. It's just for viewing the icon. However, I thought it should because when I changed my project file then showed the * indicating that a change was made and the file needs to be saved. Even though I saved it, then next time I re-opepned the project file, it still showed the 16x16 icon selected. So that isn't saved. I experimented and found that not changing anything but clicking OK in that dialog box, makes the project file think it was changed, which resulted in the * being displayed. This was a red herring.
Do you have any idea what ssk meant when he said, "I had my default icon set to 16x16 in the build description. Changing it to a larger version cured the fuzzy icon!"?
(FYI, I'm using LabView V. 8.5.)
Thanks,

Is using a taskbar icon in .exe combined with windows service a good idea as part of an alarm system?

My client wants an alert system and his focus is on the taskbar. He wants the icon to change, (and ideally even blink) and also to have some beeping when a new work request comes in. It needs to run constantly, and grab the attention of an operator
who may not be paying much attention to the screen.
I’m excited to develop this, but after years of web development, I feel paralyzed. I must be making this harder than it needs to be, but here’s my plan… I'll start with a windows form, which will run minimized, and have an icon that looks like
a hammer in the taskbar. A timer would continually check for a new service requests. When it sees one it would change the toolbar icon to a red x and sent a few dozen beeps out to the operator. I think I need a windows service running that
checks periodically to see if my windows exe is running. If not, it should start it up. Perhaps this could be a scheduled task, rather than a service.
Some of my questions are;
How do I change the taskbar icon on the fly?
Is this a good idea, or is there an easier way?
Snippets of code or related articles are most welcome!
Thanks!

So I created a windows form and added a timer to check for unacknowledged requests. If it finds any, it changes the icon on for the taskbar, and makes a beep. Simple, but it works. However, I'm having a beep of a time trying to figure out
where to put the ico files so they are where they need when I publish it. Others seem to suggest adding them using the properties of the application, under application / resources / Icon and manigest blah blah blah. But I can only seem to add one
there. I need the three different ones. I'm confused! Any suggestions?
private bool iconBig = true;
private Icon redcross = new Icon("..\\NewRequest.ico");
private Icon redcross2 = new Icon("..\\NewRequest2.ico");
private Icon hammer = new Icon("..\\Hammer.ico");
private void timer1_Tick(object sender, EventArgs e)
List<WorkRequest> myWorkRequests = WorkRequestData.WorkRequest_unAcknowledged();
if (myWorkRequests.Count > 0)
for (int i = 0; i < 5; i++)
SystemSounds.Beep.Play();
if (iconBig == true)
iconBig = false;
this.Icon = redcross;
this.Refresh();
else
iconBig = true;
this.Icon = redcross2;
this.Refresh();
else
this.Icon = hammer;
this.Refresh();

Taskbar icons disappear in Windows 7

I have recently installed Windows 7 Ultimate. If I click on the taskbar icon for an open window/application, the window is minimised AND the task bar icon disappears. I have to use ALT-TAB to find my window again. It is infuriating.
I have Win 7 at work, and Win Vista on my laptop. In both cases clicking on the taskbar icon will miminise the window, but leave the taskbar icon. Clicking the icon again will restore the window. How do I set my Win 7 Ultimate to do the same?

I'll do my best!
not_a_computer_techie,
I have to make at least a few assumptions, so bear with me.
I'll assume you understand what the "Desktop" is.
Right-click (your mouse) on the Desktop, (left-)click "New", click "Text Document", press "Enter" on the keyboard.
Double-click the new text file you just created (named "New Text Document.txt").
You'll either have to copy the following statements and paste them into the file, or if you don't know how, enter them by typing them in. Obviously, there's less chance of an error if you copy and paste them.
taskkill /F /IM explorer.exe
cd /d %userprofile%\AppData\Local
attrib -h IconCache.db
del IconCache.db
start explorer
Now, look at the top left of the window where you just entered or pasted the statements. You should see the words "File", "Edit", ..., "Help". Click "File", click "Exit". It will then ask if you want to save
your changes; click "Save".
Change the name of the file from "New Text Document.txt" to "New Text Document.bat" (i.e., change the last three characters from "txt" to "bat") and
click "Yes" when prompted.
Right-click "New Text Document.bat", click "Run as Administrator". You must now reboot your computer for the change to take place. Every program that had an icon missing will have the icon restored when the program is run.
I recommend you rename the file from "New Text Document.bat" to "Icon Cache Refresh.bat" and save it somewhere for the next time this happens (and believe me, it will).

My taskbar is blank in Firefox. It simply says 'Done' in the bottom l/h side. When I go back to windows the taskbar reappears with icons at r/h side.

My taskbar is blank in Firefox. It simply says 'Done' in the bottom l/h side. When I go back to windows the taskbar reappears with all icons at r/h side.

I have had a similar problem with my system. I just recently (within a week of this post) built a brand new desktop. I installed Windows 7 64-bit Home and had a clean install, no problems. Using IE downloaded an anti-virus program, and then, because it was the latest version, downloaded and installed Firefox 4.0. As I began to search the internet for other programs to install after about maybe 10-15 minutes my computer crashes. Blank screen (yet monitor was still receiving a signal from computer) and completely frozen (couldn't even change the caps and num lock on keyboard). I thought I perhaps forgot to reboot after an update so I did a manual reboot and it started up fine.
When ever I got on the internet (still using firefox) it would crash after anywhere between 5-15 minutes. Since I've had good experience with FF in the past I thought it must be either the drivers or a hardware problem. So in-between crashes I updated all the drivers. Still had the same problem. Took the computer to a friend who knows more about computers than I do, made sure all the drivers were updated, same problem. We thought that it might be a hardware problem (bad video card, chipset, overheating issues, etc.), but after my friend played around with my computer for a day he found that when he didn't start FF at all it worked fine, even after watching a movie, or going through a playlist on Youtube.
At the time of this posting I'm going to try to uninstall FF 4.0 and download and install FF 3.6.16 which is currently on my laptop and works like a dream. Hopefully that will do the trick, because I love using FF and would hate to have to switch to another browser. Hopefully Mozilla will work out the kinks with FF 4 so I can continue to use it.
I apologize for the lengthy post. Any feedback would be appreciated, but is not necessary. I will try and post back after I try FF 3.16.6.
