ITunes 9.0 toolbar in the Windows Taskbar doesn't work anymore

Anyone else having this problem? The iTunes window disappears and the usual toolbar interface shows on the taskbar but the controls have no functionality. You click them and nothing happens - you can't even get the normal iTunes window back unless you have the system tray icon on. Worked before with iTunes 8 and it seems to be a problem all versions of Windows. I've tried it on XP, Vista and 7 and they all had the same problem.

This can happen if the iTunes COM interface is not registered. To fix this, follow these steps
1. Quit iTunes.
2. Navigate to where iTunes.exe resides on the hard disk:
\Program Files\iTunes
or
\Program Files (x86)\iTunes
3. Right-click in the Address field at the top of the Windows Explorer window and choose Copy Address.
4. From the Windows Start menu, type cmd in the Search field and press Enter.
XP users will need to choose Run... from the Start menu, type cmd and press Enter
5. Type cd followed by a space (but don't press Enter)
6. Right-click in the window and choose Paste.
7. Press Enter.
8. Type this:
iTunes.exe /regserver
9. Press enter.
10. Open iTunes.
Does this fix it?

  • After the update the home sharing doesn't work anymore

    Last night I had an update from my Apple TV. After I updated it, the home sharing doesn't work anymore on any device. Not on my iPhone, iTunes, iPad, nothing. I double checked every setting and this isn't the problem. I have the newest version of iTunes. Please help!

  • The indicator light doesn't work anymore

    I have a older Apple TV and the indicator light doesn't work anymore. It flashes yellow when it's plugged in then nothing afterwards. It used to be green. It also doesn't want to update from iTunes anymore either

    I get the same thing, but I'm concerned about mine since it doesn't sleep always when the lid is closed. It then starts to get really hot if I have it in my backpack when its closed but not sleeping.
    Does anyone know what could be wrong? I'm new to Apple Laptops.

  • Outgoing Hotmail Windows Live doesn't work anymore

    I have a couple of Hotmail accounts set up in Mail on 10.6.8. They have worked fine for a long time, but since the last few days, outgoing mail does not work anymore. Only incoming mail works. I have tried to find out if Hotmail/Windows Live have changed anything regarding their POP mail, but have found nothing. Does anyone else have the same problem?

    Thank you Csound1 for your suggestions. In the end, I had to call a senior Apple care tech to solve it.
    So for anyone else having this problem, here's what we did:
    To fix outgoing Hotmail server problems,
    go to System Preferences/Network
    Select Ethernet and Advanced
    DNS tab
    Add 8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4 to DNS servers in left column.
    There was something wrong in the settings with the DNS server that I get when set to automatic. I called Verizon and they could not give me another DBNS server or help me. So I'm now using Googles (8.8.8.8).
    Go to keychain access
    Search for the hotmail address
    Delete the lines that says smtp.live.com - Internet password

  • When I click on a link, the BACK button doesn't work anymore in Windows 7. I've tried multiple settings, even TabMixPlus, but no luck. Why doesn't it keep track of pages so I can go back to where I started?

    I am using 3.6.15 and tried version 4 to no avail.

    Do you have McAfee Site Advisor installed? See http://support.mozilla.com/nl/questions/753639
    I'd also advise you to update to v3.6.16 because the version you're running right now is a security risk. Click '''Help '''| '''Check For Updates'''.

  • The search function doesn't work anymore

    when I fill in a name or product in the search window and tab 'search'; nothing happens

    Which search function do you mean?
    *searching via the location bar (pref: keyword.URL)
    *search bar on the Navigation Toolbar
    *search bar on the about:home page (pref: browser.search.defaultenginename)
    *other search bar (e.g. added by extension)
    Is this about the about:home page?
    If there is a problem with searching via the default about:home page then try to reset the search engine used on the about:home page.
    Reset the <b>browser.startup.homepage_override.mstone</b> pref via the right-click context menu to the default on the <b>about:config</b> page and close and restart Firefox to restore the about:home page to its default.
    *http://kb.mozillazine.org/about:config
    #Open the <b>about:config</b> page via the location bar
    #Type in the Filter bar: mstone
    #Right-click the browser.startup.homepage_override.mstone line and select: Reset
    #Close and restart Firefox
    If this didn't help then delete the delete the chromeappsstore.sqlite file in the Firefox Profile Folder and repeat the above.
    You can use the SearchReset extension to reset some preferences to the default values.
    *https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/searchreset/
    Note that the SearchReset extension only runs once and then uninstalls automatically, so it won't show on the "Firefox > Add-ons" page (about:addons).

  • Just entering the site name doesn't work anymore in Safari

    Before I upgraded to Leopard I was always able to just enter something like "cnn" into the URL field and Safari and Firefox would take me to that website. Now if I do that both browsers take me to a search page, my ISPs search page. Now I'm not sure if it's something with the new OS and I can change a setting or if it has something to do with Time Capsule. I added that to my network around the same time so I can't know for sure which it is. Does anyone know what's going on?
    Thanks,
    -M

    This happens to me and it's very annoying. I don't know why, but it doesn't happen every single time. I'd say only 5% of the time I'm able to type in the site name and hit enter without an error popping up.
    This was one of the things I loved about using Mac over Windows.

  • Satellite P10, internal keyboard: The pipe key doesn't work anymore

    Hello everybody!
    I have a Satellite P10 with WinXP(SP1) for ca. 1 year.
    Symptoms: It's about the internal keyboard. I've used the pipe key <|> indeed not everyday, but it worked. And suddenly I see that it's not doing anymore: it's "dead", whereas all other keys are working properly...
    My following steps:
    1) I've deinstalled the standard keyboard driver (101/102 keys) or Microsoft Natural Keyboard (PS/2), and it was successfully found after Windows starting up. There is no hardware conflict according to the Device Manager or System Information, the driver is running properly...
    2) The keyboard layout is German. But I've tested already the English (US) one too: the result is the same.
    Questions:
    1) Is the key physically damaged?
    2) If not, what can I do to fix the problem? Where can I get maybe a newer driver?
    Thanks in advance!

    Hello Mischa
    If you can not use the button at all I assume that the button is defective. It is not known to me that driver update can has influence on just several buttons.
    If the unit is about 1 year old the warranty is still valid. You can contact service partner and let them exchange the keyboard.
    Bye

  • My iPhone 5 fell down on the floor, than when I pick it up the most of the screen turns to different colors( lines or other stuff) , and when I touch the screen, it doesn't work anymore ,and I search how to fix it on google, but I follow the instructions

    What can I just do now, how can I fix it

    The Basic Troubleshooting Steps are:
    Restart... Reset... Restore from Backup...  Restore as New...
    However...
    In your caes (having dropped the iDevice) it looks like a Visit to an Apple Store or AASP (Authorized Apple Service Provider) is required... Be sure to make an appointment first...

  • After update to ioS 7.0.3, Airplay function for playing music with the Home amplifier doesn't work anymore.

    I used to listen to Ipad music on my home video using Airplay function.
    After updating to iOS 7.0.3, the Airplay icon is no more available for choosing local/remote reading.
    Does anybody has an idea?

    So everytime they update there OS I should go and re-read the entire manual, I'm not the only one who had this problem, why was is so hard to find an answer from Apple, why didn't they just say read the manaul,  all I got was bunch of links saying  to make sure your wi-fi is setup correctly, reset yout ipad, they didn't answer the question....
