ITunes 9 - I want my green button switch to mini view back

Upon updating to iTunes 9, I found that the way I switch between the "mini" view and the full window view - the green button - has been made inoperable. I'm not happy about that.
Every day I listen to music, I tend to switch between the mini and full views many times in a listening session using the mouse and only the mouse. Obfuscating this function behind an annoying keyboard combination is seriously irritating.
Apple, please make the green button in full view make the window switch to mini view again, or give us a new button in full view that does the same thing.
In the mean-time, does anyone have any hacks or whatever to undo Apple's bad decision?

I agree 100%.
This is really annoying. I switch back and forth constantly and find the whole key-combo counter productive to "ease of use" and familiarity to a method that EVERY iTunes user is accustomed to.
Apple, bad decision. Please bring back the one click (Green Traffic Light) Minimize option. Would GREATLY appreciated.
Thanks.

When i try to purchase an app that is free, i click the install green button and it just goes back to the free button and i can't download it? it just toggles back and forth between free and install. Please help.

When I try to purchase any free app, I try to click the green install button and it toggles between the install and free icons in the app store. Tried rebooting and also syncing iphone to computer but no luck. Any suggestions?

If resetting the iPad doesn't help, try these things.
Quit the App Store app completely and restart the iPad. Go to the home screen first by tapping the home button. Double tap the home button and the task bar will appear with all of your recent/open apps displayed at the bottom. Tap and hold down on any app icon until it begins to wiggle. Tap the minus sign in the upper left corner of the app that you want to close. Tap the home button or anywhere above the task bar. Restart the iPad.
Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.
If that doesn't work - sign out of your account, restart the iPad and then sign in again. Settings>iTunes & App Store>Apple ID. Tap your ID and sign out. Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button. Go back to Settings>iTunes & App Store>Sign in and then try to download an app again.
If that fails, try downloading something in iTunes. There is free content in there so find something that you don't have to pay for and download it. If that works, try the App store again.

In iTunes 9 is there a way to switch to Mini Mode without Command+Shift+M?

Back in all the other versions you pressed the green dot in the upper left hand corner and it would go down to Mini-Mode. Now, it just gets a little bit smaller but still takes up 70% of the screen. What's the deal?

I don't know. I'm not Apple. It doesn't work like it used to. If you don't like it, let Apple know here: http://www.apple.com/feedback/itunesapp.html

Please assist

You don't really delete app that way, that way to stop backup for that app in icloud.
You need to delete it from your home screen and then while it still will look like download from icloud - app will start fresh.
However if app uses any account sign in the stuff that is attached to sign in will come back, so if you do not want to you need to use
fresh account as well.

My girlfriend gave me a $25 iTunes gift card for Christmas, so I switched to the Canada store and spend most of it with .02¢ remaining. *Now I want to switch back to my original store, but I can't.

My friend gave me a $25 iTunes gift card for Christmas, so I switched to the US store and spend most of it with 11¢ remaining. *Now I want to switch back to my original store, but I can't. iTunes keeps saying "You have a store credit balance; you must spend your balance before you can change stores.*

You might just have to contact Apple and ask them to remove it (losing it). Usually people clear a balance by buying one song and having the exact remainder charged to their credit card, but if you don't have a US credit card you cannot do that.

No red, yellow or green buttons (close, minimise, maximise) in iTunes 10.4?

I've just downloaded iTunes 10.4 for mac and the red, yellow and green buttons (close, minimise, maximise) that sit in the top left corner are no longer there. It also looks like part of the top of iTunes has been cut off. Is this the norm now? How do I get them back?

It sounds to me like the iTunes toolbar is up under the Mac OS X menu bar. Try selecting the "Close Window" command from the File menu in ITunes, then open a new window by choosing "iTunes" under the Windows menu. If that doesn't fix the problem, try changing the resolution of your Mac's screen (Displays system preference) to a lower resolution, then back. That may get the iTunes window to reappear.
If not, open the Script Editor application, paste in the following text and click the "Run" button:
tell application "Finder"
set {d1, d2, d3, d4} to (get bounds of window of desktop)
end tell
tell application "iTunes"
set margins to {d1 + 10, d2 + 54, d3 - 10, d4 - 148}
set bounds of window 1 to margins
end tell
That should restore the window properly, though I haven't tried that script with recent versions of Mac OS X.
Hope this helps.

Using iDVD, I've no problem creating a slideshow, but I want to add three seperate sound files, in this case speeches I've got in iTunes. I want to create three individual buttons/sub menu to access them individually from the photos. Can anyone help

Using iDVD I've no problem creating a slideshow, but am having problems trying to add three seperate sound files in this case three speeches that I hold in iTunes. I want to be able to access them individually and seperately from the photo slideshow. Can anyone advise if this can be done and if it can, how I go about creating the seperate menu and buttons.

If you'd like to integrate the speeches with the slideshow, I'd do that in iMovie where you'll have more control over the timing. Use chapter markers at the beginning of each speech so the viewer can jump to a particular speech (note that chapter markers advance the viewer to a particular spot -- the viewer keeps watching the rest of the video until the end of everything or until they use the remote's menu button).
If you're just wanting the speeches to be on the DVD so people can listen to the speeches after seeing your slideshow, you could:
- use iDVD or iMovie to make a "slideshow" with just 1 image matching the length of a speech.
- create three submenus and use the speeches as menu music. Here's a (random) video on creating submenus:

ITunes 11: No miniplayer when pressing green button

As the title states, when i press the green button in the new iTunes 11, it just makes the window bigger, and won't go to miniplayer like with 10 and previous versions. Is there some way to change this, because this is a major dealbreaker for me since i use that a lot, cmd-option-m is a little rediculous for the same thing.

Here is the button for the miniPlayer:

The green button, top left corner of a pop-up screen on MACbook, it's supposed to enlarge the pop-up to full MAC screen size, correct? Mine does not. Sometimes it makes the pop-up screen SMALLER. Appreciate someone solving this for me.

Are you talking about the green '+' button in the top left corner? That technically doesn't enlarge it. It switches the window from the default window size to the custom size you made. You can enlarge the window by moving your mouse to the bottom right corner of the window, and dragging until you get the size you want.

How do I start iTunes with whichever iTunes library I want?

How do I start iTunes with whichever iTunes library I want?
I've created a 2nd iTunes library using the "press shift-key while opening iTunes from the start menu" method given in iTunes help. Now, when I try to start iTunes from the Quick Launch menu or from the system start menu, I get the new library--without choosing it.
Otherwise, the new library works as I'd hoped. By turning off "Copy files to iTunes Media folder when adding to library," I'm able to use "Add Folder to Library" (where the folders are in the 1st iTunes library) without using more disk space for the 2nd library. So far, it works just fine for CDs and movies. I'm anticipating an iPad which can hold much less than my iPod Classic.
I have the latest iTunes (10.2.1.1)

A solution found!
I found where Apple addresses the question. Actually, I had tried this before I found Apple's answer and before I asked the question here and I didn't get it to work. I finally have it working, but the Apple answer is missing a step--or so it seems.
Locating Apple's answer:
From the iTunes window,
Help > More resources > iTunes Support Website > iTunes Library and Backup > iTunes Library >
How to open an alternate iTunes Library file or create a new one.
Apple quote:
1.If iTunes is running, quit iTunes.
2.If you are using Windows, hold down the Shift key and from the Start menu and choose All Programs > iTunes > iTunes.
3.If you are using the Mac, open iTunes and immediately hold down the Option key.
4.You should see one of the following screens:
End quote.
As it says, you get a prompt to: Quit or Choose Library or Create Library.
I created my new library by choosing "Create Library" and expected to be able to use "Choose Library" later. So, when I clicked "Choose Library," I got a new window that's titled "Open iTunes Library" (it looks a lot like a Windows Explorer window). I selected (on the sidebar) the old library, clicked "Open" and nothing happened. The problem is likely my inexperience with this type of issue, but, still, the solution seems hokey.
After too much screwing around and a 24oz beer, this is what's working:
1. If iTunes is running, quit iTunes.
2. Hold down the Shift key and from the Start menu, choose All Programs > iTunes > iTunes. (You don't have to have the shift key down until just before you click the last "iTunes.") Don't release the shift key 'til the prompt comes up.
3. The prompt is: Quit or Choose Library or Create Library. Click "Choose Library."
4. When the "Open iTunes Library" window comes up, click the desired iTunes library on the sidebar. (Mine are named "iTunes" and "iTunesIPad.")
5. Then, you'll see a list of items in the right pane. Find the file named "iTunes Library.itl" and click it.
6. Now, with both the iTunes library name selected on the sidebar and the "iTunes Library.itl" file selected in the right pane, click the "Open" button.
7. iTunes will come up using the desired library.
8. Using iTunes from the Quick Launch menu or the desktop will bring up the same iTunes library again, even if you shut down your computer.
9. When you want to change the iTunes library in use, start at step 1.
Nice about this, is that I would only have to get into the "iTunesIPad" library if I need to add something to it from my regular "iTunes" library or I want to sync to the iPad. Most of the time, I'll use my regular 185GB "iTunes" library (even here, I deselect many movies so that I can sync the library to my iPod).
Caution:
I must add the warning that I'm doing this because the iPad (that I don't have yet), won't hold even half of what I have in my iTunes library. At this point, the "iTunesIPad" library will take up very minimal disk space since it's using pointers to the regular library rather than copies from the regular library AND it's easy to switch between libraries only when needed. I can't say that this will all work until I try more setup work and I actually use it with an iPad. If someone knows that this is going to cause problems or if they have a better idea, I'd sure welcome comment. BTW, before trying this, I restructured my iTunes library (File > Library > Organize Library > Reorganize files in the folder "iTunes Media.") to bring it up to date and then backed it up on an external drive. The website "iLounge" has an article about the old and new library structure.

Hi All - I sent an sms using my iphone 5 - It is PAYG and had no money in it. (stupidly)
It tried to send as an SMS but gave the 'green button reject message'.(no money)
Step 2 in this stupidity - the phone keeps trying to send the deleted text via SMS and wont stop notifying me of this. Totally ruining the functionallity of my phone, and more so totally annoying. All I want to do is stop the constant re-trying of sending the deleted SMS.
Any ideas?
Many Thanks!

Hi, many thanks for your help - Pressing and holding sleep/reset hasn't worked, the msg is still continually reporting it is failing to send. I can restore to a previous version however I'll lose my paid apps. Is there any way to work around this. I'm only concerned about one app - Epocam HD which I purchased last month. My last backup on PC is 4 March 13 - before I bought the paid app - Itunes advises me I'll have to re-pay to get my apps (app) back. Even though it advises that icloud backed up this morning at 1:30 am (which although it is before the text, I cannot manually select this restore).
What a mess!

HT1689 how can i undisable my ipod touch when itunes does not want to connect?

My brother's ipod touch 4th generation was cracked on the screen and was not able to see anything after a while. We finally fixed it and now it says "IPOD DISABLED CONNECT TO ITUNES". We tried connecting it and itunes does not want to connect because it says that the ipod has a passcode and until we unlock it, it will do it. So we our stuck and on top of that, the ipod's power button does not work, so we waited to uncharge the ipod so we can try to connect it again and it still won't do it. We do not know what to do, and we cannot afford to buy a new one. Is there a solutiong for this? Thank You.

Place the iOS device in Recovery Mode and then connect to your computer and restore via iTunes. The iPod will be erased.

Hello Clancbelle,
It sounds like you have a credit card saved to your Apple ID payment information and you would like it to be removed from the account and set the payment method to None. You should be able to do this with the following article:

Changing your payment information using an iOS device
Tap Settings on the Home screen.
Tap iTunes & App Stores.
Tap your Apple ID. (If you aren't signed in, enter your Apple ID and password and tap Sign In.)
Tap View Apple ID.
Enter your Apple ID password.
In the Edit section, tap Payment Information.
Update the information that you want to change.
Tap the Done button when you're finished.
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
Cheers,
