Itunes Aero Interface

Good day,
I am a long time Itunes user. I recently upgraded to Windows 7 RC1 and was wondering if it is possible that Apple will finally enable the Aero interface to work with Itunes. I didn't use Aero back when I was on Vista because it would just slow down my system too much but now with 7 I have it turned on. Every single application I have support it but Apple products (with the exception of the new Safari).
What is the reason Itunes is not able to support it? Is there a way to enable it (workaround)? If not, is Apple considering supporting the Aero interface. I know it's not a big deal butit would be nice
Thanks!

The iTunes SDK has not been updated, so I can only recommend you logon to your developer account and raise the issue through channels at their site, probably a bug report would be appropriate.

One or more application are using Itunes scripting interface

After downloading update on ITunes 10 on windows 7 it freezes. Or something pops up and says one or more application are using itunes scripting interface quit.
I tried everything. Help.

well, you're the first one I''m seen reporting this, so that makes me think it is unique to your PC. So I doubt an updated iTunes version is going to "fix" this.
The way to find things like this is by using MSCONFIG as explained in these directions. But it is tedious to find it, requires a lot of PC restarting. You said it's not a big deal, so you might not want to spend the time.

HELP!!! Message - (One or more applications are using the iTunes scripting interface. Are you sure you want to quit?) How do I get this to stop?

I bought a new Sony Vaio Laptop running Windows 8, 64bit, i7 processor. Everytime I open iTunes and then close out, the following message occurs: (i-tunes message - One or more applications are using the iTunes scripting interface. Are you sure you want to quit?) Then it starts counting down from 20 seconds unless I just click on the (Quit) button. How do I get this to stop? Please be specific, I am challenged when it comes down to computers.
Thank You

This was extremely annoying for me, also. I started uninstalling unneeded Sony applications to try to narrow down the problem. It turned out not to be a Sony application... it is some functionality built into the bluetooth driver software package by Broadcom. Uninstalling the bluetooth package (via the control panel) takes care of the problem. Itunes also boots up way quicker. But uninstalling it will remove features related to bluetooth and nfc. For me, that isn't an issue, since I don't use them. Since you said you're "computer challenged" I would probably just send an email to sony complaining about the problem. They'll get in touch with Broadcom eventually (the manufacture of the drivers) and get the problem fixed.
Side note: the Broadcom package is huge... nearly 1GB in size. Which is crazy. I can't imagine what it does considering the size of it. Entire operating systems can take up less storage. Also, I have no idea how it starts an itunes plugin without placing it into the standard plugin directories.

Why has itunes user interface been ruined?

Why has the itunes user interface been ruined? It used to be easy to use. Basic functions dont work any more. Editing a Play List requires extra steps. I cant restore the useful side navigation bar where I could easily add a song to one or more play list...
Incredibly frustrating.

When I plug the iPhone in the sync options comes up once, but once you leave you cant get it back. There is phone icon in the top icon nave bar - but clicking on it does nothing. What is the point of the icon if it does nothing?
How do you get back to the sync options screen where you can select the music you want without having to disconnect and plug it back in again?
It used to be easy... More frustration...

IPad 2 with iOS 6 installed displaying the old App and iTunes stores interface.

I noticed today that my iPad 2, updated to run iOS 6, is no longer displaying the new App Store or iTunes Store interface as introduced with iOS 6, but rather defaulting to the old interface, as familiar in iOS 5 and prior. However my iPad was displaying the new store interfaces as of Wednesday September 19th.
Here's a screen shot of what I currently see.
I presume that the store skin is displayed by Apple on the backend, and for some reason my iPad is still displayng the old interface.
Just wondering if anyone else is experiecing the same sight?

ITunes COM interface

I made an application that interfaced with the iTunes COM interface a while back now. And after updating to 7.4.1.2, it stopped working.
Unhappy...
Any ideas?

Cannot downcast IITWindow to IITBrowserWindow in iTunes COM interface.

Actually, what I'd really like is the ability to highlight a playlist, or an artist, or an album, or a bunch of tracks and use right-click to send the information to another application. But as that isn't an option, I've started looking at the iTunes COM interface.
The code I'm trying to run, gets an IITWindowCollection using LiTunes:Windows() and then iterates though these. When it finds either a BrowserWindow, or a PlaylistWindow, I want to do more processing. But I'm unable to downcast the IITWindow object to an IITBrowserWindow.
Here's a snippet of what I'm trying to do:
IITWindowCollection* iIWindowCollection;
long lCount;
hRes = iITunes->get_Windows(&iIWindowCollection);
hRes = iIWindowCollection->get_Count(&lCount);
IITWindow *iITWindow;
ITWindowKind iTWindowKind;
BSTR bstrName;
IITBrowserWindow *iITBrowserWindow;
IITTrackCollection *iITTrackCollection;
for (long i = 1; i <= lCount; i++) {
hRes = iIWindowCollection->get_Item(i, &iITWindow);
hRes = iITWindow->get_Name(&bstrName);
hRes = iITWindow->get_Kind(&iTWindowKind);
switch (iTWindowKind) {
case ITWindowKindBrowser:
// At this point I need to refer to the object as iITBrowserWindow, not iITWindow.
iITBrowserWindow = dynamic_cast<IITBrowserWindow *>(iITWindow);
if (iITBrowserWindow) {
hRes = iITBrowserWindow->get_SelectedTracks(&iITTrackCollection);
break;
case ITWindowKindPlaylist:
break;
When I run it, I get an exception on the dynamic_cast.
What am I doing wrong here, as I can't see why this shouldn't work.
Or is my lack of C++ knowledge that obvious. <GRIN>.
Cheers.

Ha. I was partly right with my comment about lack of C++ knowledge. It turned out to be a lack of knowledge on how Windows COM works.
In case anyone else runs into this, and finds this thread, (Yeah, right. LOL) here's the answer.
You can't just "cast" from one object to another. You have to use the IUnknown::QueryInterface function to get the pointer to the new Object.
Easy when you know how, not !!!!!
Now onto other questions about how to access parts of the UI through this interface.
Cheers.

ITunes COM interface missing

I have recently updated to iTunes 8 (8.0.0.35 on Windows XP Pro). I was using a little self-written C# application to control iTunes using my mouse's special buttons (the mouse driver supports this out of the box, however not in the way I want it to).
After the update, the application stopped working throwing an “interface not supported” 0x80004002 E_NOINTERFACE error. When I tried recompiling the tool from source, there was an error loading the iTunes COM interface. When checking the list of available COM interfaces in Visual Studio I noticed the “iTunes {VersionNumber} Type Library” interface was not listed.
Did Apple remove the iTunes Type Library COM interface or was there just some error while installing iTunes 8 so it did not get registered?
Btw: You don't need Visual Studio to check whether the COM interface is available; a lot of other applications allow using COM interfaces aswell, i.e. Visual Basic for Office (go to Tools » References and search the list for iTunes; my system lists iTunesAdmin, iTunesOutlookAddIn, iTunesPhotoSupport)

I have heard of several people having this issue.
Refer to this thread:
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=8048746&#8048746
Maybe you can figure out which registry settings to add/delete...
But you can apparently also fix it by:
1) uninstalling iTunes 8
2) Installing iTunes 7.7
3) Uninstalling iTunes 7.7
4) installing iTunes 8 again
(reference http://groups.google.com/group/itunes-com-developers/browse_thread/thread/61918c cf74a32e8)
Fun, right?

I don't think the COM interface supports what you want to do. You can get the documentation here:

Itunes COM SDK: cannot register function with iTunes Outgoing Interface

I am doing benchmarks and I want to time the encoding of a Music CD. In order to stop the "clock" and compute the time I am trying to bind a function with the _IITConvertOperationStatusEvents::OnConvertOperationCompleteEvent()
I am writing a AutoIt script and I can create the iTunes application object but when I use the ObjEvent function to register my function with the event above it causes a COM exception to be raised and the ObjEvent completes with an error. The exception code I get is 80040200 which seems to be a generic error.
$objApp=ObjCreate("iTunes.Application")
$SinkObject=ObjEvent($objApp, "ITEvent", "_IITConvertOperationStatusEvents")
<<exception 80040200>>
Browsing the iTunes COM TypeLib the _IITConvertOperationStatus does not seem to be a child in the iTunes object hierarchy so I think this is way the exception is being raised. I have tried to register another function with another outgoing interface and this works just perfectly: _IiTunesEvents::OnQuitting()
Do I need to create another object which gets passed as the first parameter to the ObjEvent function?
*Here is the entire script:*
$ITSourceKindAudioCD = 3
$begin = 0
Global $trackName, $progressValue, $maxProgressValue, $SinkObject
$oMyError = ObjEvent("AutoIt.Error","MyErrFunc") ; Install a custom error handler
$objApp = ObjCreate("iTunes.Application")
If @error Then
MsgBox(0, "ObjCreate", "Create Object Failed", 3)
Exit
EndIf
$event = ObjEvent($objApp, "ITEvent1_", "_IiTunesEvents")
If @error Then
MsgBox(0, "Failed", "IiTunesEvent binding failed", 5)
Exit
EndIf
$SinkObject = ObjEvent($objApp, "ITEvent_", "_IITConvertOperationStatusEvents") ; Assign events to UDFs starting with IEEvent_
If @error Then
MsgBox(0, "ObjEvent binding", "ObjEvent failed!", 10)
$objApp.Quit()
Exit
EndIf
$colSources = $objApp.Sources
$begin = TimerInit()
For $objSource in $colSources
If $objSource.Kind = $ITSourceKindAudioCD Then
$strName = $objSource.Name
$colPlaylists = $objSource.Playlists
$objPlaylist = $colPlaylists.ItemByName($strName)
$colTracks = $objPlaylist.Tracks
$objApp.ConvertTracks2($colTracks)
EndIf
Next
Do
; Wait around for the ripping to complete
Until False
; This is my custom error handler
Func MyErrFunc()
$HexNumber = hex($oMyError.number,8)
Msgbox(0,"","We intercepted a COM Error !" & @CRLF & _
"Number is: " & $HexNumber & @CRLF & _
"Windescription is: " & $oMyError.windescription )
EndFunc
Func ITEvent1_OnQuittingEvent()
MsgBox(0, "Bye", "Bye-Bye", 10)
EndFunc
func ITEvent_OnConvertOperationCompleteEvent()
$dif = TimerDiff($begin)
MsgBox(0,"Time Difference",$dif)
$objApp.Quit()
EndFunc

much of this is speculation because I can't remember how many previous versions of iTunes were on these machines...but this is what we're seeing:
extra entries in two registry keys... when it didn't work these two registry entries contained "AppID" values:
HKEYCLASSESROOT\CLSID\{B9E1D2CB-CCFF-4AA6-9579-D7A4754030EF}\Implemented
Categories
HKEYLOCALMACHINE\SOFTWARE\Classes\CLSID\{B9E1D2CB-CCFF-4AA6-9579-D7A4754030EF}
with the APpID set to the same iTunes CLSID string:
{B9E1D2CB-CCFF-4AA6-9579-D7A4754030EF}
and when it did work the AppIDs entries were gone. this is only on XP.
on vista there never was any AppID entry.
but, again, i wonder if that was added by previous versions of iTunes which we didn't install on the vista machines...
Also, worthy of noting is this post from Apple:

ITunes Store Interface does not load.

Is anyone else seeing this in the iTunes Store? It is like all of the HTML in the interface has bad or broken links.

Am I crazy???

"We could not complete your iTunes Store request. You do not have permission to access the requested resource.
There was an error in the iTunes Store. Please try again later."
Same problem here. I've done the following things and had these (interesting) results:
Things that have not gotten access to the store----------
-Disabled firewall
-Bypassed router and plugged PC right into DSL modem
-Reinstalled iTunes
-updated everything through my manufacturer's update program, windows update, and apple update
-removing, then adding iTunes to firewall exception list
-rebooting PC
-launching store via a weblink
Things that have gotten access to store-----------
-used laptop over my home WiFi (same connection as desktop)
-made a new Vista user and opened iTunes store with that user
I cannot find anything useful on Apple's support portal. What really gets me is that my podcasts have stopped downloading!

ITunes Buggy Interface

Hola todos.
Some elements of the iTunes interface recently bugged after a classic I-don't-know-what-happened but without any kernel panic or anything like this, and they stay this way. This looks a bit like a badly loaded webpage, you know... Otherwise, it works just fine, but it's not really beautiful and I wanted to fix this, though it's not a huge problem.
Well I knew some people make interface changes, skinning iTunes. I went to download a new interface and replaced the file in the iTunes contents as explained, but to no results (even after a restart of iTunes or a reboot). It occurs that if I change the name from iTunes.app to iTunes6.app, it now loads the new interface just well, but then the integration with other apps doesn't work anymore. So I changed it back to simply iTunes.app, with the corrupted interface getting back with no changes.
I tried to delete iTunes, download and install it again, but it still does the same thing unless I change the name again.
Does anybody know how to fix this?
Thanks for your answers. Chau.

Can someone respond with basic directions on how to get back to the previous version? Or, at least direct me to a site that explains the process? Thanks ahead of time.

Itunes store interface

Why can't they update the ITunes interface to scale up the fonts and/or zoom in on the store. On our 24inch imac @ 1920x1200 the icons are about the size of postage stamps and the text is miniscule.
I can't imagine trying to read it on the new 27inch imac which is even higher rez. Whats up with that. Is it me? Does any one else struggle with trying to view the store content? I know how to zoom the whole screen with ctrl-mousescroll. I love the way Safari zooms, I wish they would do the same to Itunes.

I suffer from this design failure too. I have a MacBook Pro 17" with a monitor resolution of 1920x1280. I have a MacPro with the 30" Apple Cinema Display, resolution 2560x1600.
It is IMPOSSIBLE to read any of the titles or reviews or anything relevant in the iTunes Store without using the Zoom feature, which, of course, is applied to everything on the monitor, not just the iTunes Store.
If it's a design issue ("We at Apple know best; you don't), then at least offer the end-user an option under Preferences to enlarge type and re-arrange the grid (oh, wait -- "We at Apple know best; you don't).
Never mind. I'll just keep using the Zoom feature.
FAIL.

How would I save my customized iTunes library interface?

Hello all
I want to reboot my hard drive due to some operating problems and corrupted files, and as I did rudely discover in my previous attempts, all information in my personalized iTunes library along with (obviously) the program itself was lost, despite my attempt at backing the library up.
Now, I have amassed and organized a somewhat large collection of music on my iTunes again, have all the files backed up outside the computer itself, and I need to do a bit of house cleaning. So I guess my question is whether there is any way I can save the interface of my iTunes library, edited and customized information and all?
thanks in advance

You cannot use his library any more than he can use yours. You can, however, use Home Sharing:
