ITunes COM interface and iPod Chapters

Hello everybody
Does anyone know how to make Chapters through the COM interfaces for iTunes? Looking at the documentation there's no such functionality as far as I can see, but double checking anyway.
If not, is there any other way to make chapters for MP4 files that are supported by iPod? I am on Windows so ChapterTool is not available to me.
Thanks!

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

    hi there, I need help .. I have 2 gen ipod touch and I restore my ipod around 11:00 pm and now its 1:20 am and on my screen its the iTunes logo and the usb cord and when I plug my charger in my laptop .. iTunes comes up and this what it saids "iTunes has detected an ipod recovery mode. you must restore this ipod before it can be used with iTunes" so what do I do.. do I let my ipod died right out & then try it .. because I restore it ,... it was beening to slow... so please help me  ?

    Maybe:
    Restore loop (being prompted to restore again after a restore successfully completes)
    Troubleshoot your USB connection. If the issue persists, out-of-date or incorrectly configured third-party security software may be causing this issue. Please follow Troubleshooting security software issues. .
    Next try placing in DFU mode and then restoring.

  • Unavailable iTunes COM interface (FAO Robert Jacobson)

    Something hasn't set up properly or has broken which causes no iTunes VBS or Javascript files to execute, they simply respond that they cannot create the 'iTunes.Application' object.
    Does anyone know enough about COM interfaces and Vista to explain why this is happening or how to fix it? (obviously reinstalling iTunes, different versions, registering vbscript etc have no effect).
    (this is a continuation of http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=8268641)

    Sounds like the COM interface did not register. This seems to have happened to several people when upgrading from iTunes 7 to iTunes 8. I don't think it is specific to Vista, or x64.
    I would first try a "repair" install. In other words, if you have iTunes 8 installed, try installing it again and selecting the "Repair" option.
    If that doesn't work, try this:
    1) Uninstall iTunes 8
    2) Install iTunes 7.7
    3) Uninstall iTunes 7.7
    4) install iTunes 8 again

  • 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?

    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.

  • Itunes has detected and iPod in recoverty mode.

    Every time I connect my Nano (2nd gen 8gb), iTunes gives me the message
    "iTunes has detected and iPod in recovery mode. You must restore thsi Ipod before it can be used with iTunes."
    So I go through the restore process, and it resets and then, comes back into the same message. I am in an endless restore loop.
    I have tried different usb ports, computers, reinstalled the software, reset the ipod. But iTunes keeps wanting to restore the iPod.

    take a look

  • 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?

  • ITunes has detected and Ipod in Recovery Mode...

    After in stalling ITunes 7 on my Windows XP machine, I received the following error when I tried to sync my IPod. "ITunes has detected and Ipod in Recovery Mode. You must restore this IPod before it can be used with ITunes." After completing the restore, it tells me to leave my IPod connected. Then it just comes back with the exact same message about recovery mode. Now I have an Ipod with no songs on it, and I am unable to sync it with ITunes any longer. Does anyone have any solutions to this bug. Everything was working perfectly prior to installing ITunes version 7.0.1.8.
    IPod   Windows XP  

    I had the exact same problem with my new 8 gb Nano. I tried putting the Nano into disk mode as was suggest in another discussion thread, but that did not make any difference. I finally discovered that my shutting the computer down and not logging onto the network after it rebooted, Itunes was able to recognize the Nano correctly, and proceeded with installing my music. If you are using a home or work network I would try not logging into it before you update your Ipod.
    Good Luck!

  • Do PlayFile and AddFile still exist in the iTunes COM interface?

    I'm playing around with the iTunes COM SDK on Windows. I'd like to come up with a script that causes iTunes to play a video file, and either the PlayFile (associated with the liTunes interface) or AddFile (IITUserPlaylist) methods ought to do the trick -- at least in theory.
    Unfortunately, neither of them work. They're both still apparently valid method calls, since my Java -> COM bridge barfs when I feed it invalid method names. But neither of them actually does anything. By way of contrast, OpenURL and AddURL both work perfectly -- and they'd be viable workarounds, save that they both assume the input file is streaming audio and store it in the library as such.
    Have these methods been deprecated? If so, what have they been replaced with? Or is it more likely that I'm running afoul of one gotcha or another?
    Right now, the only workaround I can think of is to write code that edits "iTunes Music Library.xml" directly, and I'd rather avoid that for what should be bloody obvious reasons.
    Thanks in advance for any insight anyone has to offer on this.

    In general:
    - The best way to check if files are in a library is to drag the whole media folder to the library.  If something was missed it will be added.  If it is in the library is won't be added a second time.
    - If you have a second copy of a file and iTunes does not currently list that specific file in its database then even if it is identical to one already in the database it will add it a second time.  So if you have file xyz on the internal drive and the external drive and add them to iTunes you will end up with two entries for the same thing in iTunes because you really do have to copies of the files.  While this can happen with two copies on a single drive, it will almost definitely be the case when you have a copy of a file on two drives because iTunes really sees them as two different things.
    -Unless you know how iTunes works, avoid moving files yourself.  Let the consolidate feature do all the file moving.  Manually moving files can really mess up iTunes unless you know what you are doing and have iTunes set to not try to do it itself.
    - There's no clean and easy way to delete duplicates.  The best thing is to change practice so you don't create them.   Here are  references:

  • ITunes Not Responding and iPod notUpdating

    Everytime I connect my Ipod to the usb, it shows up on itunes and as a drive. But when usually the ipod should be updating, it brings up a window saying itunes isn't responding,giving me options to send the error report or not, and then no matter which i choose, itunes closes and ipod does not update. Even if I reopen itunes, the difficulty happens again.Please help. I have updated my ipod with the latest updater and reinstalled iTunes.
    THANKS

    This is most likely a software conflict (or series of them) in windows.
    First, make sure you have Service Pack 4. Second, make sure you are using the USB ports on the back of your machine, as often any ports on the front are low-powered and can cause interface problems. Third, make sure your iPod is NOT connected when you boot up your machine. Fourth, make sure the username you are working under on your computer has the necessary permissions to run programs, download, install updates, restore, etc.
    Then make sure that all of your hardware drivers are up to date; USB, sound card and firewall drivers are probably most important here. Also, make sure you have uninstalled any older versions of iTunes that may still be on your system, in your registry. You will also probably want to clean up any background programs that might be conflicting, such as AVG or other anti-virus/spyware monitoring programs.

  • ITunes COM Interface - Podcasts

    Hello ...
    If anyone is familiar with the iTunesLib.dll COM interface ...
    I can't figure out for the life of me how to emulate deleting a podcast feed (by right clicking the feed in the Podcasts playlist and clicking "Delete") in code.
    I can iterate through each URLTrack and delete those, but the name of the feed always remains.
    Even shelling out and deleting the folder (under "\\Itunes Music\Podcasts\" does not get the job done ...
    Anyone know how to do this with the iTunesLib interface? Or even if you might tell me where this information is physically stored when you subscribe to a podcast so that deleting it via the COM interface will actually delete the feed (and not just the tracks...).
    Thanks.

    I don't think this is possible.
    If you don't already have it, the documentation for the COM interface is here:
    http://developer.apple.com/sdk/itunescomsdk.html
    You might try asking in the Developer or the Software Development 101 forums (even though the forums seem to be for Mac development...)

  • Can I run two separate ITune Accounts & Libraries and ipods on one computer

    I have a friend visiting for a month and they want to use their IPod Nano and ITunes account on my computer. i.e. purchase and download their own songs via Itunes, sync with their Ipod etc. the same way they would on their own home computer, while they are here.
    I already have Itunes installed on my computer for my own IPod Shuffle, and related account for buying music etc. and want to continue to sync my Ipod through my own account of course
    Is there a way I can have both of these Ipods functioning fully with separate Itune accounts and libraries on my computer? How do I do this?
    Thanks for any help you can provide.

    OK.... I've ran into a problem and don't know how to proceed with this.
    The 2nd user is set up with their ITunes account and we have successfully purchased a few songs.
    What I expected to do was sync their Ipod and have the songs already on their IPod copy into the "new" Library we just set up. However, indications are that if I use "sync", it will erase the songs presently on the IPod and then only put back the few new songs we just purchased. (I tried a few other things but cannot get the songs from the IPOD into the ITunes Library or any other folder to preserve them)
    1. If it is even possible, how do I get the songs off the IPod into the newly established Library?
    2. If I indeed cannot sync the IPOD / Library - how do I get the newly purchased songs from the Library to the IPOD without erasing the songs already on the Ipod.
    Thanks, hope you can help!
