ITunes COM interface for Windows

Anyone know what is the newest version?
I would suspect that an updated documentation was available for iTunes 10.
The one for download is rather old.
Regards
Thomas

Hi, welcome to Apple Discussions.
The version I have is 8.1.0.52. I'm not aware of a newer version, although I've just failed to find the download in the ADC site, and it doesn't seem to be there, so perhaps an update is imminent.

  • ITunes COM API for Windows - iTunes 7.7 broken!

    I use the iTunes COM API for Windows to control iTunes as part of a program which helps users create audiobooks.
    Version 7.7.0.43 of iTunes breaks this software. So far as I can determine, the iTunes.ConvertTracks2 and iTunes.ConvertFiles2 routines are now broken, in that they no longer return a reference to the converted tracks.
    Is this a bug on Apple's part, or is it a fundamental change? The COM API documentation describes the earlier behavior, which makes sense.

    I'm seeing the exact same behaviour in my application calling the COM API from Perl. No track reference can be obtained after ConvertTracks2 completes.
    What's going on?

  • 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:

  • 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 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:

  • 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?

  • Can't get itunes to work for windows xp 64 bit

    I can't get itunes to work for windows xp 64 bit. It won't even download.

    These are the Windows requirements according to the iTunes dpownload site http://www.apple.com/uk/itunes/download/http://:
    Windows XP Service Pack 2 or later; 32-bit editions of Windows Vista, Windows 7 or Windows 8
    64-bit editions of Windows Vista, Windows 7 or Windows 8 require the iTunes 64-bit installer
    xp 64 bit is not mentioned but it doesn't seem to be supported for the latest ITunes so it seems that you're out of luck.

  • Downloading iTunes 7.6 for windows not working properly

    OK, I downloaded iTunes 7.6 for windows 3 separate times. The first time after completing the download, an error message popped up that states: "iTunes cannot run because some of its required files are missing. Please reinstall iTunes." Well I went back to your site two more times to download the software again, each time I get a pop-up that asks if I want to remove iTunes or repair it, each time I select REPAIR and it goes through the download process and says it is complete. Then each time I attach my shuffle, that error message pops up again and says there that iTunes is missing files. SOMEBODY PLEASE HELP!!!! I CANNOT ATTACH MY SHUFFLE TO ACCESS MY MUSIC!!!!

  • ITunes Error 7 (Windows error 127) after installing iTunes 64-bit for Windows

    After installing iTunes 64-bit for Windows (latest build), I get an error pop-up saying:
    iTunes was not installed correctly. Please reinstall iTunes
    Error 7 (Windows error 127)
    I've gone thru the uninstall, reboot and reinstall process three or four times now. Still nothing.
    Furthermore, after clicking okay to the error, it continues to pop up on it's own every 45 seconds or so.
    There was one other error I came across after trying to launch iTunes after installation.
    See both error messages here:
    http://screencast.com/t/DSg4PpKF5BeX

    Brilliant. Thanks a lot. I've wasted a couple of hours on this nasty bug, & trying all the other suggestions across various threads again and again.
    I now find I had the same registry entry hanging on, despite uninstalling & wiping everything again and again. Having now deleted this key, (I don't even have an iPod), & iTunes 11.1.14 now opens at long last.
    But WHY is this bug not fixed? Enough people are suffering with this across the forum. WHERE is Apple support on this?
    It should have been added to their page at 
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1923
    by now, why hasn't it???
    It's not good enough!
    Re:
    [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\SharedDlls]
    "C:\\Program Files\\iPod\\bin\\iPodService.exe"=dword:80000000
    AHA! This entry for iPodService.exe still exhisted.  So I had no folders on the PC, no installs on the PC and no services running.... BUT this was still in the Registry.
    Step 5 - Delete only the Registry entry above.  NO REBOOT
    Step 6 - Reinstall iTunes64.exe

  • Need IInputPanelConfiguration interface for windows 7

    Hi,

    The given interface supports windows 8
    But, I need interface for windows 7.
    Please help
    Thanks,

    I cannot find a interface with the same functionality in IInputPanelConfiguration in windows.
    Maybe you could try something like calling Process.Start(“C:…TabTip.exe”).

  • Where is the portuguese version of itunes 7.x for windows ?

    Where is the portuguese version of itunes 7.x for windows ? this is the link showing down portuguese with one of languages.

    Hi, Andre.
    Unfortunately, it doesn't seem as though Apple's reference to Portuguese support is entirely accurate. Or, depending on your point of view, not accurate at all. : - (
    In addition to there not being an option to select Portuguese in the iTunes Preferences, this article in the Apple Knowledge Base says that the language used in Portugal's iTunes Store is "British English".
    I'm guessing the reference you found means to say that there is an iTS for Portugal, not a Portuguese language iTS ... or a Portugese language iTunes for that matter. But it doesn't say it very well.
    You might want to let Apple know your opinion on the matter by submitting the form at the bottom of this Support page .

  • The latest version of iTunes com addin for outlook cause outlook to hang when exiting

    iTunes Version 11.0.0.163 com addin for Outlook causes Outlook 2003 used on a Windows XP machine to not close when exiting.  I have verified via the Task Manager that it Outlook does not close.  I have gone into Outlook and disabled the addin and Outlook closes properly.  Enable it again and Outlook once again does not close.  This did not start hapening until I upgraded to the latest version of iTunes.  I have both an iPhone and iPad that I need to keep synced with my Outlook calendars, contacts and notes.
    How do I get in touch with someone at Apple to report this.  I have been all over their website, but cannot seem to find any email or phone number to report software bugs.
