ITunes COM SDK 1.12 - what has changed?

Through the iTunes for Windows COM interface, using CheckVersion(), iTunes 8.1.1. reports being compatible through the iTunes type library 1.12.
Howevever, the CHM file that comes with the latest SDK documentaiton only documents changes through Type library 1.11.
What has been changed or added for iTunes Type library 1.12?
Thanks,
Joe

When this enhancement was implemented (in iTunes 8.1.1), I tested it and it worked.
IIRC, the track had to be "dead" (i.e. have an empty Location property) in order for you to be able to write a new Location.
Another thing to watch out for, (again, IIRC) is that when you write a new Location, iTunes doesn't verify the path you pass is valid. You could end up with a dead track if you don't verify the path in your app.
Hope this helps,
Rob

ITunes COM SDK to sync Audiobook with iOS 5 issue

My application has been using iTunes COM SDK for Windows to add tracks into iOS devices and it's been working for years. Until the recently released iTunes 10.5 versus iOS 5, the added tracks are missing from the iOS 5 devices (iPhone, iPad, etc.).
The SDK calls are returned successfully and from desktop, the iTunes 10.5 shows the tracks under "Books" folder of iOS 5 device correctly. I can also play it form desktop. But, from the iOS 5 device, the track is totally missing!!! However, if I perform a search in the device with the track name, then I can find it and play it. It just does not list under the Audiobooks folder of the device!
If I used the same SDK calls to add to "Music" folder, then it works fine.
Any idea? I suspect it is a bug either in iTunes 10.5 or iOS 5? Because apparently the audio track is there, iTunes 10.5 sees it, but the iOS 5 can't?
Please help.
Thanks.

Thanks for the reply. The functions from iTunes COM SDK are straightforward. Find the IITIPodSource to the connected device and then obtain its IITLibraryPlaylist interface to call AddFile() or AddTrack() depends on whether the audio file is from file system or from iTunes Library. The trick for the audio file to be categorized in Audiobooks is to use ".m4b" file extension for AAC encoded format.
It has been working for earlier iTunes versus iOS 4 and under, and it is still working, the file still shows up in iTunes > iOS 5 device > Books. However, the iOS 5 device's Music app does not pick it up. I found that if I tried to use ".m4a" then the iOS 5 device will pick it up under "Songs" (or "Music" under iTunes).
I think either the AddTrack() or AddFile() calls have bugs or the iOS 5 Music app has glitch that cannot pickup certain files added into device. I've submitted bugs to http://bugreport.apple.com, at the same time, maybe someone from the community has idea to work around this?

Every time I try to download and app to my iPhone, it tells me that I need to change to South African App Store. I live in South Africa and have purchased apps before, what has changed ?

When purchasing an app on my iPhone, it says I must first change from the US App Store to South Africa, I live in South Africa and have downloaded several apps before without any problem. What has changed ?

Hi HayCam,
Sounds like you accidently got changed to another store....
So, go to Settings>iTunes & App Store, and click on your AppleID at the top. Then click on View account, sign in, and then click on Country/Region, and follow the instructions to change your store to South Africa.
That should take care of it!
Cheers,
GB

ITune COM SDK supports GUI access?

I am searching for API to log-in to iTune with Apple ID and Password.
I have Apple ID and Passwords written in an excel file.
What I want to do is to:
Read the excel file line by line to take ID/PASS
Log-in to iTunes with that ID/PASS
Click the download button
Is there any library for this purpose (For step #2 and #3)? Does iTunes COM SDK support that GUI (input in to the ID - PASSWORD field) access?
This is urgent for me.
Please anyone help.
Thanks in Advance
Rahman

It seems that it is reading something in the ObAccessClient.xml file, because it receives a response from the Access Server. I would guess some sort of communications error - perhaps a certificate error if Open transport mode is not being used. Also, are the times on the asdk machine and the Access Server in sync?

CRMOD workflow notification that Includes what has changed in a record

Has anybody come up with a way to include inside workflow notifications what has changed when a record has been modified? I know I could hard code a bunch of IIF(PRE('<field1>')<>[<field1>], 'Field 1 has changed from ' + PRE('<field1>') + ' to ' + [<field1>] + ', ', IIF(PRE('<field2>')<>[<field2>], 'Filed 2 has changed from ' + PRE('<field2>') + ' to ' + [<field2>] + ', ', '')).... But if there is a less labor intensive solution that would be ideal?

Find what has changed in backups

How does one find what has changed on the backups. When I click on a backup it shows user finder window. eg: In sys timemachine window/options, I choose not to backup applications. When I click on timemachine in dock it show the last one I did with this setting. click on side bar under user/application and it shows all apps. I would think it would not show anything because I told it not to backup applications.
Maybe I am just dense...

1. open Terminal
2. cd to the directory containing the timestamped backup folders. This will be /Volumes/<yourbackup_drive>/Backups.backupdb/<your_computername>
3. run the following:
sudo diff -qrN firstbackupdir secondbackupdir
e.g.
sudo diff -qrN 2007-11-20-172936 2007-11-21-111113
Files 2007-11-20-172936/.Backup.log and 2007-11-21-111113/.Backup.log differ

Up until approx 2 months ago I could select video clips downloaded from my camera and e-mail them.Iphoto9.4.3. This no longer works. I have tried dragging to my desktop and exporting to my desktop. I am not sure what has changed. Any ideas?

Simply, sharing video via email is not advisable.
Many email services have an attachment limit of 20mb and some a limit of 10mb. As emails are sent through an array of relays, the effective limit is the smallest file size allowed on any of the relays. That means that video is rarely suitable for emailing.
Then there's the whole issue of Codecs and not all machines will have the codecs to play all videos. Plus, folks with slower connections can find it very inconvenient to download large video files.
Finally, sharing video from iPhoto via email is not supported. All that gets you is the Movie thumbnail. If you feel you must share via email then you'll need to export the video first, and attach that. Use the File -> Export command and set the kind to Original.
This User Tip
https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-4921
has details of the options in the Export dialogue.
Other than that your options include:
Upload it to a sharing site like YouTube or Vimeo and email a link - these will allow the recipient to view the material online. That will avoid the codec issues mentions, and the person can still download the video file if they wish.
Upload it to sharing services like Dropbox or YouSendIt and email a link. This will require that they download the material to their machines to view.

ITunes COM SDK broken on Windows XP??

I have an application called TuneUp Companion (http://www.tuneupmedia.com) that was working fine with iTunes 7.7 and after upgrading is broken.
It works fine on Windows Vista ...but iTunes 8 on Windows XP seems to give a message back that the iTunes COM interface is not available.
Are there known issues with the iTunes COM SDK for Windows (7/15/08 release) on Windows XP??
Thanks, Raza

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:

When I upgraded to 10.7.4 I lost the ability to use a lot of my previous software that was intel based. My Adobe suites for example. So for $29 i now have to spend $1000's to get these to work. What has changed with Mountian Lion. I am not rich?

The reason your applications do not work in Lion/Mountain Lion is that they were written for the older PowerPC CPU that all Macs used up to 2006. When Apple made its transition to the Intel CPU, they licensed software that they included in all versions of OS X (from Tiger to Leopard and optionally, Snow Leopard) called Rosetta.
Rosetta miraculously allows PowerPC applications to work on the Intel processor transparently; you do not know it is even present.
The problem is that after 6 years of the transition, Apple's license to use the underlying software expired for OS X Lion and all version thereafter (and it is doubtful that the current owner of the software, IBM, would relicense it, even if Apple were inclined to do so).
So you do not have to accept recriminations from others for previously using Rosetta without even knowing it was present and running!
So for those of use that need to upgrade to Lion/Mountain Lion, I have offered the option to install Snow Leopard (with Rosetta) into Parallels 7:

And now Mountain Lion:
If you are unable or unwilling to update your inventory of PowerPC software, this solution offers you an alternative for not more than the $29 cost of Snow Leopard and $79 cost of Parallels (cheaper via internet sources).
Full Snow Leopard installation instructions into Parallels 7 are here:

After updating to firefox 17.0 when I do a scan with Norton 360 it does not pick up tracking cookies what has changed from 16.0.02

After updating to firefox 17.0 when I do a scan with Norton 360 it no longer picks up tracking cookies. These cookies that were picked up with firefox 16.0.02 what have you changed? Further I am getting sick of these updates - at least tell us users what has changed in new versions.

Did you update Norton to the latest version to get support for Firefox 17?
