ITunes Mini Player Not Available?`

Hey, I have an iBook G4 with the latest OS X version of Tiger and of iTunes. However, for some reason, I do not have an option in the Advanced preference to turn my iTunes window into the mini player. Oddly enough, I do have the option to keep the mini player floating above other windows. Is there some new feature in 6.0.1 that eliminates the mini player? Is my iTunes flawed?

I've got another tip.
To make the mini-player zoom to real 'mini':
Click (and hold) on the bottom right corner of the mini-player and move the mouse to the left.
At a certain point the window will collaps to show only the control buttons.
To expand the mini-player to show the song info again, click on the bottom right corner, hold, and drag to the right.

  • ITunes mini player and Spaces

    I am a big fan of using Spaces to clean up my workflow, but I have one minor quibble/question. I would like to display the iTunes mini player (the one you get by pressing the green button in iTunes twice) in ALL of my spaces. That way I can pause, fastforward, etc no matter what Space I'm working in.I don't really want to assign iTunes to ALL spaces to accomplish this. Any thoughts?

    There are a number of utilities that will put Icons for Rew|Play/Pause|Fwd on the menu bar, or you can use the keyboard on most modern Macs with designated assignments for these functions on F7, 8 and 9.
    Not exactly what you want, but like you, it's what I have to make do with.

  • ITunes mini player on top of a full screen Safari page

    When you make a full screen Safari page, is there any way to put the iTunes mini player go on top of this page? I did this once by accident, but now whenever I try to open iTunes while in full screen Safari, the iTunes mini player opens to the main desktop page.

    Thanks for the reply.
    I'm listening to an audio podcast that's reffering to images on his sight. When you go full screen it shows the images best, but you lose the ability (space bar) to pause/play the podcast audio. It would be nice to be able to view and study the images a bit longer, but not having to keep futsing around with everything.
    Is there a way to get the Mini player in the same Space as Safari?

  • Itunes mini player in keynote

    After searching through the forums I haven't really stumbled upon an answer to this...
    Is there a way to see the itunes mini player in your keynote presentation screen? I have my macbook set up to a projector and I need to play music throughout the presentation. I would love to be able to control itunes without having to leave the presenter screen so there's no interruption in my presentation. You can customize a lot of options for your presenter screen but the itunes mini player is not one of them. Is there a workaround that anyone has found?
    Thanks so much for the help.

    If you search the Keynote forums for "Dashboard" and "Widget", you will find a technique for having widgets float above Keynote presentations (and there are plenty of iTunes controller widgets). I have not tested this in Snow Leopard, however.

  • Mini Player Not Remembering Position

    I like to keep the iTunes mini-player in the lower right-hand corner of my screen, and until today it would always remember that position when I clicked the zoom button. Now, every time I click the zoom to go to the mini-player, it centers it on the screen. I have not done anything to update my system since yesterday. All the latest updates and fixes are applied. Any ideas?

    Moved it to a new location a couple times and that fixed it.

  • Error message "iTunes Helper Resources not available" and saving to wrong Drive

    I am trying to upgrade iTunes to 10.7 on my PC but I keep getting the error message "iTunes Helper Resources not available". Diagnostics take me a support page which talks about not being able to see the device in iTunes - but I can see the device without problems.
    I thought I would try reinstalling iTunes from the webpage and it downloaded to my PC fine but when I went to setup, it showed me it is saving to a DVD drive - not my Hard drive. It also won't let me change the location for the file. I have no idea how that's happened as I obviously don't use the DVD drive as a USB (although the PC see's it as one) and I've never chosen it as the location for iTunes in the 7-8 years that I've been using it.
    I then thought I'd try uninstalling it and reinstalling it (to the correct drive) but again, it comes up that the DVD drive is invalid and won't uninstall iTunes.
    So I'm stuck and haven't been able to find anything helpful on the support pages or in iTunes Help.
    Please someone help ...
    Thanks.

    Try the following user tip. (Probably, the section on clearing the installation database might be best given that you've currently got a drive on the problematic letter at the moment.)

  • HT201272 How do I download previously purchased albums from iTunes when the album has either disappeared from my computer or the tunes are not playable?  The album shows as purchased on the iTunes store, but not available to download to my authorized devi

    How do I download previously purchased albums from iTunes when the album has either disappeared from my computer or the tunes are not playable?  The albums show as purchased on the iTunes store, but not available to download to my authorized device.  I also have albums that appear in my library, but are not able to be added to my iPod from my computer

    When you download something from the iCloud, it is a brand new licensed copy. Your iCloud account just contains a notation that you have this app. It isn't storing an actual copy of the app from your Mac.

  • Sign-In msg:  iTunes is temporarily not available. Please try again later.

    I cannot sign into iTunes with my PC since downloading update.  The store loads, but I cannot sign in.  The message says: Itunes is temporarily not available.  Please try again later.   I have windows 7 pro, 64 bit, an authorized computer, and downloaded the latest iTunes update.  Been at least four days now....
    So far, Apple support has responded once and had me uninstall everything, literally everything, pertaining to Apple, including QuickTime.  Then, reinstall iTunes.  They did not mention reinstalling QuickTime, but I now have done that too since nothing improved otherwise.  Still cannot sign into my account for the store.  Am waiting for the latest Apple support response, but would appreciate hearing from anyone who has this problem and found a way out of it.
    Someone suggested that I try to authorize my computer even though it is already authorized because that worked for them, but that did not work for me--Still cannot sign into my account in order to complete the so-called authorization. 
    I wonder what is next after I can finally sign on--iPhone, iPad, iPods recognition and/or synch problems...?  I cringe.

    is this related to collab suite. if ys pls post in collab suite forum. this is reports forum

  • I am getting constantly the message: itunes store is not available. try again later

    Both in my Apple TV (Latest 1080 version) and my Macbook Pro I am getting constanlty the message "itunes store is not available. try again later"
    I have checked my network and it is working while this is happening so it should not be a problem related to my internet connection.
    I have also used without problem my three apple tv so it cannot be a firewall.
    This is happening randomly but more frequently.
    All software versions have been updated and problem persists

    I tried today turning OFF the Dolby Digital feature in the apple tv. testing......

    Why I can't rent a movies in iTunes I'm using ipad2 and if I view movies in iTunes it's not available in migrating store

    If you live in a country where the feature is not available, you will not be able to rent movies. Not all iTunez content is available worldwide.
    You can see what is available where you live here.

  • Itunes music store not available in your country yet.

    I just did a clean reinstall of OS 10.3.5, and when I try to access the music store I get
    "itunes music store not available in your country yet.
    You will be able to browse and listen to previews but wont be able to purchase music. To browse music store, select a country below."
    So I select United States and nothing happens.
    I am in the US and have an itunes account.
    The itunes version is 4.2.
    Also, what is the highest itunes version I can use with 10.3.5?
    I am held down to this OS version because of some other software on my mac that won't work with anything higher than 10.3.5.
    thanks
    roger c.

    First, the iTunes Store has required iTunes 6 at minimum for quite a while now. So you're going to have to upgrade from iTunes 4.2. If you want to run iTunes 7, you'll need to get to Mac OS X 10.3.9. Otherwise you can download iTunes 6.0.5 here, but you won't be able to purchase movies or (I believe) videos unless you have iTunes 7. There's also no guarantee how long iTunes 6 will work.
    Second, you've posted in the iTunes for Windows forum. Normally you'll get the quickest and most accurate responses if you post in the iTunes for Mac forum.
    Regards.

  • ITunes Mini Player Does not show artwork

    I have 100% of my music tagged with album art.
    Album art shows 100% of the time in every other possible place in iTunes - including mini player next up.
    When I look at mini player history, album art is missing 99% of the time.
    Anybody have the fix?

    I also find what Apple has done to be a huge step backwards.
    Apple seems to be in the dark regarding the user experience - seemingly favoring form over function. I almost feel they are trying to just make things look pretty to please users in store but leaving real users left out to dry in regards to features and smart interface design.
    The mini player is my primary interface for using iTunes - now this "upgrade" omits the playhead, time elapsed and remaining, volume controls (at a glance), full playback details, etc. How is this at all an improvement?
    I suppose if making the interface "clean" - yeah - it's a home run. So pretty. So useless. Great job!
    I said the same regarding Quicktime. I still use Quicktime 7 Pro (!!!!) over Quicktime for OSX because it has full controls, easy edit features (compared to the simplistic garbage of the new player) and most importantly - does not have movie controls overlaying my movie!!!
    I know that's a tangent - but let's have a return to controls that sit below the movie as opposed to over it.
    Apple, I truly love your products and own a significant amount of your gear - but you really need to sort out the user experience.
    Cheers!

  • How can I play a movie in iTunes mini player?  (Progress bar button broken?)

    It took forever to figure out how to get iTunes to even OPEN a new window for movie playback, but once I finally found instructions (click the button with movie art to the left of the progress bar to open in new window) they only partially worked.  A new window opens, but movie playback continues in the main window.  The new window shows a freeze frame of the scene displayed at the moment I clicked the progress bar button.  The new window looks just like the mini player, and its control buttons work, but they effect the main window's movie playback not the new window/mini player where I want to watch the movie.
    Is it my progress bar that's broken?  I'm all updated with iTunes version 11.1.5.  Does this version not play well with my OS X 10.6.8?
    Ultimately I just want to be able to play a movie in the mini player while using other applications; surely that's possible.
    [Also, on the "Operating System" dropdown menu below, I just selected OS X 10.6.8 and then the dropdown showed "No operating system selected" and the selection arrows no longer work.  Any ideas what happened?  My MacBook Old feels so janky right now.]

  • ITunes Mini Player

    Yesterday I made my own account on Windows (W7) so I had to download iTunes. The other account I was using before I made one of my own has a revamped mini player on iTunes which is version 11.3.1.2. When I started using my own Windows account and transferred all of my music from the old iTunes to the other, it worked out fine. But now when I click on the mini player it gives me a totally different one from the other iTunes. Both iTunes are the same software 11.3.1.2 and everything is the same but the mini player. The one that I like is the kind of big one that shows the album cover and its about the size of a cube. The one that I have now is very tiny and has a rectangular shape. I don't like that one too much because its tiny and doesn't show the visualizer like the other mini player does. Can someone help me out? How do i get the small but not so small cube shaped one back? I'd really appreciate it. thanks in advance!

    A few questions to start off. What version of iTunes are you on? And if you try pressing ctrlcommandZ, what happens? That's the keyboard shortcut for that.
