Itunes needs a "party mode"

I am hoping to have a party in the coming weeks and i know from past experience that windows has a party mode, which is great, as it allows guests to put music on without allowing them access to the rest of the computer. Is there any way i can achieve this with itunes? I've read posts about creating a 'new user' with limited access but the windows party mode method is much easier. It would be great if itunes had this kind of function. I no longer use WMP so WPM is no longer an option really as all my music is now on itunes.
I have found a voting function for itunes DJ but not all my friends have iphones/ipod touch to use this function if i simply locked my computer.
Any thoughts would be appreciated

totally agree. It seems to me like all the top notch apple programmers are working on iphone and ipad which are brilliantly coded, but they leave itunes to the rejects and college dropouts.
It's slow, the syncing is unreliable and unpredictable, it doesn't ask me which way I want to sync, and who says if I don't want to sync it should remove that content type off my phone ?
Sometimes just shutting down itunes then restarting it returns an error about missing software, until you reboot.
It has problems downloading large files (both apps, and ios updates) even on an (800+ Kbyte connection). It returns meaningless error codes unaccompanied by a human readable friendly error.
Problem is we don't have a choice, we're stuck with itunes.
Bottom line is they need to spend some money on this cow not just on the devices.

My iPhone will not turn on, when I plug it into my computer and load up iTunes its in recovery mode and the only option is to restore my device to factory settings. I have no back up of my phone I've also tried the home/sleep button thing but nothing

My iPhone 4 will not turn on, when I plug it into my computer and load up iTunes its in recovery mode and the only option is to restore my device to factory settings, I have no back up of my phone I've also tried the home/sleep button thing but nothing, I have literally done every method I was told, I checked for water damage and that's fine. I don't want to restore my phone or buy a new one or pay for repairs because that's wasting money when it could be a simple way to fix it. And yes, I've also tried charging it and turning it in. I really need some help with my phone

That does happen. It depends on how hard the server is being hit, as well as the connection speed of your system. If you are on a windows system, you will want to disable any antivirus or firewall software during the download.

Error - iTunes Library .iti file is locked on a disk or you do not have permission for this file. I can open itunes in the compatibility mode for Windows XP Service Pack 3 ???

In Windows 8 I received the error iTunes Library .iti file is locked on a disk or you do not have permission for this file. I can open itunes in the compatibility mode for Windows XP Service Pack 3.
I've tried changing permissions and sharing - nothing seems to work. mat be a Windows 8 issue???

You also need to make sure you have both read and write permission for the file, or for the whole iTunes folder for that matter. That's also done in Get Info for the file or folder concerned.

Why must I open iTunes in 32-bit mode to play Burn Notice Season 7 episodes on a MacOS 10.8.4 system?

I have an Intel Mac Pro (tower system) running MacOS 10.8.4 with iTunes 11.0.4 (4). Why must I open iTunes 11.0.4 (4) in 32-bit mode to play the latest (as in June 2013) episodes of Burn Notice (Season 7) when PRIOR episodes of Burn Notice (i.e., Season 6 and below) have no problems being played in 64-bit mode? But after I play the Season 7 episode ONCE in 32-bit mode iTunes, I can restart iTunes in 64-bit mode and then play that same episode without a problem? It seems like something in the file is erroneously set in 32-bit mode upon downloading from the iTunes Store that once played in a 32-bit mode iTunes, upgrades it so it can be played in a 64-bit mode iTunes. If I try to play the Season 7 episode in 64-bit mode iTunes without first playing in 32-mode iTunes, I get the dreaded error message, "This movie requires QuickTime, which is not supported by this version of iTunes."

Just got same problem.
#1. There is no Box, under Label or anywher to uncheck or check.
#2. The device I want to use does not have an update driver. What I really need if for the Box to check or uncheck which should be there according to Apple Help.
#3. I tried this, resetting the whole computer's kernal extension by using a Terminal command (although I don't like doing that). It didn't work. sudo systemsetup -setkernelbootarchitecture i386
So I reset it to: sudo systemsetup -setkernelbootarchitecture x86_64
But emphasize, again, I don't like doing SUDO commands in Terminal.
So...Anything else to try?
Thanks for any info that might help.

Party Mode

Hey;
My friend was showing me "Media Monkey" on his (Shudder) widows machine... and it had an awesome feature called "Party Mode" ... When activated the user could not switch away from "Media Monkey" (basically locked the computer - Password required to leave "Party Mode") ... they couldn't change any ID3 tags... they couldnt immediately change the song... just go through the list and cue whatever they wanted...
I would love to implement something like this on my MBP... I usually have my computer running with airtunes when we are partying and people generally find a way to mess with my settings or w/e...
So I guess my question is if anyone is aware of any iTunes extention/mod/etc. or OS X iTunes replacement that has such features?
(I know there is a guest account work around... but I dont really wanna go that route)

I tend to use my computer at the same time... so I would like to be able to quickly get into my profile etc. (I know ... fast user switching...)
I guess one of the main features of the other program that I would like to have is the ability to stop people from changing the current song playing...
Ya I know how party shuffle works... but alot of people come along and click whatever they wanna hear... and then the song ends up changing tonnes... I want to block those people who cut off other peoples songs.
It would be nice to also block the same song from being played more than x times in x time.
The guest account work-around is what I am currently doing... just looking for a better way... and seeing what "MediaMonkey" does... makes me want iTunes to do it.

My itunes need a update and i pluged in my ipod awhile doing the updat now my ipod won't turn on and the screen has a itunes ion on it what should i do

my itunes need a update and i pluged in my ipod awhile doing the updat now my ipod won't turn on and the screen has a itunes ion on it what should i do? i really need the help

Try:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
- If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
- Try another cable
- Try on another computer
- If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

Everytime I open my iTunes it says "Running iTunes in 64-bit mode requires Mac OS X 10.7 or later" how do I fix this?

If you don't already have a current backup, back up all data, then reinstall the OS.* You don't need to erase the startup volume, and you won't need the backup unless something goes wrong. If the system was upgraded from an older version of OS X, you may need the Apple ID and password you used.
If you use FileVault 2, then before running the Installer you must launch Disk Utility and select the icon of the FileVault startup volume ("Macintosh HD," unless you gave it a different name.) It will be nested below another icon with the same name. Click the Unlock button in the toolbar and enter your login password when prompted. Then quit Disk Utility to be returned to the main Recovery screen.
There are ways to back up a computer that isn't fully functional. Ask if you need guidance.
If you installed the Java runtime distributed by Apple and still need it, you'll have to reinstall it. The same goes for Xcode. All other data will be preserved.
*The linked support article refers to OS X 10.9 ("Mavericks"), but the procedure is the same for OS X 10.7 ("Lion") and later.

If iTunes need respond from your phone but you don't remember your password what should you do

so I can't remember my phone password, right now it says ''Phone is disabled, connect to Itunes''. I tried to reset my phone on Itunes, but I haven't synced my phone to itunes yet. Itunes need respond from my phone, but I can't don't remember my password. So I can't get in to my phone and respond.

Try recovery mode, as described towards the bottom of this page : iOS: Forgot passcode or device disabled.
If you haven't synced/backed up to your computer's iTunes then do you have an iCloud backup then you can then restore to ? If not then what you can redownload for free will show in the Purchased tabs in the iTunes, App Store and iBooks apps.

Launching iTunes in 64 bits mode

I just got my MAC upgraded to OS X Mavericks.
Now I'm trying to open iTunes. I get the error message that iTunes needs to be in 64bits mode to be launched. It tells me to uncheck the box that says to open in 32 bits. This box is not checked. Version of iTunes is 11.1.5.
what should I do next?
Thx
coachcp

Check your plug-ins.
Usually there's a "32 bit only" plugin (a visualizer most likely) that OS X is reading as loaded when iTunes opens. That causes this error.

Itunes 7 - win xp pro will not install "iTunes needs quicktime" error

iTunes 7 will not complete the install - it says the old version of iTunes could not be uninstalled and then says "iTunes needs quicktime". I tried installing quicktime alone and it also won't install saying it cannot remove the old version. Tried a manual uninstall and I get the same error.

A tip posted by b noir on the following link solved my problem. I just downloaded "Windows Installer CleanUp Utility" from Microsoft, removed my existing version of Qiucktime. Restarted my computer then started fresh with Itune 7 installation. No more problems.

When I plug my iPhone 4s into my PC, I get an error message that says iTunes needs a newer version of Apple Mobile Device Support. It wants me to uninstall both the AMDS and iTunes and then reinstall iTunes. Has anyone else run into this problem recently?

When I plug my iPhone 4s into my PC, I get a message that says iTunes needs a newer version of Apple Mobile Device Support. It wants me to uninstall both the AMDS and iTunes and then reinstall iTunes. iTunes won't recognize my phone and so I can't synch it. Has anyone else run into this problem recently and how did you resolve it? Thanks!

Thank you both. I suppose I should have prefaced my question with the concern that I've read a number of other posts from people who have had a similar issue and when they tried to follow the directions, they ran into a multitude of other problems. As you might imagine, I'm hoping to avoid the creation of new problems as I try to solve this one. Thanks again.

Okay, that means with the latest iOS software, it requires the latest version of iTunes on the computer. Which computer OS platform are you using. Now you are saying that after downloading the latest version of iTunes that your iPhone is not being recognized by iTunes? Completely different thing, and the iTunes on the iPhone has nothing to do with that anyway. The iTunes on the iPhone is just for purchases.
If you are having trouble with the iPhone being recognized by iTunes, use the appropriate link for your computer OS for assistance.
