ITunes starts in mini-player

Finally discovered I could click Window/Zoom to bring up the full iTunes screen, but then when I quit and start up again, we are rightback to the mini player. I have looked in preferences and cannot find anything there to change. I just want it to start up in full screen. I don't even USE mini player. HELP!

Kakairo,
This is very odd. Can you try this:
1. Remove iTunes in Control Panel > Add or Remove Programs.
2. Choose Run... from the Start Menu.
3. Type cmd and click OK.
A cmd.exe window will appear
4. Drag the iTunesSetup.exe from the Desktop into the cmd.exe window
5. Then type one trailing space
Copy and paste this text into the cmd window:
/l*v C:\log.txt
6. Press Enter on the keyboard.
This will start the iTunes installer with full logging enabled. After the installation is complete, a file named log.txt will be created on your C: drive. Please email me that file. Please include a link to this Discussions thread in your email, so I can keep everything straight.

ITunes 7.3 - Mini Player in Taskbar no longer works

The buttons on my Taskbar Mini Player no longer work after upgrading to iTunes 7.3. The Mini Player shows up fine, but the "Play" button appears even while music is playing (when it should switch over to "Pause"). Nothing happens when you click on any of the buttons, even though it shows the buttons being depressed in the normal manner. When I deactivate the Mini Player through the toolbar menu on the Taskbar, iTunes disappears from my desktop, though the music keeps playing (I have to force quit to close the program).
Anyone else having this issue?

TS1776 cant open itunes, just shows mini player on task bar but doesn't open

I cant't open iTunes,the itunes mini player icon appears on the bottom taskbar but dos not open. I've tried removing and re-installing the software and restart but no avail.
Any ideas on a resoltion?
thanks

I read somewhere to uninstall Bonjour, and now it works. (:

Alright why oh why can't I switch between iTunes details and mini player?

Ok I like the new format, separation of the iTunes store makes it a great media player. However the with the new iTunes application what Neanderthal decided not to use the green button to switch between listing and viewing and the mini player, instead it's a trip to the keyboard OR stupidly switching between a big screen layout and a not so big layout,... useless!
I use itunes as follows open application select music, settings and then set to mini player and get on with what I'm doing, at least let us choose the behaviour it has when clicking the green button,... please,...

The only fix at the moment is to hold the option key when clicking the green button.
Send Apple your feedback and this might get fixed: http://www.apple.com/feedback/itunesapp.html

Try resetting your iPad, that may get rid of it. Hold down the home button and the sleep/wake button till the Apple logo appears and then let it wake . Hope that helps

ITunes minimized into mini player on taskbar

I remember a while back, I was able to minimize iTunes so it would be a mini player on the taskbar. Any idea how to do this?

That's your iTunes ToolBar, Vanessa. Right click on the Task Bar, and go "Toolbars > iTunes". Does that get it working for you again?

ITunes Mini Player keeps moving

I keep my Mini Player in the bottom left of the screen and now when I open it then close it, the Mini Player jumps up an inch. I know this question has been asked before but the answer was always about how near it is to the edge but moving it away doesn't work. Any ideas on how to make it stay?
Thanks

Same exact problem here.
Minimize iTunes into the mini player and move it into a corner so it is visible while other windows are open.
Maximize iTunes for whatever reason, and re-minimize it, the mini player will movie itself up half inch or so, making it perfectly hidden behind an open window.
If I remember properly...this same exact thing has happened in previous other updates...was fixed promptly...keep the trend going...
Please fix

ITunes v8 mini player

I went to Advance settings to switch to mini player and its not there anymore. Then I went into Preferences and didn't find any options to turn on the mini player. Where did it go in in v8?

Oh, how sorry you are gonna be, apple. Another day, when you have disappointed with iTunes big time:
Mini player in "advanced" menu,
moved to "view" menu,
with crappy help not finding "mini player" whatsoever,
having me search Google only to find how on earth miniPLayer is turned "on" (I mean, "turning ON" miniplayer?) and not plague my taskbar nor system tray
not working without latest quicktime (which ***** loads also),
having no mousewheel support for volume setting,
being obese on my sys resources,
taking over "default player" setting by default
Not to mention the trouble I had to write this single little post with all the registration needlessness.
Uninstalling...

Mini Player settings

I don't like iTunes as CD Player or anything else except Radio. This is the ONLY reason I use it. Usually I choose one station and minimize iTunes to tray or switch to Mini Player. And this is EXTREMELY annoying to do it each time I launch iTunes.
Are there any switches in iTunes shortcut or hidden settings that allow to launch iTunes in Mini Player mode by default?
It would also be great if it had "Make default" option for every playing mode like Radio, Videos or else. It'd be very useful for those who use iTunes just for playing CDs or Radio - you launch player in Mini Player Mode and it remembers your last station and starts playing it.
P.S.: And in general iTunes interface is just awfull. Very unfriendly. Sorry to admit that.

ITunes mini player in start tray?

I recently had my computer reformatted and now I have my iTunes set up again as I did before. The only problem is this:
Before-
When I clicked on the minimize (_) button to minimize my iTunes it would put the mini player version of it in my start tray (I think that is what it's called, sorry I often forget computer terms). This way I could be working on something but I could always pause, ski and play songs through the start toolbar without having to open the entire iTunes window.
Now-
I can't get this to work at all. Whenever I minimize my iTunes, it just minimizes it as a regular window. Just like when I minimize my internet window.
How do I change this?

That only allows me to have a mini player floating around on my desktop, but it still won't put it in my start tray/toolbar...
hmmmmm...

When I click on itunes to open it up, all I get is the mini player......

when I click on the box to expand mini-player, it says there is an error and disappears. If I hit the play button, it starts at the top of my list, but I have no access to the library or the playlists.
I originally downloaded itunes, and everything worked fine for a week or so. than this problem showed up. I un-installed itunes, quicktime...everything that came with the download, and re-downloaded the software, all to no avail. Still the same problem.
I presume this is an issue with my computer, and not the software. I called apple support, and they were NO help at all.
does anyone have any ideas as to what might be wrong?

I also had issues with my 4S. I just got the 5S and can't get it to read my phone. It did it once and I was able to download my music, but can't get my ringtones and i have 25 ringtones that I can no longer get to after paying for them!!! Please HELP. It no longer sees my phone. I have uninstalled and reinstalled I Tunes mltiple times.
Thanks,
Shan

Mini player does not work, can only switch playlists by closing and restarting iTunes

For the last few versions of iTunes, my mini player does not work, only choices are large window and larger window. Also, if I am listening to a playlist and hit the pause button, then switch to another playlist, the old playlist keeps playing when I hit play. The only way I can figure out to switch playlists is to quit and relaunch iTunes.

try rebooting the ipad
you know holding down the on button and the home button until the slider comes
and turn it off and start it up again

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.

Since iTunes update 8.1.1, iTunes keeps switching to mini-player mode

As the title says, when I open up iTunes after my macbook has been booted it keeps switching to mini-player mode instead of the full library. Sometimes does it when I open up iTunes whilst playing music as well. Never had this problem before seems to have started after the 8.1.1 update.
Any ideas how I could fix it or is it a new bug, tried deleting the preferences file in my home directory.

Thanks for that. The answer was really quite simple! For some reason with iTunes 8.1 it is necessary to turn of Airport Express speakers in order to watch music videos on the computer: before the videos played normally (without audio through AE speakers).

ITunes forgetting or erasin text in search field when in mini-player modus

Hi,
there has been an annoying bug in iTunes since version 8 where iTunes doesn't seem to remember the text typed in the search field when it's in mini-player modus.
Concrete example:
I type in the search field The Beatles. I get the list with all music from The Beatles. I start playing the music, put iTunes in mini-player modus via the green plus sign.
Before iTunes 8 this gave me the chance of selecting which album or artist or song I wanted to hear, without needing to make a seperate playlist for it.
But I still see which song is playing in the mini-player.
Now, since iTunes 8 after a couple of songs in the mini-player it just plays other music as well. If I enlarge the player again, I see that the text in the search field is just gone.
I don't want to make seperate playlist every time I just want to hear this or that artist or album, and this worked fine untill iTunes 8.
I'm not the only one with the problem (after a check on a Mac-forum in Belgium). But after 2 bug reports to Apple and a couple of updates (now iTunes 8.2) the bugg is still there.
Does anyone know if there is any way to get this back? (Terminal commando or something, don't know...)
Thanks and Best Regards,

Your solution is fine if you're browsing. But if you're playing back specific material that does not fit into that filter, then you're up the creek.
Very annoying bug for my workflow for sure >=[
