ITunes stopped playback of podcast when switching to Mini Player view

I'm using iTunes 10.1.1.4 and noticed that when I was playing a podcast and switched to the Mini Player view using the pull down menu (View -> Switch to Mini Player), the playback stopped completely.
I don't use iTunes a lot, but I would not have thought that this is a set up issue, most likely it is just a bug. I repeated the steps again later and it behaved correctly. But I have reproduced the playback stoppage issue several more times today listening to other music podcasts. I also had problems attempting to re-start a paused playback - I had to try several attempts before forcing it to re-load.
Anyone else experiencing this?
I tried to file a Support Ticket so that I could report this, but I was unable to navigate through without getting to a "pay for incident support" - I just want to report this to Apple.

Thank you "the fiend" - I have submitted some feedback using the link that you gave, let's see if anything happens. It does not look like it is the appropriate place to report an issue, but it might lead to a case being created?
Cheers!

ITunes 10.6 has High CPU Usage when switched to Mini Player

iTunes has high CPU usage when switched to mini player. The CPU usage goes to 80-100% when the next song is played in Mini Player. iTunes then stays at high CPU usage.
Upon exiting mini player the CPU usage will drop back to the normal 0-5% levels.
This only happens when playing from the main music library; which my library is at 7089 items, 42.04 GB.
When playing from a smaller playlist such as a smart playlist with about 15 songs in it for example, the CPU usage stays low/normal.

Do you have any better luck with that if you update to iTunes 10.6.1.7?
From the notes for the release:
iTunes 10.6.1 provides a number of improvements, including:
• Fixes several issues that may cause iTunes to unexpectedly quit while playing videos, changing artwork size in Grid view and syncing photos to devices.
• Addresses an issue where some iTunes interface elements are incorrectly described by VoiceOver and WindowEyes.
• Fixes a problem where iTunes may become unresponsive while syncing iPod nano or iPod shuffle.
• Resolves an ordering problem while browsing TV episodes in your iTunes library on Apple TV.

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 5 poor performance in mini player view

When I switch the iTunes 5 interface to the "mini player" view (green plus button), iTunes consumes ~65% CPU time continuously. This isn't the case when iTunes is minimzed, and when the entire interface is visible it only takes ~15% CPU time continuously. This wasn't the case with iTunes 4.x, in which the mini player mode didn't appear to consume any more CPU time than any other view mode. It's terribly annoying since it heats the computer significantly and forces my laptop's fan to spin nonstop.
I can only attribute this behavior to the new "skin," but is anyone else seeing poor performance from iTunes 5 in the mini player view?

No, I just downloaded iTunes 5 a few days ago and I don't have any add-ons. I should clarify that this is on my 867MHz Powerbook G4.
I've been observing the CPU usage some more, and it seems to take a huge hit with songs/labels that are very long; i.e.: ones that scroll sideways across the yellow display on the second line. I've noticed this behavior with Podcasts--the Podcast name will be short and will not scroll, then it's description will roll up and will be long enough to require sideways scrolling. The poor performance comes only whin scrolling titles are being displayed, consuming 45-65% CPU.
Playing music with short artist and album names consumes 10-15% CPU continuously, with spikes to 35% when the artist/album rolls upwards on the yellow display window. If sideways scrolling is displayed, again CPU usage stays high.
If iTunes 5 is in mini player mode and not playing anything (only the Mac logo in the yellow window), then continuous CPU usage is <1%.
It seems to me that text animation in the GUI has taken a huge hit with the upgrade to iTunes 5.

TS1717 iTunes stops and shuts down when I try to play a purchased music video clip, any ideas on how to fix.

Has anybody had this and know a fix?
I try to play a purchased music video clip and iTunes shuts down or windows 7 shuts it down as an unexpected error.
This only started when I updated to 10.7.
re-loaded, reset, repaired.
Still no go.
Thanks

Problem accures when I try to open nano it will show a screen that itunes has stopped working and needs to shutdown. I figure I need to restore the nano to factory settings but I am unabl to if I can't get into it.

Hey there Joseph1602,
It sounds like your iTunes application is quitting unexpectedly when you connect the phone and try to sync. I would recommend either of these 2 articles depending on the version of Windows you are using.

Or

ITunes stops playing songs/podcasts/etc whenever I move my mouse.

I have no idea why this happens but its really aggrivating.

when I move my mouse Itunes stops playing music. Sometimes this happens immediatly and sometime it take 10 to 15 sec.
At various stages over the years, mouse-related iTunes trouble has been associated with driver conflicts. So it might be worth following up on that possibility.
Head to the drivers and downloads page for your model of PC, and check to make sure you're not behind on any chipset and input-device-related driver updates. (And while there, just in case, also check to make sure your BIOS, sound-card/integrated audio, and video-card/display-adaptors are up to date.)
If you're behind on anything, and you update, does that help with the mouse-related iTunes issues?

ITunes error -15000 with AirTunes after autostartup in mini player mode

Hi,
I was looking for a way to submit an error description to Apple but on the support pages I didn't find an email address for such a purpose. Anyone knows one? I'd like to submit the following iTunes problem to Apple:
If iTunes is autostarted from the dock in mini player layout and selected AirTunes output, you ALWAYS get error -15000 if you start the player by pressing the play button too early. If you wait "some" extra time before starting playback then everything is OK. This annoying "feature" exists since version 7 (and maybe before). And even version 9 with snow leopard did not change that. So I fear they even do not know about that. So hopefully someone from Apple will read this... Please! If you find no other way to solve the problem - disable the buttons until everything required to function is initalized properly!

Well, I'll be a monkey's uncle. One user in the thread Jolly posts mentions success after restarting an Airport Extreme in the network. I was very skeptical, but I figured I would try it so I could say I did. Lo and behold, it worked.
With all of the problems I've seen, all of the weird workarounds people have had to implement, there's obviously some ongoing janky-ness Apple needs to address with AirTunes, but for the moment I seem to have found the right fairy dust to sprinkle on the problem.
Thanks, Jolly Giant!

Is there a way to stop iTunes from automatically pausing videos when switching spaces in Lion?

I have some technical podcasts and iTunes U vids that I like to watch, but occasionally, I need to navigate away from the video to do something with another application... while listening to the audio of the video.
Every time I attempt this, however, iTunes stubbornly assumes that I no longer want the video to play since my focus is somewhere else. Frustrating! I've looked through preferences but cannot find a way to override this irritating feature. Any suggestions welcome.

No, say I just downloaded the new Spoon album and want to listen to it while I'm looking around in the main music list at other stuff.
I'd drag the new Spoon tracks into my static playlist named "Now Playing"
By static I mean, not a smart playlist.
I could just as well decide to listen to a Genius mix or itunes DJ, or even a smart playlist such as genre=jazz.
Any playlist but the main Music playlist, so I won't have to deal with that annoying jumping around while I'm working with other tracks.

ITunes plays videos and podcasts when I click on music.

Hi all I have a problem.
when i click on music in the left menu. I notice when playign through my music set to randome that i get all media including podcasts, mpe books and other things that i woul dnot expect to be showing. I just want to randomly cycle through my music not listen to the books and podcasts etc.
is there a way to resove this issue.
OS: OSX 10.9.2, Mavericks
Itunes: 11.1.5 (s) 64-bit
Thanks for any ideas, tips, tricks and all you wish to share to help resolve this.
Edit: A good way to fix this would be able to select the type of media so it shows up in the right place. eg when importing or editing the album, file, cd podcast etc be able to select what type of media it is eg music, video, podcast, books and have the catogries show. only in what is selected. I have not come accross this feature.

See:
iTunes: May be unable to transfer videos to iPhone, iPad, or iPod
iTunes: Frequently asked questions about viewing and syncing videos
You may need a computer app like the free HandBrake to convert the format to one compatible with the iPod.

Bug: iTunes not actually deleting podcasts when told to delete podcasts

When I delete podcasts and select the "move to recycle bin" option the podcast is removed from iTunes. However very often the podcasts still remains in the my music folders and is not actually deleted from the folders, and this happens most often with video podcast.

Same thing here. It happened under XP and also now under Vista. I wish someone could help out with this issue..

ITunes stopping update of podcasts

I subscribe to several podcasts, and always listen to them on my iPod. Every so often iTunes flags the podcasts as not listened to, and stops updating.
Is there a way to stop iTunes doing this?

Hi, I'm having the same problem and its getting worse. Its infuriating. Have you found a solution?

ITunes stopped updating this podcast..

...because you have not listened to any episodes recently.
How do I fix it so iTunes will download them regardless of whether I listened to one or not?

I don't believe you can. I have one I subscribe to that I tend to listen in big chunks and may not get to for quite a while. What I usually do is just occasionally double-click one or two, just long enough for them to start to play, then stop it. iTunes then thinks you've listened to it. It doesn't distniguish between whether you've listened to the entire thing or not.
