ITunes windows short cuts outside of application? / MCE remote?

I've always wanted to know if there was a way to get shortcuts for iTunes from anywhere on windows provided that itunes is running? This is possible on a Mac and when using windows media player / media centre & a media centre remote?
Currently, my Media centre remote works with iTunes, but only when it is the active application (as is the case with shortcuts).
What would be ideal is if i could use my Media centre remote to control iTunes from any application.
Using Win 7 & iTunes 10.5
Thanks in advance.

Same problem with MCE remote... I have a Windows 7 x64 based computer setup soley for the purpose of media consumption. I use Windows Media Center for HDTV over Digital Cable (via Ceton InfiniTV with a CableCard) and iTunes for music on the PC itself as well as via two AirPort Express devices for whole house music. Every version of iTunes before 10.5 worked great. For reference, I leave iTunes running 24/7 to enable the ability to use the Remote app on my iPhone, this way I can play music from my phone whenever I like and there's no need to go to the media PC to open iTunes first. In any case, as soon as I upgraded to version 10.5 I too had the remote control issue within Media Center and the navigation controls on the remote control ceased to function. I had to close iTunes in order to use the remote control again, which of course defeats the purpose of using it with the Remote app on the iPhone. Thankfully, I was able to locate iTunes version 10.3.1 online for Windows 7 64-bit and after reverting, everything works perfectly again. Has anyone else experienced this issue? Does iTunes 10.5.1 resolve this issue??

The top of my iTunes window is cut off

The iTunes title bar cuts through the play button, volume control, track information, and search bar since I downloaded iTunes 6.0. Anyone else had this problem? Anyone else noticed how getting support for an Apple problem is like trying to talk with the President?

HT3204 itunes desktop short cut

Yeah, I am having the same issue. It seems that the short-cut is missing. I can not upgrade, nor uninstall. What can I do to fix this?

Why my itunes window is cut off?

I recently updated my itunes running in my MBP, my itunes version is 12.0.1.26, and
Something I can do? Thanks

Solved!, It was a problem with the software Flavours and when I updated it, all works fine again.

Apple, why did you remove keyboard short cuts for EQ in v7?

now gone in v7
command-1 for main window
command-2 for equalizer!
that eq window short cut was cruitial(for me at least) when I'm doing parties and I need fast access to the EQ
bad move - apple programmers, what were you guys thinking?

Apple changed the commands and they are now used for video.
You can program it back in with different keyboard commands.
Close iTunes. Go to System Preferences>Hareware>Keyboard & Mouse>Keyboard Shortcuts.

They are probably preferences from earlier Emagic versions of Logic, probably version 6.
Yes, you should update to 7.1.1, and no, it's not much better, some small bugfixes, that's all.

Is there a way to make a keyboard short cut to iTunes?

Please inform me on the procedures necessary to allow a short cut in opening iTunes.

I agree that a shortcut to iTunes is a rather moot issue, but as you see I did discover what may be a bug in that I can assign a shortcut to iTunes but it does not work.
I actually have the opposite issue - I don't like iTunes and hardly ever use it and every time I DL an mp3 and select it incorrectly, it opens under iTunes, it takes a while before I can get rid of it.
One day I will have to check my defaults and remove iTunes from the list entirely.

ITunes ne peut pas s'exécuter car l'application détecte un problème

Hello,
after installing the last version of itunes, it doesn't want to start and give me the error (in french) : "iTunes ne peut pas s'exécuter car l'application détecte un problème sur Quicktime"
so : "iTunes can't start because application is detecting some problem with Quicktime"
what to do ?

Download and install the latest version of QuickTime for Windows.

After updating itunes three (3) days ago - itunes close shortly after starting with the message "a problem occured and cannot be solved, please close application"

After updating itunes three (3) days ago - itunes close shortly after starting with the message "a problem occured and cannot be solved, please close application" - Platform: WIN7 - iTunes 11.2.9.115

Start with the third box in Troubleshooting issues with iTunes for Windows updates.
If that doesn't work, use the steps in the second box to repair your iTunes installation. Your library should be unaffected by these steps but there is backup advice elsewhere in the user tip.

Creating a Windows 7 OS desktop short cut for gmail with Firefox as browser, not internet explorer

I have an HP laptop that originally had Windows Vista Home Premium 64-bit OS. I recently upgraded to Windows 7 64-bit OS. I want to generate a desktop shortcut for gmail that uses Firefox as the browser not internet explorer (8). If I use IE 8 as the brower and enter in gmail.com, gmail opens. I can right click on that page and create a gmail desktop short cut with IE 8 as the browser. If I try the same steps using Firefox as the opened browser, I can't create a desktop short cut by right clicking...it is not an option. I can't make Firefox my default browser for everything as my work programs/shortcuts require IE. Again, how do I create a direct gmail desktop shortcut that uses Firefox as the browser, not IE 8, when IE 8 has to be the default browser?

You could create a shortcut to open Firefox with a specific site using a command line argument.
You can copy the shortcut that you use to open Firefox, then right-click on it and choose '''Properties'''. On the shortcut tab, you will see the target, it will look something like this:
"C:\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla Firefox\firefox.exe"
You can add gmail.com to this shortcut so it looks like this:
"C:\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla Firefox\firefox.exe" gmail.com

Trying to install iTunes on Windows 8.1. Apple Application Support was not found. Error 2. Uniinstall iTunes and try again, does not work. Is there a fix?

Trying to install iTunes on Windows 8.1. Apple Application Support was not found. Error 2. Uniinstall iTunes and try again, does not work. Is there a fix?

Let's try a standalone Apple Application Support install. It still might not install, but fingers crossed any error messages will give us a better idea of the underlying cause of the issue.
Download and save a copy of the iTunesSetup.exe (or iTunes64setup.exe) installer file to your hard drive:
http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
Download and install the free trial version of WinRAR:
http://www.rarlab.com/
Right-click the iTunesSetup.exe (or iTunes64Setup.exe), and select "Extract to iTunesSetup" (or "Extract to iTunes64Setup"). WinRAR will expand the contents of the file into a folder called "iTunesSetup" (or "iTunes64Setup").
Go into the folder and doubleclick the AppleApplicationSupport.msi to do a standalone AAS install.
Does it install properly for you?
If instead you get an error message during the install, let us know what it says. (Precise text, please.)
