ITunes with Microsoft Media Keyboard

I have a Microsoft Media Keyboard, when I press the "next track" or "previous track" media keys, Itunes skips two tracks instead of one - this doesn't happen with other media players. It works correctly if I click on the Itunes player buttons or use the left and right cursor keys. Any suggestions please on how to get Itunes to skip just one track at a time? There are no options in the keyboard's settings or in the Itunes options to do this.
Thanks Pete.

Perhaps try updating the keyboard driver?

To use itunes 10.7 you need to have Snow Leopard operating system installed
These are the system requirements
System Requirements:

1GB of memory
5GB of available disk space

Some features require a compatible internet service provider: fees may apply.
If you can run Snow Leopard you need to purchase it

Anyone using itunes with XP MEDIA CENTER?

I have had trouble installing itunes for DAYS! I kept getting the is not a win 32 app...did the troubleshooting but cant get the itunes uninstalled because it never got installed and cant find where to remove the set up. When I try to delete the TEMP folder it has two prgrams running with MEDIA CENTER that will not delete. I contacted apple and they said it is not compatible ith MEDIA CENTER EDITION...however, RADIO SHACK SWEARS it is. HELP!

Not to my knowledge. Media Center's music functions are essentially a wrapper around Windows Media Player - whatever you can play through WMP and add to its library is accessible through the Media Center UI. Unfortunately this does not include your AAC and M4P files. There are some freeware and commercial decoders out there that will enable AAC playback through WMP (www.rarewares.org/aac.html, www.3ivx.com), but for any protected files you're out of luck.
As for front-ending iTunes through Media Center, the HP interface you refer to is the only one I know of and frankly it's not very good. You might try The Green Button forums, a quick search turned up at least one likely thread.

Stop reverse scrolling with microsoft mouse

Please accept my apologies if this question has already been asked and answered. I searched but could not find the answer in this forum. I recently purchased a Mac Mini computer running Lion OS. I use a microsoft mouse and keyboard that came complete with drivers for the MAC. I am experiencing two intermittent problems relating to mouse action and cursor.
1. The first problem is with reverse scrolling. Somehow, and I can't recall how, I managed to disable reverse scrolling. However, intermittently my computer reverts to reverse scrolling. Often I am able to fix the problem by rebooting the Mac. On other occassions this does not work. I have researched the issue online and have read the articles about turning off reverse scrolling in the mouse and track pad sections of System Preferences. However, this option is not available presented when I access these windows.
2. The second problem deals with cursor size. I use my mac mini a a media center connected to my TV. To make the navigation easier I have made the cursor as large as possilbe using System Preferences - Universal Access - Mouse Tab. However, frequently the cursor reverts back to the minimum size on its own. When I access the appropriate section of System Preferences I note that, according to my configuration, the cursor should be maximized. I can re-establish the maximum size my making the cursor smaller and then making it bigger or conversely by rebooting the Mac.
Any assistance on these two matters would be greatly appreciated.
Many thanks,
Wayne

How can I use Microsoft Media Player with my new iPod Nano?

I do not like the iTunes player. I want to use the Microsoft Media Player with my iPod Nano. I dislike the iTunes player so much that if I don't get this resolved I will have to return the iPod Nano.

Michelle,
You can download media components for QuickTime which will enable you to play WMA files through QuickTime on your Mac:
http://windows.microsoft.com/en-gb/windows/windows-media-components-quicktime
Alternatively, Get the free VLC player for Mac, which will play almost all media types:
http://vlc-media-player.en.softonic.com/mac
If the interview requires Windows Media Player to be running to conduct the interview, then I fear you may be stuck, there is not a version of Windows Media Player for Mac - It is for Windows. Your options in this case would be to borrow a Windows PC or install a valid copy of Windows on your MacBook under BootCamp.

Using Microsoft Remote Keyboard on TX2510us with Windows 7

Hi,
I updated my TX2510us with Windows 7 Ultimate, Media Center Edition. Since the update, I've not been able to use the built-in remote or a Microsoft Remote Keyboard for Windows XP Media Center Edition. Neither of these are recognized by the IR port. I've searched for driver updates for the IR port, but haven't been able to find any. Anyone else come across this & have a solution?
Thanks!

Device manager installs a generic windows driver. It is always best to refer to the laptop manufacturer site for the drivers that are meant to optimize your hardware.
To find the latest drivers for your tx2510us, just go to HP.com, click on Support and Drivers (somewhere on the top part of the HP page), select "Download Drivers and Software" and then type "tx2510us". You will then be given a list of operating systems, just select the one you are using and voila, you have your driver page for your laptop. ^^

Controlling iTunes with Media Display of Logitech G15/G19 impossible

Hi there
I own a Logitech G19 keyboard. But the Media Display won't be able to neither show nor controll things from iTunes. The display works perfectly with the Windows Media Player but doesn't even "exist" when iTunes is running.
I remember that this problem first occured after I updated iTunes. Unfortunately, I don't remember from witch version to which. At this time, I still had the G15. The change from G15 to G19 didn't make a change at the problem.
Now, the question is, why is that so? Do I have to change something in iTunes?
What shall I do?
Thanks..

I have the same problem on my G15 since updating to the latest version of iTunes (8.2). Previously I had full control of iTunes functions on the keyboard/LCD. Now, sometimes the buttons to pause/play/next track work, sometimes they don't. The LCD no longer displays iTunes at all, it's no longer listed as being a program in my G15 settings and I can't find anything in iTunes itself to make it come back.
So far this only applies to the WinXP Pro side of my iMac, I haven't hit up the Mac side in a while and therefore haven't updated iTunes over there.
I checked logitech updates but there are none.
So...what did apple do in this version?
Can we get some assistance?

How to set up iTunes with an external hard drive so that there is not a double location for the iTunes Media folder

Hi,
A very helpful postee got to the end of his knowledge level, so I am posting this for you tech guys to sort out. Bit long because I've tried to set it out step by step. Briefly I'm new to iTunes and my laptop has a very small hard drive and is virtually full and due to be replaced. So I want to use an external hard drive.
Now I know that iTunes installs itself to two locations: 1. Programs Files 2. Music. And its the Music location that bothers me.
I asked about using an external hard disk to store the actual AAC files. I was advised that in order to change the loaction of the iTunes media folder I was should employ preferences/advanced/ and this is what i saw (as you would expect):
Then I hooked up my hard drive, hit 'change', and this is what I saw:
I was a bit worried by the lack of pathway details, but assumed it must have done something on the external drive, so I looked on it and this is what i saw (highlighted):
But compare this with what was in the directory I attempted to reproduce, viz in the iTunes folder in /laptop/Music/iTunes:
A ton of stuff. The only stuff that corresponded with what iTunes had created on my external hard drive was in Music/iTunes/iTunes Media folder:
Now this suggests that there are TWO locations for my preferences. The advanced tab only allowed me to ADD an extra location, not REPLACE the original.
So:
1. Which of the two locations will iTunes choose when I add music? Surely it will go with the original pathway laid down in the directory when iTunes was installed, and ignore my external Hard Drive? I mean, how can there be two automatic locations?!!!
2.. I don't mind itunes library being on my laptop as this is just a list, but it obvoiusly has to have a pathway to the site where the actual AAC files are stored.
so surely it won't work unless the whole lot is on the external hard drive: library, extras, genius, the lot?
4. How then do I get it all on the external since merely changing "preferences" doesn't do the job?
5. Is this perhaps the reason why so many people report that iTunes does not recognize their external hard disk:
http://www.ehow.com/info_12199596_external-hard-drive-not-recognized-itun es.html
I just don't want this to happen to me. Any answers?

As I've replied to your other threads...
Easy method 1:
Move or Copy entire working library from current location to the root of your external drive. Press & hold down shift (option on a Mac) as you click the icon to start iTunes. Click Choose when prompted, then browse to ..\iTunes\iTunes Library.itl on the external. If you copied the library across then test your new library works properly after renaming the original folder, before deleting the original folder to recover space.
Easy method 2:
If you haven't really started to build your library. Press & hold down shift as you click the icon to start iTunes. Click Create. Browse to the root of the external drive. Create the library as ITunes. Drag your media into ..\iTunes\iTunes Media\Automatically Add to iTunes.
Complex method:
Required if you've already tried other things and now have media & library scattered around. See the post make a split library portable.
in addition...
In all cases the idea is to get a library folder called iTunes containing a media folder called iTunes Media with all media inside this media folder. Once you have the library in this shape it is easy to reconnect to the library with the shift-start-iTunes method if the drive letter changes, move the library to another computer, and backup the library by cloning the folder to another drive.

Anyone having issues syncing iPhone 3GS with Microsoft Outlook 2007? iTunes says it is syncing but it will not update calendar or contacts. It just stopped working a few weeks ago.

I'm glad to hear that I'm not the only person struggling with exact issue. I've rebooted, upgraded, re-installed, pulled all my hair out as nothing works.
The biggest dissapointment with this thread is that nobody seems to have responded with a solution.
And yes I've managed to pull together enough intellegence to tick the box "sync to outlook" in iTunes - still nothing man.
Definately does not sync from phone to PC and is very hit and miss on PC to Phone. In other words now running 2 seperate calendars - Not helpful Jan.

Is Microsoft Ergonomic Keyboard 4000 compatible with Mac mini?

Hi, I am thinking of getting a Mac mini. I currently have a Microsoft Ergonomic Keyboard 4000 which I use with my HP laptop. Does anyone know if it is fully compatible with Mac mini?

It is compatible -- to a certain extent.
The Windows key will become the  (Command) key. The Mac will let you know that the keyboard you plugged in couldn't be identified, so it will ask you to type the Z key, followed by the / key. Choose ANSI and you should be ready to use the keyboard. Any multimedia keys or extra keys not part of the standard keyboard layout will have no function. The F12 key becomes the Eject key.
(PS/2 keyboards are not compatible with the Mac, unless you purchase a $15 PS/2-to-USB converter.)
