Media keys fail to work for logitech g35

My favorite feature of logitech's G35 headset is the ability to asign commands or keys to three buttons (g-keys) allong the left ear piece of the headset.  I always had two of these keys set to 'play/pause' and 'next track' however with new the itunes sofware update(10.4.1) these functions no longer work with the headset.  At first i thought it must be logitechs software so i wrote them an email and got the response "
We are very sorry, that you are experiencing iTunes problems with your Logitech G35 Surround Sound Headset, and we do our best to resolve your issue.
You need to understand that your G keys on your Logitech G35 Surround Sound Headset are in fact behaving as specialized keyboard, and therefore we need to inform you, that this problem occurred to any customer, who has any model of keyboard which uses specialized software for additional functions with the iTunes from Apple company.
Therefore, can we please ask you to contact Apple company regarding this matter, because we have no ways how to change the iTunes for this functions to be operational for you again."
Does apple know of this problem?
Has anyone found a fix, other than switching to another media software?

If anyone is having this problem with Logitech headsets or keyboards where the media keys aren't working in iTunes, this is how you can fix it:
- Close SetPoint.
- You need to open a text editor (like Notepad) as an administrator
     - Right click on Notepad, click "Run as administrator").
- Open the SetPoint players.ini file (C:\Program Files\Logitech\SetPointP\players.ini) in Notepad
     - Might need to set the file browser to show all files, instead of just .txt files
- Edit the line under the [Players] section to match the line below (bold is the wndClass which is to be changed)
iTunes=wac,iTunes.exe,ITWindow,xxx,xxx,xxx,xxx,xxx,xxx,xxx,0,1,iTunes
- Save the file.
- Restart the SetPoint and hopefully play/pause, next and previous buttons should work (at least they work for me).
Found this solution somewhere else in these Apple forums. Worked for me, so hopefully it helps someone out. Bloody Logitech, blaming Apple and too useless to change one word in their code... =)
Still didn`t work on my G35 or my G19,

    No

    I don't have google music neither, my problem started after the first time running Windows Media Player in Windows 8.1, and after that every time I press the media keys it opens WMP.
    I already desactivated WMP from the control panel but it doesn't work the media keys for now...
    Also I saw a video that in Win 7 they go to msconfig and unselect the service from there but I don't find it in Win 8.1
    Any other guess???

  • Media keys still not working on my laptop with itunes 10.4.1

    Hi All,
    I have a Dell XPS 16 laptop with the latest version of itunes installed and my media keys still won't control it unless I'm currently in itunes. It's incredibly annoying as I'm sure most of you would understand. Anyone else have the same issue or a fix?
    Thanks

    I used to have the old Logitech illuminated keyboard and I thought it was because of logitech so I bought a new keyboard. (There were several issues with my old keyboard anyways) I now have the Logitech k360 and the same issue popped up. The play/pause backwards and forwards keys do not work. However on a side-note the FN hotkey to open iTunes does work. I have reinstalled drivers, software, itunes, did some other stuff and they didn't work. It's not on logitech's end.
    I just reinstalled to 10.3.1 and now I'm getting a message when I try to run the program saying "The file 'iTunes Library.itl' cannot be read because it was created by a new version of iTunes." I'm just going to uninstall and reinstall the latest version for the 3rd time now and hope Apple releases an update which fixes this compatibility issue.
    I'm running Windows vista 64.

  • Next / Previous media keys don't work on 3rd Party Keyboard, Play/Pause does work. [MAC]

    Hello!
    So I am using a Logitech G710+ keyboard with my Mac (running 10.9) , and the media keys (Play/Pause, Stop, Next and Previous) work perfectly fine with iTunes, even in background.
    Now, when I use Spotify, I usually quit iTunes (to stop conflicts), but only the Play/Pause key seems to work.
    It does work in the background, which is good, but crucially the Next / Previous keys don't work at all.
    Any ideas? 

    So I have the exact same issue as everyone else here.  I have a Logitech K750 wireless keyboard running Yosemite on my MBP. I don't necissarily think this issue resides with Spotify, but instead with Logitech.  If I use the media keys on my MBP I am capable of using Next/Previous even when Spotify is in the background.  On the wireless keyboard only Play/Pause and the Volume buttons work.  I think the issue is with the key mapping with the Logitech. Then again, I don't know how the code is written.  Maybe Spotify missed an alternative key map for the media buttons.  I didn't write the code.... The logitech forum is a ghost town for this issue though.  Only post I found was 5 years old. EDIT: With further reasearch I DO believe the problem lies with Spotify.  A tech for Logitech explained to me that Spotify wrote some "interesting" code for the keymap functionality for its Mac client.  A quick Google search shows that it is not only Logitechs experiencing this issue.  It would be great if we could get someone to look into this.  It isn't critical, but it sure would be nice to get fixed.

  • Media key is not working

    Hello
    Recently, the volume buttons, pause/play, fast forward and rewind media keys only work when I am on the Now Playing screen whereas they were working on every other screen in the past; even when my phone was locked. I don't know why it's suddenly not working, can someone please help me to get them to work again? I have done the battery pull out thing and it hasn't helped and whenever I switch on my phone it tells me there was a problem with the key presses and it's really getting to me now because I love music nd totally love my phone . PLEASE HELP
    Thanks

  • Function keys failing to work on my Satellite C855-1GN

    I have a Toshiba Satellite C855-1GN that I received as a gift for Christmas.
    I just it for all my college work but I noticed my function keys had switched round.
    Usually when I hold FN, it's for the f1-f12 but suddenly it's the other way round and it's for whatever the key is (e.g. brightness, etc).
    Now this seems simple, but I found that hardly the case..
    I've been into the BIOS and I have checked the settings and changed them multiple times but even set to special function settings, it fails to work.
    I've been on the HWsetup and checked them but again, even set to special function, it's failing to work.
    I've tried various keyboard shortcuts suggested by people 'cause of the fn key being 'locked' or however they described it but still i cannot seem to figure out what happened and how to change it back.
    I can't stand my laptop being like this as i just got used to it and use the other keys a LOT more than the F keys.
    Please can someone help me?

    Hey, thanks for the link, i managed to solve my problem simply by restoring my computer to a couple hours earlier and now it's working fine.
    Thanks for that link though because i've been wondering what the keys were set to

  • Mac Book Pro Media keys no longer work

    Hi,
    I installed a third party 'mac' keyboard that has media keys, Volume, Play pause etc...
    Now, my MBP keyboard's keys dont work.. Brightness, Volume, backlight are all unresponsive.
    Is there a package i can install that will reset them?

    Hi Phil, welcome to the discussions!
    I'm not sure if this is the problem but if you go into the system preferences, click keyboard & mouse and then click the keyboard tab, there is an option there that says, "Use the F1-F12 keys to control software features." If this option is ticked, you will have to hold the Fn key whilst pressing the F1/F2 keys to change brightness. The media keyboard installation may have changed this for you.

  • Since the capture media is no longer working for capturing Windows 8.1 images,

    Since Copy Profile doesn't work when you use the sccm capture media to capture a Windows 8.1 image
    This is how I been capturing my Windows 8.1 image.
    1. Manually sealing the image. Logged in as Administrator, I run, C:\Windows\System32\sysprep\sysprep.exe /generalize /oobe /shutdown /unattend:"C:\Windows\System32\sysprep\sysprep64-81-std.xml" this points to my answer file which contains copy
    profile=true. Once Windows is shutdown, I boot directly to PXE, using a TS of the method found in the link below.
    2. I then use this method to capture the image directly to a wim file. http://blog.coretech.dk/mip/capture-none-syspreped-image-using-sccm-running-imagex-from-a-ts/
    I'd like to hear how others are capturing there Windows 8.1 images, because I am always looking for a better method.

  • Media Sync Doesn't Work for Mac

    "Whether it's a specific iTunes® playlist or a random mix of tunes, it's easy to sync the music from your Mac computer to your BlackBerry smartphone."
    That's how Blackberry describes Media Sync. Unfortunately, it doesn't see any of my iTunes playlists and always gives me the error "Exceeded Memory Limit" regardless of the free space available.
    My Mac OS is 10.6.4 (Snow Leopard) and I have the latest version of BB Desktop Manager which has Media Sync integrated.  I've seen this complaint on virtually every BB forum - has anyone managed to make it work?
    I really think that this is a serious misrepresentation of the software's capabilities and I shouldn't have to resort to third-party apps after what I'm paying for the phone and the service contract.

    Hey ARM77,
    Welcome to the BlackBerry Support Community Forums.
    There is a few things I will suggest to hopefully fix this issue for you.
    1. Is mass storage mode currently enabled when you hook your BlackBerry to the Mac?  If not please read KB13564.
    2. Is your iTunes updated to the very latest version?
    3. Verify that your media card has a sufficient amount of memory available for the playlists. To check this, perform the following:
    In BlackBerry® Desktop Manager, click Device Options. On the Media tab, decrease the amount of memory that is kept free for files other than your music files.
    than your music files.

  • Dell laptop media keys don't work with iTunes 7.x

    After installing the most recent version of iTunes (7.3), my media buttons on the front of my Dell Precisions M90 no longer work, unless iTunes is the active program. Same thing happened with my other Dell laptop. Anyone have a fix for this?

  • [Solved] The "¨^~"-key does not work for me in URxvt in Awesome

    Hello.
    I can not understand why I can not write e.g. ^ or ~ using the "^¨~"-key on my keyboard (norwegean layout) in URxvt (extra/rxvt-unicode) in Awesome WM (aur/awesome-git).
    Although I have tested in other window managers e.g. dwm, and the key works fine in urxvt there, I am not yet sure whether this is a problem in URxvt or Awesome. When I started using Awesome and URxvt some years ago, this was not an issue yet.
    I hope someone has a clue as to what is causing this, and/or how it can be fixed.
    Regards,
    Rasmus
