Mini-player album info stays no matter what, instead of fading.

For Itunes 11.1.1, when I open the mini-player, it shows the album info on the top and play, pause, skip, etc on the bottom. It's supposed to show that when I have the mouse hovering over the art. But it shows the info no matter what. Even after I move the mouse off of it. Once or twice a couple weeks apart it suddenly DID fade the info off. But once I closed Itunes and started it back up, it happened again. This is how it is 99.9% of the time. Any idea why? I included a screen shot of how the info over the art always looks. This is only how it's supposed to look with the mouse over it but it's always like that. I know it's an incredibly mundane complaint, but I'm kind of crazy like that and it's driving me INSANE! Please help.
Thanks,
MB

Update: while command-clicking on the album art thumbnail in the mini player in 11.0.4 no longer launches the album art in a second, resizeable, window, it does work if you click on the album art thumbnail at the top of the expanded window (i.e., while not in the mini-player view).
I know that I tried this in 11.0.4 before posting my first question last week and it did _not_ work then, so I'm not sure what I did differently today to get it to work, but today I have a separate album art window that I can resize to my heart's content, while still having the mini player showing me the progress bar at all times.

Flash player refusing to work no matter what I do. Been going on for months now. Help?

Windows 7 (64 bit)
Chrome (32 bit) (ver. 27.0.1453.116 m)
Flash 11.7.700.225
It seems like, no matter what I do, Flash player will not work. Keep in mind that I have already tried disabling/enabling both the plugin that comes with Chrome, along with the plugin that you can manually install from Adobe, and that alone doesn't solve my problem.
If I try to play videos on Youtube, I get one of four results:
1) "This video is currently unavailable," which can come up if I have one of the plugins enabled. I can sometimes solve this by disabling both plugins, but that only works about 25% of the time.
2) The Youtube player just shows black and nothing else. No audio/video and no indication that anything is playing. Like with #1, this can also come up if I have a plugin enabled, and can sometimes be solved like in #1. But again, this only works semi-occasionally.
3) I get the prompt to update my flash player. This can come up if I have both plugins disabled, and I have yet to find a solution for it (yes, I've already uninstalled flash with Adobe's official uninstaller, and reinstalled it to confirm I have the most recent version). If I enable any of the two plugins, I get an error message like in either #1 or #2.
4) The video plays fine. This only happens about 10% of the time, and is split half/half in terms of requiring the plugin on/off.
So far, I have done the following in order to solve my flash problem, to no avail:
-disabled/enabled both plugins (mentioned above)
-uinstalled/reinstalled Flash Player using Adobe's official programs (mentioned above)
-tried using Firefox
-tried using the HTML5 player as an alternative (never works)
-disabled/reenabled every plugin one by one
-disabled/reenabled all extensions, and even tried browsing in Incognito Mode
-tried making an exception for Flash in Windows Firewall
-scanned for and cleaned up any viruses/malware/adware/spyware

Login screen stays not matter what I try

So basically I've been having poblems with my macbook pro. Recently one of my fans gave out and I've been running low on disk space (57 gb left). I've been watching the fan with fan control and it hasn't been overheating. I just wanted to finish out the semester before bringing in my computer because I can't not have it for a few weeks if it does have to get repaired. So today I bought an external hard drive and attempted to connect it to my computer and midway through the installation proccess my computer froze. I turned it off, which I now realize probably wasn't the greatest idea, and now when I try and login after turning my computer on I get redirected to the login screen no matter how many times I put in my password. It seems to accept my password, but returns me to the login screen anyway. I can login to guest account just fine, my personal account is giving me trouble. Is my computer destroyed? Is there any hope?

I tried all the above...
I deleted all the files from the windows/temp directory, still wont uninstall..
I ran the windows uninstaller installer (isn't that an oxymoron??, but this is a windows machine).. still wont uninstall...
There is no quicktime, apple or itunes directories in the program files directory...
I run advanced systems optimizer and cleaned my registry, no quicktime listed.
I ran hijack this, no quicktime listed...
HHHHHEEEEEELLLLLLLLPPPPP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Anyone have a laser I can borrow to surgically remove this pain in the .......
Thanks,

Album Info won't change in Get Info?

For whatever reason when i updated Itunes i had albums split up. The names changed on some of the albums. Going into Get Info i can type in the right album title but it doesn't change the album listed so it stays seperated. I have gone into all the settings that i can think of and am at a loose as to how to fix it. Someone PLEASE HELP!! I need this issue fixed so my library is all correct and consistant.

I have gone through and even triple checked everything matcheds on deleting all the grouping, composer, and comment info so everthing matched. The Artist, Album Artist, Album, and years all match. I took out all the track numbers, even though that shouldn't have anything to do with it. And on top of everything i have EXTENSIVLY made sure that there isn't a space extra in or at the end of a word that would be messing with it. What is really frustrating me is that i can change all the info to be right on the Info tab under "Get Info" but when i click on the summary page it still shows the wrong info. No matter what i do i can't get that to change. Even clicking ok and going back into the info tab it still shows the changes i made but the summary doesn't match. Very frustrating!!

I recently moved my itunes library. Itunes deleted a lot of artist and album info and album art. Now it won't let me edit the info to correct it. Any advice on to correct this?

I recently bought a new Asus laptop and moved my itunes to it. All of my files are stored on an external hard drive. In the process of importing my files into itunes on the new laptop, some artist and album info has been deleted. A lot of album art is missing as well. I attempted to correct the missing info, but now itunes won't let me edit any track, artist or album info. Any idea what the problem is and how I can fix it? Thanks.

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.

Mini MINI player??

Ok, I use the mini player all the time. For a while, when the mini player was up, and I clicked to minimize it to microsoft toolbar, it would go to mini player in the tool bar. Like, instead of just saying "Itunes" in the tool bar, there were buttons to skip a song, go back, and play/pause.
It stopped doing that a few weeks ago, and I was wondering if anyone knows how to do that???

I've often thought there really ought to be a button to minimize - I know it isn't such a big deal using the keyboard shortcut or the menu option, but it's something I do a lot and a button would often be more convenient ...
The minimini player idea sounds cool but I'm not sure how much use of it I'd make - just mini is enough

Three issues here. The pre-pending is useless when selecting songs to play, plus it.takes up much of the admittedly limited space in my on-screen menu. Since it doesn't help me select a song to play, it simply prevents more relevant info from being displayed in that area. However, there is a second area on the menu that is designed to list title, artist and album but those fields are blank - despite I-tunes inclusion of the info in the xferred files.
JCP,
Regarding the tags, on an MP3 CD iTunes simply burns whatever is embedded in the MP3 file. From your description, it sounds like the Onkyo is seeing the filenames but not the tags, which does seem strange. You may want to try the question in an Onkyo forum.
If you don't need the pre-pended serial number, and don't care about the sequence, you can burn from iTunes as a data CD instead of an MP3 CD.

Fans stay at ~1800 RPM no matter what!

Hello,
I've got a previous gen mini (out if warranty, too). I am using smcFanControl and it tells me that my mini's fans stay at around 1800 RPM, no matter what. More than a few times, the temperature has gotten to 160 F, and the fans stayed at ~1800 RPM.
Is this a known issue? Would it warrant a replacement?
Thanks for your help!

Do you actually hear the fan?
I mean does your mini get noticeable loud. If not I'd say it's just a bug with smcFanControl since I've run it on my mini and sometimes it give pretty incorrect info for some reason. If you have Windows installed via bootcamp you can install something like speedfan or try another software to verify the reading are correct.

Music player app - locking display orientation and album info

Is there anyway to lock the ipod touch music player app in a particular orientation? Alternately, can the music player be set to stay in album info mode when the ipod changes orientation?
I listen to my ipod touch when riding my bicycle. I use the DLO ActionWrap attached to my forearm, primarily in landscape orientation. However, I frequently want to see how long the current song is or how many songs are left to play on the album and, as I move my arm and change the orientation of the ipod, the ipod will exit info mode each time I change orientation. It would be nice to be able to lock the ipod music player app in landscape mode or lock it in a mode that it will stay in info mode as I change orientation of the ipod.
If you just can't do this, if anyone at Apple reads this, could you please make this a feature?

I have downloaded Audiograbber to my laptop. Converted all my music to Mp3 then transferred it all to my PlayBook via Wifi. You get the album, artists, selections etc. Works great for me. Then on the PlayBook you can select what you want to put on the Playlist.

IBook screen stays black at reboot no matter what keys I hold down

Hi, I posted a very similar issue a while back and was able to resolve it with some people's help:
http://discussions.apple.com/message.jspa?messageID=13196227#13196227
This time, I had to force shutdown cause the finder wasn't responding when I was transferring a movie to AppleTV. But now when I try to reboot, the screen stays black no matter what. I've tried booting while holding C, holding the mouse button and alt, but nothing brings me to the boot screen like last time. Similarly, I was low on Gigs, but I had a couple left and was in the process of making room. Would really appreciate any hep. I feel like a moron .

Were you getting warning messages that the hard drive is almost full? You may have corrupted the files on the HD.
Will it boot in Safe Mode? See What is Safe Boot, Safe Mode? (Mac OS X)

Album/Grid View: Tracklist out of order NO MATTER WHAT since iTunes 11(?)

Before reading, note that my metadata/tag information for all albums have and always been CORRECT. Disc/track order info, artist, album artist, album - they're all sorted accordingly so that they are in their right order with their right album and right artist/compilations.
That said since upgrading to iTunes 11 last year, many of my albums had their tracklisting mixed up. For example with my Karate kid soundtrack, all tracks after track 1 are appearing before track 1. And no matter what I do (I'd change the album/artist - all tag fields just to seperate the problematic tracks or as a whole album, etc etc) they are stuck there for good. Other albums have the same problem, with one or two tracks appearing before track 1.
This completely destroys the sequencing of album sequencing, not to mention the overall listening experience, athough clicking on the album art will play from track 1 to end of album in order. Still, this is a problem that needs solving, one that I've been waiting for after how many updates. Anyone else having this sort of problem? Tell me I'm not the only one.

Replacing low res album artwork in mini player

Here's a slightly neurotic question for the iTunes album art lover community....
I like the new miniplayer in iTunes 11.04 very much. The problem I've discovered is that much of the album artwork I once added to iTunes 10 and which looked fine in the defunct cover-flow, now is too low res in miniplayer.
I've gone back and chosen the artwork over again - usually on the fly when a song comes up in the mini-player - I drop the new artwork onto the miniplayer pane, and bing - the album artwork now looks great.
The problem is that the artwork only seems to be replaced for the one track of the album. All other tracks of the same album have the same low res artwork associated with them. Wouldn't it make sense for the artwork to replace for the entire album with this simple move?
Does anyone know why this is or if there is a good workaround for it that does not involve me stopping my workflow and right clicking to "get info" on the track and replacing artwork for the entire album?
Thanks!

How can I show album art in the mini player when playing songs from a plugged in iPhone?

How can I show album art in the mini player when playing songs from a plugged in iPhone?
When I play from my phone and switch to the mini player it's always showing the music notes in the thumbnaill. It'd be nice if it could get album art off of the phone.
I'm on iTunes version 11.0.4.4

He @mracole,
it is very nice that you post a solution to complete the library with artwork for album's that do not have an artwork. Your solution perfectly addresses the problem for assigning artwork, BUT this thread is about CHANGING artwork for albums already uploaded into iTunes Match. Just try to replace for example a blue artwork cover for an album with a red one. If you made it in a simple way (without deleting the album from iTunes Match and local changes on the files with an external ID3-Application or 2 or more iTunes libraries on different Mac's) this is the right place to give a solution. I really tried for hours to change the artwork to make them visible in landscape cover flow mode on my iPhone5. In rare cases I made it, but then the covers sometimes where restored to the old onces - exacly how it is mentioned by Starhawk
As long as there is no simple way to change the cover of an iTunes Match stored album (you can change title, artist and so on without hitting "update iTunes Match" over all distributed Library on different devices - this date will be synchronized almost instantly) I considered the behaviour from iTunes as BUGGY! For me the local artwork cache (and if there is any iCloud artwork cache - I don't know) do not interfere with iCloud. Even when I delete the whole local cache (album artwork music - everything) I do not manage to change the artwork.
