Mini Player always opens in center of screen

When I used iTunes on a Mac, I could move the Mini Player to another part of the screen, and iTunes would remember. With iTunes for Windows, the Mini Player always opens in the center of my screen.

When I tell my Doc, "It hurts to go like this," he says, "Then don't go like this." So my cure for the Mini Player Blues is not to use it. No one seems willing or able to assist me, so I will solve the issue.

I have two screen on my PC. Adobe always opens on the second screen. I would like to change this. Ho

I have two screens on my PC Adobe always opens on the second screen. How do I change this to open on the first screen.

It should (should) stay where you close it from, especially if you have it maximized on that monitor. I can't guarantee that because I'm having the same problem with Firefox this morning. I always open it on my secondary montior, and today it will only open on the primary.

Mini player always on top spoiled?

Hi there,
there's is an issue concerning the mini player:
When you start iTunes and (before) checked "Mini player always on top" it isn't on top. If you enter options it is checked, though.
So, uncheck -> ok -> check (using Ctrl+, to enter options) makes it always on top. But as soon as a track is edited (using Ctrl-i), mini player isn't on top any more. So again unckeck -> ok -> check and it's always on top again.
Does anybody else see this behaviour?

Can anyone verify this flaw, please?

ITunes mini player on top of a full screen Safari page

When you make a full screen Safari page, is there any way to put the iTunes mini player go on top of this page? I did this once by accident, but now whenever I try to open iTunes while in full screen Safari, the iTunes mini player opens to the main desktop page.

Thanks for the reply.
I'm listening to an audio podcast that's reffering to images on his sight. When you go full screen it shows the images best, but you lose the ability (space bar) to pause/play the podcast audio. It would be nice to be able to view and study the images a bit longer, but not having to keep futsing around with everything.
Is there a way to get the Mini player in the same Space as Safari?

Photoshop CS4 always opens off center

Everytime I open Photoshop CS4 the center window appears "off center", sometimes waay down and to the right. The menus pop up in the right place but the center comes on messed up. Is there a fix for this?

I take it back, it did work. The PS help led me astray at first but I tried a diff. way to reset prefs and now it works, thanks!

Does a New iMac Always Open With The Correct Screen Resolution?

This may sound a daft question but the other day I visited a friend and when he switched his 2 year old 24" iMac on, I was horrified to see black bands down each side of the screen.
It was obvious he had an incorrect resolution. . . . . I think it turned out to be 800x600!
Anyway I reset it to the correct 1920x1200 and he was amazed at the improvement!
I asked him how it had got like that and he said it had always been that way.
My immediate suspicion was that he had bought the machine second-hand from some idiot who had been fiddling with it but he assured me he had bought it new and that's how it had been from the start.
From what I remember, all my computers have started off with the correct screen resolution and haven't needed any resetting.
Any idea why this happened?

Thanks Barbara and den.thed.
Your suggestions will be helpful for anyone with a similar problem looking at this thread, however, they don't apply in this case. (Hope that doesn't sound bad! LOL)
This friend bought the iMac a couple of years ago simply to edit with Final Cut Pro. He doesn't use it for anything else and it isn't even connected to the internet. (He uses a PC for all mundane chores like that).
He claims that upon initial startup it displayed the 4:3 desktop image and assumed it was normal for his machine . . . . . . . . though he must have seen others in the shops displaying correctly.
Incidentally it may not have been 800x600, but it was certainly an incorrect 4:3 aspect ratio.
As he is a very intelligent and skilled film maker and editor I am surprised that he never queried it, after years of using PCs.

Muse always opens "maximized" to half screen

Hi,
I have Windows 7 x64 and a 1920x1200 display.
As you may know, if you move a window and touch the left or right side of the screen with the pointer while still holding the window, this is adjusted to cover exactly half screen making easier to place two windows side by side so one covers the left half of the screen and the other covers the right half. Well, I did this with Muse's window once and since then, Muse always starts with the window in this position instead of maximized to full screen.
Windows7 seems to treat this condition as maximized because the icon in the maximize/minimize size button shows the two overlaping squares instead of a single square, so I have to click it to make the Muse window float and then click again to maximize to full screen.
What do I have to do for Muse starting maximized in full screen again and not in half screen? It is very annoying

Hi Juan,
Have you tried clearing the Muse cache? Please delete the AdobeMuse folder from the appdata folder. To get there, click on Start > search for %appdata% and hit Enter.
Let me know if this does not resolve the issue for you.
Cheers,
Vikas

How do I launch mini player without opening the full iTunes?

When I just want to listen to my music it's annoying to fumble with the full iTunes interface just to turn on MiniPlayer. I would like to do this in Mac OSX 10.10 and Win7/8/8.1 just make a direct link directly to the MiniPlayer or allow me to launch iTunes with a switch like -MiniPlayer to go directly into it.

See this excellent user tip from another forum member turingtest2 outlining the different methods and software available to help you copy content from your iPod back to your PC and into iTunes.

Quicktime Player opens off center and to large

Hello,
The QuickTime player always opens to large and off center on my screen. I have changed preferences in the options to every setting possible but nothing works. Using Windows 8. My windows 7 machine behaves exactly the same. I am running the Free version of QuickTime. I do video editing so I must have QuickTime in order to do my work. I have many videos with transparency created with the Animation codec. The Windows player cannot play them, if it would I would not need the QuickTime player at all.When I click the fullscreen button at the top right hand corner of the player it corrects itself but I must first slide the player to the left to get access to the button which is offscreen .I should not need to do this. Thanks to anyone that can help. This is a very irritating thing to deal with.

New Mac Mini won't open DVD Player, I get an error

This is a brand new mac mini (latest model bought two days ago), just opened and tried to open DVD player without any media on the DVD drive and the DVD Player doesn't open and I get this error:
There was an initialization error.
A valid video device could not be found for playback (-70017)
What could that be?
Wilfredo.

No. The DVD Player always open even if there is no media in the drive.
The problem was the Region. I needed to set the region on the drive, but the error message never told what was the problem, I had to figure it out myself.

Search Disappears from Menu (after expanding Mini Player)

Hi there I'm on Android 4.3 mobile using Spotify version 3.1.0.1113. The Search option disappears from the main top left menu every time I use the app. I have narrowed it down to happening right after expanding the mini-player from the bottom of the screen. I can open the app and use it normally, but once I click the new mini-player (the new version that allows swiping to change songs) to bring up the main player screen, Search will disappear from the top left menu, leaving just Browse/Activity/Radio/etc. I can bring back Search by closing the app and reopening it. I have tried other 3.1 versions, including Betas, and this always happens. Any ideas? Thanks

After you search for the artist, *Ctrl click* the arrow after the artist name to see all items by that artist in yoru library, then play and open the mini player.
Better yet, instead of search, simply turn on the browser (iTunes menu View -> Column browser) then select the Artist to see everything by that artist.

How do I turn off controls in the mini player?

Hello, I have a question about the mini player. When I first installed iTunes, the mini player would only display the control icons when I moved the cusor over the player, with only the artwork displayed while the player was in use. Now, however, every time I use the mini player it always has the contorls on display. Is there a way to toggle the controls on and off so that they are only visible when I want them to be? For reference, the mini player always looks as it does below. When I first began using it only the artwork would be on display. I've tried reinstalling iTunes, but the player still looks the same (I did not do a full uninstall/reinstall however). Thanks for any help or suggestions.

Hello moeszyslak,
I would recommend testing to see if the issue is system wide, or user specific as the troubleshooting for each is different. Use this article:
iTunes for Windows Vista or Windows 7: Troubleshooting unexpected quits, freezes, or launch issues
http://support.apple.com/kb/ts1717.
Create a New User Account
When troubleshooting a variety of issues, it can be useful to determine if the issue affects a specific Windows user account or all accounts. Follow the steps below to create a new user account in Windows Vista or Windows 7:
From the Start menu, choose Control Panel.
Open Add or remove user accounts (If using the Classic View in Windows Vista, open User Accounts. Then open Manage another account).
Select Create a new account and follow the instructions to complete the account setup process.
Once the new account is created, choose Log Off from the Start menu.
Log into the newly created user account.
Open iTunes and determine whether the issue you were experiencing persists in this new user.
If you see the same issue in the newly created user account, proceed to the System-wide troubleshootingsection below. If you do not experience the same issue, consult the User-specific troubleshooting section below.
User-specific troubleshooting

All the very best,

New email window automatically moves to center of screen

When I create a new email in Apple Mail the new email window moves to the center of my screen. I want it to stay in the upper left whenre the window for the program is located, but it always opens inthe center and is very annoying.

Please follow these directions to delete the Mail "sandbox" folder.
Back up all data.
Triple-click the line below to select it:
~/Library/Containers/com.apple.mail
Right-click or control-click the highlighted line and select
Services ▹ Reveal
from the contextual menu.* A Finder window should open with a folder named "com.apple.mail" selected. If it does, move the selected folder — not just its contents — to the Desktop. Leave the Finder window open for now.
Quit and relaunch Mail, and test. If the problem is resolved, you may have to recreate some of your Mail settings. You can then delete the folder you moved and close the Finder window. If you still have the problem, quit Mail again and put the folder back where it was, overwriting the one that may have been created in its place. Post your results.
Caution: If you change any of the contents of the sandbox, but leave the folder itself in place, Mail may crash or not launch at all. Deleting the whole sandbox will cause it to be rebuilt automatically.
*If you don't see the contextual menu item, copy the selected text to the Clipboard (command-C). In the Finder, select
Go ▹ Go to Folder...
from the menu bar, paste into the box that opens (command-V). You won't see what you pasted because a line break is included. Press return.

Mini Player Not Remembering Position

I like to keep the iTunes mini-player in the lower right-hand corner of my screen, and until today it would always remember that position when I clicked the zoom button. Now, every time I click the zoom to go to the mini-player, it centers it on the screen. I have not done anything to update my system since yesterday. All the latest updates and fixes are applied. Any ideas?

Moved it to a new location a couple times and that fixed it.
