Mini player icon-switch eliminated from iTunes

In the (numerous) recent changes to iTunes desktop application, the icon to switch from/to the mini player has been eliminated. The ease of access to the master screen is now complicated by increasing the number of steps. This makes no sense. Focusing on an icon-switch for large or small art work is ridiculous. Get back to core simplicity of operation. Leave the design factor for those that want to twiddle with the view screen.

The switch to activate the mini player will appear, when you hover the pointer at the upper left corner of the display.

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.

HT204406 Uploaded CD last night. I see it in itunes match. However can only download some of the songs. Few have the Icon to download from Itunes Match, however it is not able to be clicked on. It's a lighter icon then other download ones.

I uploaded a CD last night. I see it in my ituned match on my work cpu. I can download 6 of the 10 songs. The other 4 have an Icon to download from Itunes Match, however it is not able to be clicked on. // See Pearl Jam Ten. I can download almost half the songs. The others remaining I cannot though they say they are available. I've reset the cache, I've closed and reopened Itunes, I have even turned MATCH off and then back on. Nothing is working. Please help. Also the song will not play. If I start the album, it skips over these songs.

The number of Songs that 'matched' is simply a function of the current iTunes Match service process. It is not unusual to have multiple Songs in an otherwise perfectly matched album be uploaded - often it is very possible to find the album in the iTunes Store.
The Artwork does tend to reappear for many over a few days / weeks - however, if your library backup has all Artwork present it would be wise to save the Album Art separately and reapply to Albums not showing art work in the library grid view.
Many of the other performance issues you mention are not typical - though during the past working week or so the Apple Infrastructure has been very heavily loaded with multiples countries having service go-live symultaneously.

Why dos it take 96 mins to download a film from iTunes

Why is it taking 96 mins to download a film from iTunes ?? With 6 mg Internet ???

A movie can take some GBs that must be downloaded, so in a 6 Mb connection, that's normal

Mini player time counter - count from beginning of song

ITunes 11.3 lost part of the time counter on the mini player. It shows how much time is left in the song, but it doesn't show how much time into the song you are (time from the beginning). I use ITunes to choreograph my Indoor cycling classes and it's important for me to see how far into a song certain changes in the routine will occur. It's also important to have this feature in the mini player as opposed to having to switch to the full player. Please put this feature back!

Our Podcast Icon is missing from iTunes - please help

Our podcast icon is missing from our Feed. Please can someone help us figure out what could be causing this.
Here is the URL to our Podcast Image

PODCAST: http://www.modtvnetwork.com/podcasts/modtv/modtv_podcast.xml
Here is the link to our Feedburner Feed:

Please can someone be in touch to let me know.

The image is correctly referenced in the feed, is the correct dimensions and within the 500kB file size limit, so you've done your part correctly.
The iTunes Store can be flaky about images: it's not that unusual for a new image to take quite a long time to appear, or for an existing one to disappear for a time. I'm afraid there isn't really much you can do about it except wait for the Store to get its act together.
You could try emailing Support at podcasts 'at' apple.com but I'm afraid you are likely to get a form response telling you how to provide an image, which you already know.

Airport icon now gone from iTunes how to get back?

why has my Airport disappeared from iTunes and more important, how do I get it back?

Is it on another screen? If so go to the screen where it appears and put your finger on the icon and leave it there until the icon wiggles and then drag the icon to the screen you want them to be on. If you cant find the icons (native apps that come with the phone cnat be deleted) go to settings>general>reset then reset home screen layout

Airtunes icon has disappeared from iTunes since latest OS X update (10.6.7)

I don't see the icon for choosing my Airport Express speakers anymore. I just updated to OS X 10.6.7 and iTunes 10.2.1 and it's gone!
I tried to download iTunes again from a direct link - not via Software Update - but it didn't help. (I didn't uninstall the old version though because the app Clean My Mac warned against it)
Anyone had this problem and found a solution?
Thanks

I see it but when I switch to it nothing happens - music keeps coming out of the computer.

After installing Mavericks, my DVD player icon is missing from my launchpad. How do I get it back?

I installed Mavericks yesterday and then tried to watch a movie.That is when I noticed the icon for the dvd player is no longer in the launchpad. If I put the disk in the drive it opens on it own or if I search for DVD player it will come up under a spotlight or finder. How do I get the icon back on my launchpad? I don't want to have to search/insert a movie everytine I want to watch one. I would lik to be able to just click the icon to open the player. Thanks.

cfkola,
Welcome to the HP Forum.
I believe you must be referring to the Solution Center Printer software and not your Control Panel.
Your Solution Center shortcut may just be missing -- or there may be a deeper issue with your printer software.
The easier option might be to reinstall the Full Feature Software for your printer and see if that solves all the troubles at one time.
In most cases, for most printers, the Solution Center has been replaced with the Printer Assistant shortcut. This is just a new program that does about the same things as the Solution Center. Some people like it better. The interface looks a bit different -- many of the features are the same; for example, your scanning and ink check features will be available.
The instructions to (re)install the printer software are provided in this Dragon document:

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.

I switched music from iTunes from my old laptop to my new one, but can't get the music to play

I seem to be having problems with my new laptop, specifically in playing music on iTunes. I have a HP Envy using Windows 8. I downloaded the compatible version of iTunes for Windows 8 and moved the music from my old laptop (Dell Latitude D830) to my new one. I tried to play some of the music and after clicking play nothing happens. I have also noticed that I seem to have difficulties running the program if I don't run it as administrator. So if there is any advice anyone could give me I would greatly appreciate it.

See if this Discussion offers any assistance

Ipad mini does not download songs from itunes cloud

Trying to download my purchased song content down to a new ipad mini. Tried to do this in itunes on a sync and also through apple store by hitting icloud content - both all songs and individual songs. Appears to be downloading but does not show up in my music to play. I tried re-boot and factory re-set. No joy. Any suggestions? Thanks in advance

I have chased several other threads on this topic - I am not alone with this issue. I have done multiple device re-boots and factory resets. Is this a fatal flaw in the music software? All other aspects, apps etc are fine. Songs downloaded on my macbook air, ipod and iphone all OK
Check out these threads - no solutions for anyone other than someone who took their device to the store

ITunes 5 poor performance in mini player view

When I switch the iTunes 5 interface to the "mini player" view (green plus button), iTunes consumes ~65% CPU time continuously. This isn't the case when iTunes is minimzed, and when the entire interface is visible it only takes ~15% CPU time continuously. This wasn't the case with iTunes 4.x, in which the mini player mode didn't appear to consume any more CPU time than any other view mode. It's terribly annoying since it heats the computer significantly and forces my laptop's fan to spin nonstop.
I can only attribute this behavior to the new "skin," but is anyone else seeing poor performance from iTunes 5 in the mini player view?

No, I just downloaded iTunes 5 a few days ago and I don't have any add-ons. I should clarify that this is on my 867MHz Powerbook G4.
I've been observing the CPU usage some more, and it seems to take a huge hit with songs/labels that are very long; i.e.: ones that scroll sideways across the yellow display on the second line. I've noticed this behavior with Podcasts--the Podcast name will be short and will not scroll, then it's description will roll up and will be long enough to require sideways scrolling. The poor performance comes only whin scrolling titles are being displayed, consuming 45-65% CPU.
Playing music with short artist and album names consumes 10-15% CPU continuously, with spikes to 35% when the artist/album rolls upwards on the yellow display window. If sideways scrolling is displayed, again CPU usage stays high.
If iTunes 5 is in mini player mode and not playing anything (only the Mac logo in the yellow window), then continuous CPU usage is <1%.
It seems to me that text animation in the GUI has taken a huge hit with the upgrade to iTunes 5.
