Mini Player Sort of thing....

Right now I have Windows. I really like this thing I recently discovered in these forums. It is the little toolbar thing that stays on the Windows version of the Dock on my computer. No window will go over the bottom toolbar thing (sorry, but I forget the technical term right now), so I can always easily change songs. This also allows it to not interfere with anything else I am doing on the computer.
If I do get a Mac, is there anything like that? If so, how do I get it onto my screen? I know that the Mini Player is something similar, but that might get in the way a little bit of the other things I am doing on the computer.
Any help is greatly appreciated.

Ok, I don't know why I posted this in here, guess I just blanked. I reposted it in Using iTunes for Mac, figure I'll get some more help in there (duh...)
Sorry about that!

Yes, you can get a contextual menu by control(right)-clicking on the iTunes icon in the Dock that will let you control iTunes. There are also lots of auxillirary programs and widgets that will let you control iTunes in various ways, but the contextual menu is always available.

ITunes Mini Player Does not show artwork

I have 100% of my music tagged with album art.
Album art shows 100% of the time in every other possible place in iTunes - including mini player next up.
When I look at mini player history, album art is missing 99% of the time.
Anybody have the fix?

I also find what Apple has done to be a huge step backwards.
Apple seems to be in the dark regarding the user experience - seemingly favoring form over function. I almost feel they are trying to just make things look pretty to please users in store but leaving real users left out to dry in regards to features and smart interface design.
The mini player is my primary interface for using iTunes - now this "upgrade" omits the playhead, time elapsed and remaining, volume controls (at a glance), full playback details, etc. How is this at all an improvement?
I suppose if making the interface "clean" - yeah - it's a home run. So pretty. So useless. Great job!
I said the same regarding Quicktime. I still use Quicktime 7 Pro (!!!!) over Quicktime for OSX because it has full controls, easy edit features (compared to the simplistic garbage of the new player) and most importantly - does not have movie controls overlaying my movie!!!
I know that's a tangent - but let's have a return to controls that sit below the movie as opposed to over it.
Apple, I truly love your products and own a significant amount of your gear - but you really need to sort out the user experience.
Cheers!

Meta data (song information) not updating in mini player for radio stream

I notice in the mini player view, the meta data does not update for radio streams. This is a big deal for me because I listen to radio stations all the time, and I don't want to have to switch between the mini player and full player to see the song information. This wasn't an issue in iTunes 10 (and previous versions as I recall), where I could just click to toggle between the name of the station and the meta information.

I understand your concerns, but regarding the headphone jack, this is standard procedure. While you may have checked these things, and know more about the player, a lot of people will not check the basic things before contacting support. The Advisors have to check these things with you first to make sure they've been checked.
As far as transferring data goes, it is true that unfortunately we cannot transfer data over for you or make a back-up. Doing this for all the returns for different players would require a lot of resources, time and money, making the RMA process a lot longer for everyone. In some cases, it's even necessary to replace the harddri've or the whole player.

ITunes Mini Player keeps moving

I keep my Mini Player in the bottom left of the screen and now when I open it then close it, the Mini Player jumps up an inch. I know this question has been asked before but the answer was always about how near it is to the edge but moving it away doesn't work. Any ideas on how to make it stay?
Thanks

Same exact problem here.
Minimize iTunes into the mini player and move it into a corner so it is visible while other windows are open.
Maximize iTunes for whatever reason, and re-minimize it, the mini player will movie itself up half inch or so, making it perfectly hidden behind an open window.
If I remember properly...this same exact thing has happened in previous other updates...was fixed promptly...keep the trend going...
Please fix

ITunes keeps opening in Mini-Player format

A few days ago I hit Ctrl-M (instead of Ctrl-N) and now find iTunes opens each time in Mini-Player mode. How can I get it back to opening in full screen mode?
(I have already tried the on-line help and can't find anything relevant. Also, I have checked and the tick-box in Edit/Preferences/Advanced is NOT set to keep the Mini-Player window on top of all other windows.)

Sorted it out myself ... somehow

How do I turn off artwork in iTunes Mini player 11.0.4?

I have been very vocal in mourning the loss of Cover Flow but now I've given iTunes 11 a second chance on my MacBook Pro.
The most irritating thing is the Mini Player is no longer 'mini'. How can I turn off artwork display when in mini mode? The whole point of this is to enable iTunes control whilst working, but having a big square displaying album artwork is just counter-productive.
I just want the option of a minimalist player when working.
Thanks,
Rich

Ah right, thank you!
I had the box with the artwork as small as possible and couldn't see the other artwork bottom left!

What happened to zoom option? The new Mini Player

I mean why change things and don't tell you. And if it was Working why fix it!!! So now it requires two hands to minimize and expand the mini player? It was easy before one hand with controlcommandZ now it requires commandshiftM. How annoying!!! Does anybody else feels my pain or am i the only one we actually misses this. Like the AMAZING tabs in Safari 4 Beta.
AND is there a way to change it back to the ZOOM command option?
Any answers are most welcome!!!!!!
My mac is a 13 Inch. So any Screen Real Estate space is valuable thats why I need the mini player AND since the Safari Beta edition I do not use the tabs. It also steals space from my screen those 4 millimeters are precious. I mean multiple windows with multiple tabs.

lol. i wonder why apple did this again! i think they secretly like to see threads pop up about it.
this happened back when we hit 9.0; i'm putting my feedback in, but LAWDAMERCY apple needs to stick to ctrlcmdz and just shut their mouths about it already. srsly, if anyone needs a full screen itunes windie (AND a shortcut for it to boot), you needs to gtfo. sry.

Dock the Mini Player (just a good idea)

It would be nice to dock the mini Player like the one in "Windows XP" so you can use the "auto hide and show” on the dock and not have the mini player show on top of other windows and get in the way. I just wanted to share my thoughts and see how you felt and if you have and programming skills to make this possible it would be great, or if some one from apple read this and put it in a update but I guess I can keep dreaming.

I haven't noticed any slowdown since upgrading to iOS 5.1.
I think some of the slowdown issues may have to with things like what capacity iPad you have?
I have an iPad1(soon to be a New iPad owner) that is the 32 GB model and have not had any type of
performance hit. I make sure not many background applications are running. I only have notifications turned on for certain apps and not globally. My iPad is a WiFi only model. Unless I need it, I, also, turn off Location Services.
If anything, I have less app crashes, too! Especially either in my browser of choice or Safari.
Many apps are more stable now, but also many app updates are bloated up larger now to accomodate to New iPad's Retina Display which the old iPad's can't take advantage of.
IMHO, the update is very much worth doing.
Have had this iPad for two years and this will get handed down to my girlfriend once I receive and setup my new iPad.
The original still works great, but with all of the improvements and the fact that I really need the max storage capacity of the 64GB model for my creative and media watching/listening needs.
It is ironic that a device and technology that is still evolving that the very first iPad would be now considered obsolete only after two years.
At least the OS can still be updated and can run on the "original" iPad. That's gotta say something about how useful the original iPad still is.
I figure my girlfriend will get, at least, another two years use out of this before she'll have to take the plunge and get herself her own iPad.
My "older" iPad will be my girfriend's first introduction to Apple. She has never used any Apple product or computer in her past.
I am hoping she'll like the iPad, over time.
Sorry. Got a little off-topic.

Mini Player Add-ons

I have always used iTunes and one thing I think its missing something wmp has.
When you use the mini player for wmp when ever it goes to the next song a little thing pops up and tells you what song is being played, then it goes away after a few seconds.
Is there anyway to get this on the itunes miniplayer?
Maybe something I have to download or enable?

That isn't something builtin to iTunes. However, you can probably find a Yahoo! widget that does what you want:

Mini player too big now

Just updated to 11.0.3 (42). When I minimise iTunes I want it to be in a neat little box that doesn't get in my way when I'm working. It's now much bigger to show the album art instead. I cannot find anywhere the preference to make it just a little play/pause etc control panel that it was before. Has this been taken away? I'm so tired of Apple whimsically changing things I rely on, which work just fine as they are.

If you grab the right frame of the mini player window and drag to the left it will minimally minimize in a minimalist manner.
Also, are you aware you can choose to show the mini player on top of other applications, or not? Just asking. It's under Preferences… menu/Advanced tab/Keep MiniPlayer on top of all other windows checkbox.

When I click on itunes to open it up, all I get is the mini player......

when I click on the box to expand mini-player, it says there is an error and disappears. If I hit the play button, it starts at the top of my list, but I have no access to the library or the playlists.
I originally downloaded itunes, and everything worked fine for a week or so. than this problem showed up. I un-installed itunes, quicktime...everything that came with the download, and re-downloaded the software, all to no avail. Still the same problem.
I presume this is an issue with my computer, and not the software. I called apple support, and they were NO help at all.
does anyone have any ideas as to what might be wrong?

I also had issues with my 4S. I just got the 5S and can't get it to read my phone. It did it once and I was able to download my music, but can't get my ringtones and i have 25 ringtones that I can no longer get to after paying for them!!! Please HELP. It no longer sees my phone. I have uninstalled and reinstalled I Tunes mltiple times.
Thanks,
Shan

Mini player does not work, can only switch playlists by closing and restarting iTunes

For the last few versions of iTunes, my mini player does not work, only choices are large window and larger window. Also, if I am listening to a playlist and hit the pause button, then switch to another playlist, the old playlist keeps playing when I hit play. The only way I can figure out to switch playlists is to quit and relaunch iTunes.

try rebooting the ipad
you know holding down the on button and the home button until the slider comes
and turn it off and start it up again

When I print a photo to my epson printer, it comes out larger than the original photo - so the photo prints beyond the borders. Tried readjusting all sorts of things but nothing helps. I had this same problem with my Canon. any ideas?
