Mini Player

I want the iTunes mini-player in a screen corner. But iTunes wants it squarely in the middle of my screen. Is there a way I can have my way without having to move the mini-player every time?

Allan,
Set the mini player window where you'd like it, then quit iTunes. After relaunching, iTunes should remember your window placement.

  • 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,

  • 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

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • How can I play a movie in iTunes mini player?  (Progress bar button broken?)

    It took forever to figure out how to get iTunes to even OPEN a new window for movie playback, but once I finally found instructions (click the button with movie art to the left of the progress bar to open in new window) they only partially worked.  A new window opens, but movie playback continues in the main window.  The new window shows a freeze frame of the scene displayed at the moment I clicked the progress bar button.  The new window looks just like the mini player, and its control buttons work, but they effect the main window's movie playback not the new window/mini player where I want to watch the movie.
    Is it my progress bar that's broken?  I'm all updated with iTunes version 11.1.5.  Does this version not play well with my OS X 10.6.8?
    Ultimately I just want to be able to play a movie in the mini player while using other applications; surely that's possible.
    [Also, on the "Operating System" dropdown menu below, I just selected OS X 10.6.8 and then the dropdown showed "No operating system selected" and the selection arrows no longer work.  Any ideas what happened?  My MacBook Old feels so janky right now.]

  • ITunes always opens in Mini Player?? Help

    Can't go into much more detail except that every time I open my iTunes, it opens in the little mini player. I should clarify by saying this by saying that by "open" I mean run iTunes after it has been QUIT after the last usage.

    Hey,
    I am facing the same problem. Everytime i open iTunes on my mac, it always opens as the mini player on the left top corner of my screen(its never opened at any other position). Then i change it to the normal player with <shift>+<command>+m. Later, when i quit and reopen it, the normal window appears.
    I've tried reinstalling it but the problem persists. Is there any way to fix this bug?
    Using OSX 10.7.1 and iTunes 10.4.1.

  • Where has the song information gone from the mini player?

    I also hate the new iTunes 11. I could probably get along with its user unfriednlyness if they'd left the mini player alone. I like to keep this on top of my other windows so I know what's playing and how long a song has left to go. The new version removes this useful information in favour of a uselss mini LP cover that's too small for anyone to see. Does anyone know if there's way of getting back to the previous version without reverting back to iTunes 10. I tried this but it wouldn't let me because its linked iTuines with OS X.
    I\'ve never complained about an upgrade before but this looks like it was put together by a bunch of idiots.

    The new miniplayer also shows songinfo, but shows the playback controls on mouse-over (and hides song info) However! If you have one of the controls 'selected' (blue highlight) then the songinfo won't come up anytime. Try selecting the miniplayer and pushing TAB a few times.
    Probably because you have this selected: (old screen, but same option)

  • 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.

  • How do I have ONLY THE MINI PLAYER open when I click an Mp3 or M4a file? (Windows PC)

    I don't want the entire iTunes interface opening when I just want to listen to a song. How do I go about setting iTunes to open in JUST the mini player?

    Just to expand on Frank's answer: that's how Aperture works.  Stacks travel together.  You will see the same behavior regarding filtering in the Album that you see in the Project.  (Album is a container.  As with a Project, you can filter the Album container to show only items that meet your filter criteria, but the contents of the container don't change by being filtered.)
    This is why Album picks are so useful.  In Projects, the Stack Pick is the left-most Image in the Stack, and is the Image that shows when the Stack is minimized.  In Albums, you can specify an Album Pick.  (The default Pick is the Stack Pick.)  When a Stack in an Album is collapsed, the Album Pick is the Image that shows on top.
    Added the following paragraph:
    So you could have a Project with Stacks of bracketed exposures (an excellent use of Stacks), you could make the best of these the Pick, and then you could make an Album showing, say, the second best ones by putting them in an Album and designating the second-best Images as the Album Pick of each Stack.
    You should have no trouble creating an Album of your selected Images (in this case, you are selecting by "is flagged").  With Stacks collapsed, you should see what you seem to want, which is a group of the Images you selected to be in the Album.
    denke wrote:
    I want to make an album inside the project showing only the photos I uploaded, but I have not found how to do this.
    That the rest of the Images in the Stack are there shouldn't be a concern.  Why is it?

  • Mini Player Won't Stap Open In All Spaces

    How do I keep itunes mini player open in all spaaces?  Checking "keep player on top of all windows" doesn't seem to do it.  Haven't found another way to do this since upgrading to Lion 7.2.

    Captfred, you're the man!  Thank you, it worked.  Just a note, when I looked there, "Assign to All Desktops" WAS already checked.  I unchecked it by choosing "This Desktop" and then re-cheecked the former and, indeed, it worked.  Thanks again.

  • Mini Player Issues

    I've been using iTunes 9.2.0.61 and no matter how many times I try to drag the mini player to the lower right corner of my screen; anytime I maximize iTunes and re-minimize it to the mini player, the player re-centers itself in the middle of my screen. Any ideas as to why this would happen.

  • Erratic behaviour of 'mini player'

    When I click the mini player's play/pause button while anonther application has the mousefocus (finder statusbar shows other application's name) the music stops for a fraction of a second and then continues to play.
    Sometimes when maximizing the iTunes Windows the whole window follows the mouse even after I released the mouse button. I have to do some more mouseclicks and everything works fine again.
    I remember having the same problem months ago (i.e. with 10.4.x) but I forgot how to solve it, which is driving me nuts...
    I believe it had something to do with a quicktime plugin, but I can't really remember, and I currently only have flip4mac installed.

    This seems to be a bug of iTunes or the system control notfication system.
    Just click on the desktop (to activate the Finder); then click on the iTunes window (to activate iTunes) an it'll work. This problem seems only to be valid sometimes when iTunes is not the frontmost application.
    Best,
    Michael

  • Alright why oh why can't I switch between iTunes details and mini player?

    Ok I like the new format, separation of the iTunes store makes it a great media player. However the with the new iTunes application what Neanderthal decided not to use the green button to switch between listing and viewing and the mini player, instead it's a trip to the keyboard OR stupidly switching between a big screen layout and a not so big layout,... useless!
    I use itunes as follows open application select music, settings and then set to mini player and get on with what I'm doing, at least let us choose the behaviour it has when clicking the green button,... please,...

    The only fix at the moment is to hold the option key when clicking the green button.
    Send Apple your feedback and this might get fixed: http://www.apple.com/feedback/itunesapp.html

  • How do i get the mini-player on my bottom right hand corner startbar

    I used to be able to have the mini-player next to my system icon tray, right on the bottom right hand corner. Now, since re-formatting my computer because of a super-cool keylogger , it no longer works. Is this because of 6.0.4? Orrrr, am I just overlooking something small?
    -Nate <3

    On the top-bar of iTunes, Under "advanced" click "switch to mini-player". That will automatically switch it to that size.
    You can change it back to normal size mode by clicking the "maximize" symbol.
    Of course, you can adjust the location of it on the screen at anytime by dragging its border (like any other program).
    Good luck!
