New itunes 9 mini player doesn't look good

for a moment i was having graphic issues w/ itunes or my compt. the new shadow at the top header makes it look like a bent metal. i like previous graphic where it was simply across the surface and the window simply pops-out of the screen among other window on your screen. also the void space at the bottom is disconcerting. it just appears that something that something had to be there. i see no additional value or function for these two new visual characteristics.

You can post feedback about iTunes from the main iTunes drop down menu.

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.]

You need to convert the AVI file to MP4. Here is just one of the many converters available (via Google) http://www.divx.com/en/software/divx-plus/oca/mp4-converter?gclid=CJnqnpaF37gCFc fJtAod8RUAeg

Iweb website doesn't look good on our web server (apache2)

hello,
I made a website on iweb and then published it to a folder. I then copied the files to our web server (linux, sles9). When I viewed the files on my laptop, it looked fine. But when I put the files on the web server, it looks bad.
please see www DOT tkminc DOT com
Why are all the spaces full of capital letter A's? It's not just that. The second page doesn't look good either. I was all happy about using iweb until I saw the results on the web server. Why is this happening?
Thanks,
oskar

Why are all the spaces full of capital letter A's?
I don't see any A's.
But if one does see such characters, it is normally because the server is (mis)configured to force all browsers to use the wrong encoding. See this note:

ITunes mini player and Spaces

I am a big fan of using Spaces to clean up my workflow, but I have one minor quibble/question. I would like to display the iTunes mini player (the one you get by pressing the green button in iTunes twice) in ALL of my spaces. That way I can pause, fastforward, etc no matter what Space I'm working in.I don't really want to assign iTunes to ALL spaces to accomplish this. Any thoughts?

There are a number of utilities that will put Icons for Rew|Play/Pause|Fwd on the menu bar, or you can use the keyboard on most modern Macs with designated assignments for these functions on F7, 8 and 9.
Not exactly what you want, but like you, it's what I have to make do with.

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?

Itunes mini player in keynote

After searching through the forums I haven't really stumbled upon an answer to this...
Is there a way to see the itunes mini player in your keynote presentation screen? I have my macbook set up to a projector and I need to play music throughout the presentation. I would love to be able to control itunes without having to leave the presenter screen so there's no interruption in my presentation. You can customize a lot of options for your presenter screen but the itunes mini player is not one of them. Is there a workaround that anyone has found?
Thanks so much for the help.

If you search the Keynote forums for "Dashboard" and "Widget", you will find a technique for having widgets float above Keynote presentations (and there are plenty of iTunes controller widgets). I have not tested this in Snow Leopard, however.

Gui program doesn't look good with startx

I did not install a DE in arch linux, just to keep it lightweight. However, my GUI application doesn't look good running with start x.
is there any package I can install to make it look better, like fonts, visuals, or the only way is to install either KDE or GNOME desktops?

If you did not install a desktop environment or one of the windows managers, and you are using startx without having created your very own ~/.xinitrc, then you are using a very simple WM called twm.
You may really want to look at the wiki documentation that was linked in your other thread -- If you are trying to stay light, there are other choices to Gnome or KDE. Look at i3, Openbox, xfce4, or any of the other beloved environments discussed at length of these forums.
Even with twm, you can install and run a screen shot program.

New iTunes on Mac doesn't allow me anymore to select all songs and 'Get info' to adjust the volume, like the old one. It says"your selection contains more than one type of media". They are all songs! Help please!

Not true. Select "Kind" as a sort category by right clicking the headings
Then click to sort by Kind
If your Import Settings are for Apple Lossless, AIFF, AAC or whatever the majority of your files are, convert MP3s to that file type.
I've presently got 17,000+ files in my library, and they're ALL MP3 or M4B(Audiobooks). If they weren't when I got them, I converted them. Saves a LOT of hassels with just this type of situation. Besides I have two non Apple MP3 players that WON'T work with other file types besides MP3 so, EVERYTHING I have has to be MP3.

KDE fonts under Gnome doesn't look good

Ok, most people complains about GTK fonts under KDE. I have the inverse problem, my kde apps doesn't look good into gnome.
If I run kde, the fonts are displayed properly with small size, but if I run gnome and the run a kde app, the fonts are very big.
When i run a gtk app under kde, the fonts are showed properly but it doesn't use my gnome theme.
Anyone have a solution on making kde apps looking good under gnome?

Even though it's the inverse problem, it's likely still the same solution. Gnome has a Gconf setting for DPI. Otherwise you change it as an option to X. Where you do so depends on how you start up X though (startx, xdm, kdm, gdm, etc). I'll post back once I'm in Gnome and tell you where you can change the DPI.

If i got a new iTunes and it doesn't have anysongs on it and my ipod does, will my ipod lose all the songs, apps and etc. i have on it if i sync it with the new itunes?

If you transfer any iTunes content to the iPhone from an iTunes library on another computer, all iTunes content on the iPhone will be erased first with a warning message provided indicating this beforehand.
Authorize the different computer with your Apple ID with iTunes. With your iPhone connected and without syncing, right click on the iPhone under Devices in the iTunes source list and at the menu window that appears, select Transfer Purchases. This will transfer all apps on your iPhone to the iTunes library.

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!

How can I search PDF's with iTunes mini player search?

I have been storeing PDF's in iTunes books becuase its so simple to use. The new mini player in iTunes 11 mini player is amazing and provides some very nice looking searchs.
However I can't search PDF's via the mini player. Does anyone know how to make this work on a windows install of iTunes?
Thanks

I've had the same problem as first posted. Tried the suggested solutions and none of them worked. I finally have found somethng that does work.
In iTunes v.11.0.1.12, I needed to get to the following screen before DELETE would work:
In the uppper LEFT corner select Books.
Then highlight/select the PDF file you wish to delete, and right click to get the menu to pop up.
Now, select DELETE from the menu.

New iTunes 4.9 doesn't convert .mpg into .mp3 or aac ?

hello support!
I'm a producer in a german radiostation. we're working with soundfiles saved in .mpg files (mpeg1 audio). In past (with version 4.8) it was possible to import that files into itunes and convert it into mp3 or aac. Now, with that new podcast version, it doesn't work. If I try, I get an unknown error "(-50)". does anyone know about this problem?
and another question: why does itunes play that .mpg files without any problems and ipod doesn't ???

dennis

Dennis,
What I did:
1) I bought apple quicktime pro do not follow me in this it won't help you.. I got angry and at the apple store they said I would get my money back because I asked them BEFORE I bought and they said it would work. It doesn't
2) I downloaded MPEG streamclip (free) at http://www.apple.com/downloads/macosx/video/mpegstreamclip.html
AND....
It works! You do not need to buy the Apple quicktime MPEG 2 component rubbish, you do not need it if you convert just audio!
I have MP2 files with 384 kbbs and I was looking a bit odd when they showed up as 192 kbbs but that is per stereo channel so the total comes to 384 again.
I transferred the files into AIFF and it works I do see a conversion into AC3 is that AAC? well if you can convert to AIFF you can use iTunes again to convert to AAC or MP3!
so now you can do the job! I am now, after a few hours, again back to start to work..... thanks iTunes boys!
there is another app at http://www.dekorte.com/projects/shareware/SoundConverter/ is seems to do the job as well but it'll cost you 10 dollar. And I do not know if it is as good as the free app...

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 Mini Player

Yesterday I made my own account on Windows (W7) so I had to download iTunes. The other account I was using before I made one of my own has a revamped mini player on iTunes which is version 11.3.1.2. When I started using my own Windows account and transferred all of my music from the old iTunes to the other, it worked out fine. But now when I click on the mini player it gives me a totally different one from the other iTunes. Both iTunes are the same software 11.3.1.2 and everything is the same but the mini player. The one that I like is the kind of big one that shows the album cover and its about the size of a cube. The one that I have now is very tiny and has a rectangular shape. I don't like that one too much because its tiny and doesn't show the visualizer like the other mini player does. Can someone help me out? How do i get the small but not so small cube shaped one back? I'd really appreciate it. thanks in advance!

A few questions to start off. What version of iTunes are you on? And if you try pressing ctrlcommandZ, what happens? That's the keyboard shortcut for that.
