Non-integer AS access to iTunes time values?

It is currently only possible to access various time properties of an iTunes Track as integers, both for reading and writing, via AppleScript / AppleEvents. However, iTunes actually stores these values more precisely - for example, it is possible to set the start time of a song, in the Song Info window's Options tab, to be a fraction of a second (e.g. 0:00.168 seconds).
The limitation to integers makes it impossible to use this information externally from iTunes. Further, it also makes it impossible to update this information with a useful value from an external application.
Does anyone know of an alternative way to set the start time of a song, which would allow an accuracy of more than the nearest second?

The applescript-users mailing list might be more knowledgeable on this topic.

How can I use the old Apple TV with new iTunes? It tells me to input a code in iTunes but iTunes no longer has a spot to input this code to allow sync. I can access the iTunes Store fine, just none of my Library

TS3297 Every time I open iTunes to listen to music, not access the iTunes Store, I get the password sign in box, over and over again. When I try to access the iTunes Store it does not except my password. This has happened since the last update.

Everytime I open iTunes to play music, NOT to access the iTunes Store, I get the password sign in box for the iTunes Store. If I click cansel the box pops up a second time.
When I try to sign in to the iTunes Store it does not except the password and pops up the sign in box afain,and again endlessly.
This started happening about two weeks ago.

if itunes will not run, you probably have mangled windows badly
one feature of windows 8 is the refresh that saves libraries,
because you are using windows 7, you will need to backup all files to another storage device

I have recently tried to access my itunes account but am unable to. I installed and uninstalled the new download several times. I know I have a balance from itunes cards on my account as I received an email recently. I have an ipod shuffle

I have tried to access the itunes store by many different means. I know I have account balance as I put in 2 gift cards back in March and have not used them all. I recently installed and uninstalled itunes several times but I still cannot open it on my computer. When plugging in my ipod shuffle it does not automatically load either although my computer says it's working correctly.

Click on the "Start" button. Click "Run." Type the word "cmd" in the open box. When the DOS screen comes up, type "netsh winsock reset." Press "Enter." Type "exit" to close the DOS window and go back to Windows.
Restart the computer.

Purchased Direct Access from iTunes. I cannot locate the download and I cannot download it a second time. Any ideas as to where the original download might reside?

I cannot access the iTunes store from any of my computers. When I updated to v. 10.7 it made my laptop unable to access. I have installed and uninstalled numerous times.

I cannot access the iTunes store from any of my computers. When I updated to v. 10.7 it made my laptop unable to access just like with my two desktops. I have installed and uninstalled numerous times.

Nothing happens. iTunes just hangs up every time, saying "Accessing iTunes Store." It does that for a very, very long time, then nothing. Here is what happens when I run diagnostics.

I am unable to access my iTunes store through my iTunes account. Every time I have tried it gives me an error ' cannot, connect to iTunes'

check to see if you are online
check to see if you can access secured websites (https) on your computer / device
if this is on a computer with windows configuring your antivirus / firewall to not block itunes some times will help, also resetting your tcp/ip might fix it (open command prompt as an administrator, type: "netsh reset winsock" hit enter, restart computer

ITunes Accesses FDD every time I play a file (!!!)

This is really funny, as every time I hear the FDD drive being accessed I laugh and keep wondering why would a program like iTunes 7.2, in the 21st century would mess with the floppy diskette drive and access it every time I play a file, despite the fact that I have not inserted a floppy disk since I bought my PC.
Any ideas on how I can stop it?

First, make sure it is iTunes that is accessing the FDD. You can use the free tool "Filemon" to do so:

ITunes crashes when trying to access the iTunes Store -- Quick Time is installed but diagnostic says "QuickTime not available"

I'm getting a Windows error and iTunes crashes any time I try to access the iTunes store. I'm not sure if this may be related, but when I run a connectivity diagnostic, system info shows:
Microsoft Windows 7 x64 Home Premium Edition Service Pack 1 (Build 7601)
Gigabyte Technology Co., Ltd. EX58-UD3R
iTunes 10.5.0.142
QuickTime not available
I have QuckTime 7.7.1 (1680.42) installed and it works without trouble. Is the fact that iTunes doesn't recognize my install possibly related to the crashes? I have uninstalled and reinstalled both programs a couple times.

Well, as far as I can see, no one has responded to this question. Nor do I see any solutions mentioned in other questions by folks having the same problem. So I can only assume that there IS no fix.
Oh well, I know that one user is just "small potatoes" as far as the iTunes Store is concerned, but they've just lost this frequent little revenue stream - their loss, Amazon's gain.
Good-bye iTunes store - it was fun while it lasted...

HT1725 42404 error after downloading itunes (20+ times!) can access the itunes store but can't do any downloads... itunes support has not offered any valid suggestions

42404 error after downloading itunes (20+ times!) can access the itunes store but can't do any downloads... itunes support has not offered any valid suggestions

This is EXACTLY what happened to me and many others. Tech support returned most of my money but not all of it. Figure that one out! It is clear no music is downloaded (or in queue), it is clear an unknown error message is produced, and it is clear we, the consumer, are still being charged anyway. Will Apple require a credit card from its customers and alienate those that do not wish to use a credit card? Will Apple insult its customers and make silly suggestions such as 'Use an iTunes gift card' in much the same way a forum moderator has already recommended?
I have an idea: Acknowledge the problem publicly (via email, for example) and fix it in a future update. Customers will be more understanding if they know there is a temporary problem and Apple is working hard to fix it. Oh, and return our money, please!

Without access, you're gonna have to wait until you reach the 5 authorized computer limit, then you can de-authorize all.

Authorization
Macs: iTunes Store- About authorization and deauthorization.
Windows: How to Authorize or Deauthorize iTunes | PCWorld.
In iTunes you use the Authorize This Computer or De-authorize This Computer option under the Store menu in iTunes' menubar. For Windows use the ALT-S keys to access it. Or turn on Windows 7 and 8 iTunes menus: iTunes- Turning on iTunes menus in Windows 8 and 7.
To deauthorize a computer you don't have:
De-authorizing Computers (contributed by user John Galt)
You can de-authorize individual computers, but only by using those computers. The only other option is to "de-authorize all" from your iTunes account.
1. Open iTunes on a computer
2. From the Store menu, select "View my Account..."
3. Sign in with your Apple ID and password.
4. Under "Computer Authorizations" select "De-authorize All".
5. Authorize each computer you still have, as you may require.
You may only do this once per year.
After you "de-authorize all" your authorized computers, re-authorize each one as required.
If you have de-authorized all computers and need to do it again, but your year has not elapsed, then contact: Apple - Support - iTunes - Contact Us.
For more information on authorization and de-authorization: iTunes Store- About authorization and deauthorization.

Can time capsule allow me to stream music from my itunes library directly to my home stereo system? Is there anyway to access my itunes library from my tv?

can time capsule allow me to stream music from my itunes library directly to my home stereo system? Is there anyway to access my itunes library from my tv?

Sorry, not sure if I understand what you are asking.
Are you thinking of moving your iTunes / Media Folder from your Mac to the Time Capsule?
If you do this...when...not if...the Time Capsule drive has a problem....you lose everything because you have no backup for the iTunes library.
A much safer plan would be to add an external hard drive to your computer and move the iTunes library there.
Then, if you are using Time Machine for backups, it will back up both your Mac and the hard drive. Now you have "originals" on one drive and backups on another.
In order to stream music from the iTunes library, iTunes must always be open on your computer.
Is there anyway to access my itunes library from my tv?
Yes, if your TV has an HDMI input and you have an Apple TV.

We are using apple tv to try to access our itunes account on the computer. We see our library of music but when we click on the song it searches for a long time and then says that it cannot access the itunes store. Any ideas on what we are doing wrong?

Welcome to the Apple Community.
Try the following steps, check whether things are working after each step where appropriate, before trying the next.
Restart the Apple TV (Settings > General > Restart).
Restart the Apple TV by removing ALL the cables for 30 seconds.
Restart your router.
Reset the Apple TV (Settings > General > Reset > Reset all settings)
Restore the Apple TV (Settings > General > Reset > Restore)
