Run iTunes as a Windows service?

There are two issues I'd like to overcome with iTunes-
I have to be logged in for iTunes to download podcasts.
iTunes won't wake up the computer when it's time to do a podcast download.
Has anyone dealt with these issues? (Maybe launching iTunes as a service with one of those wrapper utilities? and or create a scheduled task that wakes up the computer at the podcast download time?)
Also:
Where can I set the time of day when podcast download is scheduled? I didn't see a Scheduled Task for podcast download, only Apple Software update.
Windows Windows XP Pro

Nope there isn't. And there also isn't a reason not to use 3rd party software as there is an excellent open source API to do this job: Java Service Wrapper.

My wife's ipod nano was plugged into the machine overnight.
When she went running with it, there were no songs on it. She checked the computer and was horrified to see that the playlists had disappeared and most of the songs had disappeared.
QUESTIONS:
1. What could it be?
2. How can I fix it?

You could try downloading and installing 7-Zip (free) and downloading a fresh copy of the iTunes installer, unpack the installer into its components using 7-Zip then try a standalone install of AppleApplicationSupport. It may still fail to install but if so you may get useful error messages as to why not.

You should first uninstall iTunes completely.
This is not an easy task!
Read this article on how to remove iTunes completely
http://www.howtogeek.com/howto/23959/completely-remove-itunes-and-other-apple-so ftware-from-a-windows-computer/
Then download the latest version of iTunes for your Windows Version and install it.

Hi
We have found the product for the job. If anyone have the same problem, you can find the program Service+ at nicoware.net
It is running OC4J as a service very well. It even logs console output to a text file. We are now using it in our production system.

My application doesn't start when I run the domain as windows service

I am using weblogic 10.3.2 and i created a domain called rec_domain and i have AdminServer
also i deployed application called myApplication to the rec_domain
then i created windows service to run the server as a windows service
The Script for Setting Up a Server as a Windows Service:
echo off
SETLOCAL
set DOMAIN_NAME=rec_domain
set USERDOMAIN_HOME=C:\Oracle\Middleware\user_projects\domains\rec_domain
set SERVER_NAME=AdminServer
set WLS_USER=usernmae
set WLS_PW=password
set PRODUCTION_MODE=true
set JAVA_VM=-jrockit
set JAVA_VENDOR=BEA
set JAVA_HOME=C:\Oracle\Middleware\jrockit_160_05
set MEM_ARGS=-Xms40m -Xmx250m
call "C:\Oracle\Middleware\wlserver_10.3\server\bin\installSvc.cmd"
ENDLOCAL
the service was created successfully and when i restart the computer it runs the adminserver successfully
but it doesn't start myApplication_
does anyone know where is the problem?

Hi Wael,
Can you please specify, What do u mean by Application Doesn't start? Is it Moving to PREPARED State Rather than ACTIVE state? Or the Application Health is not OK? Are you seeing any Warning or Error Message while starting the Server related to Deployment?
As the Production Mode is On...So I just wanted to confirm that By Mistake have u used the AutoDeploy feature to deploy Applications...Because the AutoDeploy Feature Doesn't Work in Production_Mode=true.
After Configuring the Windows Service Have you tried to Deploy the Application Freshly? Was it Successful?
Thanks

Running iTunes 8 on Windows Server 2003, avoiding 2096 error

Since QuickTime 7.5,nor iTunes neither QuickTime would run on my Server 2003, and the famous 2096 error came up. Unfortunately the new 2+ iPod firmware required iTunes 8 so I had to do something about it. The solution by apple was to turn off compatibility mode, but that was not on in the first place. Reinstalling, searching the net for solutions,.. nothing helped.
So here is how I solved my problem. QuickTime 7.5+ requires at least XP SP2 so i followed this guide > http://www.sheebz.net/post/2008/03/Running-Photoshop-CS3-on-Windows-2003-Server. aspx
and did the same both for the QuickTime and iTunes executables(instead of the setup.exe in the guide), and viola they are running. Note that the Microsoft Application Verifier program must be running when you start iTunes or QuickTime. The cool thing is that you have to do this only once, seems it just needs to pass the first check and after that you're good to go, no need for the Microsoft Application Verifier to be running anymore. Enjoy

Well now we're getting somewhere.
The RDP connection is fast, as there is nothing but 100Mb/s LAN and a switch between my desktop and the server, so thats not it. Quicktime is fine, so thats not it.
I AM, however, running iTunes 4.8.0.32. I'm not very keen on the idea of moving to 6.0.2 for reasons that I'd rather not go into on this particular board... Is (the upgrade) this something i can do on the one machine unassociated with my apple ID? What parts of the older version are problematic?
thanks!

Running itunes with old windows

Hi I have two computers, 1 is my main computer a Dell dimension 2400 running windows xpand the other is a home built running windows 98. Is there any way to run itunes on my home built computer or do i need to purchase windows xp(which i don't have the money for) to be able to run itunes on it?

I can't help but wonder WHY you would want to run iTunes on an OS that old? You won't be able to get to the Music Store, or update any reasonably new iPod...
In any case, you can try older versions of iTunes from here:

Running iTunes in two windows at the same time

How can I simultaneously view two windows with different playlist on each one? I remember, that was possible in the previous version of iTunes.

Haldir4,
Unfortunatley, that ability was removed in iTunes 11.
If you have suggestions for Apple, you can use the iTunes Feedback page.

Running Weblogic managed server as Windows service

Hi,
i'm using Weblogic 6.0 SP2 and i'm trying to run Managed Server as windows
service (i'm using Win2k). I use a pretty long CLASSPATH in order to run my
WebApplication and it looks like beasvc.exe truncates my CLASSPATH - that
way my application wouldn't work.
Is there any workaround to my problem ?
Thanks alot for any help,
Bybye.

Windows has a command line limitation of 2K.
Since you invoke beasvc.exe from command line, it will obviously get's
truncated
1)
One work around will be to set the registry manually after invoking
the beasvc.exe
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\
<service-name>\Parameters
Alter cmdLine parameter to include everything. After this if you start
the service, it should work.
2)
Put all the classpath in a file called C:/temp/foo.tmp (since classpath is
long)
Invoke beasvc.exe with cmdLine set as
-cmdLine:... -classpath "@C:/temp/foo.tmp ...
Since jvm pulls the classpath from the file, this should also solve your
problem.
Sun VM's support this feature as of 1.2 and above.

Weblogic Startup Class does not run as Windows Service

If you know the answer, plase send me an email at [email protected]
I'm running a weblogic startup class that starts a Thread. I need to
run a batch program that should be running as long as WebLogic is
running (to process new orders).
It works fine when I run WebLogic (5.1 SP8) from a script, but causes
problem when I'm running it as a Windows Service. It calls the
startup class, however, the startup class never spawns the Thread
class.
Following is excerpts from different components:
=============================================================
*** weblogic.properties ***
weblogic.system.startupClass.pdfCreatorStart=WebLogicStartupPdfCreator
*** WebLogicStartupPdfCreator.java ***
public class WebLogicStartupPdfCreator implements T3StartupDef {
public String startup(String name, Hashtable args) throws
Exception {
Thread t = new ProductionPdfBatchRunner();
t.start();
return "success";
*** ProductionPdfBatchRunner.java ***
public class ProductionPdfBatchRunner extends Thread {
public void run() {
try {
//work being done here
this.sleep(30000);
catch (InterruptedException ie) {
catch(Exception e) {
e.printStackTrace();
=============================================================
Thanks for any help

Hi,
Ok. Few suggestions.
1. Can you review the SAP note:
552286 Troubleshooting for the SAP Web Dispatcher
2. When you said: "web dispatcher does not get started ", what error you got ? Can you be more details here ?
3. Please check the trace file dev_webdisp" that generated in the work directory. If the log entries is not abvious, increase the trace level to 2 or 3, and reproduce and re-check the trace file.
4. What is the output of the command "sapwebdisp -v"
5. How about sapwebdisp.pfl ? Are those settings correct ?
Hope this helps.

Vincent
