Silly Question re: Play/Pause in iTunes 7

Hi everyone,
Since upgrading to iTunes 7.0.1 I've noticed that the Player seems to stay on "Play" when it gets to the end of an album or playlist rather than going to "Pause" mode. To start the next playlist after selecting it, I have to hit "Pause" and then "Play" to start it playing again.
It seemed that the previous version would go into "Pause" at the end and then I could just select my next choice and hit "Play". Am I nuts?
Thanks!

No your not nuts lol. Same thing happens to me, i would'nt worry about it

Windows 7, Microsoft Keyboard Media Keys (Play/Pause), and iTunes

I'm using Windows 7 Ultimate x64 and iTunes 9.0.1.8 with Microsoft Intellipoint 7.0 and a Microsoft Keyboard with media keys.
In previous versions of Windows, iTunes, and Intellipoint, pressing the "play/pause" key on the keyboard would play or pause iTunes -- even when iTunes wasn't the active application.
In my current setup, when iTunes is minimized, then the media keys don't control iTunes.
Is this a bug? Is there something I can do to fix the situation?
I've asked Microsoft for help, and they say it looks to be a compatibility issue with iTunes. So, now I'm asking Apple. Any suggestions would be much appreciated.

I have this same problem, but with Windows XP Pro. It MUST be a iTunes and a Microsoft IntelliType driver issue.
I JUST reinstalled my computer and loaded all new everything and the buttons worked off and on (depending on focus). I don't remember doing anything to make it work last time. The only thing I remember was installing a plug-in so my ATI Remote Wonder worked with iTunes.
I downloaded Chris's dll as suggested. Worked flawlessly. I hope Apple and/or Microsoft fix this in the next release of their software.

You will need to do it using a third-party utility such as Phone to PC. Also, see:

ITunes PLAY/PAUSE Will Not Work After 10.5.4 Install

I have just installed Leopard 10.5.4 on my iMac G5 and iTunes player will not work. When I select a song, it will show in the player window, but, PLAY/PAUSE button will not function. I have checked iTunes Prefs and see nothing there that is not correct. I am able to navigate throughout iTunes and everything seems to work as before EXCEPT Play/Pause. (Actually, I don't know about PAUSE since I cannot get PLAY to work).
???????????

Does the disk also get ejected when you are running Leopard, or only when using it for booting?
Have you looked at it physically for scratches or that dirty film some DVDs had?

How to stop the iTunes launching when play/pause is pressed? PLEASE HELP

I have a macbook pro 13 inches. When I play computer game, during an intense battle, I always accidently press the play/pause button.
Immediately, the iTunes launch, which will make my game go frozen and I would always lose the battle. This make me extremely frustrated, I have lose so many battles cause of this problem. I know that I could turn the top row of my action keys to Fn keys. That would solve my problems, right? But no. Becuase I use those keys very often. It would be awful without them. For example, the screen brightness, the mission control, the keyboard back-lit light, the volume adjust. Without all these, my mac experience would be awful. Im just wondering if there are other solution beside for turning the Fn keys on.
PLEASE HELP ME

This has fixed it for me

Is anyone else experiencing trouble playing video in itunes? Video intermittenly pauses and also plays with not audio. Video used to play fine. This problem only started since I upgraded to version 7. I have not used itunes since then because I couldn't watch anything without experiencing these problems. I was waiting for the next version to come out and hoped it would fix the problems I was having, but no such luck. I just upgraded to the latest version, version 11 and I'm still having the same problems. Anyone else having these same issues and if so, any solutions?

Difference in play/pause display on ipod vs. iTunes

I noticed the following WRT my iPod Classic vs. iTunes:
When I hit play on the iPod, in the Now Playing info window the "Play" (the triangle thing) shows up, and on hitting pause, this turns to the two vertical parallel bars.
But in iTunes, hitting Play, iTunes shows the two vertical bars, and pausing, causes the triangle to show up.
Hope I have been able to be clear on what I'm trying to say.
Is this only on my iPod, or is there any reason why these two things are different on the iPod vs. iTunes.

It's essentially a difference in what is being communicated:
o On the iPod, you're seeing +*what is currently going on*+ (triangle = playing, || = pause)
o In iTunes, you're seeing what the button will do +*if you click on it*+.
This is perfectly logical behavior, and is common among all iPods.

After updating to the new iTunes, my Play/Pause(f8), Forwad(f9) and Rewind(f7) buttons no longer work (Macbook Pro 13")

Hi,
I recently upgraded to OSX Yosmite and the new iTunes 12.
After upgrading, iTunes no longer responds to the Play/Pause, Forward & Rewind buttons on my keyboard.
I am using iTunes on a Macbook Pro 13" (non-retina version).
Any help to get these buttons to work again would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks,
Rawbex
Edit: I'm also currently re-installing iTunes on my Mac to see if that solves any of the problems I'm experiencing. This includes another issue that has appeared, where Google Play Music no longer recognizes iTunes. (Although, this separate issue will probably have to be solved by Google, not Apple).
Edit 2: Unfortunately, reinstalling iTunes did not solve or fix anything.

Hi,
I Found this post that helped me solve the same problem,
I has to do with Google Music taking over the same function keys. I uninstalled Google Music from Chrome, and now the function buttons function.
Media key: Play, Rewind and forward not working with iTunes anymore. Other keys work normally.

Mouse buttons no longer work for iTunes playback (play/pause, next, previous) after update! Help please!

When you say "mouse button", do you mean clicking on the controls in the upper left of the iTunes window or do you mean that you have special media keys on your mouse?

Using apple keyboard's default keys (play/pause, next, previous song) with iTunes on windows 7

Hi,
I'm using my apple keyboard (wired with numpad) connected to a windows 7 machine. I'd like to know if there is any way for the default iTunes keys (previous song, play/pause song and next song) to work on windows? It's very annoying to constantly alt tab to iTunes and use the arrow keys and spacebar... Also, can I link the mute, lower and higher sound buttons to the audio output?
Thanks in advance!!

Play/Pause Hot Key Opening iTunes - What's Happening?

I believe most are aware of this problem, where you press the play/pause button at the top of your keyboard and it pointlessly opens iTunes (even if Spotify is open).
I am aware of the work arounds. But are Apple going to do anything about this or is this meant to be a feature?

Have you provided feedback to Apple on how you think it should work at http://www.apple.com/feedback/?
If not they probably won't change it. These are user-to-user forums and Apple doesn't review them for feature requests.

Itunes 10 keeps launching whenever i press the "play/pause" button

since upgraded to snow leopard (amongst other painful problems) i noticed that itunes10 wants to launch every time i press the play/pause button on the keyboard.
this is very annoying. eg, i am listening to music on spotify and then want to pause the music - press pause - and then itunes launches and starts playing music. that's not what i want and is a design flaw.
any ideas how to prevent this from happening?
thanks!

Apple have put a key on the keyboard called Play / Pause it is specifically designed to operate iTunes, the same goes for the forward and reverse buttons as well.
Therefore it make sense that if someone presses the Play / Pause button that they want to operate iTunes. If iTunes is not running then it starts iTunes for you.
I use the feature a lot as it is quicker than starting iTunes via the mouse.
The software can't tell if you have accidentally pressed the button or not, just as it can't tell if you have pressed the Expose or Dashboard buttons which also take action when you press them. All I can suggest is that you type a little more carefully, especially as you know that the button with start iTunes.

Play/Pause key on Mac keyboard now Play/STOPs iTunes?

The Play/Pause key on my Mac keyboard used to Play/Pause the music. Ever since upgrading to iTunes 9.1, however, the key acts as Play/Stop, so if music is playing and I hit the key, it will STOP the music, and when I hit Play again, it won't continue from where it stopped but it will instead choose a different song in the same playlist to play. How can I fix this to revert to the previous functionality?

Weird, just realized that it only happens when using QuickSilver to select a song. Still, it didn't used to do this.

ITunes 9 right-click menu, 'get info' replaced with 'play/pause'

Why oh why have apple moved this... now when I want to quickly edit the tag of a file I'm playing or pausing... the most infuriating thing ever, almost as bad as when they decided to leave off "group compilations" on iPod classics.
Is there anyway to remove the play/pause option on right click menu's?!?

Agreed. It even is actually out of context in the right click menu, and here's why.
Example, I am playing Song A and then pause it and I want to deal with Song Z way at the bottom. If I right click Song Z and click Play, it continues playing Song A so the right click tool becomes VERY misleading.
Think about it. EVERY option in the Right-Click/Alt-Click box relates to the selected song(s) EXCEPT for the Play/Pause option. Sounds like a case of "which one of these is not like the other" you know? Therefore with the several other options of Space Bar, the Play/Pause button in the Upper Left hand corner, and the Control->PLAY, I'd say REMOVE it entirely from the right click menu since it doesn't belong.
