That annoying mini-store

Ok, this is really stupid but i've been trying to find out how to get rid of that annoying little mini-store thing at the bottom of itunes, i remember it asks you when you first start downloading itunes if you want it available to you at all times at the bottom of the screen and i didn't even mean to click yes on it but it's there and soooo annoying and in the way, does anyone know how to get rid of it? like a setting you can change or something? I've been trying for the past 2 hours but I don't know heeeeeelpppp please!!

If you're in iTunes v7 you have to have the main music library showing, then itunes menu > View > Hide ministore
or just press ctl-shift-M
But you have to be in your main library, you can't be in the actual store.

  • Data Privacy: Considering to disable store for my kids to avoid mini store

    Hi,
    Is there a way to disable my children from enabling the mini store when they are operating their own library without disabling their ability to navigate the real store? Telling apple what they have in their library, what they are clicking on and perhaps playing and telling apple when they do it -- none of apples business unless I consent to it -- and I don't.
    I can fix it with training but I find it unfortunate that the mini store can be turned on by them sending information on their library content (as they click library items).
    But I do want them to be able to actively browse the store -- there they know they are out shopping AND it doesn't ask them to tell what they are playing or even just looking at in their own library. It only knows what they are browsing over.
    I am disappointed with this from Apple. Apple, watch more careful over your consumer friendly image.

    Seems like Apple has been listening... Thanks.
    Latest download does not activate this by default, however its still very easy to turn on. Also Apple has committed to not using the information uploaded to match store offerings for anything... Thanks again.

  • ITunes 7 - Turn off the mini store? Paaalease help!~

  • ITunes Mini Store

    I recently upgraded iTunes to version 6.0.2.
    The most noticeable new "feature" is an unanounced and unwanted "Mini Store," which appears at the bottom of the iTunes browser window when browsing my music library.
    I find this highly annoying since I cannot find any option for turning this feature off. In looking through the new iTunes information, all I can find by way of dealing with the situation is to "click an icon and MiniStore tucks away, ready to pop up again later when you want to explore some more" (see http://www.apple.com/itunes/playlists/). This is problematic because I don't know what is meant by "click on an icon." All I can see is that the icons on the left hand side of the browser window remove this option, but that still does not cause the Mini Store to "tuck away" so I can browse my own library in peace.
    I find this all very un-Apple-like by not providing an on/off buttton, an intrusion in my privacy, and a poor marketing scheme. I hope that forthcoming versions of iTunes will remedy the situation.
    Does anyone know how to get around this, or turn it off, or, what more precisely is meant by "clicking on an icon?"
    Thanks.

    When the MiniStore is hidden, no information is sent to whatever internet address.
    You'll have to take my word for it (checked it with Network SpyAlert).
    Don't believe all you read on this and that webpage. Those people still thinking information is sent are paranoid.
    After installing iTunes 6.0.2, you will not be prompted enabling/disabling the MiniStore. It comes enabled.
    So, if you missed that window, there's nothing wrong with your eyesight. It wasn't there.

  • Mini Store Doesn't Recommend Based On Selected Track

    I really like the Apple Mini Store and how it shows other songs or albums by the same artist that you're playing. What I can't understand is why it makes recommendations on some tracks but doesn't provide any info on others. I can't seem to find any common link to the tracks it finds and the ones it doesn't. For example, I have some tracks where I tell it to download the artwork and it finds the artwork without any problems. But when I look at the Mini Store, it's still showing the generic new release, new songs listing, not recommendations based on the song, album or artist. In fact, I can click on the arrows next to the song name and it takes me to the exact album in the store. I've made sure the spelling of everything on the track is exactly the same as iTunes has it listed but that doesn't even always work. Then there are some tracks which aren't for sale on iTunes but it shows others by the same artist and then of course I also see some that are exact matches but it's very inconsistent.
    Any ideas on why it seems to provide recommendations based on some tracks but not others?

    ... and one more thing. How do I send feedback to Apple regarding this? Previously, I found a "Feedback" page where an email could be sent to the ITunes Dept. Now , I can no longer find it, but rather a Contact iTunes Store Support page
    http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/store/browser/
    that requires me to select a category and sub-category in order to send a message. My question doesn't really fall into any of the provided Categories, and there doesn't seem to be a general questions category. Just venting. Thanks for listening. I think I'm done now.

  • The mini store is simply to much

    Hi I really like the iTunes music store , but you seem to have forgotten that iTunes is a music player first and second a Shop. This mini shop is simply to much. The links beside each music to the store, the mini store and the music store link - Why do we need three links in front of our face constantly to the music store ???? This is simply to much, normally I've deactivated the link beside each track, because i don't really need to buy it when I allready have it, I am not going to buy the same piece of music twice just because it exist on the music store. The mini store is totally to much. Normally I've keept the itunes music store icon so that i occasianlly could take a look at the new music. Now I have to remove this Icon to the music store in order to get rid of the mini store. So now I will never visit the music store, because you forced me to remove ever link to it, in order to get rid of this mini store.
    First time i opened the new version of iTunes i feelt that you only wanted me to buy, buy and buy music all the time, we'll its really simple if iTunes is nothing more than a shop which tryes to force me buy stuff all the time by displaying music all the time, then iTunes has developed to the state where it is no more than an advanced Banner - which means that i will soon find another music player, beause all this sales thing has gone to your head.
    What you should do is: By default the mini store should be deactivated, and people should be able to activate it if they want it. Personally I think that the mini shop should totally vanish as it makes the music PLAYER loose its simplicity, but if you want it in you program it's your choice.

    sdad:
    You have expressed so eloquently my reaction when I opened up the latest version of iTunes. I don't want to buy music, I want to play music.
    I spent several minutes trying to get rid of the eyesore. In your post you saidNow I have to remove this Icon to the music store in order to get rid of the mini store.Can you remove it? How? I would like to, if I can.
    In other Forums there were topics on the new version of iTunes messing up Disk Utility. Some posters were vowing to go back to the previous version, which seemed like a pretty good idea to me. I downloaded it and it is on my desktop ready to be installed.
    I don't know of any real enhancements to iTunes, but this blatant crass commercialism is definitely not an improvement.
    Thanks for giving me the opportunity to spout off.
    Good luck.

  • HT5035 Do itunes deduct money from your account when you redeem a voucher? I ask only because it appears to be doing exactly that to mine, and before anyne asks I was stilll £3 in credit.

    Does itunes deduct money from your account when you redeem a voucher, because it seems to hve done exactly that to mine. I had £3 credit but when i added £15 i ws left with less than £18.

    First, make sure you're logged into the iTunes Store using the account ID and password you set up, or used, when you redeemed your card/gift.  If you are, try signing out of the account and back in.
    If you're sure you are using the correct account and that you're signing in to the iTunes Store, and signing out and back in doesn't help, go to the Purchase History:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2727
    and review your purchases to make sure that you should indeed have the balance left that you think. iTunes doesn't always refresh the balance it shows, so it's possible you spent the money and it just wasn't being reflected in the display. This display error again can usually be corrected by logging out of the iTunes Store and then back in.
    If you confirm that you should have a higher balance left but the iTunes Store isn't showing it correctly, go here:
    iTunes Support
    and follow the instructions to report the issue to the iTunes Store.
    Regards.

  • I am so confused. I am thinking about buying an iPhone 4S but I want to use those card things that you can put the code in for the phone is this possible? I'm not talking about the 50$ unlimited card just the regular 20$ cards that hold mins and texts...

I'm not talking about the 50$ unlimited card just the regular 20$ cards that hold mins and texts... As long as it has the support for the service it's hooked up to?

    As far as I know there is no US cell carrier that allows pay as you go with an iPhone. You can purchase an unlocked iPhone 4S at an Apple Store and try it with a non-supported carrier.

  • Have personal Apple ID account which allows me to download apple apps but when I go to update the apps Apple ID pops up thats not mine and cannot log in to update apps.  Brand new IPAD never any other user

    Have personal Apple ID account which allows me to download apple apps but when I go to update the apps Apple ID pops up thats not mine and cannot log in to update apps.  Brand new IPAD never any other user

    Is the AppleID listed in Settings --> Store and Settings --> iCloud the same?
    If it is a totally different ID and not a slight variation of yours, I would definitely take it back to the store. You may have bought a returned item that had been setup previously.

  • How do I creat an app say games that I can store all my games under?

    HOw can I creat a master app that I can store other apps in. For example creating a master app such as games that all games would be stored under?

    Hold down on one of your games so that the apps start to shake. Drag and drop the game onto another one. Both will end up in a folder called Games.

    The pass 4 days now my iTunes Store is not responding, when I reload it all that comes up is a blank white page that says iTunes Store. Help please!!!! Cannot load my gift card to buy music and such!!!

    I tookyour suggestion and SUCCESS!  I can now access the Itunes Store.  A simple fix, and thanks so much!!.
    Below is the advice you forwarded:
    I found a solution to my problem.
    > start menu
    > accessories,
    > right click on the command prompt icon and choose "run as administrator".
    Once it opens, type in the following command...
    netsh winsock reset
    hit enter
    You should get a message that the winsock reset successful and you will need to reboot your computer.
    Reboot and when I reloaded itunes the store loaded fine.
    Thanks again, -Dean Stoneburner
