Using iTunes as MOH system

Hello all!
I am attempting to use iTunes as music on hold system on my phone system. I currently have a playlist created with just an internet radio station added to it.
My first question is, can I set this playlist to run continuously? At the moment it stops after so many hours and I have to go back in and hit play to get it started again.
Also, I have subscribed to a podcast. Is there a way to have the pod cast automatically added to the playlist? I would like to have the latest podcast play at certain intervals if at all possible.
I would like to have the internet radio play all day, but also allow the latest podcast play at certain times. Is there a way that is could work?

You can set up a JSK so that you can publish from one desktop instance to another pretty easily so I assume you're not asking about that.
If you want to set up your JSK to be available facing the internet, go ahead. You may have to update Tomcat's listening hostname and port properly. You'll also want to hook up a real web server. The biggest issue with the JSK though is the database. JSKs use HSQLDB as the database, in embedded mode. Persistence writes to disk are periodic and you could lose data if there is a failure. If you, for example, lose the ability to write to your hard disk (run out of file descriptors or space) you're pretty much guaranteed to lose at least some data.
But it's good for development and quick tests / troubleshooting. Keep backups.
God luck!

How do I use a NAS file system attached to my router to store iTunes purchases?

We have four Windows devices networked in our house. They all run iTunes with the same Apple ID so when any one of them has iTunes running, we can see that computer on our Apple TV. Two run Windows XP, one runs Vista Business, and the newest runs Windows 7. Upgrading all to the same Windows software is out of the question. Our NAS is hung on an "off warranty" Linksys E3000 router which communicates via USB with a 1TB NTFS formatted Western Digital hard drive. Our plan when we set up this little network, not cheaply, in our 1939 baloon construction tank of a house, was to build our library of digital images, music, and video primarily on that device. It supports a variant of Windows streaming support, but poorly. The best streaming support for our environment seems to be our ethernet connected Apple TV which is hung off the big TV in our family room, and has access to the surround sound "Home Theater" in that room. We've incrementally built up collections of photos, digitized music, and most recently educational materialsd, podcasts, etc. which threaten storage limits on a couple of default C: drives on these windows systems. iTunes, before the latest upgrades, gave us some feedback on the file system connections it established without going to the properties of the individual files, but the latest one has yet to be figured out. MP3's and photos behave fairly well, including the recently available connection between Adobe software and iTunes which magically appeared, allowing JPEG files indexed by Adobe Photoshop Elements running on the two fastest computers to show up under control on the Apple TV attached 56' Samsung screen!
Problems arose when we started trying to set things up so that purchases downloaded from the iTunes store ended up directly on the NAS, and when things downloaded to a specific iTunes library on one of the Windows boxes caused storage "issues" on that box. A bigger problem looming in the immediate future is the "housecleaning" effort which is part of my set of "new years resolutions." How do I get control of all of my collections and merge them on the NAS without duplicate files, or when, for example, we have .ACC and .MP3 versions, only the required "best" option for the specific piece of music becomes a candidate for streaming?
I envission this consolidation effort as a "once in a lifetime" effort. I'm 70, my wife is 68 and not as "technical" as I am, so documented procedures will be required.
I plan to keep this thread updated with progress and questions as this project proceeds. Links to "how to" experiences which are well documented, etc. may be appreciated by those who follow it. I plan to post progress reports and detailed issues going forward. Please help?

Step 1 - by trial and error...
So far, I have been able to create physical files containing MP3 and JPG on the NAS using the Windows XP systems to copy from shared locations on the Vista and Win7 boxes. This process has been aided by the use of a 600 GB SATA 2 capable hard drive enclosure. I first attach to Win 7 or Win Vista and reboot to see the local drive spaces formatted on the portable device. Then I copy files from the user's private directories to the public drive space. When the portable drive is wired to an XP box, I can use Windows to move the files from the portable device to the NAS without any of the more advanced file attributes being copied to the NAS. Once the files are on the NAS, I can add the new folder(s) to iTunes on any of the computers and voila, the data becomes sharable via iTunes. So far, this works for anything that I have completely purchased, or for MP3's I made from the AIC files created when I purchased alblums via iTunes.
I have three huge boxes full of vynl records I've accumulated. The ones that I've successfully digitized via a turntable attached to the sound card on one of my computers and third party software, have found their way to the NAS after being imported into iTunes and using it to bring down available album art work. In general I've been reasonably well pleased with the sound quality of digital MP3 files created this way, but the software I've been using sometimes has serious problems automatically separating individual songs from the album tracks and re-converting "one at a time" isn't very efficient.

Just want to be able to listen to iTunes on my iPad "wirelessly"

Yay!
I discovered this lovely little forum entry that solved my problem!
(Remember this is for Windows, I'm not sure if the same will work for Mac)
This is what you do:
1: Have iTunes up and plug in your iPod.
2: Hold the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons down until the iPod shuts down.
3: When the screen is blank, release the Sleep/Wake and just hold the Home button down for about 15 seconds.
4: After then, iTunes will recognize an I iPod in Recovery Mode.
5: That's when iTunes will ask you to Update/Restore your iPod.
I'm pretty sure those are the steps.
(If anything is wrong, can someone fix it, please?)
But that really does work.
The writer said that his iPod was "stuck on the apple screen, and not going anywhere after that."
That was my issue, so hopefully this will work for you!

ITunes 7.6 uses massive amounts of system memory

When playing music in iTunes 7.6 on cover flow view, I notice from watching the processes tap of Windows Task Manager, that iTunes uses about 70MB of RAM when initially opened but that with each unique album cover it displays (by clicking on different songs from the library), the memory usage increases in increments of anywhere between 4MB and 40 MB. I first noticed the problem when my synchronization program displayed an error message stating that my computer was out of virtual memory. When I looked at the processes tab of Windows Task Manager, iTunes was using over 1GB of system memory (I have 2GB). Any ideas? Thanks!

not only does it hord your memroy.... it loads down your processor as well.
someoneelse mentioned it was trying to convert video files (constantly and never stops trying), and removing the video files should help...it did help, a little... 7.6 still lags and is slowest program I have installed on my PC at the moment.

Easy,
Restart your PC, then restart your iPhone/iPad. Then once your computer reboots, connect the devices using the USB cable.
Let me know!

CD-RW drive disappears from entire system while using iTunes

I just installed a new CD-RW drive (master), removed all old CD burning software, and have installed the latest version of iTunes. I'm able to use the software without issues, Install CD's and Burn CD's, but after about 4-6 installs or burns my CD-RW drive disappears! iTunes will no longer recognize the drive and the drive no longer appears in My Computer or elsewhere.
I've tried physically reinstalling the drive and I've performed the steps in Microsoft Support Article ID 320553 repeatedly: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/320553
After following those steps and reinstalling iTunes each time, everything appears normal and I can use iTunes for about 4-6 burns/installs and then the same issue happens again.
Note, for what it's worth, I have an old CD-RW drive also installed, but as a slave that I do not use with iTunes or for anything else. It just exists.
Is this leaning toward an iTunes problem or a burner drive problem? I don't know where else to look.

b,
Well the issue happened again. Below is the DVD/CD Diagnostics. I then closed iTunes. I opened Device Manager and saw no ?'s or error messages. The D drive was missing again so this time I just tried the option "Scan for hardware changes" and it easily found the D drive and added it to the Device Manager. I then reopened iTunes and burned a CD with no problems. The plot thickens. Any clues?

HT4061 Is there any way of not using iTunes, and keeping it off my system

Can we get rid of iTunes ,,,,, and stop using it

There is no other way to put content on your iPad without using iTunes. There is 3rd party software to let you copy media content and other data, but installing and syncing apps can only be done by iTunes.

How do multiple family members use iTunes.? One account or multiple?

Hey Ajtt!
I have an article for you that can help inform you about using Apple IDs in a variety of ways:
Using your Apple ID for Apple services
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4895
Using one Apple ID for iCloud and a different Apple ID for Store Purchases
You can use different Apple IDs for iCloud and Store purchases and still get all of the benefits of iCloud. Just follow these steps:
iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch:
When you first set up your device with iOS 5 or later, enter the Apple ID you want to use with iCloud. If you skipped the setup assistant, sign in to Settings > iCloud and enter the Apple ID you’d like to use with iCloud.
In Settings > iTunes and App Stores, sign in with the Apple ID you want to use for Store purchases (including iTunes in the Cloud and iTunes Match). You may need to sign out first to change the Apple ID.
Mac:
Enter the Apple ID you want to use for iCloud in Apple () menu > System Preferences > iCloud.
Enter the Apple ID you want to use for Store purchases (including iTunes in the Cloud and iTunes Match) in Store > Sign In. In iTunes 11, you can also click iTunes Store > Quick Links: Account.
PC (Windows 8):
Enter the Apple ID you want to use for iCloud in the Control Panel. To access the iCloud Control Panel, move the pointer to the upper-right corner of the screen to show the Charms bar, click the Search charm, and then click the iCloud Control Panel on the left.
Enter the Apple ID you want to use for Store purchases (including iTunes in the Cloud and iTunes Match) in iTunes. In iTunes 10, select Store > Sign In. In iTunes 11, click iTunes Store > Quick Links: Account.
PC (Windows 7 and Vista):
Enter the Apple ID you want to use for iCloud in Control Panel > Network and Internet > iCloud.
Enter the Apple ID you want to use for Store purchases (including iTunes in the Cloud and iTunes Match) in iTunes 10 in Store > Sign In. In iTunes 11, click iTunes Store > Quick Links: Account.
Note: Once a device or computer is associated with your Apple ID for your iTunes Store account, you cannot associate that device or computer with another Apple ID for 90 days. Learn more about associating a device or computer to your Apple ID.
Thanks for using the Apple Support Communities!

Can I Use iTunes Store without Storing Bank Accounts, etc, in my Profile?

Hi
Today a fraudulent charge of $89.99 appeared on my iTunes account. This suggests that a hacker has obtained my password, and hence access to all information in my iTunes account, including credit card or Paypal account information. I can deal with having to claim refunds for fraudulent iTunes purchases, but I cannot afford to risk ID Theft, or to have my back account information in the possession of hackers.
(1) Is it possible to maintain an iTunes account that does not store bank accounts, and ideally stores no personal information other than my email address?
(2) If I can do this, I assume I'd then have to enter that information for each purchase. Will this information be expunged once the ourchase is complete? Or would it remain on the system in some form, accessible to hackers?
(3) If (1) is not possible, how do I cancel my iTunes account? There does not seem to be such an option on the iTunes Account Management screens.
Thanks,
Chris

You can remove your credit card from your account. Go into the account, click "Edit payment information" and you will see the option under credit card to click "None."
For purchasing, you can either enter the card info per transaction, or you can start using iTunes gift cards which are readily available.

I've twice tried to use iTunes match. It stalls in step 2. I've rebooted my Mac computer and still stalls. Apple's taken the $25 but not delivered the service. Can I get some personal help?

I've twice tried to use iTunes match. It stalls in step 2. I've rebooted my iMac computer and it still stalls. Apple's taken the $25 but not delivered the service. Can I get some personal help? There are 12,733 songs, a few dozen of which are not going to be in the Apple music library because they are unique to my collection. Also, some titled "Track XX" and no artist. I assume these would either not upload or else just be uploaded. But, after an overnight of step 2, the iTunes match program was still on song number 7384 or 12733 (it was on that number for over 12 hours). Looking in the music library, activating the iCloud icon and status fields, there were hundreds of songs with the status "waiting."

Well it could still be a software problem if you installed a third party program after the OS X wipe and install, because by booting into Safe Mode it disables certain functions of OS X and hardware. Check for updates or problems for all your third party software, include everything, including menulets, System Preference panes, hacks and so forth.
If you restored any sort of software from backup like TimeMachine, it likely was corrupted data and now is returned.
If the college tech support found a lot of dust clogging the rear exhaust vents behind the fans, then likely the heat damage done to the machine has already occured and can't be reversed. Video cards are usually first to go, which Safe Mode does disable the video card somewhat.
Run through this list of fixes, it's systematic in nature, also has a Hardware Test to see what's going on

Too bad this is occurring to a mere 4 year old machine, but dust will do that. Here is the culprit that Apple doesn't tell anyone about.
