[...] iTunes & Media Keys Andy @ Hillhome.org Dat lijkt een beetje op het probleem dat jij hebt. Bij winamp weet ik dat je "enable global hotkeys" moet aanvinken. En misschien als je dit geinstalleerd hebt kan je eens kijken of ze daar werken. Of met mediaplayer classic. Windows media player etc Dan kan je het probleem volgens mij al gaan zoeken bij Itunes. __________________ Dell XPS M1530 ( Intel T7250 @ 2.0 Ghz | GeForce 8600m GT | 4 Gb DDR2 667 Mhz | Vista Ultimate 32bit ) Macro-server ( Intel Pentium 4 Northwood @ 2.4 Ghz | 768 Mb DDR 133 Mhz | Windows Server 2003 ) [...]

Thank you so much! This worked like a charm, on my Dell XPS with Vista Home Premium and iTunes 7.6.2.9.

Great! Thanks a bunch! I was playing a computer game, and couldn’t really reach Ctrl+Alt+S to change song.

Thank GOD for you and this discovery! It works great on my Toshiba Satellite P305D-S8818 running Vista Home Premium and iTunes 7.6.2.9.

I was SO disappointed to learn that Toshiba’s utility couldn’t do this with anything other than WMP.

Whew!!!

ps – Don’t know if it was mentioned, but I stuck a shortcut to iTunesKeys.exe in my startup directory.

Thank you so much for this! I play World of Warcraft and Guild Wars (online video games), and when I’m playing alone I perfer to listen to music. It was annoying, at the least, to need to switch to iTunes to change the song (or pause it when needed). This is exactly what I needed.

THANK YOU.

Had been using Multi-Plugin, but it hadn’t been updated in forever (I think the last release was for iTunes 7.0.2)… It’s nice to have a fix that isn’t version-dependent!

Great work, media keys have been bugging me for months!

Running a Dell XPSM1330 2.2Ghz with Vista Ultimate 32-bit, and the iTunesKeys works perfectly.

Thanks

Love the idea of this but I get an error every time on my system. I make sure iTunes is running first, then start iTunesKeys.exe (have downloaded a few times and tried it in my documents folder and in program files). It starts up fine but when I push a media key I get the following error every time:
———-
iTunesKeys.exe – Common Language Runtime Debugging Services

Application has generated an exception that could not be handled.

Process id=0xa04 (2564), Thread id=0×11ac (4524).

I am running Windows Vista Ultimate 32-bit on a Toshiba Satellite A130 laptop, iTunes version 7.6.1.9.

This is a nice program. Thank you for sharing your work. Maybe I’m being picky but it seems to be a little slow to respond on my computer (around 1 sec). Any ideas. Running it on a Dell Precision M90.

that was so easy! thank you for this amazingly simple and effective program. I’m using the new Dell Inspiron 531s just in case you were keeping track of that stuff.

Dear Andy,

After downloading your programs, I thought that this wouldn’t work. But I was wrong.

I just got a G-15 keyboard, and it works beautifully. Thanks.

I downloaded them, put the in the same dir, but when I click iTunesKeys it gives me an error saying failed to initialize. I have tried to re download it, and I do open iTunes first. Any help would be great, thank you.

Thanks for this program ts small and quite memory intensive for such a small program but who cares it works. For people having problems try re-downloading the files. I cut and pasted the files into the itunes folder coz it seemed like the most logical place to put the three fles. Also follow what was written open itunes first then run ituneskeys.exe. That should do it. Also I am running vista so vista is not the cause for your problems.

Jon, to auto start make a shortcut of ituneskeys.exe and cut and paste it into the startup folder in the ‘All Programs’ menu. Also to hide the taskbar icon right click on the task bar go to properties an in there somewhere you can tell windows to always hide the icon.

Its very sad that Apple must act this way towards its PC user base just because they wish to make PC’s seem inferior.

So, I’d been using this program for a couple months, and everything was working perfectly on my XPS M1210 w/ Vista Ultimate. And then about two weeks ago it just stopped working. I get prompts to “Allow/Deny”, and the program keeps failing with error “iTunesKeys.exe – Common Language Runtime Debugging Services. Application has generated an exception that could not be handled.”

I LOVE this software, and will happily pay for the knowlegde of how to make it work for me again.

Hey! I have read all the comments and no one seems to have my problem… The tool works perfectly. Its (again!) vista comming in the way to complicate simple things.
After I run the tool, everytime I press one of the media keys Vista asks for permission to open/run a file. Even though i clicked the “dont ask again” check box (the text is something like that, you get the point) it keeps asking!
Any thougts?

Man, You realy did a great job, I was using the media buttons with itunes 6, now with itunes 7 don’t work anymore, but now with your program they works again!!

Thank you very much.

So until recently the keys worked automatically with itunes even when unfocused, but since I upgraded itunes, it wasn’t working. This program fixed it! Awesome. Thanks.

I’ve tried putting the two files and the dll in one directory however it fails to work, do you hvae a solution to this? would it be because i am using the most updated itunes?

By: Ruth Arnold

Ruth Arnold — Wed, 15 Aug 2007 07:27:51 +0000

Thank you SO much for this utility – having just upgraded to Vista I was distressed to find my G15 wouldn’t control my iTunes without it being the focus window. This simple utility restores the functionality I was used to previously
