Well as previously mentioned on a post here on my blog I had issues with iTunes after a “successful upgrade” to the latest version of iTunes and this is the second time it happens.
To my pleasure I had the answer to this dilema after hours of searching, guessing, tracking and building my own solution. Now I’m gonna release it so everyone that have this problem can fix it.
First the video:
The links:
Let me know if the links are broken.
(Links fixed they had a problem)
The command prompt need to run as Administrator, I called it from the Vista search box typing cmd and then pressing CTRL+SHIFT+ENTER
This issue comes because the installer cannot access some registry keys because for some reason it does not have rights to access them.
Every time you start iTunes it tells you that windows is configuring the installation, you wait for it to end and then iTunes appears, but every program that uses the COM interface to communicate with iTunes fails. Then you exit the player and then again after you start iTunes windows tries to configure the installation…
This issue is addressed on the apple forum but no full answer is given, just some clues on what you could do. (from this forum is where I got the clues thanks to incognito3 for the hint and this post is the one with the original reset file)
the reset2.cmd is a recompilation of registry keys I found that needed the same permission fix.
So the cmd files changes the Quicktime and iTunes keys to give access to the installer user.
Run the iTunes installer as administrator doesn’t work.
Well i’ve been working on the next release of iTuny, the version 0.5, and this post is to keep you all informed.
What I’ve added and want to add.

Main config Window:

Well that’s all by now, I hope to hear your comments about this and if you have suggestions don’t hesitate to put them here too.
PD: this is a beta release of the 0.5 version for you to try and comment
download beta 2 (may 13)
download beta 1 (may 10)

After signing in dropbox to be a beta tester, today i received my invitation to join the testing of it’s services. I was really excited because of the video presentation they give on their site and how they promise the service will work.
The system is very straight forward and after downloading the dropbox client and installing it I’m presented with the linking process between dropbox and my computer. After doing this I got to the web interface, a very clean and simple interface that allows me to see my files, mi pictures, my shared folders and upload from there too.
Then my explorer got me into my documents directory in which now I have a new folder “My Dropbox” this folder is where I put stuff I want to be synced.
To test it I used my very own iTuny rar files and au3 source code, the source on the private side of my dropbox and the rar files on the public sub-folder of my dropbox.
After watching the uploading process that starts when you drop the files on the folders and a status icon appears on each file, I got my files synced. The rars have a public link:
Download: iTuny 0.4.5
Download: iTuny 0.4
Download: iTuny 0.3
Download: iTuny 0.2
Download: iTuny 0.1
The other files (source code) is on the private side so no public link and possibility for externals to download it.
The service is very simple and just works, and that’s fantastic for me.
I’ve just tested syncplicity and the only drawback i have with them is that the client doesn’t go through my company’s proxy but they are working on it as I speak. This is not a problem with dropbox. (Removed for inaccurate, see down the syncplicity review)
Right now they are working on Shared Folders this allows collaboration with others on a folder that have important files that need to be all the time actual.
A great service worth the try. 🙂 The only thing I miss about syncplicity is that the allow me to sync any folder on my system, but I can live without that.
That means it’s dropbox to me.
This is another great service for syncing your files to the web and allows you to keep them safe from computer failures.
Right now they are in beta phase as dropbox but they are not closed to beta testers.
The web interface is really neat and clean, you need flash installed as they use flex to build the file manager.
You can watch the video presentation here: Syncplicity Video
The whole experience is straight forward, you login (after being selected as a beta tester) and download the client. This client has more options and visual aids. It shows you the percentage of synchronization and how much is left with a progress bar, the desktop interface let’s you select which folders you want syncplicity to keep an eye on, this makes the proccess much more simple and pleasant.
After setting the folders I wanted, the sync progress started and depending on the amount of data you have on those directories and your Internet speed the sync finishes in minutes or hours.
You can manage deleted files in the web interface having a “restoring” option that not just returns the file to your web filemanager but to your desktop.
It also offers synchronization on your Google docs (documents and soon spread sheets) and Facebook.
The client has some drawbacks as the dropbox one, right now the client doesn’t support proxies so this means no office use in my case.
After posting the dropbox post I received communication from Ondrej Hrebicek Vice President of Product and Platform of Syncplicity and the pleasant surprise was that they are working on the proxies issue, and hope to have a firm solution to it soon.
Both services are great in it’s way, and by now both are free while in beta. dropbox is offering 2GB of storage and Syncplicity has for the beta unlimited storage.
Well, i had some serious issues with my iTunes installation, the Apple Update Software screw the iTunes-Quicktime install and I couldn’t use my own iTuny @_@ that was really annoying I got to use winamp in the mean time.
I finally fixed the iTunes thing, followed this 2 posts, and mixed them a little (recently installed Windows Live Mail and have the same issue described there)
I had an issue with QuickTime and the ActiveX control, Lucky me there is a post (number 6 to be exact) about this:

If you ever have this problems check those post, can save you a lot of wasted time… a little to late for me, but could be Just In Time for you 😀
God Bless!

Well this time 0.5 will have some bug fixes and some tuning on the already there features. I hope to have a beta some day of the next week if and only if I can get my iTunes installation running again….
By some reason when I tried to Upgrade from 7.6.0.2 to 7.6.2.9 the Apple software Updater screw the install with the whole iTunes COM interface, and now every time I try to run iTuny the system gives me an error.
I hope this can be fixed.
Will keep you informed, and if you have some issues with 0.4 check the 0.4 post on the comments, there are some answers about some common issues with using iTuny.
Have a great week.
God Bless!
Well my word was in danger if I didn’t release this before the new year arrives 😀 so here it is, Version 0.4 of iTuny the Launchy companion to control your iTunes from the confort of your keyboard.
So what’s new on this version… well 5 new features and some bug fixes from the previous version 0.3 so let’s get this straight.
New Features:
And finally but not less the feature that I love (I hope you will), the TAG feature (as suggested by Rob here at my blog).
The Tag feature let’s you do that. Tag the current playing song. By now it lets you tag the next fields:
To use it just type:
After sometime typing it you could use itag or tag and launchy will recognize this as your preferred action for that word.
Fixed Bugs:
The RAR (556k) contains:
To install it just double click the iTunes Control.exe and the installer will popout.
By some reason Avast Antivirus is giving me false positives on all autoit scripts, so don’t be fooled this script is safe, contains NO virus, trojan or any other malware. The source code is on the package for you to see.
Hope you like the changes, and comments are always welcomed.
Update: 0.4.5
This fix an issue with the Query function that in some iTunes installations returns nothing every time.
Thanks Sebastián.
Download: 0.4
Previous versions: 0.1(vbscript), 0.2(vbscript), 0.3(autoit exe)
