iTunes update messed with my functionality

Post by Mor3bane »

Hello,

Just completed an update of iTunes to 12.7.0.166.

Now my media player skin barely functions, and when it does it ceases to do so any further.

Anyone aware of this as yet - considering the update is like as of yesterday?

Bummer. Now that clunky window is necessary. :thumbdown:

Is there any possibility of linking that post, please?

We do have a hotfix of sorts ready to go if it turns out this was not an accident. But honestly it is a kludge because Apple removed the events from iTunes that tell us when to update certain info so thus we have to constantly check if things have changed. Also it may just be that Apple is getting ready to remove external control altogether so if you are not too attached to iTunes you may want to just go elsewhere honestly.

Yep, been familiarising myself with WMP - not as versatile but it will suffice.

I am having trouble though with iTunes. I tried to rollback the upgrade with a previous version in the effort to regain functionality.

Unfortunately it backfired, and I get an error message informing me that the attempted version will not work with my Win 10 version.

So now it will not let me re-upgrade - therefore no iTunes for me phone :vomit:

I do not like Android, so my olde iPhone 4s remains my preference, but alas no more additional upgrade - if any - and no more new music :-(

Suggestions?

I tried registry cleaner, but a fix remains unidentified.


The reg cleaner did actually work. :oops:

Help there?

Wondering if there has been any development with the hotfix? :D
