iTunes 10.4 & Multimedia Keyboard

Same problem here. Very frustrating when it was just working yesterday

Add me to the list with the same problem. Specifically, mine is with my Logitech SetPoint for my wireless mouse.

i am having this issue as well, i hope apple fixes this because it's a huge inconvience. is it possible to downgrade versions of itunes?

apple better fix this, its reallllllly annoying not being able to use my multimedia keys 😟

Same here. after updating, no controls for itunes when its not focused my media controls on my g15 are usless.

Same problem here. My logitech media buttons only work when Itunes is open [ not minimized to the system bar ] and in front of any other open windows 😟.

Thanks very much for the temp fix 🙂...It does really help and made my day a little bit easier 🙂

Hey guys,

I found a fix to this issue, this one worked for me, not too sure if it will for others but anyway...

To use this plugin, simply copy the mmKeys.dll file into your plugins folder.

For XP Users: “C:\Program Files\iTunes\Plug-ins”

Vista/Win7 Users: “C:\Users\your_username\AppData\Roaming\Apple Computer\iTunes\iTunes Plug-ins”

(In both cases, if the folder doesn't exist you will have to create this folder.)

DLL File: http://nachomaster.com/tutorials/mmkeys.dll

same thing is happening to me.... apple, please fix this issue!!!

I can't use the keys on my Microsoft keyboard either. I tried adding the mmkeys to my C:/Program Files/iTunes/plug-ins folder as one person indicated, but that wouldn't work for me. the HK Tunes works okay and thank you so much for the advice, but I'm hoping apple fixes this soon. None of my coworkers are tech-savvy enough to deal with this, so I'll be going around downloading the program to all the other computers. What a pain!

Same issue here. I've got a Logitech Wireless Illuminated keyboard and a Performance Mouse MX, neither of which work with iTunes anymore. mmkeys.dll and hkTunes both did not work for me.

Hi!!!

I have the same problem with a razer Lycosa Keyboard, I thought that the problem was my keaboard's driver. I tried to use mmkeys.dll but it didn't work :S.

We need a solution.

lol yea same problem, razor lycrosa here.... but hktunes and that mmkeys dont work either... hk tunes does let me change it to other buttons though just not my buttons lololol...so pointless. i wonder why it randomly died... i wonder if i can just manually delete the update by erasing random itunes system files lolol. 8D an no u cannot downgrade your itunes for some strange *** reason whenever i go back to using old itunes it just says your library has been made by a newer ver. of itunes. there fore cannot be opened... wait wait... idiot me if i just delete the library from my music folder it won't know what to to look for.... SOOOOO ill brb.

**** im good. k fixed it for realzies. no using crappy backdoor products. heres a step by step fix.

first back up your library and you playlists if you do not know how to do this. make a playlist with all of your music in it. then right click that playlist, click export. export it into .XLM format.

2. go to your control panle and get rid of itunes. (complete uninstall)

*edit* cause im dumb...delete your itunes folder from your music library. should be right in your music subfolder if your using windows 7 or vista.

3. go here and download the 10.3.1 ver. http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1103 (don't worry its actually on itunes)

4. install said program (it may ask to install newest ver. you know the answer to that lolol)

5. import your XLM playlist. if you dunno how to do this i shall show u now. go to the top of your screen where it says file. then go to the sub folder library, and then there will be another sub folder called import playlist.

now don't go downloading itunes 4 again. its crap. no difference anyways...

*side note*

there all your playlists are back and your key board works again. if your like me and have like 20 gigs in music the importing of playlists may take some time lolol.

i fixed my post just delete this one lol.. forgot about the edit buttons...
