Does not work for me either. This is really crap. Oh well I got a good backup media player that works with the keyboard. Winamp is good. Apple just needs to allow winamp to sync with iPod touches. Stupid Apple monopoly.


Check this thread out for the Logitech's side. http://forums.logitech.com/t5/G-Series-Gaming-Keyboards/iTunes-10-4-0-80/td-p/65 3252


PS Could someone delete my previous post? I made a mistake in it but I can't edit it.

The following solution worked for me with the G15 keyboard, Logitech Gaming Software 8.12.030, and iTunes 10.5.0.142.

That doesn't work for the G13s, however it does have the solution.


Close your Logitech Software


Open regedit and go to:


Computer\HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Logitech\LCD Software\LCDMedia\iTunes 4.5+


In the Right Hand Pane, select the ClassName REG_SZ value


Change the iTunes to iTWindow.


Close Regedit and restart your Logitech software. Run Itunes, now when you toggle through your LCD screens the Song Plaing screen will come up.

It seems Apple can't work things out with Logitech lately. First the last 10.4 update knocks out the ability to use media keys when iTunes is not the active window. That was fixed in 10.5, but then the LCD would not show media information. Now, in 10.5.1, I can see the info, but now my pause key doesn't work unless iTunes is the active window. Next/Previous, volume, and stop keys all work regardless of the active window, but the pause key seems to pause it a fraction of the second (and the G15 LCD shows it as paused for that brief time), then just continues playing. Anyone else having this issue now?

Okay i know its been ages and i was fiddling around with itunes today AND FOUND THE SOLUTION!


Just go into itunes:

1. Click the "Edit" tab

2. Click "Preferences"

3. Click "Devices"

4. "Tick" the box that says "Allow iTunes audio control from remote speakers.


Problem solved!!
it worked for me so let me know how it goes.
