Apple Event: May 7th at 7 am PT

Looks like no one’s replied in a while. To start the conversation again, simply ask a new question.

iTunes 10.4 removed spacebar pause for audio playback. WHY??

Before iTunes 10.4 I could just tap the spacebar to pause and play audio, now when I tap it it jumps backwards one track. You can see that the Back button is highlighted.


Is there a workaround for this?

1.8GHz ICD iMac - 1.3GHz Mac mini - 1GHz G4 iMac, Mac OS X (10.6.4), Chrome OS, Windows 7, and Ubuntu 10 via VirtualBox.

Thanks, this was annoying the fire out of me. Indeed, not much of a "feature," and definitely not documented well enough. Yet another Apple thing I guess you should be cool enough to just know about.


Still, I appreciate that you want to bump the topic, but 100 people saying "Yeah, I'm having the same problem too and have no idea how to fix it" helps nobody, and just gets annoying.
