Q: Auto hide taskbar not working with iTunes 10.5 & Windows 7

Yeah, ditto. Windows 64 bit, itunes 10.5. Auto-hide does not work. If I switch to any other window though it works. Only with itunes, no.

Same thing on Vista . Not sure how to fix it

Yup same problem here, precisely...Wasn't doing it in the beta versions (although I did have that bug where the coverflow section of iTunes would resize to GIANT every time you open it for a while) and now it IS doing it in the final version. Pretty irritating.

Same thing here. Win 7 x64 and just upgraded to iTunes 10.5

Restarted a couple of times and nothing. Please Fix.

Same here; very annoying

Yip, have WIN XP 32 bit and it also started happening after the last update to 10.5.0.142. Seems it's happening with all itterations of Windows. All my other applications play nicely with the taskbar but not this version of ITunes. Very annoying. Please fix.

Chiming in with the same problem. 64-bit Win 7 Professional, taskbar set to auto-hide, newest version of iTunes (actually uninstalled and reinstalled via the website download earlier today to see if that would fix it; nope). I normally use the Alt+Tab keys to navigate between windows anyway, so it's not inconveniencing me too much, but it's still irritating when I'm trying to use the mouse to switch windows (or check the time) and realize I can't. Definitely fix this one soon. We'll all be very grateful

Im having the same issue also.... just my 2c. Its wicked annoying.

Windows 7 Home 64bit w/ iTunes 10.5

Yes, I too suffer from this same annoyance. I am running windows xp, SP 3, iTunes 10.5 final version, and this is irritiating the crap outta me. I'm hating this. Anyone please have a fix for this? C'mon apple!

Just adding my voice in here.  I keep trying to move down and not getting my taskbar back is annoying.

same here, it's been making me nuts, Vista with itunes 10.5

I've done the windows strech as a work around as well, but it's still very annoying. I just started looking at these forums. Does Apple provide any input, or do they leave it to their customers to try to figure out a way around their bugs?

Glad it's not just me, but annoyed that it's happening in the first place.

I have had the same issue, along with many others.  Not pleased with the Sync at all, keep having to redo everything.
