Thank you, this was the fix I needed to get my alarm back again, I  
also used the feedback as suggested by Kris Tilford.


Again thank you.


Have Fun

Hello to all

For years I have been using itunes as an alarm clock, with Automator I
could start itunes, select a playlist and have it wake me playing my
favourite music, after saving as an application and dropping it into
startup items.
Since updating to itunes 10 Automator doesn't recognise itunes (The
action “Get Specified iTunes Items” could not be loaded because the
application “iTunes” is the wrong version. Try upgrading the application
to version 4.6 or later.)
Has anyone come across this or could someone please offer a suggestion
(apart from going back to itunes 9) to get my itunes to act as an alarm
clock again, I miss my gentle wake up to good music.

Thanks in advance

Glen, do you have a Howto to get this done...sounds interesting.

Hello Kris

The link above will tell you how to get the Automator scripts to see  
iTunes 10.


But I use Automator to set volume to full, select a playlist then play  
itunes, save it as an application, drop it into the start-up items  
then set the Mac to Start up at whatever time I choose.


If you email me off list I will send you the 'workflow' I used, if you  
are using iTunes 10 then you will need the link above to alter 2  
Automator scripts.



Have Fun

Glen

I'd use the Provide iTunes Feedback under the iTunes menu. They may  
not be aware, and your feedback could result in a fix for the next  
iTunes update.

It is an issue with how the version is listed. There is a plist edit that fixes 
it. Google will help you find the fix.

ITunes 10 Burning

2010-09-06 Thread Norm Rowe


  
  
I downloaded iTunes 10 and now I'm getting the following when I
attempt to burn a play list. (The drive reported an error and disk
can not be burned). I get a similar error with Toast. Is something
wrong with my system? G4 with OS 10.5.8 with all the latest updates.

Have you tried burning a different disc?  It could be that the disc you're 
trying to burn has a problem.  Can you burn something through Disk Utility or 
from a Burn Folder on your desktop?  It could be that the drive has packed up.

Off topic a little bit, how are you liking iTunes 10?  I made the mistake of 
letting that abomination install on my work iMac and have since boycotted it on 
the rest of my systems (PC included).  HIDEOUS dock icon aside, I can't stand 
the sterile gray appearance of the main window.  Besides making it harder to 
find everything, I can't help staring at it and wondering who was smoking what 
at Apple.  It looks like some sort of lazy Linux program from the 90s!  Is 
there a tax on color and nice icons or something?

OkI'm off my soapbox...

Back on topic, try a different disc and see if that works.  If not, try burning 
through Disk Utility or from a Burn Folder.  Does the drive read discs 
correctly?  If all else fails, it might be time to put a new optical drive in 
it.  Fortunately they're dirt cheap nowadays if that's what it comes down to.
