discovered a second problem. I searched the discussions for "iTunes
COM Object", trying to find how to check that. I found a discussion
that described where your logs are located (on Windows 7 they
appear to be at c:\users(user account).beatunes\logs) When I
checked my logs, I noticed an empty log file created the first time
I installed beatunes. I have used it extensively since then, which
gave me the idea to set beatunes to always run as an administrator.
This solution applies to both Vista and Win7. Most of the Microsoft
explanations are too technical to be useful, however a short
article located at<br>
<a href=
"http://windows.microsoft.com/en-ID/windows7/How-do-I-run-an-application-once-with-a-full-administrator-access-token">
http://windows.microsoft.com/en-ID/windows7/How-do-I-run-an-applica...</a></p>
<p>describes what I did. Briefly, you locate the beatunes
short-cut, right click it, and then select properties. On the
"Shortcut" tab, click the advanced button. On the dialog that
opens, check the "run as an administrator" checkbox, and click OK.
Back on the "Shortcut" tab, click apply. If you are not logged on
as an administrator, Windows will offer you a dialog box to input
an administrator user id and password. Once this is done, beatunes
(when started with that short-cut), will always run with
administrator privileges. Once I did this, my 2.1.3 started up. I
still have not seen anything written to the log file however.</p>
<p>I will uninstall 2.1.3, install 2.1.4, use the same trick
(above) on the short-cut, and will see if beatunes starts writing
to the log file. For now, you may close this topic.</p>
<p>Thank you!</p></div>Robert Youngtag:help.beatunes.com,2009-07-24:Comment/10738062010-02-21T14:10:31Z2010-02-21T14:10:31Zbeatunes 2.1.3 is not working with new Itunes 9.0.3.15 on Win 7<div><p>Hi Robert,</p>
<p>the beaTunes 2.1 log files on Windows 7 are in
<code>c:\Users\[username]\AppData\Local\tagtraum
industries\beaTunes\logs</code> (basically parallel to the plugins
folder, <a href=
"https://beatunes.tenderapp.com/faqs/plugins/how-to-install-a-plugin">
https://beatunes.tenderapp.com/faqs/plugins/how-to-install-a-plugin</a>).<br>
The file you referring to is a leftover from beaTunes 2 and earlier
and will be removed soon.</p>

or 2.1.4<br>
still created a blank log in the old location. I am sending you
these as<br>
information only, no reply required, 2.1.4 appears to be working
fine.</p>
<p>I also figured out that if I go to the location of the actual
beatunes.exe<br>
and do the same set to administrator privileges for all user
accounts, that<br>
resolves the problem regardless of how the program is started. Any
icon or<br>
short-cut, existing or created, will run that exe, which has been
set to<br>
always run with administrator privileges. That might make the whole
"can't<br>
communicate with iTunes" issue go away.</p>

Windows 7 Premium 32-bit. After upgrading to beaTunes 2.1.4, and
restarting beaTunes, I'm informed that a newer version of beaTunes
is available -- 2.1.3 !</p>
<p>I'm attaching the screen capture of this notification.</p>
<p>Also, I'm curious as to why beaTunes doesn't automatically
uninstall the previous version afther the new version is downloaded
and before the new version is installed?</p>

<p>this is unrelated - I just had to recover the whole website from
an older version, which is why you saw that erroneous message. The
issue should be fixed by now.</p>
<p>Regarding the Windows update procedure. There is no good reason
for this, but the fact that I simply hadn't gotten to making the
installer smarter. This is on the Todo list.</p>
