[RESOLVED] tis-itunes package

[Yoann]

Hello,

there is a problem with the new version of the tis-itunes package.
The following error is returned: `msi file AppleApplicationSupport.msi not found in package`.

In the 64-bit package, the AppleApplicationSupport.msi is not present even though it is referenced in the `to_install_bins`.

Thank you,

Best regards.

Hello,

Yes, I noticed that too. Apple made some changes to iTunes, and I was able to modify the package accordingly and greatly improve it in the process.
The new package is available on the Store.

Best regards,
Jimmy

Hello,

package tis-itunes, when launching iTunes, a dialog box displays the following message: "The software required to communicate with iPods is not properly installed. Do you want iTunes to attempt to repair it?"

Thank you,

Best regards.

Yoann,

what type of device are you using? I don't have this problem with my iPhone.

Hello,

I don't use any devices.

I've encountered a problem installing the tis-itunes in a virtualized environment: Windows 10 Pro 64-bit and Windows 7 Pro 32-bit.
After installing the package, when launching the software, the following message appears: "The software required to communicate with iPods is not properly installed. Do you want iTunes to attempt to repair it?"
I haven't connected any devices.

Sincerely.

Hello,

You're getting this error because you're in a virtualized environment. Since iTunes is an audio media player, it displays an error because it doesn't detect a sound card on the system. This isn't a bug in the package; the machines on your network won't have this error.

Good morning,

By removing the following lines from the function installI no longer get the message when launching iTunes:

Code: Select all

    # Modifying default startup mode of Apple services
    if get_service_start_mode('Apple Mobile Device Service') != 'Manual':
        set_service_start_mode('Apple Mobile Device Service', 'Manual')
    if get_service_start_mode('iPod Service') != 'Disabled':
        set_service_start_mode('iPod Service', 'Disabled')

Sincerely

Good morning,

My mistake, I misinterpreted your error as a very similar one. Then I was also able to confirm the one you mentioned.
I'm switching the two iTunes-related services to "Manual" in the package, which should resolve the issue.

Code: Select all

    # Modifying default startup mode of Apple services
    if get_service_start_mode('Apple Mobile Device Service') != 'Manual':
        set_service_start_mode('Apple Mobile Device Service', 'Manual')
    if get_service_start_mode('iPod Service') != 'Manual':
        set_service_start_mode('iPod Service', 'Manual')

Sincerely,
Jimmy

Hello,

Yes, it does work with both services set to "Manual".

Thank you,

Best regards.
