Now Playing Notifications for iTunes is a cool little hidden feature on the Mac OS. You can enable it just by few command lines. Once enabled every time the song is skipped or jumps to the next or previous song a nice animated Pop up appears on the iTunes.
How to Enable iTunes Notifications :
1. Launch Terminal on your Mac
2. Copy & Paste defaults write com.apple.dock itunes-notifications -bool TRUE Hit Enter.
3. Copy & Paste defaults write com.apple.dock notification-always-show-image -bool TRUE Hit Enter.
4. Copy & paste killall Dock Hit Enter
5. Dock Will now relaunch & iTunes Notifications are now enabled.
defaults write com.apple.dock itunes-notifications -bool TRUE
defaults write com.apple.dock notification-always-show-image -bool TRUE
killall Dock
To disable Pop up just simply Run the following commands.
defaults delete com.apple.dock itunes-notifications
defaults delete com.apple.dock notification-always-show-image;killall Dock
This feature isn't working. I followed the cut and paste exactly.The dock relaunches, but nothing happens when the next song plays or if I skip a song. I restarted after doing this and still nothing. My Mac OS is 10.6.8 and iTunes is 10.1.3 (55). Can someone please tell me what I'm doing wrong? Thanks to anyone who replies.
The Current version of iTunes is 10.5.2, if your iTunes is on 10.1.3 i would suggest updating the iTunes & then try this again.
remember – to enter commands one by one.
