thanks for the input a little over my head never come across lms before

the solution i found was to bypass the need for logitech media server  by changing a the settings on local server

http://localhost:9000/settings/index.html

and in the itunes media folder browsing to my itunes folder . most other settings can be changed here as well

can now play itunes music on squeezebox boom now i will see if it still works after uninstalling media server so i dont get those

anoying alert box warnings from media server

i am also willing to try your idea out as well as soon as i find the lms program to download

You are ALREADY running LMS on your computer.  when you go to

http://localhost:9000/settings/index.html

you are simply going straight to the LMS settings (which you wouldn't see if LMS is not running).  To get to LMS directly, you'd go to:

http://localhost:9000/

(and to then get to SETTINGS, you'd click on the settings button at the lower right hand side of the LMS webGUI.

and in general, you can always install latest LMS from here:

http://www.mysqueezebox.com/index/Home

left side under my music, there is a link for download logitech media server (LMS).

All versions (new and old) are available here:

http://downloads.slimdevices.com/

[garymc]

and to get to the LMS settings or controls from any OTHER computer on your local network (other than the one the LMS is actually running on), you simply enter this in a browser on that other computer:

http://192.168.1.18:9000/

except replace 192.168.1.18 with the IP address of the computer actually running LMS.

Sorry a bit slow on the abbreviation side I am not able to download LMS 7.7.2 file not found error and my only way to access the settings is the back way as I can't open the lms system prefs pane its this stuff I don't understand and how it helps with opening Lms thanks again

but which LMS are you running? in the SETTINGS webpage (which you can get to), click on the information TAB. Look at very top of that page. Does it say 7.71. or 7.7.2

[garymc]

and can you download 7.7.2 from here? (pick Mac version if running Mac)

I am using LMS 7.7.1 have tried squeezebox 7.6.1 as well witch works on my old g5 Mac running tiger

not able to download 7.7.2 on that link either

I first got the alert box      to use the " logitech media server " preference pane must quit and reopen

. and it does nothing

I first got that alert box when I used LMS on new Mac with 10.7.x flip4mac had the same alert box I rang apple they were unable to help then a few weeks later a Mac update fixed the problem for both apps

then after another update LMS is the only one giving me the alert box so it seems like a software conflict if that's the word for it
