History of iTunes Store music previews
Hi, Is there any way to save iTunes Store music/video preview history on my Macintosh Music Library? I am developing one Mac application to save the history of played music/video by user(including music/video previews). But I observed iTunes Store is not saving music/video preview history of Anonymous user. How to save the iTunes store music/video preview history programmatically into Mac Music Library? Is it possible ? Thanks and Regards, Madhavi G. ___ Cocoa-dev mailing list (Cocoa-dev@lists.apple.com) Please do not post admin requests or moderator comments to the list.

Re: iTune Plist changes from NSUserdefaults
I am developing a daemon which runs as root, so I wanted to change the user defaults from the daemon. Now I got it, It is not possible with NSUserdefaults. So I found another way to do that. I created another application which is called by this daemon and the application will do the job what exactly I want. Thank you so much for your reply again :) Thanks and Regards, Madhavi G.

iTune Plist changes from NSUserdefaults
Hi, I am developing one MAC application to change iTunes Parental control setting programmatically. I am using NSUserdefaults class to achieve above. Please find the sample code. #define kBundleIdentifier @"com.apple.iTunes" NSAutoreleasePool * pool = [[NSAutoreleasePool alloc] init]; NSUserDefaults *defaults = [NSUserDefaults standardUserDefaults]; NSDictionary *defaultPreferences1 = [defaults persistentDomainForName: kBundleIdentifier]; [defaults synchronize]; NSMutableDictionary *mprefs = [defaultPreferences1 mutableCopy]; [mprefs setValue:@"YES" forKey:@"restrictExplicit"]; [mprefs setValue:@"YES" forKey:@"restrictMovies"]; [mprefs setValue:@"200" forKey:@"moviesLimit"]; [mprefs setValue:@"YES" forKey:@"restrictTVShows"]; [mprefs setValue:@"400" forKey:@"tvShowsLimit"]; [mprefs setValue:@"YES" forKey:@"restrictGames"]; [mprefs setValue:@"200" forKey:@"gamesLimit"]; [defaults removePersistentDomainForName:kBundleIdentifier]; [defaults synchronize]; //Adding modified Prefs [defaults setPersistentDomain:mprefs forName:kBundleIdentifier]; [defaults synchronize]; I have a daemon running as root user.But root user unable to set the iTunes preferences. When I run the above code as login user then the iTune parent control settings got changed. Please let me know what I am missing here. Why I am not able to change these settings as root user. I tried one more method also: NSString *usrPlistPath = @"/Users/madhavi/Library/Preferences/com.apple.iTunes.plist"; NSLog(@"Madhavi usrPlistPath is %@", usrPlistPath); NSDictionary *defaultPreferences = [NSDictionary dictionaryWithContentsOfFile:usrPlistPath]; [defaults registerDefaults:defaultPreferences]; [defaults synchronize]; [defaults setBool:YES forKey:@"restrictExplicit"]; [defaults setBool:YES forKey:@"restrictMovies"]; [defaults setBool:YES forKey:@"restrictTVShows"]; [defaults setBool:YES forKey:@"restrictGames"]; [defaults setInteger:200 forKey:@"moviesLimit"]; [defaults setInteger:400 forKey:@"tvShowsLimit"]; [defaults setInteger:200 forKey:@"gamesLimit"]; [defaults synchronize]; With the above code I am able to create Userdefaults as root user, but these values are not reflecting in plist. so that iTune preferences also not getting changed. It would be helpful to me if you provide any clue on above. How to change iTunes plist using NSUserdefaults as root user.(Because I don't want to change plist file directly) Please suggest me on this.
