Album List view in iTunes is black with white text

iTunes just started doing this yesterday. All other views appear normal. I uninstalled and reinstalled iTunes and the problem persists. Anyone have the same problem?

Odd, my iTunes has done the same thing.
I've had a look through all preferances and setting and can't find how to change it back ???
MacBook Pro, Mac OS X 10.7.1

Why is the toolbar in safari now black with white text after upgrading ipad 2 to ios7?

My (retired) mum downloaded ios7 onto her ipad 2 yesterday but is now complaining that when she launchez Safari and uses google, the toolbar at the top of the screen is black with white text. She remembers something popping up during upgrade in the left of her screen about Privacy (?) which she clicked. Is there any way to return the tool/menu bar to its standard white with black text? Thanks.

Tap the blue + sign in the upper right part of the toolbar. That will open a new tab with Favorites on the screen, if she has favorites in Safari. In the lower left corner she will see the word Private. Tap that to return to normal viewing mode again.

How do I get back album list view in iTunes 11?

I want it to look like this
http://www.apple.com/itunes/inside-itunes/2010/09/new-album-list-view-option-in- itunes-10.html
But I can't seem to find a way now

This is what I want it to look like in EvilGnome's post. Is there a way?
Ignatia: Putting it on Songs tab then clicking on "Album" doesnt work as theres no resulting window that appears with album art and tracks after clicking on the Songs tab....its just a long list of track titles.
Basically i want the songs in text format but seperated by the album art to the left. like in EvilGnome's picture - not just a long list making it hard to figure out. Why Apple would even remove this option god knows....
Don't fix something that ain't broke.
Currently it looks like this using the songs tab in iTunes 11....no album art anymore
I want it to look like the pic below (pic from evilgnome's post and how i was using itunes previously):

Black background with white text?

Just installed the trial and am trying to figure out how to get ALL the windows to be black with white text. In prefs I can set the main viewer and filmstrip to black but all others remain gray. I've seen all kinds of screenshots fro Apple so I know it can be done. I did check through the PDF help but didn't see anything there (unless I'm just missing it). TIA.

Hi cbrew,
There are a few options that may be considered here, so I will give brief details of the ones I am thinking could help.
The OS itself may have options that help, and you may as you have tried select to use chosen settings but these simple solutions are often unsatisfactory.
I note [[Accessibility#w_using-a-high-contrast-theme]]#w_using-a-high-contrast-theme says:
Using a High Contrast Theme
Firefox automatically detects if you are using a High Contrast theme and displays everything in your high contrast color scheme. This overrides all other other browser or web page settings, and it affects the Firefox interface itself (all menus, windows, and dialog boxes) and the content of any web page you visit.
That may well be worthwhile trying as an alternative to simply changing font size and colour.
THIS MAYBE THE BEST IDEA<br/>
'''There is a popular add on called No Squint, it takes quite a bit of setting up to work properly but it is very powerful. '''

* read also support note https://urandom.ca/nosquint/
Additionally it is possible to change settings that includes the Firefox User Interface, it is fiddly, and will probably only be worthwhile if using No Squint. It involves setting the preference ''layout.css.devPixelsPerPx''

Is it possible in iTunes 11 to get the old album list view, with covers and track listings like in 10?

Is it possible in iTunes 11 to get the old album list view, with covers and track listings like in 10?
If not, then to me that is a huge retrograde step

No, the old album list view is not an option in iTunes 11...
You can restore much of the look & feel of the previous version with these shortcuts:
ALT to temporarily display the menu bar
CTRL+B to show or hide the menu bar
CTRL+S to show or hide the sidebar
CTRL+/ to show or hide the status bar (won't hide for me on Win XP)
Click the magnifying glass top right and untick Search Entire Library to restore the old search behaviour
Use View > Hide <Media Kind> in the cloud or Edit > Preferences > Store and untick Show iTunes in the cloud purchases to hide the cloud items. The second method eliminates the cloud status column (and may let iTunes start up more quickly)
If you don't like having different coloured background & text in the Album view use Edit > Preferences > General and untick Use custom colours for open albums, movies, etc.
If you still feel the need to roll back to iTunes 10.7 first download a copy of the 32 bit installer or 64 bit installer as appropriate, uninstall iTunes and supporting software, i.e. Apple Application Support & Apple Mobile Device Support. Reboot. Restore the pre-upgrade version of your library database as per the diagram below, then install iTunes 10.7.
See iTunes Folder Watch for a tool to scan the media folder and catch up with any changes made since the backup file was created.

"An Album List" View in ""Purchased on iPhone" Playlist

I just found out that "a album list" view button (2nd button from the left of 4 buttons) located upper right corner is not available with "Purchased on iPhone" playlist. It is available within a regular "Purchased" playlist. Does anyone have the same issue?

Weird, I see the same thing, though I'm pretty sure it wasn't there in the first build of iTunes 10, not that I visit that playlist often. I suspect this is a new fault feature. I can't see any point in the restiction so it may be unintended. Time to use iTunes Feedback methinks.

Changes to list view in iTunes 8

I've noticed some changes to the list view in iTunes 8, which in my personal opinion, means it doesn't look as good as in previous versions.
For example, in previous versions there was a little gap between albums, there are now all bunched up together, and I feel it just makes the screen look a bit cramped. I'd prefer an option to have it looking like it used to.
There are also changes to the artwork column. The shadow for album artwork has been removed. The font for artist and title has been made bigger, there is also a grey background which I don't remember being there before.
I realise these are only minor points compared to some of the issues some people have been having with iTunes 8, but given how much attention Apple normally pays to having attractive GUIs, I feel these changes are a step back.
Does anyone else feel some of these changes should be reversed, or is just me?

I agree with you that the lack of gaps between albums makes it more difficult to pick each one out in the list, as does the uninterrupted repetition of the alternately coloured row background.
I guess this is a side-effect of making artwork display in list view optional. I too prefer the previous approach.

Sort order when using "Album by Artist/Year" album list view

In iTunes 10, I seem to have lost the sorting I've been using for the past 5 years at least. I use the "Album List" view, and have the album artwork showing to the left of the songs. I see the new "Album by Artist/Year" sort option in the album artwork column, and that is how I would like it to sort. However, now the album are arranged by artist, and within the artist by the year they were released as tagged in the info for each song. I want the newest albums at the top, and I cannot figure out how to make it sort that way. What do I need to do? Basically I want it in descending order by release date, but still sorted by album.

It could simply be a weakness is the way this was all designed. If you look at the information Gracenote uses, it's not unusual for all tracks on a 60's compilation album to be incorrectly listed as the same year, often the year the compilation was released. The same thing tends to happen with re-issued albums. That's down to whoever inputs the information into Gracenote for that album, often a bored record company employee.
First of all, you could try changing the year for each documentary to the year the album was produced and see if that fixes the problem. If it does, then you have to decide how to handle it.
Accept it as it is.
Change the year for the documentary to the same year as the album and simply kid yourself that it's the correct year. (I'm not being flippant, but if the documentary is all footage from album release year, then "technically", the doumentary is from that 60's year.)
Leave the year of the documentary track blank, but put the year (2010) into the track's "Comments" field instead.
Propose a workable solution to Apple via Apple Feedback. (I am being a bit flippant now. Sorry, but you'll be in for a long wait before anything might change.)
Get Gracenote to change their text fields, get the people who input the information into Gracenote to do so correctly and then get Apple to change iTunes to recognise those changes. (Now I am being very flippant. Good luck with this one!) Oh! And hope Apple never decide to change from Gracenote to someone else!
Number 2 or 3 are probably your best bet.

How to Set Album list view as default

MacBook Pro 3,1
SL 10.6.7
iTunes 10.3.1
inverted-store-links
if i use the »inverted-store-links« i always get the list-view instead the before used album-list.
i think the same problem with playlists always shown in list-view by default.
maybe there is a function at com.apple.itunes.plsit to set the default view.
any other ideas are welcome.
thanks
chris

you could use this script:
Change Hidden iTunes Preferences v2.4
This application will allow you to invoke hidden iTunes preferences:
Show "Library" playlist
Changing view setting is global
Allow half-stars in ratings
Hide "Ping" buttons
Show/hide arrow links -- to either search the iTunes Store or search your library
Load complete iTunes Store preview before playing
Create playlists for purchased song collections
Play songs while importing or converting
Create file names with track number
Maintain grid view for Search results

Make Album List view default for playlists

I have my library broken up with playlists for each artist and I like to view the contents of each playlist in Album List view.
iTunes remembers when you switch to this view, but after upgrading to iTunes 10 all playlists are back to list view, and it's a pain in the *** to switch to album view (especially since they've changed the keyboard shortcut).
Does anyone know a way to set Album List as the default view? Or to switch all playlists to Album view in a group?

Same problem here. I like Artist List view the best. I cannot find a way to set the default view in iTunes 11 and it is making me NUTS!

Album list view for playlists

When I select Music (under Library) and select the Grid view, then select Artists, then double click on an artist I am presented with a list view grouped by album with album artwork on the left. I would like to get the same view for a selected playlist, but I can only get that view for specific albums or artists within the playlist. What I want is to see that album list view for every artist, album and song in the playlist. Is this possible? If not, is there some way to submit a feature request? Thanks.

Erm - use the List view?

CD cover not displaying in Album List view

A couple of my CDs cover art doesn't display in Album List view (second button from left of the 4).
However the art is definitely there. If I click any song in the CD, the art shows in the lower left, "Now Playing"
Or if I select a song and then CMD + I the art shows in Summary and in Artwork tabs just like
all my other CDs.
I own the physical CD and ripped it and imported into iTunes and then scanned the art, saved
as .jpg and then selected all the tracks, clicked CMD + I and pasted into the Artwork square in
the Info page.
I've done this same process TONS of times so I am at a loss why this is happening or how to
fix it.
Thoughts?

Its the Allman Bros live at the Fillmore. 2 CD set. I have different art and names for each.
At Fillmore East (CD1)
At Fillmore East (CD2)
and then the front cover for CD1 and a scan of the back of the CD cover for CD2, so all is different. Except the band name.
I deleted the art for each song and first imported to all the songs of each CD at one time. Each song had the art but the display of the whole CD still didn't display as before.
Deleted the art in each song one at a time, then this time Added the art to each song one at a time. Same problem. The art is 500 px at 72 dpi. I also tried saving the art as .png. Still didn't work. Ugh.
Now... you're suggesting that I trash the Album Artwork folder. Since I've imported manually about 100 CDs that iTunes didn't recognize, won't I lose all this work?
