ITunes opens but without any text showing. Drop down menus have text but not the app itself. I have a Mac Powerbook Pro running Windows XP under Boot Camp.

Running under Windows XP, a few upgrades ago iTunes started opening without any text showing in the application. Clicking on PLAY will play music but no text shows to indicate what's playing and no text to show music library. Drop down windows show text but not the app itself.
Subsequent upgrades and reinstalls have not corrected the problem, When I run under iOS (Snow Leopard), iTunes opens with text and runs correctly.
Help!

Because I created FAT32 partition using Boot Camp tool few days ago I installed my custom copy of Windows XP with SP3, IE7 and WMP10 integrated using nLite (for WMP10 integration use RVM Integrator). I did not use Boot Camp tool this time - I just booted CD using Option key. Then I installed Boot Camp 2.0 drivers you can find on Mac Disk 1. After this I installed Boot Camp drivers 2.1 update. In Add or remove Programs I checked drivers - I uninstalled old drivers which call identical, but you can skip this. Everything works fine BTW it is better to format your partition to NTFS - you have much less disk errors, you do not waste time for disk errors scans during Windows startup, your data are much more safe. If you need NTFS write permissions use great tool Paragon NTFS for Mac OSX or open source NTFS driver.

Itunes opens, but not completely (transparent)

First, I uploaded iTunes using a CD. Then I tried downloading from the iTunes website. Both times I get the same result...
When I double-click the iTunes shortcut on my desktop, iTunes opens but not completely. Only the text becomes visible (like File Edit View...across the top. And some text toward the bottom of the program). Everything else seems to be transparent. Any help would be great.

I thinks some folks got it to work by updating the PC's DirectX stuff
Here is a post by b noir on that

Why is "erase junk mail" de-highlighted in the drop down menus. I'm not able to delete my junk mail box without doing each one individually. Simple, but please someone help with an answer. Thanks.

My daughter has had her Razr for about 9 months now. About two weeks ago she picked up her phone in the morning on her way to school when she noticed two cracks, both starting at the camera lens. One goes completely to the bottom and the other goes sharply to the side. She has never dropped it and me and my husband went over it with a fine tooth comb. We looked under a magnifying glass and could no find any reason for the glass to crack. Not one ding, scratch or bang. Our daughter really takes good care of her stuff, but we still wanted to make sure before we sent it in for repairs. Well we did and we got a reply from Motorola with a picture of the cracks saying this was customer abuse and that it is not covered under warranty. Even though they did not find any physical damage to back it up. Well I e-mailed them back and told them I did a little research and found pages of people having the same problems. Well I did not hear from them until I received a notice from Fed Ex that they were sending the phone back. NOT FIXED!!! I went to look up why and guess what there is no case open any more for the phone. It has been wiped clean. I put in the RMA # it comes back not found, I put in the ID #, the SN# and all comes back not found. Yet a day earlier all the info was there. I know there is a lot more people like me and all of you, but they just don't want to be bothered so they pay to have it fix, just to have it do it again. Unless they have found the problem and only fixing it on a customer pay only set up. I am furious and will not be recommending this phone to anyone. And to think I was considering this phone for my next up grade! NOT!!!!

Hi, I have a mac book pro running mavericks and recently tried to connect to a 3rd ten apple tv but the airplay icon is not showing up in the top bar. I then tried my girlfriends laptop running mountain lion and it showed up straight away. Any suggestions

Hi, I have a mac book pro running mavericks and recently tried to connect to a 3rd gen apple tv but the airplay icon is not showing up in the top bar. I then tried my girlfriends laptop running mountain lion and it showed up straight away. Any suggestions?

How old is the MacBook Pro? AirPlay is only supported on 2011 and newer models, due to the requirements it has in hardware for graphics acceleration.

Itunes synchronises my music files, but not the apps.

About a week ago I bought an Ipod touch. My computer recognises the Ipod and synchronises the music files on Itunes, but not the apps.

Reset the device:
Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button together for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
If that doesn't help, tap Settings > General > Reset > Reset All Settings
If that didn't help, tap Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings
You will have to re enter the Wi-Fi password.
If that doesn't help, try here > iOS: Troubleshooting Wi-Fi networks and connections
No data is lost due to a reset.

2nd week running, I received an e-mail saying a new episode of Breaking Bad is available. When I go to download its the "Inside Breaking Bad" short (which gives away spoilers - thanks Apple!) but not the episode itself. What gives?

2nd week running, I received an e-mail saying a new episode of Breaking Bad is available. When I go to download its the "Inside Breaking Bad" short (which gives away spoilers - thanks Apple!) but not the episode itself. What gives?
I've tried this on multiple products so I believe its specific to iTunes not a particular device.

Same thing here- Get the email but nothing but the Inside featurette. It's really annoying. In fact I can't even download it normally using the check for available downloads feature! Every time I do that iTunes tries to download doubles of three Walking Dead episodes I've already downloaded. I don't want what I already have, I just want the new episode.

Document library: user can see the metadata but not the file itself

Hello,
For a specific document library certain users will have the right to see the metadata but not the file itself. The only solution I can think of is using a http handler. But I don't know if I can get the user that requests the document.
Are there any other approaches to this requirement?
Can I get the username of the user that makes that request?
I guess that http handler is deployed at the Web application level - am I right?
Thank you
Christos

Nicolas, thank you for your answer.
I think this this is not a strong protection. Everybody can istall sp designer or go through UNC path, like \\myserver\documentlibray or \\myserver\lists\mylist and see the documents- and we use unc paths a lot. I don't want to get into trouble when a (wiki)
leak is made.

Make sure your Mac meets Snow Leopard's requirements here.

Reader drop-down menus have invisible content

I'm running 9.4.7 on Ubuntu 11.10. The Reader drop-down menus either have no text in them or the text is the same colour as the background. I've tried changing the Ubuntu theme but the problem remains.

Found an option to make the workaround permanent.
Run Terminal.
Paste this "cd /etc/X11/Xsession.d" (no quotes).
A edit file would open separately.
Paste this "export UBUNTU_MENUPROXY="acroread":$UBUNTU_MENUPROXY" in the Editor window.
Save the File.
Exit Terminal.
Do a fresh Login.
The menu option would appear below the Taskbar but would be working.
Tested in Ubuntu 11.10 with Reader 9.4.7

I have created a Fireworks nav bar with drop down menus. Can't get the weblinks to save.

I have been trying to add the web addresses in my Fireworks nav bar drop down menus. I can't get them to "take". I add the address, click done and some of them save and some don't. I am pulling my hair out! HELP!

the easiest way is constructing your menu with frame labels
now i have no way of knowing how you are constructing it ..so
this may not work for you ...i assume that you have created a main
button ...that has been converted into a symbol & then
duplicated to create all other buttons
okay here it goes ..i hope i dont confuse you
i will explain how to create 1 button with 4 submenu items
with the trems that i mentioned above
but iam not going to explain all the details of creating a
whole nav bar
because it just takes too much typing ...i assume you already
know this
sooo ! ...lets say this is the Portfoio button ...inside the
symbol now
create 8 layers ...the order is going from top to bottom
actions
labels
submenu Logos
submenu Illustration
submenu Animation
submenu Coolstuff ."you will name your button items how you
like" ...
main button....lets just say Portfolio !
invisible btn for main button
so now on with the hard stuff
create 20 frames ...stop action on frame 1 ...frame 9
...frame 20
on the labels layer now ....name frame1 "Closed" ...frame 10
"Open"
on the submenu Logos layer ...create a keyframe on frame 10
all frames before the 10th frame will be blank frames
repeat that for the rest of the submenu items
on the main button layer you will just place the main
Portfolio button on frame 1
& on the invisible button layer ..the inv btn is going to
be placed on frame 10
all this is iam hoping your have converted everything into1
symbol
all you need to do know is attach code to the main Portfolio
button & the invisible button
so click on the Portfolio button
on (rollOver) {
gotoAndStop("open");
invisible button
on (rollOver){
gotoAndPlay("closed");
& that should be good ...very simple !
then just repeat this process for every button that makes up
your nav bar ....& it doesn't matter if your inv buttons
overlap each other or your main nav buttons are touching each other
peace John

Click on app link goes to App Store but not the app

Since I updated to iOS 6, clicking on a direct link to an app gets me to the store but not the particular app.
Then I have to remember the exact name and search for it. In previous iOS I could get to the app directly.
This is most annoying. How do I change this behavior?

Well, it still is not working as I expected.
Sometimes, if I click on the link, it will go to the app store and produce a blank white screen.
If I go back to the link, in an email or web page, and try again, then the desired app will pop up when it goes to the app store. Sometimes the app store will just quit. Then if I go back to the store it will show the desired app.

ITunes opens but not without annoying "Corrupt File" message.

My iTunes (whether iPod is connected or not) will open, but I get an annoying message popping up and I have to check the licensing agreement each time. The message says:
"iTunes: iTunes.exe - Corrupt File
The file or directory C:\Documents and Settings...\iTunes\iTunesPrefs.xml is corrupt and unreadable. Please run the Chkdsk utility."
Besides running Chkdsk (which I don't know how to do anyway), what can I do about this? iTunes works fine once I open it, but I'm sick of seeing that message every time.
Dell Latitude D620 Windows XP

sorry to butt in Rachyl, but i don't think this is actually one of the ipod chkdsk errors. the message path for it is referencing the path to an itunes preference file:
"iTunes: iTunes.exe - Corrupt File
The file or directory C:\Documents and Settings...\iTunes\iTunesPrefs.xml
... so in this case, i think we'd better take the message at its word and run a chkdsk over the C drive.
for instructions on how to run chkdsk (and guided help if you'd prefer to run that), see this MS KB doc:
How to perform disk error checking in Windows XP

Itunes opens, but not ipod

okay...i'll try to make this clear without sounding dumb. i click on the itunes icon on the tool bar and itunes opens. fine. then i have to disconnect the usb cable and reconnect to actually get the ipod to open so I am able to add music etc. how come the ipod doesn't open automatically when itunes is launched?
help!
bunny

Itunes open, but I have to disconnect the usb cable and reconnect for the ipod 'symbol' to be seen. i checked up preference and I don't see anything to set to automatically open 'ipod' while itunes launches.
any other suggestions would be appreciated.

When I try to open Iphoto by clicking on the icon, it doesn't open but instead the App Store opens... what to do ?

I am working on a mini: when I try to open Iphoto it deviates me directly to the App Store... can't open Iphoto... any suggestions ?

What is your current iPhoto version? If you just upgraded to Mavericks, you may need to update iPhoto as well. With Mavericks you should be using iPhoto 9.5.1 for full compatibility. If your current version is iPhoto 9.x.y or later,you can update for free from the App Store; but if your iPhoto is older, you need to purchase the upgrade.

ITunes opens but without any text showing. Drop down menus have text but not the app itself. I have a Mac Powerbook Pro running Windows XP under Boot Camp.
