I believe you can access those settings by right-clicking on an open area of your desktop and choosing Properties, and then clicking the Settings tab.

  • How do I get the colors back in Itunes 12 sidebar icons

    Hi. I have a hard time getting used to every new itunes version with the user interface getting harder and less friendly than the previous version, probably since itunes 8 or so. I NEED colorful icons to be able to differentiate what is what in the sidebar, and I have always found a work around, since they dropped the much loved colors, in exchange for increasingly monochrome, drab Gray. There is no differentiation even in the grey, no bold letters for titles, headings, album names etc.   In  iTunes 12 however I tried changing the itunes.rsrc file in this version and it really messed my itunes up, to the point where I had to trash it and start all over with new itunes. Does anyone know how to bring the colorful icons back in iTunes 12? This is ONE of the problems, search is not working right for me either for itunes 11 or 12. I would love it if Apple could give us the option of using old Itunes, such as 8 or something similar where everything was more clearly defined and intuitive, at least for me. Thanks!

    PS I am using OSX 10.9.5

  • The latest update for Itunes is messed up.

    Hi all. I am on Windows 7. I have never had a problem with the Itunes updates until now. I did the latest update and now Itunes wont open. I get an error message saying that Itunes was installed incorrectly and MSVCR80.dll is not installed on my computer. Is the a problem with my computer?
    Should I try reinstalling itunes? Will I lose all 40gb of music? Just not sure what to do.
    Thanks everyone.

    EXACT same error msg happened to me.  I have un-installed i Tunes and Re Installed i Tunes and also Quick Time as well as re booted computer NUMEROUS times.  Only to have the SAME situation as I began with!  Help!! It all began when I updated to the latest i Tunes, just like so many others! 

  • The colors of my mac book screen are messed up

    This has been happening on and off for awhile now, but the colors of my screen are messed up. My screen currently looks like the picture attached, everything is coated in a weird dark blue color. The only way I can revert the colors back to normal is by applying small pressure to the screen.
    Any help to fix this would be greatly appreciated, thanks!

    Since the pressure to the screen trick works, that says the internal cable is getting frayed by the hinge.  That resistance on the hinge is there deliberately so you don't push it back too far.   If you do, you can damage the cable.    If the machine was opened after market, the person closing it back up may have not properly tightened the hinge joints, thus defeating the built-in resistance making you end up fraying the cables anyway.  Dropping or bumping against the hinge has the same effect if there is enough force exerted.   Hopefully none of the above has happened, in which case you may have a case for AppleCare to look at.
    Good luck!

  • Can i change the color of the iTunes 12 window?

    I'm running Win 8.1 and iTunes 12.0.1.26, although this issue has existed in earlier versions of both.  The color (gray) and shade of iTunes 12 is the same color as an inactive Win 8 window.  When iTunes is active and on top, its edges blend right into any underlying inactive windows.  Is there a way iTunes can be given the same type of 'frame' color or perhaps a different, more contrasting color scheme when it is active and on top?

    This sounds like one for iTunes Feedback.

  • With the new updates for iTunes, I can no longer print a CD case playlist when I burn a CD.  It prints in a jumbled mess.  I have reinstalled, updated, run diagnostics on my NEW printer, I am out of ideas!

    With the new updates for iTunes, I can no longer print a CD case playlist when I burn a CD.  It prints in a jumbled mess.  I have reinstalled, updated, run diagnostics on my NEW printer, I am out of ideas!

    It appears to be a bug with the current build. Hopefully it will be fixed in the next release.

  • HT1711 At the bottom of the itunes main page, the colored bar graph indicates what amount of media i have on my iphone.  What does"other" stand for?!

    can anyone tell me at the bottom of the itunes main screen, on the color graph what does "other' mean?

    It is whatever does not fit in the remaining categories.
    Could be app data, contacts, calendars, favorites, recents, etc

  • I just got the Itunes update. So frustrating. I will be trying methods on this forum to save my library and re-install the older version of ITunes. What was Apple thinking when they developed and released this mess?

    Apple is more likely to see your comments if you send feedback via:

    =Downgrading from iTunes 11 to iTunes 10.7=
    You may be able to go back with Time Machine but this may involve restoring other items too (https://discussions.apple.com/message/20441404).  Alternatively:
    Back up your computer first, in case the unexpected happens.
    Quit iTunes.
    Get iTunes 10.7 from http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1576 or the direct download link at:  http://appldnld.apple.com/iTunes10/041-7195.20120912.d3uzQ/iTunes10.7.dmg
    Do a few preparatory steps by making sure all iTunes components are not running and cleaning old files.   See https://discussions.apple.com/message/20475394.  Do steps 3 and 4.  Steps 6-8 may be also useful but I don't know if they are essential.  Some of the other steps are not necessary, duplicate steps listed later in my post or are perhaps even unhelpful in the process.
    Replace the iTunes 11 application with iTunes 10.7.  Simply dragging the application to the trash may not work. Lion (OSX 10.7) and newer systems have iTunes integrated into the operating system and deleting is a bit more involved.  Two ways to do this are:
    1.  Use the shareware Pacifist utility (http://www.charlessoft.com/) to install iTunes 10.7 including all associated system files. Details at http://forums.macrumors.com/showpost.php?p=16400819&postcount=6
    2. Check this reference on how to delete the iTunes application itself:
        Delete iTunes in Mac OS X 10.7 Lion - http://osxdaily.com/2011/09/13/delete-itunes-in-mac-os-x-10-7-lion/
        After deleting the application there may be other files that need downgrading too. See the note about error -42408 at the end of this post. You may want to tuck these away somewhere safe until you have completed the installation of iTunes 10.7.  I have not tested this but ideally if newer versions are not found then the installer will put in the old versions. This may include these files in /System/Library/PrivateFrameworks/ which apparently get updated by iTunes 11:
    AirTrafficHost.framework
    CoreFP.framework
    DeviceLink.framework
    iTunesAccess.framework
    MobileDevice.framework
    After doing one of the two procedures above you will have to rescue the most recent old iTunes library from your iTunes > Previous Libraries folder. Rename it "iTunes Library.itl"  and replace the existing one in the iTunes folder. A newer version of iTunes irreversibly updates your library file so you have to replace it with the old one or you will get an error message. Note, this will revert your library to the version at the time of the upgrade and you will have to update any changes made since.  See:
    https://discussions.apple.com/message/20401436 - turingtest2 11/2012 post on rebuilding empty/corrupt library from previous iTunes library file after upgrade/crash.

    Alternatively, check https://discussions.apple.com/message/20441424 which requires you have a Time Machine backup (though possibly if you remove the newer version of these files old ones may be installed with the iTunes 10.7 installer - untested).  A  variant of this is at: https://discussions.apple.com/message/20448184

  • My ipads screen is shakey and the colors are messed up

    my ipads screen is shakey and the colors are messed up

    If the device screen looks inverted, try triple tapping your home button.  OR, you could tap settings, general, accessibility, and make sure invert colors is off.  Not sure what you mean about the screen being shaky, unless you tapped too long on the screen, and the icons are wiggling.  In which case tapping the home button will resolve that as well.

  • IPhoto is totally messing up the color of photos!

    the issue:
    - I import from my camera to iPhoto
    - drag photo to the desktop
    - open and edit photo in Photoshop (and save it)
    - drag the new version into iPhoto
    While in Photoshop it looks fine and it also looks fine when I upload it to the web, but when I add it to iPhoto the color is all crazy... specifically the reds are exploding out of control!
    Any fix for this?

    Joseph,
    Colors on computer is a NASTY complicated subject. Please don't balk at people for not wanting tread. That said: There are 3 preferences that are affecting the colors you see on screen (and in print outs). (iPhoto, Photoshop, System Prefs)
    1. First check your settings within iPhoto
    Go to Preferences> Advanced
    you will probably see the checkbox enabled for 'Add ColorSync profile'
    (i assume this embeds whatever profile is chosen within System Preferences>Displays>Color)
    You probably want to leave this as is if you've been satisfied with your screen appearance and printouts.
    NEXT the Nasty part:
    Launch photoshop: You need to mess with "Color Settings" within Photoshop to avoid this color conversion.
    (the command is under Photoshop>Color Settings...)
    ASSUMING here your camera or iPhoto has already embedded a color profile…
    Within Photoshop>Color Settings:
    Under Color Management Policies be sure it's set to
    'Preserve Embedded Profiles'
    You may also wish check all the boxes that say "Ask when opening" this will alert you to missing or different profiles.
    ASIDE:
    By default all Adobe programs are set to mess with color (TRULY annoying)AND very hard to correct. Even opening the same image in Adobe programs color is inconsistent - at least as of CS 1.
    So, Unfortunately, you may need to test a few times, with different settings to see which works best.
    Try now opening/resaving a COPY of one of your iPhoto images. View it in iPhoto. If this works, your good to go.
    If that doesn't do the trick:
    You may also want to enable the Advanced Mode and change the engine to "Apple Color Sync" and intent to "Perceptual"
    ALTERNATELY: you can choose the "Color Management Off" profile from the the Settings pop-up. (unfortunately despite the title, Pshop still won't really leave color alone)
    SIDEBAR:
    You should try all this copies of your originals (Duplicate first within iPhoto)
    until you find a setting within Pshop that works.
    The bad news, I've never found a way to set things so that it doesn't mess with color at all. Maybe someone else here can pipe in.
    Good luck, if you have any joy, you should repost here to tell us what worked for you.

  • I had my Ipod nano 7Gen factory restored. Nano touch is working smooth without any song init but after i have any of the songs shifted from itune touch buttons get messed up. They don't work. Help me in over coming this issue

    I had my Ipod nano 7th Gen factory restored. Nano touch works smooth without any song in-it but after i have any of the songs shifted from itunes, touch buttons get messed up. They don't work. Help me in over coming this issue.

    Hello Rohantm,
    Thank you for the details of the issue you are experiencing with your iPod nano (7th generation) touch screen.  I recommend the following steps for the issue you described (you can skip the steps you have already tried):
    Touch screen does not accept input
    Clean the screen with a microfiber polishing cloth.
    Do not wear gloves while using the touchscreen. Do not use the touchscreen with wet hands or immediately after applying hand lotion. Moisture affects touchscreen behavior in the same manner as it affects a trackpad.
    If you have a protective plastic sheet or film on the touchscreen, try removing it, because it may be preventing the touchscreen from working properly.
    The current application may be unresponsive; try resetting iPod by pressing and holding the Sleep/Wake button and the Home buttons simultaneously for a least six seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    Sync with iTunes and restore the iPod.
    Issue not resolved
    If the issue is still not resolved, please read this information on servicing your iPod.

    over and over and it is using up memory

    Try setting up another admin user account to see if the same problem continues. If Back-to-My Mac is selected in System Preferences, the Guest account will not work. The intent is to see if it is specific to one account or a system wide problem. This account can be deleted later.
    Isolating an issue by using another user account
    If the problem is still there, try booting into the Safe Mode using your normal account.  Disconnect all peripherals except those needed for the test. Shut down the computer and then power it back up after waiting 10 seconds. Immediately after hearing the startup chime, hold down the shift key and continue to hold it until the gray Apple icon and a progress bar appear. The boot up is significantly slower than normal. This will reset some caches, forces a directory check, and disables all startup and login items, among other things. When you reboot normally, the initial reboot may be slower than normal. If the system operates normally, there may be 3rd party applications which are causing a problem. Try deleting/disabling the third party applications after a restart by using the application un-installer. For each disable/delete, you will need to restart if you don't do them all at once.

  • ITunes 10 - where's the color?

    How can I get all the colored icons back in iTunes? The new UI looks like it came from a 1940's film or something. It's awful. I want my colors back! How can I do that?

    I also agree, but it's worse than that. Some of my clients are older persons, and when they see that they will think all those items are *greyed out* . This is functionally wrong, as well as way ugly.
    But what's worse is that Apple has done this the last few releases of iTunes... removed functionality with NO WAY to bring it back. Unless you know some command line unix hacks to restore them. I've already seen a few of those popping up and iTunes 10 has only been out a few hours. Apple didn't use to behave like this.
    Another downgrade by Apple.

    okaaaaaaay ... try following the steps from this document:

    (although it's given in the context of a different problem, with different versions, it tells you what the compatibility settings should look like.)
