Headings and labels in iTunes screens truncate...
Hopefully these screen shots show the problem...headings and on-screen descriptions of features are truncated, with sentences or keywords being cut off followed by "..."
In the above example, observe the itune DJ screen, and the words "Always in con..." next to one icon, then "Make a requ..." in the other.
Below when my iPad is attached, in this instance the Music Tab screen shows truncated labels again, "Sync Mu..." and "Include music vi..."
I'd love to know what they want to include...but I can't read it!
Changing screen resolution doesn't help either.
Using iTunes 10.5.3.3 on Windows 7 SP1, Dell XPS with 20" Dell ST2420L analog monitor, NVidia GeForce GT530 graphics card.
Any suggestions would be appreciated.

If it is set to anything larger, iTunes 10 handles this in a clumsy manner of just truncating the text labels and other application GUI anomalies.
If not, try starting iTunes in Safe mode (Hold Shift and Control when launching iTunes) and testing in a new user account.

My iPhone 4 Randomly cut off and "connect to itunes" screen appeared
I was using twitter on my phone (EchoPhone) and then my phone cut off. It would not turn back on when I pushed the power button. I went to the car and plugged into the car charger and the connect to itunes screen appeared. This has happened to 3 people I know in the past week.
See if this article is of some help:

Try this,
Close your iTunes.
Go to command Prompt (START/ALL PROGRAMS/ACCESSORIRS). Right mouse click Command Prompt and select "Run as Administrator" from the menu.
In the DOS screen, type in
netsh winsock reset
Hit ENTER key. It will ask you to restart computer.
Restart and launch iTunes again -
Clean Install of Windows 7 x64 and install of iTunes 10.5.2.11
I am having a problem with iTunes in that any time I click on a folder anywhere on my PC labeled iTunes it will launch iTunes. I also can not close iTunes if I have any folder named iTunes opened because iTunes will keep re-launching itself.
This can be reproduced even by creating a new folder on my desktop with nothing in it and labeling it iTunes. Once the folder is created I can click to open it and itunes will launch.
I have tried disabling iTiunes helper in my processes but it will still launch itunes.
I have also completely uninstalled iTunes and all Apple software including bonjur and deleted all remaining folders as well under both app data and my music.
Reinstalling the software yielded the same problem.
Any help on this would be appreciated.Hmm, I'm not familiar with Process Control. Google showed it to be a Win2K server utility.
Is it part of the SysInternal tools, now named Process Monitor?
If this is a new setup with not much else on the PC, you're right - it might be faster to just reinstall W7. But, it was a clean install before and this happened -- so it might do the same thing. Yikes.
Had a look at task manager > process tab again. In the Command Line column there are only a few programs that have this -Embedding switch. Flash, Windows Live email & WMP. Not sure where they are getting it from, as a registry search on "embedding" yielded nothing.
This vaguely reminds me of an old problem where itunes would take over all the PC icons
https://discussions.apple.com/thread/2397675?start=0&tstart=0
but not exactly, itunes is starting in your case and not taking over all your desktop icons. The fix for that I think, was to restore file associations as described here
http://www.sevenforums.com/tutorials/19449-default-file-type-associations-restor e.html
It working OK in safe mode is probably a huge clue, but nothing comes to mind as to why.
Did you try installing from a different windows admin user account? Did that do anything different?
Well, if you reinstall windows, remember to deauthorize itunes before you do it. -
The guy at the Apple store said "Now thats a Brick" "I've never seen or heard of one this bad!"
I bought the phone with little to no info on it. I was told that it froze after several failed attempts at loading IOS 6.
Now... It will only turn on if plugged into wall, it will show black, then apple, then "connect to itunes" screen and thats it. As soon as I unplug, it dies. If I try power off, it turns back on and freezes in same place. Reset, same. And unabale to Factory restore cuz I cant unplug from wall. Im asuming its in dfu, nothing works.
When connected to USB,no power, no response from pc (win xp) or Itunes. Although... I swear I heard pc beap once as though it "found new hardware" but on inspection, Nothing.
My theories: 1) Battery is hooped. ( but I was told it worked fine a month ago) The longest I have had it charging is 4hrs and i died as soon as removed.
2) VCC conductor. Would explain USB issue.
3) The phone was "jailbroke" and IOS6 did not like that. Isnt there programs to reverse this?
4) IOS6 interupted, then phone got factory restored. Is it possible there is No "OS" on it?
I never touched an Iphone untill 2 days ago, and I have read and tried every troubshooting solution I could find. If I can fix this I'll be an expert!

IPhone 4s not recognized by windows 8 after updating iOS and stuck on "connect to itunes" screen
I tried updating the iOS on my iPhone4s and now it is stuck on the connect to itunes screen. It also doesn't show up in the devices folder of my computer (windows8.1) but makes the notification sound when connected to a usb port. It also isn't recognized by itunes, but that's probably because the computer doesn't connect to it either.
I've tried reinstalling iTunes multiple times, updating the driver for the usb port, and pressing the sleep/home buttons as i connect it but nothing has worked and I'm still stuck on the connect to itunes screen.
Also, every now and then, the iphone screen blacks out and the disconnected from computer sound plays, then a second later connects againHello, chipperp.

iPad Air 7.0.4 (no jailbreak)A few more suggestions.....
Have you tried deleting the app by going to Settings>General>Usage>Storage. Tap the arrow next to the app name and then tap Delete App in the next screen?
Another thing that you can try is to sign out of your account, restart the iPad, then sign in again. Settings>iTunes & App Stores. Tap your ID and sign out. Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button. Go back to Settings>iTunes & App Stores>Apple ID. Sign in again. See if you can resume the download.
Turn WiFi off in Settings>WiFi>Off. Restart the iPad as described above. Go back to Settings>WiFi>On. See if the download will resume.
You could also try resetting your router by unplugging it from power for about 30 seconds and then plug it in again. After the router resets, try to resume the download. -
How can you watch itunes purchased movies on apple tv. A click on to movies then into purchase thn a click on a movie i want to watch then my apple tv box light starts going on and off plus the screen is blank

Really? I need to check that out!
You should certainly be able to add content by reference to itunes from such a disk (even before the update) - so long as itunes knows the location of the file (set Preferences not to copy to local library when adding the media) it will stream it to AppleTV if the disk is available.
I hope you're right, but I'd be surprised if current Extremes can be upgarded to provide a full Home Sharing service - marvellous if they can but I'd be surprised as i've long said we need an Apple media server either based on TC or AE to do this kind of thing.

My ipod touch 4th gen was given to me by a friend. It worked fine until it got the recent update ios6. when i went to install it gave me a black screen that had the connect to itunes symbol.I plugged it in and it instantly told me to restore my ipod. All i want to do is be able to use my ipod again so i said yes. Half way through each time it tells me there is an error something is not connected or timed out and it stops.I have tried holding down home/sleep button and rebooting but each time it brings me strait back to plug into itunes screen and does not give me slide to shut off option. I have tried plugging it into a different computer (my home and my lap top) i have plugged it into the wall. i have done everything i have seen imaginable.I tried calling apple one guy said he'd help even though it wasnt under warrenty but had to call me back and (surprise) he never did and the second before he would connect me to help said i needed to pay 20 bucks. I dont have the money to do phone service and the genius bar is an hour drive away. Is there anything i can try that i havent yet? Or a way to completely shut it down and turn it on like brand new out of the box? Im really stressing out over this because ive never had to deal with this before. Please help!!

how do I share movies/music between my computers. I have opened shared on both computers and both are on, but i am not able to drag anything from one to the other. Does anyone know where the settings button is on the bottom of the itunes screen?
Oops, I forgot a step between 7 and 8 ... before syncing the iPhone I need to explicitly send the document back to iTunes on the iPhone, or the changes won't come over at all ...
and then one more thing ... Numbers on iOS does NOT recognize a number of key features of the OSX app, such as conditional formatting ... so after editing my document on iOS and syncing it back to OSX on my Mac, all of those settings are lost (no more conditional formatting, have to do it all over again)
What am I doing wrong ? -

My ios update keeps getting stuck on the Restoring iPhone software stage. I uninstalled iTunes and reinstalled it again, but still nothing. Now I can't even use my phone as it shows the plug into iTunes screen. Please help!!!! Thanks,
A Restore first downloads a new copy of iOS to your computer. On a slow Internet connection this can take a long time. How fast is your connection? How long would you expect it to take to download 900 MB?
That's assuming nothing is interfering with the download. Some firewalls and antivirus programs will block the download or slow it down. So you should temporarily disable your security software. Security software can also block the update after the iOS download is complete. -
While trying to update my iPhone 4 to iOs6 it froze on the connect to itunes screen and i needed to do a restore. But it restored my phone to january 2011 even though i just backed my phone to my laptop up 2 weeks ago. I still have all my contacts but i lost a lot of apps and text messages. Is there any way to make it restore to my most recent back up?
I tried powering down and re-starting the iPhone (as suggested at http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1275). This seems to have cleared the "...not connected to the Internet" problem, and iOS 6.1 is now in the process of downloading.
Thanks very much for your feedback. -
how can I keep my data doing a hard recovery on my phone? I uploaded newest version and phone is stuck on a screen telling me to plug phone into computer and go to iTunes, when I do this, iTunes says my phone is in recovery and I need to restore, Can anyone please help me get my phone back without losing anything?
You shouldn't have to restore your phone to keep your data. But first press home and on button at the same time until phone shows up Apple logo an boots up normally. When the phone comes back on plug into ituens and back it up by selecting "Back Up Now". Once backed up, you can press update and install 7.1.1 and it will restore and recover all your previously backed up data. You can also press "update" and itunes will automtically back up the phoen and install 7.1.1.
