**Help** Blank Boxes on File menu

My iTunes program plays music, burns CD's, and has all of the functions needed. However, I can not choose anything on the file menu or any menus on the top. All it shows is little square boxes. And now on the left hand side instead of showing my iPod or the library, it only has a bunch of squares??? I am able to click on the library and it works but only because I know where that option is. Please help!!
I have tried to uninstall and reinstall, restart computer, but still no display??? Any solutions would be GREATLY appreciated!! Thank you!

whether i know u cannot disable SAVE toolbar through Personalization. You do it with custom.pll.

    jdspdx,
    Welcome to Discussions.
    Probably one of the preferences files of the Help Viewer is corrupted.
    Go to /Users/YourUsername/Library/Preferences and remove these files:
    com.apple.help.plist
    com.apple.helpui.plist
    com.apple.helpviewer.plist
    Then choose the Help function of iTunes again.
    Hope this helps.

  • HT1414 When I hit restore a file menu from my computer pops up and I am not sure what file to put in to get my iphone to restore from.  I don't get the box that says are you sure you want to restore.  So how do I get it to restore so I can see if this fix

    I got a "new" iphone from the Apple store when my dog bit the phone and cracked the front.  This new phone will not play any music, ie no sound will come out.  I can watch videos with sounds but no music from any of my playlists.  I checked with Apple and was told to try to restore my iphone.  I did all the necessary prep work like backing up and syncing and then hit the restore button on the iTunes page.  A file menu icon popped up with a blank in it and I do not know what file I need to put in the window as where it needs to find a file to restore the phone.  I never got a message that said are you sure you want to restore the phone.  I need some help if anyone knows how to do this or should I just go back to the Apple store (which is over an hour away)?  Thanks

    I am syncing my iphone to my iTunes account and then I do a backup and also making sure all updates are current.  Then by going to the my phone and then going to the right and selecting the restore my iphone.

  • Print Preview is missing from Firefox 6 on Mac OSX Lion in both File Menu and Print Dialog Box

    The question says it all really. Print Preview option is missing from both the File menu and from the Print dialog box when you select Print. I use Print Preview a lot to avoid wasting paper.
    A relevant issue might be that the Mac OSX app Preview is currently having trouble with various printers including my Xerox and so, temporarily, the default application for all Preview items is now Adobe Reader until Apple get their act together. Perhaps this is affecting things?
    Thanks for any help

    It's moved to the PDF dropdown, "Open PDF in Preview"

  • All photos in I photo 5 are blank boxes!! Help!!!!

    All photos in my I photp 5 are blank boxes!! Help , whre did they go!?????
    thanks to oany one who can help.

    I have previously (and am again) experiencing the same problem as the original poster, except I am able to get the "rebuild" window when I hold down ALT and CMD while starting up iPhoto.
    The problem with "empty photos" (i.e. the frames around the photos are there, as are the keywords and filename, but the photo itself is missing). Looking inside the iPhoto folder in the Finder I see that there are lots of image files with file-lengths of zero. So the files are still there, but there's no data inside of them.
    I don't know how the original poster ended up with these empty photos, but in my case I was organizing my photos by deleting unwanted ones, creating new albums, deleting unused ones etc.
    Then all of a sudden iPhoto crashes!
    (iPhoto 5 does indeed seem to be a flaky program as this has happened to me many times when working with a couple of thousand photos or more).
    Anyway, when I opened it again the empty photos thing occured.
    I'm guessing that the empty photos are indeed the same photos I deleted from my album, but because of the crash, iPhoto hasn't updated its information and still displays the thumbnails of the images, which of course aren't there, and thus shows them as "empty" images.
    Now, I would imagine "rebuilding the database" and/or "rebuilding the thumbnails" would do the trick, but I've tried all 4 option available when you start iPhoto with ALT and CMD. Nothing solves my problem. Very frustrating.
    And whenever I do something in iPhoto the "busy beachball" shows up for 10 to 30 seconds, causing a lot of waiting.
    (To the original poster not being able to get at the options to rebuild iPhoto's files etc: what you need to do is start iPhoto, then IMMEDIATELY hold (and keep holding down) the ALT and COMMAND (Apple) keys. After a few seconds, instead of iPhoto opening up with your images you get a window with 4 rebuilding option. When you see that you can let go of the ALT and COMMAND keys).
    If I keep getting these problems and there seems to be no solution other than to dump all the images to a folder on the desktop, then create an iPhoto setup from scratch and manually import the photos followed by the huge task of keyworking them, creating the albums etc. I'm going to look elsewhere for some better working software. This just isn't satisfactory.

  • How to change/set default "box selection" in download/open file menu?

    I have set downloads option in options-general to "Always ask me where to save files". This is making a menu pop-up with option "Open with" and "Save file" every time I want to download something, and thats what I want. The thing is that depending on type of file I want to download the box for "open file" is ticked for some files like .doc and .xsp files, and the box "save file" is ticked for other files like .zip files.
    Sometimes Im downloading many separate files in a short time and it is annoying to to tick "save file" and select ok instead if having "save file" already ticked and just clicking ok.
    How can I change this behavior?
    My setup:
    Firefox 26.0
    Download status bar
    All-in-one sidebar

    *https://support.mozilla.org/kb/change-firefox-behavior-when-open-file
    *http://kb.mozillazine.org/File_types_and_download_actions
    Current Firefox versions remember the download directory based upon the URL, so if the URL changes then the default folder may be chosen if there hasn't been selected a download folder before for that server.
    You can disable this feature to remember the download directory via the Boolean pref <b>browser.download.lastDir.savePerSite</b> on the <b>about:config</b> page.
    The browser.download.lastDir.savePerSite pref doesn't exist by default (it is a hidden pref), so you need to create it.
    Create a new <b>Boolean</b> pref with the name <b>browser.download.lastDir.savePerSite</b> and set the value to false.

    You can delete the content-prefs.sqlite file in the Profile Folder to only remove settings stored in this file and keep the exceptions that are stored in permissions.sqlite that would be lost if you clear the "Site Preferences" via Clear Recent History.

  • I can no longer burn a disc. The command to do so does not appear in my Files menu. All my recordings are 100% legal. I have installed a new version (it still looks the same), but that hasn't helped. I have done so before.

    All my music is from legal sources (albums owned by me, others from iTunes), but the Burn Disc command does not appear in the File menu, and nothing I do helps. I downloaded a new version of iTunes, but it still loks the same and may just be the same. But the problem started long before I did that.

    This did nothing. Where do I click on the playlist? As far as I have experienced, the playlist is a list of songs with ticks against them on the left. I can use the control key, but where do I point my cursor to select the playlist?
    You don't even need to show the general Sidebar as suggested by others.
    Select Playlists in the top buttons:
    then control-click on the playlist you wish to burn in left column, e.g.:

  • Can't bounce, save or select items from "file menu" HELP!!!!!!!!

    Hi Hope there is someone experienced enough to help!!!!
    I am having a major problem with Logic Pro 7 ( 7.1.1) and I mean major.…
    and to be truthful I have posed this question before on here without resolving the issue although I have tried absolutely every suggestion and idea but am afraid that it is absolutely no different, but thank you to all who have tried greatly appreciated.
    Here is the problem...
    About six months ago a suddenly started to experience a weird problem.
    This is the issue,
    After recording something into Logic with a software instrument, incidentally this happens with both Apple and external plug-ins, everything records and seems to be working just fine, that is until I decide to render / bounce / save the track / tracks or indeed try to do anything from the “FILE” menu when I immediately trigger the time wheel to spins for ever forcing me to click the apple icon and select “force quit” that always reads Logic Pro ( not responding )
    I have ran Disk Utility and did not find any problems with both the internal HD and the external and both passed with no problems. Secondly I have removed Logic compliantly ( many times ) from my computer and reinstalled is once again, but yet again with no successes.
    However I do have a niggling question and a curious message when I try to reinstall Logic that rather perplexes me that read something as follows.
    You are choosing to install an earlier version of Logic the the one installed, which seems to be implying that I have not properly or filly removed the older Logic version before reinstalling the so called replacement. I am suspicious that the message my be compering my hard copy of Logic Pro 7 against the updated version that I download as an Apple download but no to sure, anyway I was under the impression that I was remove everything if a scoop Logic into the trash, or is something going on that I don’t know about?
    Anyway can you suggest where the problem is and hopefully how I can resolve the issue.…
    Thank you for you time in reading my problem and I truly hope you can assist me, THANK YOU.

    If Jim's suggestion doesn't fix it, then read this

    and remove all the files shown there.

    That might be the key.
    It might help if you delete all the Logic files from the receipts folder with a version number ≥ than the version number you're trying to install from disks.

  • ITunes helper and qttask do not appear in my startup files menu

    Troubleshooting iTunes not recognizing my iPhone anymore (always worked in the past), after downloading the new iTunes and new iPhone software. Have uninstalled and reinstalled iTunes twice and followed as much of the online troubleshooting as I could. Could not find iTunes helper and qttask in my startup files menu. This must be what is keeping iTunes from recognizing my iPhone. How do I get these files back?

    Many thanks.
    That can indicate trouble with your Apple Application Support. (Apple Mobile Device Support uses some AAS program files too, so it's consistent with your recognition issue, too.)
    I'd try the following instructions:
    http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=11901253&#11901253
    (Although those instructions are for a 32-bit Vista, they're pretty much identical for XP. Just read "Uninstall a program control panel" as "Add or Remove Programs control panel" and "Computer" as "My Computer".)

  • For some reason, my compression option is grayed out under "File" menu, and when I select a folder with multiple files, or multiple documents, and try to right-click or tap the mousepad with two fingers, I do not get a "compress" option available. Help.

    I don't know why, but when I select a folder with multiple docs contained within it, or multiple files, the Compress option is grayed out under the File menu, nor is it available when I right-click. Please help.

    Yes it is, but I have the same problem of the option does not appear with "right click" (I'm actually control-clicking), and COMPRESS is grayed out under the file menu. I'd like to fix it.
    Hmm. After finding the Archive Utility,* I tried archiving the folder. It came out as .cpgz, ugh. Found there was a preference to make .zip the default. It worked!
    And now…the menus are not grayed out. ?!?! OK.'
    Hope this helps someone.
    *You cannot find this via search, apparently it is a hidden file, you have to click from the root drive through to /System/Library/CoreServices (Thanks for the file path Alberto!)

  • Help - I can't find the "File" menu when I open iTunes

    I am trying to transfer a music file from my Mac to iTunes.  Directions state to click on the "File" menu when you open iTunes - but, seriously, I can't find a "File" menu item.  Help - I am tech challenged.  Thanks.

    You might need to bring up the menu bar to see the File menu.
    If you're using a version 11.0.x, click on the wee boxy icon up in the top-left corner of your iTunes to see the "Show Menu Bar" control, as per the following screenshot:

    The Import option has been moved from the File menu to the Library window; that article needs to be revised.
