How can I get my iTunes window back?

Help!! My iTunes main window has suddenly vanished & nothing I have tried will bring it back. I've tried everything I can think of. There is nothing in any of the menus that will bring it back. I have re-installed iTunes but that didn't help. The window was still missing. I am stuck with a 'rump iTunes'. Any suggestions? Don.

Thanks for the suggestion but I'm way past preliminary things like that. That was one of the first things I checked on. I've restarted umpteen times, I've removed the preferences from the Library folder in Finder & re-installed iTunes, but the window still doesn't come back. I've run out of ideas. Don.

  • How can I get my iTunes library back into iTunes?

    Folks:
    Hi and thanks for the assist. I recently had to reinstall everything on my Dell XPS 8700 running Windows 7 Pro. I downloaded and installed iTunes 11 and then made my default Media Folder location where all my iTunes music is (backed up). However, while I assumed (yes, I know the old axiom) iTunes would simply automatically import everything in that folder back into my new install, nothing imported. How can I get iTunes to import media (songs, movies, etc.) from my previously saved folder (there doesn't seem to be an "Add Folder" option anywhere - and I really don't care to individually add every single song...
    Thanks again.

  • How can i get the downloads window back? i hate the add-on thing at the top right. can i change this?

    I liked how FireFox used to have a downloads window when I would download. But, now its like som sort of add-on, it's at the top right and I dont like it very well. Can I get the window back somehow? Thanks, Lego893.

    There is a way, but it may not be supported for ever... If you want the old download manager back, go to about:config, click the I'll be careful, I promise! button. Then search for "download", and set the browser.download.useToolkitUI preference to true (double-click it).

  • IPod is dead, how can I get my iTunes music back?!

    I recently dropped my iPod in the toilet, as if you have never heard that story before! So now it is fried. We also got new computers, so we didn't have iTunes downloaded onto this computer. I re-downloaded it and signed in, but I found my music and movies, EVERYTHING was gone!  I don't know how to get it back, or if it is even possible at this point.  I put my iPod in rice too, but it still isn't working.  Are my iTunes purchases and everything gone forever?  That is so depressing if it is!  So PLEASE respond!  I'm desperate at this point!  Thank you!!!

    Have you not got a backup of your content on external drive(s) that you can copy onto your computer ? If not, and you are in the US, then you should be able to re-download past music purchases (assuming that they are still available in the store and you use the same iTunes account as you originally used to purchase them) : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2519, but films can only be downloaded from iTunes once.

  • How can I get my iTunes library back on my iPad?

    So, I own a Macbook and I have about 20 gigs of music on my hard drive, files are also store in iTunes Match, iCloud, etc.
    When I first got my iPad, I saw my entire iTunes library was also on my iPad, just not downloaded to the hd, it was apearing as downloadable. Over the course of a few months, while listening to music on my iPad, I noticed I was running low on storage space.
    So, instead of deleting the indivial files, I decided to delete the library from my iPad.
    However, now I cannot figure out how to get the library back on my iPad, and be able to see my iTunes library and download to the HD as I please.
    Help! Thanks!

    Hey Corey,
    It sounds like you were indeed using iTunes Match on your iPad. iTunes Match would have allowed you to view your entire library, and stream (or download) individual selections. Is iTunes Match still enabled?
    - On your iOS device, go to Settings > Music.
    - Tap the iTunes Match switch to set it to ON.

  • TS1967 My iTunes library no longer has all of my music or playlists. When I click "On this iPod" it shows everything, but it's greyed out. How can I get my iTunes library back to normal?

    I am not sure why, but everything in my library is gone. I no longer see my songs, or my playlist.
    When I click on "on ipod" in my itunes, it shows everything how it should be, but it's grey so I can't click on anything. Is there a way to transfer all of that to my itunes again? Or is there a setting for this? I am so confused, I have no idea how/when this even happened!

    Hello MeggiePie86,
    Welcome to the Apple Support Communities. Before you go through the process of importing your music from your iPod, check to see if the music is already on your computer.  Check in the Following path C:\Users\username\My Music\iTunes\
    Where are my iTunes files located?

    If there is media there, then import that into your iTunes library.

    If you need to transfer your music back from your library, you can transfer purchases that have been made through iTunes.  This article will assist with that process.

  • My laptop broke and I just got a new one....how can I get my itunes library back?

    My laptop I have had for 4 years had all my itunes music I purchased. It stopped working. I cannt even turn it on. Is there anyway I can get my library back?

    That is not good at all.
    You can transfer itunes purchases from an ipod:  File>Transfer Purchases
    If you are in the U.S, then you can retrieve purchases from the newly released icloud:  Open itunes store, click Purchases under Quick Links
    Otherwise, they are gone.
    Always maintaining a backup is very important.

  • My backup cd failed me..How can I get my iTunes music back?

    I had to format my computer, and did a backup on my iTunes library, as recommended, on a dvd. Everything seemed fine, until I was about to copy my music back on to my ITunes after the formatting. iTunes says it can't read the CD/DVD properly after a while in the player, and so I am without music! My computer otherwise recognizes it, and can even say what's on there, with artists names and all, but obviously can't open the files properly, since they're zipped "the iTunes way"...If anyone can help me find a way to make it read and decode the backupcd, I would be really grateful!
    Even if you can't help me with that issue, answering this will be almost just as helpful (as I will get most of my lost music back): So my whole pc was formatted, and my iTunes library is empty as well. But then I tried to log into iTunes store, so that I could download all the songs I've bought there. Again, it wouldn't let me, says that all my available downloads are already downloaded on this computer... well, but they're erased! Please, please, please, I hope someone can help me, I NEED my music!

    It won't let you restore from backup?
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1382
    You only get ONE download. You cannot re-download music. It is your responsibility to backup your music. You should always have a backup.
    From the itunes store terms of service:
    " PRODUCTS CAN ONLY BE DOWNLOADED ONCE; AFTER BEING DOWNLOADED, THEY CANNOT BE REPLACED IF LOST FOR ANY REASON. YOU SHALL BE RESPONSIBLE FOR BACKING UP YOUR OWN SYSTEM"
    You can transfer purchases from an ipod:
    File>Transfer Purchases

  • How can I get my ITunes library back to the way it was

    I just downloaded the new ITunes and I do not like the set up, is there a way to go back and have the layout as it was before?

    That's does nothing to set OS X to use that folder as your home folder.
    For iTunes, hold Option, laucnh iTunes, select Choose library... and select the iTunes folder on the external.
    To set OS X to use the Home folder on the external, see this -> http://chris.pirillo.com/how-to-move-the-home-folder-in-os-x-and-why/

  • On the taskbar and in the start menu, iTunes only shows a default icon.  How can I get the iTunes icon back?

    I know it is only a petty thing, but it is really annoying me.
    It has only come about since the last update
    I have tried rebuilding my Icon cache, and unpinning the shortcuts and creating new ones, neither has worked.
    It is really niggling  at me - any ideas? I'm on windows 7, and all my updates are current, and my virus scan clear.

    By "tabs", do you mean something like this -
    If that is what you see, then you may be right-clicking on the icon instead of left-clicking on it.
    Right-clicking or Control-clicking on an icon in the Dock will bring up a menu like that (it is a contextual menu, so its content varies a bit from program to program).
    Usually, it is necessary to only click an icon in the Dock once in order to start up the program (if it has been quitted) or make it active (if it has not been quitted).
