I'm getting some strange displays on my iTunes song list????

When a song changes on iTunes on my computer, but another window is over it, (such as a web page of instant messenger) the place where the window is covering my iTunes play list the words are all jumbled. I've managed to figure out that what is happening is when a page is over my iTunes and the song changes to reposition the playlist, the previous playlist words are copied over the new playlist position. But when I click on 1 or all the songs the words straighten out. This only happens when like on random the song changes from 1 to 98 (or any change that causes the bar on the side to scroll) and only when another window is over iTunes when it happens. It has no affect on the playing of the song, it just looks weird. How do I fix this?
(ps I tried to explain as best I could, but if its still too confusing I can try to re-phrase it)
Thanks

Install all available updates. Afterwards, reboot, then go back and install more updates. Repeat until there's no updates left to install.

  • Getting some strange results

    I usually use iMovie 4, which is easy to use and effective for my application. While using iMovie 6 for a project that has clips that are too long for iMovie 4, I experienced the following problems:
    1. When a fade out is inserted, short snips of audio are mysteriously picked up from another part of the video and play back during the fade. I have tried this several times with different fade duration. I did it at a part of the video where the audio track is essentially silent, but it still picks up a voice from another part of the video.
    2. I broke the video into a series of short clips and tried to extract the audio from one of them. It was only a few seconds in duration, but iMovie started to extract the audio from the entire video. The short clip was properly selected and highlighted. So I don't understand why this is happening.
    These are very basic editing techniques that I have used without any problems for many years using iMovie 4. Any ideas what might be causing them?

    I wanted to mention that the unusual audio problem does not occur with fade ins. I have managed to get by with this project by (a) using fade ins but leaving out the fade outs and (b) doing the work that required the audio extraction in iMovie 4. If there is a fix for these problems, however, I would like to start working more often with iMovie 6.

  • Some strange display anomalies.

    Hi everyone
    I have quite a few issues with the display. One is a few dark spots of pixels, I tried to clean the display and they are not gone. The other one is an area of bright pixels at the bottom, only noticeable when that area is bright enough. And also sometimes vertical stripes appear on screen, or sometimes random coloured pixel patterns on screen, upon wake up. These 2 anomalies do not appear to be so frequent that I could reproduce it at any time, but frequent enough to annoy me sometimes. Here are the pics for those -

  • Why am I getting some strange bookmark subscription instead of my bookmarks menu when I try to bookmark a page?

    The bloody thing comes up with something called "Live Bookmarks" instead of the regular save menu. How do I get rid of it and back to the normal save bookmarks system?

    You can check for problems with the places.sqlite database file in the Firefox profile folder.

  • Can't Get Apple Authorization to Play Purchased iTunes Songs

    I purchased over 200 songs from iTunes on another computer and Apple ID. When I moved and got another PowerMac, I let my .Mac account expire and later I opened another .Mac account with the different Apple ID (the one I am currently using). When I try to play any of these many songs I get an error message saying that my computer is not authorized to play the sing. It lists my old Apple ID and password, but when I put them in another error message pops up saying that the Apple ID or Password was incorrect. Since I paid for all these songs and have not exceeded the allowable 5 computer for authorization, is there any way that I can get Apple to authorize these songs on my current Apple ID? Thanks for any help you can provide.

    Take a look at the iTunes Store Password FAQ. That may provide some tips, and a form through which to contact the iTunes Store customer service group if you need further assistance.
    Good luck.

  • Can't get iPhoto to play an authorized iTunes song

    I am making a slideshow to ultimately play in iDVD. Right now I'm making the slideshow in iPhoto and it won't play a Tim McGraw song that I purchased with this machine on iTunes. It says my computer is unauthorized and would I like iTunes to open and let me authorize it. I say okay and follow the directions to authorize and I indeed get a message that the authorization was successful. However when trying to get it to play following I am again told that my computer is unauthorized to play this song. I've done it several times with it always saying it was successful. I've rebooted the computer. I even bought the song again, even when it stated that I had already purchased this song from iTunes. Any suggestions?

    Thank you for your help. I went to both places you suggested and did everything they said but I'm still having the same problem. I had done a search here prior to posting my problem and had already done most of the suggestions but re-did them hoping..............
    This is so frustrating. For the last year it's been pretty much 100% of the time when trying to make a slideshow for a DVD I had a problem. Lots and lots of my motion themes won't work if I want to loop the slideshow. That problem took lots of time and ruined discs to figure out what the problem was. Now I'm wanting to use a brand new song purchased from iTunes and can't. I'm on the verge of quiting Apple products. Don't get me wrong, I love them when they work but for the last year it's been nothing but problems.
    Any help would be so greatly appreciated.

  • ITunes song lists won't display, iTMS works fine

    I'm not sure what I did, but when I open up iTunes (7.2) and click on Library or a playlist, it won't display the list of music. The iTunes store displays fine, and the music still plays (I have to cycle through it blindly), which makes me think the problem is with the rendering of the list or the program's reference to it being null. I'm not too sure. Interestingly enough, the search text box is disabled.
    I've obviously rebooted the computer and tried to delete the old library XMLs and re-import, but neither of those helped. Suggestions would be great.

    Reinstalled iTunes. Worked like a charm.

  • Get wrong number of credits redeeming iTunes songs

    I have received two different codes that entitle me to free downloads. The first one was for 20 songs, which I entered and then purchased 5 songs, leaving me with 15. When I entered the second code number (which was for 5 songs), the box indicated that I now had only 5 songs remaining in my account, instead of the 20 I should have.

  • ITunes won't launch and I get a strange error message-

    My iTunes will not launch and I get this strange error message: The iTunes application could not be opened. The disk could not be read from or written to. But I have no problems with the disk it is on, which is my harddisk. Help, help, help…

    I have now tried a billion things: None of them work. I still get the same error message, when I try to launch iTunes after logging into my user profile. However, I can launch iTunes 6.0.1 if I create another userprofile on my computer and log into that. But that isn't very helpful. I have also tried removing iTunes 6.0.1 and installing iTunes 4.7 instead. I can actually launch that. However, I cannot connect to the iTunes music store using iTunes 4.7 nor can I play any of the music purchased from the iTunes music store. What am I to do, except curse Apple for creating a version of iTunes that many people seem to have problems with?

  • Who is Juan Tapia&how do I get him off my iTunes source list

    I recently purchased an iPod mini, and have installed the accompanying iTunes software.
    In the source list of iTunes I have an entry called "Jan Tapia's Limewire Tunes". I can find no explanation of this in the help files. I wonder if I received a previously owned iPod in my new package. There is no music listed in Juan's Tunes list, and I'd like to get rid of it.
    Has anyone seen this? Any idea how I get this entry out of the iTunes Source List (list which includes Library, podcasts, Videos, Party Shuffle, etc...)?
    Regards

  • I have a Samsung HD TV and I purchased a Mini Display port to HDMI Adapter today. For some strange reason I get no display on my HD tv. I even tried switching a few HDMI cables and nothing popped up. I made sure my computer was updated. Help pls

    I have a Samsung HD TV and I purchased a Mini Display port to HDMI Adapter today. For some strange reason I get no display on my HD tv. I even tried switching a few HDMI cables and nothing popped up. I made sure my computer performed all software updates, and I even tried calling Apple Support. They just told me to keep trying different hdmi cables and see if anything pops up. Does anybody know what the problem is? My HDMI cable is from "rocketfish" also my display port is too.

    You may have the screen refresh rate set higher than the TV is generally able to track reliably. It may be able to get there most times, but occasionally loses sync because it is out of its nominal range.
    I suggest you sit down with the manual for the TV and find out what resolutions at what refresh rates it intends to support through VGA, and make sure your screen settings are near (or below) those limits.

  • Firefox 4 -- just downloaded and menu & top bars are in some strange language - not english. I can't seem to get to a tools menu to change the language because I can't read the top menu.

    Just downloaded Firefox4 and can't read the top line menu because it's in some strange language with symbols instead of letters. How do I get it to display English in the top line menu?
    If I could read the menu, I'd go to tools and see if there were an option to change the menu language, but since I can't read the menu choices, I'd only be pushing meaningless buttons.
    [email protected]

    Thanks. I tried it and get the attached screen. I don't see anything which lets me change the language in the menu.
    Before I give up completely & just stick with Chrome or IE, I'll bring my laptop which has a correctly configured version of firefox 4 side by side with my desktop & use it as a template for clicking on the correct gibberish lines. I still don't see an option for changing menu bar language, but I'll search around a bit.
    It would help if I could get phone contact with someone at Mozilla, but they don't seem to list a phone number on their help page ----

  • HT4910 I have an iPhone 3GS, for some strange reasons only 45 contact are getting backed up on icloud instead of all contacts

    I have an iPhone 3GS, for some strange reasons only 45 contact are getting backed up on icloud instead of all the contacts.
    Can you please help

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    First check that all your settings are correct, that contact syncing is checked on all devices (system preferences > iCloud on a mac and settings > iCloud on a iPhone, iPad or iPod).
    Make sure the contacts you are adding are added to your 'iCloud' group and not an 'On My Mac', 'On My Phone' or other non iCloud group (you can do this by checking in groups), non iCloud contacts will not sync.
    If you are sure that everything is set up correctly and your contacts are in the iCloud group, you might try unchecking contact syncing in the iCloud settings, restarting your device and then re-enabling contact syncing.

  • Why do I get some kind of checkerboarding across my display and then a freezeup?

    on occasion I get some kind of an odd what I'd call "Checkerboard" on and about my display.  It does NOT affect my TV when I'm using it as an outboard 2nd display but on the built in only.  Occasionally this ends with the system locking up and I have to reset using the power button.  Yesterday it must have taken 4 or 5 resets to finally get things to settle down.
