I've lost my complete iTunes window

I've had iTunes installed for at least a year, and I've never had this happen. Just now when I turned my set on and clicked on the iTunes icon, a little window about 1" X 4" appeared on my screen. This window contained only one song, although it was possible to go backward and forward on the iTunes song list. I don't want a one-song window, I want what I've had since I installed iTunes: a window showing all of the songs in my iTunes librry.
I've tried closing-out iTunes, and I've tried turning my computer off and on, but it doesn't help. When I come back, I'm faced with that little, unwanted window. How can I restore the full iTunes window?

According to Mac (Finder) Help:
"The three buttons in the top-left corner let you
close, minimize (shrink), and zoom (enlarge) the
window."

Okay, Shirley, I guess I'll just have to expand my definition of "enlarge". What you helped me do was to perform a transformation rather than an enlargement, at least the way I see things. I had one little window devoted to one little song and then I had the whole ball of wax.THAT'S an enlargement! No it isn't, that's a transformation, that's a galactic shift. In any event, it is what it is, and I'll keep it in mind in the future. Thanks for the explanation.

ITunes Window Apparently Too Small

I just received a 160 GB iPod classic as a gift and tried syncing it with my iTunes. It prompted me to download a more current version of iTunes so I downloaded iTunes 7.5. I cant do anything with my new iPod because I'm stuck at the software license agreement screen, I clicked on "I have read and agree to the Software License Agreement" but the only two options on-screen that I can see are to cancel and save, neither of which do anything. I've tried unsuccessfully to expand the iTunes screen and even uninstalled and re-installed iTunes. Nothing works. It seems like such a simple problem but it has been aggravating for the past few hours or so. Anyone have any solutions?

Going back to the suggestion by mmu1253397, what is your screen resolution? Your resolution may be too small (640x480 or 800x600 for instance). If you right click on your desktop, choose properties, then go to the settings tab, you can increase your screen resolution (drag the slider to the right). By doing so, you shrink the size of everything on your desktop, thereby allowing you to display more (including more of a maximized window). I'm running iTunes on three different PCs with resolutions of 1024x768 and 1600x1200 and have had no issues displaying the complete iTunes window.

I am trying to set up Sharing amongst several computers on my home network. I have followed all the setup instructions but after completion Sharing does not appear in my iTunes window (on any of the computers I've set up). There is no explanation why.

I have been trying to set up Sharing between two computers on my network. I did this once and it worked. However, when I try to set this up now the Sharing feature does not appear on the left side of the iTunes window (on either computer). There is no explanation as to why not. Is this a configuration problem, a network problem or what? Can it be fixed? I have tried turning sharing off and back on on both computers but to no avail. What am I missing? Thanks for any help you can provide.

Hey innerev2003,
Thanks for the question, and welcome to Apple Support Communities.
If, while searching through your past purchases, items are unavailable to download and show a "Purchased" button, they are still on your computer. It may be best to search your iTunes library by clicking Music, then use the search bar at the top right.
If you are completely sure the items are no longer in your library, try signing out of the iTunes Store, and then back in.

I use to have a iTunes account with my old computer, and I have lost all my iTunes music, some purchased, some downloaded from another source. Now I'm using a brand new computer (Windows) and I have opened a NEW iTunes account, but I need my music back...

I use to have a iTunes account with my old computer, and I have lost all my iTunes music, some purchased, some downloaded from another source. Now I'm using a brand new computer (Windows) and I have opened a NEW iTunes account, but I now I need to figure out if it is possible to recoup my music content that I originally had. I had, I believe around close to 300 songs on my account ;(......Any help or guidance would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks Again, Ronald

Now remove all your info and update the old AppleiD/iTunes account and use only that account.
You cannot transfer items between iTunes accounts.
You can redownload all the content.

Strangely I did manage to successfully transfer two tracks to iTunes, but all further attempts have failed.

I attempted to update itunes (Windows 7) it didn't work, after several tries I uninstalled itunes completely, and now I cannot get it to reinstall correctly. help?

Had issues upon updating iTunes to newest version (11).
The display settings were not working, I tried to run it in compatibility mode for Windows 7 Service Pack 2, which i'm currently running.
Still had major issues, couldn't click anywhere on the iTunes window, the only thing I could click was file but even then the dropdown menu wasn't working correctly.
I tried several times to adjust my computers' settings to accomodate the new version, and still nothing worked.
I got fed up, and uninstalled the lastest version and now I am having trouble reinstalling.
I tried the latest version a few more times, and now when I click download on the site link, it doesn't even prompt the download window in Mozilla.
It doesn't create a location anywhere within my computer either.
I downloaded 10.7 in hopes of that maybe working, I figured because I haven't updated the iOS on my phone, and my computer is still a little behind that this might help, but it says,
"itunes library.itl cannot be read" and something to do with having a new version of the file already.
I just want to have some version of itunes on here, I still have Bonjour, though I think with the issues I am having the Software update must be gone along with any itunes program I previously had.
I cannot restore any previous versions because I haven't backed it up on to anything for quite some time.
I just want to manage my iPhone 4 again, and this is driving me nuts.
Any help is very appreciated,
thanks for reading.

The Problem is resolved by :
Click on the "Start" button. Click "Run." Type the word "cmd" in the open box. When the DOS screen comes up, type "netsh winsock reset." Press "Enter." Type "exit" to close the DOS window and go back to Windows.
Restart the computer.
Thanks to my friend Sunil.

"Cannot complete iTunes store request..." error solved

As posted elsewhere here, repeated clicking between "iPhone" and any other header such as "Music" or "Playlists" in the iTunes browser has solved this error message:
"Cannot complete iTunes store request - network connection was reset. Make sure your connection is active and try again."
After about 45 minutes I got the message: "Restoring iPhone from backup"
It is now sloowwly restoring my original iPhone (No usb 2.0 on the old PowerBook G4 400)
Hammered Apple servers = tried patience. Keep trying!

I don't know if this will help you guys, but it worked for me...
I've been having the exact same problem since upgrading to iTunes 9. Installed the recent update to 9.0.1.8 with no change--still no icons when the Store comes up, long vertical layout, 306 error when clicking on anything.
I'm on an older Windows box with XP installed, Safari 4.0.3, iTunes 9.0.1.8. I use Firefox for the web. Though it WAS installed, I had never used Safari on this machine. Went to take a look at Safari and see if there was anything wrong.
I found that Safari was NOT set up properly to get through my Firewall--again, I had never used it before. As soon as I got the internet settings right in Safari and made sure it could get to the web properly, I re-launched iTunes and lo and behold the Store worked properly. This was NOT a problem with iTunes 8. Apparently everything with Safari needs to be kosher before the iTunes 9 Store will work.
Maybe you all have done this already, but it immediately solved the problem for me. Hope this helps someone.

Can't download movies on iTunes (Windows 7 Home Premium)

The other night, I realized a new fascination for movies starring Michael Cera. So, while lying in bed, I decided to download a few. Those to included Scott Pilgrim, Youth in Revolt, Nick and Norah, and Superbad. The downloaded went find on my iPhone 4, but when I tried to search for the the next morning on my computer - I couldn't find them. I ended up having to get them from my iPhone 4 to iTunes and everything seemed to have worked out fine. Now, whenever I try to play the files via iTunes on my computer, an error pops up stating the computer I'm using doesn't have authorization to play said file and to authorize the computer. By now I think I've unauthorized and authorized this computer maybe 60 times now. So I just went ahead and decided to just buy them again. I did do that, but now whenever I try to download them a "-50" errors pops up anywhere during the download stating that the download had to be stopped because I lost connection. Doesn't say what I lost connection to (iTunes, internet, etc), but just merely states that I have lost the connection. So I did some research and apparently this has happened before. A quickfix would be to just clear the created cache of each file, redownload them over again and it should work out. Well this didn't work .. it just kept erroring out in random/different spots everytime. I need some help. I go on a long plane ride in 2 weeks and I want to have my Michael Cera movies to watch. Thank you.
Robert

You'll need to describe your network. I don't know what a "windows based" home network is. Do you have a LAN? Or are you running a Windows server?
If you have a LAN, is your printer connected via wifi to your router or is it connected to a print server? Did you install the printer's drivers on your Apple computer? Is your printer getting an IP Address?

My icloud songs not showing up in my itunes window even though itunes match is turned on

my icloud songs not showing up in my itunes window even though itunes match is turned on

I Am having a similar issue with my husbands iTunes match. I restored a 2011 iMac and decided to download all my husbands music via iTunes match. Apart from taking ages, he only has 2,500 songs on the match, it greyed out lots of songs, which later I found out said that they were 'waiting' also, loads are missing. I tried following someone else's thread and tried to delete the greyed out ones so I can download again but I fear I may have completely deleted them. Also, I have a lot of duplicates, both on iCloud and both downloaded! What's happening? My iTunes appear to be behaving ok!

How do you restore the "Last Date Played" notice in the iTunes window for songs?

How do you restore the "Last Date Played" note in the iTunes window of playlists? I lost this a couple of weeks ago, and had someone explain the steps to take (which are not on the iTunes "Help" menu). Thanks.

In the playlist, Right Mouse click on the column headers and it will give you a list to choose from in the pop up select Last Played and that column will display

I synced ipod to itunes (windows), it removed all my single purchased songs. I can see the songs in itunes, but they are gray

I synced ipod to itunes (windows), itunes removed all my single purchased songs from my iphone. I can see the songs in itunes, but they are gray and I can't move them back to my iphone or to any other device. I can't play them on the computer in itunes, I can't move them back to my iphone (where original purchase was made), and I can't move them into another ipod.

I had the Itunes store do this to one song out of three I downloaded. I went back to the Itunes store and reclicked on the song to download it again. It ran the download again and got the complete song this second time. Then I just resynced with my Itunes and all is fixed.
