"Invisible" iTunes 8 after upgrade

Have read several topics related to this issue and am having similar problems after recent upgrade. Very frustrating for my son as it's on his computer and of course needs this immediately. Problem relates to nothing viewable except the topic menu bar - this is Mac OS X Leopard. All that appears is the following: After starting the upgraded iTunes, just the top menu bar - selecting "Window" shows the iTunes is selected - choosing "Equalizer" does display the Equalizer. Selecting iTunes again - top menu bar --- now the next part is interesting --- select minimize and for a brief moment the full screen of iTunes appears then "genies" into it's minimized state on the doc - and you can see a miniaturized version down there. Clicking again on the iTunes icon does the reverse, but again only the menu bar appears at the top and the full size window again "genies" down to the Doc but disappears.

Thank you!!!!!!
It was a problem with spaces. I do not use this feature so therefore I was unfamiliar with it. She had the window so low that it could not be seen. Now I have a happy teenager.... well for at least a minute or two!!

  • IPhone wont show up in itunes after upgrading to leopard and iLife 08

    Hello:
    For some reason, my iphone does not show up on my itunes after upgrading my mac to leopard and ilife 08. The phone was syncing properly before the upgrade. I also installed all the patches that were available for downloading but I did not try syncing between the main update and patches. I am running itunes 7.6 and had been running 7.5.1 before that. My iphone is on firmware 1.1.2 and I have it set to manually sync. My ipod video is syncing fine but I had that set to automatic syncing.
    I checked the system profile and the usb is showing the iphone just fine.
    Can anybody help?

    Yup. It does work, had the exact same problem, iPhone showed in system profiler under USB, and iTunes would not recognize, reinstall fixed it all. It almost looks like a permission problem after the reinstall to where some .plist files got wrong settings set, repairing permissions might work too.

  • Lost music from iTunes after upgrading MacBookPro to OS X Yosemite

    Lost music from iTunes after upgrading MacBookPro to OS X Yosemite. Has anyone had this problem? How did you re-import all your lost music? My iTunes currently only contains all of the music I have purchased from the iTunes Store but nothing that was burned to my iTunes. All of my music files still seem to be located on my hard drive within the iTunes folder but they did not re-import into the library during the upgrade to Yosemite. Thanx for your help.

    Hi OrangeOAK,
    Thanks for the question. If I understand correctly, you still have the music on the computer but need to re add it to iTunes. I would recommend that you read this article, it may be able to help you isolate or resolve the issue.
    Adding music and other content to iTunes - Apple Support
    Adding content on your computer to iTunes
    iTunes helps you add digital audio and video files on your computer directly to your iTunes library. You can add audio files that are in AAC, MP3, WAV, AIFF, Apple Lossless, or Audible.com (.aa) format. If you have unprotected WMA content, iTunes for Windows can convert these files to one of these formats. You can also add video content in QuickTime or MPEG-4 format to iTunes. To learn how to add these files to iTunes follow the steps below.
    Open iTunes
    From the File menu, choose one of the following choices:
    MacAdd to Library
    Windows
    Add File to Library
    Add Folder to Library
    Navigate to and select the file or folder that you want to add
    If iTunes is set to "Copy files to the iTunes Music folder when adding to library," iTunes will copy all content that is added to the iTunes library to the iTunes Music folder. To adjust this setting or change the location of this folder, go to the Advanced tab in iTunes Preferences.
    Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
    Have a great day,
    Mario

  • I'm still struggling with being able to sync ipad3 and iphone 4s to itunes after upgrading software to ios 6. I've gone through all the recommendations by Apple and suggestions from other forums and nothing seems to work. Help!!!!!

    Sounds like you have a battry issue but don't want to believe it.
    If a car was running fine on one tank of gas, then you filled it up with another tank of gas and it began to run funny, one might suspect that tank of gas. But let's just say coincidence blew a valve-- would you think the new tank of gas was the culprit?
    BUT WAIT!! It just might have been! The gas could have been of higher octane and put more more strain on the valves; you know, like going from 87 octane (OS6) to 93 octane (OS7) and showing you the engine was on the edge of compromise.
    Sometimes you have to go with common sense. If everything else is ruled out, it must be the battery. And if it runs fine one moment in OS6 but immediately ***** in OS7, I'd believe my battery was suspect-- though comfy-- in OS6 but the OS7 showed its true power.
    Moreover, if you had the answer-- or didn't want to believe someone's more competent advice-- why did you even call?  You've already shown that you don't know much when you asked if you could go backwards after setting up the new OS as a new phone.
    Additonally, if you're such the know-it-all, but yourself the $29 battery and put it in yourself. It's a piece of cake.

  • Cannot open iTunes after upgrading to 7.3.1

    Just traded my mini for a nano and upgraded from iTunes 6. I was able to install 7.3.1 (Windows XP) and sync the ipod so all of my music is on it, no problems. But after I closed iTunes after the syncing I can't re-open iTunes at all-- I get the message:
    'The iTunes Library.itl file cannot be found or created. The default location for this file is in the iTunes folder in the “My Music” folder'
    Please help!! Thanks.

    +HOWEVER, once my library finished loading into iTunes, another error message came up:+
    +The iTunes library file cannot be saved. An unknown error occurred (-1302).+
    Okay. It's sounding like there was some problem with the original library file (that you had for the previous version) that has been preventing the library update from going through properly. That would fit with the non-appearance of the new .itl file with the upgrade, and the problems with generating a new library file from the old version of the library file.
    So it might be worth trying a library recreation at this point in time. For instructions on that, the following document should be of some assistance.
    How to recreate your iTunes Library
    After the library recreation, does itunes launch properly? (without the 1302 we got from the attempt to revitalise the old library file?)

  • Problems syncing with iTunes after upgrading to OS5

    Hello,
    After upgrading my iPod 3G software to OS5, when I plug my iPod into my Mac (OS10.6.8), iTunes (v10.5) will freeze for several minutes before it can be used again. When I sync my iPod, iTunes will sync all my video podcasts to the iPod, even the ones that were already there, each and every time. I've tried resetting my iPod, but that hasn't worked. Wondering if other people have experienced the same problems and if anything has worked?
    Thanks,
    Clare

  • Cannot open iTunes after upgrade due to missing .dll file

    I cannot open iTunes after a recent upgrade.
    The error is "Applepushservice.dll is missing.  Please reinstall iTunes."  Which I have now done 8 times.
    I have uninstalled everything, clear the cache and rebooted.
    Now what?  Can I download the file from somewhere else and if so, where do I install it?
    Many thanks.

    Go to Control Panel > Add or Remove Programs (Win XP) or Programs and Features (later)
    Remove all of these items in the following order:
    iTunes
    Apple Software Update
    Apple Mobile Device Support (if this won't uninstall move on to the next item)
    Bonjour
    Apple Application Support
    Reboot, download iTunes, then reinstall, either using an account with administrative rights, or right-clicking the downloaded installer and selecting Run as Administrator.
    The uninstall and reinstall process will preserve your iTunes library and settings, but ideally you would back up the library and your other important personal documents and data on a regular basis. See this user tip for a suggested technique.
    Please note:
    Some users may need to follow all the steps in whichever of the following support documents applies to their system. These include some additional manual file and folder deletions not mentioned above.

  • IPhone not recognised in iTunes after upgrading to 10.0.1

    Hi, I hope someone out there can help with a problem I have with my iPhone 3GS currently running 4.1.
    I recently upgraded to iTunes 10.0.1 and iTunes has not worked correctly since.
    When I connect my iPhone to PC with a USB I receive the usual pop-up asking what I would like to do with the device, but when I open iTunes, the phone is not located and listed in Devices (devices not even shown on the menu).
    I have tried all manner of different things to fix;
    Restarted PC
    Restarted iPhone
    Opened iTunes before connecting phone
    Connected phone before starting iTunes
    Connected using different USB cables
    Used different USB ports
    Restarted Apple Mobile Device and iPod Service in Administrative Tools > Services
    Uninstalled 10.0.1 and re-installed a previous version of iTunes
    After all this, my iPhone is still not being recognised in iTunes.
    Can anybody out there help please??
    Thanks
    Phil

    Hi,
    Hopefully someone on here might be able to help me also =)
    I can't be 100% certain when but pretty sure it's since I updated to itunes 10 I haven't been able to sync or charge my iphone through my laptop, although it still charges through mains charger. My laptop makes a noise when I plug the iphone in but does not recognise it in windows or itunes. I have tried the above steps but cannot locate the phone anywhere in device manager or when in recovery mode. Have tried different cables and usb drives aswell as restarting etc.
    Any advice appreciated
