ITunes 11 Not Displaying Song Playing or Progress Through Song (Mac)

I'm using a 2008 MacBook Pro running OS X 10.8 Mountain Lion. I updated to iTunes 11 a few months back and since then I haven't been able to see the current song's information - for example the song title, artist's name, and progress through the song - at the top of iTunes while it's playing. Is this a new feature of iTunes 11 or is there some way I can adjust my setting to show the current song again?

That's consistent with trouble with the Segoe UI fonts on your system.
If you're using Windows XP or Windows Vista, try Vortical's technique from the following post:

  • My ITunes will not display songs correctly

    Ok my Itunes on one of my computers will not display the three boxes at the top labled Genre, Artist, Album. I do know that there is a view icon at the top with three boxes and you click the one to the left. I have two computers and it works just fine on one but not the other. Please Help. Thanks.

  • ITunes radio not displaying song titles, artists, or album artwork.

    iTunes radio on my iphone 5 doesn't display the song title, artist name, or any album  artwork. It's just blank. Tried signing in and out of iTunes, turning phone on/off to no avail. Any suggestions? Thanks!

    I have this same problem.  I also don't have any of the price info for the track.  This problem is on my iPhone 5s, iPad and iPad mini. 
    I tested out iTunes Radio on my wife's iPad and it works fine - album art, track names, album info, price and buying info.
    The information in the "i" button is also blank on all my devices and not on my wife's iPad.
    This is very frustrating because I can never know what the track is that I'm listening to and can't buy it if I like it.

  • Itunes will not display amazon purchases

    iTunes will not display songs I purchased from Amazon and others, it also will not automatically play them when I shuffle "Purchased".  They are in the library because when I search for them I find them.
    Any help greatly appreciated.

    Hi,
    You stated that you found them when you searched your library - create a playlist from selection.

  • ITunes Won't Display (or Play) my Music

    I just booted up iTunes on a brand new MacBook running Yosemite 10.10, with iTunes 12.0.0.140.
    When I change the "Advanced" Preferences to point to the folder on my external drive, it has no effect whatsoever - Apple iTunes does not display my playlists and is apparently unable to find my music and media.  Clicking the annoying "Scan for Media" button also does nothing (and gives no reason as to WHY it does nothing - excellence in software design. LOL!)
    I have tried quitting iTunes and restarting.  I have also tried rebooting the laptop (which is absurd, but one thread said this was necessary? Wow...)
    What the is the deal with this?  What "magic secret sauce" do I need to apply to get iTunes to work?  This is a major P.I.T.A.

    hi - I can't log into my old ID because the email account does not exist (why I changed my apple ID to begin with). I sent an email to Apple and they responded with basically the same advice - asking for my old ID information. I have only one ACCOUNT but two (old and new) ID's that I have purchased music under. However, when Itunes asks me to authorize my music, it will not play the songs after I have authorized them using both IDs (ie changing back to the old id name does nothing). Some of the songs that won't play were bought using both ID names - in other words, I can only play what was bought really recently, not just what was bought with the new ID.
    also - the songs that will not play do not appear under my "purchase history" for my account.
    Sorry if this does not make sense. I would really like to be able to play the 100+ songs that I have purchased in the past and can no longer access!
    Thanks

  • My Ipad will not display song lyrics

    I upgraded to ios 5 and it will not display song lyrics for songs that I put lyrics in for.
    any ideas?

    I tried Lyrics View but it didn't work well for me. It listed music by song title, there was no way to change that to list by artist or album, and it was difficult to select a song to listen to; often a different one would play than the one highlighted.
    Pauser Pro works better but it's still frustrating.  I do enjoy being able to see lyrics again, but music is listed alphabetically by song title rather than by artist or album, and there is no preference panel which lets you change that by default. If you want to hear all the songs on a specific album and you select the artist, you get an alphabetized list of his or her songs with a blue cross to the left of each. Clicking All Songs places them on a list, which you can then click on to play a specific song. But you have to put the songs in that list first, and I was unable to make separate lists for each artist; attempts to do so led to them all being placed at the end of the first list.
    I was finally able to make up a Playlist using a specific genre on iTunes on my computer, transfer it to my iPad, and then access it through Pauser Pro, but the artists were again mostly mixed up and it took a very long time to rearrange them by artist so I could select one and hear all the songs by one person or group. Of course, after that it continues to the next artist on the list, but at least I don't have to keep fiddling with it while I'm busy doing something else and just trying to enjoy some music.
    I contacted the developer about these issues and essentially was told that the app was primarily developed for professionals performing on a stage and that it worked well for that purpose.  I'm still not clear on how to create discrete lists in one wished to do that, though.

  • TS3694 Error message "Itune could not copy 'song' because of an unknown error occured"??

    I purchased a couple of albums from Amazon and downloaded to Itunes. I have done this many times in the past. I can play the songs on Itunes but when I try to upload that music to my Ipod I get an error message "Itunes could not copy "song" to the Ipod because of an unknown error has occured. I have purchased many albums and songs from Amazon and even the Apple store and never had this problem. Has anyone had this happened and was there a fix to be able to upload the music to the Ipod??? Any help would be much appreciated!!

  • HT1918 I have 2 Apple ID's, how do I delete the old one as its interferring with my new account and the music I have already purchased through ITunes does not want to play.  Any suggestions?

    I have 2 Apple ID's, how do I delete the old one as its interferring with my new account and the music I have already purchased through ITunes does not want to play.  Any suggestions?

    Why would you create a new account?
    All purchases will be tied to the account from which they were purchased.
    You will have to authorize your computer for all the accounts from which music is purchased.

  • HT1386 iPhone won't sync with iTunes. It says iTunes can not add songs to iPhone because no songs in iTunes library can be copied to iPhone. Help!!!! What should I do

    iPhone won't sync with iTunes and It says iTunes can not add songs to iPhone because no songs in iTunes library can be copied to iPhone. Help!!!! What should I do. I tried everything!
    I need to add my music to my iPhone from iTunes but its not working!

    First off try and go into your IPhone manually through My Computer and cut photos or anything you can through the device to be able to free space up so that you can continue to do what you want to do with ITunes. This way you will be able to create a backup or do what you have to do to manage your information, photos and texts on your device a little better.

  • TS3833 I am receiving this error when syncing my ipod: iTunes could not copy "song name" to the iPod "name" because an unknown error occurred (-50).  I am using iTunes version 10.6.3.25. Why?

    I am receiving this error when syncing my ipod: iTunes could not copy "song name" to the iPod "name" because an unknown error occurred (-50).  I am using iTunes version 10.6.3.25. Why?

    Right click the filename that won't download and selsct 'Get Info'. Look at the file path, does it have a //?// in it? That is a problem with Amazon downloads that prevent iTunes from finding the file. Use 'Add Folder' to add the album to your library and try syncing it again
