ITunes 6 prints text directly on Windows Desktop

ITunes 6.0 and 6.0.1 come up, a lot of the time, printing tracks directly on the Windows desktop. That is to say iTunes doesn't have its skin and does not clear the space it is going to draw graphics on. It really only shows text when it does this. You can read the text but when you update something, new text prints over the old text without erasing the old text.
I suspect this is specific to Windows 2000, but I really don't know.
If I get this behavior, no matter how many times I restart iTunes, I can't get rid of it. But if I reboot Windows 2000, usually iTunes comes up the next time without this behavior.
I use this Windows 2000 box mainly because it has a big disk on it. I use it only for iTunes and Slimserver (the Slim Devices streaming server).

First, try the most obvious things. Make sure you have the latest drivers for your video card. Also reinstall the latest DirectX on your system. Those usually fix these sort of weird display issues.

  • Printer wireless direct internet windows

    just to verify:  On my PC running WIN 7,      I can not BOTH 
       print via wireless direct (WD) on my 3510
            AND
        access the internet on my wireless home network (WHN)
    unless I:
      (using WIN 7) switch between the WD network and the WHN network
       or
     manually disable WD on the 3510        ?
    This is inherent in the WIN7/WD implementation?  Yes/no?
    This question was solved.

    Hi,
    Indeed by connecting to the Wireless Direct network you will not have internet access, that is an expected behavior:
    Wireless connection issues > How do I print wirelessly without a wireless router? > Downsides to peer-to-peer networking:
    Your computer can only connect to one wireless network at a time. When it is connected to your printer, it cannot also connect to a wireless router (for Internet access, for example).
    http://www8.hp.com/us/en/campaigns/wireless-printing-center/faq.html
    To gather full network functionality you will need a router to connect both the printer and the internet.

  • How to Print text in two main windows

    For printing label have created two main windows on a page. calling function write_form In ABAP Program under do loop for two times. 
    but program prints only one window. why is it so? how can i print text on two windows.
    do 2 times.
      COUNT = COUNT + 1.
    loop at itab WHERE DEPTT LT 200.
        CALL FUNCTION 'WRITE_FORM'
          EXPORTING
            ELEMENT  = 'TEST'
            FUNCTION = 'SET'
            TYPE     = 'BODY'
          WINDOW   = 'MAIN'
          EXCEPTIONS
           ELEMENT   = 1
           FUNCTION  = 2
           TYPE      = 3
           UNOPENED  = 4
           UNSTARTED = 5
           WINDOW    = 6
           OTHERS    = 7.
      endloop.
    enddo.
    Please guide.

    Since the information is variable and coming out of the print program, I can assume you want to print many labels but two to a page. Also, any page numbering, etc will need to be updated. This is easily accomplished with SAPScript but a feature people rarely use I believe. Here are the simple steps:
    1) On the Windows Screen: Creat a main window for the size of the label, etc knowing that you will be putting multiple windows on a page. For example, if page size is 8.5 x 11, maybe your window size is 6 X 4 or something similar. You only need one main window defined.
    2) Now go to Page Windows Screen. Add a window MAIN and down at the bottom where it says Window Type put in MAIN. Next to this field is a little field about two characters long. In here put in '01'.
    3) Now Add another window MAIN and down at the bottom put in '02'.
    Hopefully this gives you the idea. I've done this with up to 30 small windows in order to print variable window for labels on label stock such as Avery 8167, etc. 
    Good Luck!

    Service "Apple mobile Device) failed to start. 
    Verify that you have sufficient privileges to start system services.
    I am trying to install it on my desktop.  I am also in Administrator mode.  My iTunes stopped working when I was notified that there was a new version of iTunes and would I like to download it. I said yes as always and it was unable to finish the update because of a
    runtime Error!
    Program: C:\program Files (x86)\iTunes\iTunes.exe
    R6034
    An application has made an attempt to load the C runtime library incorrectly.
    Please contace the application's suport team for more information.
    My iTunes stopped working at this time.  I thought I could delete iTunes and start over. This tactic did not work.
    Can anyone make sense of what I am saying and help me to get my iTunes back again?

    Try a more recent version of my advice. The "for older video cards version" may work when the default version doesn't.
    For general advice see Troubleshooting issues with iTunes for Windows updates.
    The steps in the second box are a guide to removing everything related to iTunes and then rebuilding it which is often a good starting point unless the symptoms indicate a more specific approach. Review the other boxes and the list of support documents further down the page in case one of them applies.
    The further information area has direct links to the current and recent builds in case you have problems downloading, need to revert to an older version or want to try the iTunes for Windows (64-bit - for older video cards) release as a workaround for installation or performance issues, or compatibility with QuickTime or third party software.
    Your library should be unaffected by these steps but there are also links to backup and recovery advice should it be needed.

  • Print text file with labview 2011 and windows 7

    I am having some strange problem, hope someone out there knows the solution.
    We have a labview program running under windows xp, the program runs some test and print label from a local label printer. Last week, I have to upgrade the computer to windows 7 and all the sudden the printer will not print any more.
    The print vi is very simple. I am using the report function and I am attaching the diagram of that vi below. 
    If I use windows notepad to open that small text file, I can print fine. This means the printer driver itself is OK. However, if I print the same text file through Labview printing vi, from the printer's task list, I can see it does not recognize the char. From the attached png file, the top one is the task from notepad, it shows 2 pages and the bottom one is from the labview, it becomes 33 pages. 
    For the printer part, I use Generic / Text Only printer driver which comes from windows itself. And I am aslo attaching a sample of the text file, there are quite a lot of special char, it is for print bar code. When I tried to use labview print text vi to print general text from my computer to a regular printer, the vi works. So it seems Labview print can not handle the special char? Although it worked many years under windows XP in the past.
    Welcome to any suggestions!
    Thanks

    where to check RAW or TEXT? the print report vi only asks for file name and printer name.
    When I print from notepad, everything just goes by default. This is a label printer, so I never need to specify printing parameter such as size, orientation, etc in the past
    Famous last words go something like this: "...never had to do that before."  Maybe you have to do that now.  It's worth at least comparing the defaults settings for bothe generic drivers.  It could save you a lot of headache if you notice something different.

    Migrate an iTunes library from one computer to another
    These are two possible approaches that will normally work to move an existing library to a new computer.
    Method 1
    Backup the library with this User Tip.
    Deauthorize the old computer if you no longer want to access protected content on it.
    Restore the backup to your new computer using the same tool used to back it up.
    Keep your backup up-to-date in future.
    Method 2
    Connect the two computers to the same network. Share your <User's Music> folder from the old computer and copy the entireiTunes library folder into the <User's Music> folder on the new one. Again, deauthorize the old computer if no longer required.
    Both methods should give the new computer a working clone of the library that was on the old one, with ratings, play counts, playlists etc. preserved. As far as iTunes is concerned this is still the "home" library for your devices so you shouldn't have any issues with iTunes wanting to erase and reload.
    I'd normally recommend method 1 since it establishes an ongoing backup for your library and unlike copying with Windows Explorer the process can be resumed if it is interrupted and it will continue to the next item if there are any read/access errors.
    Note if you have iOS devices and haven't moved your contacts and calendar items across then you should create one dummy entry of each in your new profile and iTunes should  merge the existing data from the device.
    If your media folder has been split out from the main iTunes folder you may need to do some preparatory work to make it easier to move. See Make a split library portable.
    Should you be in the unfortunate position where you are no longer able to access your original library or a backup then then seeRecover your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device for advice on how to set up your devices with a new library with the maximum preservation of data.

    Hello ibebry
    Try using the Software Update on your iPhone by going to Settings > General > Software Update. One thing to keep in mind if you are trying it on the computer is to make sure that you are not pressing any keys down when checking for updates as that may bring up a pop up window to find the update file. 
    Update your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch

  • When installing itunes on PC with Windows Vista, the itunes program "took over" all of my desktop icons.

    When installing itunes of my PC with Windows Vista, the itunes program "took over" all of my desktop icons.  How can I install it so it doesn't do that?  Thanks!

    You can force Vista to rebuild the desktop icons by changing your monitor's color depth momentarily. In the display properties, change to 16-bit color. Then change back to 32-bit.

    I have Adobe Photoshop Elements 10. It came installed on my HP Desktop. I am can not get the warp text tool to work. It has worked in the past. Once I click warp text, the little window does not pop up, and if I try to do anything else after I click warp text, it wont let me. Just sounds the ding, alert, can still slightly navigate the program but can not use any other tools after clicking warp text. I just have to open task manager and close the program. not sure if I'm doing something wrong or maybe I just need to uninstall and re install. Having trouble finding out how to uninstall and reinstall because the program came pre installed on my desktop.

    It actually sounds like the warp text window is opening off screen.
    Resetting the photoshop elements 10 preferences should fix it.
    *Press and hold the Shift+Ctrl+Alt keys just after you start the launch of the photoshop elements 10 editor
    *Keep holding the keys down until you get a dialog asking if you want to delete the adobe photoshop elements setting file
    *Press Yes

  • Merge two iTunes Libraries?  From Windows Desktop PC to Mac Laptop?

    I have just bought a new Mac laptop and would like to move all my iTunes stuff over onto the laptop from my old Windows desktop PC. While this situation is problematic enough, I also happen to have some 100+ songs on the laptop that need to stay, so I'm wary of simply copying files over and overriding things. I don't want those songs, playcounts and playlists to be lost.
    As far as transferring the data goes, unless networking these computers is best, I'd like to use an external harddrive. The external drive has always been used with Windows computers in the past - will that pose a problem?

    Download and use this tool. The drive's format shouldn't be a problem.
