ITunes 8 - purple screen in tunes window after upgrading

After installing itunes 8 over version 7 (on XP), I now have a purple/lavender colored screen in the software window. It is now nearly impossible to read the text. The screen goes back to normal whenever I switch from a maximum screen to a restore down screen (or vice versa), but then reverts back to the purple screen if I do anything like clicking on an individual song or podcast or anything in the menu screen. Everything else seems to work okay so far (though much slower).

i had the same problem and your solution was the right one for me, thx !
(strange : i was in 32bits mode before the upgrade to iTunes 8...)

    recently "lost" a purchased song, (Plus the accompanying artwork) from my i-tunes library, after upgrading my O.S. from windows XP to windows 7.
    Is there any way to get the original song back, or, at least, re-purchase it?... I tried to do the latter, (It's still available in the itunes store) but, when I clicked on the buy link, I was informed that I had already bought it and was only given the option to, either, copy the link or send it to Facebook/Twitter
    I also, inadvertently, deleted a couple of default playlists (Notably recently added) while attempting to get the song back.
    Can someone out there, please, help me out. with the solution(s). (preferably step by step if possible, as I'm a bit of a Homer Simpson when it comes to this sort of thing) .. Doh!! :-(

  • Stuck in a "loop" at the login window after upgrading to Leopard

    I bought a new iMac Oct 26. It contained Tiger, and included a disk for installing Leopard. I easily got the machine up and running using Tiger, but last night I attempted to install Leopard. When the installation was complete, I tried to get it running. A screen asking for my password came up. I keyed that in and hit logon. Back came the screen asking for the password. To make long story short, I tried everything I could last night, and then called Apple Support this morning. Took quite a while, but I was back in business this afternoon. The technician who helped me sent me the email copied below describing the solution. Perhaps it will help someone else? Romelle

    Mac OS X 10.5, iMac (Late 2007): Stuck in a "loop" at the login window after upgrading to Leopard
    Issue or symptom
    After installing Mac OS X 10.5 Leopard on a 20-inch or 24-inch iMac (Late 2007) computer, you may not be able to log in at the login window. Your login name and password are apparently accepted, but after a blue screen appears for a few seconds, the login window reappears instead of your desktop.
    Products affected
    20-inch or 24-inch iMac (Late 2007) computer with 2.0, 2.4, or 2.8 GHz processors
    Mac OS X 10.5 Leopard
    Solution
    If Leopard is installed
    Start up from the Leopard Install DVD and perform an Archive and Install installation (and select Preserve Users and Network Settings).
    After the Archive and Install is complete, you should be able to successfully log in. Use Software Update to install any other updates.
    Important: Install the iMac Software Update 1.3 for Leopard after the Archive and Install is complete.
    If Leopard is not yet installed
    If you have not yet installed Leopard on your 20-inch or 24-inch aluminum iMac computer with a 2.0, 2.4, or 2.8 GHz processor running Mac OS X 10.4.x, but previously installed the iMac Software Update 1.2, you should install the iMac Software Update 1.2.1 (Tiger) or later, before installing Leopard.
    Thank you,
    Apple

    If Leopard came pre-installed and this is a new machne, then the disks that came in the box should let you archive install preserving users & network settings. The disks have a grey label, and if you get more than one use disk #1 for this procedure.
    Hold down the "option" (also known as "alt" on the new keyboards) key when starting up with disk #1 in the optical drive. Select the install disk icon on the grey screen and click the arrow. Then when you get to the "select destination pane, click the options button after selecting your hard drive as the destination. In options A& I preserving should be checked by default, if not, select them. Click "ok" to dismiss the options pane, then run the installation.
    If this does not work for you, call apple support. They want everything to work. Be patient, they are real busy these days.

  • Why did my "other" category in itunes balloon to 10.5 gb after upgrade to ios 5?

    Why did my "other" category in itunes balloon to 10.5 gb after upgrade to ios 5?

    Same happened here on my iphone 4. I heard it's something about bad meta data in the music files but I've no idea. It seems to be fixed by deleting the music from the iphone and then syncing it back on. No need to reset so far luckily!

  • Portal favorites open in same window after upgrade

    Dear Experts,
    After upgrade Portal from EP 7.0.1 SP3 TO SP8 KMC Patch 1,  we are facing some issues, the issue is, clicking on the favorites link opens the page in the same window. But in the page properties we have mentioned to open in a new window and via detailed navigation it is opening in the new window only. But when we add this page in portal favorites and click on the link from favorites, it is opening in the same screen.
    Thanks,

    Hi Guys. Thanks so much for replying.
    Cedric - I'm in 08. I posted in the 06 forum first by mistake. And I basically don't know "how" I built the site. I just kind of poked around like I usually do, trial by many errors.
    Roddy - I've had the folder and index on my desktop. I hadn't previously uploaded the index and just did so but nothing's changed. My host company doesn't have an actual control panel. I have a feeling it's not a great one. At least for a beginner. Is there anything on their site I should be looking for?
    Cyclo - I hadn't nothiced the Hear button working correctly, since I haven't actually been working there yet! You're right it works. I guess I do have to rebuild the text buttons as you say. I guess this is the down fall of not knowing HTML.
    I really appreciate all the input folks.

  • Motion screen is completely black after upgrading to Leopard

    Hi,
    I have opened IDVD for the first time after upgrading to Leopard and it does not work correctly anymore.
    The motion screen is in black and does not show anything (while you can hear the sound of the theme selected)
    This happens with already created projects and new projects
    All since upgraded to Leopard
    It is possible to see a movie in an already created project, if you are able to go through the menuscreens and select the movie without actually seeing anything. Than the movie is shown correctly.
    I work with the latest version of Leopard and IDVD, all on a macbook

  • ITunes stopped recognizing my iPhone 4S after upgrading to 11.01

    After upgrading iTunes to the latest version 11.01, my iPhone 4S is no longer recognized.  No problem with my iPod.

    Having the same problem, iTunes won't sync my music, gets to the last step in the process and just hangs there.
    iPhone 4S on iOS 7
    iTunes 11.1 on windows Vista.
    Tried to uninstall/reinstall iTunes but didn't work.
    Recreating the library didn't work.
    Tried to sync single album with no luck.
    Ensured the sync music checkbox was checked.
    Phone has been reset, PC restarted several times.
    Unless someone has a better suggestion looks like I will have to restore phone to factory settings and start from scratch. 

  • Itunes won't recognize iphone 3gs after upgrade to IOS 5

    Backup for Iphone on itunes was made on DELL INSPIRON MINI 10 laptop running XP Professional, Thursday evening 10-13-2011.
    Upgraded Itunes to new system (ios 5) Friday evening 10-14-2011.
    Connected Iphone to laptop Saturday afternoon to sync and upgrade phone to ios 5. after 2 hours phone was wiped clear, and itunes dropped recognition icon from list. several attempts were made to re-sync. all failed, itunes would not recognize. ended up restarting phone and installing upgrade on another computer. Laptop still failed to recognize.
    attempted upgrade to Ipod and it locked up on "Disconnect before removing'. opened Itunes dropdown and selected 'Diagose devise' and was able to restore ipod and sync with itunes. afraid to attempt 'diagnose' with iphone, now that it is working.
    back-up for iphone still appears on itunes,,,, just can't back it up...XP is unable to 'ICloud' and my DELL Window Vista Home Premium won't install updates so ICloud won't load....

    Help please - my computer does not recognize iPhone after upgrading to IOS4 and iTunes 9.2 ---- I have WIndows 7 --- have tried EVERYTHING and still it does not work. I want to do my albums via the computer, not iTunes since it adds the Photo Library folder, which is a duplicate of all my picture folders.
    Does anyone have a real solution please? I have uninstalled, installed, deleted drivers, installed drivers - the computer says the drivers are working, but obviously not.
    When is Apple going to post the solution so that people will know what to do - seems everyone has an idea, but none are working for me and the extra photo folder frankly drivers me crazy ---- something about iPod cache ----- do not want duplicate pictures.
    And, will albums be able to be edited - can these pics not be sent to Facebook.
    I know, several topics ----- what a mess Apple has created with IOS4 and iTunes 9.2. Ready to send the phone back!

  • My itune crash whenever it download podcast after upgrade to 11.3.1.2, I was it Win 7

    After upgrade to 11.3.1.2, my itune crash whenever I try to download podcast. I am now in Win 7, the itune and those podcasts has been here for a long time. (not newly add)

    I think I have found a "fix" to the problem on Win7.
    My problem was : When I refresh my podcast in Itunes 11.3.1.2 on Windows 7, Itunes crashed.
    I try many different things in order to "fix" the crash, but I think the key thing is renaming or deleting this folder
    C:\Users\<User>\AppData\Roaming\Apple Computer\iTunes
    to something else like
    C:\Users\<User>\AppData\Roaming\Apple Computer\iTunesBak
    From what I observe this affected how Itunes's UI was displayed and not much else, but I would strongly suggest to backup your stuff before doing this.
    Others steps I did thay may have helped address the issue is uninstalling Itunes and reinstalling it. Renaming the Itunes folder in the music folder
    ex: C:\Users\<User>\Music\iTunes to C:\Users\<User>\Music\iTunesBak
    and then copying
    iTunes Library.itl
    iTunes Music Library.xml
    from the "ItunesBak" folder to the "Itunes" folder. NOTE!! All my mp3 files are in a specific folder on my drivem if you are using the default settings don't forget to copy your media library.
    Good luck!

  • Stuck in login window after upgrading to Mavericks

    I am unable to login with my (admin) account after upgrading to Mavericks yesterday.
    This was very unfortunate considering that I didn't backup my data !!
    On reboot (I do not remember whether it was the first or second time) I couldn't login anymore as I usually did.
    I tried different procedures (entering secure mode, repair permissions, reinstall 2 times Mavericks) but cannot solve the stuck.
    Then I thought it could be a nice idea to create a new admin user and followed this instructions (http://www.hackmac.org/tutorials/how-to-create-a-new-administrator-account/).
    After that I was able to login with the new user, I backed-up my data but I was still in stuck on login window with the old user.
    I tried to delete
         com.apple.loginwindow.plist
         com.apple.recentitems.plist
    from /Users/XXX//Library/Preferences/ and tried to restart but nothing.
    Now I wonder how my old and important user can start working again.
    Thank you very much.
    Giuliano

    Restart and hold down the Command and R keys during startup.
    On top, in the Menu Bar click the Utilities item then select Terminal.
    In the Terminal window, type resetpassword and hit Return.
    The Password reset utility launches/
    Reset password.

  • ITunes Not Recognizing my iPod Touch after Upgrading from Tiger to Leopard

    After upgrading from Tiger (10.4.x) to Leopard (10.5.0=>10.5.6), my iPod Touch is no longer recognized by iTunes 8.0.2. The iPod Touch no longer appears in iTunes' "source list" (left side pane in iTunes' GUI).
    Immediately prior to that upgrade, my iPod Touch was working great with Tiger (10.4.x). iTunes 8.0.2 recognized it (listed it in sources) and always synchronized with it successfully.''
    My iPod Touch is also not shown in the Finder. However, it does show up as recognized in iPhoto.
    Any ideas on how to get the iPod recognized again in iTunes under Leopard?

    Thanks to a posting by Jim in a different Apple Discussions (forum), my problem is now resolved. Read on for the details.
    iPods & Finder. Some other postings incorrectly lead me to believe that the iPod would show up in the "Finder". Jim's posting set me straight on this.
    iTunes Not Recognizing iPod Touch. Prior to Jim's posting, I had already read the article that Jim referenced (to remove and reinstall the Apple Mobile Device Service per article "http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1747").
    Prior to Jim's posting, I had also read other articles in various "Apple Discussions" (forums) that suggested this recognition problem could be resolved by uninstalling/re-installing iTunes 8.0.2. Some implied that you could just re-install iTunes 8.0.2 right over the currently installed one without bothering to uninstall it.
    Based on those postings, I "gambled" last night and simply downloaded and re-installed iTunes 8.0.2 (without uninstalling it first). I noticed during the installation that the Apple Mobile Device agent was also re-installed. Well, my gamble paid off! After the installation (and a reboot?), iTunes onces again RECOGNIZED my iPod Touch.

  • Mac partition (hfs+) not visible in Windows after upgrade to Yosemite

    Hi,
    I'm using a MacBook Pro with two partitions, Windows 8.1 (Bootcamp) en Mac OS X. I upgraded Mac OS from 10.9 to 10.10 (Yosemite) recently.
    After upgrading, the Mac partition in Windows is no longer visible. I need it to be visible, as I have files on that partition which I need to access in Windows.
    I've checked the format of the Mac partition, which is HSF+. I have installed the latest Bootcamp driver (5.1.5621).
    Any assistance would be appreciated.

  • Itunes wifi sync does not work after upgrade to OS X Yosemite

    Hi,
    After upgrade to OS X Yosemite itunes wifi sync with my ipad and iphone stopped working. After attaching the iphone and ipad with a cable, I could sync, but as soon as the cable was removed, the ipad and iphone disappeared again from itunes. And wifi did still nok work.

    Apparently something is not being saved somewhere and this technique forces the save.  Below is a C&P from another poster describing the technique on a different thread.  It's been working for him for some fifteen hours.  I tried it and it's been working but it's been only ten minutes.  My gut feel is that quitting and relaunching iTunes are critical steps.
    With the device connected via cable, click on its icon
    Uncheck WiFi syncing
    Click Apply
    Quit iTunes
    Launch iTunes
    Check WiFi syncing
    Click Apply

  • VPN Server broken with Windows after upgrade from Tiger.

    Hey there
    I use Tiger 10.4 Server on a PowerMac G4.
    It has two network interfaces, one public facing with it's own static IP, and the other internal facing.
    The VPN service works perfectly, and allows people to connect via L2TP and assignes them an IP on the internal facing subnet, and allows OS X and Windows clients to connect.
    However after upgrading to Leopard, only Mac clients can connect, all the Windows clients connect, and although they get an IP and are able to ping destinations, attempts to connect to these destinations (some of which are web apps on port 80, others are file servers running Samba), they just sit waiting for ever.
    I've experimented with this problem, and it appears to be a problem with MTU and packet fragmentation, however these settings appear to be the same between Tiger, which worked, and Leopard which does not work.
    Does anyone have any experience with the new VPN Server in Leopard, and can offer me any advice on how to fix this problem? I'm currently downgraded to Tiger again until a fix can be found.

    I had the same issue, among others, but I finally got everything to work eventually. It seems that if the IP range of the client connecting to VPN is in the same range of the server LAN, there will be connectivity issues, whether it be pcs and/or macs not being able to connect. The following set up got my VPN services working:
    1. Get DNS and Open Directory working properly. When I did an upgrade, the Server Admin updated my zone files with a curious extra space, which killed DNS. For example, I had the name server as ns.company.private., but in the files it would say ns. company.private everywhere! I've been reading about various bugs in upgrading DNS, so I think it's best just to start DNS from scratch. But if you are upgrading, the following thread expalins how to go about setting up DNS and Open Directory: http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=5957209&#5957209
    2. Once you have Open directory users and dns working properly, then set up VPN. Give a unique IP range to the internal network (192.168.7.1/24) that other networks will not emulate. If you use 192.168.1.1, you will likely run into issues. You can always test this method out by changing the IP range from a remote location and trying to get in this way instead of changing the server. Also, be aware that if you use Gateway Assistant within NAT, it will automatically give you a 192.168.1.1/24 range, at least that's been my experience, and this always killed VPN for me. I would set up NAT manually to avoid problems.
    3. Ensure that the DNS information under the Client Information tab is correct. For my server I have 192.168.9.1 as the nameserver, and company.private as the search domain. Then set up routing tables. Mine are 192.168.0.0:255.255.0.0 private and 0.0.0.0:0.0.0.0 public.
    Also, when you restart the server, stop and restart VPN services, as there is some talk about the Tiger bug still being around, where VPN services are messed up upon startup. This all worked for me and a couple others that had similar server set ups. Hopefully this will work for you.

  • Re-installing windows after upgrading hard drive?

    Hi, 
        Ive been searching through Google and on this site but I keep finding info on how to upgrade the hard drive or how to upgrade windows but I cannot find the answer to my specific question. 
    How do I install windows on my Satellite A305-S6905 after upgrading the hard drive? will the software be in the recovery discs that I made of the laptop? Do I have to contact toshiba for the discs? Will I need to enter a software KEY?

    How do I install windows on my Satellite A305-S6905 after upgrading the hard drive? will the software be in the recovery discs that I made of the laptop? Do I have to contact toshiba for the discs? Will I need to enter a software KEY?
    You don't install anything. You restore the hard disk by laying down all the bytes it needs - one at a time.
    The recovery discs that you created will restore the hard drive to its original factory-new contents. No product key is necessary because that installation is preactivated.
    See the section Hard Disk Drive Recovery using the Recovery media, starting on p. 66 in the User's Guide.
