ITunes buttons are screwed up!

after installing iTunes 7 on my Mac, the buttons on the bottom (repeat, shuffle, etc) are all screwed up, and I have no idea how to fix it. Heres what I mean:

Plug it into your computer. Go to iTunes. Click on the iPod icon in the sidebar of iTunes. Click on the Summary tab. Click on the restore button. This will delete everything from your iPod, so you will have to re-sync all movies, music, pictures, contacts and anything else you have on it. If you are using the disk-mode option, it will wipe all this data too, so be sure to back these files up before you embark on the restore procedure.
If none of this works, and the buttons have failed rather than the iPod just needing to be restored then it is still under warranty if you only purchased it in October. You will almost certainly qualify for repair or replacement if the iPod is faulty. This may not be the case if the iPod shows any sign of damage due to damaged as a result of being dropped etc
And you can always work your way through the Apple hints at the following link:

If this doesn't resolve the problem, you should probably get in touch with Apple Support:

Good luck

Itunes buttons are all grey and not clickable

I just updated my itunes to and none of my music is there. Okay. So I went to put it back in my itunes library and it acts if if its transferring to the library then doesnt show up. So I transferred the purchases from my ipod and it did the same thing. Still no music. It wont let me change tabs. My ipod is hooked up and synable but I cannot click on my ipod. the button is grey. As are the songs, albums, artists and so ons buttons. The only things that I can click on are the file, edit and view buttons and the square menu button in the top left corner. This is very frustrating and not the first time this has happened. It happened on my laptop yesterday and then my laptop crashed and has a corrupted sytem startup file.

Hi Ahlixxer!
I have an article here that can help you with this issue. It is about what steps to take when you've updated iTunes and no content appears in your iTunes library, and can be found here:

Firefox 3.6.17 navigation buttons are screwed up.. screenshot

It just started like this for no apparent reason. I didn't install any extensions or change settings for it to have happened that I can recall. I can't really find words to explain it, just look at the screenshot:

Upgrade to the latest version of Mozilla Firefox or 3.6. See here: http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all-older.html

I am trying to help my mother build her iTunes library. I want to transfer files from my iTunes to hers. I have tried HomeSharing, but the "Show/Import" menu buttons are nowhere to be seen on either of our computers. We have PCs, not MacBooks.

I want to import some of my iTunes files to my mother's iTunes account so she doesn't have to pay again to get them. We are going on a trip soon, and she wanted some movies to watch on here iPad. Some of the movies, I already have. I can't seem to do anything. Homesharing has been useless, because while her iTunes can 'see' my iTunes and vice versa, the magic "Show" and more importantly the magic "Import" buttons are nowhere to be seen. How in the **** am I supposed to share my files if I can't import them to her library for her? I have seen many solutions for people using iTunes on a MacBook, but we don't have MacBooks in our house. I have a Samsung laptop and Mom has a Gateway laptop, and both operate on Windows 7. Seriously. This should not be impossible, but right now, it seems that way. Does anyone have any suggestions?

Will iTunes allow me to do this? I'm not really all that familiar with Windows computers. I have recently had to move to a PC because my $3000 macBook Pro died one month after the warranty was up. How could I get iTunes to accept media from another computer?

TS3297 when I press the iTunes button on my ipod touch I get the message 'cannot connect to iTunes store' . My wifi is working fine, I can connect to safari & you tube, no parental setting in place, and time and date are correct. Can anyone help please?

When I press the iTunes button on my ipod touch I get the message 'cannot connect to iTunes store' . My wifi is working fine, I can connect to safari & you tube, no parental setting in place, and time and date are correct. Can anyone help please? I have restored my ipod to factory settings and rest it.

I also tried moving the date forward by a year and then moving it back to normal and it still doesn't work. i can't find an automatic update of time zones on my itouch to turn this off.

ITunes will not install any (downloaded) apps: the install buttons are grey.

I have installed iTunes 12.0.1.26 on my (up-to-date) Windows 7 64 bit machine. I have successfully downloaded several apps from the app store. Now I would really like to install those apps on my iPhone 4s iOS 8.1.2, but iTunes wil not allow me to do so (nor on my iPod). It recognizes my iPhone, it shows me my apps, but the 'install' buttons are grey (i.e. they are not clickable). I have authorized my computer and installed iTunes as an administrator.
I searched this site and found a solution to a similar problem, but unfortunately that solution will not work here. The solution was to double click on one of the apps in 'my apps' and then authorize my computer, but when I double click on an app nothing happens at all. Well, it gets selected (blue), but that is all. So iTunes just isn't working properly, but I don't know how to correct it.
I really hope to get some help with this problem. Thanks in advance!

Ah, not sure what I was thinking at time.
You may want to try some of the troubleshooting steps in iTunes repeatedly prompts to authorize computer to play iTunes Store purchases. It may help to deauthorize and then reauthorize the computer. I suspect the double-click the app advice doesn't work with iTunes 12. Nothing interesting happened when I tried. If you have any protected media it might be worth confirming that it will play.
Is this a new library with respect to the device? If so see Recover your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device.

When I select my iPod touch in iTunes the buttons are inactive when I try to sort by name, artist etc. Also about half of the links under 'file' etc are not active.

Further to my question, when I plug in and select my iPad 2 I don't have the same problem. I have restored the settings on my iPod Touch and updated both iTunes and iPod Touch software and restarted my iPod touch. Nothing has made any difference.

After upgrading to the latest itunes, the text associated with syncing a device is gone. The buttons are there but no text. Also the toolbar for iTunes has disappeared.

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:

Razmee,
Guess what? After posting, I read another thread on this topic where someone said they went to an Apple store and the tech person there added the optional username and password in the Outgoing Mail Server boxes, and then reset the phone again. Although I had tried resetting and restarting a few times today, I had NOT reset it after entering the username and password into the optional fields.
When I entered my username and password into the optional fields, the iPhone entered checks (ticks) to the right of every entry; it had not done this earlier. (I didn't reset at this time, and the outgoing mail would still not transmit).
So just now, I reset it and the outgoing email was sent!
Thanks to you and this forum, it's a great ending to a few frustrating days.
I hope this message helps others. Not only does everything have to be entered correctly in the respective boxes; but once everything is entered and you press the "Done" button, every box should then have a check mark next to it and then you must reset the phone.

All iPad buttons are not working even after resetting it (hard, soft and via iTunes).

All iPad 2 buttons are not working even after I resetting it. I tried both of the hard and soft reset, and even resetting my iPad via iTunes.
The volume buttons work after I tried this method : "hold iPad in landscape mode. Push the home button while rotating it to Portrait mode, release it."

I have the same issue, nothing I did fixed the problem, I would suggest if you can visit apple store and give us your feedback with them.
for me I can't go to apple store because I don't have any store near me, I will have to wait for 2 months to travel!

My ipod has stopped responding there is nothing on the screen just light is glowing and the screen is black and none of the buttons are responding and even the ipod is not connecting to itunes?what to do help.....

i cant restore and the buttons are not responding?

- Try a reset Nothing is lost.
Reset iPod touch: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Then connect to your computer and see if yo can restore the iPod.
- Next, place the iPod in recovery mode and then try to restore. for recovery mode se:
iPhone and iPod touch: Unable to update or restore
- If screen is still on, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an hour try the above again. If the screen is still on then it is time for an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since you likely have a hardware problem.

Hold button is sticking and wheel buttons are going on iPod nano 5th generation

I have four iPods. One 30gb classic that doesn't work at all. Another inoperable one is a 2 gb (dropped in water) nano that they don't make anymore. Another is an 8 gb touch, and the last is a 16gb nano 5th generation. My main concern is the 16gb nano. The hold switch is sticking sometimes, and the previous and menu buttons are not working. The previous button went first, now the menu button has been going out. I have to press it 6 or 7 times sometimes more. I saw the support document stating that it was being pressed during calibration after switching it off of hold, but I don't think that is it. I am going to try the r's after their advice doesn't work. I am waiting for the next button to start doing it and then the play/pause. There is no problem with the wheel as far as volume or selection. I have taken excellent care of this device, and I am hoping they recall like they did with the first gen nano. I am crossing my fingers! There is barely a scratch on it.
BTW, the 5th gen classic I have was doing really weird stuff. It would play after being completely charged. But, if you changed albums or songs at all, it would go to the reset screen with the apple logo and freeze up. I think I am going to get a new battery, I hope it works. I have almost 100gb of music, 16 doesn't quite cut it anyway. It also won't recognize this device in iTunes. So, the troubleshooter is no help.

1. Go to the iTunes Store. In the bar that goes across the window, click on iTunes U. These are lectures and other material contributed by many educational institutions. They are free.
2. I don't know. But once it is on your iTunes library, you can change the Media Kind by doing a Get Info on the item in iTunes. On the Options tab of the Info window, set the Media Kind to Audiobook.
3. I don't know. You'll probably know tomorrow...
4. No. I can't think of a way to do that, not as a voice memo recording. If you can convert the voice memo recording from the iPhone into an MP3 or AAC file, you can add it to your iTunes library as a song. You could then sync it to the iPod, like you would with any song file.
