No art work in iTunes, lots of broken chain icons

When we start up iTunes and go to the iTunes store, no artwork or photographs appear, and in their place there are "broken chain" icons. In addition the iTunes Store window is without color; it is black & white & gray. The store seems to work normally otherwise. Does anyone know the problem/solution?

Sounds like there is a firewall or web accelerator blocking part of the store. This article should help:

"Broken chain link" icon appears when trying iTunes store

It's really slow going trying to reach the store right now. When I do, I get all these broken chain link icons in place of pictures. Also, my podcasts are loading in a lightning-fast 45 minutes each. This is a fairly new developement, it's been about a week now. I can't find much helpful info around the forums so far. Anyone?

I have a few questions since most likely we will have to figure this out on our own. I have this problem occur a few times in a day however it is random.
My system:
Vista Ultimate 32bit
Antivirus: Kaspersky Internet Security 8.0
Web browswer: Exporer 8.0.6
Video Card: Nvidia GeForce 9600GT
Ram: 4GB
Genius Settings: off
Itunes View: Cover Flow
Keyboard / Mouse: Logitech bluetooth MX5500
I have also experienced very sluggish performance with itunes store browsing/serach and have yet to figure that out. It started with Itunes 7
If we can find a common issue we may be able to figure this out as a group.

Broken chain picture links on my itunes store account

When I pull up my iTunes store there are no pictures and instead there is a grey outline of where the picture should be and a broken chain. What does this mean and how do i fix it??
Really annoying!!!

Thanks Nick - but why is the iTunes Store okay on the other (main admin) user's account running off of the same HD? I think it's a Quicktime (component) thing but don't know why and still don't know how to fix the broken link problem in my iTunes Store account. Have re-downloaded QT 7.5 but still no joy. It seems that all the QT components are there and okay when logged into the main user's account but when I switch to mine all the QT components have "no entry signs" on them presumably meaning that I do not have the correct permissions to access them. Have tried changing all the 'Sharing & Permissions' preferences to 'Read & Write' privilege's but to no avail. Have also tried copying duplicates of all the components through the sharing folder but it just reverses the problem. Have also tried copying all the QT components through my iDisk but again no joy. They just seem to turn into 'folders' with "no entry signs" icon'd on them. Arrrrgggghhhhh!!!

HT4527 My laptop that currently has my itunes library on it is broken and so I can not access it. Is there a way of getting my whole music library put onto a different laptop?

My laptop that currently has my itunes library on it is broken and so I can not access it. Is there a way of getting my whole music library put onto a different laptop?

You can have two separate libraries, just do not put them into the same location on the computer. You could also create a new user on the laptop, you, and then you would start out with a blank iTunes library, then just add yours to that. It would also prevent you and your girlfriend from mixing content up unless you share an Apple ID.

I have just clicked on my iTunes desktop icon and got the following message "The file iTunes Library.itl" cannot be read because it was created by a newer version of iTunes. Why has this occurred when it working fine?

I have just clicked on my iTunes desktop icon and got the following message "The file iTunes Library.itl" cannot be read because it was created by a newer version of iTunes. Why has this occurred when it working fine? Is it best to update iTunes to 10.2 to attempt to resolve? Initially I got the prompt Quicktime was out of date so I updated that successfully in all programs. I do not want to lose my iTunes library.

Sorted problem updated and reinsatlled and restarted computer.

HT201210 on my iPad I get an image of the USB connection and an arrow pointing to the itunes icon for a few seconds then it switches off. connected to itunes via USB get a message that itunes has detected an ipad in recovery mode must restore when i do

When I havent got my ipad connected to a power supply I get an image on my ipad of the usb cable with an arrow pointing to a itunes icon and no matter what you try and do iyt stays on that for a few seconds and then switches off the ipad, connecting it through usb into itunes on my PC (XP) this image says on the screen but I get a message on itunes saying itunes has detected an ipad in recovery mode and mneeds to be restored - when I fire off the restore through itunes after a few minutes it comes back and says it cannot restore and give an error message 1603. I have also repeated the process through my wife's laptop (Vista) and get the same situation -it is an 32GB Ipad 3 purchased last November - any ideas ?

Try and turn off iPad/iPod and proceed to step 3 of Recovery Mode.
Recovery Mode
1. Disconnect the USB cable from the device, but leave the other end of the cable connected to your computer's USB port.
2. Turn off the device: Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button for a few seconds until the red slider appears, then slide the slider. Wait for the device to turn off.
3.While pressing and holding the Home button, reconnect the USB cable to the device. The device should turn on.
4. Continue holding the Home button until you see the "Connect to iTunes" screen. When this screen appears, release the Home button. iTunes should alert you that it has detected a device in recovery mode. Click OK, and then click Restore to restore the device.
Note: Data will be lost. You may have to repeat the above many times.

I have downloaded itunes numerous times with no success. When I click the icon it says that "itunes has stopped working" and then says that "itunes was not installed properly. It provides an error message code, but it overlayed by another message.

I downloaded itunes. It initially indicated that the download was successful, however, when I click the itunes icon, it says "ituns was not installed properly". It then gives me the message "itunes has stopped working"

Not completely sure. But if you think it is an iTunes issue...... follow through this: Removing and reinstalling iTunes, QuickTime, and other software components for Windows Vista or Windows 7
ALSO, if you feel like all your music will be gone as well follow through these 2:
> Downloading past purchases from App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
> How to use your iPod to move your music to a new computer
IF YOU THINK ITS A COMPUTER ISSUE, RESTART YOUR COMPUTER BEFORE DOING ALL THIS.

Let's try a repair install of iTunes.
Restart the PC first.
If you're using Vista or 7, now head into your Uninstall a program control panel, select "iTunes" and then click "Repair".
If you're using XP, head into your Add or Remove Programs control panel, select "iTunes", and click "Change". Select "Repair" and click "Next" as per the following screenshot:
Can you launch your iTunes now?

Broken chain icon

Downloded new iTune release but now I cant enter my country music store(italy). In Music Store section, my country is now shown with a broken chain: what does it means? With previous versions everithing worked well for years...... Somebody may please help?

Not likely: 600x600 is the specified size, but the Store will display images in odd sizes too, though it may distort them. It's probably just the same glitch that is annoying a lot of other people, though as the OP hasn't given us any details it's not possible to check whether it's something wrong at his end.

IPhone 3GS (iOS4) has iTunes/USB icon and won't even sync!

I have an iPhone 3GS. I was updating from iOS4 to iOS 4.0.1. in iTunes. At the end of the iTunes update I got a dialog box that says "iTunes has detected an Iphone in recovery mode. You must restore this iPhone before it can be used with iTunes." Then I got the iTunes with white USB icon on the face of my iPhone! When I try to sync with iTunes it says that I need to wipe my phone!
I restarted my computer. Repaired permissions. Rebooted the iPhone several times (and still get the iTunes/USB icon), tried to sync with iTunes. It won't work. I don't want to wipe my phone.
Help!

Try altering the tag for the ringtone: right-click on a ringtone in iTunes and select Get Info, go to the Info tab and make a slight change to the Artist, tap OK and try syncing again. If it transfers to your phone do the same for the others.

ITunes Store graphics showing up only as broken chain.

All of the graphics on my iTunes Store are showing up as broken chains and the buttons (Subscribe, Buy Now, etc.) are red "x"s. I installed the new iTunes, thinking this was the problem, but it still isn't showing up as anything.

You need to go to your software update and update to the latest version of Quicktime. I had the same issue and once I updated to the latest version of Quicktime, the graphics all showed up again and it worked fine.

Has anyone downloaded IOS 7 but the Itunes Radio icon did not appear?

Has anyone downloaded IOS 7 but the Itunes Radio icon did not appear?

Very disappointing that I could only find out that iTunes Radio would not being availabe outside the US in this Forum. Shouldn't this important info have been mentioned in the 'official' communications/advertisements? Or does this imply that...for Apple, customers outside the US just do not matter?

ITunes has encountered an error but quicktime isnt broken

Ok so everytime I try to open iTunes i get a message that says "itunes has encountered an error and needs to close. sorry for the inconvenience" but my quicktime opens with no problem.
soo my dad said i shouldnt make a new account unless i absolutely have to.. so i havent ahhahh but his account is an administrative account and the iTunes opens in his account no problem, but of course all my songs and ipod stuff is on my account.
Tell me if you still need me to make the new account and I will.
Thanks for your help

hi Cecelia!
(warning in advance, this is experimental territory.)
hmmmmm. okay, sometimes with these weirder "open in one account but not in the other" errors, the problem is to do with registry permission settings. it can sometimes be a bear to track down which particular settings need to be checked. the Stejskal family (who couldn't get either itunes or QT to launch in some of their accounts) managed to get itunes and quicktime working in all the accounts by editing permissions in the following way:
http://discussions.apple.com/click.jspa?searchID=-1&messageID=810602
the trick for me was getting up the nerve to "fiddle" with the registry...the reason why the girls could not get access to iTunes/QT was down to permission...once I got one going I went back in to HKEY-MACHINE\SOFTWARE\apple computer, inc\Quicktime...click to highlight go to edit, permission and added the missing girls to the list of who is allowed...made sure they have full permission..apply, ok and "bobs your uncle" all is now well in stejskal home.
since in your case (unlike the stejskals) QT is actually launching in your account, the relevant permissions may actually be fine for QT, but not for itunes. so some investigation of the actual registry permissions on your PC may be required. it might be wise to start by comparing and contrasting the permissions in QT and the permissions in itunes, for example.
(probably something that you should get your father to experiment with, though, if he's the only person with an administrator account on that PC.)
if no joy with that, let's try experimenting to see if itunes will open in a new user account for you.
keep us posted.
love, b
