ITunes is not the active window

Can anyone tell me why when I open iTunes, it is not the active window - this does not seem to be happening with any other application? If there is another window open, it also opens behind this window and is still not the active window?

Greetings AndrewwChinnn,
It sounds as though you are unable to connect to the iTunes Store. I have located an article that can help with the specific error you mentioned:
Apple software on Windows: May see performance issues and blank iTunes Store - Apple Support
Thank you for contributing to Apple Support Communities.

  • How do I stop ALL tabs from going dim when Firefox is not the active WINDOW?

    I think I have read every single post about changing active tab colors, etc, etc. However, where I am frustrated seems to be a little different.
    When Firefox 31 is not the active WINDOW the whole tab bar goes grey (just like the title bar) and the only tab I can read the title of is the active tab. I need to be able to see ALL tab names.
    I don't want to use any add-ons. I just want a simple userChrome.css or about:config option. I have other UI complaints, but this is the only one I care enough about to do anything about. It is making me less efficient, confused, and frustrated.
    Can anyone please help?

    That's good to hear. Good work. Please go to your last post and
    flag it as '''Solved the problem''' so others will know what to do.
    Also, if you want help for the other issues you spoke of,
    Just ask. Good day.

  • Volume goes up two bars when iTunes isn't the active window?

    When I have iTunes as the current window the volume bar goes up and down one bar when I adjust the volume, but when it is an inactive window the volume bar is adjusted by two bars at a time instead of one. How do I fix this?
    Thank you =)

    This is due to a bug introduced or re-introduced in iTunes 7.1 and later for Windows. See this message http://discussions.apple.com/message.jspa?messageID=4435537#4435537 for details of how to work around the problem.
    Note: It also makes the mute button completely unusable.

  • ITunes stops working when it's not the active window and connected to the internet

    Hi,
    I have a problem with iTunes where it crashes, only when the wifi is on and connected to a network.
    Usually it occurs when I click onto another application outside of iTunes.
    I've tried reinstalling both iTunes and the Apple Application Support but the problem still occurs.
    I'm also on Vista if anyone has any ideas that would help?
    ~Jenny

    Along with the audio control surface, this would be a VERY welcome feature in my opinion.
    For those concerned about CPU drain, it should be possible to turn this feature on or off.
    When I'm editing fluidly in FCP I do in fact leave the timeline playing whilst I go to other windows to select an effect, tweak a bit of audio or even move to a different app - there's nothing unusual about this at all.
    Ultimately we all have our own ways of editing, but trust me, when you've been used to (and seen the benefit of) an NLE 'feature' you really miss it when the manufacturer chooses not to include it.
    Thanks

  • Having issues with setting the "Active Window"

    Hello List,
    I've got a LV installation that runs three LV created EXE's simultaneously. In the "top level" application, the user enters a product model number (by way of a PS2 barcode scanner) to be tested, and that application looks at our network to see if there is a test recipe for the product. If there is, it hides and moves itself to the bottom and maximizes and moves to the top EXE number two. On EXE number two, the user is supposed to scan the product serial number. But on occasion, EXE number two is not the active window, even though it is the frontmost and maximized, so the scan from the barcode reader doesn't go into the field. (Looking at the Taskbar at the bottom of the screen, the task for the frontmost & maximized EXE is not "depressed")  A simple mouse click anywhere on the window will make it active, but the users don't have a mouse (or keyboard) (I am able to "remote in" from another computer using a product line "PC Anywhere). I have tried using the "mouse_event" from user32.dll in a "Call Library Function Node", but that doesn't seam to work reliably.
    So my first question is, will the "mouse_event" from user32.dll even fire if my computer doesn't have a mouse plugged in?
    And, if not, does anyone have any better ideas?
    Thanks in advance,
    Mike

    I'm guessing that it would, because Windows has a cursor even if there's no mouse plugged in, but I haven't tried it.
    As for the second question, you could try what I posted here, although you'll probably want to clean up the code - http://lavag.org/topic/12751-how-do-you-make-your-​application-window-frontmost/?p=76308

    What Windows version?

  • My itunes will not open in Windows Vista, I have tried everything suggested on the apple website, there is some type of plug-in issue..can someone please help me?

    Hello, 
    I need help! My itunes will not open in Windows Vista. I have tried everything suggested by the apple website. Even when I open itunes in safe mode, it still will not allow me to continue. I am assuming when it says something about Plug-ins that has something to do with the problem. Can anyone help me?

    Thanks King_Penguin for taking time to read and reply. 
    I just purchased this movie on Thursday, May 15, so just a few days ago.  I have never had any trouble whatsoever since I have been in Vietnam.  I have downloaded several movies and even music and they have all synced to my respected Apple products except for this purchase. 
    Sorry, I don't quite understand what you mean by studios and different versions.  Could you please explain? 
    I checked my purchased list in my purchase history under my account and there are no hidden items. 

  • So apparently Itunes is not compatible with Windows 8.  Are you planning on fixing this problem any time in the near future?

    So apparently Itunes is not compatible with Windows 8.  Are you planning on fixing this problem anytime in the near guture?

    Hey kriscro2,
    Thanks for the question. iTunes 11.1.4 is compatible with Windows 8, as outlined on the System Requirements page:
    Apple - iTunes - Download iTunes Now
    http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
    If you are having issues installing iTunes on your Windows 8 computer, see this resource:

  • ITunes 9 Keeps popping up as the active windows!

    I'm extremely annoyed that iTunes continues to pop back up as the active window no matter what. I can't get any work done! What is causing this to happen?

    Hello - I had this same problem after a fresh install of windows 7....drove me crazy...I noticed that windows had installed my soundcard automatically, without the factory drivers. I downloaded and updated the original drivers for my soundcard, and it fixed the problem. I don't know if this will work for everyone, but it worked for me....hope it helps someone else. I am using a realtek onboard soundcard on a gigabyte board.

  • Restart current song while iTunes is not the current active app

    In prior iTunes 11 / Mtn. Lion when using an Apple keyboard the F7 key when pressed would re-start a song that was playing with one press, and go to the previous with 2. This functionality has changed so that now it will go to the previous track with one press.
    Is there a way to change the functionaly back or, add a separate key command that allows me to restart the current song when iTunes is not the currently active app?
    Thanks!

    I have a SteelSeries Shift keyboard, and experienced the same problem after updating to 10.4.
    Found this little piece of software to fix the problem for me:
    http://code.google.com/p/hktunes/
    It's not ideal, as it has to run in the system tray in order to work, but it's way better than being without the functionality of the hotkeys, untill the problem is fixed.
    Hope this works for you guys as well!

  • RSBBS - New transcation is NOT opened as the active window

    Hello experts,
    I'm calling an R/3 transaction from a Bex query.
    The problem is that the new transaction is opened in a new window which is not the active one.
    The active window remains in the Bex window.
    Does anyone have a clue how to give the new R/3 window focus and make it the active one ?
    Hope I was clear.
    Thanks in advance, Amir.

    Hi Amir,
    First you go to following path
    C:/Windows/System32/drivers/etc/host
    open host file in notepad and
    add your server IP, name & Fully Qualified Domain Name like abc.xyz.com
    then save it.

  • After round trip to CS5 Aperture is not becoming the active window

    After I complete my edits in CS5 I command W and save and the file returns to aperture with adjustments etc but aperture doesnt become the active window so I have to click on it to start off the next part of my workflow. Unless I am mistaken there is something going wrong here as before when i used aperture on completion of the round trip I was back active in an active window where I started off. Anyone got any idea's with what I am doing wrong?  E

    If you were using CS5 and Aperture in SL, I think you are mistaken.  There is nothing about those keystrokes to cancel CS5 being the front application.  If you close CS5, then Aperture will be the front application, assuming you have not interimly opened another app.  I would not expect it to be different in Lion.  My use of Lion is currently testing another external editior, so haven't installed my Adobe Design Premium suite in Lion yet, but would not expect different behavior from that in SL.

    IPad constantly reboots every 2-3 minutes, after full recovery is not activated to  wi-fi, and Itunes - for 20 days, Itunes says that the activation was not possible because the server is not available try again later.

    Hello this is happening to us also (minus the Bluetooth speaker).  We can't figure out what is causing the data usage.  I turned off mobile data as soon s I activated the device, and got the message that unless I am connected to WiFi.....(that is exactly what I wanted). We watched Netflix for about three hours, then the alerts started.  Like you we have many devices connected and never used over 2GB now all of a sudden we have used it in a matter of hours.  My husband called Verizon  and got the usual doubting Thomas response.  I understand that they don't know my device settings.  So over the phone we check all the settings and turned  off every possible culprit eating up the data and end the call.  By now I have purchased another gig for the month!  Assured we are NOT using mobile data, we continue on the IE path to bliss.  HA!  A few hours later I check the mobile data usage on the Verizon website and that darn thing is still using data.  After two more phone calls and two VERY uneventful trips to the local store we were told to take out the sim card.  This has stopped the data usage, but it defeats the purpose of having the data plan.  I could have just stuck with my Surface.  Verizon sent us a new sim card.  Its been installed and I have set my homepage to Verizon mobile data usage (just kidding) but I am on that site a lot.   I am surprised at the number of complaints about this device.  When we called the Verizon support acted as though this was the first time they had heard about this.   Loved your post, you should write for a living.
