ITunes launches but does not appear.

When I click on iTunes it launches and the itunes tabs appear on the top of the screen but my library does not appear. Has anyone had this problem? Know how to solve it?

Are you saying that you see the iTunes menu bar across the top but not the library window? Or are you saying that the iTunes library window appears but there is nothing in the library?
If it's the former, it's possible the window is hiding just off screen or underneath your dock. You could turn the dock off or move it temporarily to see if you can find the window. Also...go under the Window menu in iTunes and make sure there's a checkmark next to iTunes. If there's not, select it.
If it's the latter, I really don't know. Have you done a search on your hard drive for a song from your library to see if the folder somehow got moved?

  • Recent iTunes versions launches but does not appear at all

    Hi all,
    I have been through the forum but nothing could help me out. Here is my problem:
    I have an ipod nano video (nano gen 2 i think) and planning on getting an ipod classic 120G. everything worked perfectly on both my computers (1 tower and 1 laptop both under windows XP). Somehow, after last update of itunes everything went wrong. On both cpu iTunes launches (i can see it on the task manager) but nothing appears. Also nothing happens when i plug my ipod in or out...
    I uninstalled / installed other versions many times and finally the only version working is the iTunes 7.0.2 which is not compatible with the new ipods (including mine) therefore i can't upload/take away musics on it etc...
    Any can help out? thxs in advance!

    anyone has anything to say at all??? i'm desperate!!

  • ITunes opens but does not appear on desktop?

    When I open iTunes by dbl clk on the icon, the graphic equalizer pops up on the screen, and if I right click the icon, it will play  recent music from that menu. But...iiTunes does not show up on my screen. I hear the music (garbled) but cannot find iTunes. I have the 11.1.5 version and 10.9.2 OSX on a iMac24. It may be coincidental but, it showed up fine til I recently went to Mavericks. What should I look for to solve this?

    Hello tscacro
    Start with going to the drop down menu, Window > iTunes to see if it pops up the iTunes window so you can view your music again. If that does not work, then download and reinstall iTunes.

  • My ipod works in itunes but does not appear in "my computer" after I changed the properties

    My ipod works in itunes but does not appear in "my computer" after I changed the properties.
    First off, I'm using Windows XP (and Mac SnowLeopard) Here's how it started. For some reason my ipod started showing up as a camera when I plugged it in. It works fine in itunes, though. But when I tried to access it from "my computer" it only
    showed me the one and only picture I had on my ipod. I deleted that picture hoping it would no longer show up as a camera. When it still did I right-clicked on it in "my computer" and selected "properties". Under "autoplay" I
    chose for it to 'not show up' or 'take no action' or some such deal when I plugged it in. I thought that would stop it from popping up the window that asks whether i want to 'open camera wizard' or 'open camera scanning' or 'open folder to view files' or 'take
    no action' , etc. But now it won't show up in "my computer" at all. I also have a Mac with SnowLeopard. When I plugged my ipod into it my ipod doesn't show up in "finder" either! So basically my problem is not a mechanical one with hardware
    or software; yht ipod still works fine in itunes. I just need to undo the change I made. I've searched all around my preferences, utilities, options, etc. It shows up on my "Device Manager" but not on "Disk Management".
    Any help would be very much appreciated. Thanks.

    Hi,
    To show up in Windows Explorer, you can try placing the iPod into
    disk mode.
    Moreover, i recommend you to
    restore ipod to factory settings.
    If this issue still persists, locate to device manager, uninstall and reinstall USB Mass Storage Device driver.

  • HT1386 My iOS device (Ipad mini) only appears in iTunes while cable-connected, but does not appear after diconnect the cable. How can I Wifi sync ?

    Hi, My iOS device (Ipad mini) only appears in iTunes while cable-connected, but does not appear after diconnect the cable. How can I Wifi sync ?
    Documents say
    Whenever the computer and the iOS device are on the same network, the iOS device will appear in iTunes, and you can sync it....
    But I can't see my iPad Mini in iTunes.
    And my  Ipad  (Settings, General, iTunes Wifi Sinc)  shows  a message :" Sync will resume when xxx(my PC with iTunes) is available "...
    Both are in the same network,
      Ipad mini is is plugged in to power
    . iTunes is open on the computer
    what can i Do ???

    Hi Skydiver119,  and tks for four interest.
    I have done exactly as you say, but it does not work for me.
    You indicated  " Navigate to the info tab and scroll down. There'll be a check box for 'sync over wifi' or something to that effect. Check that box and sync to affirm your choice."
    I navigated to Summary tab (not Info Tab) and checked "Sync with this ipad over Wi-Fi"
    I disconnect the wire,
    and my iPad disappears from my iTunes screen.
    in my iPad ->Settings -> General -> iTunes Wi-Fi Sync -> says " Sync will resume when (my PC) is available.
    So, I can not sync via wi-fi
    I appreciate if you can help me.

  • ITunes error: "The file iTunes Library.itl does not appear to be a valid iTunes library file."

    Every couple of weeks I get this iTunes error after connecting iPod Nano 6th generation. Then it deletes my whole iPod content. I am running Windows 7 x64 Enterprise with latest patches, iTunes 10.2.2.14 and McAfee antivirus.
    I tried to reinstall QuickTime + iTunes, clean the system and then reinstall. But this does not work. I also tried to create a brand new library. But no success...
    Error: "The file iTunes Library.itl does not appear to be a valid iTunes library file. iTunes has attempted to recover your iTunes library and renamed this file to iTunes Library (Damaged) 3.itl."
    Any idea?

    No I haven't. I tried almost everything possible but without any remarkable shift. I am about to sell my brand new iPod:(

  • Why has this occurred The file "iTunes Library.itl" does not appear to be a valid iTunes library file. iTunes has created a new iTunes library and renamed this file to "iTunes Library (Damaged)".

    My itunes library suddenly that the file “iTunes Library.itl” does not appear to be a valid iTunes library file. iTunes has created a new iTunes library and renamed this file to “iTunes Library (Damaged)”. I use an external hard drive for my Itunes.

    The library file appears to have been corrupted.  You say you use your external drive but is the whole library on it or only your media?  No matter, you will have to rebuild the library file:

  • I bought a movie from my ipad in itunes and it does not appear

    i bought a movie from my ipad in itunes and it does not appear. It is not inmoovies nor un the purchased items in the itunes app.
    when I plug in my pc macbookpro it shows in my moovies but with an asterisk in front and i can not view it

    - Do you have any Restrictions set that would prevent installing the movie? Settings>general>Restrictions
    - Is the movie compatible with the iPad? There are some 1080 P movies available that are not compatible with the iPad 2
    - On a computer log into your account and go to Purchase History to verify you actually purchased the movie.
    - What movie was it?

  • Epson r800 prints, but does not appear in Printer List: can't use Utilities

    My Epson r800 prints, but does not appear in Printer List. It is connected via USB to the iMac. A Brother LH-2070N is connected via AirPort Extreme. I need to use Utilities to clean the head of cartridge, check levels, etc.. Is there a way to fix this problem?
    iMac   Mac OS X (10.4.9)  

    For your Epson try this:
    Hard Drive, Library, Printers (folder), Epson folder,
    Inkjetprinter folder, Utilities folder and here you
    will find Epson Printer Utility2. Click on it and it
    should work.
    Note. Epson utilities will not work unless the
    Printer is directly connected to the computer.
    Had the same issue with my 2200 photo and the above
    worked.
    Tried again after reinstalling the drivers. There is no separate Inkjet Folder, but the Printer Utility is within the Epson folder. Unfortunately, the r800 still does not appear in the Printer List, hence no utility.

    You add everything to the Panel p but you never add that panel to the applet. What you probably want is to add everything to the applet. An applet is a special kind of panel so you can just change "p" to "this" everywhere in init and remove the declaration of p at the top.
