ITunes menue completely gray, window does not appear

iTunes 10 does not start appropriately anymore. I just have the menue but it is amlost fully grayed out. I am not able to close iTunes anymore (except killing it)
I have tried the following after some internet research about similar problems:
1) uninstll flip4mac
2) delete library data
3) install osx "new" and update to latest verstion
4) downgrade to iTunes 9 (similar effect here!)
Since iTunes 9 results in the same problems I suppose there is some problem with the operating system, but also here I am not able to find a solution in the web so far.
It is interesting that I am able to play the songs I have listened to lately by opening the context menue from the iTunes logo in the dock.
Does somebody know this problem and has a solution for it?
OSX Snow Leopard, latest update October 20 2010
MacBook Pro 2.8 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo
8GB RAM
256GB SDD Harddrive

Yes I know. However, in Vienna there are just authorized dealers and they are not quiet as competent and helpful as the people in the Apple stores. So I was hoping to get some ideas here.

ITunes proxy authorisation window does not appear (and account is being blocked randomly)

Many users have iTunes installed on their PC. iTunes requires proxy authorization to connect to internet. Appropriate popup window appears when opening iTunes and trying to open some internet-based page there. Entering current AD account credentials helps to connect. There is also a checkmark there allowinf to save credentials for further use (and do not show this window anymore). When AD password is changed - this popup window does not appear again and user's account is being blocked (because iTunes tries to connect proxy with old credentials). The question is: is it possible to reset proxy settings, stored somewhere inside iTunes somehow? Just to return proxy authorization window back. Did you have such an experience? If you caould share any knowledge - it would be great.

How do i delete duplicates from my music library. After updating my iTunes the "Show Duplicates" option does not appear in the menu

If you are on Version 11.0.1 rather than 11 Apple put it back in
View > Show Duplicates
Option + View > Show Exact Duplicates
so if you are on 11 upgrade to 11.0.1 and you will have it

Tunes: How to move [or copy] your music to a new computer [or another drive] - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4527
Quick answer if you use iTunes default preferences settings: Copy the entire iTunes folder (and in doing so all its subfolders and files) intact to the other drive. Start iTunes with the option (shift on Windows) key held down and guide it to the new location of the library.

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.

Check number confirmation window does not appear and checks become confirmed automatically

We have updated to SAP 9.10.105 PL 00,
and we have two issues with check printing, first when we print check we do not receive a confirmation window and all of the checks show as being confirmed. as soon as be print checks in the payment wizard after the checks have printed we than get an error message.
"no matching records found 'checks for payment' (OCHO) (ODBC 2028) [message 131-183]
the second problem is if I set over flow to blank paper, it will only print one check at a time, and i still do not receive a confirmation window.
I am not sure if the original patch for 8.8 was left out of the 9.1 release.

Thanks for this, I found this after posting a message with SAP Support. Just a heads up, they consider it as 'Consulting' function not an 'Application Error' so they will not be a fix. We'll just need to know to make sure users know to un-check this Box.

Advance Search window does not appear.

Advance Search window does not appear. I see that several others have asked this question, but no one has received a good answer about how to solve it. I have tried reinstalling but it does nothing. Has anyone managed to fix this?

Hey billiec47282142,
Could you please let me know what version of Acrobat are you using.
You might need to press "Shift+Ctrl/Command+F" for Windows/MAC to open Advanced Search Window.
Are you doing the same thing?
Let me know.

Login Window does not appear

(I am on a different computer) When i turn on my macbook, the apple logo appears, the progress wheel moves, and it switches to the blue screen. Once there the login window does not appear and the mouse pointer shows up and fades soon after. Sometimes a progress wheel displays but it does not change anything. What can I do?

First, try booting the Mac in Safe Mode. To do so, hold down the shift key as you turn it on and continue holding it until you see the spinning gear below the Apple logo. Be patient -- booting in safe mode can sometimes take 10 minutes or longer.
If that does not work, insert the first of the two recovery DVDs that came with your computer and start the Mac while holding down the C key. Once it boots, run Disk Utility and verify both the disk and disk permissions. See if that solves your problem.

If i open a new window instead of a new tab, in the new window does not appear the menu tab

i want to open new windows instead of tabs and in the new window should appear the menu tab and scrolling up and down, but now with the new version the menu tab does not appear and i cannot scroll up and down.

Do you mean opening a window via the File menu (File > New Window) or do you always want to open links that you click on web pages in a new window?

Application opens, but window does not appear on screen

I upgraded my tunes from v6.0 to v6.01.
When I open the application, the black arrow appears next to the itunes icon in the dock, however, the window does not open on my desktop.
I have tried opening the application from its source in the applications folder, and have tried to open songs from the itunes library. Neither of which work.
I dumped the application, and downloaded it again.. and still am unable to get it to work..
How can i fix this problem?
Thanks.

Audio Mixer Window Does Not Appear

I have been using Premiere Elements for years in various versions (current project in V8, just downloaded V9 trial. Tonight I went to use the Audio Mixer function and found that when I click on Audio Mixer in the dropdown menu it does not appear. I then downloaded the V9 trial and have the same issue.
Its hard to believe that I have not tried to do audio mixer functions in V8. But the last time I used the audio mixer in Premiere Elements it was accessed with a small button and worked find. Perhaps that was version 7. I have no memory of when I upgraded from 7 to 8.
Help! Why will the audio mixer window not appear?

I tried to access the Mixer from both the drop down menu below the right side panel and top of the interface on 8.0. Then I loaded 9.0. Same test same result first time around.
Then I read your note and tried both places again and the top of the interface worked in 9.0! Now both locations work in both versions. Weird.
Thanks very much for the response.

Comment window does not appear.

Not repeatable with consistency.. gottit - Firefox never (what's that tell ya?)
I have almost always been frustrated by Safari when dealing with gobs of client-side script computing as is always the case at FB - yes sometimes it requires abandoning the session as you describe... thus Firefox for me - even Firefox gets sluggish at times (likely on the FB side) but always succeeds.
You can easily export/import bookmarks to another browser, if that's what's stopping you from switching to a more reliable browser experience. Or, it's not that tough to just fire up Firefox, Chrome. etc. for your FB needs.
best regards

HT201343 I have a Late 2011 model 13' Macbook Pro and i purchased Apple TV because it should support Airplay mirroring. It says i should have the airplay icon on my menu bar but it does not appear.

According to the help page i was viewing my Late 2011 13' MacBook Pro should support Airplay Mirroring. However the airplay icon does not appear on my menu bar like i says it should and when i go to System prefereneces>Display nothing appears there about Mirroring as well (like it says it should). The help page specifically says that Late 2011 MacBook Pros should support Mirroring etc...
Any suggestions? I'm all ears...

Welcome to the Apple Community.
Airplay needs 10.8 or later, you need to update your operating system.
