ITunes on Windows 7 ceased expanding miniplayer after Ctrl   click on thumbnail artwork.

During playback, iTunes used to expand the miniplayer album art, to full screen size, when holding the Ctrl key and clicking on the thumbnail at the top of the screen. Now the same Ctrl + click has no effect. However, after doing it, I get a double icon in the task bar, one for the complete iTunes and another for the full size mini player, except that the full size mini player cannot be found anywhere, only that icon in the task bar. And sure enough, I can click on the x at the corner of this "ghost" icon, and the icon will close, but the explandable album art never shows up. The whole thing is as if iTunes still thinks that it's working just fine, but it's not. This looks like a corrupted registry key would cause it. I tried uninstalling iTunes, rebooting the computer, and reinstalling, but this didn't help. Is this a known issue? Any ideas how to fix it? Thanks for any support.

Same problem here!  Driving me nuts that it is somehow "running" as shown in the task bar, but it is not accessible in any way.

    Hi Roger
    Thank you for your reply.
    My original feed is: http://casa-egypt.com/feed/
    However, because I modified the feed http://feeds.feedburner.com/imananddinasbroadcast and nothing changed, I redirected it to another feed and then I deleted this feed.
    Is there any way to change the feed in itunes? The only feed I have now is  http://feeds.feedburner.com/CasaEgyptStation
    I tried to restore the feed http://feeds.feedburner.com/imananddinasbroadcast but feedburner refused.
    I know that I missed things up but I still have hope in working things out.
    Thanks is advance.

  • Iphone 5s won't sync with itunes on windows 8 - i can see all the tunes in there, artwork etc but they won't play

    Hi
    Hope one of you can help, thanks in advance.......
    windows 8/iphone 5s/latest IOS
    I've synced my iphone with my pc and backed up too and when i go into music on my iphone i can see all the tunes listed on there including album covers etc but when i go to play one of the tunes nothing happens or sometimes the phone goes kind of crazy and seems to scroll through every album (visually) on the phone and then stop?! still without playing any actual music?
    In the apple store they told me to un-sync music and then re-sync which i did but this hasn't worked. although when i had un-synced and went into my phone to check whether music had been removed it was still there (but still didn't play as described above)
    so really i want to know either 1) how to properly delete all the songs from the phone and then re-install them or 2) just get them to sync properly!
    Other info - i transfered itunes to a new pc recently and up until just now, i couldn't play these tunes on itunes on my PC, they opened in some terrible microsoft thing - but i just changed the file associations inside windows and now they play great - just not on my phone as described above - maybe this has something to do with the problem?
    Also, this only applies to music copied from cd-> itunes on pc 1 ->itunes on pc 2-> iphone.   songs purchased from itunes store work fine
    Thanks for reading

    "I was thinking I would just connect my iPhone and all of my music and other stuff would transfer to the new computer. "
    Not true. The music and pic sync is one way - computer to iphone. The only exception is itunes purchases. Without syncing: File>Transfer Purchases
    You really should transfer everything from the old computer, or your backup copy of your computer. Since you do not have access to the old computer, then use your backup copy of the old computer.
    If for some reason you have failed to maintain a backup copy of your computer ( not good), then you would have to transfer itunes purchased as described earlier. Any other itunes content would be lost.
    You can e-mail photo library pics to yourself, but they will not be of the original quality.
    Before syncing, enter at least one unique contact and calendar entry on the computer. When you first sync, then you should get the option to merge the data.

  • Safari 5 Opens but no window comes up? Even after I click open new window.

    So i downloaded Safari 5 form the update and then from the full download install.
    My problem is...
    Safari opens.
    but no window opens.
    I go to the top I click safari and go down to "Open new window"
    Still nothing.
    I click to quit safari.
    It says "0,1,2,3 windows are open in safari do you want to quit anyway?"
    (depending on how many times I clicked to open a new window)
    but even tho it is sayign windows are open my computer doesnt show them anywhere.
    any help people?

    Hi,
    Try launching Safari from your Applicatioms folder instead of the Dock.
    If that doesn't help ...
    Go here for trouble shooting 3rd party plugins or input managers which might be causing the problem. Safari: Add-ons may cause Safari to unexpectedly quit or have performance issues

  • IPhoto 6.0.3 crashes after double-click library thumbnails

    Recently downloaded and installed the iPhoto 6.0.3 update via Software Update. Now, when I double-click on a thumbnail image, it pauses, switches to "viewer" mode, then immediately crashes without any kind of crash dialog; iPhoto just disappears.
    Permissions are fine, and I've been pretty much crash free for months, until now.
    Anyone else having the same issue? Any suggestions?

    Bommer:
    Try the following. It will create an new library from your current one so your old library will remain intact for future fixes if this doesn't work:
    Using iPhoto Library Manager to Rebuild Your iPhoto Library
    Download iPhoto Library Manager and launch.
    Click on the Add Library button, navigate to your User/Pictures folder and select your iPhoto Library folder.
    Now that the library is listed in the left hand pane of iPLM, click on your library and go to the File->Rebuild Library menu option
    In the next window name the new library and select the location you want it to be placed.
    Click on the Create button.
    Note: It can take some time to create the new library if you have a lot of photos. One user reported that with a library of about 5,000 images it took about 12 hours so plan ahead.
    It has worked where other fixes have not. Good luck.

  • I have itunes directory on an external hard drive and want to direct a new installation of itunes on windows 8 to use it. I tried holding down ctrl and clicking itunes and after many tries got it to work one time. When I went back in later it had reverted

    I have itunes directory on an external hard drive and want to direct a new installation of itunes on windows 8 to use it. I tried holding down ctrl and clicking itunes and after many tries got it to work one time. When I went back in later it had reverted back to a blank version of itunes and I cant get ctrl to work again. Any other ideas?

    This is sometimes caused by a problem with the iTunesPrefs.xml file, normally found at C:\Users\<User>\AppData\Local\Apple Computer\iTunes\iTunesPrefs.xml. Try dragging this to the desktop and trying again.
    Alternatively the problem may be that you have McAfee AV and it is preventing iTunes from updating the same file and thus causing the problem. See Why does iTunes delete my itunesprefs.xml? for details.

  • ITunes on Windows only has the music that I purchased after the move

    Hi all,
    I have a Mac Book Pro and I also have a Windows 7 laptop.  The Windows 7 laptop already has the latest version of iTunes installed but the library is empty.  I followed http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4527 to copy my files from my mac to a flash drive.  I then copied my files to my Windows laptop.  Now, all my files are in the Windows laptop.  I held down the shift key while opening iTunes on the Windows laptop and select the iTunes Library.itl file (after renaming it from ._iTunes Library.itl) from copied over from the mac. 
    However, in iTunes on Windows, it is only listing the music that I purchased with the mac but not the music that I manually added to the mac.  I double checked and all the music files (both purchased and manually added) are on the Windows laptop.  Other than manually adding those files on Windows, are there some other library files that I need to copy over from my mac to my windows laptop?
    Thanks in advance,
    Monte

    ,,,after renaming it from ._iTunes Library.itl from copied over from the mac. 
    Where did you get that from? The libray on the Mac should have been called iTunes Library, with or without a .itl extension, but no leading ._ 
    I suspect you need to go back to the Mac and copy the correct file.

  • TS1717 My Itunes will not launch after downloading and I have tried all the troubleshooting for itunes for Windows 7 64-bit. Do I need to system reboot my computer than try to download it again?

    My Itunes will not launch after downloading and I have tried all the troubleshooting for itunes for Windows 7 64-bit. Do I need to system reboot my computer than try to download it again?

    I'm having a very similar issue, paired with iTunes not being able to get online.
    iTunes shows up in processes and then hangs at 17,000 K or so -- sometimes it will start up, but that (if it occurs) is a delay of literal hours.
    Pretty meticulously went through all the 'cannot connect' trouble shooting, and have uninstalled, restarted, and then reinstalled every piece of apple software; issue is just as firm. Starting in safe mode or admin mode don't fix it; signing in as a different user doesn't fix it.
