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.

  • 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?

    Everytime i try to open my itunes, nothing appears on the screen. It says that my itunes is already open but there is nothing on my screen or on my taskbar that relates to itunes.
    some preliminary questions aimed at narrowing in on possible culprits.
    (1) do you have Norton Internet Security 2005 installed on the PC?
    (2) try launching your QuickTime. does it:
    (a) launch perfectly fine?
    (b) fail to launch with an error message? (if so, what does it say?)
    (c) exhibit other peculiar behavior? (if so, could you describe it for us?)
    (3) reboot the PC. bring up your Task Manager, and click on the "Processes" tab. now try to launch itunes again.
    does an "itunes.exe" process appear in the Processes tab? if so, does it persist in there or does it disappear after a few seconds?

  • SD card recognized by computer but does not appear on desktop

    Three SD cards used in a Nikon camera and formatted in the camera. One card shows up on the desktop and files are accessible. The other two show up on the disk utility with accurate sizes and amount of card memory used but show zero files and do not show up on the desktop. All three cards show on the desktop of my iBook G4 with a card reader and have files that can be copied and deleted. All three cards can be erased by Disk Utility on the MacBook Pro. All three are formated MS-DOS, either FAT16 or FAT32. It does not matter if I use a card reader in the USB port or the SD card slot.

    Thank you Niel, for the interest. Have been busy working through the list of to do. It did not show in the General tab. I clicked that box a few times and it removed those remaining ones and returned them, when ticked again. In Disk Utlil it shows and I could get it mounted, but still it did not appear on the Desktop, even after restarting a couple of times.
    So using Applescript and following Pink Mutant Wes. I put the name of the drive in "500" and clicked the run. As yet it still has not appeared on the Desk, but I was at some stage at least able to open it, from Disk Util with the magic mouse and read what was on the drive. Will see how I get on tomorrow with this, as sleep and dreams are beaconing. Dave

  • 5.0 update loads whether I want it to or not, and afterwards is open, but does not appear open on the screen, so I have to uninstall Firefox and reinstall 4.o, which works for a few days until the 5.0 update loads by itself, and I repeat the process.

    After Firefox automatically updates to 5.0, I cannot open Firefox from the desktop icon, because it's apparently already open, yet I don't see it, and can't find it! It has effectively rendered the internet unusable for me until I uninstall Firefox, and then reinstall 4.0 without the update 5.0. This only lasts a few days before it automatically updates again.
    A backup question is, in the event you have no idea what's going on, is how do I prevent 5.0 from automatically installing itself?

    First of all, are you aware that Spry is a dead technology and the code you're wrestling with is over 7 years old and will not work with mobile touchscreen devices (essential in today's web world)?
    Even though it's included in older versions of Dreamweaver, Adobe formally abandoned Spry last year
    http://blogs.adobe.com/dreamweaver/2012/08/update-on-adobe-spry-framework-availability.htm l'
    Point being, few people will advise you to continue along this Spry path.
    You're better off investing your energy in a modern up-to-date menu system.

  • 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.

    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.

  • Firefox runs in background (appear in Task Manager Processes Tab) only and does not appear on Desktop

    I have been using Firefox on my Desktop PC with Windows XP for a long time. However, today possibly due to some virus (I attached an infected flash drive to my PC) a suspicious change in homepage (www.delta-homes.com) of my firefox occurred. Simultaneously an error message of "WinZip" appeared on screen. I figured that there must be some software in "C:\Program Files\" which is also causing problem to my firefox. I opened Program Files and removed that folder named WinZip. (Tried to uninstall it but it won't happen so I had to use "Unlocker" to kill processes this folder was associated with and then deleted the folder.)
    From that point onward, My FireFox started to behave weird. Whenever I click on Firefox icon or access firefox.exe from any source (start menu, quick launch, program files, Run Command), it starts but appears only in "Task Manager Processes Tab". In that Processes Tab, firefox.exe is continuously using 50% of CPU but it does not appear on Desktop at all.
    To go a step further, I uninstalled firefox and tried to re-download from Firefox official website but the download fails in the start saying "Download is interrupted". (See attached Image). So I downloaded a previous version of Firefox (v 34.0) from www.filehippo.com and installed it but the same problem is happening with this version too.
    I am confused and surprised what might be causing this problem. Everything else on PC running fine. Kindly help me restore my Firefox so that I may not lose any precious Bookmarks, Settings and other Data. thanks

    Start your '''Computer''' in safe mode. Then start Firefox. Try '''Safe''' web sites.

  • Iphone icon does not appear on desktop

    iphone icon does not appear on desktop when plugged into my mac, so I can't select it to manage music via the sync method.

    Lyssa - Thank you for your response. I thought that might be the case, but although there is a symbol in the upper right corner that reads "iPhone"  the list of music is my entire iTunes list. I would like to update my music on the phone but can't seem to "see" what is currently there when plugged into my iMac. It all used to be so much easier and user friendly.

  • What is causing this?  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) 4".  This happens everytime I start iTunes lateley.  Help!!!

    Everytime I open iTunes lately...I get all my music thrown out of the library and this annoying message come up...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) 4”.  Is this how an apple works?  It doesn't?  Why all of a sudden is it doing this?  Please help.  Thank you.

  • Firewire icon does not appear on desktop

    My Firewire is connected and turned on but it's icon does not appear on desktop. I ran disk utility and the drive's icon appears there. I can run repair tests on it but not a permissions test. When I checked "Get Info" I noticed a line that reads "OWNER ENABLED: NO". What Can I do--I have a lot of important files on the drive and need to access them. I have also run 3rd party disk utilities that say the firewire drive and all files are 'ok' but still I am not able to access it in any way.

    If disk utility sees the drive then you should be able to choose it from the list and click "Activate" (or "Mount" or whatever it says in English )

  • 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:(
