ITunes opens on my Mac but i cannot see the window.

I've had my Mac for over a year now, and iTunes has been working perfectly until the other day.
The bar at the top of the screen changes to the iTunes one when i open iTunes, but the actual iTunes window doesn't appear.
You can however still play music and control iTunes by holding down on the iTunes symbol in the dock and going on "play", "next" etc...
I can't update my iPod or anything so it's a bit annoying. Does anyone know what could be causing this and how the problem can be fixed?
Thanks.

I am having the same problem. I have reinstalled iTunes and I have also deleted it and reinstalled it. Same problem. You are right, it will play, although I can't see to pick something, it just plays what ever it is on.
Please help!! This is running me insane...............
I ran the applescript to resize it to no avail.
I am running OS X - 10.5
I have the latest version of iTunes (just downloaded off of the apple website)
4GB RAM
500GB hard drive
Macbook Pro 2.4 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo
This is also a new OS X install.
Thanks in advance

Welcome to the Apple community.
A number of people have reported similar issues recently, many appear to have found a discrepancy of some kind in their account settings and making changes to these settings or simply resetting them has resolved the matter.
Check your account details are correct, check that you are using the correct details for Location, Region and Time Zone. You may want to change these settings and then change them back to see if that helps.
You might also try logging out of and then back into your iTunes account (Settings > iTunes Store > Apple ID’s > Sign Out) and restarting your router. (Some have reported that after doing this, they need to check for rentals even though it may report that there aren’t any, after which rentals once again appear in the ‘movies’ feature)
Rentals should appear under their own heading in the ‘Movies’ feature, you might also check at Settings > iTunes Store > Check For Rentals.

HT1933 I bought six songs using my itunes gift card in February but I cannot play the songs or downlaod them to my ipod because I get an error saying the original file could not be found. I have used the gift card previously with no issue. How do I fix

I bought six songs using my itunes gift card in February but I cannot play the songs or downlaod them to my ipod because I get an error saying the original file could not be found. I have used the gift card previously with no issue. How do I fix it?

Have you moved or deleted those tracks on your computer (the gift card has got nothing to do with it) ?
You might be able to re-download them via the Purchased link under Quick Links on the right-hand side of the iTunes store home page on your computer's iTunes (re-downloading isn't possible in all countries) - if those songs appear there then delete the entries from your iTunes library (where you are clicking on them to play them and gettinf the 'original file' error), and they should then get a cloud symbol against them for re-downloading.
If they don't appear in that link then have you got them on, for example, an external drive ?

While back i purchased some music videos , i see them on my purchases but i cannot see the full videos why??? only like 30seconds

Hello, while back I purchased some music videos , I see them on my purchases but I cannot see the full videos why??? only like 30seconds.

You have just experienced what Apple and ITunes is
designed to do. Prevent you from sharing purchased
music from ITunes. That's the way it is suppose to
work. Now, do your purchased songs play using ITunes.
Play them, see if you get any warning. Next reload
the songs again on your IPOD. Before disconnecting,
locate the songs on your IPOD using ITunes and
attempt to play them. Do they play. If they do you
can properly disconnect your IPOD.
Yes, they do play in iTunes. (And just in case you don't know, I am on my home computer where I originally set up my iPod.) When I hook up my iPod to my computer the songs are there on my ipod, while veiwing it on iTunes, and they play, they just won't play on my iPod. And no, I don;t get an authorization window that pops up when I play the song/video, they play automatically

Installing the "Update" installs a totally new version. The old version of Photoshop CC is still installed. It is likely you are running the old version.

I downloaded the latest iTunes software update and it properly installed. But, I cannot close the update window showing it was completed and the blue completion bar is full but cannot cancel or close it either. Any ideas on how to clear that out and close the window. Tried to quit on both the big window and the software update title in the menu bar. No luck.

Tried that by shutting down via the power button only as the normal shutdown was nixed by the open window issue. It did not help. Found a very similar question in the discussions and it recommended "Force Quit". That worked and the update works normal and the window is gone. Thanks!

Use Pacifist to extract it from your Mac OS X 10.6 DVD and then run the Mac OS X 10.6.8 combo updater.

When I open an image in Photoshop, I cannot see the file. The thumbnail in on the right, but I cannot see the image on the work area. I am using Windows 8

When I open Photoshop CS6 I cannot view the image. The thumbnail is visible on the right hand side and the work area shows the file information, but no image. I have updated PS, my driver. It is the same for both jpg or RAW.

Be sure your graphics drivers are up to date. Try disabling GPU acceleration in the preferences then restart Photoshop.

I can access my Vista PC folders form my MAC but can't see the Docs within

Hi,
Just got my first MAC and love it.
I do however have loads of files on my VISTA PC that I am trying to access from it. I have set-up sharing so I can see the Vista Machine and Folders from my MAC, however the Folders always seem empty ie. I can open the Vista Folder but can;t see what's in it.
Any ideas?
Thanks,
Sean

Hi Sean, and a warm welcome to the forums!
Is the Vista PC asking for a Password? It should & needs to be setup for one if not.
Also, what happens when in the Finder>Go menu>Connect to Server, and then type the ip of the vista pc in the windows, like...
smb://ip.of.the.vistapc

My playlist has disappeared, all the music is there and i can listen to it but i cannot see the playlist contents list anymore. Any help on how to fix this?

My playlist on My iPad 2 has blacked out, the music is all there and i can listen to it but i have no playlist breakdown of songs and i can only go back and forward with the arrows to listen to music. Any help would be appreciated, thank you.

Try a system reset. It cures many ills and it's quick, easy and harmless...
Hold down the on/off switch and the Home button simultaneously until the screen blacks out or you see the Apple logo. Ignore the "Slide to power off" text if it appears. You will not lose any apps, data, music, movies, settings, etc.
If the Reset doesn't work, try a Restore. Note that it's nowhere near as quick as a Reset. From iTunes, select the iPad/iPod and then select the Summary tab. Follow directions for Restore and be sure to say "yes" to the backup. You will be warned that all data (apps, music, movies, etc.) will be erased but, as the Restore finishes, you will be asked if you wish the contents of the backup to be copied to the iPad/iPod.
There's more to try but let's go a bit at a time.

I cannot watch viedos on my ipad I can hear them but I cannot see the viedos

I Had a question why I cannot watch the viedos on Facebook I can hear the VIEDO but I am not seeing it why

It should be in the Videos app :
If it's not in there then have you got a film age rating set in Settings > General > Restrictions that is hiding it ?

HT203175 My ITunes software on my Dell computer is not displaying the menu items or the windows content of my music. The menus are active, but you cannot see the choices. I suspect a missing font set. Any suggestions before I trash the whole environmen

Loading the last two versions of the ITunes software to my Dell computer has produced unacceptable results. None of the pull down menus are showing the menu choices and none of the content on my IPod Touch shows up in the appropriate window. As a result, I have an interface with no functionality. It does still sync my Touch but that is all. I assume a missing font set. Any suggestions on how to correct these issues.
I also now get a message that ITunes cannot play back anything on my computer and a request to reinstall the software - which I have done multiple times both the original and the upgrade.

I'm not sure if it charged when I hooked it up to my roommate's computer, but it definately didn't register either. If I put it on the dock it plays so the port is fine, but that still doesn't help me sync it to my computer.

Safari appears to be open but I cannot see the page, Safari appears to be open but I cannot see the page

I try to connect to internet with safari and program seems to open but no window appears. I have tried deleting caches, history plist to no avail. This is an older computer that I am trying to get more in line but my 1999 G4 run better. Please help me view the page and then I can get to where I need to upgrade. Thanks

Ok, depending on your email provider you may be able to change this, for example my email account is with GMAIL, so if yours is GMAIL as an example having a trash folder on your iPad will only ever delete mails from your iPad, they won't be deleted from the mail server, and carrying on with this example maybe the server is full, but I'd suspect you may get an error message regarding this.
Have you checked your iPad trash folder? If so is this full or empty at present? Have you also tried closing the Mail app and reopening it, it could have just glitched out.
If you've tried the steps above and get no joy then it may be worth trying a reset: To do this with iPad turned on hold down the Sleep/Wake & Home buttons until the Apple logo appears.
Regards,
Steve
