ITunes showing blank window

Hi. iTunes is showing me a blank window no matter what I click on. The music store works, however. Here's an example of what I am talking about.
http://farm1.static.flickr.com/174/420539734_9e42901e44.jpg
As you can see it just shows a blank white screen. I have disabled all my plugins. What's odd is that iTunes will play songs properly when I start them from any program which controls iTunes. It just won't show me anything in the main window. Anyone encounter this problem too?
Macbook Core2Duo Mac OS X (10.4.9)

No songs displayed may be a result of a conflict for new iTunes with a 3rd party program.
See this thread for an example of what others have found:

Hope this helps,

IPhoto 09 (8.1.2) - Only shows blank window/no pix after iTunes/iOS4 update

Before updating to iTunes 9.2 and iPhone iOS4 (iPhone 3GS) my iPhoto 09 (8.1.2) was functioning perfectly. I have hundreds of photos and no issues with importing or displaying of photos on the Macbook.
I updated to iTunes 9.2 so I could download and update my iPhone 3GS to iOS4. Once I did that update my iPhoto install has been trashed.
Now, when I start iPhoto I get an empty two column window with no thumbnails or event folders in the larger white window column and no events/faces/last import/etc in the smaller grey left column. The two window columns exist but they are empty, no text, to pictures, nothing.
I verified that the picture files exists within the iPhoto Library subdirectory under ~/Pictures.
I tried starting iPhoto while holding command+option and then rebuilding the database. Also tried rebuilding small thumbnails. Nothing worked. iPhoto still starts into a blank window and there is no way to look into pictures or events manually. Even using toolbar drop down menus.
Software Update shows no updates available so I am guessing this is a new problem or something they haven't fixed yet.
When I start iPhoto, I get this console message:
7/12/10 12:45:44 PM iPhoto[1039] * -[FlippedViewTextView setFont:]: nil NSFont given.
When I starting clicking the main drop down menus in iPhoto I get:
7/12/10 12:46:46 PM iPhoto[1039] HIToolbox: ignoring exception '* -[FlippedViewTextView setFont:]: nil NSFont given.' that raised inside Carbon event dispatch

Ideas?

Perhaps a full repair permissions is necessary or something..
That's what one of the options in the iPhoto rebuild did. Create a new library, add a few photos and see if all is well. If so log into another user account on your Mac and try iPhoto there.
If iPhoto works OK in the other user account and in the new library your library is damaged and the repairs are not working. If iPhoto doesn't work in the other account nor the new library a reinstall of iPhoto seems indicated. To do so you'll have to first delete the current application and all files with "iPhoto" in the file name with either a .PKG or .BOM extension that reside in the HD/Library/Receipts folder, reinstall iPhoto from the disk it came on and reapply the latest updaters.
If iPhoto works in the other user account but not in the new library then there may be another preference files in your account that could be the culprit. Here's how to check that out:
Trouble Shooting Preferences in Leopard/Snow Leopard
1 - Create a folder titled "Preferences A" on the Desktop.
2 - Open the working Preferences folder, HD/Users/your_name/Library/Preferences, and move the contents to the Preferences A folder on the Desktop.
3 - With the working Preferences folder empty run the application again and determine if the problems is fixed.
NOTE: you may have to drag the contents of the working folder to the trash and empty if moving the contents to the A folder only copies them instead of moving.
4 - If the problem is fixed:
A - open the working Preferences folder (HD/Users/your_name/Library/Preferences).
B - Open the Preferences A folder on the Desktop, select all of the contents and drag them into the working Preferences folder.
C - When the Copy window pops up check the "Apply to All" check box and then click on the Don't Replace button.
Click to view full size
5 - If the problem is NOT fixed, empty the working Preferencess folder and move the contents of the Preferences folder on the desktop back into it.

1st gen iPhone showing up in iTunes as blank window

So, I have a friend who has a 1st gen iPhone... iTunes said to her "there's a new version of iOS available, would you like to download it and upgrade?"... She was feeling particularly good about life and decided, yes! I will upgrade!
The download happened, and the install happened, and her phone became a dead brick. She called 1-800-my-apple, and they told her "1st gen iPhones can't handle the latest OS, there's nothing that can be done and you have to go buy a new phone".
Gee... You'd think Apple engineers might have their OS update installers do a device version check to make sure it can actually support the OS it's asking you to install.. Maybe that's just too much to ask for? I don't know--- Anyway, this was really disturbing for me to hear as I couldn't imagine Apple doing something so irresponsible and short-sighted to their users. I know someone here is going to reply to this with "dude it's a first gen iphone.. get a new phone", but that's not the point. The point is, Apple should know what their devices can and can't handle and not just screw over people who happen to not be in the financial position to upgrade their hardware.
Anyway, so, I happened to have a 1st gen iPhone that I was not doing anything with, so I offered to send it to her so she could have a working phone. I sent her instructions on how to swap her sim card, and so she did that.. and reported to me that after plugging in the phone her itunes shows this:
No options to restore her previous iPhone backups.. nothing.. I tried googling around for this, but found very little information so I thought I'd ask here. Does anyone know why her iTunes is showing a blank window? She installed the latest version (10.5 build 141)... Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
-patrick

I'm in the same boat. My mother uses my old 1st Gen iPhone as an ipod, and it suddenly stopped syncing music, so I did a restore, and now it just gives me the connect to iTunes screen, but when I do I get the same blank iPhone screen inside itunes.

Terminal shows blank window with 80x24 and nothing happens

Hi!
I was trying to make Isync work with my unsupported nokia 6086 phone, and it required pasting text using vi editor. later I tried vim, and at some point just closed the terminal window. Now the terminal does not show bin/bash prompt, just a blank window where I can type anything, but nothing happens..
I tried to create another user account to reset the shell but same thing happens there..

Same happened to me today trying to install Clang, did you find a fix for this? Thanks

IE9 Shows Blank window for Quicktime Video

Hi There.
I installed latest Quicktime (Quicktime 7) in My windows 7 PC. I am displaying quicktime video in my Asp.Net page. The Video is playing after a very long time, but it is not showing buffering info , it shows a blank white screen until the video gets buffered. The following is the code i used
<object width="640" height="360" classid="clsid:02BF25D5-8C17-4B23-BC80-D3488ABDDC6B" data="wmm1.mov" codeBase="http://www.apple.com/qtactivex/qtplugin.cab" type="video/quicktime">
<param name="src" value="wmm1.mov">
<param name="bgColor" value="#ffffff">
<param name="controller" value="true">
<param name="enablejavascript" value="true">
<param name="cache" value="true">
<param name="scale" value="tofit">
<param name="autoplay" value="true">
</object>
Here is the Image it shows
How can i tell the end-user , that video is buffering now ? and why it is not displaying QuickTime logo atleast? OR is there any option to Pre-Buffer the video? . Please Help me !
Thank you.

That's nonsense; the problem doesn't go away, it merely doesn't manifest immediately, which tells us it's still there. More often than not, there is a simple fix for an underlying issue; of course, if you'd prefer something much more complicated, I'm sure we can give you all those machinations.
sorry - i should have been more precise and said the symptoms go away after restarting mail. i said what i said because my experience is that this type of scenario sometimes tends to lead people to conclude falsely that they have identified a solution when in fact they have not. this is why, for example, "reset pram" always was claimed a solution to dozens of problems for which it had absolutely no connection. it was because merely restarting the machine (an essential precursor to resetting pram) made symptoms go away in many cases.
as to your specific point, i have rebuilt envelope index in the recent past and i'm still having the problem. i can't say for sure that it is not the case that something messed up the file in the past and has now messed it up again, so i will give it a try.
thanks.

I've done some further investigation and it seems to be linked to accessing images in the /images folder.
In the orginal example I managed to get the label and input fields showing on the login screen by suppressing the lookup of the background image but;
- Header image wasn't displayed
- The input fields were non-functional (couldn't click or enter text into them)
- It appeared that the 'real' input fields were where they would've been if the header image had been displayed.
Clicking on these invisible fields caused the normal login form to be displayed with the header image.
Don't know if this helps but it is very odd behaviour.

Slideshow shows blank windows

Hi,
When I click on a picture to enlarge it, or click slideshow, I get a new window but with no picture. It looks like the link is broken. This has happened to all of my pages except the latest one I published! I was changing the order of my pages and did change the 'index' page but then changed it back. Can anyone enlighten me on this one? I would like viewers to be able to enlarge photos and see a slideshow of my work. Right now, only the thumbnails work (except for the latest page). Thank you.

Please post a URL so we can view (or not) your current page and code to see what's wrong.

I have itune 10.5 with windows 7, when i click itune store it is not connected and show blank page.

You can't, Anh. That's what people are telling you. At this time there's no way to get out of recovery mode. You're playing around with beta software and this is what you get.
Tell your "developer friend" he needs to talk to other developers to see if this can be fixed, or have him replace your devices that you should never have let him play with to begin with.
