ITunes Tutorial Window Won't Hide

Before you say "check the box in the lower left corner", there is not one there. What happened was I reformatted my computer recently. I backed up my iTunes folder with all of my music and preferences. Once I opened iTunes after installing Snow Leopard again, I checked the box to not have the window show. I then closed iTunes, copied all of my backed up files into my iTunes folder, and reopened the program. Then this started happening. The window opens every time I open iTunes and there is no longer a check box to hide it.
Does anyone know of another way to suppress this window?

I checked the box to not have the window show
The window opens every time I open iTunes and there is no longer a check box to hide it.
I don't understand what check box you are referring to.
There are four buttons at the lower left of iTunes.
New playlist, Shuffle, Repeat and Show/Hide artwork.
Click the one with the triangle in a box (last one).

    Do you have Sync Apps selected under the Apps tab for your iPhone sync preferences with iTunes with your chosen apps selected below and Sync Music selected under the Music tab for your iPhone sync preferences with iTunes with your selections below?
    Any error message provided?

  • Itunes browser window won't show on mac

    Since yesterday the jukebox browser window in itunes for mac won't open or show. I had version 8.01 installed. The mini browser window does show. I've tried deleting and reinstalling itunes but it still won't show. I've also tried altering preferences. this is in the administrator account, and I can still get itunes to work OK in other accounts. It seems that itunes is working otherwise, but as a result I can't access the itunes store or choose music. I'm concerned that I can't synch my ipod and iphone properly as I can't see what might be happening.

    I'm an Apple Authorized Service Provider and just had a customer with the same issue (which is how I found this post). After much troubleshooting including deleting preferences and creating test user accounts, the problem was as simple as can be. The iTunes window was open the whole time, but was dragged all the way to the lower right hand corner of the display and out of sight. Select Window->Minimize and you should see the Browser window move from whereever it's hiding into the dock. Then click on the window in the dock and you'll see it move back to it's hiding spot. Just drag it to the center of the screen and you're done!

  • Itunes for windows won't read or burn to my cd player

    I am having a weird problem. I had an HP Lightscribe cd burner installed on my system and when i put a cd into the computer, itunes will read it and show me the name of the cd and all the tracks, but when trying to play, import, or burn to this drive, itunes will go down the list of tracks one after another for about a half second each and wont do anything. I have an external cd burner as well with a lite-on cd burner, and when i plug this in everything works as it should with no problems.
    for the past 2 years, i have pulled out my external cd burner everytime i wanted to add new music or burn a cd from itunes, but i no longer have the external drive, and so i purchased a new lite-on cd burner thinking the issue was compatibility with the lightscribe drive. unfortunately now that the new drive is installed, i still have the exact same problem and it is frustrating me to no end. i have submitted help emails to apple, but to no response. i have reprogrammed my computer and reinstalled itunes numerous times. I have the most current version of all drivers and the latest version of itunes. my windows is completely up to date. the drive itself will import fine through media player, and burnes fine through nero. the only information i can get from the cd diagnostics is below, but it contradicts itself by saying i am logged in as administrator, and then later says to burn or import from this drive u must be logged in as administrator and gives error 1450.

    Can anyone please help me out with this issue?? it is driving me crazy!! My life would be so much easier if i could burn and rip from itunes instead of having to use media player or nero.

    I am experiencing the same issue with a new external DVD burner, a Sony DRX-840U. When I load a CD into this external drive it appears in iTunes but when you go to import or play the CD iTunes indicates playing or importing for each individual track for just a moment. The end result is that nothing is ever imported or played. I am experiencing this on two different systems. One a notebook running Win2K and the other a desktop running XPpro. If I use the internal DVD drives on either of these systems everything work just fine. Yet I am able to use this new external DVD drive with every other application. For example Window Media Player has no problem playing or importing the same CD that iTunes fails on. The last person indicated that if one set the DVD drive in question to be the drive of choice under preferences>advanced>burning that all was ok. I my case this Sony external drive is the drive listed as the drive of choice for burning yet the issue still exists.
    As this appears to be an issue that others are also experiencing help from Apple Tech Support would be greatly appreciated.

  • Computer says iPod is there, but iTunes and Windows won't recognize it

    I've had a 60GB ipod photo for about 4 years and it has served me well. This morning the iPod froze in the middle of a song. I hit reset, and it came back blank - all the files were gone. When I got to work and hooked it up to my computer, iTunes and Windows can't recognize it, but I can find it in device manager - which means I couldn't do restore.
    I hit reset a few more times, changed USB ports and, somewhat miraculously, the iPod came back, complete with all files. On the way home from work it happened again and I haven't been so lucky.
    I forced it into disk mode and iTunes recognized it, but told me it was corrupt. I also received a computer sound card error - my sound card was busy, and an error stating that audio/video playback could be limited. I tried restore, but I received the unknown error. I'm using the latest version of iTunes and I'm all out of ideas.
    Any suggestions or should I put this iPod to rest and save up to buy a new one?
    Thanks

    The most likely problem is that the hard drive in the iPod is becoming unreliable. It may be experiencing sticktion, which is friction that makes the spinning platter stick and the motor cannot get it spinning. The iPod is regularly spinning the hard drive up, to cache songs into memory, and then spinning it down, to save power. If the drive was not able to spin up when commanded (in the middle of a song), the iPod would seem to lock up. Later, bumping the iPod may make the hard drive spin again, so it seems to work again, at least for a while.
    If this the the problem, the only way to fix it would be to replace the hard drive inside.
    You might try reformatting the iPod using Windows, if you can get it to appear in a My Computer or Windows Explorer window. Use a full format instead of a quick format. If that process competes successfully, run iTunes and try using Restore again to install and initialize the iPod's software.
    If formatting does not compete successfully, it may be time for that new iPod.
    You can do some experimenting on the old iPod, if you're into such things. I have successfully installed a compact flash card (through an adapter), inside a 4th gen iPod as a replacement for the hard drive. It is only 4GB at the moment, but CF cards up to 16GB are getting relatively cheap, so I might get one of those and start using by old broken 4G iPod again, +now with shock-resistant energy-saving flash-based storage+.

  • Itunes browser window won't resize to enable license agreement for ipod

    Hi,
    hope someone can help me I am new to itunes and just purchased an ipod classic.Every thing is fine except I can't resize the itunes browser window to be able to read and accept the license agreement to be able to use my ipod.
    The document seems too large for the browser window.I know there must be an accept button to click on to agree to the terms,but it is not visible.I can read the agreement of terms.But I can only see the cancel and save buttons on left at the bottom of screen.There is no sliding bar to access the right hand side of the page/doc/browser window.
    I've tried looking in preferences,itunes help doc. and stretching the window using the mouse, to no avail.
    Thanks for your time.
    Any help would be appreciated.
    John.

  • Itunes for windows won't open

    clicking on the itunes icon does nothing, nor trying from the program list. I removed itunes & reinstalled it (downloading from apple), tried the repair option, tried downloading to a different drive, but nothing. I'm wondering if this is a problem with the latest windows update, as yahoo messenger doesn't work since then either.
    any suggestions?

    The first thing I'd suggest is to get a good
    antispyware checker and give it a go at your system.
    Some recent spyware has been reported by other users
    to shut down iTunes or prevents it from launching.
    From user reports, Ewido seems to be the best at
    catching it. You can download a free version of Ewido
    here.
    I tried ewido and it found a lot of adware, but I'm afraid itunes and yahoo messenger still won't work. thanks for the suggestion, though.

  • Ipod said it needs restored but Itunes or windows won't recognize

    I have an 80 gb classic and it said one day (after being fully charged) that it needed to be restored. So I plug it in and Itunes won't recognize it and windows shows it as a removeable disk but there's no info there either. I have the latest version of Itunes and have tried everything. I plugged my wifes 80 gb in and it syncs fine. I'm just hoping I don't have to get a new one. Any ideas would be helpful, thanks.

    can any one help
    i cannot restore because it does not recognize the ipod. my ipod shuffle is okay
    thanks

  • Itunes Mac window won't open

    8.2.23 opens with only the menus across the top and a small player that plays only one song at a time. But the File menu has all window choice grayed out. I reinstalled 8.2.23 but it's the same. No library, playlists, radio, iTunes store etc. Any ideas? I tried the preferences but don't see choices about this.
    Most of the songs are on an external HD but some are still on the computer.

    I haven't installed 8.2 (and that's "8.2.0.23," not "8.2.23") yet, so I don't know what's going on. However, the first thing I would try is CommandOption1. If that didn't make the window appear, then I would go to my iTunes Library file or one of my previous library files (with the most recent date) and open it directly. Or shift-launch iTunes. And if that still doesn't get the main window to appear, uninstall 8.2 and revert to 8.1.
    Also, have you also updated to QuickTime 7.6.2? That might help. Another thing is that you could try downloading the standalone install DMG rather than using Software Update.

  • New iTunes, Login Window won't open

    After installing iTunes 7.02 last night, I tried opening it. Unfortunetly it slowed the computer down a lot and I forced quit it. Later when I turned on my computer to use again, it acted very slowly, taking 45 minutes just to get to where the login window should be. But the loading bar stops just at the very end, and I am deprived of logging on. I tried numerous solutions, including trying to reinstall OS X, It wouldn't let me as there was a newer version, repairing the disk permisions with system profiler, it froze halfway through, repairing the disk with system profiler, it was unbale to repair 1 disk, go into single user mode to fix some plists, try safe booting, it wouldn't work either, I tried to use the Techtool Deluxe program that comes with Apple Care, it wasn't able to boot from that. Please help!

    I just got Tech Tool to turn on, guess it was taking a really long time.

  • My iTunes for windows won't open no matter how many times I re-install it. Please help how to fix this!

    And there was once when i tried to re-install again. There was this window said all my purchased apps will be erased and I have to repurchase them in the future. What is going on here?

    Linc Davis has indicated how to Force Quit out of any application that is frozen.
    For your Mail issue, try the following:
    - Go to Software Update to apply the new update for Mail. Not sure, but there may be bug fixes in the  new version.
    - Go to Disk Utility (In Applications, Utilities) and run a Permissions Repair. Then do a restart of your computer.

  • View options in iTunes 12 - window won't display

    When I choose "View Options", nothing seems to occur.  The menu selection is not greyed out, it just doesn't seem to have any functionality when you select it.
    Occasionally when I click elsewhere, I'll see a brief flash, as if something had popped up, but only significantly delayed and not long enough to figure out what happened.

    If you are looking at the Library using the "Songs" option, then you can do as I mentioned above, and right-click on the heading bar to select/deselect options from the fly-out menu. But I think that only works for "Songs" view in the Library.

  • Itunes downloaded but won't open on Windows 8

    I just purchased a laptop with Windows 8 and Itunes downloaded fine but it won't open.  It says "Itunes has stopped working".  I have a Sony Vaio and my previous computer was a Sony Vaio so I know it should be working.  Any tips or advice on what to try?

    If that doesn't solve things then for general advice see Troubleshooting issues with iTunes for Windows updates.
    The steps in the second box are a guide to removing everything related to iTunes and then rebuilding it which is often a good starting point unless the symptoms indicate a more specific approach. Review the other boxes and the list of support documents further down the page in case one of them applies.
    The further information area has direct links to the current and recent builds in case you have problems downloading, need to revert to an older version or want to try the iTunes for Windows (64-bit - for older video cards) release as a workaround for installation or performance issues, or compatibility with QuickTime or third party software.
    Your library should be unaffected by these steps but there are also links to backup and recovery advice should it be needed.
