MacPro 2009, OSX 10.8.5, iTunes 11.1 shows everything in black base and white text?

I've updated MacPro to 10.8.5 and iTunes to 11.1.
The problem is, that these updates did not solve a problem where iTunes shows everything in negative colours - well almost everything.
Mostly it has a black base and white text for example on Music Library and on the side bar.
Anybody with any solutions maybe?

HT1844 Library Issue: I just imported 2 CD's into ITunes. They show up in "Recently Added" and on my other devices via ITunes Match, but NOT in the ITunes software on the computer where I added them.

Library Issue: I just imported 2 CD's into ITunes. They show up in "Recently Added" and on my other devices via ITunes Match, but NOT in the ITunes software on the computer where I added them. They show up in the search box, but when I click on the results it just kicks me to ALL my music. I have imported thousands of songs/CD's before and this is a new one.

Something may have gone wrong with the index of the Music playlist. Making another change to the library such as downloading the current iTunes Free Single of the Week, or deleting one track from your library and reimporting it, should fix the problem.
If that doesn't work close iTunes and delete the hidden file sentinel from inside the main iTunes folder, then start iTunes again. It should run a consistency check when it starts up which ought to correct things.

In itunes, my ipod shows six gigabytes of "other" and i have no idea what that space is used for.

In itunes, my ipod shows six gigabytes of "other" and i have no idea what that space is used for.

Other usually contains app data and other miscellanious items. However 6GB is awfully big so it's likely been corrupted. I would restore.

I upgraded new software onto my iphone 4 however it stopped syncing and said error so when i tried to access my phone the itunes USB was showing in my phone screen and now i cannot access my phone

When it stopped and said error, what was the error? You are saying that you disconnected the phone from the computer and all you see is the USB showing on the phone? Then you need to reconnect to the computer and restore the phone.

Previously rock solid MacPro ('08) crashed and now will not boot up past a screen of black, grey and white blocks covered in pink artefacts. Lion recently installed. Can this old warhorse be saved?

Yesterday the trusted and loyal MacPro froze and on reboot kept going straight to a screen which looks like a modern art collaboration between Kasparov, a robot and the ghost of Jackson Pollock. You can see the artwork in the pictures below.
Lion has recently been installed.
Main programmes used are Logic and Final Cut Pro.
I have taken the machine apart and dusted everything down, talked sternly to the ciruit boards, offered bribes to the CPU and even played it Salsa - I figured that this works in breaking the spirits of kidnappers, so it may work with the hard disk.
Nada.
There is a suspicion lingering that the computer was aware of a make or break week of editing coming up and decided to stop working in protest (it is getting on a bit), so I let it rest for a bit before trying another reboot.
Still no luck.
Short of going Basil Fawlty on it, is there anything I can do?
Help!

Time to put it aside to pasture.... the 8800GT has some known issues.
Better to replace it now while you can.
As for your system, w/o another gpu but I'd give 99.999% that you are fine.
For dust I juse a powerful 500W.

Other than the card working its way loose (hard to do) or the 6-pin aux power cable being loose etc.
Someone said that "post Lion" that many Mac Pro owners have not been able to use their OEM DVD with Apple Hardware Test (the test is on a hidden partition).
$249 isn't totally bad investment to keep it running.
Other than FBDIMMs self destructing and being fried @ temps above 72*C and having errors of some sort... which is also solvable.
And while / IF you can, make sure you have made bootable clone of your system and data, and have some kind of current TimeMachine backup.

The album artwork that is in the right order on itunes isn't showing up on my ipod, and when it does it's not with the right album.

When i look at the itunes thing it doesn't even mention anything about album artwork... ( i am putting this in the itunes section also)

Ive never had any problems with iTunes

Hi Ethan6661,
Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.
If you do not have access to the computer you normally sync with, it may be necessary to use one of these methods to erase your phone and remove the passcode:
iOS: Forgotten passcode or device disabled after entering wrong passcode
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1212
If you see one of following alerts, you need to erase the device:
"iTunes could not connect to the [device] because it is locked with a passcode. You must enter your passcode on the [device] before it can be used with iTunes."
"You haven't chosen to have [device] trust this computer"
If you have Find My iPhone enabled, you can use Remote Wipe to erase the contents of your device. If you have been using iCloud to back up, you may be able to restore the most recent backup to reset the passcode after the device has been erased.
Alternatively, place the device in recovery mode and restore it to erase the device:
Disconnect the USB cable from the device, but leave the other end of the cable connected to your computer's USB port.
Turn off the device: Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button for a few seconds until the red slider appears, then slide the slider. Wait for the device to shut down.
While pressing and holding the Home button, reconnect the USB cable to the device. The device should turn on.
Continue holding the Home button until you see the Connect to iTunes screen.
iTunes will alert you that it has detected a device in recovery mode. Click OK, and then restore the device.
Best,
Jeremy

ITunes library not showing everything on my disc

I have iTunes 11.0.4.4 and I just notived my library is about 1/3 of what it should be. I also found at least one song under the wrong Album. If I look on my hard drive, I see all the proper albums & songs but iTunes does not. I also notice I all of a sudden of a sudden have a lot of songs with the cloud icon next to them. If I go to play them, I have to wair for iTunes to get them from the cloud. I don't get this because I have never had any action where I have saved songs to the clouds. Any ideas on what is going on here?
Just to get a final rant in, I have been thoroughy disgusted with iTunes since verion 11 first popped up. I take it this is just more crap from this version.

I did some looking around and found some files & need to understand how I can repair this. This is what I found:
1. iTunes Library.itl 234K 9/17/2013
2. iTunes Library(Damaged).itl 1,219K 7/04/2013
3. iTunes Library.xml 1248K 9/17/2013
4. iTunes Library 2013-05-28.itl 1200K
I know the last one is a back up & I can probably just rename & move it, then redownload anything I purchased since then. Before I do that I wanted to know if there is a way the damaged file could be repaired? Or can the data in the xml file be considered valid & is there any way to extract that.
Thanks

Why is some of my iTunes artwork showing up as black and white?

I have already posted this issue here (Reddit) but I guess I'll make a post here too.
I'm having a major problem with iTunes on Windows 7 (64 bit), where my iTunes artwork is showing up as black and white, and videos play with a majorly distorted output. (http://imgur.com/TQXA9OH)
No idea how to fix this, but if I copy paste artwork in from somewhere else, it works fine, however if I download album artowrk using iTunes' built in feature that automatically does it, 75% of the time the album artwork turns out black and white. What's even stranger is that on my iPhone the artwork is fine, but on my iPod Classic it shows up as black and white too. Videos play fine on both devices, but are still distorted in iTunes.
Can anyone help me fix this? I'm running the newest version of iTunes.

In your sync boxes for TV shows have you checked the box for remove after viewing and/or don't sync after viewing?

I can't play my itunes music it shows !this simbol and says the file couln't be find

i can't play my itunes music it shows me ! this sinbol and says the file couln't be find

This happens if the files are no longer where iTunes expects to find them. Possible causes are that you or some third party tool has moved, renamed or deleted the files, or that the drive they live on has had a change of drive letter. It is also possible that iTunes has changed from expecting the files to be in the pre-iTunes 9 layout to post-iTunes 9 layout, or vice-versa, and so is looking in slightly the wrong place.
Select a track with an exclamation mark, use Ctrl-I to get info, then cancel when asked to try to locate the track. Look on the summary tab for the location that iTunes thinks the file should be. Now take a look around your hard drive(s). Hopefully you can locate the track in question. If a section of your library has simply been moved, or a drive letter has changed, it should be possible to reverse the actions.
Alternatively, as long as you can find a location holding the missing files, then you should be able to use my FindTracks script to reconnect them to iTunes.
If the files are nowhere to be found on your computer, but exist on a device, see Recover your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device.
While deleting & reimporting works when the media can be found the process will delete user playlists, ratings, play counts, date added information and any other metadata not stored in tags.

ITunes Store graphics showing up only as broken chain.

All of the graphics on my iTunes Store are showing up as broken chains and the buttons (Subscribe, Buy Now, etc.) are red "x"s. I installed the new iTunes, thinking this was the problem, but it still isn't showing up as anything.

You need to go to your software update and update to the latest version of Quicktime. I had the same issue and once I updated to the latest version of Quicktime, the graphics all showed up again and it worked fine.

MacPro (2009) isn't working after I tried to reinstall the original OS. I was previously using Mavericks before I reinstalled the original OS.

My MacPro (2009) was running on Mavericks OS and I was having some issues with it so I tried to reinstall the original OS X which came with the laptop and then I was going to upgrade it back to Mavericks. In the process of doing so, the computer isn't working properly anymore. The install of the original OS X worked just fine and then I installed the Applications CD which came with the computer (iPhoto, Garage Band, etc.). Once the applicaiton install CD finished (which was sucessful), it prompted me to restart the computer. After restarting the computer I was unable to open anything (Safari, Calendar, iTunes, etc). So I tried to restart the computer and now it won't even being me to the login screen. I have tried to restart the computer several times and it just shows a blue screen and never brings me to the log in screen so that I can continue upgrading it to Snow Leopard and then to Mavericks.
Please help. I would appreciate any feedback. Thanks.

Boot an external Mavericks USB disk, wipe, and install, and see if Mavericks works. (There've been reports of problems with some Mac systems; of attempts at downgrades that didn't work.)
It's also possible that the original and unspecified issues with Mavericks were being triggered by a hardware problem, and the underlying problem is becoming increasingly pervasive.
If the Mavericks problems were potentially triggered by hardware, then load and run the hardware diagnostics for the Mac Pro, and see where that gets you.

Please help.

Is this music purchased back in DRM days? I don't actually have any iTunes music so I can't test with my iTunes 7.5, but I know that without iTunes 10 you cannot even connect to the store anymore. I wouldn't think that would require an active connection to the store all the time, otherwise how could you play music on a computer in the middle of nowhere? Did you do something to trigger iTunes suddenly wanting to connect and check on machine authorization?

ITunes won't open after update; MacBook Pro, Mac OSX 10.6.8, iTunes version 11.1.5

iTunes won't open after update - help, please; MacBook Pro, Mac OSX 10.6.8, iTunes version 11.1.5.

i had a problem similar to yours and better yet, i have the fix for it. i downloaded maverick 4 months ago and was without itunes ever since. all itunes icon did was bounce. itunes would never open and whats more, is when i would try to update it, i would get a "thank you for downloading itunes!" page , but the download would never work. so i scoured the net for solves. nothing that worked. <4 months later> then last night i took a new approach. i decided even though maverick would not allow me to uninstall itunes, i would find a way to uninstall itunes. then i would reinstall back to 11.1.5 i was successful and heres what i did.
step one-
Back up your iTunes Library.itl file, found under ~/Music/iTunes
(even tho i didnt, i only had 3 artists in there at the time. and they didnt get erased but i advise you back up just in case.)
step two-
download itunes 10.7 from apple. i used this link Download it from Apple here
(i pulled the link from Aarons website (awesometast.com). you download 10.7 however you want but i used the link above and have had no issues).
although im not sure you need to do this step ( you may be able to download 11.1.5 itunes without 10.7, i did because i was following intructions from http://awesometoast.com/downgrading-to-itunes-10-7-from-itunes-11-on-osx/
step 3-
open Terminal
step 4-
enter in these 3 commands hitting return after each line. 1st line nothing seems to happen, 2nd line nothing seems to happen and 3rd line gives you a warning and requires password to continue. when i did it, my password didnt appear as i entered it and i hit return without looking, so i entered it in again, although im not sure i had to the 2nd time.
killall iTunes
killall "iTunes Helper"
sudo rm -rf /Applications/iTunes.app/
step 5-
drag off and dump the itunes icon (which now has the ? shadow in it) off your dock.
step 6-
install 10.7 itunes you downloaded earlier. (not sure if this part is neccesary. you may be able to just download 11.1.5 but i downloaded 10.7 because i was following Aarons steps.) itunes now works.
step 7-
go to apple and update to 11.1.5 itunes. install it. open it and you have itunes 11.1.5 in perfect working order. assuming you have a decent internet speed for the downloads, the whole process takes very little time.
with those steps above, you can solve itunes just bouncing and not launching issues and also the "thank you for downloading" and nothing downloads issue. enjoy. also i would like to give a shout out to http://awesometoast.com and thank Aaron for the knowledge that enabled me to get itunes back into my life.
