Missing Itunes Help Files?

When I search for subjects within Itunes Help nothing shows up (just a blank dialog box with Help headers at the top). When I select Itunes & Itunes Store Help from the Help menu I used to get a Help guide as the first dialog window telling me particular subjects of interest and a search box -- this dialog no longer appears. I think this may have occured after a recent Itunes update. I really rely on the Help Facility to use Itunes. Any suggestions on how to get it back? Should I reinstall my current version of Itunes?

Perhaps this will help:

  • Has anyone found a quick, permanent solution to the missing iTunes.msi file. It's very frustrating that I can't uninstall or reinstall. I have a new iphone and I'm dead in the water:)

    Has anyone found a quick, permanent solution to the missing iTunes.msi File? I have tried many times to upgrade both itune and quicktime and get the same old error notice. Surely, by now, someone has found out how to get around this mess. Please....

    (1) Download the Windows Installer CleanUp utility installer file (msicuu2.exe) from the following Major Geeks page (use one of the links under the "DOWNLOAD LOCATIONS" thingy on the Major Geeks page):
    http://majorgeeks.com/download.php?det=4459
    (2) Doubleclick the msicuu2.exe file and follow the prompts to install the Windows Installer CleanUp utility. (If you're on a Windows Vista or Windows 7 system and you get a Code 800A0046 error message when doubleclicking the msicuu2.exe file, try instead right-clicking on the msicuu2.exe file and selecting "Run as administrator".)
    (3) In your Start menu click All Programs and then click Windows Install Clean Up. The Windows Installer CleanUp utility window appears, listing software that is currently installed on your computer.
    (4) In the list of programs that appears in CleanUp, select any iTunes entries and click "Remove", as per the following screenshot:
    (5) Quit out of CleanUp, restart the PC and try another iTunes install. Does it go through properly this time?

  • Can the font size in Itunes Help files be increased? The font size is way to small to... 4pt!

    Itumes for Windows 10.6
    Windows 7 x 64
    Is there a way to increase the font size displayed in the Itunes Help files? The size seems to be < 4pt and very difficult to read. Please advise.

    Sometimes this can be altered by going inside the "plist" for the project and making specific changes. It is beyond my scope, but someone on these forums should be talented enough to suss it out.

  • Missing QT help files

    I have QT pro installed and when I go to the Help files I get all the titles but when I click on them nothing happens. Each title seems to be a link to something but can't get any of them to open up with the help I need. Tried an update and it says all files are up to date.
    Thanks

    Thanks in advance.

    FInd the iTunes application, control-click it, choose Show Package Contents, open the Contents folder followed by Resources, and drag the iTunesHelper into the list of login items for your account.

  • Itunes help file missing after 10.5 upgrade - Help!

    upgrade itunes to 10.5 through auto updater... and now there is no help funtion.   Just a message about missing URL.   I am of course online and all other sites work.  How can they screw-up an upgrade like this!  Now I waste my Sunday trawling the forums. 

    Have you looked directly in the folder Library/Fonts to make sure the font is really missing (and you are not just getting a bad message from iWeb)? If you open TextEdit and do Format > Font > Show Fonts, is this font really missing from the list?

  • Missing itunes music files not on computer

    When I purchase songs from iTunes it makes my computer freeze and then crash. After my computer crashed about a month ago we got it fixed but all my music files were missing. I had most of my music on an external hard drive and most of my music is now back on my computer. I was wondering if there was anything that can be done to get my missing songs back without rebuying them? I have kept all my receipts if needed. I ran into this problem before with an older computer and I was told to "check for purchases," which I did. There is about 25-35 songs that I'm missing.

    *I was wondering if there was anything that can be done to get my missing songs back without rebuying them?*
    If you have no other back-up of your purchases to restore from (CDs/DVDs for example) then I'm sorry to say that the policy on lost purchases is that you have to pay to download them again:
    "Once a Product is purchased and you receive the Product, it is your responsibility not to lose, destroy, or damage the Product, and Apple shall be without liability to you in the event of any loss, destruction, or damage." iTunes Store: Purchased content can be downloaded only once
    You could try contacting the iTunes Music Store Customer Service and you might be able to persuade them to sanction a second free download. There have been occasional reports in the iTunes forum of this happening, however just be aware that they are not under any obligation to do so. If you click on any of the links on this page you'll find a space at the bottom to email your query: iTMS Customer Service
    If you have an iPod that still has the purchases on it the transfer of purchased content from the iPod to authorised computers was introduced with iTunes 7. You'll find details in this article: Copying iTunes Store purchases from your iPod or iPhone to a computer

  • Missing itunes music files and exclamation point in iTunes 10

    Hi
    iTunes on my macbook is a copy of from my desktop. I have not added any music to it and only use it to play music when I am travelling.
    Last night I opened itunes and it was updating album covers..i think this is the first time i opened it since updating to 9.1? Anyways every track had an exclamation point and could not locate the file.
    I updated to itunes 10 and that did not fix the issue.
    I checked where my music should be stored (users/shared/itunes/itunes music) and the only files there are 2 folders called "Automatically add to itunes" and another called "Incomplete". In "Incomplete" are 2 files "downloads.bak" and "downloads.dat"
    I have done a spotlight search for .m4 etc and find nothing...
    1. Is there anyway to find my music files or are they gone forever?
    2. Can I sync my iTouch to my macbook and will everything be copied to my macbook?
    3. Is there a easy way to copy or transfer itunes from my desktop to my macbook?
    Help

    if i were in your situation, i'd start over on the MB.
    the simplest way would be to connect the two Macs with a firewire cable, boot the source Mac in _*Target Disk Mode*_, and copy the entire iTunes folder (not just the iTunes music folder) from <MacintoshHD>/users/<yourname>/music on the source (desktop) to <MacintoshHD>/users/<yourname>/music on the target (MB) (overwriting the iTunes folder in place there).
    another option, which may be appealing if you travel a lot, is to get a suitably sized mobile HD such as [this|http://www.lacie.com/us/products/product.htm?pid=11030] and copy the iTunes folder there. then, on each Mac (one @ a time, mind you) launch iTunes while pressing option on the keyboard and, at the prompt, click on +choose library+. select the iTunes folder on the external.
    that way, both computers will work with the same iTunes library. while @ home, the external is connected to the desktop. while on the road, it is connected to the MB. no matter on which machine you add content, it will be available to both.
    if you opt for this setup, you must make sure the drive is mounted on your desktop before you launch iTunes.

  • Cannot update or uninstall iTunes due to missing iTunes.msi file

    I am trying to update my itunes 10.4.1.10 to the newest version. However, when I try to update or manually uninstall iTunes I get the following error message. I am logged into the admin account and on a wireless network. I've looked for the iTunes.msi folder in my iTunes folders and program folders but cannot find it. Also using Windows Installer CleanUp Utility is no longer an available option since Microsoft is saying that it damages files as well as fix them. Any ideas on what to do???

    Also using Windows Installer CleanUp Utility is no longer an available option since Microsoft is saying that it damages files as well as fix them.
    Nonetheless, it's the best game in town for this particular kind of trouble. So, just in case, I'll run you through my standard instructions for an itunes.msi variant (just in case).
    Unfortunately, this sort of trouble has gotten more complicated to deal with ever since Microsoft pulled the Windows Installer CleanUp utility from their Download Center. First we have to find a copy of the utility.
    Let's try Googling. (Best not to use Bing, I think.) Look for a working download site for at least version 3.0 of the Windows Installer CleanUp utility. (The results from mydigitallife and Major Geeksare worth checking.)
    After downloading the utility installer file (msicuu2.exe), scan the file for malware, just in case. (I use the free version of Malwarebytes AntiMalware to do single-file scans for that.)
    If the file is clean, to install the utility, doubleclick the msicuu2.exe file you've downloaded.
    Now run the utility ("Start > All Programs > Windows Install Clean Up"). In the list of programs that appears in CleanUp, select any iTunes entries and click "Remove".
    Quit out of CleanUp. Restart the PC, and try another iTunes install. Does it go through properly this time?

  • "iTunes cannot run because some of its required files are missing."  Help!!

    "iTunes cannot run because some of its required files are missing." Help!!
    Hello everyone, I have looked throughout this forum but couldn’t find anything similar so I am posting this in the hope of someone helping me out.
    I have encountered some problems with iTunes (most recent edition) after doing a Dell update which seems to have knocked something out with iTunes.
    Whenever I hit the iTunes icon it refuses to run and iTunes displays the following message:-
    "iTunes cannot run because some of its required files are missing. Please reinstall iTunes."
    I don’t want to reinstall itunes from fresh as this will mean losing all the records and playlists that I have spent the last 3 years using.
    I first want to try by getting my old one back by any means neccessary.
    Like I said this problem first happened after a standard Dell update.
    I do have the option of doing a restore with the Dell or using Windows Vista restore itself but I fear I do not have enough disk space.
    On the Dell update I can restore to settings of a previous date which might bring iTunes back but when attempt to do
    that I keep getting the following message,
    "Not enough free disk space to back up"
    Around this time I am given a lists of what will be backed up and this readsas follows:-
    Pics 2.87gb
    Music 71.72gb
    Videos 330.57mb
    Documents 219.11mb
    Email etc 203.64mb
    How do I free up disk space to do the back up? An external hard drive?? If I baIs there anyway of getting a previous version of iTunes back?
    My drive information is as follows:-
    C Drive: Very little room - red warning - 5.67gb of 138gb
    D Drive: 6.34gb of 9.99 free
    Do I have too much music?
    Ideally don't want to reinstall itunes as is a ball ache, and it has all the playlists etc so if there is
    a way of restoring and getting back iTunes either via restoring system to the prior date when iTunes was ok.
    C drive is really full now. How can I clean this up and make more room? Do I need to add memory? Are all the songs
    causing the problem? What advise can you give me? Please help.
    Thanks!

    Nodders:
    I've recently had exactly the same message as you, after iTunes updated to 10.1.1.4. First of all, I checked the *My Music* folder to make sure it was still there - it was. (I do have a back up of that folder anyway!)
    I then chose the re-install iTunes option and a pop-up box asked if I wanted to uninstall iTunes or repair it. I (obviously) chose repair and I'm pretty sure what happened was that the install process simply re-installed a damaged (or missing) file. It far too quick to be a fresh install. My library was intact.
    So my advice(for what it's worth) is take the re-install option and then repair option. I can't guarantee anything, but ...
    By the way, after I experienced a recent hard drive failure, I decided to invest in a 1TB external drive to back up my iTunes library and personal files because it's a much easier way of backing up than my previous method. Luckily, I only lost a small recent part of my library, but it taught me a lesson. Back up regurlarly, using a larger hard drive than you are using on your computer (which allows you to keep the most recent and +next most recent+ back-ups, and don't rely on Windows to do the backing up. Find a suitable backup piece of software. (My hard drive came with s/w built in.)
