New update creating an alternate icon in Windows menu

Since the update to 12.1, clicking the iTunes icon in my menu creates a new window with an unknown icon. Does anybody know how to fix this. Please see picture for reference.

You may need to delete the iTunes shortcuts from the desktop, taskbar and start menu, then repair iTunes from the programs and features control panel.
Otherwise, 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 also links to backup and recovery advice should it be needed.

  • 31.5.0 new update, cant send message, icon dim, worked on old version

    iMac OSX 10.8.5
    Thunderbird new update occurred when I started up this morning. went to send a message but the icon for sending the message is dim and it would not send. I have checked the account details and they are the same as before?
    I have Nortons firewall operating. I turned it off and tried to send but no success.
    Image of icons attached. Would not upload either!

    Does problem go away if you start in safe mode per https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/safe-mode ?

  • I tunes doesnt work since new update. shows in processes but no window displays.

    Running windows 7 premium(it is a legit copy). it seems to me that every itunes update that i do,seems to make itunes NOT work on my computer. the only way for me to get it to work is to litterally reboot windows 7 on to my computer....ive dont this 4 times in the last 6 to 12 months. have to reset my computer completly just to get one file to work. im not doing that this time. i know its not my computer cuz everything runs perfect on my cpu but itunes. i dont care what update it is, this has always been my issue for as long as i can remember . i will click to run as administrator, i tried to netsh ....blah blah reset. i update my computer to all the new updates. i downloaded quicktime i did everything i can find on this support page as possible. im just getting tired of this. my computer will show as if its opening itunes and nothing comes up. ill sart task manager go to process and it shows as if itunes is running. but no window will show. to make things even more frustrating maybe 1 out 10 tries..literally 1 in 10 trys itunes will appear....after i have given up and just do my own thing itunes appears after an hour or so but just freezes. ... any one else having trouble like this or has solved this problem?
    im tired of spending 2 hours to reboot my system and have to get my computer reset and another 2 hours to update and put all my files back on and even if i get itunes t owork i hate sitting here for another hour putting all my music in ths system and another hour for it to be uploaded to my ipod.....
    itunes do your self a favor have your people that work on all itune updates, all so fine tune the windows version update!

    i think i figured it out.. these are the steps i took to getting itunes to work.
    1. uninstall all things apple and itune related items off the computer
          http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1925 (use this file to find all items needing to be deleted and erased from      recycling bin.) (also make sure you do this just as you turn your computer on this way you wont have to worry about exe. files that may not be allowed to delete.)
    2. http://support.apple.com/kb/TS2363 (take these step and instead of deleting just one delete all the files you want no trace of itunes or apple on computer this includes quicktime)
    3.(this step may not be necessary but defrag and disk clean up "C:/" defrager and disk clean up, when using disk cleanup clean all files so check everything off.
    4. Now restart your computer once all files have been cleared and recycle bin has been empty.
    5. before downloading any itunes go to E internet explore not mozilla or any other internet service just use E. go to tools. advance tabs scroll down this list to security. uncheck the box that says (check for server certificate revocation*)
    6.check to make sure in this same location that (use ssl 3.0) and (use tls 1.0) ARE checked.
    7. Mozilla fire fox maybe a better internet service than E its self. so if your using mozilla sorry dont. download itunes from E and do not save just run. install like necessary. when installing i turned off allow automated updates..  let it install.
    Try it it out now. i hope this worked for you as it did for me!!!
    2 day and some many hours trolling and looking for answered even called apple services for help and rthey kept sending me the same files ive read thousands of times.. so this like i said this is what i did mixing everything ive read together and it worked.

    Anyone else facing this problem? Any solution to this problem?
    Thanks,

    I believe (hope) you're saying that you can not update SQL Developer to the latest release via "Check for Updates".
    My problem is that I get this error when running "Check for Updates" on a third party extension and not Oracle updates.
    I did a fresh install and ran the update and it will always give me the error. It's easily reproducible. Although, the second restart will fix the problem I'm concerned that this will give the impression that the extension caused the problem.

  • I got the new update, and now my drop down windows wont work

    when i access any website and they give you a dropdown menu from a box, i cannot access the contents of the box unless i hold down the left mouse key and arrow down with my keypad. halp please.

    Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox (Tools) > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).
    *Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.

  • How can I delete a photo with the new update?

    How can I delete a photo with this new update Photos?!

    Use the View menu to switch to Photos (Moments window) if you aren't already there. Click on the photo to select it. Press the Delete key. Confirm.

  • When I don't have the BROWSER menu option turned on, the WINDOW menu options are un-accessable by mouse

    First of all, I would like to clarify which "menu" is un-accessable.
    I'm referring to the menu that regardless of which program, a user can access by either clicking ALT + SPACE or by clicking the top left corner of the window. I'm NOT referring to the FIREFOX menu options, those I am fine with.
    Normally, I can just move my mouse to the top left corner and double click to close a program. I used to be able to do that too with firefox 3.6. However, due to the new design, when I click the top left corner, I get the orange Firefox drop down menu. This is because firefox, due to the new update, no longer has an independent window bar that is the norm across most programs. The only way I can get this independent menu bar is to enable the browser menu bar. This however, adds two entire layers of bars, which defeats one of the purposes of the update, to give more viewing space
    The Chrome browser also has the tab row on top, however, it doesn't have the issue I brought up. When I click the top left corner of the window, the regular WINDOW menu options pop up.
    The reason why this is important to me is due to the fact that I use two monitors. Normally, I can just move my cursor to the top right and close the window without looking for my right hand side monitor, and then double click the top left hand side of my left hand side monitor to close the window. This is because with a 2 monitor set up, the "X" close button is located inconvinently in the middle of my two screens, forcing me to aim for the tiny small red rectangle, which is why I prefere to double click the top left corner; I don't have to aim.
    I have long been a loyal user of firefox. Browsers like Chrome and others have been out ranking firefox for a long time, mozilla is only playing catch up here...
    While I am glad for the update - better speed due to JaegerMonkey, the added hardware acceleration, the tab groups, and more, if the window menu problem is not resolved soon, this update is going to force me to switch browsers.
    I look forward to a fix, or response on how to resolve this issue.
    Many thanks,
    Still a firefox user... for now

    it's possible but there is likely no need to do this. what exactly is wrong with your computer? a simple reinstall of snow leopard on top of your current system will cure many ills and will preserve your data and applications. and many problems can be solved without reinstalling at all.
    but if you insist on doing a wipe and install boot from the SL install DVD and start disk utility from utilities menu at the top. erase your hard drive using the erase tab in disk utility. then quit disk utility and proceed with the install. and if you do reinstall I suggest you back up your data first. otherwise it will be completely wiped when you erase your hard drive. and you should always back up anyway.

  • Whenever I click on the Itunes icon, a window pops up saying that `The file iTunes Library.itl cannot be read because it was created by a newer version of iTunes`.  I then click ok and the pop up vanishes.  Any ideas as to what I should do?

    What version of iTunes are you using? An .itl file is something that Windows uses, or very old versions of iTunes on Mac. The library file on Macs is now .xml and has been since late iTunes 4.
    Is iTunes running ok without any problems after you OK that message? If it is, then you may be able to ignore it if you can't account for why you're getting it. But make sure you take backups in case something happens in the future.

  • On my old iTunes sofwear iTune store would not open. I uninstalled iTunes and downloaded the new updates and installed it. Now I get a message that said " The file iTunes Libary.itl" cannot be read becouse it was created by a newer version of iTunes.

Now what?

    Unless you've recently attempted to downgrade iTunes this is probably a sign of a corrupt library file. See Empty/corrupt library after upgrade/crash.

  • My email has changed.  Should I create a new Apple ID or add the new address as an alternate to the old account?

    I have an Apple ID that uses an old email address.  Would like to use current email.  Should I update my old ID, create a new one or just add the new address as an alternate email for the old account?  I understand there are issues with updating apps if you change your ID.  Can someone please explain the best way to set this up?

    Contact iTunes support, explain the situation & ask that they add your old apps to the download queue of your new Apple ID. If they do so(they most likely will), delete the old apps from your iTunes library & move all files to trash:

  • Thunderbird is no longer able to connect to internet (sending/receiving email, updating, creating a new account,...Firefox connects well

    Version 24.4.0 worked fine until yesterday (2014-04-06) running under windows 8.1 and suddenly it could no longer connetc to internet (sending/receiving email, updating, creating a new account,..). No change was done on my accounts configuration. Other applications connect correctly to internet. Some Windows 8.1 updates were automaticaly applied during the same period (??).
    Any suggestion would be appreciate
    Rgds

    Thank you for your answer. Of course before posting I checked the differetn relmated topics..
    As I explained nothing changed between the moment Thunderbird worked and the moment it stopped working. I checked the firewall (Norton intenet security) and the firewall of my router (Netgear). Nothing relates to Thunderbird.
    I cans get my mail from another workqtation (ubuntu/evolution) with the same provider (same parameters). I just wonder if the last windows 8.1 updates could provoke this trouble...
    For the moment I cannot get rid of this.

  • After trying to install the new update, I am getting a message from Windows saying that an MC file is missing, reintall Itunes-which I have now done 3 times. How do I fix this?

    I received the new update from Itunes and after installing, I couldnt get into my Itunes.  I get a message from Windows saying that an MC file is missing and  to reinstall I tunes.  I have reinstalled 3 times, the first time I didn't remove the old version, I installed the update over it.  Next I tried the repair function under Control Panel.  After that, I uninstalled Itunes and reinstalled again from the website.  I still get the same message about missing files from Windows.

  • Is the latest update to the 6th gen nano a software download or does it come with the new watch faces and larger icons out of the box

    Apple shows the new 6th gen nano with the new selection of watch faces and lager icons etc as per new update, but stores still have the 6th gen nano with just 3 watch faces and smaller icons etc. Is the newer spec just a software update that i do after purchase or does it come updated out of the box?
    Thx

    It should come out of the box with the new 1.2 update, but if it doesn't you can simply connect it to iTunes, download, and install the update from there.

  • The new updated version of iMovie 10 won't let me open my previous files I created before the update today. I have a wedding that I'm trying to finish and deliver and now I can't because that file version won't open. I keep getting an error message

    Hello,
    Please help me figure this out. I'm very unhappy at the moment. I'm fustrated and don't have any idea how to revert to the original version before the update was done on iMovie 10. I NEVER hated APPLE until NOW!! I love APPLE products and apps so please help me stay in that mindset. So I worked on some movie projects when I got my macbook pro 6 months ago. I update reguarly. I saw the update prompt and honestly, I did not think I would have ANY issuess with opening my previous files that I created only a few months ago with this updated version.The new updated version of iMovie 10 won't let me open my previous files I created before the update today. I have a wedding that I'm trying to finish and deliver and now I can't because that file version won't open. I keep getting an error message and the iMovie app closes. Last night I saw the file and tried to open it but no luck. Error message came up again. I reboot and turned off my laptop for the evening and tried again just now but nothing!! I need that video. My job depends on it! I worked so hard on this wedding video and now it's lost and won't open. I work another job and don't have much time. I really don't want to start all over again. Please help me. Thanks so much for your assistance.

    I also have Jolly's problem. I found the iMovie 9.0.9 folder and tried to launch the older version of iMove. It would not launch. I removed all of the iMovie preferences from the Preferences folder, removed iMove 10 from the applications folder, and restarted my Mac. iMove 9.0.9 still won't launch and I can't access my videos created with the older version of iMovie. Is there a way to uninstall iMovie 10 and reinstall iMovie 9.0.9?
    I am running Yosemitie on a  iMac.
