Problem resizing ITunes Window

Somehow my ITunes window has gotten supersized, adn I can't get to the bottom toresize it. Using the button only gives me an abbreviated ITunes window which can't be resized. What can I do?

I suspect you did NOT TRY what Niel suggested: I would guess you simply clicked the button. That does cause the window to shrink to the mini-player size. What Niel suggested is to Option click the button (hold down the Option key while you click on the button). This will cause the window to resize itself to fit the available screen space.

Resizing iTunes window

I recently used Migration Assistant to transfer documents and applications from my 19" iMac to my new 13" MacBook Pro. Once complete I opened iTunes and found that the window was so large that I am now unable to toggle it to a smaller size. I have tried resizing the window on my iMac and transferring again to my MacBook, I have tried deleted iTunes application from the applications folder and reinstalling, but to no avail.
Any suggestions?
Cheers,
Matt

success! haha, simple as.
thanks a mil

Resize itunes window?

Hello: for iTunes 10.6.3 on OS 10.5.8 ppc, is there a way to get the shrink corner to shrink down the iTunes window to a much smaller size? With this new verson, the window is barely adjustable down, & takes up about 70% of an active screen on this 19 in. widescreen LCD. I downloaded & installed sizewell but doesn't give this "shrinkdown" function. Thanks.

I was not suggesting you change the monitor resolution. I simply wanted to know what it is set at to make "70% of active screen" relevant.

Would you kindly explain "bit smaller than the System prefs window." ? Did you use terminal or 3rd party sw to get there? Thank you.
I opened Apple menu - System prefs.
I can make the iTunes window a bit smaller than that.
It does not drag down any further. It used to in older versions, which I may revert to.
Then something is wrong with your system. It's not iTunes. Going to an older version amy work but you will still have something wrong with your system.
Have you ran Disk First Aid and repaired permissions?

Problems installing iTunes -- Windows XP

A few days ago I went to open my iTunes, however it got stuck/froze while trying to access the itunes store. Had numerous problems with this each time I opened iTunes--even after shutting off and/or restarting my computer. I ended up uninstalling all of the apple programs-- itunes, bonjour, ipod, etc.
After doing so, I downloaded the latest version of itunes form the apple website. It downloads, however when I go to install it I get a message that pops up saying the following:
"iTunes Installer has encountered a problem and needs to close. We are sorry for the inconvenience. If you were in the middle of something the information you were working on might be lost. Please tell Microsoft about this problem. We have created an error report that you can send to us. We will treat this report as confidential and anonymous." I can click on a link that shows me what data the error report contains, and when i do so the error signature is: EventType : InPageError P1 : c000009c P2 : 00000003
On this box that pops up, I have a button to "Debug", "Send Error Report" or "Don't Send"-- I have tried clicking on each one during separate installations, however nothing seems to work.
I've shut my computer off for a while, I've also tried restarting it, and I have also tried downloading an older version of iTunes. I used to have iTunes on this computer for 4+ years and it had been working fine. Can someone PLEASEEE HELP

I got a similar problem though I'm not upgrading because my screen reader, JAWS from Freedom Scientific, and the JAWS scripts for ITunes for the version of JAWS I have is version 10 and the scripts is version 4.1 only works with ITunes version 8.2.1. Now that I've got that out of the way, on to my dilemma. I Get An Error Using ITunes 8.2.1 When Opening
I'm having trouble
with ITunes. When I open it to say play a radio station,
say smooth jazz sky.fm, when I open the application
using WinXP Home Edition service pack 3 all my
windows stuff is up to date, however I get this error
when I select ITunes and press enter on it. Anyone
know how to troubleshoot this? iTunes has encountered a problem and needs to close. We are sorry for the inconvenience.
If you were in the middle of something, the information you were working on
might be lost.
For more information about this error, click here.
Close button or more details button is all I see so I chose close so I can write you, well now I'll leave it to you to give me options in troubleshooting
this. Thanks so much for your valuable feedback and help.
Also I tried to uninstall it, deleted all associated files, probably accidently deleted the Apple software update stuff including bonjovi or whatever it is called, hahaha, anyway, I'm a mess and don't know what to do regarding this problem can someone please email me at [email protected] because I'm at a loss as to what caused this and what to do about it. If I were to press the more details button, I get: iTunes
Error signature
AppName: itunes.exe AppVer: 8.2.1.6 ModName: unknown
ModVer: 0.0.0.0 Offset: 10001040

okay, this looks to be the key piece of information:
Windows ® Installer. V 3.01.4000.1823
that suggests you've got Windows Installer 3.1v1 (or 3.0) on your PC at the moment. try upgrading to Windows Installer 3.1v2. see:
Windows Installer 3.1 v2 (3.1.4000.2435) is available
does an itunes install go through properly with a 3.1v2 in place?

ITunes: Window resizing

This might be a no-brainer, yet as a 20-year Mac guy I am confounded. I don't understand how to auto-resize iTunes window so all of it is visible on my MacBook Pro screen. This happens, for example, when I was using iTunes on a second, larger display, then minimized the application, and then disconnected that display from the Mac. When I maximize iTunes after disconnecting, the window is too large for the laptop display.
Anyone know how to resize the window so that it fits the dimensions of the laptop display, or to resize it so I can grab the resize handle and manually do it?
This is driving me kinda crazy.
Thanks.

Thanks for the tips, but an AppleScript doesn't appear necessary. I found another thread in your referenced thread that suggests an Option-click on the green button. It worked fine!

TS1538 Hi, I have the problem which iTunes cannot detect my iPhone 4s. I tried the steps you have provided in your troubleshooting, but it won't work for me because the Apple Mobile Devilce is perfectly installed on my windows.

Hi, I have the problem which iTunes cannot detect my iPhone 4s. I tried the steps you have provided in your troubleshooting, but it won't work for me because the Apple Mobile Devilce is perfectly installed on my windows. However, the driver "Microsoft teredo Tunneling adapter" has a yellow exclamation mark, which i believe means it's not installed correctly or something is wrong with it. This driver is under the Network Adapters (Please see picture below).
This is what happens when I connect my iPhone 4s to my laptop (Windows 7 Starter 32-bit)
1. The phone charges it's battery
2. I can open it in My Computer and import/export media files.
In iTunes
3. It start to sync until step 3 then stops.
4. The iPhone option with an arrow appears beside the iTunes Store, but when the arrow is clicked it disappears.
I hope you can provide me a solution for this problem.
Thanks,
Ralph

Hi ralphagir,
Welcome to the Apple Support Communities!
For your iTunes issue with it not recognizing your iPhone, I would go ahead and suggest deleting iTunes and all of its components from your Windows computer and installing fresh.
Removing and reinstalling iTunes and other software components for Windows Vista, Windows 7, or Windows 8
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1923
Remove iTunes and related components from the Control Panel
Use the Control Panel to uninstall iTunes and related software components in the following order and then restart your computer:
iTunes
Apple Software Update
Apple Mobile Device Support
Bonjour
Apple Application Support (iTunes 9 or later)
Important: Uninstalling these components in a different order, or only uninstalling some of these components may have unintended affects.
As far as the arrow button that you click and the iPhone disappears, it sounds like you may be clicking on the eject button. Please take a look at the following article for information on the eject button in iTunes.

Problem installing iTunes 10.6 on Windows XP

I'm trying to install iTunes 10.6, but I get this error message every time:
"There is a problem with this Windows Installer package. A program run as part of the setup did not finish as expected. Contact your support personnel or package vendor."
When I try to install the new version, it goes through the whole process of copying files, validating install, etc., but I get the error message at the end.
I've tried downloading a fresh copy of the file from the Apple web site but that didn't help either. I still get the same error message every time I try to install iTunes 10.6. (I currently have iTunes 10.2.1.1 installed on my PC.)
How do I get the new version to install successfully?

"There is a problem with this Windows Installer package. A program run as part of the setup did not finish as expected. Contact your support personnel or package vendor."
Perhaps let's first try updating your Apple Software Update.
Launch Apple Software Update ("Start > All Programs > Apple Software Update"). Does it launch and offer you a newer version of Apple Software Update? If so, choose to install just that update to Apple Software Update. (Deselect any other software offered at the same time.)
If the ASU update goes through okay, try another iTunes install. Does it go through without the errors this time?

Problem with iTunes in Windows XP

I am having a problem loading iTunes in Windows XP service pack 2. Every time I click on it, it seems to load for a little while, and then a window pops up saying "iTunes has encountered a problem and needs to close". When I clicked on the details tab, it showed me a bunch of stuff I couldn't understand. Here's what it said:
AppName: itunes.exe
AppVer:7.6.2.9
ModName: unknown
ModVer: 0.0.0.0
Offset: 00000000
How do I get iTunes to work right?

The first question, Have you installed any of the following:
ACE & K-Lite mega codecs package, QT alternative, Storm codec, WinAVI video converter
These are know to cause troubel with Quicktime and must be uninstalled before proceding.
It is also a good idea to go to your Control Panel and try to launch QUicktime preferences - you need to be in classic view to see it.
Post any error message in full. This error message can give a clue to the presence of problem codecs if you are not sure.
Next do a removal of Quicktime with installer cleanup, followed by an install of the latest version.
I will give a method for complete removal, cleanup and reinstall of iTunes, Quicktime and related components, but in your case it may be possible to just do the QUicktime part. Don't forget to delete the recommended files from your system32 folder.
== uninstall with cleanup ==
Download a fresh copy of iTunes and the stand alone version of Quicktime
http://www.apple.com/quicktime/download/win.html
http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
Download and install Microsoft Installer cleanup utility, there are instructions on the page as well as the download. Note that what you download is the installer not the program – you have to run it to install the program
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/290301/
Now use the following method to remove iTunes and its components:
XP
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1925
Vista
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1923
If you hit a problem with one of the uninstalls don't worry, carry on with the deleting of files and folders as directed in the method.
Restart your PC.
Run the Microsoft Installer Cleanup Utility. (Start > All Programs > Windows Install Clean Up)
Remove any references you find to the programs you removed - strictly speaking you only need to worry about those programs where the uninstall failed.
restart your PC
Install the stand alone Quicktime and check that it works.
If it does, install iTunes.

I am trying to install iTunes on my PC (using Windows 8.1), but I get this error: "There is a problem with this Windows Installer package.

What seems to be the problem? Help!

Hey madnest,
Thanks for the question. After reviewing your post, it sounds like you are having difficulty installing iTunes in Windows. I would recommend that you read this article, it may be able to help you resolve or isolate the issue.

Yes, I had found a similar solution also. I'm running XP Pro, SP3. I went Control Panels/ Add-Remove programmes/apple software update/ change/ repair. Then run the 10.5 exe.
While the programme updated from version 8 of iTunes, my new iTunes is now a mess. Not all of my music was in the same folder previously but it all showed up on iTunes. Now many albums have been left out, some have only a few tracks and some have two copies of some tracks as well as having other tracks missing. I haven't begun to work on that.

I am trying to upload itunes 10.5, but get a message "There is a problem with this Window Installer Pkg. A program required for this install to complete could not be run. Contact your support personnel or package vendor". What is it I need to do?

I am trying to install itunes 10.5, but during the download I get the following message, "There is a problem with this Window Installer Package. A program required for this install to complete could not be run. Contact your support personanal or package vendor." If this is my personal computer and was able to upgrade to the previous version (pre 10.5), why not now? What is my "package vendor"? And what is it I need to do to fix this? The message is unclear. Unfortunately, I deleted my itunes program, thinking that in doing so, 10.5 would finally load. Now I have no itunes on my computer and unable to sync my iphone. Help!
Thanks - Rick

Hi Rick,
by "repair" I mean I went to the control panel, option - programs and features, and in the list of all my installed programs I selected "Apple Software Update". On top of the screen you find the options Uinstall, Change and Repair. I clicked the repair button and that did the trick. After the repair I could uninstall the program. I also uninstalled iTunes, Apple Application Support, Apple Mobile Device Support en Bonjour, thus all Apple programs. Then I installed iTunes 10.5 again and everything went fine.
Success,
Peter

Repair your Apple software update.
Go to START/ALL PROGRAMS/Apple Software Update. If it offers you a newer version of Apple Software Update, do it but Deselect any other software offered at the same time. Once done, try another iTunes install
If you don't find ASU, go to Control Panel:
START/CONTROL PANEL/Programs n Features/highlight ASU and click REPAIR,

ITunes 10.5 Upgrade fails to Install. The Error Message is: "There is a Problem with this Windows Installer Package. A program run as part of the setup did not finish as expected. Contact your support personnel or package vendor."

When Upgrading on my laptop from iTunes 10.2.11 to 10.5.0 the message I get is: "There is a problem with this Windows Installer Package. Aprogram run as part of the setup did not finish as expected. Contact your support personnel or pacakge vendor.

After reading all these posts, one by one did not resolve my problem until I got the very end. Regardless of what step would resolve your problem, these are the steps I would recomment to everyone for a what seems to be a safe and fool-proof upgrade to iTunes 10.5.
1. Stand alone upgrade to the latest Quicktime version
2. Go to control panel and "change" then select repair to the following applications in the order specified by the post on Oct 27. (Notice I skipped Quicktime because it had been upgrade manually,and Bonjour did not have a "repair" option)
iTunes; Apple Software Update: Mobile Device Support; Apple Applications Support
Some of these applications may not appear if they do not apply to your configuration (no iPhone, or no iPad, or other apple devices).
Once all updated, I did not need to restart nor launch any applications, I simply went straight into the 10.5 upgrade, and where it normally got stuck, this time the installation continued for a while longer until it completed successfully.
Great work everyone who contributed! Thank you very much!
