Problems with the iTunes 9 store...

I recently upgraded to iTunes 9, and everything is working fine except for the iTunes store. really, the only problem is that the backround for the store is black, and since the text is in black as well, it makes it impossible to view anything except pictures and what not. i've tried reinstalling it and that hasn't worked. any suggestions?

I have no idea about Safari. The latest version worked fine for me with iTunes 8.x.
Go to HD>Library>Receipts - remove the iTunesX.pkg to the trash.
Drag your iTunes app to the trash. B/U your iTunes Library and .xml files. B/U your iTS purchases.
Find the folder - Previous iTunes Libraries in the iTunes folder - in there is a copy of your previous libraries - select the one that is the date of your upgrade to iTunes 9. Make a copy and rename it - iTunes Library - replace the file named the same in the iTunes Folder. Any additions to iTunes under iTunes 9 will not be in the data base so you will have to add them back once iTunes is open again.
Repair permissions with Disk Utility - Install iTunes 8.x from the Disk Image you downloaded. - repair permissions again.

Open iTunes - if all is well you can empty the trash.

    I have a problem with the iTunes Store, I have an ipod and an iphone 2. I have a PC with Windows Vista Home Premium 2007, entering into iTunes Store on the main screen I get only AppStore, Podcast and iTunes U. In my screen I get only ipad2 Podcast, iTunes U Downloads. My problem is I can not access any application to download music, videos, books, etc..
    ITunes will be installed wrong or what should I do to activate these options?

    Go to the front page of the Store, and click Change Country.  Make sure it is set to the country where you actually are. 
    Then you will be able to see everything that is for sale in your country, which, depending where you live, might or might not include music.

  • Is there a problem with the itunes and quick time download pages or is it my internet.

    Is there a problem with the itunes and quicktime download pages or is it just my internet.

    Some more developments ... the issue appears to be browser-specific. I can't see the download controls at the moment in either IE 8 (I'll get your message) or Safari for Windows 5.0.5 (I'll just get the blank box). But I can see the download controls in Firefox 4 and Chrome (whatever version I have of that).
    So it might be worth installing Firefox and seeing if you can get the downloads via that:

  • Is anyone else having problems with the Canon Online Store?

    In the last month or so, I've had one problem after another with the Canon Online Store; from being unable to delete items from the shopping cart; to not being able to add "in stock" items; disappearing Wish Lists; and just now, I tried to add one lens cap to the 6 or 7 items I already had in the Shopping Cart, and they disappeared.
    I've called, more than once, and I've written, also more than once, to Canon Support about this, but they ignore what I tell them, and tell me there are no problems with the Online Store.  They don't even seem to report to anyone that anyone has complained, because each time is "the first time", even though I've called (more than once) and written (more than once) to them about continuing Online Stores problems.
    Is anyone else having problems with the Canon Online Store?
    Why does Canon not care to track reported problems with the storefront part of their web-site? 
    I'm not trying to insult Canon, it's just that I've been a Canon customer for less than 3 months, and the're only batting .333, so far.  Canon Support was very quick to respond about a concern I had that a 50mm f/1.4 I had just purchased was authentic or not.  In trying to register that lens, I looked up on the Canon web site where to find the serial number.  Since my new lens did not have any numbers there, I was concerned I had been sold a fake.  But, then Canon Support sent me link to a different online document that showed a few different places where it might be, and there it was. 
    Is Canon like that with other problems, as well?  Or is their "batting" average better than my very limited experience? 
    I just love my Rebel T5i, and my Canon lenses (from "the Kit brothers of the Cropped Frame coral":  EF-S 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6 IS STM, and EF-S 70-300mm f/4-5.6 IS USM; to the "Truly Nifty Fifty", the 50mm f/1.4 USM, [the f/1.8 is just a "thrifty fifty"], and finally, the "Super-Macro" MP-E 65mm f/2.8 1x-5x Macro)!

    Hi Danny.  Thanks for replying.
    I only use my desktop PC to access Canon's web site, and I've been using Mozilla Firefox for years.  And, yes, it is the latest version.  Since Canon REFUSES to support the use of Firefox on it's web site, WHAT BROWSER DOES CANON SUPPORT?  WHEN did Canon STOP SUPPORTING Firefox?
    I've been told that there are 2 pending orders in my account.  Yet, I NEVER placed those orders!  WHY CAN'T CANON SEE THAT THIS IS A PROBLEM??? 
    Instead of off-target suggestions, and pasted boilerplate REFUSALS TO EVEN LOOK at this issue, I would prefer it if Canon went "old school", and FIXED THE PROBLEM, in the first place!  But, maybe that's a bit too grown up of an answer for you! 
    "Award-winning" support???   And, just exactly WHAT AWARD did Canon "support" WIN for CONSISTANTLY IGNORING REPORTED PROBLEMS???  The OSTRICH?
    Please pull your head out, and FIX this problem, OR YOU ARE THE PROBLEM!!!
    Thank you for your "prompt" attention to this matter!

  • Any idea to fix the iTunes 12.0.1.26 connectivity problem with the iTunes Store?

    My operating system is Windows 7 Home Premium. Although the application works fine such as playing music, downloading app updates and music. However, when I attempted to make the connection between iTunes Store and the current version of iTunes, the iTunes window began to froze, then the error message showed that there was a problem with the application that causes it to shut down. Any ideas on how to resolve this?

    Hey *9,
    Thanks for the question. If I understand correctly, iTunes unexpectedly quit. I would recommend that you read this article, it may be able to help you isolate or resolve the issue.

  • Serious problem with AppStore/iTunes WiFi Store. Cannot connect

    Hi
    I has a serious problem with my iPod Touch: When I tries to open App Store on my iTouch, I usually gets this message: *"Cannot connect to iTunes Store"*, often followed by *"Cannot retrieve download information. Please connect with iTunes."*. iTunes on my MacBook seems to work just fine.
    I might also be able to use the AppStore for a minute or so, and then the problems are coming back. All other internet-enabled apps is working fine, except the iTunes WiFi Store who's having the same problems as AppStore.
    What should I do?

    That would be a wonderful suggestion if my computer could connect to iTunes. Since about July my computer keeps giving me error 11222. I've tried everything on the support discussion board, but they haven't solved the problem either, and my software is up to date. Today instead of giving me the error, it's just been sitting for hours saying "Accessing iTunes Store". I was really hoping that I could just use the wifi on the iPod to access the iTunes and AppStore. Any other suggestions until iTunes gets fixed on my computer? Thanks for your help - Lex

  • Is there a problem with the Itunes Windows Installer Programme?

    The reason I ask is because I had a perfectly working Itunes programme on my external hard drive, from which I then deleted all the double ups of songs I had and then could not gain auto. updates of the dsongs I wished to add to itunes.
    It said to reinstall Itunes, which I tried to do and since this time the installation stops when installing the registry components and the following message appears -
    There is a problem with the Windows Installer Package. A programme required for this to install could not be run. Comntact your support personall or package provider.
    Can anyone help please?
    Thank you in advance for any help forwarded
    MrG
    P.S. - Not that well versed in computer speak, so laymans terms welcomed.

    This message often relates to a problem with Apple software update.
    Go to Add remove programs and find Apple Software update. Try repairing it.
    Select Change>>repair.
    That probably will not work
    Then try uninstalling any instance you find of Apple Software update. That probably will not work either.
    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/
    To run the program – All Programs>>Windows Install Cleanup
    Remove any instance you find of Apple software update with the cleanup utility.
    Download a fresh copy of the iTunes installer and save it on your desktop.

  • Problem with the iTunes store on my ipad 2.

    I have notice here in the last month that I can only download certain thing on my iPad 2. I have gone thru everything and even reset my iPad and the iTunes store is still showing that I can only download certain stuff and that go to books too. I have updated the software and everything and which my husband iphone app store can let him download everything including the free and/or the not free apps. Need to know what I should do cause i'm all out of options and i'm about to say the **** with it and go by me a tablet to use instead...

    One likely cause is restrictions.  Is your iPad restricted (Settings > General > Restrictions)?

  • Is anyone having problems with the iTunes trailers app

    My iTunes trailers app is having problems loading certain movies. Is anyone else experiencing this phnomenon

    Saw this on another post.
    Applecare Senior Advisor Txx Bxxx (I have his contact info in an email he just sent) just confirmed with me that the problem people are having with the App Store not loading is an apple issue with there servers, ITS NOT YOUR IPAD so don't go restoring it!   It's not happening to everyone however but they are looking into it, its really hit or miss.

    Try this first - Reset the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons.
    This works for some users. Not sure why.
    Go to Settings>General>Date and Time> Set Automatically>Off. Set the date ahead by about a year.Then see if you can connect to the store.

  • Problems with the mac app store login/ yosemite installer download

    I am trying to download the yosemite installer from the mac app store, but can't seem to log in. I receive no error message. What could be causing these issues? I am using a MacBook Pro with OS X 10.6.8.

    Based on the numerous posts regarding iTunes and the App Store, there appears to be an issue at Apple's end. Although Apple has not provided any indication on the cloud status page.

  • Does anyone else have this problem with the iTunes visualizer?

    I rarely use the iTunes visualizer but, when I do, it gives me the option of either using the newer one or the classic one. I like to use the new one but the problem is that I can only go to "visualizer options" if I am using the classic one. In said options I could set it so that the song info (song title, artist, album title and artwork) stays in the bottom left corner for the entire song. The few times I use the visualizer, I do like to have it up for the whole song--I just think it looks cool, I don't know...
    Anyway, since I can't get the options for the new visualizer, the song info always fades away after the first five seconds or so of the song.
    Anyone else realize this?? And does it annoy anyone else lol?

    Well, I did a search on apple.com and found this:
    http://www.apple.com/itunes/itunes-news/2010/04/the-hidden-itunes-visualizer-con trols.html
    "The Visualizer -- graphics that swoop and pulse with the music -- has been part of iTunes' DNA from the beginning. And because its creators wanted to interact with the graphics in real time as well as watch them, Visualizer includes some single keystroke commands that change what you see while it runs. But these commands are hidden by default lest they obstruct the graphics.
    Use the Show/Hide Visualizer command in the View menu to turn Visualizer on and off, and use the Visualizer menu to select among the choices. If the choice you're using has hidden commands you can see them for a brief time by typing ? while a song is playing and Visualizer is visible. The keystrokes will work regardless of whether the help menu is showing, so if you memorize them it's possible to add Virtuoso Visualizer Player to your list of accomplishments. (For the Visualizer choice called Jelly, available only in iTunes for Mac, try holding the keys down, especially the number keys, for maximum effect.")
    Not that you care. >.<

  • Problem With The iTunes Program

    Whenever we try and open iTunes, it says "The folder 'iTunes Setup' contains an invalid character. Fatal error during installation". It won't let us uninstall/delete the program. We've gone through Add/Remove Programs in the control Pannel. Nothing will work. Whenever we try and download the latest version of iTunes, it pops up with the same message. Anyone know what to do?
