Text in iPod section of iTunes for windows not totally showing up???

When my iPod/iPhone is connected and I browse different sections of iPod/iPhone are in iTunes for Windows, there are several lines of text instructions. Some of which don't display the entire sentence. This seems very odd since there is plenty of blank screen real estate available.
For example:
In the Summary Section (with iPod/iPhone connected), I see 2 lines of text under Version and 4 lines of text under Summary. None of the sentences can be seen complete.
In the Music section, under Sync, I see 1st line reading "Include music videos" but on the next line I only see "Include voice m..." and the following line I see "Automatically fill free space with songs". So why did the shorter sentence not display complete?
Very odd.

Mine is a brand new machine. Burning software was installed before iTunes was installed. I am looking at this article which points to a possible problem with the GEAR drivers: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS2308
It also points to the afs.sys and afs2k.sys drivers as a potential problem. I've verified that I don't have these drivers on my machine.
When I go to the GEAR site, it tells you to manually uninstall the GEAR drivers and install the latest ones. First, manual uninstall which involves editing the registry. Really? While I'm quite the expert at registry editing, NO CONSUMER should ever be told to edit the registry to delete anything. Second, if in fact the GEAR drivers are the problem, shouldn't iTunes install the right ones? This is a prime example of poor software engineering at its core.

  • TS4062 My daughter's ipod touch 4th Gen cannot sync over wi-fi and cannot be seen in the devices section of itunes for windows.

    My daughter's ipod touch 4th Gen cannot sync over wi-fi and cannot be seen in the devices section of itunes for windows.  I have gone through all steps of the troubleshooting guide.  All of our other ios devices are wi-fi sync-ing fine.   Can anyone help?
    Not sure how long this has been a problem.  Kids are young and I manually manage most things but recently having music synced is an issue.  All software has been kept up to date.

  • Itunes for windows not running when I open it

    Brought new ipod nano, followed all instructions to the letter and have installed, uninstalled, reinstalled etc etc itunes about 20 times already and have had enough. My system is only 2 years old running windows xp and has the appropriate specifications, have turned off pop up blockers etc etc and still won't run. It says that quicktime and itunes has been successfully installed on my computer and quicktime will run when i click on the icon but when I go to click on itunes icon it does nothing not even an error message. PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE HELP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    Okay.
    (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?

  • Music purchased on iTunes for Windows not showing on iPhone

    Bear with me here people. I am very experienced with Mac computers but know way too little about iDevices, iTunes, and especially Windows
    A friend bought an iPhone about 3 months ago and has downloaded purchased music from her PC to her phone successfully since the purchase. Apparently, starting in the last day or so, she purchased music via the iTunes store and now can't find the songs on her phone.
    So you have about as much info as I at this point. Any thoughts that I can relay to the lady in distress? A simple setting change?
    Thanks in advance,

  • Can't download Itunes for Windows (NOT 64 bit)

    there is no itunes i can download that will work with NON-64 bit windows. I clicked on both version 11 and 10.7 and the download is 64 bit! where is the correct software?

    +Could not open key:+
    HKeyLocalmachine/software/mozillaplugins/@Apple.com/itunes
    That's an unusual key to be getting an error on.
    Does your XP user account have administrative rights? If, so let's have a look at the permissions on that key.
    Go "Start > Run", type regedit and hit enter.
    Expand HKEYLOCALMACHINE
    Expand SOFTWARE
    Expand MozillaPlugins
    Right-click on the @apple.com/folder and select "Permissions".
    Select your User Account name in the list.
    Is there a check in the box under "Allow" next to "Full Control"?

  • ITunes for windows not starting

    When I try to start iTunes from anywhere on my computer, be it desktop, applications list, or from the run option, I can't get it to work. The shortcut on the desktop flashes to a blank page icon and then nothing happens. Nothing seems to be loading or opening, and I've tried to redownload iTunes and tried every mode of opening it I know, but it still won't open. Help or tips would be appreciated.
