Text Scrambled in iTunes Store

I have had this problem since downloading and installing iTunes 9. Here is how I fixed it (I hope. I haven't shut down and restarted, yet). Remove iTunes 9. Find an iTunes 8.2 version and install it. When you try to open it, it will say your music files can't be opened. Download iTunes 9 and install it over the top of 8.2. It worked for me.

Another thing you can also try with that is the following troubleshooting document:

The text in the iTunes store is appearing in what I think is Chinese.

The text in the iTunes store is appearing in Chinese. Not all the text but alot of the text. The prices of everything is in Chinese. Is there some settings I need to change. This just started happening.

Click on the store icon and when it opens scroll to the bottom of the main pane where you'll find the "My Store" drop down menu. Click on the flag icon and choose your own flag from the window that appears, this will return you to the US store.

ITunes Store TEXT Size ----- No Way to Increase it.

The size of text for the iTunes Store is so small on a MacBook 13" screen you can hardly read it. Especially when they put a dozen or so titles (e.g. audiobooks) on one screen. Does anyone know if there is a simple way to increase the fonts displayed with the images? The good old Apple+ button combination doesn't work like on HTML pages.

Thanks...I had tried that but it creates all kinds of other inconveniences on a 13" screen. CHM

Itunes store visibility issues

Hello, Since the last few upgrades, I have not been able to see any of the characters or text in my Itunes store. Since the upgrade to the black background, I can only see some images of an album, but in no way can I view songs or even buy them. I heard that this has been discussed and apologize if there's already been a fix, but does anyone have any solutions? Or do we have to wait for a FEW more upgrades to get it right? Honestly I thought that this would be one of the priority fixes, because I can't be the only one who spends a considerable amount of money on Itunes, and is now shopping elsewhere.. Thanks for everyone's time...!!

ITunes Store in Gibberish

Ever since my iTunes updated to version 9, all the text on the iTunes store is illegible...almost looks like Russian! Anyone else have this problem? Sometimes if I mouse over the text, it reverts to normal, but not all the time.
Here are some images:

Thoughts?

I just posted on the hieroglyphics thread. I posted that in my iTunes store and also Mike's, who I replied to, our "language" is off by exactly one letter to the left in the alphabet (TV Shows being translated as SU Rgnvr). But yours is different. I couldn't figure out on your first screen shot, but your second one I could see that yours is off by exactly two letters to the right in the alphabet - OWUKE is MUSIC, etc. Sorry I can't help, but ... someone from the local Apple store told me it might be in Spanish. Uh, gee, thanks!

ITunes Store Scrambled Text after Version 9 Upgrade

I have recently upgraded to iTunes ver 9.0.1.8. Having done so when I access the iTunes store the text within the store is completely unreadable. The main banner advert is readable, the text within each thumbnail is readable, but beyond that, total jibberish. It is the same within each store application. Please can someone help?

I'm having the a similar problem on my work computer as in order to download upgrades I have to sign on as an administrator and then sign back on with my normal account. The upgrade works fine when I'm signed on as an administrator but when I sign back into my normal account the view is scrambled...anyone have any ideas about that? I've never had this problem before, just download the upgrade in the admin account, click on the 'agree' button when the licence agreement pops up and then sign on to my normal account, open iTunes, click the agree button and then work away with the upgraded programme but this time when I log back into my standard username, the programme won't run properly...I have restarted, checked for updates again and it just says that my version is updated but still wont appear properly on the screen...it's downloaded podcast updates and synced my ipod but the screen wont come up...very strange...any ideas?

Why isn't my iTunes store loading properly? It lists everything in text without images, and I can't seem to access the store when I try to search for music or movies etc.

1) The best way to relocate the iTunes library folder is to move the entire iTunes folder with all subfolders to the new path, then press and hold down shift as start iTunes and keep holding until prompted to choose a library, then browse to the relocated folder and open the file iTunes Library.itl inside it.
If you've done something different then provide some more details about what is where and I should be able to help.
2) Purchases on the device should automatically transfer to a Purchased on <DeviceName> playlist, but it my depend a bit on whether automatic iCloud downloads are enabled. If there is a cloudy link then the transfer might not happen. You can use File > Devices > Transfer Purchases. In iTunes you should also check out iTunes Store > Quick Links > Purchased > Music > Not on this computer.
3) Backup the device, then immediately restore it. In some cases you need to add a restore as new device into that equation. Obbviously not to be attempted until you're sure all your media is in your library. See Recover your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device should it be needed.
4) I believe there is complimentary 1 incident 90-day support with hardware purchases, but no free software support for iTunes itself. AppleCare gets you a different level of support.

TS2972 I downloaded text me ap from the itunes store onto my computer but it won't open, how do I use it?

Hello I just downloaded "text me" ap from the itunes store to my desktop computer, but it won't open!! How do I use it? I tried right clicking and double clicking but nothing happens... Please advise.

If you have a rescue email address set up on your account then you can try going to https://appleid.apple.com/ and click 'Manage your Apple ID' on the right-hand side of that page and log into your account. Then click on 'Password and Security' on the left-hand side of that page and on the right-hand side you might see an option to send security question reset info to your rescue email address.
If you don't have a rescue email address then go to Express Lane and select 'iTunes' from the list of 'products' in the middle of the screen.
Then select 'iTunes Store', and on the next screen select 'Account Management'
Next choose 'iTunes Store Account Security' and fill in that you'd like your security questions/answers reset.
You should get an email reply within, I think, about 24 to 48 hours (and check your Spam folder as well as your Inbox)

ITunes store is all blank boxes and blue text. How do I fix that?

I downloaded the latest version of iTunes and when I tried to access the iTunes store, 1) it takes FOREVER to come up, 2) it doesn't come up most of the time and is a blank white screen instead 3) when it does come up, it is a bunch of blank white boxes and the text is all in blue. Also the genius doesn't load either and takes forever.

Try this,
Close your iTunes,
Go to command Prompt -
(Win 7/Vista) - START/ALL PROGRAMS/ACCESSORIES, right mouse click "Command Prompt", choose "Run as Administrator".
(Win XP SP2 & above) - START/ALL PROGRAMS/ACCESSORIES/Command Prompt
In the "Command Prompt" screen, type in
netsh winsock reset
Hit "ENTER" key
Restart your computer.
Now launch your iTunes and see if it is working now.

Commenting via iPod in iTunes store: lost text if nickname already taken

I'd like to report a bug that really bugs me. I'll also send this to some Apple support address but would like to inform the community as well. Also to see if I'm the only one or if I'm doing sth wrong.
On my iPod Touch 3G (3.1.3, Darn!), when I want to comment on or rate an app or a podcast in the iTunes store, after logging in I'm asked for an alias prior to the headline and text of the comment. I choose one, then I write my comment, slowly and painfully on the small touch screen keyboard. When I send it, the store tells me the nickname is already taken and ... deletes my comment!
WHY?
Could the store please check beforehand if the name is ok or at least not delete the comment? I have to rewrite the whole thing and try another name.
Is this a bug or am I doing sth wrong? Is anybody else annoyed by this?

Well,
A Jason from the Apple support has answered my mail. It's obviously not a bug but sth that could be enhanced in future versions of the store/ iTunes.
I wonder why nobody else has so far had this problem.

No artwork/images in iTunes Store, just text

Just upgraded to 9.2, everything seems to be going OK except that there is no artwork in the iTunes store.
All the images have a "?" displayed and only text is visible.
Any ideas? (My album artwork works just fine, my ipod touch syncs fine too).
Thanks.

Excellent news.
Don't beat youreslf up too much about not finding the solution via searching. The OpenDNS thing is fairly rare as these things go, and references to it tend to get swamped by references to a few other issues with iTunes 9.x versions that can stop images in the Store from displaying properly. Give yourself a pat on the back instead for describing your issue really well, which allowed me to think of the OpenDNS thing straight off.

Upgraded to Itunes 10.5 yesterday and have no "text" at all only when I access Itunes Store, using Windows XP

Upgraded to 10.5 Itunes yesterday and have no "text" anywhere except in Itunes store. I do not even see the Toolbar drop menus up top (File, Help, etc.) I cannot make out any music in my library. I wish to upgrade my Ipad to IOS5 but am afraid to sync it because I won't see what I'm doing it. I saw a similar link where Windows may not have a Font and installed all uninstalled fonts to see if that would work, but did not. Do I need to uninstall Itunes and reinstall? I have Windows XP. Really not sure if it's an Apple/Itunes problem or a Windows problem. Haven't had any issues with any other updates.
Any help is appreciated....

So after a month of trying to figure all this out I FINALLY fixed the problem!
Before you do anything just go to your destop > right click personalize (this is for windows 7 - might be different for XP; I honestly forgot, but same idea) > find "window color" > select "advance appearance settings
(I think can be found by just typing "window color and appearance" in the search from the start menu).
Finally select "active title bar" (If the font is SEGOE UI, then following the link is the best thing to do; IF ITS NOT, I would think you can just follow the same steps and modify accordingly to how you want your fonts to look in iTunes). http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/windows_7-desktop/how-to-change -system-default-font-in-all-parts/dfce15db-7337-420a-a42e-517521a8502e
Hopefully this helps!!! Worked for me!

Can't read text in iTunes store since downloading latest version

Since I downloaded the latest version of iTunes, I now have a black background in the iTunes Store window and can't see any of the text - names of albums/tracks etc. The album artwork is fine, but the text is either completely invisible or vaguely appears in a very small, faint, white font when I move the mouse pointer over it. This is only on my ancient PC (XP); my new laptop (with Vista) has no problems with it at all.
Any suggestions gratefully received!

This worked for me:
OK found the issue solution which worked for me. Thanks to Micky on another forum.
"I checked my graphic settings and found that my system use colour profile provided by monitor's manufacturer. Then I added sRGB profile and set it as default and after that iTunes background in iTunes store was white as it should and all options and text are visible now.
For Windows: exact procedure may be different on various OS and monitors, but the steps will be similar. Open - My Computer > control panel > display > settings > advanced > color management. Click Add > select sRGB Color Space Profile.icm > Add Select sRGB Color Space Profile > Set as Default Click Apply > OK > OK Your monitor should now display the sRGB color space.
Had to restart and for good measure I physically turned off the monitor (which I probably haven't done in who knows how long)counted to ten and then turned it back on."
