When I click on itunes it pulls up an apple player.  How do I get it back to itunes.

Yesterday I was using ITunes just fine on my school computer.  Today when I turned it on and clicked on Itunes it pulled up a apple mini player.  I X it out and tried again from the program list.  It pulled up the apple player again, no itunes.  Where is Itunes?  It is gone?  How do I get it to open?  I am a music teacher and this is a major problem for me!

Hey bnbogden,
Thanks for the question. It sounds like iTunes is opening up to the mini player. To exit out of the mini player, simply click the “Switch from Mini Player” button (the square button below the close button):
iTunes 11 for Windows: Customize the iTunes window

You can also expand the MiniPlayer to an album artwork tile. When you move the pointer over the artwork, controls and song information appear.
Thanks,
Matt M.

    From your OLD computer...
    Copy your ENTIRE iTunes FOLDER to an External Drive... and then from the External Drive to your New Computer..

  • Authorized device was erased. Downloaded iTunes. Says my iPod is already synced to a library. Where do I access that library and how do i get it back on iTunes? I tried manually move songs in disk mode. Bunch of data on ipod, how to remove?

    One of my authorized devices was erased. I downloaded iTunes. Says my iPod is already synced to a library. It will allow me transfer purchased songs but not songs I had that were downloaded off of my CD's. Where do I access that library and how do i get it back on iTunes? I tried manually move songs in disk mode. Now I have a bunch of data on ipod and I don't know how to remove it. It basically copied all my itunes files from my C drive onto ipod in my efforts to move the library. 

    When I use find file http://www.macupdate.com/app/mac/30073/find-file (which does tend to find files that "Finder" can't), it's not coming up with any other itunes library files that have been modified in the past week, which I know it would have been - unfortunately, I don't have a very recent backup of the hard drive.  It would be a few months old so it wouldn't have the complete library on it....any ideas?  I'm wondering if restarting the computer might help but have been afraid to do so in case it would make it harder to recover anything...I was looking at this thread https://discussions.apple.com/thread/4211589?start=0&tstart=0 in the hopes that it might have a helpful suggestion but it's definitely a different scenario.

  • When i connect my iphone to itunes, the ringtones folder has disappeared..How do i get it back

    when i connect my iphone to itunes, on the left hand side when my device shows up..i click the down arrow and the ringtones folder is not there....so i cant add custom ring tones...how do i get it back?

    Apparently it does need to be restored because that is what it is requesting. You will need to restore it as New or from a recent backup if you made one.

    I had my computer worked on recently.  When I got it back, I had to reinstall itunes.  I synced my iphone and lost all my contacts.  How do I get them back?

    Synch your contacts back from whichever program on your computer you've stored them in (Outlook, Address Book) or from your cloud service.
    Not using your phone as indended and didn't have your contacts on your computer or with a cloud service?  Then they're gone.

    Connect the iPod, open iTunes, right click the iPod name in the sidebar and choose "Transfer purchases".

    I have a MacBook Pro, its 1 year old.  I'm trying to set up my ICloud on it, and when I go to "preferences", (it says to go to "Preferences" in the instructions,) and then "click" on "ICloud", but my ICloud is not there.  How can I get "ICloud back into "my preferences". 

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    This suggests you don't have the right operating system. OS X 10.7.2 or better is required for iCloud, which operating system do you have.

    Hello compugrrl998,
    Thank you for the details of the issue you are experiencing with watching The Walking Dead on your Apple TV.  I am sure you are eager to watch it on your television. 
    Have you tried checking specifically in Movies > Purchased or TV Shows > Purchased on the Apple TV?
    Play previous purchases on Apple TV
    You need Apple TV (2nd generation or later) to play content on Apple TV. Some features require the latest version of Apple TV software. If they're available in 1080p, you can play previously-purchased 720p HD TV shows and movies in 1080p.
    Movies and TV shows
    On the Apple TV main menu, choose Movies > Purchased or TV Shows > Purchased.
    Select the item you want to view.
    Choose Play.
    Download past purchases

    If you are looking there and not seeing the episodes, I recommend verifying that you are signed in with the same Apple ID on the Apple TV that you are signed in with on your iPhone.

  • How do you get music back into iTunes?

    I know that if you delete a song from iTunes, it still stays on your computer, just not in iTunes. Since I have Windows, the deleted songs still stay as a Quicktime file in my documents/my music/itunes. I accidentily deleted "complilations" which had around 50 songs on it... but was weird was it didnt ask me if i wanted to delete the artist, it just did it. but other then burning the songs to a CD and uploading them again, does anybody know a way to get them back to itunes? Thanks in advance.

  • My computer crashed, i have my library on an external drive, so how do i get it back into itunes?

    Okay so my dad keeps refusing to get a new computer, or a separate laptop for me. Iritatingly, it continues to crash so severely that the hardrive has been wiped clean and restored at least 4 times. Ridiculous. Luckily, I was able to save my library from 9/4/11 on an external drive, but i have no idea how to get it back onto itunes now. Seriously, its a problem because my actual ipod was stolen, ergo i cannot load it from that. What do i do.

    This question has to do with how to restore your computer drive if you backed up the computer to an external drive. Did you use backup software or did you just copy the data from the old computer to the new computer? If you just copied, then you need to just copy over the Music folder which should contain the iTunes folder.
