Why is my Itunes home screen not displaying properly?

As you can see, certain text areas don't display properly. I have Windows 7, and I've played with the resolution (from max to min, including doing computer restarts), I have reinstalled Itunes, my graphics card driver, updated windows with all updates (including the optional ones), and changed font size etc.. from within Itunes. At one point I was very computer literate, but I can't seem to figure this one out. Any ideas?
I also ran a full scan by norton antivirus, nothing was found. Any ideas? This is also a bad time to have to deal with this, as my iphone just crashed and lost all of its memory, but I have trouble selecting what music/apps etc I need to restore it. Even the restore screen is too messed up to use.
Thanks for any help!

I found another thread that suggests I need a resolution greater than 1024 by 768, but I'm currently running at 1600 by 1200. I am using our bigscreen (~60") as we don't have a computer monitor. This is a family computer, so maybe someone changed a setting that I wasn't aware of? I don't think Itunes was like this at the beginning, but I can't pinpoint when the screen actually started to look like this.
Also, where else can I go for help, without paying for it? (I have trouble paying for help with a free application, especially after buying a large number of apple products)
Thanks again!

Why is my iPhone 4 screen not displaying properly?

Hello everyone,
I have had my iPhone 4 now for a few months and it has worked fine until today.
The screen suddenly displayed multi-coloured moving lines and coloured blocks randomly in succession, before turning bright green.
I plugged it into my computer, whereby it wouldn't restore (errors 14, 14, 9 , 2, 9) and I have now given up. I have tried to sort it but the screen always goes back to it's psychadelic display at some point in the restore & update and now it won't even switch on.
Please help me!
Thanks in advance!
Nicola

Itunes 9 Store - Not Displaying Properly

I am having problems with the iTunes store not displaying properly. I can see the album art, but the background is black. I can not see any of the text and I can not see most of the blue play buttons. This all occurred after upgrading to Itunes 9. What options would I need to change in my anti-virus/security programs in order to potentially correct this issue. I really don't want to have to totally uninstall Itunes and reinstall everything. Help is appreciated.

Home screen not displaying right

PLEASE HELP ME!!! My documents on my home screen are scattered around and I can't move them back to the place I want them! Whenever I try they just move back to the place before!

Take these steps if the cursor changes from an arrow to a white "prohibited" symbol when you try to move an icon on the Desktop.
Sometimes the problem may be solved just by logging out or restarting the computer. Try that first, if you haven't already done it. Otherwise, continue.
Select the icon of your home folder (a house) in the sidebar of a Finder window and open it. The Desktop folder is one of the subfolders. Select it and open the Info window. In the General section of the window, the Kind will be either Folder or something else, such as Anything.
If the Kind is Folder, uncheck the box marked Locked. Close the Info window and test.
If the Kind is not Folder, make sure the Locked box is not checked and that you have Read & Write privileges in the Sharing & Permissions section. Then close the Info window and do as follows.
Back up all data before continuing.
Triple-click anywhere in the line below on this page to select it:
xattr -d com.apple.FinderInfo Desktop
Copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C.
Launch the built-in Terminal application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad and start typing the name.
Paste into the Terminal window by pressing command-V. You should get a new line ending in a dollar sign ($). Quit Terminal.
Relaunch the Finder.
If the problem is now resolved, and if you use iPhoto, continue.
Quit iPhoto if it's running. Launch it while holding down the option key. It will prompt you to select a library. Choose the one you want to use (not the Desktop folder.)

Home screen not restored properly after backup

I'm pretty sure I've gone about this the right way because in the past it has worked fine, but we've added a few more Apps to our devices and now the home screen layout doesn't get restored properly when using Apple Configurator (latest version).
Supervised one iPad, installed Apps and arranged the home screen how we want it to be laid out.
Made a backup of that Supervised iPad.
Supervised the rest of the iPads and restored the backup we made of the one with the home screen arranged how we want it.
Randomly some Apps that were placed in a folder appear not on the home screen I placed it on but on a screen one swipe to the right, another folder appears on a home screen another swipe to the right!
The "Video" folder should be in the empty space in the bottom right of the first home screen.
Previously, before we had the maximum number of icons on the home screen whenever I retored a backup to the devices they would be in the correct places, but not any more.
Any ideas?

Try this - 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 is equivalent to rebooting your computer.) No data/files will be erased. http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1430

Screen not displaying properly

I replaced my screen back in February, and just recently I experienced the dreaded white screen of death. I took my iPod back apart, and made sure all of the connections were good, and now it is displaying as seen in the picture. Anyone have any idea if this is a problem with my screen, or some sort of softwareproblem? Any revelent information is appreciated!

Thanks! I just examined my screen with my iPod off, and can see a bunch of vertical lines. I'm taking that to mean it must be something with the specific screen, and just ordered a new one.

My iTunes home screen displays a lot of small boxes with the letter A in it instead of text

my iTunes home screen displays a lot of small boxes with the letter A in it instead of text

Periodically double click the home button and close all the apps in the recently used dock. Then power off and then back on the iPod. This frees up memory. The 4G only has 256 MB of memory.
Also, sometimes restoring the iPod helps.

How do I add actual email accounts to home screen-not just HUB?

How do I add actual email accounts to home screen-not just HUB? Can anyone give me the steps?

Essentially the Hub area is a home screen dedicated to your communication. Tap on the lower left icon and each of your messaging sections has its own dedicated 'icon.' As JC mentioned, it is new and it may take a while to get used to it.. but once you do it really is a great way to deal with the unified messaging idea and it also allows you to break down what you are looking at very quickly. Just need to learn a few new tricks. I've been on the Z for just over 3 months now and I could never go back...

ITunes 10.6.3 home sharing not working properly

iTunes 10.6.3 home sharing not working properly. I can access with my three ATV2's watch a movie later that same day it tries to access and ATV2 just keeps trying and never gets through to the library. If I restart iTunes its fine then later can't access. I am running iTunes 10.6.3 on a i7 Mac Mini with 10.7.4. Sole job is to be iTunes server and an occasional HTPC with remote buddy running. I disabled remote buddy ajax remote feature, and file sharing is on so I can load new tracks form other macs Thats it, a vanilla install with all updates.. No problem prior but not sure if problem free period was with 10.6 earler versions or 10.5 versions. I update as warnings to do so come up. The remote app has same problem accessing the Home Share. I disabled home sharing on my iPhone and set to access the old method with 4 digit code and sees all the time and will play to my express base stations so seems to be home sharing issue because iPhone apps with home sharing on and ATV2s have issue accessing.
I'm never home but when I am I use this equipment loads and this weekend not reliable at all. I have firewall disabled, and setup is as before and is working fine. I am using Mini by ethernet and using AEBS 1st generation gigabit as router only wired to cable modem and whole house ethernet attached, latest version AEBS gigabit as a wireless bridge and 2 prior version 11n expresses and a 11g express, all expresses are set to wireless off and are connected to ethernet and then to a stereo in 3 different rooms.
I can't be only one. Considering downgrading to last version of 10.5 but not sure how to do this.
How many of you are having trouble?
Any resolutions?
How to report to Apple?
How to downgrade safely? Or is it 10.7.4?

I ran into the specific problem in another thread. There are more than 100 connections from the apple TV's to iTunes. You can do a netstat -a (windows or Mac), and verify the problem. iTunes is smart enough to stop allowing more than 100 connections but stupid to allow the ATV to create so many connections.
Now for what you really want! Set all of your ATVs to wifi only. Even setting the iTunes host to wifi might help also. I think that wifi is more unreliable, and forces connections to drop, keeping the count under 100.
I also turned off ip v6. That could help you also. I originally had problems on a Mac mini, and built a windows 7 box to try to fix the problem. The wifi trick worked on both platforms. Several of us have bug reports into apple. I have a wired house also, and am very angry to NEED to use slow wifi to overcome this problem. The ATV gen 3 has been able to keep up with 1080p over wifi, so it doesn't hurt too much. What really hurts is spending over 40 hours troubleshooting this bug.

Why do pages like natwest and ELC not display properly? It is like their text is too large, yet other pages are fine?

I have abrand new ASUS notebook with a 11 and a half inch screen. I have up to date Windows system, and am using the latest version of firefox. I have gone through all the tips in the help section of firefox including clearing cache and cookies, and also checking all settings for text, however none of this has corrected the problem. For example when i log into my online banking the text is that big it doesnt fit into the boxes set on natwest screen, so therefore i can view all of the text and it gets jumbled together in some places. With ELC a good example is the menu across the top of the page which gives all of the categories of products they sell for you to click on. As the writing is too large it does not display properly. Im not sure what else to do to crrect this. Can anyone help?

Try 2 things, if they can help:
1. on the same window, where you have 1 of above site opened. Do ctrl + F5.
2. Do Ctrl + shift + P, it will open a new private window and browse any of the above site.
