So yesterday I start up iTunes to see this shit

its all black, ive tried installing, reinstalling, made sure it was the new one, ive tried repairing, restarting, minimizing and maximizing and then ive tried setting it to compatibly for XP SP2, which made the entire screen bright green (wat? I know) and i had to close iTunes to see my desktop

The buttons work the same, but every thing is black, i can click songs and get them and play them, but when I scroll down they overlap in text...

So basically iTunes is fine but the interface is FUCKED

any ideas on fixing this?

(I know, iTunes does fail, at least on Windows, very hard, but I have an iPhone and love it a lot more than my Razer or w.e and i NEED iTunes for my iPhone)

Why am i the only one whose only problem with Itunes is when my external music HD for no reason switches directories, and i have to re-designate everything? In other words something that happens with every other music software.

o wat you mean this one that I JUST took?

Ive solved it with a barrage of "solutions"

after digging through google search results I found that someone thought it was a graphics/display oriented problem

I hooked up my other monitor, fucked with cloning an finally switched to dual view and then changed the resolutions and then set them correctly and OMFG it works...

Maybe it's just iTunes and Vista?

Put in other words

Maybe its just Apple not giving much of a shit about fixing all of iTunes problems on Windows

I'm sure iTunes on a Mac is great, though...

I've that problem on Windows versions of iTunes. Definitely at interface thing - but quitting the application and restarting it worked perfectly for me. And GodFather, yes, iTunes on a mac is pretty much flawless..

But... But Apple products always work!

The idea of any hi-fi system is to reproduce the source material as faithfully as possible, and to deliberately add distortion to everything you hear (due to amplifier deficiencies) because it sounds 'nice' is simply not high fidelity. If that is what you want to hear then there is no problem with that, but by adding so much additional material (by way of harmonics and intermodulation) you have a tailored sound system, not a hi-fi. - Rod Elliot, ESP

I really get sick of Apples bullshit sometimes. iTunes has been broken on Vista for so long. It was only the last release or so that I didnt have to fucking close explorer.exe when I was installing it.

But then I use my iPhone and like them again

ROFL!

Last time I complained to Apple about a bug in 10.5 (Leopard) to do with Samba stuff I was told it was a known issue. I asked when a fix was coming. They said to wait for Snow Leopard (10.6). So their solution to the problem is to wait for a new OS to be released and then buy it.

Pricks.

Wait, so every time a new OS comes out (which seems rather regular with Apple, like annually), you have to pay to upgrade? Geeze. At least Microsoft releases fixes and stuff and OS updates DAILY ...

I was looking on their support site for about 30 minutes for an "Other" support contact form

only thing i could find was problems ONLY FOR ACCOUNTS on iTunes and Mac computer problems

I couldnt find ONE FUCKING THING REGARDING SOFTWARE SUPPORT, only a PUBLIC forum...

fucking dicks... At least with windows and shit you can contact them about basically anything, and thats pretty fucking easy to do, I dont have to go looking for it

Yup.

You get the upgrades within the same version free (so if you have 10.4 you can get upto 10.4.11, but not 10.5). The OS disks are also very expensive, £85 normally - which is way more than Windows.
