About the new iTunes Update

One of the biggest things that people are talking about other than the huge amounts of change that Microsoft has done with Windows 8 from Windows 7, is iTunes made by Apple.

With the new iTunes 11 update (or later), the interface has seemly changed (heh, typical software writers at work eh?) and some of the essential things that were in iTunes 10 or earlier that you may have used like i did are now seemly gone by default. Well there is some good news, and some bad news; the bad news is, some of these functions ARE gone (like itunes DJ). The good news is, some features are not gone, but rather hidden by default. These hidden features would be the Menu Bar, Status Bar, and the Sidebar. So lets take a few mins to go ahead and (re)show these features so itunes will at least look similar to what you were previously use to.

THIS ONLY APPLIES TO ITUNES 11 OR GREATER.

1. Open iTunes 11(+)
2. click the half-dark half-light box at the top left of the itunes window to drop the main menu down.
3. go down the menu until you find "show menu bar". click that. The menu bar will now show.
4. on the Menu bar, drop down the View tab
5. Scroll down the view tab until you find two items, you will need to repeat steps 4-5 until you have clicked both of these items. These items are "Show Sidebar" and "Show Status Bar"
6. After you have clicked the two items in step 5, Viola, you are now done

So there you have it, this will help you with iTunes 11 (or better).

Have fun.
