iTunes 8.1 window too big - can't see bottom to resize.

Just downloaded iTunes 8.1. On launch the window is too big. The row of buttons at the bottom of the window are off the bottom of the screen - as is the corner you grab to resize (whatever that's called). How do I resize the window?

MacBook Pro 15", Mac OS X (10.5.6)

Press the green button at the top of the window, or open the Script Editor in the /Applications/AppleScript/ folder and run:

tell application "iTunes"
set bounds of window 1 to {296, 97, 1394, 996}
end tell

This has been fixed!! Hover the cursor around the top of the iTunes window above the menu bar.. (Or any window now for that matter) and the cursor turns to a duble arrow.. now drag this arrow down and it resizes the window form the top-down. you have now resized the window. now just move it as you normally would and you get your (buttons exposed as in iTunes) or just a shorter window.. I think this was addressed even pre-lion.

just works?!

itune software writers can't do their job so that the itunes windows knows what size screen you're on and adjust accordingly?!!! ***?

anyone else think this is absurd that we are having to run scripts to get the software to run as it USED to run... whether it is itunes, photoshop, or imovie apple software is slipping badly.


just not the same class it used to be and very bummed about it. steve jobs i imagine would be too...

PLEASE HELP... having the same problem on a new Macbook Air with iTunes 10. Ran a couple of the scripts and the last


tell application "iTunes"

set margins to {d1 + 10, d2 + 54, d3 - 10, d4 - 148}

set bounds of window 1 to margins

end tell

said parameters not set for d1


It would really help if there were clearer instructions on how to run a script as I never have before and its not so simple to so as you write it. When to record when to stop when to run and importantly how to reverse or delete the last one if it didnt fix it!!


As it stands I cant scroll to the bottom to select the playlists to sync and in some windows cant see the buttons at all. If I expans the screen view it changes the dimensions of the itunes up to lengthen it but not enough ever to see the whole window.


Sooo annoying lease advise if you can think of something else I should try?
