Can't resize iTunes window

The resize box for iTunes is below the bottom of the screen so the resize box is not accessible. How can I resize the window so I can use the buttons at the bottom of the window again?

Mac Pro, Mac OS X (10.5.6)

For WINDOWS users there's NO green button! So forget that!


TO FIX right click on the window banner (top of itunes window) and select "Maximize."


NOTE: You might have to bring the window out of full screen before, which you can still do if the resize button still shows (between minimize and exit buttons--top right corner). Otherwise try "minimize" and then "maximize."


Who did QA on iTunes 11?????

Whoa. I just had the same problem. I went from a large monitor to my laptop, and iTunes' resize handle is too far down. Normally, I can zoom (i.e. maximize) the window via the green plus in the top left of the app, but that only switches to the small iTunes player. NOT helpful.

Here's a free/donationware tool that'll help:

Apple should be embarrassed that we have to install a 3rd party tool for this! This is GUI 101, here. At least Windows lets you resize from various corners, or use the Alt-F4 option and then use cursor keys. If my PC friends new about this, they'd never let me live it down. I'm a little ashamed right now...
