Can't read text in iTunes store since downloading latest version
Since I downloaded the latest version of iTunes, I now have a black background in the iTunes Store window and can't see any of the text - names of albums/tracks etc. The album artwork is fine, but the text is either completely invisible or vaguely appears in a very small, faint, white font when I move the mouse pointer over it. This is only on my ancient PC (XP); my new laptop (with Vista) has no problems with it at all.
Any suggestions gratefully received!
I can't give you a definite solution, but the problem seems to relate to the Helvetica font. Removing this font has fixed the problem for some people, but you may not want to do that.
I saw one report that removing and then reinstalling the Helvetica font worked.
I had the same problem. I deleted helvetica (I have a backup on a disk) and all the text seems readable now. I am sure there is a better or perhaps more technical way to solve this problem but this worked for me.
OK found the issue solution which worked for me. Thanks to Micky on another forum.
"I checked my graphic settings and found that my system use colour profile provided by monitor's manufacturer. Then I added sRGB profile and set it as default and after that iTunes background in iTunes store was white as it should and all options and text are visible now.
For Windows: exact procedure may be different on various OS and monitors, but the steps will be similar. Open - My Computer > control panel > display > settings > advanced > color management. Click Add > select sRGB Color Space Profile.icm > Add Select sRGB Color Space Profile > Set as Default Click Apply > OK > OK Your monitor should now display the sRGB color space.
Had to restart and for good measure I physically turned off the monitor (which I probably haven't done in who knows how long)counted to ten and then turned it back on."
I already had this profile installed, but you did send me to the right place. I had the .icm for my old monitor installed. Once I removed it, iTunes works! Thank you!
