Why is my iTunes screen white on black?

With the latest iTunes upgrade, the iTunes screen is viesing as white on black in most - but not all screens.


I've tried accessibility conrols but they weren't the problem. I've uninstalled and reinstalled the app and the smae thing is happening. Here's a screen shot so you can see what I mean.


Any suggestions beofre I make a Genius Bar appointment?

I'm having the exact same problem. Your screen-shot above is exactly what mine looks like. It's driving me nuts. I'm sorry I don't have any solutions for you, but I'm in need of solutions myself. No amount of restarting or re-installing seems to solve the problem. And it was perfectly fine until I updated my software recently. I would be greatly interested if you hear of any solutions...

I had the same problem and this resolved it for me. Apparently the black on white mode is called a "high contrast" mode or something like that. I'm not sure how it can accidentally be enabled but apparently it's not unheard of. All I did to fix it was type...


defaults write com.apple.iTunes high-contrast-mode-enable -bool FALSE


...into the terminal, close and restart iTunes...problem resolved!


Hope this fixes the problem!
