Can't see scrubber bar in iTunes 11.1.2 Mavericks

I just updated to Mavericks and iTunes 11.1.2 on my Mac and now whenever I play a song the scrubber bar stays on the Apple logo instead of showing the currently playing song. Any ideas on how to fix this?

iTunes-OTHER, OS X Mavericks (10.9)

same problem here.


i have a clean install mavericks on a mid 2011 macbook air. updated to itunes 11.1.2 right after maverick completed installation. restored all my itunes media (music, apps) and tried playing. see only them apple.


someone mentioned rebooting to solve the problem. tried that. the scrubber return the first time i played a song. but as soon as i stopped the playback and restarted. it never came back.


oh well. waiting for 11.1.3. no big deal. but pretty annoying since i depend a lot on the scrubber to notify / remind me of what itunes is doing.

I have the same problem - all of the information where the timeline usually is disappears after a while. It looks like this:

I tried reinstalling iTunes, but it eventually went blank again.


To get it back, just close the main iTunes window (cmd + w) and then re-open it (opt + cmd + 1). This doesn't interrupt your music.


Annoying indeed,
