Hello bethany37,

Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.


From your post I understand you are unable to see which song is playing in iTunes. Just to be clear, are you missing the entire play window as shown below?

If your window doesn't look like that, then you might be using the iTunes MiniPlayer.


The MiniPlayer takes up very little space on your screen, and still lets you adjust the volume, search for songs, choose which songs play next, and more.

The MiniPlayer displays the album artwork for the song that’s playing. When you move the pointer over the artwork, controls and song information appear.

You can also shrink the MiniPlayer to an even smaller size.

Open the MiniPlayer: Choose Window > Switch to MiniPlayer.

View and edit a list of upcoming songs: Click the Up Next button User uploaded file.

Keep the MiniPlayer in the foreground on your desktop: Choose iTunes > Preferences, click Advanced, and select “Keep MiniPlayer on top of all other windows.”

Shrink to the smaller MiniPlayer: Click User uploaded file near the top-left corner. To expand back to the full MiniPlayer, click User uploaded file again.

Customize the iTunes window - iTunes Help


Take care.
