Howdy Mr. Silly,

If I understand correctly, the iTunes window is full screen and this is making it difficult for you to access Preferences and add music to the library. If you haven't already, try clicking the arrows in the top right corner of the window as shown in the article below.

Switch to full screen

In many apps, including Calendar, Mail, and Safari, you can expand the window to fill your entire screen.

To expand to full screen, click the arrows in the top-right corner of an app window:

To move from one window to another in full-screen view, swipe left and right, or press the arrow keys on your keyboard.

To return to standard view, click the arrows in the window’s top-right corner:

Ciao.

Thank you, Jason. iTunes no longer launches in full-screen mode.

Now maybe you can tell me why iTunes is so incredibly slow.

I can download a whole album to my computer in the time it takes for iTunes to ingest one song. Filling in meta-data and artwork take even more arduously SLOW processing.

My only explanation is Apple no longer wants iTunes to be a database/music player but with 100,000's of songs I am pretty heavily invested in this format.

What's to be done?

Thanks
