I'm embarrassed to post this, but it has frustrated me to the point that I can't deal with it anymore.

I have an iTunes window that somehow expanded to a larger size than my screen and I cannot figure out how to get it back to normal size. I have lost all the buttons on the bottom (shuffle, loop, etc.)

I have tried with great precision to put my mouse in the bottom corner of the screen to drag the window back up in to view. For some reason I can't quite reach the bottom corner of the screen. I'm sure it is something simple, but it alludes me. please help!

Here is a screen shot to get an idea. It's a 15" MacBook Pro.

And no wise cracks about some of the music, I have a wife...:sombrero:

Click on the yellow colored circle it will minimize, Red will close the screen. Top Left.

Thanks, I tried every combo I can think of, when I re-open the window it is still the same size.

The best thing I ever did was get rid of iTunes and use a program called Media Monkey. It treats your ipod like a hard drive so you can even share tunes from your ipod to different computers (assuming your friends have media monkey). No more i tunes BS or long "synchonizing" where it repopulates the entire hard drive. The only thing you lose is the itunes store but you don't necessarily have to uninstall it either. Hope it helps...

Thanks Andre, I'll look into it!

I'm still having trouble with the window, any other ideas?

If you're still having trouble, I just tried this and it worked:

System Preferences, Displays, choose the next resolution size down, choose your original resolution.

The computer will resize the windows to fit the smaller resolution, but won't expand it back to fill the space available with the higher resolution.
