How to get rid of "Ping" pop-up in iTunes in playlist area?
Hi
I'm having a trouble in iTunes and it's bothering me a lot. When I scroll down in iTunes to get to my favorite song, the playlist area gets covered by a "Ping" pop-up and due to this I can't see anything until I click on it to get rid of it and then see where I am. It's ruining the whole iTunes experience.
Here is a screen shot of what I'm talking about.

Thanks

Don't believe I've seen that but one time, a long time ago - try clicking the Hide sidebar underneath the Learn More button.

This is a bit of a mystery - I've never seen this before. Try the following to disable the Ping sidebar:
1. Open up Terminal (/Applications/Utilities).
2. Copy and paste the following:Code:defaults write com.apple.iTunes disablePingSidebar -bool TRUE
To be honest, I'm not sure that will work but that solution seems to be floating around the internet. It doesn't disable it here but I also don't have the problem.Important Links: Community Guidelines : Use the reputation system if you've been helped.

try codda's suggestion
Highlight iTunes Store - head for Account at the right side of the Window - it'll ask for your password - turn Ping off.I cannot be held responsible for the things that come out of my mouth.

It's funny - I have Ping disabled in the prefs but I can still easily access the Ping sidebar.

I did too this morning and had that Ping access on the right sidebar - the disabling noted above removed it from that sidebar. Don't think there is a way to remove it (at least not from the GUI) from the left side bar.
