Hello there,
If you open itumes.  Go into the menu with the  
vo and m key.  
arrow to the right one time.
down arrow 3 times.  it should say preferences.
Open that and it will be in the general tab.  
You will be at the first check box which is for movies.  Uncheck to have that 
not show up in i tunes.  
Tab down through the rest of the list and uncheck what ever you do not want to 
see in iTunes.  you can always turn it all back on as you get used to iTunes. 



One thing which was very helpful for me when I first started using iTunes was 
to turn off
show side bar.  
To do this you go to the  pull down menus.  
Open the menu and arrow to the right 4 times.  
It should say view.
arrow down 8 times and it should say show sidebar.  If it says hide side bar 
then the side bar is visible in the window.  
Use the vo and space bar to turn it off.  

The one thing you might want to use down the road is the iTunes U.  That is 
very informative and i have learned  how to do things or what things were for 
in the program.  

I am happy to be able to share what others have taught me as I have grown into 
my mac.  
If you wish to write me off list feel free to do so.  My address is:

That goes for any one else on this list as well.
have a great rest of your week end.
