Apple TV: Music Visualizer (Like iTunes) or Alternative Screen Saver?

Hello, I am wondering if there is any way to get a "Visualizer" for my Apple TV, like iTunes has that is basically a screen saver that wavers with the pitch and beat of the music. Similar to those on Windows Media Player, xBox 360, PS3, etc... Or is there at least a way to get/buy an alternative "Screen Saver" besides the floating pictures?
If not, that is a serious design flaw that someone should have thought about before release. I mean, come on, a unit that is designed to be hooked up to your TV and play music? You need to have something visual and floating pictures are not only boring but borderline annoying. I have to believe it is an easy fix with a software update; I mean, everyone else has managed to incorporate one into their products as I mentioned above and **** iTunes even has its own Visualizer, and in my humble opinion, rivals only windows media player in top quality. There has to be a way to at least stream it like AirTunes streams the music iTunes is playing to the Apple TV that plays it out the speakers it is hooked up to; with G protocol you could easily add a video stream that would stream the iTunes visualizer to the Apple TV and display it on the TV.
Anyway, just thoughts, if anyone cares, not really upset with the product, in fact, I love it so much I'm thinking of proposing to it soon (it has no idea). I just REALLY wish I could throw up a sick Visualizer on my Samsung 60" 240hz LED TV to go along with my music...SOS! Help!
Thank you.

no - the "visualiser" is not an option on the appletv.
you only have the screensaver options.

  • I would like to make a screen saver in java.

    I would like to make a screen saver in java. But i do not find in the appropriate documentation classes.
    Can you help me.
    My screen saver may ask a password when the user want to exit it.

    https://jdic.dev.java.net/documentation/incubator/screensaver/
    "The SaverBeans Screensaver SDK (Early Access) is a Java screensaver development kit, enabling developers to create cross-platform screensavers. The developer writes a set of Java classes along with an XML description of the screensaver settings, and uses the tools in this development kit to produce a screensaver for any Java-supported OS. The resulting screensavers behave just like a native screensaver (i.e. with preview capabilities and control over settings)."
    This was found as the first result of a simple google search. You should try it sometime.

  • Acts like it has a screen saver on it

    Hi folks.  We have an iPod touch - not latest generation.  We can't see the screen.  It behaves as if there is a screen saver on it - varying shades of purple vertical lines that fade in and out.  I have restored the software twice but to no avail.  If I slide my finger across the bottom, it sounds like it is waking up, but I still can't see any icons.  It has not been dropped or gotten wet.  iTunes behaves as if everything is functioning normally. 
    Any suggestions?  I am attaching a photo.  Any ideas are much appreciated.
    Thanks!

    Try the standard fixes:
    - Reset:
    Reset iPod touch:  Press and hold the On/Off Sleep/Wake button and the Home
    button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Restore the iPod from backup via iTunes
    - Restore the iPod to factory defaults/new iPod
    If still a problem you likely have a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

  • ITunes album art screen saver problem

    Hi, recently when I use my iTunes album art work as a screen saver the albums have a purple tint to them. It hasn't always been like that so if anyone could help it would be greatly appreciated.

    Just thought I'd let you know that you're not alone. I've tried everything i could think of to fix this problem. The only thing that worked was re-installing the os
    and not messing with the settings. But that's not really an option. I only found that out because i got a little delete happy while screwing with my mac.

    Hello howwow,
    In iTunes, select the song. Get info (command+I), click on the Artwork Tab at the top. You can drag the image from there to the desktop. Double click it to open it in the Finder, copy the image- just press command+c.
    Open Preview, type command+n, this will create a New From Clipboard image of your artwork. Save it as a Jpeg or Pict. Repeat with each song you want and create the folder for your screen saver.

  • ITunes album artwork screen saver possible with external library?

    I just moved my iTunes library to an external drive to free up space on my MacBook, and I was wondering if there's a way to still use the album artwork screen saver when the external drive is not connected? I still have my artwork folder on my internal drive but when it is not connected, it says, "Your iTunes Library does not contain any songs with artwork." Is there a place where the screen saver info is saved? or does it only work with the library itself?

    hi,
    it will only work when your library could be available.
    beside, if I may suggest, it is more reliable to place your library files on your external drive along with your songs than keeping the library files on the internal drive. that way, you will avoid the issue to mistakenly open your library while your external drive isn't mounted.

  • RSS Visualizer for Desktop instead of Screen Saver

    Is there any hack to get the RSS Visualizer Screen saver to work as ones desktop?
    Thanks.

    Applescript:
    tell application "System Events" to
    "ScreenSaverEngine" is in name of processes
    if the result is true then
    tell application "ScreenSaverEngine" to quit
    else
    tell application "Terminal"
    if not (exists window 1) then do script ""
    do script

    Engine -background &" in front window
    end tell
    end if
    Can i do any harm with this operation. I've never used Applescript, though I do know how to bring up the editor and at least try what you suggest.
    I just don't want to screw things up. Will this script give me the choice list in "Desktop" as in "Screensaver" utility?

  • ITunes crashes when screen saver comes on

    Hello. When my screensaver comes on, iTunes stops playing. When I wake my computer from the screensaver, there is a window on my computer saying that iTunes has encountered a problem and needs to close. I'm forced to shut iTunes down.
    Anyone encountered this, and have a solution??
    Please help! Thanks!
    My specs:
    Windows Vista RC2
    iTunes 7.0.2.16

    If I read it right, the advice there is to turn off the screen saver and turn it back on all the time. Not terribly helpful.
    I am having this same problem, it started when I downloaded/upgraded iTunes 7.0.2.16, before that it was no problem.
    I have also had intermittent problems with iTunes playing one some in a playliest twice (repeat is not clicked, it will play a couple of sonds then repeat one then play a few more then repeat one) and once it played the same sone twice at the same time, about 10 seconds out of sync, which was very odd.
    Is this a bug in the new version, or does anybody know a fix? Help is appreciated!

  • How can I remove theAirPlay instructions that take up my tv screen while my music is playing and running my screen saver?

    Apple support community,
                  Yo Jim Taylor here. Would like to remove the Airplay screen instructions while Airplay plays music and my screen savers running?

    Actually, i figured part of it out. When I'm playing itunes to my Apple Tv and Airport Express stations around the house, then turn on the mirroring, the itunes volume bar goes all the way to zero. I can bring it back up manually, and it will play on Apple TV, but it won't broadcast to multiple Airport Express speakers, the way it was doing before I turned on mirroring. It seems that mirroring turns off the airport express stations.

  • Is "connect to itunes" my new screen saver or something?

    My IPhone 5c was on the charger when I looked at my setting to check out my new update notification. I guess the update has me feeling like an old lady who doesn't understand too much about phones because the only thing I see is one of the three things my screen is displaying; 1. "connect to iTunes" 2. The "apple" and the best one would have to be 3. that black mirror thing that you always lock your phone to check yourself out with. So after trying to restart my phone by pressing both the lock and home button, it turned off, showed me that apple, and then the "connect to iTunes". Take two was pressing just the lock button; nothing. Third lucks charm was pretty disappointing after I finally dug out the old Acer and plugged my stubborn phone into iTunes to see that I had to restore my phone to factory settings because I have unsaved pictures of my cousin who recently died from leukemia. I finally figured that it was my best shot so I pressed the restore iPhone box and after 5 long hours and 5 arduous tries to just get my phone to turn on out of desperation, it still just wants to be plugged into iTunes. Even when it's plugged in! I'm only 15, and I truly feel as if I'm trying to get a baby to stop crying. Yes, it does help trying to make silly faces at it but that's only because I'm seeing myself and I do really need my phone. No, not only because I go on twitter to see the latest complaints but I have a job at a horse farm, and I can be needed at any moment. Soccer also starts tonight, and I everybody probably thinks I'm ignoring them or something. Please help me get this phone to work again!

    Plave the iPod in Recovery mode and then connect to your computer and restore via iTunes.

  • ITunes Artwork as screen saver

    Crashes.

    Hi Kevin,
    I believe that it has to be hacked in terminal
    i do not know how to do this. Your system might be using too much processing power, thus the crash.
    good luck with it.

    maybe look around in the Unix area of Discussions.

  • ITunes 10 Album Artwork Not Showing Up In Screen Saver

    After installing iTunes 10, my screen saver settings (which used to pull from my iTunes Album Artwork) are no longer working. The screen saver option now says "Your iTunes Library does not contain any songs with artwork" yet it does. The screen saver option is no longer finding it. Any thoughts would be helpful. Thank you.

    I have exactly the same.

    .. first 3 had random named dir (the same) with what seems to be artworks directories. Local was empty still copying there this random dir didn't help too..

  • Album Artwork Screen saver and iTunes Match

  • My Ipad (4?) screen went black but I can hear it. I tried hitting both the sstart button and sleep button for 10 seconds and the apple icon comes up, my screen saver shows for 1 second and it returns to black screen again. I can hear SIRI. How do I fix?

    I had been using the IPAD and all of a sudden it started talking back to me and when swiping apps to close them they would not close. She (the IPAD) kept talking back to me such as "use three fingers" etc. Then the screen went blank and if I touched it I could get it to beep at various touch points. SIRI would also communicate, but the screen stayed black.
    As was suggested here, I tried getting a reboot by holding the sleep key with the home key and after 10 seconds the apple logo shows and 5 seconds later my screen saver comes on for just one second, and then it goes back to a black screen. SIRI tells me shes not available and someone else, must be her sister, says things like 90%, 85%, 80% if I continually swipe the screen. Can anyone help me?

    Hello, Juniorjr2. 
    Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities.
    This sounds like screen curtain may be enabled.  Screen curtain is a feature that allows display privacy.  To disable screen curtain while VoiceOver is enabled, you can three finger triple tap the screen to disable this feature.  You may need to press the home button once in order to process these steps.  If you wish to disable VoiceOver, see the link in the article below.
