10.5.1 iTunes screen saver gone missing

I updated to 10.5.1 yesterday. Today before a presentation I turned off my screen saver (and sleep display). After the presentation I went to turn my screen saver back on and the iTunes album art choice seems to be missing!
The screen saver was working after the upgrade until this morning when I turned it off. All I want to do is find it to turn it back on.
Help? Suggestions?

Thanks. I looked and the screen saver was there (along with other savers not listed. I am not sure what combination of things I tried next worked, but most likely it was simple doing a full shutdown, going to dinner and then restarting my computer which brought back all of the savers.
Not sure why they disappeared, but I am happy to have them back.

Welcome to the  Discussion Forums
Why are you looking in a shared library, is itunes set up as a secondary library.
See This
If you are set up as a primary library you need to look in my tv shows.
When you say you have reinstalled everything, does that include itunes (if so how did you do that), does it include rebuilding your itunes library.

Album artwork screen saver gone

I have done some research, but am confused. The album artwork is no longer showing up (black screen) as my screen saver. I am now using a new iMac Mountain Lion. BUT, I did do a full install from my old iMac so whatever the issue is in iTunes is still there.
Thanks

I have exactly the same.
Screensaver settings says: "Your iTunes library does not contain any songs with artwork" which is simply lie! ;-)
almost all artwork is there
newest iTunes 10.5.3 (3) 64-bit
Lion with all add-ons
not long ago I have joined iTunes Match.. unfortunately haven't checked if it works before for long time..
I have: repaired permissions, removed com.apple.screensaver. iTunesArtwork* in ~Library/Preferences/ByHost/.
Still nothing.
I have found that ~/Music/iTunes/Album Artwork/ has 4 directories inside:
Cache
Cloud
Download
Local
.. 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..
Any ideas please?

ITunes Library file gone missing

Hi there,
This is my first post
Anyway on more upsetting words, my iTunes library has gone walkies!
I have an iPhone 5 and an iPod Classic 160gb.
So that means i have 2 different libraries.
So ive had to change which library iTunes brings up whenever i use one or the other.
However today i went as normal to change from my iPhone library to my iPod and the library file seems to have dissapeared!
And im really stressing out . Look at the pictures and tell me if theres anything unusual.
Please help me!!!

Empty/corrupt library after upgrade/crash
Hopefully it's not been too long since you last upgraded iTunes, in fact if you get an empty/incomplete library immediately after upgrading then with the following steps you shouldn't lose a thing or need to do any further housekeeping. Note that in iTunes 11 an "empty" library may show your past purchases with links to stream or download them.
In the Previous iTunes Libraries folder should be a number of dated iTunes Library files. Take the most recent of these and copy it into the iTunes folder. Rename iTunes Library.itl as iTunes Library (Corrupt).itl and then rename the restored file as iTunes Library.itl. Start iTunes. Should all be good, bar any recent additions to or deletions from your library.
Alternatively, depending on exactly when and why the library went missing, there may be a more recent .tmp file in the main iTunes folder that can be copied & renamed as iTunes Library.itl to restore the library to an earlier state. Look for a recent .tmp file that is similar in size to the .itl files in the Previous iTunes Libraries folder. If it has happened repeatedly you may want the earliest such file generated since the last iTunes upgrade.
If applicable, see iTunes Folder Watch for a tool to catch up with any changes since the backup file was created.
When you get it all working make a backup!
Should you be in the unfortunate position where you are no longer able to access your original library, or a backup of it, then see Recover your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device.
I've noticed more of these missing library posts of late and a common factor to most since I started asking is AVG Anti-Virus. It seems in some cases it might be at least part of the reason why the library file disappears. Try excluding the iTunes folder from any AV scanning process.

Where is my Aperture Screen Saver gone?

Hi there!
I am facing the following bizarre problem:
I had configured the screen saver on my MacBook Pro 15" to use pics from my aperture library.
Now this function has somhow disapeared! Suddenly I can only choose iPhoto not Aperture anymore
What happened and how can I bring Aperture back to my screen saver choices?
Thanks in advance
Thorge

There is a setting in Aperture Preferences/Previews called 'Share previews with iLife and iWork' if this is not checked then you won't see them in the screen saver either.

Desktop/Screen Saver panel missing in System Preferences

Hello,
I recently had to have my hard drive changed and I reloaded OSX 10.6.8 back on it along with the applications DVD. Now when I go to the system preferences, the DESKTOP/SCREEN SAVER panel is no longer listed. I am very new to my Imac and tried to reinstall the applications disk. Does anyone have any suggestions on how to fix this problem so I can change the desktop pictures? Thanks

Open System Preferences and go to View menu (on the menu bar). You should see Desktop & Screen Saver listed.
If you see it, go to View menu > Customize, and mark "Desktop & Screen Saver".
If you do not see it, insert the Snow Leopard DVD, hold the C key while your computer is starting up and reinstall Mac OS X

Itunes movie content gone missing....why?

I have purchased movies from the itunes store but when I try and access them I get this message.
"The movie “XXX” could not be used because the original file could not be found. Would you like to locate it?"
Can't locate the content. What is happening?
thx

I've been having a similar problem. Some files that I've had in iTunes for a long time just wont play. When you double-click on them nothing appears to be happening. I followed the instructions on the website to check if it was in compatibility mode, but it was already unchecked. I dont know whats going on, please help.

Screen saver stopped recognizing itunes artwork

running 10.8.1. my screen saver stopped recognizing itunes artwork. had it runnung for years. tried reassigning art work in system preferences to no avail. also, can't find the preference file "com.apple.itunes...plist". what shall i do?

I have just purchased a new Imac running 10.8 mountain lion, after loading new songs into itunes I too had no screen saver working showing the art work.
This had nothing to do with voice memos, no other items were connected so have tried this method and it works twice on both computers, the other is running leopard.
If all your music is on the main hard drive, check in finder and your itunes folders should be in music, all I did was make a new folder and call it music 2, make sure its under music on the left hand side, drag the itunes music folder containing only the music into this. From this go to itunes in applications delete itunes into trash, restart computer then download the latest version. When all opened up you should get a home page showing get music from icloud or scan for media, press scan and let the new version find it on your computer, when finished go to screen saver settings and notice the itunes screen saver working.
I don't know why this works either its a software fault with apple or just my luck, but I have had no problems since and looks greats on the screen.

Screen Saver Problem/bug?

I'm really enjoying leopard. I've only found two minor problems/issues. One is Ichat backgrounds, but I why its not doing what it should and why. The problem I'm trying to Figure out is the screen saver. Specifically the Itunes screen saver. They will load/display up individually fine (loading into the screen saver and in Itunes), but when the screen save tiles them they all appear with a red hue. (Tiger worked fine). Has anyone else had this problem? can it be fixed adjusted (easily)

I've got the same problem on my iMac 20" (Intel 2.0 GHz Core Duo), BUT, the problem occurs on my +*second monitor*+ (over DVI) all the time, but only on some pictures on my main (built in) monitor.
I've tried to create a new Color Profile for the second monitor, but this did not solve the problem.
The problem is also only visible when the screensaver is fully loaded (during the 'loading' of pictures, the color is okay).
I've created a screenshots to my main and external monitor here:

Main monitor (all okay, except for 1 image):

Screen Saver on Apple TV

I have an IMac 2012 OS X 10.9.5 and a 3rd gen Apple TV with the latest firmware. I have an ITunes library of over 20,000 entires. I collect album art
from the web as the majority of my music is captured from vinyl.
I use the ITune Match screen saver for the TV (and the IMac) but the Apple TV doesn't seem to recognize all of the album art I've collected
in my ITunes for the TV. It seems to use the same ones and even shows the same ones at the same time. I will often see as many as 4 of the same albums
appearing at a time on the display. I have it set to use the ITune Match results. I've tried using the al
What is the difference between the ITunes screen saver on my IMac vs the Apple TV.
Is there some way that I can get it to recognize all of the album art that my IMac does?

No problem.
It's hard to know what the actual process is in regards to how it chooses what to cache.
If you do find you want to provide feedback to Apple then I would suggest using the form to do so.

ITunes 7.1 affecting fan speed in album art screen saver?

After installing the update I immediately started noticing my fan gradually increasing speed until it is extremely fast/loud, whenever the album art screen saver comes on. I've since changed my saver to a photo album saver since I can't take the noise. (And I'm fearful of the box taking flight.) Has anyone else experienced this? (Quad 2.5 G5 PowerMac)
Quad 2.5 G5 PowerMac Mac OS X (10.4.8)

Same problem that I am having. I enjoyed the album art screen saver. Since I updated to v7 the screen saver doesnt seem to work correctly. Spent the first day of release getting most of my albums (shockingly more then I thought). Enabled the screen saver, but only got 4 albums to show up, no others. Testing it more, I removed the art for the albums that showed up, which got me to 1 album, removed and then got the error that my iTunes Library had no albums with artwork. Weird.. Removed my library, reloaded, and ALL the artwork is gone. Tried going a few albums at a time manually and it shows in iTunes, the new Album Art Dir updates with new stuff. but nothing for the screen saver. Good idea in principle, kinda bad in excuction is my thoughts right now. Hope for a fix soon.

I missed the  logo screen saver.

Was searching high and low for the  logo screen saver but I'm restricted to Albums, Photos and Slideshow. Did I miss out anything? I prefer the simple screen saver because I don't want to light up my dark room with the rest of the screen saver options.

I got a cool trick. In iTunes > Apple TV > Summary tab, I chose *Custom Sync* and check the *Show only the synced items on my Apple TV*
Now when my Apple TV goes into screen saver mode, I get a black screen! Brilliant! Luv it.
By the way, I do not sync Music and Photos to my Apple TV. Music video image art doesn't show up in screen saver. My Apple TV is mainly for TV Shows and Movies.

My computer's Itunes photos not listed in screen saver.

It was working until I switched folders but since then its not. I have turned on Home Sharing on both my Apple TV and in iTunes on my computer and selected a valid folder with photos in it. Both PC and AppleTV are wired to my network router and I tested my connections and they are working. The computer is on with iTunes running. Still under Photos in screen saver it list only National Geographic, Flowers, Flixr, iCloud. no "Computer". Am I missing something?

Yes all that has been done.
In fact I had it set up and working in the past but soon as I tried to change which folders are shared none show up. I shared the photos, rebooted apple tv and the router... Nothing.

Screen saver overrides iTunes cover flow in Lion

On my new iMac (OSX 10.7.1, iTunes 10.4.1), when in full screen cover flow mode, the screen saver overrides this, which is annoying as I like to leave it playing with the artwork displayed. This did not happen on my old (Leopard) Mac. I can't find any preference setting that seems to fix this. I dont really want to turn off the screen saver - I didn't have to before, why now?

Have you tried creating a hot corner (System Preferences > Desktop & Screen Saver > Screen Saver - Hot Corners) to disable the screen saver by parking mouse pointer in the "hot corner."
I'm assuming Lion still has this function.

You can access iCloud.com on a computer to turn it off.
