Album Artwork Screensaver gone??

I just upgraded from a 1st Gen Apple TV to the new 2nd Gen Apple TV and it now appears that my favourite screensaver is gone.
Anyone know if it's possible to get the Album Artwork Screensaver back? I really like that when my Apple TV was idle or even when playing long playlists at get togethers, etc.
Thanks!
J.

SOLVED!
1. Using the AppleScript found at:
http://automatorworld.com/archives/export-itunes-artwork-2/
You can export all your iTunes artwork as image files to a folder of your choice
2. Import them into iPhoto and name the event Album Art or whatever you please
3. Open iTunes and navigate to [Advanced > Choose Photos To Share] and leave iTunes open, as Apple TV will need to sync photos with it
4. Select the Album Art (or whatever you named it) event with all your album art in it, and click Apply
5. On your Apple TV 2, navigate to [Settings > Screen Saver > Photos > [Your name]'s Library] and choose to use the photos from your Album Art event.
6. Apple TV will copy these photos across to itself so the screen saver will work even when the computer is off/asleep
7. You now have your album artwork screen saver back!!

ITunes Album Artwork Screensaver Only Showing 3 Album Covers

I'm trying to use the album artwork screensaver but when it comes on it only shows three repeating album covers, all of which from CDs I downloaded myself and not from the iTunes store. How do I get all my album artwork to show?
I tried FILE > LIBRARY > GET ALBUM ARTWORK and holding down option while clicking the itunes icon and selecting my iTunes library.

Mac OS X Mountain Lion

Hi,
so this work's for me. Just recreate all the iTunes stuff. I did it like this:
- Go to - Music / iTunes / iTunes Media and backup the Music and Mobile App folders
- Delete everyting in the folder iTunes
Then just open the iTunes and add all the music from the Music folder to the library back again. This will recreate all the library files and folders in the iTunes folder.
Then try the screen saver.
Hope it helps.

Album artwork screensaver screwed up my settings.

alright a while back i put my screensaver as itunes album artwork. this has caused me some problems. the first is that every time i open my screen saver settings it just closes so i get this error message and i click reopen and it reopens i click on screensaver and it closes again and another error message comes up. i click try again and the screensaver menu comes up the third time and it stays open so i can change the settings, the only thing is the setting never change when i try to change them. i try to change the screensaver and i test it and everything then i close the settings window and this message comes up asking me if i want to use the new settings or the old ones. i click the new settings button, but the setting don't change, so i can't get my screensaver off of itunes artwork. i don't know why this is happening or what i can do. i need help!
thanks

ITunes Album Artwork Screensaver Locked

I can't change to any other screensaver except the album artwork. Every time I try it closes the program or just doesn't change.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

A similar issue is often caused by a plist file which is corrupt or contains an invalid setting. To fix this issue, create a new folder on the desktop and then choose Go to Folder from the Finder's Go menu. Enter ~/Library/Preferences/ByHost/ as the folder's path and drag everything with a name containing com.apple.screensaver to the folder on the desktop. If the issue persists, return to the ByHost folder, press the Command and Up keys simultaneously, and then move the file named com.apple.desktop.plist to the folder you created earlier. If everything works properly with both files in the folder you created, it is safe to throw it away.

I downloaded some albums using my iphone, i then synced it with my PC. Now all the album artwork has gone from the songs i downloaded on my iphone, but not on the itunes on the pc. How can i get the artwork back on my iphone?

I downloaded some albums using my iphone (3GS), I then synced it with my PC. Now all the album artwork has disappeared off my iphone but not off itunes on the PC. How can I get the album artwork back onto my iphone?

I had the similar problem last night and found a solution (although it takes more than a few clicks). Highlight all the album tracks in itunes on the pc and right click "get info". Check the artwork box in this window. I found that the now playing art was showing up in the itunes window, but on songs that were missing artwork showed nothing in the get info box. When I replaced the artwork by using the artwork command, or manually adding it into the "get info" window. It was annoying but my iphone updated every album.

Album Artwork Viewer Gone from Music Library

Ok why won't itunes do this any more? I want the album artwork to show in my music library. cus the screen is so bare without it. how do we get the album artwork to show up in itunes 11?

I've got the same problem. Updated Podcast and synced b4 work. Woke up this morning and experienced the same symptoms. Playlist intact, but no music. Every music file is still there but when I try to play it an exclamtion point comes up next to the song and it states that it can't find the file. Someone please help.

Album Artwork is gone

Yes I know I have another topic exactly like this one, but I didn't really fully explain it. What going on, is the area where the artwork is pitch black and there's no scroll bar to browse through them or anything. To aid me is a screenshot: http://img16.imageshack.us/img16/9911/22531634.png

AGREED. APPLE FAILED TO PROPERLY TEST THIS RELEASE. I AM HAVING SAME PROBLEM WITH ARTWORK NOT DISPLAYING ON IPOD DEVICE. I AM GLAD THIS HAPPENED BECAUSE IT ONLY PROVES APPLE TO BE LIARS IN THOSE COMMERCIALS. APPLE IS NOT BETTER...JUST DIFFERENT.

After updating my iPhone 4 to iOS5 my album artwork was gone. I've tried syncing again, no change. How do I recover the artwork?

I'd really appreciate any help that someone might have.

I discovered that the majority (but not all) of the album art that did make the transition from ios 5 had the "album artist" field completed in the "info" box for each song/artist. I therefore made sure that the album artist field was completed for each artist. You can right click on the artist's icon in artist view and edit the album artist for every song/album stored in iTunes at one time. I then resynched and every album cover appeared where it should. This was pretty quick but when I resynched I also discovered that some songs duplicated on my iPad. I deleted all the duplicates songs (but retained the file) and then resynched. Every album cover stayed put and it looks as it should. Now if I can just figure out how to force an artist's particular album the default view for an artist on mynipad like a can set in iTunes on my Mac.

Worthy Album Artwork Screensaver for Leopard?

Hi, I recently upgraded my macbook to leopard and was unhappy to see that the artwork tower used in a tech demo for Leopard a while ago wasn't included in the final build.
Instead apple inserted a lackluster 2D artwork flipping screen saver that many (including me) see in pink unless we reduce the amount of rows in it. Come on apple! release the itunes tower and show leopards capabilities! Anyone else agree?
If its also so simple to write, why hasn't someone smacked it together in core animation?

Yes, I too was disappointed to see this screen saver was not included in the final product.

Album artwork gone after ios5 update

So I just finished the update which went through with no problems but all my album artwork is gone on the ipad. anyway to fix this? when the next update comes out will it automatically put the artwork back on?

Safari now uses tabs to open new pages. That feature for the open windows no longer exists. Tap on the + sign at the right side of the toolbar to open a new tab and you can enter the web address in the url bar or use the seach field to find whatever you are looking for.

ITunes album art screensaver no longer works

My screensaver suddenly no longer displays the iTunes album artwork library.
Instead it's a black screen saying "Your iTunes Library does not contain any songs with artwork.
What happened here? Album artwork shows up fine in iTunes and the screensaver used to work just fine...

Update: I downgraded back to iTunes 8 - and the album artwork screensaver is finally back!
I also missed the photo album sorting feature with non-iPhoto photo syncing,
so for now the iTunes downgrade works for me ...
Hoping Apple will fix some of these issues with one of the next updates!

ITunes artwork screensaver not working

Since upgrading to mountain lion, the iTunes artwork screensaver does not work. I get a black screen with the words "your iTunes library doesn't contain any artwork" or something similar. What am I doing wrong?
Tom

Here's how I solved the problem:
1. Go into finder (or windows explorer).
2. Find the Album Artwork file within your itunes file (usually "computer name/music/itunes/album artwork") I noticed that I had 3 files, "cache," "cloud," and "download." The Cloud file was empty. But the cache file and download file had the exact same information.
3. Open the cache file. That should reveal a file that is identical to the file that is revealed if you open the Download file. On my system that file was "5C376133A78DCCBE" (may be different on your system, I don't know)
4. Right click your mouse over the 5C376133A78DCCBE file and select copy.
5. Go back to the Album Artwork file and open the Download file.
6. Right click your mouse over the 5C376133A78DCCBE and select paste. Let it overwrite/replace the 5C376133A78DCCBE file with the same 5C376133A78DCCBE file.
7. Go back to Album Artwork, right click the Cache file, and select "move to trash"
8. Quit iTunes (if you had it open).
9. Hold down the option key and reopen itunes.
10. Select "choose library"
11. Go "computer name/music/iTunes" and select the "iTunes Library.iti" file.
12. If you see iTunes importing the album artwork, you've done it right.
13. Test the iTunes Album Artwork screensaver and hopefully it works for you like it did for me!

Album Art screensaver won't work w/iTunes 9

I just updated to iTunes 9 and now my screensaver won't work. I use the standard Apple iTunes artwork screensaver. It say "You're iTunes library does not contain any songs with artwork". Any ideas? I closed iTunes, reopened it, restarted it. Obviously all my songs and artwork are still here.

Hi,
I was having the same problem and think I have a solution. Our iTunes folder is in our shared folder not in the original music folder.
My wife was charging her iPod and left the computer running when I noticed the album artwork screensaver displaying proudly. On a hunch I compared our iTunes folders in our Music Folder (~/music/itunes) and noticed I had an extra "iTunes music" folder within. Since my music is stored elsewhere it was empty. I believe the screen saver was searching this empty folder for artwork. I moved it to the trash and started the screen saver preference and lo and behold it now works.
Please check the folder for content before deleting it. For me it was empty. My daughter had the same issues also and trashing this file worked.
All the best,
Shaun.
