Album Cover Screen Saver: How to exclude Audiobook covers?
Hi!
Is there a way to exclude certain types of covers, like in my example the Audiobook covers from being shown in the screen saver?
I have about hundred boring and similar looking Album covers for Audiobooks which I like NOT to show. However I also don't want to remove the album art from the files either.
If the Album art is scattered in the same folder as your pictures then you have a little bit of work ahead of you... the best thing to do it do make a folder within the photo folder and make it just for your album art...
So then when you go to screen saver to make the selection of what photos to show you can exclude the album work...
I was in the same boat until I saw what was happening when I came back from the bathroom... aah
Cheers

***** in my album cover screen saver
In the last week or so when my cover art screen saver is active there have been ***** photos appearing along with the cover photos. Not always but about every 10 minutes another **** shot appears.
Anyone know how I can view the folder of cover art and delete the ****? I'm not against **** per se I't just that it offends my wife and she thinks that somehow I must be responsible for it.
Anyone else getting **** when they get cover art from itunes? I've never gotten cover art anyplace but the itunes "get cover art" feature so I'm wondering if this is happening to anyone else and how i can get at those photos to delete them. I've looked in the music/itunes/album artwork folder and all that's there are files that end with an .itc extension. Thanks for any help!Hey Frank,
Just a question of curiosity, was your album artwork correct and normal before, and suddenly became full of pørn? Or what?
LOL, that's a strange thing that happened, are you sure you didn't use iTunes' album artwork settings to hide some pørn? haha!

Album cover screen saver?
If I set the screen saver to album cover all I get is a black screen when the screen saver kicks on. I am streaming all of my content and not synching but I'm not sure if this has anything to do with the black screen. I'm assuming that this setting should display a floating album cover art on the screen of whatever song is playing at the time the screen saver kicks on right? Anyone else having this problem?
Yes - I get the same thing. I read on another site that only album covers from synced content show up here. I tried it out and it works. Hopefully a future update allows cover art from streamed content as well....

Streaming Album Cover Screen-Saver crash AND Fix
I suffered from an ATV stutter/freeze and crash whenever I tried to stream music and use Album Cover Art as the screen-saver.
I tried a small, no LARGE experiment (over 35,000 songs) in iTunes. I had *a lot* of Exotica and Space Age Pop from out of print lps and I used to save full scans of the front and back covers in each song. Some were over 1800 pixels in size, adding a couple of MGs to each song! This wasn't an issue with drive space or my current iMac/iTunes for me.
I resized any album art over 600 -700 pixels. If the art was over this size, I used a script to export the art to a 600 x 600 pixel jpg and re-embedded them in the album.
Now I can happily stream, use other macs and still have stutter-free art work on the HD TV. I'm convinced now as some others here, that the ATV is just not powerful enough to push through a graphics intensive task while playing music. Right now as I type, I'm listening to internet radio, my partner is surfing on the other mac AND the screen-saver is displaying my Album Art in all its glory. This was impossible last week. No wonder ATV doesn't offer a visualizer.
AA valuable observation Al, I also conducted some simple experiments and found that setting the time taken for the screensaver to kick in for longer resolved the issues with poor response when using the album art as a screensaver.
Perhaps you might share your script so that others might try your diagnosis. -

NEW Album cover screen saver - where is it?
One of the cool previews posted on the apple site last month was the ALBUM COVERS screen saver. Album covers were creating towers, waterfalls and all kinds of other cool stuff. I can't seem to find this feature anywhere?
Where is it?I think this was actually just a core image file or something - I remember seeing it at a Leopard tech talk too.
Perhaps it's in the developer toolkit? -
Album Artwork Screen saver and iTunes Match
Since joining iTunes Match, my Album Artwork Screen saver can't find any art. How do I fix this?
The artwork is evident within iTunes, but the screen saver is a black screen with a message saying that it can't find any album artwork.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? -
New album art feature and the album art screen saver
Hi,
I've been using (and enjoying) the built-in album art screen saver for my locked screen for a long time. A few days after I've updated to iTunes 7, I began to delete old covers of my favorite albums (low resolution, bad color, read: Google image search) and applied the better-looking ITMS covers by selectively using the "get album art" feature.
Since I did that, those favorite albums do not appear in the screen saver rotation anymore.
I'm aware that the downloaded covers aren't saved in-file but in the /Album Artwork folder, so I'm certain that's the problem - the screen saver isn't programmed to look for those.
Now, does a workaround exist for that? Does Apple plan a small update (unlikely) / did anybody write a compatible clone / did anybody found a hack? Unfortunately, it's not in the localizible part of "iTunes Artwork.saver".
Thanks in advance for your help!

Powerbook G4, Jan 06 Mac OS X (10.4.7) 1 GB RAMSame 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.

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. -
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.

OS5.1 forced album artwork screen saver on me. How do I get rid of it?
I just loaded the newest OS for the Apple TV. I use my own photos for my screen saver. But the new OS has forced album artwork into my photo rotation. All I see is album artwork. I dont want that. Anyone know how to get rid of it? There is no on/off with that option in the screen saver menu.
Tophipherous,
I was confused too because i did not see the "My Computers" option that the jmfindley referenced. Here is how I was able to solve this problem on my Apple TV (5.1.1)
On the main screen go to "Photo Stream"
Select "Settings"
If any photo streams are currenty signed on (linked to the Apple TV) select "Sign Out"
Then, sign back on using the apple ID associated with Photo Stream you want to see displayed through your Apple TV. It should start building the library slowly on the screen, the number of photos will increment upwards a few at a time.
Finally, double check that your screensaver settings are correct (this happened automatically for me). On the home screen go into "Settings". Under "Screen Saver" check that the Photos option is now set to "My Photo Stream"
Hope this helps. -

How do I exit or eliminate the album cover screen in the music player?
THe music app on iPhone6 has a screen with pictures of album covers of the music on the phone. Once that screen appears how do I exit that screen to control the music? Better eliminate that screen altogether as it seems useless.
In the View menu select Toolbars, then click on the names of the toolbars that you want to hide. You can also right-click on a toolbar and click on the name of the toolbar to toggle displaying it. Active toolbars will have a tick by their name.
