Albums no longer show up in itunes and screensaver/background control panel

As of a day or so ago I am not longer able to update my pics in itunes as itunes no longer shows my albums in the ipod section of the preferences. Also I no longer see my albums for screensaver in the screensaver pane of the control panel. It seems these two are interconnected. I have tried removing the prefs and am getting nothing. Maybe export the library and reimport fresh?
Newest versions of all software installed.

macona:
Welcome to the Apple Discussions. Even though you've tried deleting the preference files try the following:
1 - delete the iPhoto, iTunes and screensaver preference files. The screensaver files will be in your Library/ByHost folder. There may be at least two files with screensaver in the name.
2 - run Disk Utility and repair disk permissions.
3 - run Cocktail and delete the various use caches and run the cron scripts (in the Pilot section)
4 - launch the applications in the following order: iTunes and then iPhoto
5 - now try to reset the screen saver.
Do you Twango?

Album art work shows up in iTunes and not on iPOD? ***?

This is ******** - my album artwork shows up on iTunes but not on my iPOD - and just for some albums. Mainly the ones I added after "upgrading" to iTunes 7.
Someone tell me how to fix this issue - quite annoying...

Not yet sure if it helps but I had a reply that you might want to try:

Can't delete Itunes and Quicktime from Control Panel

Hi. I posted a few days ago re: when I tried to update Itunes, I received the 1608 error.
So, I have been trying to uninstall QT and Itunes via the Control Panel in Windows XP (Home) and when I click on both programs to remove, it blinks and then just stays there. They won't delete.
Any suggestions? I am about to the end of my rope! I have tried all the suggestions I can find here.
Do you think if I reinstalled everything on my computer, if that would work? I know it is extreme, but I can't get anything else to work. I am the authorized user in DCOM settings, I don't have Norton, I turned off the Virus protection in Yahoo, I deleted the items in temp directory,ect.
Thanks in advance!!

hi Ipisarki!
hmmmm. just checking. when you were trying to treat the 1608, did you try the InstallShield advice on the 1608?
(thinking here that whatever is causing the 1608 might be causing this problem ... so if we can fix the 1608s we might be able to get this problem fixed too.)
there's a link through to the InstallShield advice on the 1608 in this document:

Menu Bar Icons no longer showing, not able to switch on in control panel

I had sleep problems with my MBP (http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2449728&tstart=0) and as such I did a combo update as this could possibly solve it.
However, now all the control panel icons in the menu bar have gone (like the clock, network, airport, etc) and I am not able to switch them on in the relevant control panels. If I hit the tick box 'show in menu bar' of any control panel it ticks it for a split second and immediately removes the tick.
I am able to turn it on via /System/Library/CoreServices/Menu Extras/, however after a restart all is back to previous state, no icons in menu bar.
I redid the combo update > no success.
any ideas?

I did that and all is well in the other account.
in a moment of inspiration, I reinstalled the
Home/Library/Preferences/com.apple.systemuiserver.plist
/Library/Preferences/SystemConfiguration/com.apple.PowerManagement.plist
from a backup and this solved the Menu Bar issue.
Thanks for thinking with me.

Album art not showing up in itunes and iPod classic

Can this issue be resolved? Any tips would be appreciated

I'm sure it can. First of all, have you tried to "get album art"(by right-clicking and choosing it) as you signed into the iTunes store?

Some album covers not showing up in iTunes artwork screensaver

I'm seeing a lot of similar topics so maybe there is no fix to this, but here goes anyways...
I just got my Macbook Air about a month ago so I have the newest OS and I check for updates frequently. Now all the music I have so far on my iTunes is music I ripped directly off CD's I own, not burnt copies but originals. Some of the artwork was missing and I corrected it already with the Artwork option in 'Get Info'. However when I check the iTunes screensaver there is ONE album cover that no matter what I try, it WILL NOT show up. It's starting to drive me crazy. Strangely enough it was the only CD my Superdrive had trouble reading, which I also had to google tirelessly and remedy.
Is there anything I can do to resolve this? It's just one image so it seems like it should be a quick fix, but I can't get around it. Help?

This happen sometimes (seldom) if the album art on one song in a album is corrupted.
Mark all songs from that album in iTunes at once or right click on Album in Album view
Open the info pane (Get info)
click the little Artwork window down right active and press backspace key to delete the Album Art from the songs.
Copy (drag&drop) the picture again in that little window
click OK and confirm the pop up
Then check again with the Album Art screen saver.

When I went to update my iPod touch on iTunes, it said unable to update then the iPod shutdown and no longer showed connected in iTunes. I have tried holding down both buttons for up to 3 mins with no luck turning it on, even after a full charge. Help?

Try:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
- If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
- Try on another computer
- If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

I have an older iPod that no longer shows up in iTunes or appears to be charging. When I press the Menu and Select buttons, the Apple logo appears and then an icon of a battery with an exclamation point. Is it dead for good?

If it is otherwise working, you can change the battery. If you want to do it yourself, you can buy the part on eBay and other online sources. Just make sure you know the type of iPod you have so that you get the right part.

There are online guides, including the ones on this web site
http://www.ifixit.com/Device/iPod
(Note: Most replacement batteries come with plastic/nylon tools seen in the guides.)
You can also have a repair business do the work.
If it is just the battery, if you do a Reset (using the Menu and Select buttons) while it is connect to your computer, I think it should still be recognized by iTunes.

AppleTV no longer shows up in iTunes after Snow Leopard security update?

I just installed the latest security update for Snow Leopard and now my AppleTV no longer shows up in iTunes. I don't know for sure if the security update is actually the cause, but I was able to connect not even an hour earlier in the evening.
Anyone else seeing this behaviour? I've power cycled the ATV, along with my router with no change.

Could be the same problem others are having with latest version of iTunes. See this thread:

Apple TV no longer showing up in Itunes

I went to settings on Apple TV and tested the network, which was o.k. Apple TV is connected through an ethernet connection to a Linksys router. Apple TV no longer shows up in Itunes. An aside question relating to Itunes: In my movie library, to the left of the movie name, a circle sometimes appears. Some movies have no circles. Some of the circles which appear are solid blue, some are half blue/half white. What do these circles and color codes mean? thanks

Have you tried restarting all your equipment, has anything anywhere on your set p changed.

A blue circle indicates you haven't yet watched it, a half blue circle that you have started to watch it but didn't finish it.

How Come My iPhone 3G No Longer Shows Up in iTunes?

All of a sudden my iPhone doesn't show up in the iTunes sidebar on my 20" iMac, but using the same cable it does on my MacBook. I have tried plugging it in diretly to the iMac as well as to my Belkin hub, but it no longer shows up in iTunes, nor does it charge when plugged it. The iPhone stays dark when first pluged in.
Does anyone know why when plugging in the iPhone 3G or my iPod Classic (old school) it won't load on the side bar of iTunes? It is like it does not exist. I have done all updates. I restarted my computer a couple of times and finally got the iPod Classic to load but still the iPhone 3G shows nothing. It won';t even boot my phone up to charge it but will the iPod.
I use the iPhone on my MackBook with the same cord and it loads to iTunes and starts to sync. Same with the iPod. Both computers are running the same software. Since it works on the MacBook and use to work on then iMac G5 I am thinking it may have something to do with the updates for iTunes. I use the MacBook to charge the iPhone and iPod sometimes but the main computer for syncing is the iMac. Only nothing seems to work. After restarting the iMac several times the iPod seems to work then not work. I am frustrated. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!

hi John, i have my doubt that it has something to do with authorization/deauthorization. I have read somewhere before that the iPhone (not sure about iPod) can only be "paired" with one mac and if you want to synch it with another one, you need to deauthorize the initial one first. Inside iTune up on its menu bar under Store, there are 2 options that said authorize and deauthorize. Now i haven't tried this before as i only got myself one mac, so i have no past experience here with this particular case. May be some other experienced users can shed some light on this and share with us, before you try out?

Remote speakers no longer show up in iTunes

I have recently had to send my DVD/surround-sound into the shop for repair. It used to play iTunes through Airport Express fine, but now I've tried hooking Airport up to both my TV and another stereo, but in both cases remote speakers no longer show up in iTunes. I've tried reconfiguring Airport Express, and have got 'look for remote speakers' checked in iTunes prefs, bit to no avail...can anyone help me?
Also, on a related note, last time I had probas, I chatted with a support guy online somewhere on Apple.com but I can't seem to find this anymore...anyone know where it's gone?

I had the same problem. I was using iTunes 7.0.2 with two Airport Express devices and it worked fine when the Bonjour service was running at the same time.
After I upgraded to iTunes 7.1 I was unable to connect to my Airport Express devices unless I disabled\stopped the Bonjour service. :-/
While disabling the Bonjour service is a workaround for iTunes, it breaks other 3rd party apps that use the Bonjour service to stream to the Airport Express devices. I have a WinAmp plugin that allows me to stream WinAmp to my Airport devices that doesn't work when the Bonjour service is turned off.
I hope Apple fixes this problem ASAP. I hope Apple didn't do this to intentionally to defeat 3rd party apps that figured out how to stream to an Airport Express.

Artwork is not showing up on iTunes and on my iphone.

Artwork is not showing up on iTunes and on my iphone. Why is this?

I am having the same problem, i edited everything multiple times, sometime my album artwork will show up and then disappear after time. I have tried everything, even wiping my ipads music library and changing each file to AAC format, the artwork remains in my itunes when i pull up a song but as soon as i transfer the music to my ipad, everything loads successfully...EXCEPT the album artwork. Really annoying!! I really wish i could find an answer before I load all of my music back on and just give up on the search for answers,
please get in touch with me if you find out how to fix this and i will do the same for you.
I have twitter, facebook, myspace, tumblr, about me, google & aol
thank you
