Can i use my album covers as a screensaver

MAybe an idea for the next version (7.0.2?) of Itunes, to ensure that you can have your own album covers collection as a screensaver on your computer?

Actually, there is a way to limit the amount of space Time Machine uses for backup so that it won't eat up all your disk space...for example, I have mine set to only use 65GB, and then it starts to overwrite older backups...Google it for more info. To begin with, I deleted my Sparse Disk Image Bundle from Time Capsule, and used Disk Utility to create a Sparse Disk Image Bundle (turn off backups first!!!) with a capacity of 65GB in HFS Journaled, Case Sensitive...The Image must be named as follows "Full Computer Name_Ethernet MAC Address" (The ethernet MAC address is used even if you plan to solely use wifi for backups). for example, my Sparse Disk Image Bundle name is "Ahmad Atiya's MacBook Pro_00254b9d8f72.sparsebundle" Move this image to your time capsule's main directory (if you didn't create it there to begin with). Go to your Time Machine preferences, turn it on, and set it to use your Time Capsule. It should start using the image you created. If you click "get info" on the disk image, it'll show a capacity of whatever you created.

You need to add the album art.
Use something like this...

Can I use multiple Album Artworks in iTunes?

Hi everyone.
So I have a 5 disc Album in my iTunes library. & I have artwork for each disc & then the album itself. I'd like to be able to use the artwork for each disc, so that every track has the corresponding artwork for the disc that its from. But I'd also like to use the main album art, so I can see it when browsing through my albums. But I can't find a way to do this.
I already know how to give each disc in one album its individual artwork, I've already done that. But I can't find a way to use the main album art just as a cover for the album, without it replacing every tracks album art.
Is this possible, at all? Thank you!

You can give track 1 of the first disc the main album artwork. That should show when you play track 1 at top of the screen and when browsing albums. All other tracks would then show the individual disc art at the top when played or in the mini-player with the artwork panel showing.
FWIW you can embed multiple images in each track but iTunes doesn't have a way to show them automatically.

How can I use several albums for a book?

I started a book but I cannot change the album I want to pull photos from without starting a new book.
Any suggestions?

I started a book but I cannot change the album I want to pull photos from without starting a new book.
I assumes you have a book started - now open the second album and drag the photos to the book project in the source pane on the left - do it again with each album you want to use
All of the photos you drug to the book - from albums or events - are now available to use in the book - you can add additional photos at any thime by dragging them to the project project in the source pane

Can't use iPhoto Album as Screensaver in Snow Leopard with iLife '11?

I just upgraded my iMac to Snow Leopard (10.6.3) so I could install iLife '11.
After installing both, I noticed my screen saver wasn't using the iPhoto album I had originally selected before the upgrade.
When going to System Preferences > Destop & Screen Saver > Screen Saver the options are:
Apple
     Arabesque
     Computer Name
     Flurry
     iTunes Artwork
     RSS Visualizer
     Shell
     Spectrum
     Word of the Day
Pictures
     Shuffle
     Abstract
     Beach
     Cosmos
     Forest
     Nature Patterns
     Paper Shadow
There used to be an option for iPhoto albums, or am I just not seeing something?
Thanks,
Rob

Can iTunes use the Album/Artist/Trackname info in MP3 Files?

I have many files with ID3v1 info about album/artist/and track name in them. Some are MP3, others are WAV files with this ID3 data appended. Is there any way to have iTunes use this data when importing the files?

For the MP3s, yes.
For the WAVs, no.
When you add a WAV to the library, iTunes picks up the filename and displays it as the Title.

How can I use other album pictures?

Hi
For each artist iTunes choses an album picture (see picture).
Often this is not the album picture which I would want to appear.
How can I change these pictures?
Many thanks.

Is there really no solution for manually changing these pictures?
Any help is much appreciated!

I can't see my album covers!

For certain songs and albums, all I get is a completely black image. (At other times half of the album image is shown, but the bottom half is completely black.)
I have the actual album artwork and it shows on iTunes, but I'm not sure why it will not come up in my actual iPod!
P.S. I have a 16GB iPod Touch, Second Generation!

I'm with you. I have had this problem ever since the transition to 4.8 and 2.2. It is clear that loads of others do also. I pay for music from iTunes. I download much of it now directly to my iPod. When I sync, the artwork disappears.
That is not what I paid for, and is not why I have an iPod Touch. Apple has to be aware of this problem - it's all over the internet - yet they do nothing about it. This should be a fix that appeared immediately, not as part of some larger OS update.
Worse, the solutions you get when you post the problem are identical to the ones in this thread. Not that I don't appreciate people offering advice, but checking my settings or cut/pasting artwork are unacceptable solutions when I paid what I have for this garbage.
It seems as if a Microsoft culture has taken root at Apple.

Can't use my photos as a Slideshow Screensaver!

I have a folder in which I place photos that I want to use in my screensaver - and up 'til a few weeks ago, everything was fine.
But now, when I try to select a slideshow-type screen saver, I get the RaInbow Wheel of Death and a message that says, "Looking for Photos". The Wheel and the message stay on-screen for hours, as it seems that the **** thing is trying to use ALL of my photos. I want to use SOME of my photos as a screen saver (as I used to be able to) but now there's no option to select my ScreenSaver folder.
The same thing happened to my Apple TV.
I'm ******. But I don't know if its my dumbness or some faceless Apple technician's dumbness.
Kin y'all he'p me?

I just upgraded today from Snow Leopard (OS/X 10.6) to Mountain Lion (OS/X 10.8) and shortly afterwards encountered this problem once I tried to change my slide show. Machine has iLife '09 on it. Apparently, Mountain Lion doesn't like showing photos from within the iPhoto '09 directory! Doesn't make a lot of sense, since it can show the slide show on photos in other directories instead, guess this is a case of Apple trying to give us a nudge to upgrade to iLife '11 in a very unfriendly way!
At any rate, once I realized that the problem might be Mountain Lion going bezerk that an iPhoto '09 photo album is set as screen saver (because in Snow Leopard that was just fine), I went and deleted the screen saver plist files at HomeDir/Library/Preferences/ByHost (the Library subdirectory is hidden now, you need to just use Shift-Command-G and type it in to get there). Once that was done, I went back into System Preferences and the screen savers plist were re-created as default and I could now pick from the allowable directories.
This is really unprofessional handling by Apple. Instead of running my VM through the roof in System Preferences (I clearly saw memory in use exceed 20GB while I still had this issue), they should just pop up an error message and stop the process. And it is still unclear why they will not sign iPhoto '09 as an Apple-approved app. so I could select those albums directly (the periodic reminders to upgrade to iLife '11 from iLife '09 aren't enough nudge?). There may be a trick using soft links to make the iPhoto '09 raw files available, but I really expected better from Apple products.

Can I use Apple TV without having a screensaver or anything displayed on the TV

It would be nice to be able to listen to Itunes radio without a picture.

Apple TV requires an HDTV. It is a media streamer and all content would be available on your Mac so there would be no reason to connect it anyway.

How can I see my albums in list view on itunes 11.1.5

I used to be able to see and sort my albums in list view. With this latest release all I can find are my album covers. I want to see them in text, and sortable by name, artist, etc as I can with songs. I've checked Show List View for All Media in my preferences. Thanks for any help with this.

I believe the closest you can come is look at your songs in Songs. There you can sort by albums.
The album view does not contain a list view any longer.

Album artwork - itunes cannot find some album covers?

iTunes says that it cannot find album covers for some albums, some examples being - "ok computer" (radiohead). any ideas why this happens, and how i can resolve would be appreciated !
thanks.

iTunes will only download artwork for albums that are on sale in the iTunes Store. I don't believe OK Computer is available through iTunes. if you can't find the album covers you want from iTunes you can get them from various other sources. I find this site is a good source of artwork: CD/Album Cover Art Search from SlothRadio.
Another place for finding suitable artwork is to go to Amazon. You can also locate artwork using Google image search and put the artist or album name. Locate the album from any of those sources, right click on the image and save it to the desktop, once it's there drag it to the iTunes artwork pane. Once you've added the artwork you can either delete the original file or keep it in a folder somewhere in case you need to use it again. Alternatively there are programs like these that help locate artwork: iTunes Art Importer or MP3 Tag
If you have a scanner you can create your own artwork files by scanning the CD cover itself, this is particularly useful when you are dealing with rare recordings. You'll get information on adding artwork manually and automatically at this link: iTunes 7 for Windows - Adding artwork to songs and other items

1st I'm legally blind hard to search your database. Issue = when I upgraded to firefox v4.0.1 Album covers on Amazon can no longer be seen on screen. They can be seen using Explorer browser. What must I do to re capture this feature in Firefox?

I have been using Firefox for sometime and when latest version was available I upgraded to the new version 4.0.1. After the upgrade I am unable to see pictures in my browser, when viewing the amazon.com site. Before the upgrade I was able to view music album covers, movie covers, etc. beside titles descriptions and pricing information. If I return to my Explorer browser these pictures can still be viewed. Pictures do not appear when using the upgraded Firefox browser. Because I am legally blind I sometimes use the pictures to help me identify what I am looking for at a glance. Because I do not want to capture all my bookmarks or reinstall Firefox I would like to know if there is a simple fix. Thank you, DJ
