Can't play my music from the Lion Screensaver

Running Lion from an Early 2008 24" iMac.  iTunes 10.4.  When album artwork screensaver is on the screen, I tap an album cover. Get the play icon, but no music.  Happens with each tap of an album cover.  Note: the "Exit" icon shows up in the bottom right hand corner of the screen. Hint: it will not allow an exit from the screen.
Giving up, and hitting enter. When I open iTunes, I notice a new playlist for album artwork screensaver.  Don't want this palylist. Delete.  Follow the same procedures, just like in Groundhoug Day.
Tried re-installing iTunes. Didn't work. Not sure how to uninstall, then re-install Lion.
No help from the Apple Store.  
Any ideas?

Turn off the option to "copy files to iTunes Music folder when adding to library" in the iTunes -> Advanced -> General preferences). Then when you add the tracks to iTunes, they won't be copied to the C: drive. Note that if you want future purchases and imports from CD to be saved to your external drive as well, you'll need to set the location of the iTunes Music folder (iTunes Advanced preference).

    Possibly nobody has answered this in 10 hours because your question is not clear.  Accept?  What exactly are you trying to do?
    Do you mean authorize?

  • HT4437 Can I play a video from the remote app onto apple tv whilst simultaneously stra,ing music to other speakers via express?

    Can I play a video from the remote app onto apple tv whilst simultaneously stra,ing music to other speakers via express?

    Thank you for that, I wanted to make sure I was trying to replicate the same thing as you. Just tried it now, works fine for me.
    Of note though, this will take a relatively well performing network to achieve this, I have such a network, if your network is not as good as it might be, you might encounter problems.
    For the avoidance of doubt, I used the remote app on my phone to get my iTunes library on my computer to stream music to 3 of my Apple TVs, I then used the remote app to control another Apple TV and get it to stream a music video from my computer to it. Of interest I managed to do this while my wife was using yet another Apple TV (not with the remote app) to watch something else from iTunes on my computer.

  • I have an ipod touch.But i want to buy a ipod shuffel.Can i sync my music from the touch to the shuffel and if so how?

    I have a ipod touch but want to buy a ipod shuffel. can i sync my music from the touch to the shuffel and how? but if i cant how do i buy music from itunes on the shuffel?

    You can't go directly from the Touch to the Shuffle, but if you can get the music into your itunes library on your computer, you'll be able to sync that music to the Shuffle no problem.

  • I can't play certain videos from the internet on my macbook

    I can't play certain videos from the internet on my macbook.
    When using Sarfari or Google Chome, I am unable to play some videos on the internet. News clips, posted videos on blogs, and tv episodes from their own network websites. Youtube videos are fine. I doesn't make sense.
    I tried downloading an update for quicktime, but the computer claims that quicktime is up to date. Yet, the videos and tv episodes don't play.
    I have checked for the most recent software updates, and everything is up to date. Nothing is wrong with the hardware either.
    Any suggestions would be awesome! Thank you!

    In addition to Flash, you might need some other plugins.  Microsoft videos are mostly in Silverlight, and you'll want Flip4Mac to play WMVs.  Perian contains codecs for pretty much every video online.

    Thanks, but unfortunately, this is not a message, it is the HTML page that it shown after a student registers for a course. I can see how to preview it at

  • Ive had a lap top from a friend, she cleared everything off it but ive downloaded itunes and all her music has appeared in the itunes library. How can i delete her music from the itunes library?

    ive got a laptop from a friend, she cleared everything off it. ive downloaded itunes and for some reason all her music has appeared in the library. How do i delete her music from the itunes libary so i can add my own music?

    In iTunes, select the music you want to delete (⌘+a to select all) and hit Delete on your keyboard.
    Also delete the music files in Finder. Also make sure you have your own Apple ID and iTunes account and logged in.

  • Can I transfer my music from the ipod to itunes?

    I was having a problem with itunes so I completely deleted it and reinstalled it, thinking that I could sync music from my ipod to the itunes library. Unfortunately, the new itunes said that my ipod was synced to a different library. So if I were to sync it now all of the contents of the new library would be on the ipod. (i.e. nothing)
    My question is can I transfer the music on the ipod to the itunes library instead of the other way around?

    If you are using iTunes version 7 or later, then you can transfer purchased iTunes store music from the iPod to an authorized computer by using the "file/transfer purchases from iPod" menu. Note that the maximum of 5 authorized computers applies here.
    For all other non purchased music (your own CDs etc) try this method which works on some Windows PCs.
    Enable your iPod for disk use.
    See: iPod Disk Use.
    Open iTunes and select edit/preferences/advanced/general. Put a check mark in the box marked "copy files to iTunes music folder when adding to library" and also "keep iTunes music folder organized", then click 'ok'.
    Connect the iPod whilst holding down the shift/ctrl keys to prevent any auto sync, and if you see the dialogue window asking if you want to sync to this itunes library, click 'no'.
    Then go to file/add folder, open 'my computer', select your iPod and click 'ok'.
    The music files should transfer to your iTunes.
    If this doesn't work (and it may not because officially it's not supposed to), check out the instructions/suggestions here.
    Music from iPod to computer (using option 2). This a manual method using "hidden folders" and although it works, it can be messy.
    Much easier ways are to use one of the many 3rd party programs that copy music from the iPod to the computer.
    One of the most recommended is Yamipod. This is a free program that transfers music and playlists etc from iPod back to the computer. However, it does not transfer playcounts/ratings etc.
    Another free program is Pod Player.
    There is also CopyPod. This does preserve ratings/playcounts etc if those are important to you but this program is not free. It also supports video transfer.
