Glitch with Itunes ScreenSaver in OS -- won't use all artwork?

Hi Mac Peeps ---
I just upgraded to Mac OS X 10.4.11 Tiger (opted to wait it out a bit for Leopard) on my older 20" imac g5 1.8 GHz PowerPC.
Everything seems to work pretty seamlessly, I love finally having a lot of the Tiger features....but I'm having a hiccup with the "use itunes artwork" screensaver in the OS.
I have a TON of different downloaded artwork images within itunes for all of my music, but for some reason the screensaver only seems to want to display the ones associated with music/video that I downloaded from itunes itself --- not any of the CD's from my collection that I burned onto itunes, and then downloaded the album artwork for. Consequently, I have an extremely limited number of artwork images shown on my screen.....yarghhhh
This is really peeving me --- has anyone had to deal with anything similar??
Much obliged to get any guidance / encouragement / commiseration!
Best Regards, Mac Community!
-Mike T.

My new iPad is synced with iTunes but now it won't recognize my iPod nano. How do I get it to recognize both? iTunes synced with my Nano just fine until I added the iPad.

How can i sync my calendar in Outlook 2007 with iTunes 11.1.3.8 WITHOUT using iCloud?

How can i sync my calendar in Outlook 2007 with iTunes 11.1.3.8 WITHOUT using iCloud?

your link shows how to sync, i know how to do that.
i specifically wanted to sync my outlook calendar with my phone, not my outlook calendar with icloud calendar.
apparently you have to go into setup on phone and tell phone not to sync calendars with icloud so you can get choice to sync phone via itunes.
thanks anyways for trying.
feel free to reference my solution for similar questions.

ITunes Match info says"With iTunes Match, you can download some or all of your music directly from iCloud on a total of up to 10 devices and computers." but when I try to add a computer it tells me i have reached my maximum of 5 computers.

You have old computers authorized that you are no longer using more than likely.
From http://www.apple.com/itunes/features/
Authorize and Deauthorize
Purchases you make from the iTunes Store can be played on up to five computers that you authorize using your iTunes Store account name and password. To authorize or deauthorize a single computer, choose Authorize This Computer or Deauthorize This Computer from the Store menu. If all five authorizations are being used, you can deauthorize all your computers at one time by choosing View My Account from the Store menu and selecting Deauthorize All.
You can then restart the authorization process with each current device.

ITunes Match on the iPhone 4 uses all free space

iTunes Match on the iPhone 4 uses all available space (8GB). The deactivation and reactivation does not work. The problem persists! Even unplugging the Apple ID and opening the Music app there are still all the artists, playlists, albums, etc. etc. (in the settings app music occupies 0 bytes! Have not saved songs). I have already restored three times! restarting iPhone available space returns to 8GB, opening the Music app after a few minutes iOS noted that the space is occupied.
iPad 2 and iPhone 3GS regularly work with the same Apple ID!
Any advice?

I am also reporting the same behavior. I, like billybaloney, have an almost "topped-out" iTunes Match collection (I actually have to manage keeping the matched content under the Apple 25K limit, but that is a different matter). Whenever I open Music app on my phone - 4S, iOS 7.11 - I see my available storage go to nil, and I start getting the "Storage Almost Full" messages. Which, if you have received them, also puts a significant drag on the performance of the device.
I am fully aware of the download locally (device) of "played" content, so I expect the number of songs and albums I have played to be resident on the phone after, and that requiring manual cleanup. I can see this by taking the phone offline (airplane mode, or literally out of coverage), and then opening the Music app and seeing only what is truly on the device.
I suspect that the "eater of free space" in the iTunes Match arena, for users with a large library of iCloud selections, is as simple as the iTunes library info to render for selection (not the music, but the artist, album, song and playlist lists, and the album artwork). Resetting your phone is a PITA for workaround. Something needs to be done, but I have a feeling nothing will. Or it will require an iOS update to a newer version that my devices won't be eligible to load.
Any insight or help would be great. Workarounds are only that: work arounds. Solution is what is needed.

Glitch with iTunes Volume Adjustment.

I'm having this tiny glitch with the volume adjustment feature in iTunes. I have certain songs that are too soft, so I turned the volume adjustment on those songs to 100%. I sync those songs to my iPhone 3GS running 5.0.1. However, after those songs finish playing, the next song that plays will also be adjusted to 100%, even when I didn't make it that way. Only way to rectify this is to choose another song from my music list on my iPhone, making the volume back to normal.
It's a minor annoyance, but one nonetheless. I have my playlist on shuffle, and everytime I hear a song which I know I adjusted to 100%, I know I have to choose another song from my playlist because the next song that comes after that will be insanely loud.
If anyone can provide me with a solution, it is greatly appreciated.

Never mind, resyncing seems to have solved the problem.

System Prefs crash with iTunes Screensaver

This morning I was playing around with the iTunes Artwork screensaver in System Preferences. Everything was working fine until I set the number of rows in the screensaver to two. Now, whenever I click on the screensaver, System Preferences crashes. Does anyone know what to do? Can I reinstall the iTunes screensaver somehow?
MacBook Pro 2.0 GHz Mac OS X (10.4.7)

Hey there - I actually think I fixed it! I went into System/Library/Screen Savers and moved the file iTunes Artwork.saver to the Trash. Then, I reopened System Preferences and changed the screen saver to one of the other default choices. Then, after making sure that the new screen saver worked, I just moved the iTunes Artwork.saver file back into the same place as before. Then I was able to reopen System Prefs and change the screen saver back (but I was very careful not to put it back down to two rows!) This all came about by trial and error, but I hope it helps.

Problem with iTunes since upgrade. Won't sync properly. Please Help!

Ever since I have updated iTunes to 7.1, when I try to add songs onto my iPod, I get a message reading: The iPod "Sheri's iPod" cannot be synced. The required file cannot be found.
My sister just bought the 8gig and out of 1600 songs, it accepted 2 songs. Please help!

Excuse the length of this but I felt detail was essential to hunting this down.
I must add my voice to this thread - seems one of several hundred that remains unanswered and I am fed up with dealing with this. If anyone has a thought I would welcome it. The search engine has no useful results to offer that I have been able to find.
Have a 20GB 4th Gen. iPod. Approximately 4100 songs - 18.2 GB in Library. Consistently after restoring with latest download as of this writing Apr.2 2007 experiencing again what I have been struggling with for weeks with this; As of today after a complete low level formatting of the hard drive - fresh reinstallation of Windows XP and all apps from scratch! 14 hrs of work dear apple folk, Having run a Complete virus check with Kaspersky IS 6.0 (trial), eTrust IS (Trial), and Norton IS 2007, Spy sweeper, Hitman Pro 2, Root kit revealer and a few others I am relatively convinced that there are no mal-spy wares on the system or iPod.
My iTunes library is on another physical drive. I have had no issues syncing from this drive when this did work.
Tried to reinstall the original iPod/iTunes software as per the disk shipped with the iPod # 2Z691-5715-A it failed at 99% to load due to an MSI error. - This confounded me.
Tried sync again using the most recent version of iTunes/QT and as previously posted by others without reply and experienced many times, repeat-many times over, have had the sync stall at no consistent point though roughly anywhere from 700 -1700 songs reportedly having been transferred only to stall. The iPod transfers only play lists no songs are transferred or listed though upon reboot and reattachment it shows data other than audio present but is obviously corrupted and the chkdsk message appears. Chkdsk finds no physical errors and I'm back to the restore loop. The iPod is restorable under Windows most of the time. Sometimes it is unable to do so. I have the luxury of a MacG4 Powerbook but my HD can't store those songs as it is for work use only but iTunes reformats it as a windows iPod or sometimes I have gone to restore it to Mac and then re-restore it to Windows format again on the PC. This I think eliminates the possibility that it is an issue with the USB connector or fire wire cables. I should be clear all sync is done via USB on the PC.
I have tried this on both the separate USB card installed on the system as well as through the USB ports available on the motherboard. Problem remains consistent.
I have experienced occasionally but for the most part infrequently, a report from my Konica/Minolta 2400W Colour Laser printer monitor - connected by USB on the Motherboard USB port, a sudden loss of communication with the printer preceding the iTunes sync stall. I have yet to try with the printer turned off and the monitor software removed but will report results in a further post - though this has never been a problem in the past.
Stall means that iTunes shows the sync in progress but no advancement from the song it is stuck on for hours. Task manager reports that the CPU is engaged at nearly fully utilization varying from 88 -99% of available resources. From iTunes an attempt to eject the iPod stalls with the eject button in pushed down state and hangs - the only way to proceed is to physically disconnect the iPod and close iTunes from the task manager. I have tried reducing the priority level of iTunes and the iPodhelper to see if I could buy time to eject the iPod without corruption but to no avail. Consistently, iPodhelper service and itunes.exe remains open even though the window closes. Of note those services remain running despite efforts to shut them down through task manager. This lead me initially to believe that the software was hijacked by a virus root kit or other malware but I have been unable to find any evidence to support that notion.
Further - i tried after restoring the iPod for the umpteenth time to try another software Media monkey. It too experienced the same bloody problem stalling out through the sync at 300 songs or so and same result with task manager unable to close process despite window being closed.
My conclusions:
Problem exists with iTunes software or some yet undeterminable windows process;
a) USB communications seems fine as am able to restore iPod through connector. Windows XP Pro detects iPod as a drive in explorer.
b) Song Database is fine and iTunes will play everything on hard drive(s) and in library.
c) iPod is okay - able to sync and list a few sample songs off MAcG4 Powerbook when formatted Mac or PC.
d) The R's all work - iPod reports no diagnostic issues
e) No viral, spy ware, root kit or malware detected after comprehensive scanning.
So what next???? I am completely at a loss... and missing my music..

Has anyone notice some glitches with iTunes Radio?

One problem have had is everytime I close my radio on the background it erases all the songs I added to my wish list. And another problem is that sometimes i will try to add a song to my wishlist and it will restart my iPhone completely like a hard reset.

I've had some problems with iTunes Radio as well. If I add a song to my wishlist then close the app in the backgroud it erases it! Also, if I look at my wish list, it has songs I have added but then it has two white boxes under my songs that I cant get rid of! No matter how many times I delete them they are always there.

What do I do with iTunes gift cards if I am using Family sharing?

My wife and I just purchased new iPhone. We both have iTunes gift cards but want to use Family sharing. What do we do with the iTunes cards?

Thank you for your response, but the gift card has been redeemed already on my account. I am the family organizer with a gift card balance already.
and only YOU can use that gift card balance...
However, as the family organizer with a gift card balance, my daughter made a purchase and it was processed against my credit card, instead of my gift card balance. I think it's a glitch with family share. I see that I am not the only one with this problem.
This is how FamilySharing with Gift Cards is supposed to work.
Using gift cards in Family Sharing will charge against a gift card ONLY for purchases against that specific account.
You redeemed the gift card you you account so only purchases YOU make will go against that gift card.
If your daughter redeems a gift card, any purchases she makes will go against that gift card.
-> How iTunes Store purchases are billed - Apple Support
"How are Family Sharing purchases billed?
When you initiate a new purchase, it will be billed directly to the family organizer's account, unless you have gift or store credit. First, your store credit will be used to pay the partial or total bill. The remainder will bill to the family organizer. iTunes Store credit on your account isn't shared with other family members. So if the family organizer has a $50 credit on their account and another family member initiates a purchase, it won't deduct from the organizer's iTunes Store credit, but will bill the organizer's credit or debit card."

Are people who are having prob with iTunes 8.2 & iPhone OS3.0 using Intego?

I am wondering whether people who are having problems with iTunes and iPhone are using Intego's Netbarrier? I couldn't download OS3.0 until I turned off Banner and eventually the whole thing. Is this the cause of my problems? My iPhone is no longer recognized by iTunes 8.2.

I want to withdraw this question as it unfairly associates many problems with this one company and application. The problems are not just related to this software. I apologize to Intego if this appeared accusatory.
I have since found answers to all of the questions posed for the iPhone 3.0 update. Only one was related to Intego and its firewall.
Thanks.

I synced my 3G with itunes for the first time and lost all contacts and information on phone, help?

I synced my 3G iphone with itunes for the first time, and lost everything on my phone. how do i get it back?

You don't.
You synced your iPhone with iTunes for the first time after how long?
And this didn't happen by syncing only. This means you transferred the backup for another iPhone or you restored the iPhone with iTunes. It is not possible for everything to be lost by syncing alone. All iTunes content on your iPhone can be lost but not any photos in the Camera Roll and the same for contacts unless you synced contacts with an empty address book application on your computer.

Help with iTunes "the song could not be used because original could not be found"

Please help!! I just recently got my pc laptop back from being worked on and the hard drive had to be replaced. Tonight I had to download iTunes and now all my purchased music (which in in the 1,000's) gives me a message when I try to play it,
"the song could not be used because the original file could not be found." I'm really frustrated since this music was purchased why can't I play it this is ridiculous! I've had numerous problems with iTunes before but I have to say this really is the worst. I realize these songs are still on my iPhone but I have really nice built in speakers and I like to listen to music while in my office right from my pc. Any advice would be helpful, I'm at my wits end. Please advise!!
