Is there a fix for iTunes Artwork screensaver finding ALL artwork

The iTunes screensaver is not finding all the artwork that iTunes has associated with albums. It's only finding cover art that I've manually inserted or paid for from the iTunes music store. I've ready a number of posts from the past month with people experiencing the same issue. Has anyone figured out a way to force the screensaver to look in the right place for all album artwork saved on the cpu? Or is this a lost cause?
Thanks

The issue here is that the iTunes Artwork screen saver only looks for artwork embedded in tracks and not in the new artwork database provided by iTunes 7. The only solution for this problem currently available is to embed the tracks with the downloaded iTunes 7 artwork.
There is an apple script that will do it for you here
http://www.dougscripts.com/itunes/scripts/scripts13.php?page=1#embedart
Simply select all tracks and run the script. It will figure out which files need embedded artwork and leave the rest alone.
After doing that the screen saver will load all of your artwork.

  • Is there a fix for itunes match replacing my explicit lyrics?

    Is there a fix for the explicit lyrics probem yet?

    No. However you can turn off iTunes Match on the device, sync the explicit song, then re-enable iTM. Then your iOS device will play the correct version of the song.

  • Is there a fix for itunes 10.5 win xp and/or is there a way to convert my itunes library to 128/256k/bps (vbr)so songs are listenable?

    I don't know of any utilities that can repair audio files, just as there is no auto-picture repair utility. However, due to the structure of an aac file (and for iTunes they all come "wrapped" in an mp4 wrapper), it depends on where the damage is. Your aac file is actually comprised of around 60 'atoms' and only 1 of them ("mdat") is the audio. If the damage occurred in a non-mdat atom, you might be able to resurrect your m4a file.
    See if you can open these songs in Quicktime Player, and export then as AIFF, and then re-import them using iTunes. You can also direct copy the audio track with a more comprehensive tool called MP4Box (part of an opensource tool called "gpac"). You can get a mp4box binary in a tool called ffmpegx. You'll have to choose "show package contents" and use it Terminal.app's command line:
    /Supply/path/to/--->/ffmpegX.app/Contents/Resources/MP4Box -add ~/Desktop/Closer.m4a#audio -new ~/Desktop/try.m4a
    (substitute the ~/Desktop paths with your files; note: you depending on your files, the '#audio' might need to be replaced with '#TrackID=1' or appropriate number).
    I would advise you to try the mp4box way first (to minimize audio loss with multiple conversions) and listen to each song, checking each. If it fails, then I would try the Quicktime way. If that fails, I would go back to the source material. Whether you use Quicktime or mp4box, you'll loose the metadata. You'll need to re-do that.
    and I agree with dwb that iTunes didn't cause it. I would save things to cdr/dvdr before your data loss gets larger.

  • Is there a fix for iTunes not running under Windows 8.1 Operating System?

    I used iTunes for Windows, on my Dell Tower PC, successfully under Windows 7 to import CD tracks and share them with my iPad and iPhone using iTunes Match but since I upgraded my operating system to Windows 8 and then 8.1, iTunes for Windows will not run, despite my downloading the latest versions as they become available; I receive no error message!

    For general advice see Troubleshooting issues with iTunes for Windows updates.
    The steps in the second box are a guide to removing everything related to iTunes and then rebuilding it which is often a good starting point unless the symptoms indicate a more specific approach. Review the other boxes and the list of support documents further down the page in case one of them applies.
    Your library should be unaffected by these steps but there is backup and recovery advice elsewhere in the user tip.

  • TS5376 is there a fix for iTunes 11.1.4 for Windows installation problem?

    I tried the fix in "TS5376: iTunes 11.1.4 for Windows: Unable to install or open" but problem remains. We have the same issue on my dauther's PC (Windows 7 also). iTunes can't open and configure correctly.

    Hey MichelHebert,
    When you uninstalled and reinstalled iTunes, did you follow these steps below? This section contains information that might help your situation, as the order and manner which you uninstall has an effect on the outcome:
    Use the Control Panel to uninstall iTunes and related software components in the following order and then restart your computer:
    iTunes
    Apple Software Update
    Apple Mobile Device Support
    Bonjour
    Apple Application Support (iTunes 9 or later)
    Important: Uninstalling these components in a different order, or only uninstalling some of these components may have unintended affects.
    from: Step 1 of Removing and reinstalling iTunes and other software components for Windows Vista, Windows 7, or Windows 8

    Let us know if uninstalling those components in that order helped the situation.
    Take care,

  • Is there a fix for "iTunes could not connect..."

    On my work PC (XP), I often get the message "iTunes could not connect to the iTunes Store". It usually happens on my first attempts to access the store in the morning. It's also seems to be random but mostly occurs on my first attempts to access the store for that day. I click on various playlist, "Podcast", "Movies" and back to store. I can usually get it working that way. Any ideas what causes this?

    I'm getting the same thing all day. Usually after the first load I close itunes then load it again and it works, but today, since the update I haven't been able to access the store or download any of my podcasts, this is a real pain since I just got a $25 gift card in the mail 8(

    Why would there be a fix?  YOU are having the problem.  I'm not, no one I know is having the problem.  No fix is needed.
    Basic troubleshooting steps clearly outlined in the User Guide are restart, reset, restore from backup, restore as new.  Have you been through any, if not all of these troubleshooting steps yet?

    After upgrading my iphone 5 to IOS 7, the iTunes Store won't open. Is there a fix for this?

    I had the same thing yesterday. After google gave me nothing and after I was sure my phone had enough charge to restart, I did a reset on my phone...
    Holding down the Power button, volume button and selector button on the front - for about 30 secs (or untill I knew the beeping had stopped).
    I cant remember if I then restarted it or it it restarted itself, but now its back to normal! No memory loss from the phone either.
    Freeked me out as its a new iphone 4s but glad to have it back! Without having to take it to get fixed by a pro.
    Hope that helps

  • With Windows 7 Home Premium, whenever I start iTunes, I get a message that colors have been reverted to Windows Basic because iTunes won't support my Windows Aero configuration.  Is there a fix for the incompatibility?

    With Windows 7 Home Premium, whenever I start iTunes, I get a message that colors have been reverted to Windows Basic because iTunes won't support my Windows Aero configuration.  Is there a fix for the incompatibility?  I don't mind the color changes, but I'm having an external speaker problem that could be related to the incompatibility (at random times--usually several hours after start-up, my external speakers--connected via my Samsung Central Station's wireless docking station and computer-installed dongle--shut off and won't play until I restart.  I've investigated other options, but iTunes may be the problem.)  Thanks.

    Perhaps let's first try updating your Apple Software Update.
    Launch Apple Software Update ("Start > All Programs > Apple Software Update"). Does it launch and offer you a newer version of Apple Software Update? If so, choose to install just that update to Apple Software Update. (Deselect any other software offered at the same time.)
    If the ASU update goes through okay, try another iTunes install. Does it go through without the errors this time?

  • Is there a fix for the iTunes push notification problem with Dropbox on iPhone ios 7.0.4

    After updating to IOS 7.0.4 iPhone (which I now regret), when I open the Dropbox App, I get a warning "Connect to iTunes to use Push Notifications". When I push OK, it pops up again, constantly, so I can't even close Dropbox. Is there a fix for this? I've uninstalled and re-instaled Dropbox and checked for updates, but nothing helps. Any ideas?

    Hello CraigNicholson
    You would need to sync with iTunes to get that process to work for you. Check out the article below for more information on how to resolve that issue to get the proper token to use Push Notifications again.

    Click here and follow the instructions. You may need to completely remove and reinstall iTunes and all related components, or run the process multiple times; this won't normally affect its library, but that should be backed up anyway.
