ITunes 8 Visualizer Issue

Whenever i use the New Visualizer on iTunes 8, it moves very laggy, and skips alot, unless i move my mouse around....as long as it's moving it's smooth and looks awesome. This occurs if i'm in regular or fullscreen mode. Any Idea's?
P.S. I have a wireless mouse/keyboard, if that help, and yes i have updated drivers for mouse, keyboard, moniter and vid card.

I have the same problem. The visualizer hangs on the same pattern/color, which makes it even more boring than having no visualizer.
I too suspect some "foul play" to get people to use the new orb and spike visualizer.

Problems using iTunes Visualizer

Previously iTunes Visualizer worked correctly.
Now it will not launch.
Any ideas why?

My graphic card is set to 1080p and download the 64bit version of Itune 8. The visualizer works in Itune screen but would not start on the full screen mode. I have another instance installed on my XP, it is working fine with full screen mode. Not sure if that is the same issue you are having. Anyone can help???

Screen Scrambles when Itunes Visualizer is turned on Full Screen

I have been having a laundry list of problems with the new imac. One bug I noticed yesterday was that if I am listening to music in itunes, turn on the visualizer and then set it to full screen, everything scrambles on the monitor. I was using my airport express to listen to the music, but I don't know if that has anything to do with the issue. Has anyone else has experienced this bug or is it just my imac. Please let me know.

I assume by scramble you mean that the files on the desktop get moved to a new location on the desktop. The full screen iTunes visualizer runs at a smaller resolution than what you usually run it at. One consequence of this is that everything on the desktop has to be moved so that it fits within the bounds of the screen.

Where is the iTunes visualizer?

So where is the iTunes visualizer? Dont tell me the installer people making fixes are going to also come out with this before Apple?

Welcome to the forums.
There are lots of different forums here and sometimes it's confusing, but this is the forum for the iPhone (and issues with any music and video *on it*).
You should post your question in the iTunes forum. Here's the main forum (just pick a subforum to post):

ITunes visualizer problems...

Whenever I try and run iTunes visualizer on a secondary monitor, my entire computer lags extremely badly, as in the mouse no longer moves smoothly, however if I simply drag it over to my primary monitor I receive no issues. I have tried disabling directX and that did not change anything. Its not a refresh rate issue or something along those lines because I can watch full screen video in a variety of different media players on it and not receive any lag. I receive the same problem if I try and watch a video from my iTunes movies library on my second monitor (not on the primary), but its nowhere near as bad, it only is annoying watching video, not unusable like it is with the visualizer.
I have a Radeon X550 if its a problem with the video card.

if I switch which monitor is primary, it works on the second monitor(the one that used to be secondary), yet it still messes up on the secondary(the one that used to be primary)

ITunes visualizer gone "jerky"

Hi folks,
I've had my new Mac pro ((stock 2.8/ati 2600) for three weeks now and all is well.
However recently my itunes visualizer graphics have gone noticeably jerky compared to what they were initially.
It still shows the same frame rates but is definately less smooth, particularly when playing inside the window.
I have installed 10.5.2 and the graphics update but i'm not sure if it's all linked?
I have never (touch wood) experienced the graphic issues that people are reporting.

I'm going to take a stab at this. First I ask you two questions. Question one do you use windows on your mac also? Second question if you answered yes to the first one. Did you update your drivers for your video card in windows off the ati website instead of using the boot camp drivers that came with your mac? I did this to myself and when I loaded up OSX it seemed to have some graphic chug to it. So I reinstalled the boot camp drivers the problem was solved. If you answered no it might be poor ATI drivers. They never have been really good on the software side of graphics. I dont know why, but thats why I use Nvidia never had any problems and they run cooler.

Visualizer Issues

I recently installed G-Force Visualizer Platinum version 3.1.2 to work with iTunes. I have a dual screen setup and before I installed this program I was able to put the iTunes visualizer into full screen and still use the other screen normally. Now when I Show Visualizer, it automatically goes to full screen, even if the window is not maximized, and turns my second screen to black. Additionally G-Force no longer loads with iTunes.
This setup works perfectly in Windows Media Player and I would hate to have to use that.

Only thing I can think of is with the fullscreening of iTunes. If you change the itunes>preferences>general(mac) edit>preferences>advanced (Windoze) in your visualiser settings so that start visualiser full screen is unchecked then apply. Check that it has worked by using apple+T (ctrl + T in Windoze).

My new iPod Classic will not sync with my new Mac Book. My iPhone 5 does, so does 2nd gen. iPod touch. Apple Store cannot figure it out. Tried different Classics on different Macs, same thing. iTunes update issue ?

The iPod Classic I bought a month ago is not synching with my new Mac Book I bought 3 weeks ago. All the software was immediately updated. My iPhone 5 synchs fine, and so does my 2nd generaton iPod Touch. The original computer I synched all of these devices on was my HP latop. I bought my Mac and Classic to the Apple Store for a 'Genius Appt' and they could not figure out what the problem is. The connected my Classic to another computer and the same thing happens. It says device is not recognized. They also took other iPod Classics and connected them to my Mac and other Macs. The same thing was happening. They took notes and said it probably is an iTunes update issue.
I can manually drag songs into my Classic but I lost all playlists because it cannot be backed up as well and they had to restore it. For now I am holding on to it but it's usless to me if I cannot use it the way I liked too. I used it for the gym and bike riding and my last iPod battery died after 6 years. A charge would last 45 miutes. I love the Classic for what I use it for but it's a $275 brick to me now. At least the renewed by receipt so I can get a full refund.
Is anyone else seeing this issue ? The Apple Store employee said he saw a first generation iPad havng the same issue. As of now the Support Dest is unaware of this. As much as I love my new Mac I am disappointed I cannot sync my new Classic to it. Total bummer.
Any help would be apprecated.

By the way, I totally restored everything. It was ok. It starts to 'unrecognize' my iPod Classic when it comes to synching with iPhoto. After this happened all the menus disappeared from my iPod (music, Podcasts, movies synched fine). It seems to be a problem when synching with iPhoto. It was the same thing before.

When is Apple going to fix this iTunes update issue? I can't open or re install my iTunes.

Is there anything they are going to do so I can add more music to my iPod? Let alone access my iTunes library.

Can I use captured footage of the itunes visualizer in videos?

I know someone already asked about still images captured from the visualizer but I've been screencapturing the performance of the Itunes visualizer playing along to some of my bands music, obviously it pulses itself to whatever music is being played, and I also sort of choreograph sequences by enabling and disabling the freeze and camera lock, and using mode changes. I then take the footage and often mirror image the video sort of like a Rorshact Test and sometimes layer that with a kaleidoscope effect or other random video images and effects I've created and or recorded and I sync that to my bands music.
So I would like to use this stuff as sort of videos and background for our music and posting it to Youtube, I really just intend it as something to play along with the music that may or may not be interesting to watch, I'm not interested in passing this off as like my sole artistic creation. Of course I have no problem stating that I used the Itunes Visualizer to generate graphics and source material for these intended videos but is that enough? I have seen other people posting videos that contain images and sequences of the visualizer in various other contexts like tutorials and the like on Youtube, also Im not exactly making nor do I expect to make any kind of money off this, its mostly just for me and my friends, still I dont want to infringe/plagiarize anything but I'm curious where that all stands. Who exactly would I credit, Apple the entity or the actual, specific programmers of the visualizer, what about the specific algorhythms? How would I go about asking for a release?
I've tried looking all over the place for similar questions, the one with still images was the closest but not specific enough, so I hope I'm not double posting or anything.
I of course appreciate any advice on this but I'd really appreciate as specific an answer as possible. If it's a no-no from jumpstreet I'd rather know now, these things get kinda of tricky with art and copyright, again I'm not interested in claiming I solely created these images, but if I could credit someone and be allowed to use them and manipulate them how would one go about that?
thanks for any advice and help,
D

But then what? I am in the same situation, and have both the original iPhone and original sim card, and that is it. I am not the original iPhone owner (that was a family member who now has a new iPhone), and I do not have a new iPhone or a new iPhone sim card. How do you convert it to an iPod Touch with ONLY the old sim card (reboot does NOT work).

Apple TV and iTunes Visualizer

Is there a way to turn the iTunes Visualizer on Apple TV?

No.
AppleTV isn't that powerful a machine.
Although it may be able to do some kind of visualisation it may not be up to the quality of iTunes while doing other background tasks.
lots of people would like one, and why not if you can have photo screensavers.

ITunes Visualizer on External Display Blacks Out Main Display

Is it possible to have the iTunes Visualizer full screen on an external display while keeping the main display active?
In other words, I'd like to have my 2nd monitor display the iTunes Visualizer in full screen while I do work on my main screen. Every time I try this it forces the main screen to go black.
Does anyone have a solution, or is this just the limitations of iTunes and/or the Mac?
(By the way, the closest I've come is to put the iTunes window on the 2nd display, start the visualizer, and make its window as large as it will go. But, you still see the top of the iTunes chrome above and below the visualizer.)

I realise this is an old post, but have not yet seen an explanation of how I have solved this problem.
Its not a complete solution as it only works if you want to use iTunes, and does require an iPad or an iPhone.
First configure the Apple remote App on your iPhone, or iPad, or both iPad is best, but iPhone works almost as well.
Check that you can control the music from your i'Device'
Drag the iTunes window onto the external screen/projector. I am assuming external monitor with a different screen geometry to main screen, but if you can handle some gaps, you can mirror displays just as well.
Turn on the Visualiser - and put it into full screen.
If you can't see the external screen the following short cuts are useful.
⌘T - turn on Visualizer
^⌘F - turn on Full Screen
Your main screen will blank out, but you will still have full control of your music from the Remote App.
Very cool if you are having a party, and want the visualiser on the large LCD TV, or on a projector.
