ITunes Screensaver Error

Hi all,
i'm having some troubles using the iTunes screensaver.
Every time i go to System Preferences and i try to set iTunes Artwors as the screensaver, System Preferences crash.
I've updated osx and itunes but the problem persist.
Thank you all and sorry for my bad english :P

I've been having the same problem with my macbook pro. If I remember correctly, it also started crashing when I changed it to display two rows. After having system preferences crash multiple times, one time it finally didn't crash and I was able to set the itunes artwork as my screensaver. However, when I reopened system preferences again, I found that my screensaver was reverted to my previous one.
EDIT: I just found a fix.

To fix the problem, trash the plist file that corresponds to the itunes artwork setting. To avoid the problem altogether, just don't use the 2 row setting.

  • 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?

    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.

  • Why my itunes screensaver says that I don´t have lustration in my library???

    when I bought my subscription to iTunes match, my iTunes screensaver started fails.
    It says that I have no pictures in my iTunes library.
    I have 438 albums with illustrations.
    How I can fix it?

    Hello ekbowers,
    It sounds like you have installed the 64 bit version of iTunes, but you continue to the get an error message that suggests to download the 64 bit version any time you connect your iPhone 5.  I understand that you have already uninstalled and reinstalled iTunes, but sometimes you may need to uninstall additional components related to iTunes to completely remove it from your system. 
    I recommend following the steps in this article to completely uninstall iTunes:
    Removing and reinstalling iTunes, QuickTime, and other software components for Windows Vista or Windows 7
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1923
    Once you have completely uninstalled iTunes, you can download the 65 bit version of iTunes for Windows here:
    iTunes 11.0.4 for Windows 64

    Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.

    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 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.

  • ITunes Installation Error Message?

    I recently had to install an update for iTunes. After the update was installed, I was promted by an error message that "iTunes was not installed correctly", and that I needed to reinstall iTunes. Once I completed the process of uninstalling iTunes, I began to reinstall iTunes. After the reinstallation process, I was then prompted by another error message that had said, "iTunes was not installed correctly. Please reinstall iTunes. Error 7 (Windows error 126)." I have continued to receive this error prompt every time that I have attempted to reinstall iTunes. I have even followed troublshooting procedures on this Apple Support page: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1926  and still have not had any luck. Is there anyone that can help me with this please?

    Hello there, John.
    The following Knowledge Base article addresses the very issue you're describing:
    iTunes 11.1.4 for Windows: Unable to install or open
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS5376
    Check for .dll files
    Go to C:\Program Files (x86)\iTunes and C:\Program Files\iTunes and look for .dll files.
    If you find QTMovie.DLL, or any other .dll files, move them to the desktop.
    Reboot your computer.
    Note: Depending on your operating system, you may only have one of the listed paths.
    Uninstall and reinstall iTunes
    Uninstall iTunes and all of its related components.
    Reboot your computer. If you can't uninstall a piece of Apple software, try using the Microsoft Program Install and Uninstall Utility.
    Re-download and reinstall iTunes 11.1.4.
    Thanks for reaching out to Apple Support Communities.
    Cheers,
    Pedro.

  • Service 'Apple Mobile Device' (Apple Mobile Device) failed to start.  Verify that you have sufficient privileges to start system services. and 'iTunes was not installed correctly. Please reinstall iTunes. Error 7 (Windows error 193)

    Hi!
    So i think i closed the wrong service at some point a few weeks back (apple mobile device) but iTunes remained working after that for another week. I then updated iTunes and i get the same  "Service ‘Apple Mobile Device’ (Apple Mobile Device) failed to start.  Verify that you have sufficient privileges to start system services." every time. If i click ignore, just so i can access iTunes with out syncing my iPod (touch 2nd gen) i then get 'iTunes was not installed correctly. Please re-install iTunes. Error 7 (Windows error 193)" when it has all installed. I don't understand what the problem is anymore as I have looked at other questions on the apple website, carried out the advice and it hasn't work. Any of them.
    Tings I have done:
    - Wiped all iTunes and Apple data from my computer (if you search for 'iTunes' or 'Apple' nothing comes up apart from applets from system code.
    - Attached iPod before iTunes install and updated drivers.
    - Installed iTunes as 'Run as administrator'
    - Uninstalled and re-installed the software nearly 20 times now and rebooted the computer in between everytime.
    Please someone help because i really need to get music on my ipod and i enjoy the ease of use of iTunes compared to spotify or Windows Media Player.

    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.
    The further information area has direct links to the current and recent builds in case you have problems downloading, need to revert to an older version or want to try the iTunes for Windows (64-bit - for older video cards) release as a workaround for performance issues or compatibility with QuickTime or third party software.
    Your library should be unaffected by these steps but there are also links to backup and recovery advice should it be needed.
    Regarding AMDS failures there is a hint in another thread that disabling the Windows Firewall before attempting to reinstall may help, otherwise take a look at the steps outlined in this post. Re: Can't install iTunes 12.1 on Windows 7 64-bit. I know they look a little daunting, but the process of generating the logs themselves isn't that hard to do. Extracting useful information from them is still a challenge but maybe something will leap out. If you want to post the log for the failed components for me to have a look at here or in the other thread please edit out any personal information, particularly your email address, first.

  • I am trying to install itunes on my pc again but keep getting an error that says'apple application support was not found. try reinstalling itunes.' error 2

    I am trying to install itunes on my pc again but keep getting an error that says'apple application support was not found. try reinstalling itunes.' error 2.
    We have had itunes on this pc for 2 years and recently it wouldn't open and another error message kept popping up saying it couldn't open because MSVCR80.dll was missing. I have unistalled the apple programs and tried reinstalling several times but to no avail. Hopefully my music library is not gone. Any Ideas out there?

    With the Error 2, let's try a standalone Apple Application Support install. It still might not install, but fingers crossed any error messages will give us a better idea of the underlying cause of the issue.
    Download and save a copy of the iTunesSetup.exe (or iTunes64setup.exe) installer file to your hard drive:
    http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
    Download and install the free trial version of WinRAR:
    http://www.rarlab.com/
    Right-click the iTunesSetup.exe (or iTunes64Setup.exe), and select "Extract to iTunesSetup" (or "Extract to iTunes64Setup"). WinRAR will expand the contents of the file into a folder called "iTunesSetup" (or "iTunes64Setup").
    Go into the folder and doubleclick the AppleApplicationSupport.msi to do a standalone AAS install.
    Does it install properly for you?
    If instead you get an error message during the install, let us know what it says. (Precise text, please.)

  • Updating iTunes with error message "this application has failed to start because MSVCR80.dll was not found"?

    After updating iTunes, has anyone got the message "this application has failed to start because MSVCR80.dll was not found. Re-installing the application may fix this problem." message and "iTunes was not installed correctly. Please re-install iTunes. Error 7 (Windows error 126)"?  I've tried everything from un-installing and re-installing iTunes to deleting the SC Info. Any help would be greatly appreciated

    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.

  • IPhone 4 Fails to Start Sync Wifi, Smart Playlists Won't Sync Wifi or Wired, and Missing Artwork iTunes Screensaver

    Hi all,
    I recently deleted a few gigs worth of photos off my iPhone 4.  Ever since I've been having trouble with a few things.  All software is up to date.  So far here are the things I've noticed that seem suspicious.
    iPhone fails to start sync using wifi.  It times out on Step 1 (starting sync) or Step 2 (backup).  I've tried closing and reopening iTunes, restarting the MBP and iPhone, and deleting my iPhone backup.  In some cases iTunes loses the connection to phone and won't come back.  It syncs fine using a USB cable, but won't get past step 2 using wifi.  I hate wires so I would prefer to do this over the air.
    My smart playlists no longer sync.  I've tried unchecking the boxes and selecting them again, but nothing.  Duplicating an exisitng smart playlist and selecting it to sync seems to have worked for now, but I'm concerned about now being able to add my original playlist.  Sounds like a larger issue to me.
    My iTunes screensaver on my MBP no longer displays artwork.  It says there is no artwork to display, but iTunes still has artwork in it.
    I've read numerous threads about all these issues.  I know there are many people out there having these problems.  I just haven't found a good solution for any of them.  Everything was working beautifully until I tried to clean up some old stuff on my phone.  Apple is playing dumb according to the people that have contacted them. 
    I'm running:
    OSX Lion 10.7.4
    iTunes 10.6.3
    iOS 5.1.1
    Any help is greatly appreciated.
    Thanks!

    Just nudging this one back to the top in case anyone has some input.
