ITunes Screensaver Pink Covers.

Hey
When I add more rows in the iTunes screensaver most of the covers turn pink. But only when I add more rows. Is there a fix? or is it because I added more rows and it needs the resources?
Please any help?

hmm that is weird i just tried it again and when you do the test from system prefs it does have some singles and then alot in the rows as pinkish
when i did it by just waiting for the screensaver to come on, some of the individual pictures were pinkish but all in the rows were ok even if they came up as pink in the individual bit!
i may have missed them tho ;-]
but it does seem like this is a bit of a bug maybe they will fix in 10.5.2
thanks for pointing me in the direction of that screen saver tho ive had a mac for a while and never seen that option (duh) good for parties when you dont really want the psychedelia of the visualizer or the soberness of front row

ITunes has pink colouring

I know this has been discussed before and the solution settled on is don't put more than 5 rows, but has anyone found a solution to the pink film that appears after increasing the number of rows to greater than 6 with the iTunes screen saver?

The problem was fixed for me, and everyone else who has reported on the old threads, with the 10.5.2 update. I currently have it set for 6 rows and it is working perfectly.
Do you have a test account on your machine? If not create one in System Preferences/Accounts, then log into the test account. Does the iTunes Screensaver work in the test account? If not, you might try downloading the full 10.5.2 COMBO update (all 380 odd MBs) and run that.

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.

ITunes screensaver shows only a black screen

After a couple of power outages at home, itunes screensaver just shows a black screen.
Love this screensaver and the play option and really miss it.
Mac pro Lion 10.7.2
Any tips on repair options?

Go to settings, then safari, then go to block cookies and then select third party. You should be able to see iTunes store again. Good luck.

ITunes Screensaver Broken after iTunes 11 update

After upgrading, the iTunes screensaver now only displays the most recently downloaded artwork (currently 1 album, 3 podcast backgrounds).
Anyone else experiencing this, or has in the past as it may just be coincidental with the update? And of course any solutions.

Mine won't even shut down, it hangs everything up, ignores the force feature and the only way i can reboot is to hold down the power button. I have come to the conclusion that my mac book was defective since day 1. I have given them 6 months to make it better and no go. So they are sending me a new one. Hopefully that should solve the problem. I started having problem right out of the box. They actually wanted me to allow some randon apple guy in shreveport to replace a motherboard on a mac book pro less that a week old. I said no, you have six months to figure this out or send me a new one. They six was up yesterday and my new one should be in the mail shortly. Apple's tech support is top notch.

ITunes screensaver

I set my itunes screensaver setting to 0 sec...since then, I can't change it. Everytime I try, it quit by itself.
Is there a way to reinstall it instead of reinstall my OS?
Thanx

This issue is often caused by a plist file which is corrupt or contains an invalid setting. To fix this issue, create a new folder on the desktop and then choose Go to Folder from the Finder's Go menu. Enter ~/Library/Preferences/ByHost/ as the folder's path and drag everything with a name containing com.apple.screensaver to the folder on the desktop. If the issue persists, return to the ByHost folder, press the Command and Up keys simultaneously, and then move the file named com.apple.desktop.plist to the folder you created earlier. If everything works properly with both files in the folder you created, it is safe to throw it away.

Does anyone have a sticky iPhone since upgrading to ios8? Scrolling is rough in iTunes (horizontal album covers) and on the iPad it's much worse with photo and video albums! iPhone5s and iPad3 retina displays.

Lots and lots of questions
The new Photos app in OS X should address much of this - it greatly simplifies syncing stuff across machines. Apple has details on it up here:
https://www.apple.com/osx/photos-preview/
It says "coming this spring" and a pre-release version has already been made available to developer testers.

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.

Hello any one know how i can change my iTunes Screensaver ? Because i got podcast at my iTunes ScreenSaver and i wanna my Music there :p.

Hello im using the Itunes Screensaver but there is podcast there ,
Does is possible to change that soo i can My Itunes Music Instead my Itunes Podcast : )?
If Yes How?

I have too many songs to fit all on my iPod (18,000+ and counting) and I also have a wife who listens to TOTALLY different music than I do. She's also not so good on the computer.
***MAKE SURE YOU ALWAYS BACK UP THE iTUNES LIBRARY AND iTUNES MUSIC LIBRARY.XML IN YOUR HOME FOLDER!!!!!!!!***
To get around this I have two iTunes Libraries and two ITunes Music folders. I keep my main Library seperate (on an external drive) and my wife's in the default iTunes folder. I then shut down iTunes, replace the Library and Library.xml (always keeping a current copy of each backed up elsewhere) and then re-start iTunes and re-focus (in options) the iTunes music folder location.
When I go back to MY music it can take quite a few minutes as iTunes needs to update the folder when you change it but this does do the trick.
Give it a shot; let me know if you need more details.

ITunes Screensaver with building

In the WWDC of Leopard, one of the features shown with CoreAnimation was the iTunes screensaver using the album art that made the buildings that you could zoom around, etc. Does anyone know how to do this?
Here's an image of the artwork in the demo:

Thanks!

It was just a demo shown by Apple. It doesn't exist in the OS. Sorry to disappoint you.

ITunes screensaver broken

A couple of weeks ago, my iTunes screensaver broke. It says my iTunes doesn't have any cover art. (But I do.)
Mac OS X 10.7.2. My iTunes library is on an external USB drive. It otherwise functions normally. I can play anything from the library, see cover art, etc. But when the OS X iTunes screensaver starts, it's just black with the message that my iTunes library has no cover art. I have tried restarting iTunes, restarting the computer, quitting iTunes and relaunching it while holding down the option key (to designate a different library), then quitting and relaunching it and re-pointing at my real library. I've also tried selecting a completely different screensaver then reselecting the iTunes Artwork screensaver. I've also repaired permissions. Nothing has fixed it.
Any suggestions?

Hi - I have the same issue where a number of apps keep asking to accept incoming connections even though they are already listed in the access list of the Firewall. I have tried all suggestion I found in various discussion forums: verify disk, check permissions, clear access list in firewall, delete ~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.NetworkUtility.plist, remove duplicates from keychain.
But nothing seems to cure the problem. I also found somewhere that the issue could be that the app bundle is changed because an app may write temp files or configs into its bundle.
There are 2 apps I use most and these keep asking over and over again, but today I noticed another level if bizarre behaviour.
I have SplashID iPhone Desktop which always asks to accept incoming connections whenever I launch it. I checked its bundle for any changes before, during, and after use but coulnd't see any files with changed modification dates/times. I even checked the bundle in a shell to look for any hidden files being created.
The other app is Safari and there I found a strange behaviour. It always asks me when I visit particular sites, e.g. www.thinkbroadband.com/speedtest.html. However, after removing Safari from the firewall access list I can visit the speedtest site without it asking. But when I quit Safari it appears in the access list with incoming connections allowed without me asking and when I start Safari again and go back to the speedtest site it now asks for permissions.
Any more ideas?
Cheers
Michael

ITunes Screensaver cannot find artwork

iMac 24", i5
Lion
all software updated
iTunes screensaver says the library does not contain any artwork.
In iTunes, I have 33,000 tracks, all with artwork (not one exception)
Architecturally, the setup is traditional, though the iTunes Media file is on a second drive.
The Album Artwork folder's Cache subfolder is 2.7 Gig and located in the traditional:
Users/name/Music/iTunes/ spot
This issue also existed under Snow Leopard and I could never find a way to resolve. I was hoping the shift to Lion, with it's new iTunes screensaver would resolve this.
Just so you know, I took the complete contents of the Users/name/Music/iTunes folder and put it on my laptop, replacing everything that was there. The iTunes screensaver still worked fine on my laptop, thus pointing to some issue still on my iMac that I embarrassingly can't decipher.
Any and all suggestions welcomed, as the updated screensaver is now extra cool and would love to get it working.

I have just purchased a new Imac running 10.8 mountain lion, after loading new songs into itunes I too had no screen saver working showing the art work.
This had nothing to do with voice memos, no other items were connected so have tried this method and it works twice on both computers, the other is running leopard.
If all your music is on the main hard drive, check in finder and your itunes folders should be in music, all I did was make a new folder and call it music 2, make sure its under music on the left hand side, drag the itunes music folder containing only the music into this. From this go to itunes in applications delete itunes into trash, restart computer then download the latest version. When all opened up you should get a home page showing get music from icloud or scan for media, press scan and let the new version find it on your computer, when finished go to screen saver settings and notice the itunes screen saver working.
I don't know why this works either its a software fault with apple or just my luck, but I have had no problems since and looks greats on the screen.

ITunes screensaver: Disable the play album feature?

In Lion, the iTunes screensaver now plays any album you click but my habit is to click my trackpad or mouse to wake up my mac which inevitably launches iTunes in the background and of course hangs my system for several seconds before playing the music.
Is there any way to get back to the old screensaver where it woke immediately on mouse movement? Even just editing a .plist file would be a fine solution but I'm not familiar with the structure of the screensaver.
Any help is appreciated.
-Rob

Yes, I have the same problem. I love the screensaver but would like to stop the music launch.

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
MacBook Pro 17" 2,4 Ghz Mac OS X (10.4.10)

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.
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=304994
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.
