  • Apple TV: Music Visualizer (Like iTunes) or Alternative Screen Saver?

    Hello, I am wondering if there is any way to get a "Visualizer" for my Apple TV, like iTunes has that is basically a screen saver that wavers with the pitch and beat of the music. Similar to those on Windows Media Player, xBox 360, PS3, etc... Or is there at least a way to get/buy an alternative "Screen Saver" besides the floating pictures?
    If not, that is a serious design flaw that someone should have thought about before release. I mean, come on, a unit that is designed to be hooked up to your TV and play music? You need to have something visual and floating pictures are not only boring but borderline annoying. I have to believe it is an easy fix with a software update; I mean, everyone else has managed to incorporate one into their products as I mentioned above and **** iTunes even has its own Visualizer, and in my humble opinion, rivals only windows media player in top quality. There has to be a way to at least stream it like AirTunes streams the music iTunes is playing to the Apple TV that plays it out the speakers it is hooked up to; with G protocol you could easily add a video stream that would stream the iTunes visualizer to the Apple TV and display it on the TV.
    Anyway, just thoughts, if anyone cares, not really upset with the product, in fact, I love it so much I'm thinking of proposing to it soon (it has no idea). I just REALLY wish I could throw up a sick Visualizer on my Samsung 60" 240hz LED TV to go along with my music...SOS! Help!
    Thank you.

    no - the "visualiser" is not an option on the appletv.
    you only have the screensaver options.

  • ITunes album art screen saver problem

    Hi, recently when I use my iTunes album art work as a screen saver the albums have a purple tint to them. It hasn't always been like that so if anyone could help it would be greatly appreciated.

    Just thought I'd let you know that you're not alone. I've tried everything i could think of to fix this problem. The only thing that worked was re-installing the os
    and not messing with the settings. But that's not really an option. I only found that out because i got a little delete happy while screwing with my mac.

    Hello howwow,
    In iTunes, select the song. Get info (command+I), click on the Artwork Tab at the top. You can drag the image from there to the desktop. Double click it to open it in the Finder, copy the image- just press command+c.
    Open Preview, type command+n, this will create a New From Clipboard image of your artwork. Save it as a Jpeg or Pict. Repeat with each song you want and create the folder for your screen saver.

  • ITunes album artwork screen saver possible with external library?

    I just moved my iTunes library to an external drive to free up space on my MacBook, and I was wondering if there's a way to still use the album artwork screen saver when the external drive is not connected? I still have my artwork folder on my internal drive but when it is not connected, it says, "Your iTunes Library does not contain any songs with artwork." Is there a place where the screen saver info is saved? or does it only work with the library itself?

    hi,
    it will only work when your library could be available.
    beside, if I may suggest, it is more reliable to place your library files on your external drive along with your songs than keeping the library files on the internal drive. that way, you will avoid the issue to mistakenly open your library while your external drive isn't mounted.

  • ITunes crashes when screen saver comes on

    Hello. When my screensaver comes on, iTunes stops playing. When I wake my computer from the screensaver, there is a window on my computer saying that iTunes has encountered a problem and needs to close. I'm forced to shut iTunes down.
    Anyone encountered this, and have a solution??
    Please help! Thanks!
    My specs:
    Windows Vista RC2
    iTunes 7.0.2.16

    If I read it right, the advice there is to turn off the screen saver and turn it back on all the time. Not terribly helpful.
    I am having this same problem, it started when I downloaded/upgraded iTunes 7.0.2.16, before that it was no problem.
    I have also had intermittent problems with iTunes playing one some in a playliest twice (repeat is not clicked, it will play a couple of sonds then repeat one then play a few more then repeat one) and once it played the same sone twice at the same time, about 10 seconds out of sync, which was very odd.
    Is this a bug in the new version, or does anybody know a fix? Help is appreciated!

  • Is "connect to itunes" my new screen saver or something?

    My IPhone 5c was on the charger when I looked at my setting to check out my new update notification. I guess the update has me feeling like an old lady who doesn't understand too much about phones because the only thing I see is one of the three things my screen is displaying; 1. "connect to iTunes" 2. The "apple" and the best one would have to be 3. that black mirror thing that you always lock your phone to check yourself out with. So after trying to restart my phone by pressing both the lock and home button, it turned off, showed me that apple, and then the "connect to iTunes". Take two was pressing just the lock button; nothing. Third lucks charm was pretty disappointing after I finally dug out the old Acer and plugged my stubborn phone into iTunes to see that I had to restore my phone to factory settings because I have unsaved pictures of my cousin who recently died from leukemia. I finally figured that it was my best shot so I pressed the restore iPhone box and after 5 long hours and 5 arduous tries to just get my phone to turn on out of desperation, it still just wants to be plugged into iTunes. Even when it's plugged in! I'm only 15, and I truly feel as if I'm trying to get a baby to stop crying. Yes, it does help trying to make silly faces at it but that's only because I'm seeing myself and I do really need my phone. No, not only because I go on twitter to see the latest complaints but I have a job at a horse farm, and I can be needed at any moment. Soccer also starts tonight, and I everybody probably thinks I'm ignoring them or something. Please help me get this phone to work again!

    Plave the iPod in Recovery mode and then connect to your computer and restore via iTunes.

  • ITunes Artwork as screen saver

    Crashes.

    Hi Kevin,
    I believe that it has to be hacked in terminal
    i do not know how to do this. Your system might be using too much processing power, thus the crash.
    good luck with it.

    maybe look around in the Unix area of Discussions.

  • Can I stop a screen saver kicking in while listening to iTunes 11?

    Hi,
    Since updating to iTunes 11 my screen saver kicks in after a period of time (default setting). This is so annoying because before I updated, I used to have iTunes 10 running in full screen cover flow mode and this temporarily disabled my screen saver from starting while it was running in this mode.
    Is there any way I can run iTunes 11 in the same way without having to mess around with my screen saver settings?
    Why Apple decided to remove the cover flow feature in iTunes 11 is beyond comprehension and hope they reinstate it again soon.
    Thanks in advance for any help you guys can give.

  • ITunes 10 Album Artwork Not Showing Up In Screen Saver

    After installing iTunes 10, my screen saver settings (which used to pull from my iTunes Album Artwork) are no longer working. The screen saver option now says "Your iTunes Library does not contain any songs with artwork" yet it does. The screen saver option is no longer finding it. Any thoughts would be helpful. Thank you.

    I have exactly the same.
    Screensaver settings says: "Your iTunes library does not contain any songs with artwork" which is simply lie! ;-)
    almost all albums covers are there in my main library.
    newest iTunes 10.5.3 (3) 64-bit
    Lion with all add-ons
    not long ago I have joined iTunes Match.. unfortunately haven't checked if it works before for long time..
    I have: repaired permissions, removed com.apple.screensaver. iTunesArtwork* in ~Library/Preferences/ByHost/.
    Still nothing.
    I have found that ~/Music/iTunes/Album Artwork/ has 4 directories inside:
    Cache
    Cloud
    Download
    Local
    .. first 3 had random named dir (the same) with what seems to be artworks directories. Local was empty still copying there this random dir didn't help too..
    Any ideas please?

  • Album Artwork Screen saver and iTunes Match

    Since joining iTunes Match, my Album Artwork Screen saver can't find any art. How do I fix this?
    The artwork is evident within iTunes, but the screen saver is a black screen with a message saying that it can't find any album artwork.

  • How to hide the mouse / full screen iTunes visualizer

    How can I hide the mouse in iTunes, when having the iTunes visualizer full screen?

    what about

  • 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.

  • My macbook pro keeps terminating the screen saver app!! Help plz!

    basically what happened the first time it crashed is this. i went into the screensaver settings and switched to the itunes art work screen saver. then i opened up the setting button. i switch the number of rows to 2. as soon as i moved the slider down to 2 rows, it closed out of it and i got that "application quit unexpectedly" window.
    However now, when ever i open up the screen saver and desktop icon in system preferences, it opens up to the desktop tab, and then i go to the screen saver tab and it is still working, but then i click on itunes art work screen saver and it quits again. so i hit the reopen button on the error window and it takes me back to system preferences. i then click on desktop and screen saver icon and it once again crashes. do it again and it crashes again. then the third time it opens up ok, but whenever i go to itunes artwork, it crashes again and i have to go through the 2 crash cycle again.
    Please help me if you can. the only thing i did tonight was update my MBP firmware to 1.0.1 and downloaded an aqua teen screen saver which i didn't even install cause it didn''t look like something that i could run. I just deleted.
    please help if you know anything about this kind of problem.

    Ok i managed to figure out a way to keep it from crashing all of the time. i go into User/Library/Preferences/ByHost and delete com.apple.screensaver.itunes.xxxxxxxxxxxx.plist. this help me so that i am able to open up the screensaver window and even select itunes artwork from the list of screen savers. this works fine because it seems to restore the default setting for this screen saver. But if i open the options screen and try to set it to 2 rows, then it will go right back to crashing again.
    Can somebody please help me out with this 2 row problem? i'd greatly appreciate it.
