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.

ITunes Visualizer fullscreen problem

Recently i was messing around with my itunes visualizer when it suddenly went into full screen mode. I havent been able to switch it back to the normal mode and found no help in the 'help' bar. Does anybody have any knowledge of what to do in this situation? thanks

I ended up contacting AppleCare through the Chat agent and after a few misses, he instructed me to do an archive and install and presto - the problem is gone. I guess I had a corrupted installation from the factory.....

Backed up my songs from itunes onto a hard drive and now my playlists in itunes are gone! How do I retrieve them back to the way it was before?

Help! My husband backed up my songs from itunes onto a hard drive and now my playlists in itunes are gone from my library! How do I retrieve them back to the way it was before?

Hello Nataroo007,
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities!
There is a file in the iTunes library folder that contains your playlist information is the iTunes Library.xml file.
Try and find the file, usually located in one of these locations depending on your OS:
Operating System
Default location of iTunes Folder
Mac OS X
/Users/[your username]/Music
Microsoft Windows XP
\Documents and Settings\[your username]\My Documents\My Music\
Microsoft Windows Vista
\Users\[your username]\Music\
Microsoft Windows 7
\Users\[your username]\My Music\
Then you can import this file to your iTunes Library like this:
1. Choose File > Library > Import Playlist.
2. Navigate to the "iTunes Library.xml" file
3. Windows users: Click Open.
If your Podcasts list in iTunes is empty after following these steps, learn how to add them back into iTunes.

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).

My computer crashed and all of my songs on itunes are gone !!!

also i was wondering if there is any way that when i plug in my ipod that it wont automatically update because i am afraid that when i plug it in that all of my songs will be erased..
if there is anyway that you can possibly help me PLEASE DO IT !! because i am in desperate kneed for some help and i want my somgs back soo baddly!!
THANK YOU !!

go don't connect your ipod until you go into itunes
and make sure to set it up to where it won't
automatically sync up the ipod with your itunes
library, as it WILL delete your music
if you want to transfer that music back onto your
system, go to google, do a search for "need to
transfer music from my ipod to my computer"
but how do i go into itunes and set it to where it wont automatically sync my ipod eith my library

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.
Send an enhancement request here, you never know...

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 iMac (2007) keeps shutting off when in Full Screen mode (DVD, iTunes Visualizer, etc.) This only happens when I have an external monitor hooked up HDMI.

Try using another connection such as VGA or DVI to see if the problem repeats itself.

Itunes visualizer on music playback with apple tv

Do any of you clever people out there know if it's possible to have the itunes visualizer playing on the TV instead of a photo slide show? I can get it working if I wired the TV directly to my macbook pro but not when I link it through the apple tv. Fantastic bit of kit apart from that.

Frankly I find it quite astounding this isn't possible..? Right now I'm using Air Parrot to stream my audio en video of my Mac to the Apple tv. It works ok, but this isn't what I expect from Apple.
I want to be able to do this out of the box.
Music visualization is very inspirational, it should be part of Apple. Next to that I think there's tons of people who would buy an Apple TV just for this one option. Talking about finding your niches. You could convince a very enthusiastic group of people with just this feature.
Mountain Lion will also feature this kind of mirroring possibility, so that would make it a lettle better. But still, it wouldn't benefit someone streaming from theor iPhone, iPad, iPod or listening to a radio stream.
I'd like a feature where I can choose to activate visualizations whenever I want and use different, community created visualizations, just like I can in iTunes.
Apple please fix this?!

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???
