Need screen saver help after latest iTunes update...

Just updated iTunes to version 7 and had the system load album art when starting it up (which it did not do but no big deal). So I manually added some album art as I always do through get info and dragging the pic just to check out the new search feature. I went to test out the screen saver to check out the new album pics and instead got a black screen. So I check preferences and received the following error:
"Can't load screen saver - Screen saver itunes artwork did not load properly. please select another screen saver. Error: * -[NSURL initWithString:relativeToURL:]: nil string parameter"
Any suggestions? Thanks.

Thats odd. Not sure what this error means, but you could always try repairing disk permissions, that seems to solve most of the random errors that occasionally pop up on my OS X macs. Load the OS X install dvd into the drive then restart your machine holding the C key. choose english as the main language. Then go into the utilities menu and select disk utility. Click on your hard disk then click the repair permissions button. Once completed, restart the computer into OS X. Then try your screensaver again. If this doesnt work, post again and I'll take a closer look at it.

Screen blacks out after latest itunes update installed

last year after installing an update for itunes my screen blacked out. it then intermittently worked for a few days before failing permanently. this was later fixed by replacing the inverter board. i didn't suspect the two events were linked. however, yesterday i got the latest update for itunes and again a few minutes after installation my screen blacked out! deja vu... it seems unlikely but is it possible the screen fault is caused by updating itunes?
this morning the screen is working again and i have run system restore to undo the installation. fine, but when i try to open itunes it starts installing again.

Iphone 4 not recognized and will not sync after latest itunes update. I have done all trouble shooting and uninstalled and reinstalled itunes to no avail.

iphone 4 not recognized and will not sync after latest itunes update. I have done recommendedl trouble shooting and uninstalled and reinstalled itunes to no avail. Can I go back to earlier version of itunes or restore computer to fix?

'The installer has insufficient privileges to modify this file C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Apple\Apple Application Support\Web kit.resources\inspector\Images\Spinner Inactive Selected.gif.'
That one's consistent with disk/file damage. The first thing I'd try with that is running a disk check (chkdsk) over your C drive.
XP instructions in the following document: How to perform disk error checking in Windows XP
Vista instructions in the following document: Check your hard disk for errors
Windows 7 instructions in the following document: How to use CHKDSK (Check Disk)
Select both Automatically fix file system errors and Scan for and attempt recovery of bad sectors, or use chkdsk /r (depending on which way you decide to go about doing this). You'll almost certainly have to schedule the chkdsk to run on startup. The scan should take quite a while ... if it quits after a few minutes or seconds, something's interfering with the scan.
Does the chkdsk find/repair any damage? If so, can you get an install to go through properly afterwards?

MSVCR80.dll file missing (after latest iTunes update). Unable to reinstall iTunes either. Fixes?

After installing the latest iTunes update, I am unable to open iTunes (The program can't start because MSVCR80.dll is missing from your computer). Plugging in my iDevices won't prompt iTunes to open, either (they are viewed only as mass storage devices). I attempted to reinstall iTunes, but recieved an error message that said I had insufficient rights to install (I am an administrator). Is anyone else having similar problems? Is there a way to fix it that won't include uninstalling the current version of iTunes? Don't want to lose all my files! Thanks for a rapid response, Community. I appreciate all the help I can get.

After latest iTunes update I get error message when syncing:

"iTunes could not sync information to the iPhone "name" because a connection could not be established to the iPhone". Same for my iPad, same for both even after upgrading to IOS6.0. Any ideas?
I tried to carry out a restore on the iPhone but iTunes cannot back it up.
Is the latest iTunes broken? or is it just me?
I am on Windows 7 64 bit, Never had this problem till the latest iTunes update.

So I am unclear, did you purchase these songs or import them from a cd?
If you imported them and still have the CD try importing them again and see if they work the delete the others.
Or if you purchased from itunes re-dowwnload and see if they work. Maybe they are corrupted files and this should resove it.

Cannot purchase when signed in after latest ITunes update

Since the latest ITunes update I have not ben able to purchase anything through the ITunes Store. I've tried signing out > restarting ITunes and signing back in which works fine, but when I try to purchase I'm prompted for my credendials over and over again. I repaired permissions, and I get no errors - just more prompts. I know the credendials I'm entering are valid, and the update is the only change to my system since my last purchase. I disabled my firewall as well. Anyone else having this issue?

Unfortunately it won't go into disk mode. Even tried the "put your ipod on a flat surface" trick. I'm wondering if the battery hasn't stopped holding a charge. But it seems the symptoms would be more like a constant battery icon. Instead I'm getting the sad face everytime I try to put it in disk mode or reset. Ideas? Throw ipod against wall? Blow on it like old-school Nintendo cartridges?
Oh, and yes, it is Windows formatted.
Any and all help would be appreciated.

My PC won't sync with iphone 4s or ipad after latest itunes update

When I plug it in, it asks to trust the computer. I have uninstalled and reinstalled itunes. I have tried different usb ports and turning off the firewall.It was working ok til the latest itunes update.

Did you click on Trust? What happens when you do? When you removed and uninstalled iTunes, did you use this support document and follow the instructions exactly? http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1923

Non-Library Synced music lost after latest iTunes update. Help!

I downloaded/update to the latest itunes which caused my phone to be reset to its factory settings. Although my contacts, photos and apps ect. were recovered, my music was not. I had a lot of music (2500+) on my phone which was however not synced to my itunes library as most of it was purchased from other sources. They were all normal MP3 files but now I don't know how to get them back! Surely iTunes couldnt have just wiped all of my music, could it? Please please please help me!

If you have content that is on the iPhone but not on the computer then Recover your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device has useful tips. If it has now gone from the iPhone too then you can still recover your iTunes purchases.
What do you see if you drill down into the Mobile Applications and Music folders inside iTunes Media? Are you certain the content has been deleted?
If you've not done too much with the drive since things went wrong, then an undelete tool might recover some of the lost media. FreeRecover looks promising... Select the drive, use the options to get file paths and check file integrity, then, presumably, you can restore anything that has been deleted from within the media folder that looks recoverable.
While it is understandable that you blame Apple & iTunes for losing the media you could have just as easily turned on your computer to find the entire drive fried. You need to be prepared for such by backing up all your important data to at least one secondary independent location.

Anyone experiencing screen resolution problems after latest Mavericks Update?

Anyone got a blurred monitor after the latest Mavericks Update?
I am running Mavericks 10.9.2 on a Mini Mac with a Logic TV/Monitor. Since the latest Mavericks update I no longer have the option in settings to scale to 1600 x900. Since this gives the best picture on my monitor I now have either a blurred screen with large text or a blurred screen with very tiny text. No other options that give a 'normal' display seem available now, after allowing the 'Update'. The update claims to be addressing faults on the MacBook display, which it may well do, but it has also apparently screwed up Mac Mini screen resolution Options for some of us.
I have reverted back to 10.9.2 and turned off automatic updates, but I can't stay that way indefinitely.
I've tried to find an e-mail address or phone number to log my complaint to Apple but to no avail. (I guess they would otherwise be inundated with customer complaints so keep that kind of information under wrapps). Anyone got any ideas?

I'm not having any problems with dual DVI connected Samsung 21.5" monitors in 10.9.3
What connection (adapter, cable, etc.) are you using..?

My Home Sharing does not work any more after latest iTunes update

After iTunes update to 11.1.3 my Home Sharing does not work any more!
It worked just fine for several years...

Most of Apple so called updates turn out real crap...

After latest itunes update i can no longer drag songs using home sharing.

Previously, I was able to open home sharing between my husband (his mac) and my computer (pc). But after the itunes software update on my pc, the ability to import and drag songs is gone. I have done it many times before. I see the home sharing library and can browse through it. But can't take any action with it. Can't import to library or to ipod.

With your iPhone connected and selected in iTunes, in Summary pane, select Manually manage music and videos.

After latest itunes update, cannot run itunes: get error MSVCR80.dll is missing. What to do?

Tried uninstalling all apple programs, and downloading and reinstalling itunes. But itunes did not install correctly, and it tells me to reinstall. And if I click on the itunes icon I again get the error message than MSVCR80.dll is missing. (This is on my Windows 7 machine.)

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.
