Screensaver with iTunes Album illustrations

Hello,
Since I updated my iMac tp the new OS X 10.8.2 Lion system the sreensaver can't find the iTunes Album Ilustrations anymore. It just shows a black screen with the message that there aren't any album pictures into the library... But I can still see the album illustrations in iTunes.
Is there anyone who can help me?
Thanks a lot in advance,
Raf

ITunes Album Art Screensaver with iTunes Match in Lion

A well documented problem so far.
Would just like a DEFINITIVE answer
Running iTunes 10.5.3
Lion 10.7.2
iTunes Match working great with songs still stored locally.
Have re-downloaded all album artwork & displays just fine while in iTunes
When activating Screensaver, get the message 'No iTunes artwork found'
Ok all you mac/iTunes geniuses, what have you figured out so far?

I found that I too had this problem. I have tried everything that is suggested here and else were.
What I had to do was maybe a combo of everything suggested here and what I did. Don't know for sure, but I am not going to try to break it again to find out.
After none of these suggestions would get it to work I started digging.
Using Activity Monitor, I could see that when I had the System Preferences open it was taking way to much Physical RAM and CPU, so I selected "System Preferences" from the list of open processes and then clicked the "Inspect" button at the top of the Activity Monitor, under the "Open Files and Ports" tab I could see that the "iTunes Library.itl" file was trying to be accessed. So then I closed the "Inspect" window and clicked the "Sample Process" button. I got A LOT of information, and a lot of error messages refering to iTunes that contained the text "(in iTunesAccess) load address" and a bunch of different numbers that I couldn't tell you what they mean. Searching google for "(in iTunesAccess) load address" didn't give me anything of value, so I figured that since System Preferences kept trying to call the "iTunes Library.itl" file and I was getting a bunch of iTunes errors in sampling the System Preferences process, that the problem might lie in my library.
So to test, I copied about 50 or so songs with album art to the iTunes library of a new user I had just created on my computer. Then I tried to turn on the artwork screen saver, and it worked right out of the gate. So that told me it wasn't a global problem with the computer, just within my profile. Since I have had the same library for about 10 years though hardware, OS, and iTunes upgrades, I thought, maybe if there was some way I could rebuild my Library file it might be happier, and since I don't want to loose all my play lists and what ever historical data is kept in the library file, rebuilding seemed like the best option.
So here is what I found on how to rebuild the Library file, it is pretty easy, but scary to. I have a Time Machine back up of my computer so I felt better knowing that I could just revert back. Before you try this I would make back up copies of "iTunes Library.itl" and "iTunes Music Library.xml" if you aren't backing up your computer already.

Then if you have problems with your PodCasts after.

After all that everything worked like it was suppose to. Happy day and all the peasants rejoiced.
I really wish Apple would address the issue though, I know it's a small detail, but that attention to small details is sometimes what makes Apple so effing cool. Seems like they are starting to let more fall through the cracks.

Why DOESN'T the screensaver with itunes' illustrations work?

I tried with the last version of itunes (11.0.1) but it doesn't work yet. thanks for the attention.

I have also noticed glitches often in IMovie. I have had the same problem and if I can solve it I find a way around it. Sometimes if your hard drive is too full it has a hard time fuctioning because there is just not enough space for the program itself to function. The raw footage alone for one of my projects took up 1/3 of my HD disk space alone. I had to delete all other projects just to do that one video. One thing you can try is just exporting the movie as is. delete the old project and re-import the video you just exported as a new project. Then add the music into the new project. Hope that helps.

WHAT'S WITH iTUNES ALBUM RANKINGS THIS WEEK? ALL MESSED UP

iTunes has 'Narrow Stairs' by Death Cab for Cutie at #1 and #3; Jasoon Mraz' Album ranked at #2 and #7 ! What's with that? Are any of the rankings correct?

Rankings are generated by sales through the iTunes Store for a given unknown period, so as far as the iTunes Store is concerned they're probably correct. As to the two entries for the Mraz album, one is for the bonus track version and one is for the normal version, so it's two different products as far as purchases are concerned.
Forum Tip: It is generally considered inappropriate to type all in uppercase letters in Internet discussions, even in a message subject, as text that is typed all in uppercase is by convention considered to be shouting. Please use all uppercase sparingly and only when you really mean to shout, which we hope you won’t need to do here .

Weird problem with iTunes album order

For some reason all of the sudden iTunes is displaying my albums in descending order (ex: starts with track 12 and goes down to 1) instead of ascending. It's annoying because the albums dont play in order anymore.
Any help is appreciated

Woops, self fixed :-P

Digital booklet? Do you mean the "Album Cover"... the only way you will see that is by tilting your iPhone "horizontally".. That will show you "Cover Flow"!

Is it possible to add the Album Illustration I scanned myself?

Hello,
*Can I Import Album Illustrations I Scanned Myself?*
I use iTunes to play music at home and I own an iPod-Touch for on the road.
It's nice to be able to see and/or search through the Album Illustrations.
Most of the songs and albums I bought at the iTunes store come with the Album Illustration.
BUT, when I import my cd collection I bought at the retail store into my iTunes, Almost none have Album Illustrations.
So it would only be logical that we can import the cd covers also.
It looks so stupid without them:

Thank You Very Much For Your Help.
I kept looking at the main menus, so of course I didn't find it.
Is there any resolution or measurement of the picture which will be optimal?
I usually use pics that are under 100kB, but if you have special art that you scanned yourself feel free to go a bit higher.

ITunes album art screensaver no longer works

My screensaver suddenly no longer displays the iTunes album artwork library.
Instead it's a black screen saying "Your iTunes Library does not contain any songs with artwork.
What happened here? Album artwork shows up fine in iTunes and the screensaver used to work just fine...

Update: I downgraded back to iTunes 8 - and the album artwork screensaver is finally back!
I also missed the photo album sorting feature with non-iPhoto photo syncing,
so for now the iTunes downgrade works for me ...
Hoping Apple will fix some of these issues with one of the next updates!

Problem with album picture on iPod with iTunes 10.2.2.14

I'm using iTunes 10.2.2.14 on windows xp (service pack3) with iPod classic 80Gb.
In iTunes I have 14.000 songs. Most of them with album illustration.
In iTunes these illustrations are available.
On my iPod I can se the covers
On my iPod Classic in [music] [cover flow] view, I see the album pictures
On my iPod Classic in [music] [[Albums] view, no picture is show at all.
When playing the indivualnumber for each album,
I will NOT see the album cover for the first song in that album
However, I do see the albumcovers for the subsequent numbers.
Missing the album for the first song, I can understand the view-per-album does not show any picture
Mostlikely because it will take the album picture from the first song.
But why is is missing with (all) first songs ?
I checked Itunes; the album cover is there.
I have de-installed en installed iTunes.
I have emptied the iPod.
I have reload all the songs in iTunes.
All without result.
An so strange; the same effect for all albums.
Somebody suggestions what the cause is ?
Or how I can overcome / repair this ?

If your iPod is set to update automatically then try this:
1. Connect your iPod
2. Disable "Show Album art" in iTunes>Edit>Preferences>iPod.
3. Syncronise the iPod with iTunes. (Disconnecting and then reconnecting your iPod will do the trick)
4. Re-enable "Show Album Art" in iTunes>Edit>Preferences>iPod.
5. Syncronise the iPod again.

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.

I would like to transfer all data from my iPod classic to my new computer with windows 8.1. My old computer's cpu died. Utilizing iTunes which only allows iTunes albums purchased at iTunes store. The cd's were loaded via iTunes originally.

Install disk drive from old computer in an external enclosure.
Then copy the complete iTunes library from the disk drive to the disk drive in the new computer.

Issues with setting "Album Artist" in iTunes 9.2.5.1 on Windows 7

I googled this for a while but haven't been able to find this issues mentioned anywhere else yet. Here's what's happening: I am importing CDs to iTunes 9.2.1.5 on Windows 7 Pro (64 Bit) using MP3 Encoder > Higher Quality. All is well except for a few CDs where I'd like to set an overall Album Artist. Example: Tony Bennett's Duets: An American Classic. When importing the CD it shows up under "Various Artists" since "Artist" is always Tony Bennett plus whoever he sings with. To make sure the album shows up under Tony Bennett in the library I click on the album and set "Album Artist" to Tony Bennett. That, however results in changing the "Artist" field as well now so all fields say Tony Bennett, which shouldn't happen, "artists" should stay unchanged. I tried this with several albums and the behavior is always the same.
I also tried the back door by going into the actual folder of the album in Windows then change the MP3 details and populate "Album Artist" there for all tracks within the album. Once I re=open iTunes it registers the change only for the first track but not the rest. So I re-import the folder into iTunes and then it does take "Album Artist" and also leaves "Artist" unchanged but for some reason has now lots of numbers under "Comments". There seems to be a mismatch of the field attributes between iTunes and Windows for MP3 files (possibly other formats as well). Wondering if anyone else has observed this or if I am just missing some setting.

FYI iTunes handling of ID3v2.4 tags seems to have some issues as well... Translating genres into their numeric codes for one thing. I'd recommend sticking with v2.3.
I'm not exactly sure from your posts what you were seeing. Was the artist being changed in Get Info. after you'd set Album Artist, or was it changing elsewhere on screeen? iTunes 9(.1 I think) added an option *View > Column Browser > Use Album Artists*. Unfortunately this doesn't change the heading of the column so that you "see" it is now only listing album artists but that's what it does.
There is also an occasional issue with the current build in that sometimes changes to Album Artist or Sort Album Artist fail to be reflected properly in the column browser until iTunes is closed and reopened.

I lost a lot of tracks while syncing my ipod touch with iTunes. I have managed to get some of them back with a free download, but iTunes will not let me dowload whole albums which I have paid for. It does recognise that they have been purchased. What do n

As I've already said to get this far: I have lost a lot of tracks while syncing my iPod Touch with iTunes. I have managed to get free downloads of some of the single tracks, but when I try to download entire albums the system informs me that I have already purchased them and a pop-up window informs me I can get them back from my "Purchased" file. I would not be trying to dowload them again if they were anywhere on the iPod, would I? The other problem seems to be that with single tracks I don't know before I hit the purchase button if I have picked it from the right album and I have had to pay for it again.
I feel that I have been totally ripped off by iTunes and, apart from ranting on this forum, I don't seem to be able to let my feelings known. It's like a guy from my local record store coming round and nicking my albums and telling me that it's tough!
The point here is folks, that it was syncing two Apple sites which caused the loss of these tracks and from what I've read elsewhere this is a regular fault. And please don't tell me that it's my fault for having a pc. Apple shouldn't sell a product for pc, when it doesn't work on pc!

- Are you saying that they are not listed in your Purchased section?
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
- Are they listed in your Puchases history when you log into your account on your computer?
- Are they still available now for purchase? If not then you are out of luck
If they are still available and listed in your Puchase History then contact iTunes

HT201077 Why can't I access my iCloud albums from apps on my mobile devices?When I go to access my albums from any app on my phone or iPad, I cannot access the iCloud albums, only the albums synced with iTunes/iPhoto manually. This is frustrating because

When I go to access my albums from any app on my phone or iPad, I cannot access the iCloud albums, only the albums synced with iTunes/iPhoto manually. This is frustrating because I cannot add to those albums from mobile device, I have to add to them during a Mac sync. I would like to be able to use my iCloud albums to organize my photos but if I cannot access them from apps it seems pointless. I will end up having to maintain both an iCloud library and a separate iPhoto library which is more work that seems necessary. I want everything easy to organize and access. It seems like in this age where most people are more likely to use their mobile devices than their Macs (and some do not even own Macs) that there should be a mobile solution. Hopefully I am simply without a clue and you folks can help me out with a fix or a source of info as a solution. I have not found answers yet.

How Can I put an Artists Live Albums in a separate folder, so they sort by "Concert Date" in iTunes and do not "intermingle" so to speak with Studio Albums? Is this possible?

How Can I put an Artists Live Albums in a separate folder, so they sort by "Concert Date" in iTunes and do not "intermingle" so to speak with Studio Albums? Is this possible?
That is about the best way I can phrase my question.
I put year/month/date at the beginning of a show, hoping for them to sort by date and I get mixed results.
Would creating a Folder within the Artists' existing folder that said "Pearl Jam Live", inside the "Pearl Jam" folder in iTunes Media help this "Date Sorting Issue"?
Thank you.

Or is there a way to go through aperture to make a new reference library that I can move the masters into later?
you do not move the masters into a references library - you turn your current library into a referenced library. As Terence Devlin said:
File -> Relocate Masters
What you should set up:
Select a folder, where you want to store your referenced files - probably on an external drive.
Decide on a hierarchical folder structure inside this folder - that is completely up to you.
Select a project from your library and use the command "File -> Relocate Masters/Originals" to move the original image files to the folder where you want to go them to. Only take care not to send two projects to the same folder.
Alternatively, if you do not care about the folder structure Aperture will use, select all images at once from the "Photos" view and let Aperture decide how to assing the folders - in the "Relocate Originals" dialoge you can specify a subfolder format.

Léonie
