Boston, Ma... Missing 757
This is just recent happened to me and I am not sure if any other MR people on here has experienced it. I was adding some music and my iTunes loaded the music into my library. Then all over sudden it decided to just crash, I didn't think nothing of it. Tried to reopen it crashed, crashed, and crashed. I started panicing so i restarted the computer, but that is when i released what happened.

I didn't notice this small problem until my album artwork slide show screen saver started.Somehow or way my iTunes has lost all over its Album artwork in it's folders, BUT.... it's still there on the albums and so forth. So what is the deal? I scanned for viruses i came up with none and I verified the DISK and reparied it everything was okie. But right as I was scanning for viruses the 1st time the whole OSX crashed. Which was the reason see if the HFS Volume 1 had problems but it did not. So has anyone experienced this problem yet? Or is it telling me I should move on and get me a new Mac soon?

Why are you scanning for viruses in OS X?
What are you using to scan?

Sometimes I get windows viruses from time to time but no real worries here, it's just a pre-caution for me. I used Norton Anti-Virus app. Also when I try to check my itunes artwork screen saver it says that no album artwork is on any of the songs..
 
Norton for OS X?

Norton does not play nicely with OS X at all. It causes all sorts of problems.

I'm going to be completely useless now and say I have no idea for either question:eek:
 
I've just been looking at the Apple Discussions about your problem.

Here's one of the posts there:
he following is what I did to get the files shown in iTunes screensaver.

First you must go to System Preferences & open up the iTunes Artwork screensaver.
Click on the Options button.
Rows: Move the slider all the way to 8
Click the OK button

After I download the artwork I selected, I then open up iTunes & drag the file into the Album Artwork window until it takes.
Then I go into the iTunes Artwork folder to the deepest rooted files. There will be a new folder there w/my latest artwork.
My folders are color coded so I'll know when a new one is created and/or my artwork took/accepted by the system.

There is also deeply rooted an empty folder. I think this folder is created after you use the iTunes Album Artwork window. This is where I put the .jpg file when I am too lazy to have iTunes convert to .itc. I just rename the jpg file w/the same amount of random letters & #'s.itc like the iTunes artwork files. I am prompt "Do you really want to change .jpg to .itc?" I just click the YES button.

For me, the above solutions is the easiest way for my purpose.

well, all my artwork is attached to the songs and albums. But the iTunes screen saver is saying different, it's like it was deleted but it's still there. But i have no clue what he is talking about or even how to do that.
