Album Art screensaver won't work w/iTunes 9

I am experiencing the same issue, but am unable to remedy it. In my case, what I believe is going on with iTunes 9 is a change in folder structure that iTunes uses. In iTunes 9, they have changed how the program manages your media. They call it "iTunes Media Organization". Basically, it creates Movies, TV shows, album artwork, etc. in your "iTunes" folder alongside your "Music" folder, not within the "Music" folder. The only thing I can guess is that Apple did not update this change in the Screensaver preference pane to follow this new folder structure. I just don't know how, if it's even possible, to point the screen saver to a new album art location. If this truly is the problem, we might have to wait for an update of either iTunes or 10.6 itself.

Which Folder did you delete to get this working..I have a master folder in music an d a regular..both with artwork files .itc...
thx

Not working for me either. iTunes library is on an external drive. Tried all of the ideas suggested above. Trashed (repeatedly) the empty iTunes folder that keeps appearing in my Music folder, changed settings for screensaver, opened and closed itunes a number of times, trashed (repeatedly) the plist file for the iTunes screensaver, Put Back the oldest plist for the screensaver that I'd trashed.... nothing. NOTHING.

so sad... =(

c'mon Apple!

Me too..in fact I didn't find any plist for my screensavers...where were yours?
I did find something interesting though in deleting/searching the itunes folder..
I have my library on a non-boot internal and I still have an artwork folder in /music/itunes on my main drive with three subfolders (cache, download and local---local is empty) and I have a similar folder without the download subfolder where all my files are-on my non-boot drive. Interestingly, the cache folder on my main (boot)drive is the one updating. You? Ideas?

I used the same fix as described before. At first it wouldn't work. So I quit iTunes and the system prefs. I deleted the music folder, and relaunched the system prefs, and it worked after that. So try quitting iTunes first...

I have my library on an external drive and had the same screensaver problem.
I solved it by creating an alias of the iTunes folder of the ext drive in the Music folder of my mac.
This way the screensaver finds the artwork folder as it should.
Still this is a bug and should be fixed by apple.

Shaun--
the iTunes artwork screensaver plist, as well as a general screensaver plist, for me, was found in...
/Users/MY_USERNAME/Library/Preferences/ByHost

Thanks! That worked for me too.

To be exact: I made an alias of the folder on my external that contained the "Album Artwork" folder (I don't have that folder actually named "iTunes", but rather "XXXX's iTunes library"). I trashed the empty iTunes folder in my boot (external) drive's Music folder and replaced it with the aforementioned alias. Then I renamed the alias plain ol' "iTunes".

phew. Still I concur, this is a bug and Apple should fix it.

I loves me some Snow Leopard beta! Never knew when I plunked down my $29 that I was signing up for beta testing.

Thanks Shauny.

Followed your advice, screensaver working again. (For completeness, I too have my iTunes library not stored on my Mac's main disc, though it is permanently connected...)

LOL! True...if it's not printer/scanner breaking down with SL it's a simple screensaver. I tried all the fixes but still a no go....I wonder if my artwork is stored differently somehow?

I am having the same problem, I have my itunes library shared over a network drive, the work around I found was to find my original itunes database file (in my case /Volumes/Cosmos Media Raid/iTunes/iTunes Library) and copied it to my users music folder ~/Music/iTunes/iTunes Library. The only file I have in my users itunes music folder is that itunes library file. I noticed that when running the screen saver it generates an album artwork folder in my local itunes folder. I am suspecting that this local itunes library file will not update since the one that iTunes is actually using is on my networked drive, but at least im not getting that nice "no artwork found message"

Hope this helps!
