My iTunes visualizer's(Jelly, lathe, stix) disappeared after installing lion

Hmm, i have the same problem as well...i can find the visualizer files (.qtz) under system/composition/ ...but they are not recognized in itunes...

I had that same problem too, it seems the Lion upgrade to 64 bit is causing the problem. I would go more into detail, but that's all know right now. Hope it helps and the devs start upgrading!

I may also be experiencing a similar problem, since the upgrade I have not been able to launch iTunes 10.4.

When I launch it throws up an "iTunes quit unexpectedly". I reviewed the system.log and found the following error occurs each time I try to launch iTunes.

"com.apple.iTunes[813]: The plugin 'Quartz Composer Visualizer' failed to load because it has the wrong CPU architecture for this version of iTunes. (3585)"

Any idea where I can go from here to get this fixed?

Hello nkatariya,

I was about to post the same "problem" till I saw yours.

Yes I noticed too that all the other "better" visualizers have disappeared from my iTunes too.

I suspect either they were not compatible with the current iTunes/Lion in some way, or maybe they think since maybe many of us do not really use or go into Visualizer, they decided to omit them?

Actually Jelly is my fav. :-)

To me this would be a very small problem since it will not affect my mac's working operations, stability etc.

Thanks and cheers

Right click on iTunes.app in your Applications folder and click "Get Info". In the window that appears, click "Open in 32-bit mode" at the bottom of the "General" pane.

This is a work-around, not a fix, and I have filed a bug report with Apple.

Yep, I'm glad I wasn't the only who used it either. Bring Jelly back!!

*deleted wrong account*

LOL I filed a report too. watch out for that duplicate tag 😉

yeah just use 32 bit for now

I am sad about the visualizer thing. My favorites of all time, which are very beautiful and free, are from a Japanese designer. None work any longer.

I've contacted Wow Labs, and they have confirmed they don't have time to upgrade to 64 bit.

Has anyone heard any updates on this? I still can't find the "Jelly" visualizer option, and it's my total favorite!

Almost six months and no fix? Cummon Apple! Bring Jelly back!

The Jelly visualizer, along with the other missing visualizers will re-appear if you select iTunes to open in 32-bit mode. To do so, complete the following steps.

1. Quit iTunes

2. Access the "Applications" folder and locate the iTunes app.

3. Either right-click (ctrl-click) on the icon or click on the File menubar, then select "Get Info" (Command-I).

4. In the dialog window box that appears, underneath the Label section, you will see a small square box that says "Open in 32-bit mode".

5. Check the box and close the dialog window.

6. Re-open iTunes and under the "View" menu, select "Visualizer" and you will see the various visualizers now reappearing, including the "Jelly" visualizer.

Hope this helps!

ummm hello! guy up there answered it almost a year ago lol! hate that everybody didn't seem to notice; all the same to me since I just upgraded my 2088ish Al. MBP to Lion...and really excited to be up-to-date "for real!"

I'm happy to help.

It is just sad that Apple hasn't updated the visualizers.

I just got a weird message from iTunes that is was starting in safe mode due to visualizer plugins installed. I quit it and launched it again then got an unexpected error message and it couldn't launch.

I waited a bit, planned to restart but never did, and opened iTunes again. It verified my library and I haven't had an issue since.

I think this problem was fixed in 10.8 with 64-bit plugins. Yet another reason I'm glad I skipped 10.7!
