on my macbook air, it says I have no album artwork

I can see my album artwork in my library, but when I want to use the artwork screensaver, it says I have no artwork. How do I fix this?

MacBook Air, OS X Mavericks (10.9.1)

Hello Maryann,


Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.

For more information on this, take a look at:


OS X: iTunes Artwork screen saver is blank or states "Your iTunes Library does not contain any songs with artwork"

http://support.apple.com/kb/TS4506


  1. Download and install iTunes 11.0.1 or later.
  2. Open iTunes.
  3. Choose Music from the Library pop-up menu or sidebar, and then click Songs.
  4. Choose View > Show Duplicate Items.
  5. Click the Genre column heading to sort all duplicate songs based on their genre.
  6. Look for duplicate items in the "Voice Memo" genre.
  7. Press the Command key while clicking on each of the duplicate voice memos. For example, if you see a specific voice memo repeated three times, then you should click two of those voice memos while holding the Command key, leaving one copy of the voice memo unselected.
  8. Choose Edit > Delete.
  9. Click Delete Voice Memos and Move to Trash in the dialogs that appear.
  10. Choose View > Show All Items.
  11. Choose Apple () menu > System Preferences.
  12. Choose View > Desktop & Screen Saver.
  13. Click Screen Saver, then select iTunes Artwork.

The screen saver preview should now show artwork from the iTunes Library.



Best of luck,

Mario
