This could be for security reasons similar to the way apps are sandboxed-not allowed to access any resources outside of the apps themselves-perhaps iTunes is locking down its access to third-party tools. This suggests that Apple is shutting the door on these tools. (If you’re not familiar with the iTunes visualizer, readĪ report from one visualizer developer says that iTunes no longer accesses third-party visualizers. I’ve gotten lots of emails about third-party visualizes no longer working, or even showing up in the View > Visualizer menu.

I hadn’t realized how many people use the iTunes visualizer until iTunes 12.6 was released.

Is there a fix for this, or has Apple killed off third-party visualizers? Q: I noticed that when I updated to iTunes 12.6 most of my visualizers disappeared. This may replace your existing artwork, so I don’t recommend that you use it. If you’re in Songs view, and you have the artwork column visible, you can choose Get Album Artwork by right-clicking the artwork area.Īs you say, the File > Library > Get Album Artwork menu item tries to get artwork for the entire library.If you’re in Albums view, right-click an album’s artwork or the musical note that displays when there is no artwork to choose that menu item.If you’re in Artists, Genres, or Composers view, click the … button in an album’s header to choose Get Album Artwork. I have been trying to update the itunes visualizer but to no avail.
