Artwork is not downloading

Mac OSX 10.7.5 & iTunes 11,
I copied iTunes music library from PC to Mac and enabled iTunes Store preferences Automatically Download Album Artwork.
Album artwork is not being downloaded.
Also playlists are missing? Any ideas anyone?
Ann

I wish I could help but I cannot. But, I did want to confirm that this also started happening to me after installing the most recent iTunes update. Little by little, Apple is exerting total control over what we listen to and watch and how we listen and how we watch.
The meek will surrender.

Album artwork does not download, album artwork does not download

i have windows 7 album artwork does not download even new stuff what could be happening?

It's possible your album artwork isn't there and cannot be obtained as this album no longer appears to be offered for purchase by itunes. Unless I'm overlooking it, when I go to the itunes store and enter "Santana", "Carlos Santana", or "Food For Thought", nothing comes up. I'm thinking if this is an album no longer for sale through itunes, then you won't be able to get that album artwork the way previously have. Unfortunately, I'm not saavy enough to know if it's possible to get the album artwork via another means. But maybe someone else reading this post is.

Downloading artwork - "could not get artwork for some albums"

This might have been addressed before, but I browsed the forum and couldn't find a thread. Sorry if it's been gone over several times.
I live in Turkey and I've added albums to my iTunes. I checked the box in the Get Info next to Artwork and I selected Get Album Artwork from the Advanced tab. It scans through all the albums and then says "could not get artwork for some albums." "Some" albums means all of them actually. And the error tab details say "artwork not available." I also tried getting artwork by right clicking on a single album but I get the same error. Before it was a 609 error. Now it just says not available.
I logged out of the store, quit iTunes, loaded it again, re-signed in to the store and tried to get artwork that way, but got the same result. No artwork. The albums are things like Let It Be, Allman Brothers, Ella Fitzgerald... Albums that should certainly have artwork available.
I'm using Windows Vista.
Has anyone had and conquered this problem? Any ideas on what I should do? I have 300+ albums, so getting the cover art from wikipedia would be a bit tedious. I'd appreciate any help anyone can give!

Hello, Welcome to Apple Discussions.
Are your songs from Audio CDs or iTunes Store? If not you may need to manually find the album artwork for them as these songs may not be listed in the iTunes Store database for your region.
iTunes: Album art may not download properly
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1815
iTunes will only download album artwork for songs that it can find in the iTunes Store. iTunes will check each song in your iTunes library and attempt to match it up with a song in the iTunes Store. If the data matches, iTunes will download the album artwork from the iTunes Store and add it to the song in your iTunes library. If iTunes does not find a particular song's artwork in the iTunes Store, you will not see an alert message. iTunes simply does not download artwork for that song.

Album artwork and song names do not download. How do I get this to download. Submitting is not working

album artwork and song names do not download. How do I get this to download. Submitting is not working

Hello!
I own a small company and we are having the same problems.
IE9 is not working with the latest flash update infact the update has messed up flash complety for all sites once installed. I went to YouTube eariler and it warned that I needed to install to the new Flash Player upon instaling and returning to YouTube it had the same message. This led us to download both the x86 and x64 versions and useing the uninstaller went through each one and tried the updates. None of the downloadable updates from Adobes site works. I have also loaded up Windows XP in a virtual machine and trying IE 8 with the latest updates and it as well does not work and does the same thing upon updateing it just keeps saying to install the latest update allthough it has allready been done!
Now on the other hand I loaded FireFox and it had the same update and upon restarting the browser after applying the update and it works just fine!
Im on a Windows 7 x64 Ultimate box and ran the WindowsXP in the VM. FireFox was loaded on the main OS and worked fine after said update.
Of Course I have allready double checked the running addons in IE 9 and the files within the /system32/ and all the flash files go there (x86 and x64 were differnt named files)
Im guessing there is something conflicting betwen IE (IE 8 and 9 tested)
Now this is not just happining on this machine but all of our desktops and laptops no one has any trouble with FireFox working
Also this will break all flash objects in IE even localy as now no flash works it acts like it is not installed.
Guess will see how long this takes to get fixed or aknowledged... lol

After downloading iTones 10.5.1, the artwork matchs the song that is playing on my iMac but the artwork does not sync properly on my Apple TV. The artwork lags one cover behind. Is anyone else experiencing the same problem.

I think it is just a bug, but it in very frustrating. I was using just now for about an hour and suddenly the correct artwork appeared for what was playing....but then all went wrong again!!
Apple, please, please issue a patch for this. It surely cannot be too complicated to correct.

Album Artwork not downloading

Hiya,
I recently had to re-install iTunes Version 7 after a computer failure. I installed the the software and restored all my tunes and the album art work for all tunes, including those added from CD downloaded automatically. I hadnt downloaded these before as I had been using an old version of iTunes.
However, the system will now not download any album artwork for tunes added from CD. I have checked the help files, made the correct settings on iTunes and have also checked that the CD's Iam adding are available iStore and it should be working.
Has anyone else had this problem?
Regards
Mark

Actually no it doesn't, but when I do a search from iTunes I can find the Album just fine. I've copied the info from iTunes and did a Copy/Paste into the correct fields in my Library. No misspellings or anything.
Here's one of the album/artist I'm having trouble getting the album cover for.

ITunes 11.1 not downloading artwork for albums only on icloud

Since updating to 11.1 some more of my artwork seems to be missing. The get album artwork is only getting artwork for downloaded music. If I right click on an album without artwork which is not downloaded and click get album artwork nothing happens. This works fine once at least 1 song of the album has been downloaded. I'm on a mac with mountain lion if that's any help. Any ideas?

Okay, found it. In iTunes 11.1, in the left column, under Libraries: click on Podcasts
Find "settings" at the bottom of the frame. The Automatically Download needs to be set to "Most Recent." If it's set to "off" then the podcast will be available in the cloud to pull down individually.

I recently purchased Foo Fighters Sonic Highways on iTunes. Where is the album artwork, liner notes and pictures? When purchasing/downloading entire album on iTunes, do you get this information with the purchase?

The album cover art should show on the album in the Music part of your library. For other pictures and/or notes, does the album description page in the store say that it's an iTunes LP (does it have an LP label against it in the store) ? If not then you will just get the tracks.

10.6.3.25 artwork will not paste into iTunes

my old WinXP finally gave it up...although was able to download iTunes and tell it which drive the music lives, have run into at least one cd where I've tried several ways copying the artwork. iTunes just will not take it. Message in the window is "artwork is not modifiable." What's up with that? I'll carry on. Have NOT attempted to sync with phone yet since all playlists were also lost. So will need to rebuild in Tunes first...is the artwork thing something new with Win 7? or with 10.6.3.25? Thanks!

HT1688 iTunes Match is not downloading properly to my iPhone.

iTunes Match is not downloading properly to my iPhone. I removed some songs from the cloud and it has not sent some songs to my iPhone and a lot of my artwork is not coming down. I have tried to turn it on and off in iTunes, updated to Match and restarted the computer and phone. Nothing works. I just began using Match. What am I doing wrong? How do I fix this?

My podcast artwork is not showing in the iTunes store or in the Podcasts app

My podcast, the Legal Seagull, was recently posted to iTunes. The problem is that the artwork is not showing in the iTunes store or on the iPhone's Podcasts app. Once you actually download the episodes, the image does appear.
I verified that my image is 1400 X 1400; however, it does appear to be around 700kb. I have seen some posts about how you should try to keep it under 500kb, but I haven't seen anything official from Apple to that effect.
I note that there is a man out there called Roger Wilmut, who is extremely knowledgable about this issue and has responded to many similar questions. Mr. Wilmut, if you are out there, could you please advise whether my feed is set up correctly? If it is just a waiting process, I'm fine with that- I just want to make sure that I've set everything correctly on my end.

Thanks!

OK, looks like the problem has resolved! All it took was a few days of waiting patiently

Album art not downloading

I updated both Macs in our house with the Apple security update this evening and the latest version of iTunes as software update prompted us to do this at the same time. I have purchased songs on both computers since (iBook G4 and iMac G5 both running 10.4.5) Songs download normally and play fine on either computer - I have n't tried with an iPod yet - but no artwork is downloaded. Clicking on information shows they are recognised as protected files though. On the iBook the songs did n't even show up on the purchased list though they are in the library! I wonder if excess zeal to prevent malicious code opening from picture files, given the recent security scares about this, may be to blame?
iMac G5 2Ghz Mac OS X (10.4.3)

i bought some songs yesterday and they didn't come with the artwork either.
Until yesterday, I only bought complete albums, which came with the artwork, but artwork does not come with single tracks as far as I know.
I could be wrong though.
If you transferred them to another computer, they don't show up in the 'Purchased' playlist. They only show up in the 'Purchased' playlist on the computer you purchased them.
Artwork files are not executable. I don't think the recent 'security issues' are to blame.
You can get the artwork doing the following:
Navigate to the album on the iTMS, which you purchased songs from.
Control-click on the name of the album.
Select 'Copy iTunes Music Store URL'
Click on this link
Paste the URL in the 'iTunes Album URL:' filed and submit.
Choose small or large.
Drag the picture to the artwork pane in iTunes.
If you have purchased more songs from the same album, select them in iTunes and Get Info. Drop the artwork in the 'Artwork' field.
Hope this helps.

Movie Artwork won't download from iTunes Store

I only saw one other post about this, and no resolution. Not only will is my artwork slow to download, some of it won't even download after 2 minutes. I have 1.25-1.3 mb/s DSL to an airport extreme base station. Every genre except HD movies only shows grey movie ticket icons and no artwork. What gives? I rebooted it once, and it helped, but then everything went away??? Is there away around this?

Contact the iTunes Store customer support department through the form linked from the bottom of their Download FAQ web page (I recommend that you use the form, not the link in your Purchase History as they advise; that's not proven to be very reliable) and explain the problem to them.
Good luck.

Collection art is not downloading with files...

...at first I thought it was just us but downloading other content, I have noticed other universities collection art is not downloading. Has anyone else noticed this problem on the most recently uploaded content?
I emailed apple about this and they told me to post it here.

I actually have the same thing happening to me. I set up the iTunes U for the college and everything shows up fine but when something is downloaded on the computer it does not get the artwork. But when I tried it on my ipod touch it downloaded the artwork fine.
