How can I show album art in the mini player when playing songs from a plugged in iPhone?

How can I show album art in the mini player when playing songs from a plugged in iPhone?
When I play from my phone and switch to the mini player it's always showing the music notes in the thumbnaill. It'd be nice if it could get album art off of the phone.
I'm on iTunes version 11.0.4.4

He @mracole,
it is very nice that you post a solution to complete the library with artwork for album's that do not have an artwork. Your solution perfectly addresses the problem for assigning artwork, BUT this thread is about CHANGING artwork for albums already uploaded into iTunes Match. Just try to replace for example a blue artwork cover for an album with a red one. If you made it in a simple way (without deleting the album from iTunes Match and local changes on the files with an external ID3-Application or 2 or more iTunes libraries on different Mac's) this is the right place to give a solution. I really tried for hours to change the artwork to make them visible in landscape cover flow mode on my iPhone5. In rare cases I made it, but then the covers sometimes where restored to the old onces - exacly how it is mentioned by Starhawk
As long as there is no simple way to change the cover of an iTunes Match stored album (you can change title, artist and so on without hitting "update iTunes Match" over all distributed Library on different devices - this date will be synchronized almost instantly) I considered the behaviour from iTunes as BUGGY! For me the local artwork cache (and if there is any iCloud artwork cache - I don't know) do not interfere with iCloud. Even when I delete the whole local cache (album artwork music - everything) I do not manage to change the artwork.

  • How can i view album art above the songs in the new itunes format?

    i liked how you could view the artwork for a song above the list and it seems like that option is unavailable in this new itunes version. Why??

    Not a great solution, but you can completely remove the album art if you reduce the width of your itunes window.... as you reduce the window you get to a point where the artwork disappears.

  • How can I get album art to be shown in the left corner when it's already shown in the main area of iTunes?

    My entire music collection was recently deleted on accident. It was my fault (and partially my external harddrive's ridiculously touchy USB cord's fault), but anyways I was able to use an undelete software to get the files back. Some are gone, some are somehow warped into each other, e.g., a folk song, audio-wise, is now replaced with half of a death metal song. I'm trying to fix all that up right now, but my problem is that I can only see album art in the main part of iTunes, right next to the song titles displayed. iTunes refuses to display the art in the bottom left-hand corner, where I think it usually shows what the cursor is locked on at a given time. I'm sorry for not elaborating a sentence or two back, I've also lost about half of my album art in iTunes, so that's why I'm adding it back.
    The weird thing is, album art that was retained after the deletion fiasco does show up in both areas. It's just album art that I add right now that doesn't work. And it can't just be because the files are corrupted or something, because they are editable and play fine, and the same thing happened with a file I just redownloaded and then imported. That file should be perfectly OK.
    Can anyone tell me if there's a reason for album art to not display in the bottom left-hand corner of iTunes while I have certain files selected?
    Thanks
    p.s. one more thing, it's not like the Currently Selected box in that corner is hidden, it's in plain view which is why the blank space is so bothersome.

    I am having a similar problem - my iPod Touch (2nd gen., 32GB, iOS 4.1) was recognized by iTunes on my 24" iMac (Intel, Late 2006) after I had updated it about 1-2 weeks ago (Software Update) to 10.2.2 (the iMac has OS X 10.5.8 on it). I had to take my iMac to a local WiFi spot to do the updating, because I don't have Internet at home currently (can't find anyone who provides just affordable DSL if you don't have your landline via AT&T).
    Today I went to sync my iPod Touch with the iMac (I had updated some apps and bought one new one using the iPT through local WiFi spot). However, iTunes did not see ANY devices at all(!). I tried connecting the iPod Touch first, restarting iTunes and then re-connecting the iPT - nothing helps. The iPod screen turns on just like when charging, but no sign of syncing.
    I'm wondering how applicable the article that you listed would be, or is there a comparable article for iPod Touches with 10.5.8? (I'm getting very fed up with what seems to be the standard Apple partyline of "Just buy a new iPod/Mac/get new software....blah, blah, blah" -Apple, what about those of us who consider it wasteful and unnecessary to buy new hardware or software every few years, just to get a helpful and NON-condescending reply from your support people? (/rant off))

  • IPod Touch shows the wrong artwork when playing songs

    Recently my iPod Touch has just decided to display all the wrong artwork when playing songs. For example I will be listening to Chris Brown and It will be showing a picture of a Jay-Z album. How do I fix this?!
    I've read that all you have to do is 'uncheck "display album artwork" in the music preferences section when your iPod is connected and click "apply". Then sync your iPod.'.. however I manually add the songs onto my iPod so I can't uncheck the music option as it's already unchecked!
    Please help, my iPod looks so ugly showing the wrong artwork lol

    First:
    SOLUTION(FIX): Editing Song titles and...: Apple Support Communities
    Then:
    - Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
    Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Unsync all music and resync
    - Reset all settings      
    Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
    All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
    - Restore from backup. See:                                 
    iOS: How to back up           
    - Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.

  • How can I search PDF's with iTunes mini player search?

    I have been storeing PDF's in iTunes books becuase its so simple to use. The new mini player in iTunes 11 mini player is amazing and provides some very nice looking searchs.
    However I can't search PDF's via the mini player. Does anyone know how to make this work on a windows install of iTunes?
    Thanks

    I've had the same problem as first posted. Tried the suggested solutions and none of them worked. I finally have found somethng that does work.
    In iTunes v.11.0.1.12,  I needed to get to the following screen before DELETE would work:
    In the uppper LEFT corner select Books.
    Then highlight/select the PDF file you wish to delete, and right click to get the menu to pop up.
    Now, select DELETE from the menu.

    how can I export a video that will loop indefinitely when played from a usb drive?

    As far as I know, PPro does not have that capability
    If you were creating a DVD in Encore, you could put an "end action" on the video timeline to itself... so at the end of the DVD video it would go back to the beginning
    I am not aware of any way to do that for a simple file

  • How do you transfer album art to the Zen Vision

    Quite a lot of my tracks have album art associated with them. If I transfer these tracks to my Zen Vision M, will the album art transfer automatically also? If not, how to I go about transferring album art? The album art does not appear as separate files in My Pictures, it seems to be embedded in the WMAs......

    Thanks for posts. The MediaExplorer way mentioned did not work for me either. So far it looks like Windows Media Player will transfer album art automatically when you copy music to your player using the 'sync' function, but I have yet to try this out. This would probably be the easiest way for most people, but remember to create your subfolders for your music first and transfer the track to the relevant one, as stuff can't bee moved around between folders once it's on your player (so annoying).

  • How do I turn off controls in the mini player?

    Hello, I have a question about the mini player. When I first installed iTunes, the mini player would only display the control icons when I moved the cusor over the player, with only the artwork displayed while the player was in use. Now, however, every time I use the mini player it always has the contorls on display. Is there a way to toggle the controls on and off so that they are only visible when I want them to be? For reference, the mini player always looks as it does below. When I first began using it only the artwork would be on display. I've tried reinstalling iTunes, but the player still looks the same (I did not do a full uninstall/reinstall however). Thanks for any help or suggestions.

    Hello moeszyslak,
    I would recommend testing to see if the issue is system wide, or user specific as the troubleshooting for each is different. Use this article:
    iTunes for Windows Vista or Windows 7: Troubleshooting unexpected quits, freezes, or launch issues
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ts1717.
    Create a New User Account
    When troubleshooting a variety of issues, it can be useful to determine if the issue affects a specific Windows user account or all accounts. Follow the steps below to create a new user account in Windows Vista or Windows 7:
    From the Start menu, choose Control Panel.
    Open Add or remove user accounts (If using the Classic View in Windows Vista, open User Accounts. Then open Manage another account).
    Select Create a new account and follow the instructions to complete the account setup process.
    Once the new account is created, choose     Log Off from the     Start menu.
    Log into the newly created user account.
    Open iTunes and determine whether the issue you were experiencing persists in this new user.
    If you see the same issue in the newly created user account, proceed to the System-wide troubleshootingsection below. If you do not experience the same issue, consult the User-specific troubleshooting section below.

  • HT3798 On iPod 160gb - how can I view album art full screen like in the menu half screen or photo slideshows?

    I remember responding to an apple customer satisfaction survey in 2009, when I purchased my iPod Classic. I suggested it should be possible to have album art viewed in full screen like in photo slideshows or how album art is presented on half the screen when the menu is navigated to the 'music' list. Does anyone know if apple has created an iPod Classic software update which includes this glaring omission?

    The progress bar is not the iPod disconnecting from the PC but rather the iPod reading in the library database from it's hard drive. It's safe to disconnect when told to.

  • How do you display album art on the N95 8Gb?

    Does anyone know how to make album art display when an album is playing on an N95 8Gb? It appears on some albums but not on others. I dragged my music folders from my itunes folder and in each album I have a small GIF or JPG file as the album art, but where do these go when the music files are dragged across - I can't find them anywhere on the phone, yet some of them display whereas others don't.
