Album art displays very slowly!

I hope someone can help me. I called AppleCare and some guy didn't even know what I was talking about. I have a lot of music I bought at the iTunes Store which is saved in the ITunes folder via artist, then album, then tracks. I have checked the icon preview button so that my album art will display on every track. Before I updated to Leopard 10.5.3, the redrawing of the album art was very fast; now however it is slow as molasses. I would appreciate any input on this issue. Thank you.

This is an update to my original post. It appears my iTunes Library file is corrupted, because when I created a new iTunes library file, all my art work on my tracks displayed very fast, no slowdown at all. Also when I logged in as a different user, same thing. No problems with my album art being displayed. Is there a way of fixing a corrupted iTunes library file? I have a lot of music, videos and TV shows, all neatly arranged in various playlists I created. Just to do it over again would take me weeks. Also since I've been backing my internal drive using Time Machine, can I go back and retrieve my iTunes library file before it became corrupted? Thank you for any help you can give me.

Album art displays very slowly; iTunes library file is corrupted?

Since I have updated to the latest version of Leopard, my album art in the iTunes music folder displays at a snail's pace, where before it was fast as lightning.

You should be able to retieve your pre-corrupted library file from TM, provided the corruption didn't happen to far back.

Large Album Art Display Problem

I accidentally pressed into the option provided by iPod nano that allows you to view the album art in a large size that takes up the screen. In turn, the other information and the length of the song disappeared, only to be replaced by the outline of the album (I didn't insert album art for much of them) How do I change the setting back? So I can view the information of the song again in one screen? (smaller album art, song name, album name, length of the song, etc.)
Thanks. I would really appreciate your help. I realize that this is a very, very minor problem because other people WANT the large album art display image to pop out. But I just can't seem to get it to reverse to the normal display. Thanks again!

Album Art Display on iTunes 10

When I saw that iTunes 10 brought back the "Digital Jukebox" browsing mode (that's the one in which the album artwork is shown on the right side of the song list for that album) I was very happy.
But the way it works in iTunes 7 is a mess. The sizes available for the album art are all way too small, and having the album and artist names shown on the right side of the album art is very messy.
I think the sleekest, most convenient display or browsing method iTunes has introduced to date was the iTunes 7 incarnation of the "Digital Jukebox". You can choose what size you want the album art to be, the album and artist info is shown BENEATH the album art, and the design of how it looks is the sleekest yet.
I'm wondering if anybody else misses this display mode and if there's any way to effectively convey to the Apple people that it would be a good idea to bring it back.
It would be grreat if iTunes was a bit more customizable in that sense: choosing colors for icons and having much more power over how your library is displayed.

First, go to View > as List.
Then use the search bar to your advantage. Type the name of the artist for the album at the top right. This will only show the songs pertaining to that artist/album. Then just Ctrl + A and edit multiple items and go from there
Hope that helps.

Where did the album art display go?

In iTunes 10.6 for Windows, the album art display in the Library column is gone. I can't, for the life of me, figure out how to put it back. For clarity's sake, I'm talking about the thumbnail at the bottom left corner, right under Playlists – the one that shows 'now-playing' album art or videos. What (hopefully simple) procedure am I missing, or otherwise doing wrong?
Thanks!

Photos are displayed very slowly in Photos app (IOS 8 running on iPad Air), when sliding them. Please: fix it. I'm very sad about IOS8

You are not speaking to Apple here. So none of us can "fix it."
TRy try quitting the Photos app followed by a reset of the ipad. To quit an app double click the Home button to reveal the row of recently used apps. Flick up on the page preview and it will fly away and disappear. That quits the app. Then Press and hold both the Home button and the Sleep/Wake button continuously until the Apple logo appears. Then release the button and let the device restart. You will not lose data doing this. It's like a computer reboot.

Wrong album art displaying for songs on my iPod Classic.

I am having a problem with my 160GB classic iPod. (6th gen. I believe, it's the first 160GB iPod to be released.)
It doesn't happen a lot, but I noticed wrong album art displaying for my songs on my iPod. Then when I check in itunes, the album art is correct. Also, I manually manage my music and videos. So when I check the album art from my ipod's hard-drive through itunes, the album art is correct as well.
I believe the problem happens when the iPod itself tries to find the album art images for the current song being played. It somehow gets jumbled and puts up a random album art image instead of the one it is supposed to.
One thing i noticed is this. Lets say I shuffle all my songs. Once I get up to a song with wrong album art, I skip pass it lets say about 5-10 songs, then I go back to it. The album art often corrects itself, and the right album art is displayed.
I looked around the forums here and see that other people are having similar problems with different kinds of iPods. Maybe it's a firmware issue?

I'm having the exact same issue on my iPod Classic. Haven't used this forum before - do experts provide feedback, or do we just hope that another user can suggest a cure? I haven't reformatted my iPod yet - huge pain, as I also manually manage my music - but will do that if no other solutions present themselves.

Album Art Display question...

Hello,
I am able to sync my songs onto my nano with the album art from ITunes, but when the song plays, the art on the screen is very small. I thought that it would fill the whole screen. Is there a setting or some way to get the album art to fill the entire screen? (I've read through the manual and searched these forums but was not able to find anything on this).
Thank you in advance!

Double click the centre select button to see a larger picture of the artwork. Click once again to revert to the 'now playing' screen'.

Album art display

Ipod 80 gig works fine, but.... With some albums, the tracks show the correct album art, but when I double click to have the art fill the entire display, a different album's art appears. It is only a problem for some of the albums on my ipod. Is there a way to correct this?

Give this a try, it usually sorts out wrong artwork problems:
1. Connect your iPod
2. Disable "Display album artwork" in iPod>Music tab and click Apply.
3. Syncronise the iPod with iTunes.
4. Re-enable "Display album artwork" in iPod>Music tab and click Apply.
5. Syncronise the iPod again.

Album art displays in ITunes but not on iPod for some album

Hi, I have setup album art on iTunes for my ipod, and in itunes all the art shows correctly.
However the iPOD just displays album art for only some of the albums, not all...
This is really frustrating Apple. How can I report or fix this problem?
Thanks
Simon

I have THE EXACT same problem. Except, I added all album art by hand, to my ipod playlist after hand-selecting all 356 songs to my nano. Only to find that when I attempted to transfer the album art to my nano even after checking and unchecking the album art option, it does not work. Does anyone know if the album art needs to be added to itunes before songs are put onto the nano?

Wrong Album Art Displayed

I could not find anyone who has the same problem as I do. When I play music on the iPod I love adding album art. However when I installed the latest update for the iPod I encountered a glitch when playing music on the device.
For example, if I decide to play Beck's album Odelay, a different album art is displayed on all songs in the album. However if I change the iPod screen to album art only while the song is playing, the correct album art is displayed. I don't think that this is an iTunes bug as this problem does not occur on iTunes. It occurs only on my iPod.
Is there a way to fix this bug?

Try this, it usually sorts out incorrect artwork being displayed:
1. Connect your iPod
2. Disable "Display album artwork" in iPod>Music tab and click Apply.
3. Syncronise the iPod with iTunes.
4. Re-enable "Display album artwork" in iPod>Music tab and click Apply.
5. Syncronise the iPod again.

Wrong Album Art Displaying

I have the iPhone 3g and updated to 2.2. Now, when I play music, the wrong album art is displayed. It doesn't happen on every song, and I checked the song information in iTunes on my Mac and they are right. When I play it on my computer, the album artwork is fine.
Does anyone know how to fix this? Thanks for the help!

That's strange - I find this problem on iTunes. I include the album art correctly, but sometime later a different album cover appears for the same song. I don't know how this happens.

1 CD, compilation CD, 16 artists, 16 album art displays (of same picture)

I have a CD of 16 songs, a "best of" CD, and when I import it to iTunes, everything is fine save for the album artwork. When I put iTunes in album art view, I see 16 entries. Now I have seen this before on other CDs where I would just make sure the title is consistent, the artist name is consistent (in this case, I am using "Various Artists" and then putting the individual name in Album Artist"). I also checked "Compliation" in the "info" banner. I re-imported the CD using iTunes thinking that would make a difference but it hasn't.
This is the only CD in my collection I have not been able to fix. Other fixes, as I have tried above, have worked for several similar problematic listings.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Rob - When you selected "Compilation" - did you have all of the tracks selected? If so, when you checked the Compilation box, did you make sure it said "YES"?
The Multiple Item Information pane is a little tricksy - checking the box doesn't necessarily select anything - what it does is tell iTunes to change the information. For example, you want to delete all album art - you would do this by checking the tickbox next to the Artwork box and closing the Info pane. That will tell iTunes to update each of the Song Files and delete all applied artwork. Same thing with Compliation - just ticking the box without changing the selection may result in the opposite of what you intended.
Hope this helps,
Lita

Default album art display setting?

Is there a way to set the default song display setting to be the full screen album artwork? I use the ipod while driving and would rather not have text on teh screen, unless I am in a position to read it, if desired. I have the latest Itunes, for Windows XP
Thank you very much
STEVE

With the iPod with color display? The answer is no. When you select the larger image, after a few seconds it reverts to the "now playing" screen.
Only the newer model iPods have the ability to keep the larger artwork picture displayed until such time as the centre button is pressed again.

JSF pages displaying very slowly?

As we are moving into production, I'm noticing the JSF-based web pages are displaying / painting on the screen very slow in some cases - especially the menus and graphical buttons. Has anyone else experienced this and are there any suggested performance improvements?
Once a page is accessed once, the next time it is accessed performance is much better due to caching. I would like to try to use afc:cache around the menu items and graphic buttons, but have a question about this - if for example a command button has setActionListeners with EL bindings, is it possible to use afc:cache (my concern is the same binding values will be cached or shared across different user sessions - see below for example).
<af:commandButton id="cmdSearch"
actionListener="#{bindings.FindMethod.execute}"
text="Search">
<af:setActionListener from="#{backing_bean1.keywordSearchCriteria}"
to="#{bindings.keywords.inputValue}"/>
</af:commandButton>

Hi,
don't think that this snippet gets cached because it dynamically references data that is not part of the page.
