Album Art Does Not Resize in Album Art Panel

For some reason some of my album art does not fill up or resize when I resize the album art panel (the lower left hand side of itunes). This happens only with some, not all, of my art. Some additional background:
- No problem with album art in cover flow or grid views
- album art was embedded in file by another program (not itunes)
- Occurs in itunes 7 and itunes 8
- for the album art that is a problem, the art does not fill in the album art panel and therefore when i resize the panel, it just stays the same size.

I still don't understand why it would scale in the other views (cover flow and list view)
Who knows? The artwork preview panel pre-dates Cover Flow, so when Cover Flow was intoduced and made to scale art up as well as down, perhaps nobody considered revisiting the code for the artwork panel to make it work the same way. However, I find the existing behaviour quite handy for spotting when I have images that are too small, since these generally don't scale well. I have my artwork panel set to fit my minimum acceptable size of 200x200 pixels so if I ever notice a white border I know to try and find better quality art.

When I copy an artist over to itunes and that particular album has multiple albums, it does not separate the albums but lines up all of the songs...such as all the 1's..then 2's and so on. How do I fix that?s

Should that read "when I copy an artist over to itunes and that particular artist has multiple albums," because if not, I don't understand?
If I'm right about that, I'm still not really clear at all about what you're doing. Where are you importing these songs and albums from? Is it existing songs files and if so, what format are they in?

Album artwork does not appear in album list or grid

I added album artwork (did get info then copy and paste) and it shows up fine in cover flow but does not appear in album list or grid view.
What am I doing wrong? Artwork files were scanned from album covers that I have.

Your album artwork cache may be corrupt. Provided most, if not all, of your artwork is embedded you can simply delete the Album Artwork folder that you will find inside your main iTunes folder and then scroll slowly through the library in Grid/Albums mode to rebuild it. Any images that were "downloaded" rather than embedded will need to be reacquired.
Threre are separate folders for the downloaded and cached images, but I've always gone for a complete rebuild so I don't know it would work to delete just the cached folder.

Album Shuffle does not play entire album

I imported my entire album collection in to iTunes. 99% ripped years ago as MP3 before iPods and iTune. The albums display correctly as one with one cover art. I use Album shuffle to listen to my collection. For several albums, iTunes plays one or several tracks and then moves on to another album. It will at a later time come back to the album and play other track or group or tracks like it thinks it is another album. I have checked the info for the album and everything looks good. No skips track set. They are also not compilation, tribute or greatest hits albums.
Any suggestions?

Album shuffle will go to a song and play the remainder of that album in order. When done, it will go to another song at random, and play the remainder of that album in order.
If it goes to the 4th song it plays from that point to the end so songs 1-3 won't get played unless it lands on one of those songs when changing albums.

My album art does not make it onto my iPhone 4S when I drag music over from my iMax in iTunes.

I have an iPhone 4S and the latest iMac. I manually manage my content on my iPhone - I don't have anything automatically sync on it. But when I drag music over to my iPhone the album art does not travel with it. I have most of my audio in AIFF format in iTunes - other than stuff I buy digitally. I have found that once the audio is over on my phone, I then have to copy the artwork over not once but TWICE before it will update on the phone and show up. It does work though and that is fine.
My problem now is I purchase digital 'compilations' where each track has a different album cover because they come from different albums. I just dragged over 250+ tracks and I'm not going to go in 1 by 1 and copy the album covers over twice for each track.
My phone used to update properly but in the last few months it stopped doing it properly so I'm wondering if there is something that needs to be reset on it to get it to work properly again.
I have all the files on my iPhone coverted to 128K for size issues and all my files in iTunes are at least 320K or higher so they all get down-converted when they are moved onto the iPhone. I assume the artwork is somehow getting 'lost' in this conversion process.
Thanks,
Rob

Cool - yeah I grabbed that script as well. Going to go through my library and run that one as well. Seems to only be able to handle X amount of tracks at a time so will have to do it step by step. I have about 21000 tracks in my library and it didn't like doing all at one time
Its fine if it compresses the images a bit - not a big deal. Its only on my phone so its fine. I'm probably a bit anal about things but I hate having tracks on my phone with no images - if there are images available.
Thanks again!

IPod album art does not match song

Whenever I play songs on my iPod the album art is messed up. The art does not show up with the correct song and I don't know what to do. I have checked and all of the album art is correct on the computer. I don't know what is wrong with my iPod and I would like to be able to solve this problem without having to send my iPod out to Apple. Any advice would be helpful. Thank you.

If you have an iTunes store account, you can use the "get album artwork" option in iTunes. You don't actually need to purchase anything from the iTunes store, just to have or create an account. Provided that the album or song for which you are looking to add artwork is available for sale in the store, iTunes will find it and add it to your library.
If you go to preferences/general in iTunes and check the box marked "automatically download missing album artwork", it will automatically add the artwork when you import a CD into iTunes.
One downside to this is that if you have an album or song misspelled in your iTunes library, it may not be found by iTunes because it will be looking for a match.
See: How to add artwork using iTunes.
If you don't have an account or don't want to create one, here are a couple of other methods.
First off, make sure you have "show album art" enabled in iPod options.
Highlight a song or album in iTunes, then right click on it and select the "get album artwork" option.  Go to Google Image Search and type in the artist/album name and click on search images.   Double click on a picture you like, then at the top of that page click on "see full size image".   When you get that image, simply copy/paste it into the space for album artwork in iTunes.   Make sure you select the album in the browser of iTunes before you copy/paste.   You'd be surprised what Google Images can bring up. There are literally millions, and even obscure album artwork can be found.
In the unlikely event that Google can’t find an image, you can also get artwork from Amazon.
If you’re happy using images from Amazon, and don’t want to copy/paste, then iTunes Art Importer is a nice free program to do it for you.

Album Art does not transfer

My new iPod 5th gen is working smashingly except for the fact that all my new downloaded album art from iTunes 7 isn't transfering over. It's weird because occasionally some album art shows up on the iPod but definately not often and even when it does not all of the art I have on my PC shows up. Anybody dealing with this problem or have a solution?
iPod 5th Gen 30 GB Windows XP

I was having issues before. The easiest way to get the album art to transfer over is to delete everything on the iPod, make sure everything has art that you want to in itunes, and then retransfer all the music back to the ipod. Sometimes when it updates songs, it doesn't update all the information.

Album art does not match artist

About 50% of the album art does not match the artist titles on the iPod. In iTunes they are fine. I've reset and resynced. Any ideas?
thanks

If your iPod is set to update automatically then try this:
iTunes 6
1. Connect your iPod
2. Disable "Show Album art" in iTunes>Edit>Preferences>iPod.
3. Syncronise the iPod with iTunes. (Disconnecting and then reconnecting your iPod will do the trick)
4. Re-enable "Show Album Art" in iTunes>Edit>Preferences>iPod.
5. Syncronise the iPod again.
iTunes 7
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 does not show up when using shuffle.

When I turn on shuffle in my 80gb Classic the album art does not show up.
It is about 50/50 some songs will show art and some will not. The art that did not show up the last time I shuffled will show up this time. It is not consistant. When I am not in shuffle the art always shows up just fine.
Anyone having this problem? Any ideas on how to stop this from happening? Thanks, Robert

You might also recreate your iTunes library on your computer... and then when you connect your iPod you should be presented with a dialogue asking you to erase & sync the iPod. Click the erase & sync button (provided your songs are still in iTunes).
Here's how to recreate your library:

HT1409 Album Art Does Not Work With WAV Files

I seem to have discovered that album artwork does not "stick" to files in WAV format. Is this true? If so, it should be mentioned in this article.
Thanks!

Hi there,
I have started a thread about this in the Finder and Dock category:

It looks as if we're not the only ones.

Ipod failing to sync properly and cover art does not copy

Hello. My ipod wont sync properly, fails after about 10 albums with unknown error -53, and album cover art does not copy (fine in itunes). Have restored etc. Have uninstalled and reinstalled itunes software etc.
Have tried apple support helpline; send ipod off twice, just received replacement new/refurbished ipod today (as on 2nd attempt apple technicians found a problem they called "specific performance symptoms" with the old one).
New replacement one has the same problem as old one!
Has anyone seen this problem or had any joy getting a refund?... Any help much appreciated, thanks.

Select the iPod in iTunes.
Click the Music tab.
Are you selecting Sync all playlists?
Or if you are choosing Selected p[laylist, mkae sure all the playlists you want to sync are checked.

After I add a cd to my library the cover art does not come up haw do I add it?

After I import a CD into my music library the cover art does not appear, and when I try to add the cover art it says that it is not available, when look it up I can locate the cover art but it will not import. How do I get the album cover art?

Have you tried Settings>Privacy>Location Services and see if you can turn it on in there?
Obviously it has to be an app that works with location services so if it is and nothing else works, delete the app and download it again to make it ask again if you want to allow your location to be used with it.

I get really frustrated from this! how can i make this right!
I want the ZEN to show the albums like in WINDOWS XP! how hard can this be!!!
Thanks for the help in advance!
Greetz!

Hi,
The Creative ZEN organizes songs according to the ID3tag of the music file, not by folders. If you want to arrange the music files in the order you want, please check and make sure that the music files are tagged properly. You may need a third-party tag editor to do this.

Album view does not render correctly after synced changes

I was correcting the album rendering of some soundtrack albums today and noticed that albums do not group correctly across computers when the metadata is synced using Match. I am hoping someone can confirm they get the same results and possibly offer a fix.
Problem
Forcing a compilation album to render as a single album instead of multiple albums by setting the "Album Artist" and "Part of Compilation" fields does not sync across computers despite the fact that all of the relevant metadata syncs correctly.
Setup
Laptop and Desktop sitting next to each other. Both running Windows 8.1 and iTunes 11.1.3.8 logged into the same iTunes account for all services. (I am curious about running the experiment on all Macs or cross-platform, but all I have are PCs.)
Experiment
Step 1- Pick an album with various artists such as a soundtrack and confirm that it renders as one complete album in "Album" view in iTunes on both computers.
Step 2- Using the desktop, select all songs on the album and change the "Album Artist" field to be blank on all of them by selecting that field and removing the text in that field. Also set "Part of Compilation" on the "Options" tab to "No". Click OK and the album should be rendered as multiple albums for each track on the soundtrack. It is easiest to see this by staying in "Album" view and searching for the album name in the search tool in the upper right corner of iTunes.
Step 3- Go to the laptop and search for the album name in the "Album" view. It will still be rendered as 1 album instead of multiple albums for each track as it is on the desktop. Click on any song on the album and confirm that the "Album Artist" field is blank and "Part of Compilation" is clear (the metadata should sync within a few seconds). With these settings, the album should render as multiple tracks- not a single album. Closing and re-opening iTunes, updating Match or updating Genius does not re-render the album view as separate albums.
Step 4- Using the laptop, set the "Album Artist" field back to "Various Artists". The desktop will get that update, but not re-render the album as single album. The only way to "fix" the desktop is to reset the "Album Artist" field to "Various Artists" from the desktop.
My Conclusion
iTunes renders album views only when a change is made that would result in a change to the view and that rendering is only stored locally. iTunes does not correctly update album rendering when new meta-data that should cause a change in the view is received via Match. This is a problem because you cannot fix an album rendering on one computer and have that correction sync to your other computers. You have to "fix" the view on each computer individually.
Possible Workaround
Turn off iTunes Match and remove the iTunes database and all music on all computers but one. Using the one computer, make all required fixes and then recreate the iTunes database using Match on each of the other computers.
Any help or comments is much appreciated.

I have the same problem with PDFs created in Illustrator CS3. The bitmaps inside the PDF get rendered wrongly -- inverted or decolored.
One fix is to use ZIP instead of JPEG for the compression method when saving the file as an Adobe PDF.
I think it is a bug in Preview 5 (already filed it with Apple). With Preview 4.2 (Leopard) or using Acrobat 8.1.3, the PDF renders fine.

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.
