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:

Some album art does not show!!!

Running iTunes 8 and have converted my whole CD collection using Easy CD Extractor. The files are converted to AAC+ and are easily imported into iTunes using the Add Folder... BUT the funny thing is that when I then try to import album arts which I have scanned from my CD:s original covers there are some albums that will not show even if I am using exactly the same procedure for every other imported song, the same file format (jpeg), same resolution and size How is it possible that a few of my albums will not show any album art even if they are processed exactly the same way as all the other CD:s in my collection??? I have tried both drag and drop, as well as doing it from within the "Info... dialogue".

Thanks Katrina, I did try this (or part of it before I saw your link to the excellent article on how to do this properly). But I have a couple of problems with this explanation (which could still be correct). First when I was iTunes in Vista in "normal"-mode, I was still able to add album arts to most of my albums (all comming from my CD:s, ripped with the same software, etc) and residing in the same folder (Music)... So how is it possible that SOME of my music files are "locked", and as you suggest, read-only, and some are not??? This might still be "correct", it is possible, but then it is clearly a bug in Vista. Secondly I am the only user of this computer, logged in as an Adminstrator. Still, Vista could of course mark some of my music files as read only, but I still concider that as a bug on the Vista part.
What is even more annoying is that iTunes did not notified me that it could add the album art, it just didn't without explanation, the same did TagScanner. Only MP3Tag did give me feed back that it could not write the album art to the file. I assume it would not be such a difficult task to add a feature to iTunes that will notify the user that it is unable to add album art because of this and that, and suggest (like you did) a way to solve the problem...

Album art does not show on iPod

Only the album art from Apple Store purchase is showing up on my iPod. Any art that I imported to iTunes for my own cd's does not show on the iPod. Some of the art came from the Apple "get album art" some I got off the net.
I have iPod v1.2.
Thanx for any thoughts

Try to disable album art on your iPod, then sync it,
then enable artwork again, sync it again and it
should be okay...assuming all the album art appears
in iTunes.
I've had this same problem and it's worked for me.
I manually add songs onto my Ipod and then delete them from Itunes.
Wouldn't syncing my Ipod erase all the songs that are currently on it only adding what is currently in my Itunes Library?

Artwork or album art does not show??

Hi there,
I have 2 PC's running iTunes 6;
W2K SP4 running 6.0.4.2
XP SP2 running 6.0.5.20
On the W2K machine when I go to Edit/Show Artwork the artwork box opens up as expected in the lower left hand corner and when I highlight a track an image showing a dotted outline and the words 'Drag album artwork here' appears in the artwork window.
This works with no problems.
On the XP machine when I go to Edit/Show Artwork the artwork box opens up but when I highlight a track the 'Drag artwork image here' does not show and I am unable to drag an image there.
If I right-click the track and Get Info/Artwork I can either drag or browse for an image which will then show up in the Get Info/Artwork window.
However this image however can't be saved and does not show in the Show Artwork box afterwards.
Have I missed something fundamental?
Thanks & regards,
-=Glyn=-

No-one?
I thought I had sorted it but it was too good to be true...
When I clicked the small play gadget in the Show Artwork window in the bottom left of the iTunes window the text in it's titlebar changed from 'Now Playing' to 'Selected Song' and the 'Drag Album Artwork Here' text with squared, dotted line appeared.
I then dragged my artwork into it and it showed - yay!
However when I right-clicked on the track and chose 'Get Info' the artwork didn't show there although it was still in the Show Artwork window.
And when I moved off the highlighted track to the next track and and went back the artwork had gone from the Show Artwork window.
What the **** is going on here?
Thanks & regards,
-=Glyn=-

Album Art does not show when you Manually Manage your ipod

I currently have a 80gb ipod using itunes7 and when i add mp3s with artwork to my ipod manually the artwork does not appear. the option to display album artwork is one. if i change the settings so that my ipod syncs with itunes, and i drag the same mp3 to my library (then sync the ipod), the artwork will then appear.
the artwork does appear when i right click on the song and "get info"
i have already tried disabling then re-enabling the "display album artwork" setting. when enabled i waited for the "optimizing artwork" for quite a bit, disconnected and there was still no artwork showing.
is there a setting i am missing or is this just a bug? using the library is NOT an option for me.

I've had the same issue -- but you'll find when you disconnect the iPod and try to play the albums on your iPod itself that the artwork is actually there on the iPod. It just doesn't show in iTunes when you select info on particular songs on your iPod.

Album art does not show up??

I have a 30gb ipod photo and its wierd.. i sent it in for repair cause of an unrelated issue but now when i update my ipod... the album art doesnt show up for some songs even though its physically there on my computer and the art checkbox is checked. i have too much music on my computer for my ipod so i update via playlist, the only conclusion i could ammount to is that i am using Smart playlists but even the songs that show the art are from the smart playlists. i dont know what i should do? if anybody can help me it would be amazing!

Michael,
You may want to uncheck that box you refer to, click okay, and eject your iPod. Then go back and recheck the box.
If this doesn't work, you may want to restore...

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!

When using photoshop elements as editor in iPhoto the pic does not show up when PS opens

When using photoshop elements as editor in iPhoto the pic does not show up when PS opens

Ralph9430 offers a good suggestion. But you may need to do this before taking his advice:
Check in iPhoto's Preferences (which you can open from the iPhoto menu). Look in General, and make sure "Connecting Camera Opens" is set to "Image Capture").
If it is set to "iPhoto", you won't be able to get to Image Capture easily.

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 artwork does not show on iphone 4

Does anyone have any solutions of why when you sync your iphone 4 the album artwork does not show in your play lists? This has happened since I have updated to the ISO.5.0.1? Any ideas? Thanks.

Which version of Edge are you using?
Please update to the latest version of Edge which is 2014.1.1 if it's not already, and then try to reproduce this issue.

I have just downloaded a free app and there is no icon and it will not open from the list even tho it appears to have downloaded and the "open" button is available. Does not show up when I search for it. Plenty of memory . . .

I Have an iPad mini running iOS 7.1.2, I downloaded a new app and it's icon does not appear anywhere ( have ~ 180 apps so not at limit) and it won't open from the purchased apps list. It does not show up when I search for it so can't open t that way either. It doesn't require iOS 8. Can't delete and reinstall, cause not icon. This is not a normal "app won't open" question. it doesn't start the. Stop it just doesn't seem to exist. Any help is appreciated

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.

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.
