Album Art doesn't work

Recently, when I put album art on the iPod, it won't recognize it. Roughly about 2/3 of the songs on the iPod will display the art but the other fraction doesn't even recognize it. It shows up fine in iTunes, both on the hard drive and the iPod and I've already tried unchecking and rechecking the "Display Album Artwork..." box and nothing works. This problem only occurs to newer additions, but not to all of them. If it's any help, I get all my artwork from Amazon. Thanks

Are the songs on your computer?
You could use one of these options to move the music back onto your computer before you restore...

You also can search the Discussions and the Internet (via Google) for more options.
Also, there are a few other options in that user tip (other than restoring or unchecking and rechecking the display artwork option).

Get Album Art doesn't work

I've been confused by this since v.7 came out but it hasn't really bugged me till now.. but the Get Album Artwork function simply doesn't work for me. It doesn't do a **** thing. I click it and it seems like iTunes doesn't even do anything, and album artwork certainly does not appear in my library. Yes, I'm logged in to my iTS account.
Am I doing something wrong here? I haven't really been able to find someone else who has this problem.

GM Axis,
I can understand your frustration, and since most of my music was purchased from the iTunes Store, and tend to be only 1 genre, I sat down with my wife's computer and her iTunes Library.
Once I got the tags for album and artist straightened out, we were able to find 100 out of 104 albums via the iTunes Store. However, the key was correcting spelling, and album names. For example: My son imported a bunch of Elvis CDs after hearing him in Lilo and Stitch. He spelled Presley as Prezley. Correcting the tags with Get Info takes a while. You can select all the songs from a specific album and Get info on that all at once, and change multiple items at once.
The others include B-side singles never released in the US we imported from tape, and an album by a group that was never on CD, and the regional label is out of business.

My iPod album art doesn't work anymore

Ever since I updated to the latest iPod software (about 2 months ago), every new album I have put into my iPod has scratchy album art (looks scrambeled, and blue). My old album art however (for songs put in before the update), still looks good, and any other uploaded photo looks fine. Anyone know the problem?

Take Care

If you select multiple songs and choose Get Info, the Album Art box will always be blank, even if the individual songs each have the same common Art. This is expected behavior.
Copying the Art directly to the iPod will never work. If your iTunes displays the Art fine, and the nano doesn't, your problem is likely to be a firmware issue with the iPod. I would suggest performing a "restore" and then try again. Otherwise, if issues remain, reinstall iTunes if more than one XP user is affected.

Everytime I update my ipod - loading new songs - my Album art doesn't show

I don't know if this has been happening to other ppl, but ever since I updated my ipod to newer version of OS4, my album art doesn't show up when it locks to home screen. When I go into music - it shows that the album art is there, but when I lock my ipod, the album art doesn't show up. But when I turn off and on again, it works again. It's just really annoying to always turn off my ipod and on again. And also I've noticed that after updating my ipod (loading new songs) it seems really slow - but when I turn if off and on again - it works normally.
I Don't have lots of songs or movies - I have used a little over half of the space. It's just that these things only happened right after I updated my OS to newer iOS4!
Can either someone make a better iOS4 or something?

Try deleting the songs from your iPod, then in your iTunes library delete the album art and reload the album art back to the songs and put them back on your iPod.

Album art doesn't automatically download after import

Whenever I import a new C.D., the album art for that album doesn't automatically download, even though I have that option checked as yes in my iTunes preferences. So, I wind up having to get the album art myself. What gives? Anyone else having similar problems? Any suggestions?

Using windows version, I can't update multiple songs either. Neither drag-and-drop from an IE window or copy&paste work when several songs are highlighted, but it works fine when it's only one. I haven't tried to update multiple via the "info" screen yet (at work atm). It seems to affect both mac and PC :/ it worked fine on v6.

Album shuffle doesn't work

For some reason, selecting shuffle by album doesn't work for me. In fact, all of the three shuffle by options seem have the same effect; shuffling by song.
whats going on? shuffle worked fine in 4.9. what did apple do to mess up a perfectly working shuffle feature? Am I missing something, or are other people having this problem?
On a similar note, I'd like to be able to select what type of shuffle I want by playlist, so I don't need to go into preferences to switch that when I change playlists.

Album shuffle is currently only working if you have the smart shuffle slider exactly in the middle (ie, "random"). If you move the smart shuffle slider in either direction it causes album shuffle to instead become "song shuffle".
So, place the slider back in the middle and it should work just like it did in 4.9.

Album art doesn't stick

When I cut and paste album art into the get info window it doesn't show up the next time I get info even though image shows in the album list. Why is this?

If the purchases are from iTunes you should be able to download them again for free (if supported in your region) from the iTunes Store's "Purchased" tab as outlined in the support document, below.

Alternatively, in iTunes 11, you can simply select "View" from the menu bar and select "Show Music in the Cloud" to show music not locally stored on your computer but stored in iTunes in the Cloud.

IPod scrambles the album art & doesn't play music, vids or pics

i bought this ipod brand new about a month ago from apple. It has messed up three times since. What happens is that it just stops working. I can't view any pics, video or listen to music. my cover flow turns each album cover to rondom colors all scrambled up. At the main menue when i go over pics, music or video it shows me the picture. but it won't play anything. When i reset it and put everything back on it it works......for a week or two. I think i will return it but if there is anything i could otherwise do please say so
thanks!!!!!!!!

wait... i just had to redownload the music from the itunes store -_-

Album Shuffle Doesn't Work Properly When Albums Have The Same Name

I'm using the latest versions of iTunes 7.0.2 and 5.5G iPod v1.2.1, but this problem has existed in (as far as I know) all iPods to date. It certainly still continues to occur on the latest iPod.
Example of the problem: I have many Albums by different Artists. I listen to them on my iPod by using "Album Shuffle" which plays the contents of an album in sequential order, but successive albums in random order. This is good when it works. However, iTunes and iPod have a problem when more than 1 album has the same name. So, let's say you have 3 albums by 3 different groups (Band A, B, and C), all called "Greatest Hits". The expected behaviour is that "Greatest Hits by Band A will play tracks 1-10, then another random album, and then sometime later, the album "Greatest Hits" by Band C will play tracks 1-15. That would be good, but this does not happen. Here's what actually happens:
Some Album / Band X / Track 14
Some Album / Band X / Track 15
Some Album / Band X / Track 16
Greatest Hits / Band A / Track 1
Greatest Hits / Band B / Track 1
Greatest Hits / Band C / Track 1
Greatest Hits / Band B / Track 2
Greatest Hits / Band A / Track 2
Greatest Hits / Band C / Track 2
Greatest Hits / Band B / Track 3
Greatest Hits / Band C / Track 3
Greatest Hits / Band A / Track 3
... (until all "Greatest Hits" tracks by Bands A, B, and C have finished)
Another Album / Band Z / Track 1
Another Album / Band Z / Track 2
Another Album / Band Z / Track 3
As you can see, the iPod treats all 3 "Greatest Hits" as one humungous album. Now, until version 7, even iTunes appeared to be pretty confused about this, but with the latest version added the "Album Artist" tag (which I've applied correctly to all tracks in my Library), so that it can identify albums as separate entities properly, even if they have the same name. (This was necessary for Cover Flow to work.) Sadly, this logic has not made it to the iPod, and we still have the crazy playback situation above.
Since the first day I bought my first iPod back in 2002, I've always used Album Shuffle, and this has always been a problem. I was surprised to find that even the latest iPod still hasn't fixed this, even though iTunes seems to have. Apple, please could you fix this?
iPod 5.5G, iTunes 7.0.2 Mac OS X (10.4.8)
Power Mac G5 Dual 2.3 GHz Mac OS X (10.4.8)

BTW, I'm not looking for workarounds that involve renaming albums. What if I have 158 "Greatest Hits" albums?

Get Album Artwork, doesn't work.

After upgrading to Yosemite and downloading the 12.0.1 update for itunes, I am no long able to download artwork for tracks. Nothing happens when i right-click and press Get Album Artwork. Even tracks I have previously downloaded artwork dont work, if i go delete the artwork for something its gone, i can only add it back manually.

Same here!

"Completing My Album" function doesn't work

I bought a song about 10 days ago and now want to buy the rest of the album. Several days ago, when, I checked on the album, iTunes offered me the reduced price after giving me credit for the song already purchased. But when I checked yesterday and this morning -- same computer, same iTunes account -- no reduced price is offered. Nor does the album appear when I click on the "Complete My Album" link on my iTunes store home page. Any suggestions?
Thanks.

This is so incredibly frustrating... I have bought 6 singles as they came out for an album, once the album came out, I only got credit for TWO songs. So now, iTunes wants to charge me 10.01 for something that should only cost 6.05!!

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!
