Album art gone

On itunes, it shows all of the album art perfectly fine, until today when i synced my phone and about 20% of the album art is gone on various albums. i didnt update my phone or anything, it just randomly disappeared and wont seem to come back even after trying to re sync it

I finally had to restore iOS 8 on my iPhone, and then I restored from my backup.  Everything is fixed now.  All music synced without issue, and iTunes even seemed more stable while syncing. I guess iOS 8 didn't install correctly the first time.
My iPhone seems to be running better now too.
I'd recommend reinstalling iOS 8, if you're having trouble.  It fixed all of my problems, hopefully it can fix yours too.

  • Reset iPod = videos unplayable, album art gone?

    i'm not sure if this is supposed to happen, but every time i reset my iPod (menu and middle button) all my videos disappear from the Video section in my iPod. When i check in iTunes, i can still see the video files, but the little TV icon beside them indicating that they are video are gone, and they just play as sound files.
    Also, all the album art and lyrics i had for my normal songs don't display anymore. But i can still see them in iTunes.
    has anyone had this problem? is there a way to reset the iPod without this happening?
    thanks

    Try restoring the iPod. Then, after a restore, try resetting your iPod.

  • Delete multiple tracks, Different album art gone in 12

    so in all previous versions of iTunes i was able to delete album artwork from a bunch of files at once that had different artwork. Now it seems in iTunes 12 I can only do multiple IF the artwork is all the same,
    for example, i download 8 different tracks from all different artist that have all different artwork. I don't want any artwork at all so I was able to select all, get info, hit album art and hit delete, it deleted for all. I can no longer do this. i can only do it on a per track basis OR for tracks that all have the exact same artwork like in 1 album.
    Back to iTunes 11 for now i guess unless some figured out a way around this

    When I used the 'Get Album Artwork' command in iTunes the actual song files were locked within finder. I do this to ensure that no track information accidentally gets altered when playing (I have over 2000 albums ripped from CDs and I'm a bit obsessive when it comes to accurate album info!).
    With this in mind, it seems to me that the artwork was not actually embedded in the audio file itself. It seems that the artwork is stored in the 'Album Artwork' folder within the 'iTunes' folder in my Home folder.
    The artwork for the album in question has actually gone from within iTunes - so there is nothing to delete. It is within the finder that it can be seen as a preview thumbnail on the audio file.
    Upon further inspection I realise that the album I am having this problem with is the only album I viewed in the finder before deleting the artwork through iTunes. These preview thumbnails seem to have been generated while the artwork was present in iTunes but still persist even though the artwork is no longer there.

  • Bluetooth Problems after IOS7 Update (on screen album art gone)

    Before updateing my Iphone with IOS7 my bluetooth connection in my 2013 Toyota Tacoma was flawless. Now after the update i am having problems and would like to see if someone has any suggestions for me to clear this up.
    Before the update i would get my album art or general art from where i was or what i was listening to on my head unit in my truck. ie: if i was listening to a song... the album it was on would appear on my screen... or if i was listneing to sirius via my phone and bluetooth... i would get the sirius logo or channel logo on the screen just to the left of the song or channel details.
    now after the update all i am getting in the small box is the blue tooth logo... that is it... what happened?
    i have tried the unpairing and the repairing... but nothing workes... can anyone help me?
    Thanks!

  • IPod Music and Album Art gone haywire after restore/updates/sync

    First post !
    Since my PC (Win7Pro 64bit) had SP1 installed, iPod Touch (2G) is going nuts. Sent to Apple - latest OS and iTunes (64bit)installed and all OK they said - but now when syncing from iTunes,Album Artwork is gobble-de-gook and some music jumps to next song part way (1/2) through playing. Some tracks have wrong names and some have no artwork at all.
    Have restored (as per Apple Cust.Support) and tried to resync but still all over the place. Still under warranty but they found no fault at Service.
    Easy to blame M/Soft but every other thing attached works fine (Nokia,Samsung,Logitech, etc.) Any ideas or help would be appreciated. Thankyou.

    did you ever find a resolution to this? i have almost the same issue on my iPhone. thanks

  • Album Art on iPod touch gone

    On my W7 PC I moved my Music foder to a different drive. From C to D using a W7 tool to do the move. Everything is perfect in my iTunes, the music plays and all the info and Album Art covers are OK.
    However, on my iPod touch, although the music is all there and plays correctly, the Cover Flow just shows the Note icon. No album art. I tried all kinds of syncing but it does not show up.
    Please help.
    Thanks

    No, the backup should only cover stuff like the data & settings related to your apps. The apps themselves and any media remain in the iTunes library. After restoring the iPod it should be possible to restore the device from the backup and have all the settings and data come back. I've done a full restore once on my iPhone and that went OK but there's always a risk that you'll have to go back to an "as new" setup. Once the device is restored the media library will be rebuilt from scratch which should repair any issues you currently have with the artwork cache.

  • Album Art Work and Playlists are Gone!

    I reformatted my computer and when I connected my ipod nothing came up. So I had to download itunes agian and it came up blank. Everything is still on my ipod, art work and all. But after I had to manually transfer from the ipod back to itunes, only a portion of my music could be moved. None of my album art work or playlist are available anymore. I spent hours creating this stuff and have to start over again. So what's the the deal? Ipod or itunes has some sort of clause that if you buy a new computer or format your old one you're screwed? Any comments?

    So you reformat your computer and then are surprised that after you reinstall iTunes you get an empty library?
    Anyway...

  • Why this new version of iTunes doesn't have Album Art or It didn't show up?

    Why this new version of iTunes doesn't have Album Art or It didn't show up?
    Also, in my iPod Touch 4th, it erase all album art from my iPod, then i tried to put again a new Album Art, ...download again from the image sites and still ...it didn't show up.? What a waste!
    I waste all my time to set all album art on my iPod, then it just gone. kindly pls fix this issue. hate this new version of iTunes, so complicated.
    The first thing i saw after i install new version of iTunes, it showed only music files. I don't know where to look for the old version of Sidebar. I keep on trying to look for it where I can see or any sign off button just to show up this stupid SideBar. Also, why i couldn't find? The "Menu Bar" is also hide!
    Until i found out in "View" tab. Then i saw the Show Sidebar. Question? why do you need to hide that Side Bar? For what?. it is so so so complicated specially to those people who can't relate for this. (Also the button (from previous iTunes) to show the Album Art, now it's gone. I check every Tab, but there's no way to see the Album Art.)
    Another comment. I download also some of my songs to my iPod, I wasted my time to collect all of my favorite music files. Also some are came from CD's and friends. I had all that favorite music in my iPod. Then the version iOS 5.+ came then I updated my iPod, another options to save files (iCloud) but I think there are something that I MISS about updating my iPod. Then suddenly I checked my iPod... all music (with Album Arts) are gone. All Apps are Gone. Videos as well.
    If you don't know how to use that iCloud (with only 5GB storage), you'll gonna miss/lost everything.
    Then I start all over again, i still have my BACK UP, good to have that. Now it's all set until I update the latest iOS 6. And another version of iTunes.
    Then I realized my computer getting slow. I uninstalled it. My laptop started to work fast again. Then I download again the iTunes. So now I know, it has the ability to slow my computer. Everytime I turn on my iTunes, it hang. (Not Responding). Solution... CTRL+ALT+DELETE. Then every second time to open the iTunes, and it works. (it means, to open iTunes, need twice)
    Then suddenly my laptop is not working. All my files has been corrupted. My Hard drive doesn't work properly. Now I don't have any stupid BACK UPs. My music files usage is 18 GB, only contacts, documents, notes, or some other files that can only fit to your "iCloud" not my 18GB music files and other photos. Your solution is to BUY more storage. Another COST! Another wasting time to set everything then need to pay more?
    If you let your unit (iPod,iPhone,iPad) to export music to PC, or any mini SDcard to use as storage, it won't happen.
    There is another....
    It has Bluetooth, right?
    Use less! Doesn't work. There's no way to use it.
    All I need is to install an application to use your bluetooth. (for same unit or Apple unit only). And pictures only can send via Bluetooth if you an application.
    Even if you go to "Photos" check if there's a way to send pictures? there is no way to send via Bluetooth, even Photos, Songs.etc. It can't even share some other friends (even they have own iPad, iPod, iPhone or same products) who has a unit with Bluetooth.
    And the last.. only one port. there's no way to watch videos through HDMI. No HDMI port, no SD or any card slot. Must to buy their products.
    Very costly!
    I know (like iPod) it's very friendly to use it, but you  must spend more money first before it can use.

    Yes, the old album art view is gone, bu you can see the album art for a song that's playing by clicking on the art image and it will open a bigger view.
    Everything else in your post is a waste. I'm not going to spend time reading it. If - and I repeat if, you have a question on how to get the best out of the new look iTunes, post it. But don't spend your time in long rambling negative rants.

  • Album Art is making me crazy! Won't stay attached in iPod but ok in iTunes!

    1.Some of my Album Art is imported from iTunes, some is copied / pasted from internet since I can't get it from "Import Art" from iTunes. I also use an external hard drive to store my iTunes on. iTunes plays fine, and in iTunes, all my album art is displayed. However, several albums (only about 10 out of over 1000) show no album art at all in my iPod(s). I download it again, drag it into the window where you drop artwork and it seems fine in iTunes but again will not show up in my iPod. The image is fine as it shows in iTunes and is the same size as all my other image files I have used.
    I have even deleted all the art from each individual track in iTunes which had missing art and reloaded it - same thing. This is making me nuts! Any ideas? I'm a very anal person and I want art on every track/album.
    This happens on my new iPod classic 80G w/video as well as an older iPod classic which doesn't support cover flow but still shows album art.
    2.On an even weirder note, if I eject/disconnect my external drive to use my laptop, when I reconnect, most of my album art is gone in iTunes. However, if I use the cover flow view to locate the albums with no art, when I get to them I press enter to play the first (or any) song on the album and as soon as it starts to play, the art comes back and then stays! This is very strange. Almost as if iTunes forgot where the art is but playing the song somehow reunites it. I don't get it.

    For #1, the iPod's Artwork cache does get corrupted when making frequent changes. In the iPod's Music preferences tab in iTunes, remove the check beside "Display album artwork on your iPod" and select Apply.
    Once the iPod has finished syncing, recheck it and hit Apply again. iTunes should recreate the artwork cache and re-sync it to your iPod.
    For #2, are you running the itunes database (it has an ITL extension) from the exHD ? Or from the default location on your C: drive. The downloaded artwork from the itunes store goes into a folder named Album Artwork, and that is created in the same folder as the ITL file.
    Not sure if this is it, since I embed the artwork in all my files.

  • Album Art - some albums will not allow art to be added manually - help?

    I've searched the archive for an answer to this, but haven't found a solution.
    I'm importing many of my CD's into iTunes, some of which I have to add the album art manually. For the most part this works just fine, as I go to "Info," and drag the art into the art window.
    But here's the problem - there are some albums that just WILL NOT display the art. I drag the art to the window, and it appears there, but does not "stick." When you play another song, then go back to the previous, the artwork is gone again.
    I've tried adding the art in every way I know how: drag to the window that says "drag artwork here" in the main window; going to "get info" then "artwork" and dragging the art into that window; and also clicking the "add" button and navigating to the stored art file...the result is always the same - the art doesn't stick. This is only for some albums; the majority work just fine.
    I've cleared the album art cache, with no change, and have also set the ID3 tag to "none" for the problematic albums (based on a suggestion in another posting). Both of these had no effect on the results - the art still won't stick.
    I'm at wit's end - anyone have a suggestion??

    Manual syncing seems a very inefficient method to use - it my experience its much easier to associate one or more playlists with your iDevice and then automatically sync to that.  Doing it this way allows you to set up what you want to sync without the iDevice being connected, and also allows you to manage what gets synced completely, since you can remove albums from the playlist so that they're automatically deleted from your iDevice next time you sync.

  • About a month ago, most of the Album art on my iPod just up and disappeared.

    So, about a month ago, for no apparent reason at all, almost all of the album art on all of the music on my iPod just disappeared and was replaced by the default white art. It even happened to most of my purchased music! As time passed, some of it gradually re-appeared, which is really weird, but most of it is still gone. I have 174 albums on my ipod and about only 1/4 of them have art. Before this problem happened, almost every single album had art. I meticulously spend HOURS adding really nice album art to the music on my iPod, and then this happens.
    I'm genuinely quite upset. I use my iPod a LOT and have put a lot of money into Apple. A problem like this should not be happening. I'm actually very tech-savvy (going to be getting a CS degree) but this problem baffles me at every turn and it's extremely frustrating.
    So, last night, I tried to fix the problem again. I made an album in my music folder and added the proper information to each song, with an album cover (500X500 - all of my album art is 500X500) in the folder where the songs reside. I then plug my iPod in and open iTunes. I then go into file and add the album to my iTunes library, and then I go to the songs and add the album cover to their information via the "add artwork" submenu of the get info on the songs. I then sync the songs to my iPod normally, and the album art shows up on them. Great. Wonderful.
    I then think, "Oh, maybe I can fix all of my OTHER album art manually!".
    So I go to my artists on my iPod and find an album titled Asteroid (it's a song by Rameses B) which doesn't have a cover but should. I deleted it off of my iPod. I then plugged my iPod back into my computer and tried to re-sync the song Asteroid back onto my iPod but nothing happened. It WOULD NOT, and I mean WOULD NOT sync that **** song to my iPod. It just sat there like I never did anything at all. My method of syncing is that I find the song and drag-drop it to the iPod menu on the right side of my screen.
    So then I kind of gave up for the night. It was midnight and I was done with this **** after trying to get that song to sync for at least 20 minutes.
    So I eject the iPod from my computer (SAFELY) and close iTunes normally, bla bla bla, go to sleep.
    I get up this morning and go to my music app and ALL OF MY ALBUM ART ON EVERYTHING IS GONE. *POOF*, gone. Including the songs that I'd synced last night! What the ****! How does that even happen?!
    Some more information:
    I'm running Windows 7 with a fully updated iTunes. My iPod is fully updated as well. As in iOS 7.1.0, non-Beta. It's an iPod touch 5th generation.
    So, my question is, how the heck do I get my album art back on my darn iPod?! I have tried manually re-syncing individual songs after deleting them off of my iPod and they won't re-sync. I have also tried re-syncing my entire music library to my iPod, and the result was the same as before. Most of the album art didn't transfer to the iPod.
    I'm extremely frustrated at this point. I'm at the very verge of jailbreaking this thing and iFunbox-ing all of my album art over to it forcefully. If Apple can't fix my problem, I will. I'm at that point right now.
    Please help.
    Thank you so much in advance.

  • 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))

  • Some of my album art disappeared after downloading iOS 8?

    I checked my iTunes library after downloading the new update and I discovered that a ton of the album art on my songs are gone. When I went onto iTunes today to restore them, (I already know how to do that) it appeared that all of the art was fine. I synced my device for good measures. I went to check on my library once more, but I found that it was still the same, all blank. I tried once more and some were restored, but still a majority were blank. I know it's not a big deal, but I'm a sucker for everything all set and ready.

  • I transfered videos from iPod to iTunes on Windows 7 PC but album art won't show up, even when I choose to find album art

    I just installed iTunes 64 bit on my PC with Windows 7. I transfered my movies from my iPod Classic but no album art on any of them. I even try to find album art but nothing. I've downlaoded a couple of music albums onto same PC that I downloaded previously on iPad and they have art but not the videos I just transferred from iPod. I also can't play any of them on PC. I keep getting the no Quicktime message even though I downloaded QT. Any ideas?

    I'm having the same problem, except I dont have itunes match enabled.
    I synced my ipad and unchecked all my albums to remove them. Then I re-synced with the albums selected. They went back on WITH the artwork under 'artists' but then for some reason the next time I sync, some of the artwork under 'artists' is gone leaving only a music note for the cover.
    It also has nothing to do with the cloud backup as I have experienced this with both backing up to the cloud and to my mac.
    strange.......

  • 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!
