Album art in the Artist column is missing

I have an album art problem. For one artist in my library, Foo Fighters, the album art is missing in the left artist column. I have deleted and reinstalled album art for each and every album as well as delete and reinstall all albums/sings. Nothing helps. BUT, when choose all songs and change the Album Artist Name to "Foo Fighters#" it shows. But when I change it back again its gone. What is going on and how can I fix it?

Hi there mwetterstrand,
It looks like the Album art doesnt seem to show in the Artist column as expected. I would use these steps on the missing artwork in the Artists column:
Add artwork to songs and other items
Retrieve album artwork from the iTunes Store for songs in your library: Control-click the songs and choose Get Album Artwork.
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
Regards,

How to set the Default Album Art in the Artist Grid?

This option was lost when upgrading to iTunes 11, how do I do it? A lot of my artists have blank Grid art (even though every album I own has artwork).

I also had missing album art for artists even though I had artwork for all the albums by those artists. I was able to get album art in place of the blank icons. I simply deleted all the music by those artist and re-loaded the music and I successfully acquired album art in place of the blank icons. Unfortunately, you do not have a choice of the album art as you did with iTunes 10, as iTunes 11 chooses the album art from the respected artist as a default. I hope this helps as this is the only solution I could find.

After i downloaded IOS5 most of my album art on my iPod touch is missing, but its still on my computer.

some of the album art for the songs i recently downloaded from itunes is there, but almost everything i've downloaded from itunes in the past has no album art. how do i get it back?

Another thing to try: uncheck the "Sync Music" checkbox in your iPod pane in iTunes, sync and allow iTunes to remove the tracks, then rechec the "Sync Music" checkbox and resync. That fixed the problem with missing and incorrect album artwork on my iPad with iOS 5.

How can I show album art in the mini player when playing songs from a plugged in iPhone?

How can I show album art in the mini player when playing songs from a plugged in iPhone?
When I play from my phone and switch to the mini player it's always showing the music notes in the thumbnaill. It'd be nice if it could get album art off of the phone.
I'm on iTunes version 11.0.4.4

He @mracole,
it is very nice that you post a solution to complete the library with artwork for album's that do not have an artwork. Your solution perfectly addresses the problem for assigning artwork, BUT this thread is about CHANGING artwork for albums already uploaded into iTunes Match. Just try to replace for example a blue artwork cover for an album with a red one. If you made it in a simple way (without deleting the album from iTunes Match and local changes on the files with an external ID3-Application or 2 or more iTunes libraries on different Mac's) this is the right place to give a solution. I really tried for hours to change the artwork to make them visible in landscape cover flow mode on my iPhone5. In rare cases I made it, but then the covers sometimes where restored to the old onces - exacly how it is mentioned by Starhawk
As long as there is no simple way to change the cover of an iTunes Match stored album (you can change title, artist and so on without hitting "update iTunes Match" over all distributed Library on different devices - this date will be synchronized almost instantly) I considered the behaviour from iTunes as BUGGY! For me the local artwork cache (and if there is any iCloud artwork cache - I don't know) do not interfere with iCloud. Even when I delete the whole local cache (album artwork music - everything) I do not manage to change the artwork.

In my library, under the Artist column only...items are not listed in alpha order. How can I get that to happen?

Song purchases do not show up in the artist column but they do show up in the song column. What gives?

When you purchase songs, I have several artists that do not appear in the artist column. The songs appear in the song column, but they are not grouped in the artist column. What gives?

Make sure these tracks are not marked as part of a compilation in iTunes from under the Info tab of the Get Info window that can be accessed by right->clicking on a track.

How to enter an Artist in the ARTIST column on a playlist ?

I have created an iTunes playlist with several song titles but the artist's name did not appear in the ARTIST column. How can I add the appropriate artist by the song title in the ARTIST column ?

In addition to using the Get Info window, you can also simply type directly into the Artist column in the library. Click the field, wait 1 second, and click it again. Most, but not all, fields are editable this way. Now, if you need to type the SAME artist into many songs, it's much easier to select them all and use Get Info instead.

How do you transfer album art to the Zen Vision

Quite a lot of my tracks have album art associated with them. If I transfer these tracks to my Zen Vision M, will the album art transfer automatically also? If not, how to I go about transferring album art? The album art does not appear as separate files in My Pictures, it seems to be embedded in the WMAs......

Thanks for posts. The MediaExplorer way mentioned did not work for me either. So far it looks like Windows Media Player will transfer album art automatically when you copy music to your player using the 'sync' function, but I have yet to try this out. This would probably be the easiest way for most people, but remember to create your subfolders for your music first and transfer the track to the relevant one, as stuff can't bee moved around between folders once it's on your player (so annoying).

Missing album art from the lockscreen?

For some odd reason, after I updated my iTunes software and my iPhone to iOS 5.1.1, the music synced to my iPhone will not display album artwork on the lockscreen. Ive tried restarting and even resyncing it multiple times, and the ID3 tags are linked to artwork and everything with my music is fine. In fact, it works on my iPod Touch 2G running iOS 4.2.1. But not my iPhone, and it bugs me not being able to see the artwork like i have for the past 2 years. Also, I am running iTunes on Windows 7, if that helps. Any comments and possible solutions would be appreciated, thank you.

Found the solution.... Just took some looking around.

How to manually insert artist photos in the artist column?

I wanted to know specifically how to customize artist photos in the artist section of the iPod / iPhone, etc. As you can see, it shows a corresponding album to that artist, but I wanted to put a photo of the artist there like they have in the iTunes Radio. Mainly cause it would look nice, and I have several artist that doesn't have photos anyway. There was a thread that someone put custom photos on their column using iFunbox. I have it, but don't know how the person did it.
Any help?

     (use your own naming, for example "deeppurple.jpg")
4. Use Sqlite3 db editor edit 2 tables
4.1 artwork
     add line for each artist with parameters id,4,name jpg,4. Where jpg name like u decide in 3
     For example deeppurple,4,00/deeppurple.jpg,4
4.2 album_artist
     find line with artist name in album_artist column
     change value in album_artist_token to id value, for example deeppurple
5. put edited MediaLibrary.sqlitedb back

Nas drive and no album art on the mac

I started all this buying a touch. Then a nas drive netgear nv+ then 1 mac mini then airport extreme and express. I started this itunes on a pc and still have a library 60 cd's on it that is loaded on the nas. I am loading about 4000 cd's on the nas and have started that now with the mac mini(100 more cd's). No artwork shows up and non of the other cd's I loaded on the nas from the pc show up either.
My end result is ti have two or three zones controllable by i phones or touch that have all the music available on the sound systems attached to expresses or mini mac's. I am told I have to have a computor attached to each zone-zone being something I can listen to different than another zone. The netgear nas says it can do this with itunes and I have firefly turned on the itunnes server. I love the touch interface as it is what I want to use. I sell high end audio for a living and need the good sound around the house-all aiff files please help as I have taken the apple plunge and do not want to return to pc
I want the album art to show up and all the albums to show up on any computor of touch or apple tv in the house and be able to play it's own thing.
Thanks

All of my MP3 files already have album art added to them, but even better would be for the Zen to use 'folder.jpg' in the folder of the album as WMP does, if that were possible. That would save the filesize of each file in an album having to be increased by having album art attached to every single one. But album art support in any form at all would be brilliant!

How do I get rid of obscene album art from the top songs list on Apple TV

Under the Music app on Apple TV there appears a selection of "top songs". Frequently the album art for these "top songs" is obscene, or an abomination according to God. Is it possible to remove this "top songs" reference list from my Apple TV or at least hide it? Is there a rating setting for music such as the one that is provided for movies?

Unfortunately not.
Even though you can set up parental controls for the store to prevent preview/purchase of more adult content unfortunately the album/movie art will still show when browsing the store or your iTunes library via Computers.
I was a little annoyed with the Vevo apop the other day as a track with an expletive ridden title showed the text without ****s despite the option for showing more adult content being off.

Choosing Album Art from the Internet

Whenever I try to use images from online to use as album art or as wallpapers on my Mac, they come out blurry/pixelated. Is there a special format that I should be using to make my pictures look sharp? I have the MacBook Pro 13". If anybody could help me out, I'd be really grateful!

BRING BACK THE ALBUM ART IN THE BOTTOM LEFT!!!!!!!!!!

UGH!!!!!! I don't like having to go to the Album list to see the album art. I could care less about what others think. But this was helpful to me. It kept me from having to switch back and forth between screen to see what album art hasn't been downloaded. BRING IT BACK ASAP!!!!!!! I don't care about the cover flow. Just bring the Art to the bottom left and I will FINALLY be happy with his program.
WORD OF ADVISE: Get the publics advise on a new platform before making changes and have to do an update days laters......It's annoying.

Is there a business reason why this feature hasn't returned, despite a huge number of complaints? (Matt Suda - does he work for Spotify? - writes in this thread that it is coming back but its status is still "Watch this space" in the monthly ideas review). I can think of a few business model reasons that Spotify doesn't want its customers to have filter/search. For example: 1- I bet it's reduced the amount of use by customers like me, so the business gets the "Health Club" revenue stream - loads of subscribers who don't use the service much. 2- Perhaps its a way of increasing use of the Facebook aspect of Spotify and so creating more advertising revenue. If we are wasting our time and effort asking for the return of this feature then please, Spotify, just tell us and we will vote with our wallets after examining the competition.

How can I remove Album Art from the top of the screen (where it shows the song now playing) in iTunes 11?

Would like to remove the album art on itunes 11 at the top of the screen

Not a great solution, but you can completely remove the album art if you reduce the width of your itunes window.... as you reduce the window you get to a point where the artwork disappears.
Maximized window:
Narrowed window:
