Album Art issues iOS 5

Everytime I sync my iPad (1st Gen) to my Macbook Pro 2010 running 10.7.2 deletes my album art gets deleted. From both my iphone and ipad. Does anyone know why it is doing this and how to make it stop? Its really annoying and I have to remove all of my music and then add them back to my devices.

Try this. Open your ipod and then hold "ctrl" whilst you highlight all the songs on a particular album. Then right click and select "get info". You should on the screen that comes up a box for album art that you can copy and paste into. Click ok and it should transfer the album art for you.

Album Art Issues After Updating To iOS 6.0.1

Just updated to iOS 6.0.1 from iOS 6.0 now some album art is not showing at all. In portrait mode it doesn't show art at all until I select the album. But even then it doesn't show on some of them. In landscape mode it shows up on some albums only but not all. All music on my iPhone was bought on iTunes and use to show before update. Wish I was still on iOS 5

I suppose that you can demand all you want. It would have to be proven that the iOS update broke this particular function but it could also be said that it was just a matter of time that the broken thing manifested itself. Since the phone is out of warranty, it could also be said that it is your risk to update software. I'm not trying to be argumentative here, but we are not Apple. We are users like you and just try and provide support to other users. What you decide to do from here is your decision. I've given you all I know to do.

Anyone having album art issues after update to iOS 6 ?

Mine's a strange one . It occurs in the player bar at the top , with the scobbler and repeat/shuffle controller . The album art is now missing when I play anything , but only up there . Every album art is where it should be on the main page and you can still "full screen" it , so to speak . It gets stranger still . With home sharing on and the iPad now accessing that library , it operates and displays as it normally would ... just with the songs stored on the iPad does this minor error/glitch happen . Any thoughts on this one ?
I do know this . Thre's no way I'm deleting or replacing all my music on this iPad 2 . It's 64 gig , and most of the space used is music , so it's a massive , tall order to do all that again .

It'll take time , but deleting and then re-sycning every piece of music on the iPad is the only solution . No one at Apple had heard of the issue and thus had no answers , but when adding a new album and replacing some lo-res album art , the issue presented it's own solution .

2G Ipod Touch picture and album art issues

I have a 2nd Generation 8GB Touch with 4.0.2 installed. Just recently I've noticed a couple of issues with it.
When I look at the photos stored, in the thumbnail view some of the photos are just a black box, but when I view the pics, they show normally.
When I am looking at the album art, a couple of the albums have wrong artwork showing, even though in iTunes it has the correct artwork showing there. For example one album has the artwork for a podcast that I no longer have synced to the iPod. If I browse to right to look at the next album, in the background where you see the album covers of the other albums, it shows the right artwork. Another album just has artwork for another podcast, but when I see it behind another album, it is showing the artwork for the podcast that I first mentioned earlier.
Has anybody else seen this or something like it and know how to resolve it?

I called Apple and was told that I needed to restore the iPod. The problem is that I had purchased and installed the January upgrade on my iMac and not my MacBook.
I restored the iPod on the iMac and then synced to the MacBook.
Problem solved!

Album Art Issue

My album art works for almost every album I have (except that I have album art on every album, so it shouldn't be an almost!).
I've realized that the album art won't show on albums/artists that have a music video of the same album/artist... so I gave the music videos the proper artwork. However that didn't solve the problem.
I don't know how anyone would suggest fixing this, but it hasn't seemed to be an issue for anyone that I've noticed. I hope someone at apple reads this forum, but I'm sending them a technical support email anyway. I hope this issue can be cleared up in an update sometime soon.

Are you sure the Album Art is included on every song on that album?
The art is stored with every song not per album.
Do a Get Info on the first song n an album an click Next while viewing the artwork to scroll thru all the songs on that album.

Can someone help with an album art issue???

I am using iTunes 9.....this problem was in iTunes 8 too....but anyway....when i get a new album I make a new playlist and put the album in the playlist......and when I click the arrow that pulls out the sidebar to view the album art for the album each song has its own icon for album art.....but I would like the entire playlist to have one icon because they're all off of the same album......how might i manage this??
heres a link to another forum with pictures of what I'm talking about:
http://forums.majorgeeks.com/showthread.php?t=199060

I've dealt with that space after a title issue before, but usually with artist names. If the space after the title is different for different tracks, they are not identical, that's why my advice was to change them all at the same time.
I periodically scroll through my artists and albums in the column browser looking for just that sort of issue, because if they're not identical in itunes, they're going to be separated on my ipod.
And while I love making convoluted playlist systems myself, I agree with the unsolicited advice on separate playlists for every album. You are going to see slower loading times eventually.

How do I turn off the album art in ios 7 iphone?

How do I turn off the album art in itunes on my iphone with ios 7?
I want to turn it off because it is not aesthetically pleasing and it makes the scroll list really long by pushing the title text further apart.
A few of the albums have the wrong artwork, which will push me over the edge. I don't want to fix the artwork. I just don't want the artwork.
Please tell me how I can turn it off.
Thanks,
Doug

5800 xpressmusic album art issue

got this phone yesterday and i have since transferred a bunch of music from my PC to my phone. however, only about 10% of all albums were able to automatically include the album art. alternatively, i had to manually add the album art for each album - provided if the album art could be found in the gallery. what's curious is that, when connected by usb to my PC, and because adobe photo starter pops up by default for any connected media device of mine, i could see that the album art images, which could not be found in the gallery (and hence unable to be manually added), were very well present somewhere in my phone. clearly, i have trouble locating them. furthermore, whenever i delete an album art image from my gallery, i can kiss the said album art goodbye from the album/music app too.
my questions are:
1) where are the album art images which are floating somewhere in my phone/memory card ie. how can i locate them?
2) is there a way whereby i can ensure that the album art covers would be automatically secured along the music i transfer, so i would not have to manually add album art covers to each and every album?
3) why does the fate of album art covers being automatically attached to the albums seem so random?
4) is there any one way to fix these issues?
for info's sake and if relevant, i use mass storage mode via usb.
all help would be greatly appreciated, and thank you in advance!

1. Its embedded within the mp3 file.
2. By embedding them into the file
3. When you use iTunes (if you did not customize some settings) or the built in music browser, these mp3 files are simply linked to their corresponding album art. Once the mp3 or the album art's location is changed, the link is broken. However for embedded files, they are "inside" the mp3 file, like the tags we put for album and artist, etc, so they are taken with them.
4. I use TagTuner to embed my mp3's with album art.

Solution for album art issues

I spent some time with the issue downloading album art. First, the application seems to be quite specific with artist/album text. I went through my library with the mini store turned on and compared the album titles to my albums with the titles in the store. I noticed that the albums that had issues downloading the art were spelled differently (additional apostrophe, and instead of N, etc...)
Once I fixed all the album titles, I was able to get the artwork for all of my albums. Next issue is that iTunes is not synching the added art work. It seems that adding art work through the application does not trigger a synch. I had to change the settings on my iPod to manually manage my library. Deleted all my songs off the iPod and change the settings back to automatic and iTunes synched everything back over with the added album art.
Hope this helps anyone having issues...

GreyCharleh I'm having the same problem. Did you ever get an answer?
I bought music on iTunes, created a Playlist - which SHOWED the album artwork in the playlist.
BUT when I burned a CD, the album artwork did not burn with the music.
Any help? Any suggestions? Or am I SOL?

Erased Album Art in ios 7?

I have an iPhone 5, all my album was okay but one day I turned the wi-fi off on my phone and it erased all the art that I had, it did even for purchased music from iTunes... I went back last night and added artwork to all the album I had it for but it will not show up on my iphones but the songs show thier artwork in iTunes..anyone know why?

Hello all.
I have had a look at several posts.
The only way to turn off the Album Art Work Wall on your IOS 7 + Is to make sure your Portrait Orientation is turned on.
There is only one down side to this.
You will need to turn it off when you want to flip your phone sideways to watch a full movie or video clip.
How to find your Portrait Orientation.
Make sure you go back to your apps and do the following:
1: From the center button...put your finger on the bottom screen and flip your finger forward to bring up the menu that looks like this:
2: Click on the top right which is the icon with the padlock with surrounding circles.
3: Go back to Music App, and you will find the art work no longer appears.
4: TADAA!! You are done
To change it back..... do the same method and turn Orientation Off.
I hope this helps?

IPod Classic Album Art Issues

I see people have been having issues with album art but I think mine's different
I have the 160G iPod classic, the current iTunes for Windows & iPod software
My problem is that with the rectangular cover art I use, my iPod will not resize it to fit the thumbnail screen at the corner of my iPod (like it does for the square ones--like CD covers)
Is there a way to get iTunes/iPod to resize the cover art to fit the screen?
Size I don't think is an issue, since the square ones are not very small (500x500 or 600x600. etc.)
Any thoughts?

What you see is what you get. There are no hidden commands to get the iPod treat regular images as square. If it matters enough then you probably need to copy the images out to a picture editor like paint.net, change the aspect ratio and paste them back. At least that's what I do...

IPod has album art issues

I'm pretty sure this is a top problem amongst iPod users. I've been trying to find a solution, but so far no good.
My iPod has had some album artwork issues lately. This problem doesn't affect a majority of my songs, but it's a really annoying problem. Despite me adding correct covers for each song on iTunes, the artwork for certain songs don't appear like they do on iTunes. They get switched with other covers from other songs on my iPod, get switched with screenshots from my iPod videos, and sometimes don't appear at all. This is despite the fact that they appear perfectly fine on iTunes.
Case 1: Album covers get switched with other album covers. In one case, the album art used for a Jason Mraz song was the album art for an Owl City song that was also on my iPod.
Case 2: For some songs, screenshots from my iPod videos appear as album art. I've got a screenshot from a Futurama episode where my Rihanna album cover should be.
Case 3: For some songs, nothing appears at all except the standard musical note icon, despite me having added covers to these songs on iTunes.
Case 4: Likewise, for some of my videos, album art from my songs appear for icons, instead of a selected screenshot from the video, which is usually what appears. In fact, the album art that does appear is the art from songs where Case 3 applies.
This is a really irritating problem that I'd like to see get fixed. The most commonly cited solution to this problem, restoring the iPod, didn't permanently work for me. Please help!

ZEN VISION:M Multiple Artist Directories/Album Art Issues/e

I recently bought a Zen Vision:M (got talked out of the IPod) and for the most part I'm very happy with it. However these two small issues are so irritating that they make me want to get rid of it.
Firstly a few artists on my player have multiple directories/folders. Some have two, some have as many as fi've. I am extremely particular about my music so I know that they are properly tagged and the artist name matches exactly. It only does this with when I add media with the zen media explorer, however if I use any other program to add files, such as windows media (don't tell anyone that I used that terrible excuse for a media player!) or MusicMatch (my preferred choice), my album art won't display. I find this interesting, and extremely irritating, considering I used MusicMatch to tag the art to the files). I can only get the art to display using the zen media explorer.
Also is there a way to have the zen organize tracks by name and not into album directories? I refuse to believe that I am the only one who listens to my music by track title as opposed to album title, otherwise I'd just pop the cd in!!! And what is the deal with playing one track plays the whole album? I have to add track to playlist just so it doesn't throw all the songs in there.

Windows Media Player does not write the album art to the ID3 tag of the mp3 file. It keeps the image file separated from the mp3 and makes a link to it.
You need something that can write the image file to the mp3 file itself. Zen Explorer can do this.
As for the multiple artist names showing up. I've never seen that before, and I feel like I need more details. Do the Artist names show up under the Artist Catagory view or the Album catagory view? And I misundertood if you were trying to say this only happens when you transfer music using the Zen Explorer and not Media Playper or MusicMatch since you changed subjects midway through the sentence.
But in a general sense, this would happen if you are spelling the two directories differently. Like for example Tom Jones, Tom Jone, or ( )Tom Jones. the ( ) means theres a space in front of the T. Those would all show up under different album names.Message Edited by TimT on 07-0-2006 2:04 PM

7.3.1 album art issue is fixed

I just converted lossless files to AIFF and back again. The album art stayed connected the whole way. This is fixed behavior from 7.3. Thank you Apple.

Actually it appears there's something still wrong. Those tracks that preserved album art through conversion to AIFF and back to lossless do NOT show the album art from a shared library. They always used to.
(They never do inside iTunes itself but always showed in You Control iTunes and Synergy and the like.)

Album Art Issue on Zen 3

Why can't the Zen tell the difference between two different artists albums (and the album art) both named the same? My Leona Lewis "Spirit" album is showing up on my 32Gb Zen with Jewel's "Spirit" album art, even though I have it tagged correctly and it shows up correctly in WMP. This is a little annoying.

Agian a month later.
I'm having the same problem.
This time, I thought I should call Apple support.
I got someone from overseas I guess because it was after hours.
He was a nice guy, but didn't know what he was doing; just told me to reformat.
He also told me to make sure I dissconnected the device correctly.
I really don't want to have to reformat this device agian.
It's takes about 5 hours to update the device with all my music "7000 files."
I feel their has to be another solution.
