Album Art Missing/Not Showing Up...Among Other Things

Recently my new Q10 has decided to stop showing album art randomly - I say randomly as art work that used to show has now suddenly gone either black or now shows the default blue note art. I am practically OCD about my mp3 tags and while 3 different tagging programs say I have the correct art, my Q10 says otherwise.
And it's not just music per-say: I have recently come to the conclusion that there are no useful podcast apps yet out - I've tried about 4 "native" apps (or at least available in the app world store) and 5 different side loaded apps that claim to allow a user to manually add podcast episodes to the podcast folder as mp3s...another rant for another thread but those mp3 are also missing their respective art and one that I deleted ages ago (as it was corrupted) is STILL in my library and refuses to be deleted.
This all started after the update to 273 (no sign of anything after that)
I've tried rebooting my phone after removing the sd card, I've tried removing it from the music menu, the file is not on my phone so why is my library still showing it - even after it says the file no longer exists!?!?!?
Sorry to go on a rant/tangent but I actually really love my new Q10 but I HATE these niggling issues that seem to crop up like mushrooms everytime I try to do something, has anyone else had similar issues? Have they been fixed with the most recent update? Anyone else on O2 in the UK who actually has the update?
Sometimes I really hate technology....
Slàinte.
Not all things are good.
Not all things are evil.
But with an open mind...
You can see the difference.

Some Album Art Missing in Albums/Artists/Genres

An issue with iTunes 11. I have noticed that I have several tracks that are not displaying the album art when I view them in the "Albums", "Artists", or "Genres" modes. I'm seeing the generic white box with the gray musical note, not the art. These tracks DO have art attached to them. The art is there when I bring up the track's "get info" box. It also displays next to the progress bar and in the pop-up album art player window that shows up when I click the art. But it's refusing to display in the main window in any of those three modes. How do I fix this?

Been watching this problem an these forums and no known (easy) fix.
What I've done is manually:
     From the ALBUMS pane, select the offending Album
               Select an individual track and do Get Info
               In the Get Info window, Press the Next button.
               That usually works .... but if not
               Select the cover art, cut it (CMD-X)
               Press the Next Button, then the Previous Button to go back to the empty pane
               Paste the art (CMD-V)
               Press OK to exit .....

Album Art missing from one track

I've got a fair-sized CD collection, which I ripped to 320k MP3 a couple of years ago on a Windows machine. I've just imported the albums into iTunes on my iMac. I've managed to resolve a few problems, but this one has me beat:
One album has one track with no artwork. I realise that you have to import artwork on a per-track basis, so I assume that the artwork was missing from the ID tag when the album was originally ripped.
Thing is, I can't find the artwork anywhere else to re-import it onto this one track.
Is there any way of getting the artwork from another track on this album onto the track in question?

It is pretty simple. Just select the track with album art, drag the album art from the artwork window to desktop and you will have a .pictClipping file. Now select the track with album art missing and drag the .pictClipping into the artwork window and you are done.

Is a music bed muzak for a movie? (among other things) [not play upon the alias of our illustrious poster, Muzak]

rohan,
Thank you for the leads. I shall follow them.
My inquiry into beds started when I heard your Chapel bit. It was so different from the Apple looped things I had found when doing the Google.
Would this rule work: "Do what you want, but no melody"?
The Chapel link is in the following paragraph, from your post:
"i find sculpture very difficult to use. its a bit like logic with in logic - the possiblities are incredible. i don't use it for sound medelling though. it gives you an opportunity to create very organic and sophisticated beds.
because you can automate it and its method of sound production allows for very sophisticated, detailed and emorphous sound, you can, with a lot of work, produce some remarkable effects and beds. blended in with other things it can really bring to life a cue.
here is an example i particularly like, although it doesn't take sculpture as far as i have done since i wrote this, but they're not up on my site yet. it starts with an unsettling and eerie sound that was perfect for the cue...

Album art missing under artists tab on iPad 2 running iOS 5

I restored my iPad 2 to iOS 5 as a new iPad. Everything synced fine the first time and all album art showed up perfectly, but when I synced a second time, for some reason my iPad ended up messing up all the album art in the music app, but only under the artists tab. I tried unsyncing all of the music, and then resyncing all of it again, but it did the same thing if I synced it again. Only 5 artists have album art showing, but the rest are blank, even though every single album in my music library has album art. The album art in the actual albums tab is fine. Here's a picture that shows what it looks like:

Yup, driving me mad! I use my Ipad2 for professional DJing but simply cant any more. It took me three days to re-organise all my music and albums and get all the artwork in. I made the MASSIVE mistake of clicking 'sync over wifi' in itunes and now half the album art is missing again. Every time I re-sync, different artwork appears and different artwork vanishes????
I have now wiped all my music and am re-syncing yet again to see if it works.
Does anyone from Apple exist and can explain what the heck is going on here as IOS 5 has rendered my device almost unusable for its main purpose. I have to say, I have gone from selling Ipads at all my gigs to telling everyone who comes up to have a look not to bother any more - its probably caused several hundreds of laughs already, not the kind of advert Apple wants I'm guessing????

Album Art Missing / Displaying Wrong Art

I just updated both iTunes and my iPhone to the latest version. After I synched my iPhone, two issues occurred:
1 - The wrong album art was displaying for the now playing song
2 - Then after I synched again, album art is missing for all music, podcasts, video on my iPhone (it is still in iTunes)
Anyone having the same issue or know how to fix this?

Same here. The album are is correct in iTunes, but if I play the song from my playlist, I get the wrong picture.
This only happens for the last playlist I created. Earlier playlists I created show the correct album art.
I may try deleting the playlist, and recreating it.

Switched iPod format from PC to Mac OSX.5 - Album Art Missing in some songs

Has anyone else seen this problem? I am meticulous about adding art to albums I like, especially, so I know it was there before.
I switched from a Windows system to Macbook recently, and everything else seems great, but there is definitely some artwork missing. There is no consistency to what's missing - some I added myself by adding a .jpg to the folder where the songs were (auto-created by iTunes when I imported the song in), and some were brought in when I imported a CD.
Can I get iTunes (and my iPod) to find them again, or will I just have to re-add them?
Also - My music is all on an external USB drive which is plugged in to a G5 and I'm accessing it from my MacBook over wireless network. Would that make a difference? When I go on the G5, I see a folder I created on the PC for miscellaneous album art. From the MacBook, I cannot see that folder. I can see all the music folders around it, but just not that folder. ***? Why is that?

see doing the following helps
For Mac computer
1. Open the disk utility, hope your iPod appears there (left hand side), highlight it
2. Go to Tab “Partition”, click either “Delete” or “Partition”, if fails, skip this step and go to 3
3. Go to Tab “Erase” , choose Volume Format as “MAC OS Extended (Journaled), and click Erase, again if fails, skip it and go to 4
4. Same as step 3, but open the “Security Options....” and choose “Zero Out Data” before click Erase. It will take 1 to 2 hours to complete.
5. Eject your iPod and do a Reset
6. Open the iTunes 7 and click “Restore”
seems it could be some bad sectors on the HD of your iPod, if the above does not solve, then do a Restore with a PC, and see what happen

Itune display correct album art but i touch shows wrong album in genius mix

Hi there im using itunes 9.1.0.79 and i have an ipod touch 2g running version 3.1.3
Now the problem is the genius mixes on itunes is showing correct album art i.e. each of the four mixes are composed of four album art
ON ITUNES DANCE POP MIX CONSISTS OF SPICE GIRLS,LADY GAGA, KC AND SUNSHINE BAND AND AQUA.
THE SAME DANCE POP MIX DISPLAYS MICHAEL JACKSON, BRITNEY SPEARS, TATU AND SPICE GIRLS ON MY IPOD WHERE AS THE SONGS UNDER THE LIST ARE SAME ON THE COMPUTER AND MY IPOD
THERE IS A SAME PROBLEM WITH THE REST OF THE MIXES
EVERYTHING ELSE IS WORKING FINE ON THE IPOD EXCEPT THIS
can someone please help me find a solution and is anyone else also facing this problem......

You don't have a problem, and there is not solution. The album art you see for a genius mix is a representative sample of the albums contained in that mix. It is not all inclusive, there are other albums in that mix. When you mouse over a genius mix in iTunes, you'll see below the mix title that that mix is based on Artist A, Artist B, Artist C and others. When you play a mix, you'll see the album art changes from 4 covers to the album cover for the song now playing.
If you sync a mix to your iPhone/iPod Touch, the four covers will not be the same as those in iTunes, they will be 4 covers representing the albums included in that mix; however the description of the mix under the 4 covers will be the same as it is in iTunes. When you play a mix on your device, the art displayed is the art from the now playing song.
Mixes are not playlists, they are mixes of songs that sound good together. If you play a dance pop mix, it should be like tuning a radio to a dance pop station.
Bottom line, it is what it is. Listen and enjoy. Don't obsess about the minor details.

Album Art Missing in iPhone 16Gb 3G

When i transfer albums to my iPhone only some of the albums display album art. Every album in my iTunes library has album art, most of it I have manually attached to each album.
when i use the iTunes interface to look at the music on my iPhone it displays the album art in the "Selected Item" section in the bottom left corner. i have checked multiple albums, and every song in those albums has the artwork. so it displays the art in my iTunes library, it displays the art when i view the music on my iPhone in the iTunes interface, but it does not display the art when i scroll through the music using the iPhone.
am i totally missing something here?

This has been issue for long time even for iPods before iPhone.
The cause is this.
There are multiple ways of manually applying artwork to a song in iTunes. Only 1 is the best way to make sure artwork goes with the file.
The three ways are:
1. Drag a file/image to the bottom window where it displays artwork when a song is selected.
2. Using the "Find Album Artwork" option in the right click menu for a song.
3. Using "Get Info" option to bring up the Tags of the song and pasting a image into the artwork tab.
The 3rd is the best and only option you should use.
Here is why.
If you use the little artwork window and put images in there, or if you tell iTunes to find artwork, what it does is uses the image supplied or the one it finds and then saves that image to a hidden file on your computer. Then iTunes notes/saves a pointer to that file matched to song. So "iTunes" when playing or looking at the file will say, oh there is a pointer to a file, let me go find that file and display the image. All good and dandy for iTunes.
However when you move that file (manually to another machine or sync to a device) it just moves the media file. The hidden image doesn't go with it as iTunes just uses it.
So the 3rd option of using "Get Info" to get into the tag editor does it different.
In the tag editor you are literally editing data contained in the media file itself. Thus if on the Artwork tab in the tag editor if you paste an image in there, when saved it will embed the image into the media file itself. Thus if you move the file to another computer or sync, that file contains the artwork thus will always be available to it no matter where it is moved.
So in summary, ONLY ever add artwork by using the ArtWork tab in the tag editor (Get Info option).
Nice thing is too when you do, since it literally changes the file (can see date change property update...and filesize) then when you sync it will notice a file change and update the song on the device. If you use the other options, no change is ever done to the physical file thus you will notice the file not change it's change date or size, thus on syncing after assigning artwork those other two ways, it will not retransfer the file because to the iPhone/iPod, it has not changed so there is no need.

Album art downloaded by iTunes shows in iPod, not iPod Library in iTunes

I had iTunes add artwork to the songs in iTunes. The art shows up in the "Selected Item" windows when I click on one of the songs in the iTunes Library.
I added those songs to the iPod. When the iPod plays one of those songs, the artwork shows up fine.
When the iPod is connected to the computer and I click on one of the songs in the iPod Library, the art does not display in the "Selected Item" window, even though I know it has album art. This makes it difficult for me to know which albums I need to add artwork for!
If I add artwork manually, the art shows in "Selected Item" whether the song is on the iPod or in the iTunes Library.
Has anyone encountered this? I have "display album art" checked for the iPod.
Thanks!
Christian

Hi,
It's the same with me. It appears that only manually added artwork displays. Songs with downloaded artwork show a blank in iTunes when I play them from the iPod, although on the iPod itself the artwork shows.
This has to do with the fact that downloaded artwork is not embedded in the mp3-files, in contrary to manually added artwork.
What you could try is to embed downloaded artwork yourself (wait for a rainy sunday afternoon though). Use this program to extract downloaded artwork from your iTunes libray: http://sourceforge.net/projects/iaae/

Album art missing

Some of my album art is missing. Do they have a app. to fix that?

Hi Reese,
You may be referring to the "album artwork reset":
Dave W., "Why album art doesn't appear on my iPod" #7, 08:41am Aug 26, 2005 CDT
There was another poster last week with this same problem and one of the things he was doing that contributed to the problem was that he had his iPod connected to his PC while making changes in his library. If you are doing this, I would suggest disconnecting your iPod, make all the changes you want to your library, then reconnect your iPod and let it resync.
If the album art reset doesn't work, you may want to try doing a Restore. Make sure all your music is backed up and in your library.
Good luck!

Album art missing... but its there.

Please help someone. have had this fifth gen ipod touch since the day it came out. everything was alright up until a few weeks ago. i have about 40GB of music on here. about 3 or 4 weeks ago i was at the mall, decided i wanted to listen to some music and all of it was gone. i thought that was strange, i dont sync it too often but i had it hooked to the computer a day before this incident happened. anyway, i didnt make that big of a deal out of it. I went home, synced all of the same music back, just normally as the next person. i used my ipod a little after it finished and discovered all my album art was gone. i was ******, because i work extremely hard to make sure every single song on every album has its art. later i checked my computer to make sure it was all there.... it was. i clicked the sync button to see if that would work.
Now heres the weird part.... the album art only shows up in coverflow and when on the now playing screen. but not anywhere else. its blank when i scroll the the album lists of artists and its really upseting me. i would love to get in contact with apple but im not sure how.dy
i doubt anybody besides me is having this problem, but if you so happen, PLEASE help me out. i would be most greatful

Try:
- Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Unsync all music and resync
- Reset all settings
Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
- Restore from backup. See:
iOS: How to back up
- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.

Album art does not always show.

I posted this question before, but never found an answer.
Album art works most of the time, but not always.
After ripping a CD, I highlight all songs, get the info dialog, and drop the album art on the info dialog. This works most of the time. But not always. Sometimes, there is a song on a CD that does not appear to have any album art at all. Sometimes it shows the incorrect album art that iTunes had automatically downloaded.
For example, I'm just listening to my "Ultra Dance 02" album on my iPod. I remember that after ripping, iTunes incorrectly added album art for "Ultra.iDance 05". I fixed that by select-all, get-info, and drag-and-dropping the correct art. After syncing with my iPod, all songs show the correct "Ultra Dance 02" artwork, except for track 6, which still shows "Ultra.iDance 05"
What's going on? How do I ensure that the changes that I make stick? And how do I fix such an error?
Also, is there a way to associate album art with a whole album, rather than each song individually?
-Ron.

Even if iTunes recognized it, you cannot use iTunes to transfer from iPod to computer (except for songs purchased from the iTunes Store). You need to use a third-party program. Here is an article on that topic.
http://lifehacker.com/394046/copy-music-from-your-iphone-or-ipod-to-your-compute r-for-free
However, if your hard drive's data is in bad shape, it may be difficult to recover all of your songs files.
Note: The hard drive may have data corruption, but the iPod may work better after you use the Restore button in iTunes. The Restore process erases the iPod and initializes the iPod's software. It won't fix a hardware problem if the drive is becoming faulty. But it may fix the problem if it is only data corruption.
