Album Art not appearing on iPhone

For the life of me, I cannot change the songs from "Abbey Road" to appear as that album on my iPhone. By that I mean each individual song will have the album art when played, but in my list of albums, "Abbey Road" will appear blank. That, is, not the blue music note, but actually just white space. It's not a matter of the tracks not having identical info, as they do. I have repeatedly selected them all, got the info and made sure they have the same album title, band name, image for artwork. I have also tried removing the folder from the iTunes music library, then adding it to my library again, variations of this, etc. The files themselves will all look uniform with the album art if I go into Finder, etc. I tried renaming the album with jibberish like "AAAAAAAA" and it will work. Everything will be perfect...track names, artist info, album art....but then the second I go and change the jibberish to the words "Abbey Road," it gives me the white space again on my iPhone.

SOLUTION: After 48 hours, 100% of the artwork is now appearing. If it's in iTunes, it's on the iPhone.
However, there's a few hoops I jumped through to make it all work:
In iTunes, if album art is not showing in the Grid view, buy you know you have album art associated with it, select Get Info on any of the tracks. Magically, the album art appears in Grid view. Repeat for all albums with missing art.
When you're all done with the art, in iTunes, select [store] [update iTunes Match]
Wait 24 hours
It appears that the iPhone processor is not fast enough to display album art quickly with a large library. On my iPhone it takes about 10 seconds to load a full page of artwork in Album view. If you're flipping quickly through your library, expect it to take a while to catch up. It appears that album art is loaded via an Internet connection, because they do not load in Airplane mode. So, it seems that the robustness of this UI depends on your Internet connection.
Project is closed in my book.
Good luck with yours!

Cover Flow Album Art Not Appearing

Hi!
I have a large Itunes library and before the 7.3.1 update all of my album art was appearing correctly in both the "Now Playing" box and in cover flow. Since I have installed the 7.3.1 version of iTunes, alot of album art is appearing in the "Now Playing" box but NOT in cover flow. This is only for a select few (40+ albums), and the rest are fine
Can any help me out this with this?
Thanks!
Powerbook 17', OS X, ITunes7.3.1, External HD Mac OS X (10.4.10) Iphone attached

They are all still there!
7.3 is broken.
I replaced it with 7.2 and all is well until they fix the problem. This list is full of this problem!

Album Art not coming in iPhone

I have downloaded some music but not from iTunes music store.
Now when i have synced my iPhone with Mac,i am not able to get the album art in iPhone which is being displayed in the itunes in my Mac.
How can I make it appear in the songs in my iPhone ?
Thanks

Well, specifically, it started when I decided (in no way related to this problem) to rename one of the genres in my library (Rap/Hip-Hop to Hip-Hop/Rap). After I did that, and synced my iPhone so the genre changes would be reflected on my phone, I realized that the albums within the Hip-Hop/Rap genre that had missing artwork, was showing up.
I tried to experiment by going to the albums in R&B and Alternative that had the missing artwork problem, and tried changing the genre to Unknown, and changing it back, then syncing. That didn't work, however. So, I changed the genre again, and unchecked the albums so they wouldn't sync (I have my iTunes setup so only checked songs sync). I synced my phone so the albums were removed from my phone all together. I changed the genre back to their proper genres, re-checked the albums, and then synced. Lo and behold, the albums were on my iPhone with the proper artwork.
I don't know why, but it worked. It sounds like you did everything I did, short of changing the genre, and I'd be surprised if that solved the issue. But you can give it a shot. If you look at my earlier posts, however, my problem wasn't exactly common.

Album art not tagged properly iPhone 4

In iTunes, ALL my songs have their album art covers TAGGED PROPERLY!
Upon transfer to iPhone, the art covers are NOT Synced/Tagged properly as the art covers of songs uses art covers from other songs!
EVERY TIME I correct this, it still is messed up!!
I had to RESTORE my iPhone then load back up ALL the songs, etc... back onto my iPhone 4 and it still does NOT WORK!
I then used MP3Tag to PROPERLY TAG ALL the album art covers to my songs then re-import those songs BACK INTO ITUNES 10.x.x.
Even when I manually correct it and it shows the art cover properly in iTunes, when I disconnect the iPhone and go to those SAME songs that I fixed, the art covers are MESSED UP AGAIN!!!
Weird thing is...
1. This problem ONLY occurs on the iPhone!!
2. This problem does NOT occur on my iTouch or Nano or iPods!
3. This issue has been around since the Original iPhone and still present through iPhone 4 as I've looked online and found MANY users have posted about the same problems!
WTH IS GOING ON?!?!
Why hasn't Apple FIXED this **** problem by now?!
Any suggestions would be appreciated as I'm really PO about this!
Thank you!

"bump"
does anyone have any answers to this?
I have tried updating my video drivers, I am running directX 9, and i tried the dxdiag and everything is fine. DirectDraw Acceleration and Direct 3D Acceleration are both Enabled.

Album art not appearing...

Hi all very new to this, but looks like people are getting some good help here. I was approved by iTunes a few days ago. I am using hipcast for hosting and feedburner for tracking. I think I have done everything correct so far. I have been reading around that sometimes it takes a while for album art to propagate across the apple servers. I wanted to have you guys take a look at my feed and see if that was probably the problem, or if I goofed something up.
heres the feed

any help would be great

Please when you have a query post the URL of your feed, not its contents. For the record, your feed is at
http://loserslunch.hipcast.com/rss/loserslunch.xml
This is the feed which iTunes is using. The Feedburner feed is irrelevant since it has not been submitted to iTunes. If you want to use the Feedburner feed you will have to follow the steps detailed here to point iTunes to it instead of the current one.
The 'podcast image' is correctly referenced in the feed: it can sometimes take several days before it appears in the Store, and even longer before it appears in the Search results. Give it a few more days and it should appear.
However the image referenced in the feed does not appear for subscribers: if you want subscribers to see an image you have to embed it in the actual media file. Please see this page for a detailed explanation.

Herts is having the same issue: http://itunes.apple.com/WebObjects/MZStore.woa/wa/viewPodcast?id=398994343 displays fine on the collection page but not on the Homepage. I noticed this with another one last week but that fixed itself within 24hrs. This collection was added on Monday but is still not displaying an image on the Homepage.
Also 2 additional items were added to the Philosophy collection on Monday and are still not showing on the live site. They show up in preview mode though.

Album Art Not Appearing in Album View

I have just upgraded to iTunes 10. I have all of my music attached to album artwork. The artwork shows up in Cover Flow, but does not appear in Alum View. I don't know if that is because in some cases I only have one song from an album instead of all of it, or not. I do not know how iTunes is determining valid artwork.
Any help you be appreciated.

The "why" seems to be that that somebody thought that in the old layout albums with only one or two tracks were consuming too much screen area because of the way that artwork followed by album, artist and rating could create large unused areas where details would go. I can't say I've noticed anyone actually complain on these boards about it as a problem but there you are. Personally I find the solution worse, particularly at home where I have a small screen, as the new layout uses much more space horizontally. I also miss the vertical grid lines and user selectable artwork size. All in all an uneccesary attempt to fix something that wasn't broken.

Album art not in sync with music played on my iPhone

I have re-synced, deleted my playlist and rebuilt them, still haven't found a solution.
On my computer in iTune, all is good, you play Mika, you'll see Mika as the album art.
On my iPhone, I hear Mika, I read Mika but I see the album art of Kate Voegele.
How can I get it back in sync?
Thank you

I did not have this problem with my ipod touch
I upgraded iTunes to 8.2.1
My iTunes PC artwork is beyond reproach.
I synced my ipod touch.
Only those songs synced since 8.2.1 have incorrect artwork.
All those songs synced before 8.2.1 have correct artwork.
It is not songs added to iTunes since 8.2.1 but a song in my library which was synced to my ipod SINCE 8.2.1
The same problem exists on my iPod Classic 160.
Therefore this is not a firmware or an iPod issue.
Seems we have the smoking gun. Apple? New fix of iTunes please? This is one of the most annoying bug introductions yet.

Podcast Get Info Album Art Not Saved for Future Episodes

I have iTunes 8. I noticed most of my podcasts have album art showing in grid view. When I upgraded to 2.1 on my iPhone and synced my iPhone I noticed no album art on the podcast main page on the iPhone. I decided to restore the phone to a new phone not backup and the new sync of my podcasts showed album art. However inside each podcast the album art wasn't showing on each episode.
Looking at iTunes for those affected episodes doing a Get Info showed not album art. I guess the podcast doesn't have album art. I right click on the podcast, not an episode, and select get info. I click on the album art box and check the box and inside the album art box double click which brings up a navigation display. I had already taken a screen shot of the album art in the iTunes music store for each podcast. I import the graphic to the album art box and save. All the current episodes have their artwork updated. Now I sync to the iPhone and all is well.
If I download a new episode for this podcast and do a Get Info on this episode there is no artwork. Looking at the Get Info for the podcast the artwork was never saved. However if you change a text field in Get Info and then download a new podcast episode that text field in the get info of the episode is updated. Why doesn't the album art not get saved and update each episode that is downloaded with missing album art?
Am I missing something?
Thanks
Kelvin

Yeah, on my iPhone some of the album art for my podcasts was actaully changed to an arbitrary incorrect image. For example, instead of the Cranky Geeks logo, I get to look at New Kids on the Block (don't ask). I'm going to try unsubscribing from the podcast, deleting past episodes from my computer, sync the phone so it wipes out those old episodes and incorrect art, and then resubscribing and resyncing the phone. Hopefully that will transfer the correct art back up to the phone.

Album Art not displaying in iTunes

I have several mp3s where the album art does not display in iTunes, it does, however, display when I use other software such as MediaMonkey or foobar2000. The album artowork is stored in the tag. I've tried retagging them within iTunes, but it doesn't always work and is a time consuming process. I've also tried removing the ID3v1 tag portion from the file and leave just the ID3v2.3 tag, but no success either. Any thoughts?

It only happens wih some files, and I can't seem to find out what the correlation is.
If I take a series of mp3s where the album art cannot be displayed in iTunes but can in MediaMonkey or, extract the album art from the the tag through MediaMonkey (iTunes artwork fetching usually gives me poor results), and then assign the album art through iTunes, yes the album art does appear to be saved and displayed through iTunes. But that's a process.
Additionally, if I reassign the artwork in MediaMonkey (not readding it, just reapplying the assignment to all selected items) the artwork will show up in iTunes.
I'm going to play around with Mp3Tag and see if that yields anything.

Embedded Album Art not Displaying Showing in Windows Explorer

Trying To Clean up my Music Collection using windows explorer. Embedding album art works fine for MP3's yet it is not replacing the (film/file/musicnote/baloon/) icon for Mpeg4 - M4A files.
What annoying is that the embedded art may be present but I can't tell just by looking at the individual files. how can I get confirmation outside of loading up itunes?
is it possible for me to get the embedded art to display in place of the file icon in windows explorer for these file types? if so, how?

Album artwork not appearing on Apple TV

Album artwork not appearing on Apple TV anyone with same problem or fix

Bilk you're not alone! No Album Art work will load on my Apple TV now, despite having artwork for ALL my albums, my iOS devices display the the artwork (iTunes Match) I live in the UK. (Virgin Media customer) I've had nothing but problems since the last 2 OS updates, I have 3rd and 2nd gen Apple TVs, both now have the same problems, I have done full restore on both devices, still doesn't work. I hope Apple fixes the software soon.

Album Art not showing up?

Has anyone else had a problem with their album art not showing up in coverflip? These are all CD's that I own and ripped onto my computer with iTunes, and if I look at them in iTunes I can see the cover art. But when I turn my ipod sideways to flip through the albums, I see a bunch of black squares. Some of the albums I can see the artwork when it's not the selected album, but if I scroll to it, the art disappears and it's just an empty black square. The only albums where this seems to work properly are the ones I bought and downloaded digitally through iTunes, but most of my music collection is CD's, so I'm really hoping there's a way to fix this.
I've already tried googling pictures of the album art and re-tagging the songs with the picture on there, and it does do a sync afterwards, but I'm still seeing black squares. I also tried deleting one of the albums from my ipod entirely, and reloading it, and that worked the first time I went into coverflip, but in subsequent tries it has reverted back to being just a black square.

use the search discussions box. there are loads of threads on this. you definitely aren't alone
the only real solution i've seen is to re-sync the problem tracks, i've probably missed some though, so it's worth looking around.

Photo album does not appear on the web but does in a published folder

**** everyone,
My problem is the following: I started to create little webpage with iweb. At the moment it just consist of a photo gallery, one blog entry and one video. To test it I published itto a folder on my hardisk and the website worked perfectly. So I uploaded it to my server (I have no .mac account). When opening the site over the internet the start page looks perfect, as well as the video page but on the album page the album doeas not appear!!!
The URL is: www.voyage64.com just click on "Photoalben" (it´s a german page) and there is just nothing, There should be an album which also appears in the page published to a folder on my harddrive.
Another thing that does not work is the blog. When you enter "blog" you will see the list with one entry listed, that works fine on the web but if you click on that entry it tells you that the file was not found on the server but it is there, this also works on the published folder on my hardrive. The confusing thing is: I´ve another website on my server with a blog with more entries that just works fine.
Maybe it´s something with the RSS because I tested other stuff and whenever the RSS logo is visible in the adressfield in the browser something does not work. I actually don´t need any of that RSS stuff but there is no way to disable that.
Maybe it´s a fault with my server but I´m not a specialist in stuff like that.
So thanks in advance for your replies,
kind regards,
David

I followed the topic concerning the Firefox photoalbum problem but I´m using Safari and the albums will not show up on the web !!!! I also exchanged the detailview and headercontrol *js which worked fine for opening the photoalbum on my harddisk with firefox. But when its uploaded to the server it won´t display and that in Safari!!!! On the published folder on my harddisk everything works fine
www.voyage64.com
just cklick on "photoalben" no album apears. Does anyone have the same problem with safari ???
regards,
David

Installing art when "Album Art Not Modifiable"

I was recently trying to drag and drop album artwork into the iTunes photo receptacle in the lower left hand corner and noticed that it read "Album Art Not Modifiable". Does that mean I can't paste anything there? There's no art at all currently, even when I ask iTunes to find the album art for that CD. If anyone knows of a way to override this, I'd appreciate it. Thank you.

Is that really true?
'Cause being new to this, I've only just added a few albums as .wav and succesfully downloaded album art, using the functionality within Itunes. And this should not have been possible?For instance Loretta Lynn "Van Lear Rose", Emmylou Harris "Stumble into grace" and Elvis Costello/Burt Bacharach "Painted from Memory" all worked just fine. But Itunes was not able to download album art for all my albums - Simply Red "Greatest Hits" from 1996 was one that did not work. So I browsed the internet and was able to find jpegs of this album art, which I know have stored locally. But how do I get that into Itunes?
brgds,
Linus
