Album art not being synced correctly

I used an external tagging program to embed album art into all my song files. They show up correctly in iTunes when selected or playing, but they do not, in all cases, sync to the iPod. However, I have found that if I go to an album that has art in iTunes and does not sync to the iPod, and play each track just for an instant, and resync, the art transfers. What's weird is that it's not consistently NOT showing up on the iPod... and I certainly don't want to have to hunt down every piece of music with art that doesn't sync to the iPod and play that song. Is there a way to make iTunes refresh the library without deleting the database? I don't use iTunes to manage my physical music files.

Thank You, now I can see the art work when I play the songs in itunes but now when I play a song on my ipod it doesnt display the artwork with the title on the ipod itself.
I've tried everything.
Thank you for your help!

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.

Album art not being displayed when I play music!

I input the album art into my library and the ipod and when I “get info” it will display the artwork but not when I play the songs on the ipod! What am I doing wrong?

Album art not being displayed for some songs.

I've recently imported some MP3 files and used the "Get Album Artwork" option to get the cover art. I've noticed for all of these songs the album artwork will not display in Front Row on a remote machine using the sharing feature. Same in iTunes if I try to play these songs via sharing. If I add the cover art myself, I don't have this issue.
Anyone else running into this? Does anyone know a fix or workaround (other than removing the artwork and manually readding it)?
All my machines have the latest versions of all software.
Thanks
Curt

Thanks! You are right. There's an Album Artwork folder and I scp'd one of my "affected" mp3s to another machine and the artwork was absent. Seems like Apple should've just added the artwork to the mp3 file as if it was manually added. Perhaps they had a reason not to, though.

Album art not showing consistently on iPhone *lockscreen*

iTunes occasionally has trouble with album art, especially after syncs or updates (album art disappearing, or being reshuffled to the wrong mp3s, etc.).
The current problem is different. Normally, with the iPhone's (iPod) music playing, the album art will replace the wallpaper on the lock screen. Lately, this feature has stopped being consistent. Some tracks will display album art on the lock screen, some won't. Those that won't, do have album art embedded (100% certain of this). In one instance, the album art displayed was a mishmash of two different albums' art (again, only on the lock screen). Editing the mp3s to reinsert the album art in iTunes, and then re-syncing, has not solved the problem.
This is probably an issue with how iTunes is handling/editing those mp3s affected, or it may be an iPhone bug. There's nothing outstanding about the specific tracks in question - in every other way they appear to be normal (write enabled, and album art showing in track info).
This problem only occurs @ the lock screen. In iPod view, and album view, display of the album art is normal for all tracks.
I have noticed this also happening with other audio sources (ie, third party audio streaming apps, which normally show some kind of album art @the lock screen).
Thanks for any feedback.

I too have been having this issue & I've read the articles, advices & other discussions, but none of them fixes this issue. I reboot & still see the wrong album art on the lock screen. It is very annoying especially when you have iTunes with software that was purchased to "automajically" present the correct album artwork. For those of us who actually precise about how our libraries are organized this is a big deal. You spends hours days in keeping things organized, just for the sync to not resemble the labor...
I have both the iPhone 4 & an iPod Touch 2nd gen. You'd think Apple would get stuff like this together before approving it for an update. No one can convince me different... Apple & Windows now both have the same MO! Get a new team of testers.

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.

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.

Ever since I downloaded the latest itunes update songs have not been syncing correctly and now they aren't all no matter what I do the settings on my iphone 4s or itunes on my PC.

I recently had trouble updating my itunes, when I did do it I kept getting an error message and because of that I had to uninstall everything than reinstall itunes. But since then my iphone, ipad, and ipod are not really syncing correctly. My PC says its going through the steps and applying everything but when I got to my phone nothing is updated at all. Nothing is being applied and I did the run diagnostics as well and it said that everything was fine. When I got what is on this phone it says the playlists are on my phone but when I go to the music app on my phone the playlists aren;t there at all. I've gone through all my settings on my computer and iphone and they are all what they should for the songs to transfer correctly and it still isn't working.

So, in iTunes, when you look at the shuffle's content (in the sidebar) and click on the playlist under the shuffle, over to the right, the songs are in your desired order, correct? Where do you look, or what do you do, that indicates the playlists are in alphabetical order? Are you saying that when you play the songs while using the shuffle, they play in alphabetical order?
If so, when you listen to the songs on the shuffle, are you using the playlist, or are you using the All Songs list? If you are in the default All Songs list, with the shuffle's power switch set to play-in-order (the middle position), the songs play alphabetically, I believe.
The 3rd gen shuffle uses VoiceOver. If you are in the All Songs list, you need to use VoiceOver to switch to the playlist (see manual linked below for details). When you are in the playlist (with the shuffle's power switch set to play-in-order), then the songs should play in playlist order.
There are more details in the manual for the 3rd gen shuffle, which is online here
http://manuals.info.apple.com/en_US/iPod_shuffle_3rdGen_UG.pdf
See page 22 for the section about setting up and using VoiceOver. The part about switching playlists starts on page 23 (Using the Playlist Menu).

I have a lot of grief with this version of Windows Media Player.
It is very buggy and frustrating to use.
I have my Music library on a QNAP NAS, which is as reliable as they come.
System notifications make it not save changes. It also does not do a good job of interpreting albums and artists from folders. Changes to track names are not saved, nor are tracks moved to other albums, renamed albums, changes to genre, artist
or date. It separates and merges albums/tracks without sense or reason. Some changes I've made up to 4 times, then closed WMP and re-started my machine to check if it has/hasn't saved the changes. Often it has not.
This is the first time I've used WMP in this capacity, and I do not recommend it.
New service pack please.

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

TS1815 download album art not available thru itunes

How do you download album art not available in iTunes store.
I could copy and paste in the older version but not since the latest update
I'm using windows
Thanks Mark pianoman

I, too, relied on the name of the iTunes library being displayed on the top header bar of the iTunes window. I have 2 iTunes libraries that I go back and forth on all the time, and now I really have to look at the contents to figure out which library I'm in at any given moment. What a pain!! And what a stupid move to diminish functionality, Apple. You folks have been doing this more all the time lately -- taking away perfected functionality -- and either deleting it or changing it just for the sake of a new look. If it ain't broke, don't fix it!! Please!
A good example of that is the dim grey text in all too much Apple everything these days. Black is beautiful, please! And especially useful in reading!! And, apparently, enough people thought so, too, since I see black text is back in iTunes 11. It went grey, and you heard from enough people that that was something no one should have changed. Well, as the Gipper said: Here you go again! Bring back the Library Name. You've got plenty of room; you don't need to put it in another vertical space -- just put in in line with the other stuff you've got there. Put it left of the "Search Library." That would be fine. But, just do it!

Notes from iPad and iPhone are not being synced to my Mac with iCloud

I have been really hesitant to even use iCloud, but i just started to try to use it yesterday - and my Notes from my iPad and iPhone are not being synced together, and both Notes from my iPhone and iPad are not even being seen to my Mac.
What am i doing wrong with this?

Welcome to the Apple Community.
First check that all your settings are correct, that notes syncing (mail and notes on a computer) is checked on all devices (system preferences > iCloud on a mac and settings > iCloud on a iPhone, iPad or iPod).
Make sure the notes you are adding are added to your 'iCloud' account and not an 'On My Mac', 'On My Phone' or other non iCloud account (you can do this by checking in accounts on an iOS device, or the left side panel in mail on a computer), non iCloud notes will not sync.
If you are sure that everything is set up correctly and your notes are in the iCloud group, you might try unchecking notes syncing (mail and notes on a computer) in the iCloud settings, restarting your device and then re-enabling notes syncing.

Per-service SID's are not being granted correct permissions

Hi,
I had posted this here :
https://connect.microsoft.com/SQLServer/feedback/details/770984/per-service-sid-s-are-not-being-granted-correct-permissions, but no response as yet.
When installing SQL 2012 (on a VMWare VM), based on the following article :
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms143504(v=sql.110), I have noticed that the SQL per service SIDs are not being granted the correct permissions. From the initial install, the following is what was observed (the red x's being permissions that
should have been granted but were not).
When re-installing and changing from specifying a domain account, to the default values, during set-up, the 4 service SIDs that were not added to 'Log on as a Service' initially were then correctly granted permission, but the other 4 in 'Bypass traverse
checking', 'Adjust Memory Quotas for a process' and 'Impersonate a Client after authentication' were still not added.
When running a repair on this install, 'NT Service\MSSQLFDLauncher' was then granted the correct permissions, but 'NT SERVICE\MsDtsServer110' was still missing 'Bypass traverse checking' and 'Impersonate a Client after authentication'.
This also resulted in the installation of Reporting Services - Native failing in the original installation with 'Attempted to perform an unauthorized operation'.
If anyone has recently installed SQL 2012, can you check (via gpedit.msc) that the correct 'User Right Assignment' was granted to the per Service SIDs as per
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms143504(v=sql.110) ?

Have you resolved this yet? Group policy for the OU with my desktop removes all SQL per-service rights. If group policy is your issue, I'd be interested in how some are retained.
