Album Art Not In Song List View

I have an iPhone 3GS running iOS 4.2.1. When I bring up the iPod application and select "Albums" I see the list of all of the albums with the covers. I also have album covers in cover flow. Howerver, when I click on the album to display the songs there is no album cover in the upper left hand of the screen, just a big empty space. This is the only place that I don't have album covers. I'm using the latest version of iTunes (10.1.1).
Anyone know how to fix this?
I deleted the photo cache and resynched my iPhone to see if that would fix the order of my photos, which it did not. That might have something to do with it.
Thanks,
Mike

OK, I got this fixed. In iTunes I removed the music from my iPhone and the reinstalled the music on my iPhone. All is well now.

Album Art not showing in Artists view!

Album art on song list view?

So I was just watching a TV spot for the iPhone and I noticed that on the demo when the iPod button is pressed, the song list shows up. On the Song list, I (just now) noticed that apparently the album art is showing up on the left of the song title. Additionally, the video tutorial here on Apple's site shows the same thing.
My question is this: When in iPod mode, my iPhone will display album art when I select a song, or when I rotate the iPhone to landscape view but not while I'm viewing the song list. Is there a way to get album art for a song to display in the list and if so, how?

When you view Albums in a list.
On the iPod vertical view, there is a MORE button on the bottom right. You hit that, hit Albums, and the songs list out one by one with little covers on the left.

Album Art - Not showing all in Album View or Cover Flow

Recently I redid my Itunes Libary where with one artist with songs from several different albums, (and album artwork), renamed the album under Get Info to "Greatest Hits". Now, the specific album art for each song shows when the song is playing, but under Album View/Cover Flow only one Album Art shows for each artist. Assume this had something to do with my renaming multiple songs for the artist to Greatest Hits. Is there any way to get back the specific Album Art for each song under Album View/Cover Flow? Thanks.

If you are only adding it to one song, that won't work. Itunes itself does this for artwork that it finds automatically, but if you want to add them yourself you have to add the artwork to every track. Find the track that you added the artwork to copy the artwork using command - C , then select all of the tracks at the same time in itunes, do a get info and paste the artwork into the artwork window of the tagging window.

Songs Won't Play, Album Art Not Modifiable, ID3 Tags, Need Help

I have a 32 GB iPod Touch, Windows Vista, the latest version of iTunes and Quicktime as well as the latest iPod software.
I noticed the other day that a bunch of my songs were missing album art. I have a library with almost 7,000 songs and I have album art for everything. I went to the songs to attempt to fix the album art and noticed that it said, Album Art Not Modifiable, in the Album Art preview screen. I thought that was weird and it wouldn't let me add new album art to these albums.
I also noticed that none of these songs would play. They wouldn't play on my iPod or on iTunes. You can click play and it looks like it's going to play, but the counter never leaves "0".
I thought something was wrong with my files and that I would have to re rip or download the songs. However, by chance I opened one of the songs in Window Media Player and it worked, so I knew the files were fine.
I did a search online and found several people with the same problem and a few things to try. But nothing worked until I stumbled upon a solution of setting the ID3 tags to version "None", then setting them to version 2.4. I tried it and it worked.
But now it keeps happening, I get a new group of albums every day that won't play.
Can anyone tell me what is causing this?
How do I prevent it?
Do I really need to take every song in my library and change the ID3 tags, that could take forever?
Could anyone please help and shed some light on this.
Thank You

Thanks for replying, Please read our Operating System details before taking a guess about what 'could' be the problem...
I think I figured it out anyway, Windows Media Player might be adding extra information that iTunes does not like, either Windows Media Player and/or iTunes 7.7.1 don't conform to ID3 v2.4 standards...
Please fix your software, Apple. I know how you love to be unique and mock PC users with your one-sided advertisements but at least conform to the ID3 standards.

Song data changes and album art not updating

I've been using itunes for a couple of years pretty smoothly, but lately (past 2 months or so), I've noticed a degradation in the performance. When I go to update the album art or other song info for a whole ablum at a time, maybe only 6 tracks are updated. It can take 4 or 5 repeated attempts before it finally "sticks" for some tracks. This also happens sometimes when I'm updating a single track, but there doesn't seem to be any rhyme or reason to which tracks are affected and which aren't.
Other functions are fine: playback, burning, importing, just the maintenance of the data attached to tracks.
My first guess is RAM, I've only got 256 megs, and my library sits a little over 50 gigs. I know upgrading my RAM makes sense on many levels, but I couldn't find any topics with a similar problem, so I wanted to rule out other possibilites too.
Thanks!

I think they've all been ripped, and Gracenote didn't have correct or complete info. Not all of the tags were v2.3, but they were v2.2 at least. Was there really that big of a difference between the revisions?
I just tried updating the tags to v2.3, and the same thing happened! Only 3 of the 16 tracks show as having updated to v2.3, the rest are still v2.2, or oddly enough show as none (despite having info displayed in the library and "get info" screens). I bet I can get the remaining tracks to v2.3 after repetition, but it's a pain to have to do the same action 5 times to make it stick.
Not the source of the problem, but a complicating factor was that I tried the wmp11 beta, and it seemed to have stolen the album art from itunes. Those albums which showed up in wmp (only about 15-20% of my collection)were the exact same ones which disappeared in itunes. When I went to repair the album art gaps in itunes is when this issue went from a minor annoyance to a clear sign something was wrong.

Why does iTunes display the same album art for different songs, but from the same artist?

Hi,
a couple of days ago I decided I wanted all of my songs to have an album art. Before I didn't actually care, but since I discovered the view mode with the album arts at the top (the fourth one) I began searching for the right arts, since I like it this way.
I've stumbled upon a problem though. When I add two or more songs from the same artist, iTunes chooses to assign the same album art to the songs. It chooses the album art of the song I added first to my music library. How do I get it to show the proper album art?
I use a program called 'Mp3Tag' to change all the information of my songs. When it's just a single, I end up having an 'artist', 'title', 'genre' and 'cover'. The rest of the information doesn't bother me. With albums I add more information though.
Here's an example:
I added two songs, one being 'Usher - Climax (Kaskade Remix)' and the other one being 'Usher - Scream'. The one added first was 'Scream'. As you can see below, iTunes somehow assigns the same album art to both songs, while clicking on 'get info' clearly shows the songs have different album arts.
I discovered something else though:
When adding an 'album name' to the songs, they will show properly, as seen below. The thing is though, I don't want to add an album name. When I sync the songs to my iPod, my 'albums' list will show all of the songs as well, which I don't want.
Is there any way to solve this another way where iTunes won't sort by album, but by song title?
Thanks in advance.

Can anyone please answer my question?

Album Art not saved

Hi, i am trying to include album art to my songs and i click and drag to the space for album art. It seems it is saved because it appears. but if i select another song and then i come back to the song i set the album art, there ir no album art.
What is happening?
In preious versions i did not hace this bug.

I have to chime in here too. I am also not able to get iTunes to save album artwork I've downloaded from other online sources (Amazon, other JPEG images of album covers, etc). I've tried various methods (selecting individual song, drag artwork to viewer box or open the Info dialog and drag image to that ARTWORK tab or use the ADD button to locate image files, and also trying to select a whole album and dragging the image to the multiple selected songs) but nothing works. I've checked by making sure the viewer box is on Selected Song rather than Playing Song, etc etc. It just doesn't want to keep the song artwork no matter what I do.
I am the admin for the computer so permissions shouldn't be an issue, but how do I check?
I'm using iTunes 6.0.1 and I've tried this on many different songs. It does keep the artwork for songs I've purchased thru ITMS, natch, just not the ones I've ripped from my own CD collection.
Does the artwork need to be saved to a specific place to work? I looked thru folders in my library and couldn't find image files for songs I've purchased.
I hope somebody can help!

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.

Syncing Issues: album art, cut-off songs

I have a 16GB iPod Touch that I've been syncing with my Windows Vista PC, seemingly without complications. It has only recently come to my attention that somewhere between my computer's library and my library on my iPod, something is messing up at random times. Full songs will become half-songs, 30-second songs, on the iPod. They are not damaged on my PC, but when they get uploaded to the iPod, they get messed up. If I re-upload them, sometimes the problem goes away, sometimes it cuts in a different spot. This is immensely frustrating, as I do not know how to fix it or what is causing it to begin with.
More recently I have discovered that all the work I have done organizing my library and getting everything to have album covers is wasted when I try to put these albums on my Touch. The album covers entirely disappear, and I have to copy and paste them in, which takes about five minutes per album (slow write speed?). Seems pretty lame to have a product focused on the ability to flip through albums visually, and then have the album art not automatically download with my music.
Any help?

I finally have the fix for this issue after a month of extensive debugging, experimentation, etc. on Windows Vista. I've reinstalled my whole **** computer twice, and Apple's phone support is a (bad) joke. They should just send me the script they use so I can read it myself.
First off, let's establish the symptoms of this problem:
* Data sync'ed to my iPod Touch would corrupt at random points. Sometimes songs would go through intact. Other times they would "glitch" partway through and the device would advance to the next song. Video files of a sufficient size -- like movies and T.V. episodes -- ALWAYS glitch at some point, which crashes the video playback and brings the device back to the video menu.
* Periodically, the iPod Touch would corrupt completely, which required a total firmware restoration. Rarely, these firmware restorations would also fail.
Now for the solution. It's a two-part deal:
1) Stop "Windows Search." It's not the major cause of sync problems, but it is a contributor, which is unsurprising given the amount of resources it hogs. Open the "Services" control panel item (Control Panel->System and Maintenance->Administrative Tools->Services, or just type "services.msc" into the "search" box on the Start Menu) and double-click "Windows Search." Click "stop" and set the startup type to "disabled," then click "OK."
2) This next part is going to be a bitter pill to swallow. When Microsoft launched Vista, it created a new "security feature" called PatchGuard which disallows direct kernel access to third-party applications. Antivirus vendors like McAfee, Symantec, Avast, etc. all have to use a kernel API rather than direct kernel access. However, Microsoft's own antivirus product -- Windows Live OneCare -- has complete access to the kernel without an API.
This appears to have created a weird situation with iTunes. I have reinstalled my system twice, both with 32-bit and 64-bit versions of Vista, and it seems that merely having a third-party antivirus product installed is sufficient to cause this problem. I've tried Avast, McAfee, Symantec and TrendMicro's products. The problem will not go away even if you turn off scanning, put in exceptions, etc. With Avast, I even terminated all of its processes and stopped its services. No dice. Just having a third-party antivirus product installed -- EVEN IF IT IS NOT RUNNING -- will cause this issue.
However, the second you UNINSTALL your third-party antivirus software, the problem goes away -- every time. I've sync'ed movies over and over again to test this, and it's definitely the primary source of the problem.
Obviously, running without antivirus software in this day and age is unacceptable, but there is one product that's free from this problem; in fact, it's the only product that still has direct kernel access. I'm running Windows Live OneCare on a 90-day trial right now, and after running more tests, I've confirmed my hypothesis. Any antivirus product with direct kernel access is fine. The problem is that Windows Live OneCare is the ONLY antivirus product right now with direct kernel access.
If you're running Windows Vista 32-bit, there may possibly be a second antivirus option. My Windows Vista-based gaming laptop uses Computer Associates' AV product, and it's never had a problem syncing with my iPod. I haven't really tested other products on it, though, so your mileage may vary. I can't say for certain that it's a safe bet.
So there you have it: one month of my nights and weekends down the toilet to fix an issue Apple and Microsoft should be handling. I feel like I've paid $500 for the privilege of being an unpaid Apple Q.A. tester. At this point, they should pay ME for the time I've wasted on this issue.

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 showing on iPod

This has been an annoying problem the past several years of using iTunes, I was able to get some versions of the iTunes to work but I just uploaded the new 7.5 iTunes version...and when I try to add an album art to the songs on my iPod they don't show up except on iTunes.
Is this iTunes version being screwy? Anyone else with the same problem, anyone with a solution?

I'm having the same problem, iTunes could not find the album art for several imported albums so I scanned the cover, it shows on iTunes perfectly but not on my iPod

Itunes 10- Song List View is just a black screen!!

I recently updated to itunes 10, initially it was working fine. Today, my computer bugged out while shutting down and I had to hold the power button on it. When it rebooted I scanned for viruses, errors, adware, etc... I have re-downloaded itunes and selected the 'Repair' option, but it did not help. I have made sure I am up-to-date on both itunes and quicktime updates. I have not seen any similar problems such as this while searching the internet, so I am posting here. If I hit the play button it will still play the songs from whatever playlist I am currently in, and the grid view works, but when I want to view the song list (which is the way i always use my itunes) it just turns the window within itunes, the window that has the song list, completely black. This happens for all of my playlists, recently added, full music collection, any playlist that can be viewed using the song list view. Is there anyone who has also experienced this? What can I do? It took me over 10 hours to create this playlist with the large amount of music I have and I would not be happy to have to sit there an go brain dead again creating it.... please help!

Tylerdowner, as a moderator, one would think that, prior to adjusting comments/solutions, especially when not having a Mac, you would do more research (bet you know someone with a Mac, to duplicate problem), or pass responding on to a moderator who does have a Mac (I am amazed that you are even a moderator on Mac problems/situations, if you only have access to a PC). Had the solutions above worked, I would not have needed to figure out another solution (we all know the newest release of anything is the most secure). Finally I am open to any fixes (tested) that you can provide, that improve upon mine. As a moderator, maybe you have pull with the Foxtab and/or Adobe people to get them to work out compatibility, and lastly, maybe add a warning at the Foxtab add-ons page, after verifying the problem yourself, with an associate's/friend's Mac.
