Album art not syncing

This was briefly mentioned in a couple of threads, but I thought it should have a thread of its own.
I got my pre-order Touch yesterday (week 38), and everything for the most part looks great. I've had no internet problems, screen problems, syncing problems, etc.
When I first synced my iPod, it took a while, which I expected. After syncing, I immediately began listening to music and strolling through cover flow. Everything looked fine. When I synced it again, removing some albums that I just never listen to, I noticed that some album art isn't present. Also, when I synced it this time, it said that there was some diagnostic information from my iPod being sent to Apple.
Now, there is no album art for albums beginning with T through those starting with #'s. In cover flow, you can see the album art only when it's not being viewed directly. If you go directly to it on cover flow, you just see the blank box. In list mode, it just shows the typical blank box for album art for these albums. A change had to take place, because the first album I listened to had album art. Now, it doesn't.
Are there any others having this problem?

I am having this issue and too want to know how to fix it. :[

Album Art Not Syncing Correctly!!!!

Album art not syncing on iPod Video

Hi.
I'm new to iPods. Don't hate me.
I purchased a bunch of songs at work on my G5. That's not my "home" Mac. I copied them to my iPod in drive mode, brought them back to the "home" Mac. Added them to iTunes by drag and drop. Synced. They show up in iTunes and on my iPod, but the album art is not there. What happened?
Again, I purchased them on a different computer and loaded to my "home" Mac.
Is it at all possible for the art to show up?
Thanks!

The album art is stored in the iPod's database. This should work...

Album Art not syncing properly since updating Touch and iTunes (Mac and Win

Both my partner and I are both experiencing problems with cover art on our Touches.
He uses Vista and I use a Mac - before we updated everything was fine. iTunes displays the right album art but when you run through coverflow on the touches you end up with random album art. Currently I have a Janet Jackson album cover on an album belonging to A-ha.
The same problems occurs with my partners touch.
Is this a bug in the Touch update or iTunes update? Can it be fixed - I am not sure how though as iTunes appears to be displaying the right information!

I have not seen this behavior, but you might want to try a restore on the Touch to see if that helps.
I have to wonder about something possibly being wrong on your library - possibly outdated or bad ID3 tags.
YOu could try to fix this by: (I saw this fixed issues for others elsewhere, but I have not done it)
Open iTunes.
Select all of your music in your library.
Goto the Advanced menu and select "Convert ID3 tags"
Select ID3 tag version and select 2.4 from the drop-down menu, click OK.
It will take a while, depending on how much music you have.
Restore the iPod(s) and sync again.
Does that fix it?

Album art not syncing on 3G

Whenever I sync my iPhone with iTunes, it only syncs some of my album artwork, and then about half of it appears with the standard blank, even though it has artwork assigned to it on iTunes.
Any ideas what the issue could be?

Just discovered a way to not fix this problem, but stop it from happening again.
I suspect our lost artwork was from copy/pasting the artwork into itunes. somehow the syncing with the iphone, has made itunes 'forget' where it saved the temporary file of the copy/pasted artwork.
So...
i created a folder in itunes (user > music >itunes > album artwork) call 'manual'. i physically saved the JPEGS in there for all the artwork i wanted to add manually.
i then went back to itunes, selected the albums with the missing art, did 'get info' (apple I) on one of the songs in each album, and then instead of copy/pasting the art into Artwork tab, i did 'Add' then selected the JPEG file from my 'manual' folder.
next sync (and all subsequent syncs so far), the problem has not re-appeared.
HOWEVER! oddly it still affects one CD. no idea why. the artwork is in Itunes, but just doesn't show on the iphone. no idea why.
BOTTOM LINE Apple need to fix this bug. It's really irritating.
And one quick way around this is to stop users having to manually add album art all the time. All my songs are on itunes to buy, so there is no reason why iTunes couldnt supply the artwork. Apple need to link the database they use to recognise CDs (when you 'rip' them to iTunes) with their own itunes store database, so if the track data or album art is missing, you have the option to 'find this album'. this would be a fantastic feature.

Album artwork not syncing

Ever since the new iTunes and Yosemite I find most of my album art is missing on my iPhone 5S. It's all in iTunes and looks just fine. It's mostly missing on my iPhone. I've tried removing my music library from the iPhone and then re-syncing it from scratch. Still hasn't worked. I thought maybe some one here might have an answer.
Yosemite 10.10.1 (14B25)
iTunes 12.0.1.26
iOS 8.1.2
Thanks!
Steve

These instructions will have to be modified if you've moved the iTunes folder from its usual location.
Back up all data before proceeding.
Triple-click anywhere in the line below on this page to select it:
~/Music/iTunes/Album Artwork/Cache
Right-click or control-click the line and select
Services ▹ Reveal in Finder (or just Reveal)
from the contextual menu.* A folder should open with a subfolder named "Cache" selected. Quit iTunes if it's running. Move the selected folder to the Trash. Relaunch the application and re-download all album artwork.
*If you don't see the contextual menu item, copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. In the Finder, select
Go ▹ Go to Folder...
from the menu bar and paste into the box that opens by pressing command-V. You won't see what you pasted because a line break is included. Press return.

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.

My iPod 4G, after reset and iOS 6 install, now has only some album art after syncing music. Even music directly downloaded from iTunes is missing album art. (I'm using iTunes 11.0.1 on Windows Vista)

My iPod 4G, after a reset and iOS6 install, after I recopied and synced music, is missing most album art. Even songs directly downloaded from iTunes are missing album art. I'm using iTunes 11.0.1 on Windows Vista. My iPod isn't full. Whenever I go to "On This iPod" and add album art and sync, nothing happens. Please help :/

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.

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,

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.

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!

Purchased albums- do not sync in order

My purchased albums do NOT sync in the playlist order of the album. Shuffle is NOT on.
Now I am getting messages that my software is too old, click on the tab on my nano. WHAT TAB?
Gateway crap desktop Windows XP Intel Pentium III, over 512mb RAM

In iTunes, on the screen that comes up when you plug in your nano, there is an Update button. Does it say that the iPod needs to be updated or does it need updating?
If it needs an update, update it.
Also, how are you viewing the albums? That may be affecting what order you are seeing them in. Go to Music>Albums>then find the albums. does that help?
If not, try a Restore. (right next to the Update button).
Also, the iPod nano Forums may help you more in the future.
I hope this helps and post back!

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!
