Album art present in album folder, not displaying on iTunes import

I've got several albums which contain various JPGs of album art. I transfered all my files to an external drive before doing an erase and install for Leopard. Now once they are imported, the album art isn't displaying! Other than manually setting every album, is there a way to automate this process?

I don't think this is possible. The artwork needs to be stored in the iTunes folder on your computer hard drive in order for it to be displayed on the iPod.
It's in music/iTunes/iTunes artwork.

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.

ITunes 7 Errors/Glitches and Album Artwork Not Displaying on iPod

Looks like a lot of people are having problems with the new iTunes 7. After downloading iTunes7 and the new ipod updater, and having iTunes go and get the album artwork I was missing, some of the album artwork that displayed in iTunes would not display on my iPod (Gen 5). Very weird. I then tried to follow the suggestions on this board to deselect the "display album art on ipod" (in the Music tab of iPod preferences) so that I could then reselect and resynch (which supposed to fix the problem). It was very difficult to achieve this, as iTunes repeatedly had problems recognizing my ipod (even though it was sitting there in the source list). Managed to somehow get it to work, only to discover that while some missing album artwork had been added to ipod and properly displayed, others that had been there before were now gone (but were fine in iTunes)!!! And trying to repeat the deselect/reselect steps only resulted in more error messages ("The Settings were not saved for the iPod ___ because it could not be found." and "iPod update failed. disconnect and reconnect, then try again.")
I happen to have Apple Care for my iPod. Was on phone for ONE HOUR with rep who, while friendly, had no idea what was going on.
Okay Apple, I hope you're reading this, PLEASE FIX THE BUGS. I thought I escaped the problems of buggy software releases when I switched from Microsoft to Apple.

UPDATE on previous posting:
Okay, with help of previously mentioned Apple rep, I uninstalled and reinstalled iTunes 7 AND restored my iPod G5. After resynching my 5000+ songs, ALL the album artwork not displaying per previous posting is now displaying. HOWEVER (and Apple employees please take note here), when I tried to change the iPod settings AT ALL (e.g., deselect Synch Movies, TV Shows, Games, etc.) and then select APPLY, same problem!! So it appears this is where the problem lies. Somehow making any changes to these options and then hitting Apply causes the error ("...iPod could not be found" etc.) My workaround (since I am not intending to use iPod for movies or TV shows or games) is to change the Main Menu listings in Settings so I don't have to see them.
APPLE: PLEASE STUDY AND FIX! Thank you....

Does not display in iTunes -- How can I restore it?

I have not used my Nano for a while, and I upgraded to Leopard from Tiger since. I just plugged in my Nano and it briefly shows up in iTunes though it gives me a message that it was not properly disconnected and it disappears and in a minute or so it reconnects and disconnects again It keeps doing this.
I want to just restore it, though it does not display in iTunes long enough for me to do so. How can I restore it without being in iTunes?
Thanks.

You might try forcing the iPod into disk mode first, then connecting it to your computer and see if that makes it show up in iTunes...

I just loaded Mannheim Steemroller's Extraordinair christmas CD. But when I look at the album display nothing shows that it was loaded into iTunes. However all of the trtacjs are listed in the "Reciently Added" listing in iTunes. It includes the album name as well as the group.
How can I get it to display in my album listing
Thanks

Try restarting iTunes.
I'm finding strange glitches with iTunes 11 such as album art not appearing until a restart and media lists changing when you click back and forth without reason.

Itunes album artwork not displayed

I have just started using itunes and purchased my fist album which is a compilation. The album artwork is not displayed, I have searched the forum and checked that the get artwork is visible in the get info option, which it is and all the album details are correct.
Any advice?
Thanks in advance.

Not sure if I have the same problem or not. My album art work shows up fine on the i-pod and in the small "now playing" window on the lower left of my pc but the main view window shows that "Itunes is unabke to browse album covers on this computer". I was always able to view this for as long as I have had the i-pod in the past before but now cant. On my PC (I tunes)the "Cover flow view" is selected and no matter what preference is selected the same message comes up and can not see album art work anymore on main window above song list.

Album artwork not displaying for all albums in Coverflow view

Very interesting problem I'm having. All of my music has album artwork assigned to it and can clearly be seen in the preview pane at the bottom left of the iTunes window. However, not all the albums show up in the new Coverflow feature in iTunes 7. I've been trying to figure out what might be different about these images that would cause them to not show up. Also, the albums that don't show up in Coverflow view don't show up on my iPod nano either; all the other ones are fine though. Any ideas?

I'm experiencing the same. It is funny, I can definitely not see something the displayed (or not displayed) graphics have in common. Some were fetched from the iTS, some bought from iTS, some fetched from other locations ...
At first I thought that it might be because of my old but brave little iBook, but if you see the same on an G4, this is probably not the reason.
My library is on an external hard drive connected via FireWire, and it is quite big (almost 15,000 tracks).
Any help is appreciated

Group Folder not displaying on the desktop

Hi!
I have made a new and fresh installation of the OSX server 10.6 to a Mac Pro, due the extreme problems what our broken Raid Card caused us. I managed to install it okay, everything is working like before, except group folders.
I have proper AFP shares made for group folder and the mount shows fine. In the old stystem, I could go to group preferences on WGM, and on the Login / Items, select manage always just add the checkbox to "Add group share point", and the folder would display on the desktop for members of that group. Now it is not working. I actually booted from one backup of the last system and made sure that I have same settings than before.
What could be a problem here?

A work around.
On a client work station:
In finder, manually mount the share you would like to have show up. You may need to authenticate. This is fine. Do so with any users name on your system that has access to said share.
Open WGM. (still on the client work station) You'll likely need to install Server Tools temporarily.
Select the group or user you would like the MCX to apply to.
Click Preferences.
Click the items tab.
Click Always.
Click the plus button on the right side.
Select the mounted share.
Click Okay
Select the newly added line item. It'll probably look like this: afp://server.example.com_. With a kind: URL
Put a check box in the "Authenticate selected share point with Users login name and password."
Click save!
That should do it.

Info View Public Folder not displayed

I have installed BO XI r2 and have configured two users in the CMC within a development environment with 35 named licenses. When i start Info View and log in as a new user the Public Folder is not displayed only Inbox and the Personal folder. Anybody know why the Public folders are not displayed. Permissions?
I have not changed any settings for Admin or Everyone and setup the new user by adding them to an existing group with full control.

It's a permissions issue most likely, you need to give the Group this users belong to minimum View rights on the Root folders.
go to CMC>Folders>Rights

Xcelsius Present - Pie Chart Does Not Display

I am evaluating a trial copy of Xcelsius Present and I am having trouble with creating a Pie Chart. I have imported my spreadsheet and have made my data selection, but the pie chart does not display. I have used Crystal Reports in the past and have never run across the problem. I have tried to create and import a new spreadsheet with the data needed for the pie chart, but I have the same problem with the chart not loading. This problem does not occur with other charts that I am creating.
Can anyone make a recommendation on what to do?
Thanks.
Anita

I'm having the same problem with the Xcelsius Present 2008 evaluation copy (5.3.0.0).
No matter how pie chart data is formatted, there is nothing displaying.
I'd like to know whether this is a known bug or whether this is only in the eval copy. This would prevent me from buying the product.

Collection album artwork not appearing in iTunes U PSM via feed

Hi,
I uploaded a new collection to iTunes U via public site manager in the same way I always do but for some reason the Collection image is not showing on the landing page or the collection page. It all works fine on my feedburner feed http://feeds.feedburner.com/PhotographySymposium2011 but not at http://itunes.apple.com/WebObjects/MZStore.woa/wa/viewPodcast?id=446661118
I've tried deleting and restoring both the feedburner feed and the iTunes U collection page but to no avail. Any other suggestions would be most welcomed as the site now looks a little shabby.
Cheers,
Chess

I'm not 100% sure about this but I think read somewhere that iTunes U images should be 300x300. Your image is 320x320 so perhaps try resizing the image.

Artwork will not display in iTunes 5 ?

compared to many this is a minor complaint, but is there anyway to get iTunes 5 to recognize or display album artwork? I had 4.9 on two different ibooks and the artwork displayed as expected. On both notebooks immediately after the update to iTunes 5.0 the ability to display album artwork ceased. I've tried turning it on and off, etc to no avail. Even on newly ripped CD's the artwork does not display. The iTunes window will only read "album Artwork Not Moodifiable" any fix for this admittedly minor issue would be appreciated.
Thank you,

If you mean, do I know that I can select all the tracks of a particular album and attach artwork to them all at the same time, yes I do. That's what I have been doing. What my main point is, #1 why do I have to do that at all. Should not the "cd cover" of the ripped album automatically be included in the tag of the ripped music? That is how it worked in 4.9, but it does not seeem to be working on 5.0. For whatever reason, a cd ripped with 5.0 does not include the artwork in the tag information. At least it does not on two different Mac's that I'm using. I've sat here ripping several CD's tonite and none of them have aertwork automatically attached to the audio files info.
And finally why does the music that I had ripped with ver 4.9 that did include the artwork in the id tags, no longer include it after the upgrade?? to 5.0.. Is there a way to correct this without going through and dragging new artwork to every album?
It's no big deal if Apple just stated it was a problem with the update, then I'd just re do it, but I do want to make sure I'm not dealing with an unrelated problem before wasting all that time copying a hundred blaady album covers.

Pdfs and MP3s in iTunes Folder not showing up iTunes Library - Please Help

Hi, I am running iTunes 10.7 on a 15 inch MacBook Pro 2.4 Ghz Intel Core i7 with 4 GB of RAM using OS X 10.7.5.
My problem is that when I bring the latest set of pdf and MP3 files I added do not show up in my iTunes library. If I go through the finder they are in the iTunes folder, but they will not display or play.
Thank you
Nucleus

They will not play or display even outside of iTunes? Not with Quicktime Player (for the mp3s) or Preview (for the PDFs)? If that's the case the files are probably corrupt.
Adding items to iTunes and not having them appear in the library is a recurring problem with newer versions for some.
Try restarting iTunes.
Check your recently added playlist. If they are there, try temporarily editing an item in the name, then restart iTunes and see if it appears.
Start iTunes, immediately hold down the option key and create a new, test library. Add the files to it. Do they add? If yes, then they are readable by iTunes. Go back to your old library using hte option key thing again.

Korean characters not displaying on itunes

I transferred my korean music to my macbook from windows computer...In my folder or file, it shows in Korean perfectly fine with no gibberish language. However, when I open them in itunes, in itunes a couple of the songs do not display in the korean characters..instead it shows in gibberish and I don't know how to fix this. Do i have to individually change the songs that are like that ? Not every song is like this. Majority of my songs are fine showing in korean language properly in itunes, but only a select number don't...Please tell me how to fix this. I already tried the ID3 Tags and REverse Unicode. Any other options??

Everything depends on your NLS parameters. If I do this on Oracle 11g I get:
