Album Art Sharing - Wish List

I'm moving from a Windows based media manger (Media Player by J. River) to an iMac. iTunes is the next to the last application that I need to get working so that I can retire the PC. Based on my testing so far and what I've read on these boards it's not possible to see album artwork on Macs on my home network via the shared library. So... Does Apple have a "wish list" were we can make feature requests? It just seems silly that we can't do this. If I'm wrong and there is a supported way to do it, please let me know. Thanks all.

If you do, indeed, have Home Sharing properly enable (look for the little House symbol next to the shared library) then try this:
View > as Coverflow. Cover view pops up with the arrow button at the bottom left of the screen.
I read this on another forum but cannot test it as I do not currently have both of my computers booted up. I do seem to recall seeing the artwork though when I used it before.

How can I play all the songs on an album in my wish list?

In a previous version of iOS, I could click on an album in my wish list, then click to preview all the songs in the album consecutively. I seem to have lost this option now. I am using iOS8.

Hi there - don't know what is happening on your Touch as it does play albums in order - when you click on an album to play it, the very first option is shuffle - make sure you do not click on this - but click on the first track name.
If you have clicked on it once - it seems to stay on - to solve/check this - click on a song, and wait for the cover to come into view. On the top bar, on the right hand side while the song is playing - you will see the little shuffle icon (arrows crossing). If this is blue then shuffle is selected. Click on it to turn it off (white). Now go back to the album lists and all should be in order?
Let us know if this works.

How do i get itunes 11 to display my album art while in list mode like it did in the previous version?

How do i get itunes 11 to display my album art while in list mode like it did in the previous version?

I think the Sidebar preview image is gone. But found that when I'm playing music either from the entire library or a playlist you can click the tiny thumbnail at the top to open a Artwork based player that is scalable. Reduce (minimize) the main Itunes window and the player is actually Nice. Hope that helps.

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.

How can i get iTunes to get rid of all the album art so my list of artists is nice and tight

just trying to get rid of all of the artwork on itunes so that I can have nice lists

If you removed all the art iTunes would still display an image against each artist and not squash them up any closer...
Surely having the correct art for every album is more attractive.

Complete My Album via Wish List

I would like to know is if "Complete My Album" and the "Wish List" will work together. There is an album I wish to complete, while also purchasing the items in my wish list. When I add the album "to be completed" to my wish list, however, it shows up at full price.
Is there a way to purchase everything at once (at the proper prices) or do I have to make separate purchases?
T.I.A.

Thank you, for the info. Hopefully, Apple will be able to upgrade the process so that everything can be purchased at one time. I do like having both options.

What happened to my iTunes wish list in 12.0.1.26????

I used to have many songs and albums in my wish list. Just upgraded to iTunes 12.0.1.26 tonight on my iMac. I guess this is a Yosemite precursor but I am still on Mavericks.
Now there appears only about 32 songs and I am not sure how many albums but just a few. The rest of my wish list (and that is an awful lot) seems to be missing. I can't seem to figure how to show only songs or only albums in the new wish list as in the old iTunes. What the heck is going on? Did Apple just jettison my wish list with this upgrade? Not good.
I am sure (or at least hoping) that I am not familiar with how to navigate this new version of iTunes. I can get to the wish list, it just is missing the vast majority of what I had before the upgrade. That would truly suck if that list is now gone.

Yosemite 10.10.1 beta <-- That for Apple devices, right? I'm not using Apple products, just a normal laptop. Apple products have way too many limitations, and too few degrees of free choice, for my taste, plus they behave like the police or Big Brother in many ways, adding restrictions to what I can and cannot do with the stuff I buy. I only use iTunes because there isn't any great alternative, really, when it comes to the amount of tracks I can choose from.
Love places like Beatport, Bandcamp or 7digital though, super sad that they offer such a small selection...

Cannot add apps to iTunes Wish List for my ipod

When using iTunes on my Macbook, I cannot add apps (for ipod, ipad, etc. NOT for computer) to my Wish List. When I try, a pop up error alert box says that "Your request is temporarily unable to be processed., to try again later." The odd thing is that I can add music albums to my Wish List. I am not trying to add previously bought apps, but new ones that I find that I might want later. I used to be able to do this, but not as of recently. I even updated my Itunes to see if that would help. No effect. Is it my wifi network,? Any ideas of how to remedy this?

thanks. I opened iTunes this morning and miraculously my wish list seems to be working. i see one app i had added to be downloaded. I am able to remove songs from wish list and add songs and preview all.
last i heard from the customer service person was that they referred the issue to a senior level support person. this after i sent them several screen shots of my wish list and the error about unable to add to existing wish list because ittem was already there.
I have not heard from them that my issue is resolved. I will give them a day or so to get back to me to confirm they fixed the problelm.
very strange. at least they acknowledged the problem did indeed exist as they referred me to the online user forum for possible solutions. I indicated the problem persisted as early as June 2010 and as late as Jan 2012. and I had upgraded to ver 10.5.3 as well as remove and re-install even AFTER they kept telling me they removed my wishlist.

Why is my wish list not updating when I add songs through iTunes Radio?

Wish list is not updating.

Count me in the same boat. I'm an iTunes Match customer. While listening to iTunes Radio I push the star and then choose to add to wish list except it never adds. Doing the same function on my Mac works fine.
I found a note from Apple that stated you can only add "albums" to your wish list on iOS 7, not songs. That then begs the question....why add functionality that is purposefully intended to add songs in your own UI????

What happened to my wish list since the last update?

I'm only seeing a handful of albums in my wish list after installing the latest update.

I have the same problem and I am very disappointed. I had like 200+ songs in my wishlist...now it´s only 32. I hope Apple would fix it soon.

Shared Album Art - iTunes 7

I have disabled iTunes from getting album art due to the issues it was having with Greatest Hits and replacing art that had already been collected (due to no album art before, now it wants to take over).
My question is with shared music. We have a PC in another location and share iTunes via the share preference. Prior to the upgrade, we were able to see the ablum art from the main PC or file location that was associated with the music file (i.e. the art I collected for each album). Now it shows Artwork not modifiable" on the shared music. Not a biggy as we can still listen to music, but an annoyance none the less.
All this time wishing for auto art and now I wish I did not select iTunes to get "missiing" when upgraded. More fool me...

How to properly embed album art work into TV/Films itunes: home sharing lag

My setup is a simple apple home sharing network.
I have a mac mini running OS X 10.6.8 and itunes 11.0.4(4) it hosts a lot of music, DVD's that have been re-encoded and paid for content from itunes.
The mac mini is conntected to the network over a very good gigbit lan and has 4 apple TV3 (latest gen) hanging off the network, and multiple PC/Mac/ipod/ipad devices hanging off the network.
I connect to the itunes home sharing service with the apple TV service using the "remote" application on the ipad.
When I select Music/Albums TV Shows or Films from the menu of the itunes library the album art work loads (quickly) over the grey boxes as I scroll down. However this takes a few seconds for each "scroll" I do on the ipad (it has thousands of items in there).
The exception to the rule is any paid content, when I open Music/TV/Films menu on the ipad the paid content (especially for TV and Films) the artwork is already there, and doesn't have to load it.
How is the artwork for paid content contained differently than the artwork for content I've manually put into the itunes library.
If I look at the itunes library locally on the machine hosting the itunes data, the artwork is there straightaway, no loading, pull up the items info with "get info" and click on art work, the artwork is there, and I can see no different in the art work settings for paid content or for content I've manually updated/loaded an image for.
So why/how does the paid for content have artwork on the ipad the exact second I open it over the network, yet the non-paid for content take a few seconds per screen to load it.
Is there something different in how the art work is embeeded, or is it a caching setting ? whats the difference.

Dang You Autocorrect.
You don't saw what size and resolution the embedded artwork is. This could be part of the issue. Artwork on movies you purchase from the iTunes Store is 667x1000 at 72 DPI so if yours is larger than this is could be causing the delay.

Last summer I bought a music album from iTunes. I've already transferred all my orders from my units, but somehow iTunes wants me to pay for the same album again. When I try to add it to my wish list it simply tells me that I've already bought that item.

And I've already tried to search for downloadable purchases.
So fact is established, I've purchased this album before but iTunes does not recognize it.
What to do?

Hey sorry for the late response but I've been out of town. I can copy and paste the email responses if necessary or desired, and if it's fixed already this is a moot point anyway, but basically they kept asking me for the order numbers for the two songs I already bought from the specific album I was trying to complete, which I eventually gave them - along with telling them multiple times that the Complete My Album feature wasn't working for ANY album. They gave me two free song codes to compensate me for the two songs I bought, and then told me to go and buy the album at full price, but the ENTIRE TIME they COMPLETELY ignored that I was telling them that this wasn't an issue with one album but was a larger, seemingly systematic issue that other people were experiencing. Even after I got the song codes I emailed them back and said AGAIN that this wasn't an isolated feature, and they just sent me the link to the apple Feedback page (http://www.apple.com/feedback/itunesapp.html) and told me to submit my complaint there. So, technically, my issue was never really "resolved," in that they never fixed the Complete My Album feature that I am aware of - or even acknowledged that anything needed fixing, but I haven't tested it since Sunday.
If it's working for you, then hopefully they fixed it! I've noticed they've updated to 10.4.1, but the notes don't indicate they're fixing anything about the Complete My Album feature, so I don't know.

Why is album art no longer viewable when viewing a playlist as a list?

I used to view my playlists as a list sorted by album by artist by year and the album art really broke things up and kept it manageable (put the album art on the leftmost column). Not even an option? Seriously feels like a downgrade. Impossible to find or sort my music. Program in general and search in particular are SUPER slow (and I'm running this on a Core i5 with 12GB of RAM.
Only real question I have besides this is how do I downgrade to the previous version? This is unusable.
