Album Art - Shows up on iPhone 4 but not Mac

I study language vocabulary using a large collection of m4a files. Each file contains the audio of a word in one langugae with corresponding album art and its meaning in another language with corresponding album art. Thus, there are two images associated with/embeded in each m4a.
On my Mac, I can see the album art work if I click "Get Info" and then look under the "Summary" tab. However, when the I play each file, I can see only the default music note image. But, on my iPhone 4, all images display correctly.
These files used to work correctly. What happened?

  • I purchased an album which shows on my iphone but not my macbook itunes

    I bought the new U2 album "Songs of Innocence" and it shows as a purchase, but doesn't show in my playlist or list of purchased songs on my Macbook. It does show on my iphone though. I've tried downloading to iCloud, but still can't see the songs that I bought.

    Not sure what you mean by 'tried downloading to iCloud'.
    The album should show in the Purchased link under Quick Links on the right-hand side of the iTunes store homepage on your Mac's iTunes for redownloading. Or you can connect your to your Mac's iTunes and do File > Devices > Transfer Purchases to copy it over to the Music part of your library.

  • My findings -- Album art shown in iTunes 7 but not in iPod

    Well, after several round of testings, here's my conclusion:
    For song in iTunes library, i can change the album art and upload the song to iPod. The album art shows in iPod and stays...however if i decided to change the album art later for the same song by directly dragging the album art to song info box in iPod, the updated album art displays in iTunes BUT not in iPod, in fact NO ALBUM ART is displayed at all...even though how many times i check/uncheck the DISPLAY ALBUM ART box.
    The only way to change the album art again is to drag the new album art to the song in my iTunes library and later drag that song again to iPod.
    As a summary, it DOES NOT allow me to add or change any album art directy to songs stored in iPod. The only workaround is have the exact copies of songs stored in iTunes library and do auto sync.
    For me this is totally not flexible as in order to save hard drive space, i believe most of us will store songs in Ipod and remove them from iTunes library (correct me if i am wrong). And all we can do is wait til the next release of firmware from Apple.........
    Hello Apple, r u listening out there!?!?!
    BTW, i am using iTunes 7 and iPod 5G 60GB 1.2 firmware.

    phewww. Been going crazy, thinking i waas the only one with this problem. It was never a problem with 6.5.
    and yes, we all dont save tracks in the media library. i have never even used it
    So fix ASAP.

  • Album art shows only for Now Playing, not Selected

    Don't know if this is an iTunes problem or an iPod connection issue. I just reformatted my computer and installed the latest iTunes version. Since there's no music on my harddrive yet, I'm playing my iPod Classic from the computer. The album art is behaving oddly - it only shows in the lower corner display for the Now Playing track. If I click on another track, the Selected art box says Drag Artwork Here, and yet when I go to the file info, the art is there. This happens even for a song I played earlier - if it's not the currently playing song, even if it's on the same album, the art doesn't display. It's the same whether it's an album bought from the iTunes store, from another vendor, or ripped from a CD. Obviously the art is still there, but why isn't it displaying like it did before the reinstall?
    (As a side note, if I play the iPod separately from the computer, the art displays just fine.)

    nvm, I called apple and fixed it! Thanx!!!!

  • Podcast PDF's showing up on iPhone but not desktop iTunes

    Our church publishes a podcast from Sermon Studio (studio.sermon.net). We include mp3 audio and a PDF with message notes. These PDFs show up in the Podcasts iPhone app but not in iTunes under subscribed podcasts. Any idea why?

    Oh, I forgot to mention that music seems to automatically download just fine whenever I buy a song off of my iPhone.  Another thing is, the movies were all bought off of my iPhone.

  • Album Artwork shows up in iTunes but not iPod

    I add album artwork through iTunes onto my iPod...the album artwork shows up at the side of iTunes but when i disconnect my iPod and check it there i doesn't show up :/
    and everything to do with album artwork is checked
    Can someone help me please

    hi! it worked for me when i first tried it. but now
    it doesnt...itz giving me an error (-50) i dont kno
    wat to do
    Windows XP  
    That happened to me too. The only way I could "fix" it was to restore my ipod, I've only just got mine a couple of days and I only had to re-load 3.5gb of mp3s but it was all I could think of.
    I have noticed that when you right click on a song in itunes and select the "get info" box to paste lyrics and artwork, when you click the next or previous buttons and then go back to the original location the lyrics or artwork entered is sometimes missing, it's like it just doesn't write the information to the file, you have to paste, hit next and previous a few times to swap between tracks to make sure the information is retained.

  • Ipod shows up on PC but not Mac?

    Hi there, I've got a strange problem with my year-old Ipod video 30GB.
    I accidentally unplugged it from my computer before ejecting it last week. Everything was erased, and since then it won't show up on my Mac at home or at work. It doesn't pop up on the desktop or in ITunes.
    I've tried everything: reset, different firewire, usb -- even connected it to a PC to try and restore it. (A lot of help the restore instructions are if the IPod doesn't show up on your computer!) Strangely enough, the IPod showed up on the PC harddrive and itunes and I restored it there. But it's still not recognized on my Mac when I plug it in.
    What's extra weird is that when plugged in, teh IPod's "Do not disconnect" sign pops up. So the Ipod knows it's plugged in, but the Mac computer doesn't.
    Does anyone have any ideas / has had the same problem? If not, what does one do after their warranty expires to get help? Because all the contact numbers seem to be for people with warranties.
    Thanks so much!!!!!

    Still can’t see your iPod, put it in Disk Mode and connect with a computer, instead of doing a Restore on iPod Updater. Go and format the iPod instead.
    For Mac computer
    1. Open the disk utility, hope your iPod appears there (left hand side), highlight it
    2. Go to Tab “Partition”, click either “Delete” or “Partition”, if fails, skip this step and go to 3
    3. Go to Tab “Erase” , choose Volume Format as “MAC OS Extended (Journaled), and click Erase, again if fails, skip it and go to 4
    4. Same as step 3, but open the “Security Options....” and choose “Zero Out Data” before click Erase. It will take 1 to 2 hours to complete.
    5. Eject your iPod and do a Reset
    6. Open the iPod Updater and click “Restore”

  • Album artwork shows up in itunes but not on the ipod...

    i just realized when i put some new songs on my ipod that not the album artwork werent showing up, so i followed some directions i found in some other discussion threads, like unchecking the display artwork button and checking it again. But instead of fixing the problem, all my artwork no longer appears on the ipod. In itunes, they are visible. When i play my songs in itunes, the artwork is displayed in the lower left corner but when i disconnect my ipod, the artwork don't show up... can anyone help me?

    I've had this problem and you have to hook up the images to the songs before you sync it to your ipod. Think its some Itunes 7 issue

  • TS4147 My contacts show on my iphone but not in my outlook.

    Last week i noticed that I had mistakenly activated my icloud and realized no contact information was physically on my iphone. Looking at the information on the icloud showed that all my information resided there in full. I wanted to have my icloud shut off and to backup on my computer. The contacts were manually pushed to my phone while the problem was investigated. I was called back the next day and walked through the steps necessary to allow my computer to be the source of backing up my data. I noticed, several days later, that I had duplicates of all my contacts. I manually deleted each duplicate entry on my I phone. In addition, I updated information on 8 entries. Now, only the eight entries that I updated show in my Outlook. However all contacts are correct on my iphone.
    I have tried to turn on the icloud to allow my contacts to be synced. I even went into my icloud account to update the contact information was correct. My itunes states my contacts are synced via the icloud but the information is not populating the Outlook. I want to make sure this information shows so I can finally shut down my contacts via icloud and use just my computer.

    I'd wait.  iCloud (or parts of it) seems to be down today (check the other icloud forums for more posts on email problems).  Perhaps your problem is due to the down servers.  The day may come back - check for posts that claim iCloud is back up.

  • Itunes shows and charges iphone but not ipad2

    Third day of working on this... First my ipad would not open apps.  After installing and reinstalling itunes repeatedly I am still at a place where i plug in my iphone and it shows, charges, and syncs.   But i plup in the ipad to the same usb and nothing...

    The quickest way (and really the only way) to charge your iPad is with the included 10W or 12W (5W on Mini) USB Power Adapter. iPad will also charge, although more slowly, when attached to a computer with a high-power USB port (many recent Mac computers) or with an iPhone Power Adapter (5W). When attached to a computer via a standard USB port (2.5W, most PCs or older Mac computers) iPad will charge very slowly (but iPad indicates not charging). Make sure your computer is on while charging iPad via USB. If iPad is connected to a computer that’s turned off or is in sleep or standby mode, the iPad battery will continue to drain.
    Apple recommends that once a month you let the iPad fully discharge & then recharge to 100%.
    How to Calibrate Your Mac, iPhone, or iPad Battery

    At this link http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/galaxy-tab-android-tablet,3014-11.html , tests show that the iPad 2 battery (25 watt-hours) will charge to 90% in 3 hours 1 minute. It will charge to 100% in 4 hours 2 minutes. The new iPad has a larger capacity battery (42 watt-hours), so using the 10W charger will obviously take longer. If you are using your iPad while charging, it will take even longer. It's best to turn your new iPad OFF and charge over night.

  • Email shows up on iPhone but not in Outlook on the PC

    I finally got the icloud "me.com" account activated on my Outlook.  However, now I only get mail on my iPhone, not in my Outlook account on the PC. Inbox is empty.    Any idea what is going on?
    Thanks.

  • Text Showing Up in Windows But Not Mac

    I have this PDF of a building sketch. It isn't hand drawn and shows the perimiter of the building to show the square footage. When I view this PDF in Windows, each side has a number next to it (the length of that side). In Preview, these numbers are gone! Please help! I don't want to have to boot to Windows just to view and print PDF's! And I would really prefer not to download Adobe Reader (I don't want multiple applications that perform the same function. Thanks.

    I suspect that the numbers may be notes added in such a way that Preview does not recognize it. I would use Adobe Reader to see if it can display them. Adobe Reader does things that Preview does not, and vice versa. Personally, I think it is worthwhile to have it just to display pdf files in Safari.
