Album art work disappearing

I've been trying to clean up my itunes library and for some of the albums the artwork I've added won't stick. It shows up fine when I'm in the grid view for that album but when I'm on the grid view for all my music it disappears (although it shows up again when I hover over it). Does anyone know why this is and how I can fix it? I've made sure the artwork is definitely on every track of the album and most of my other albums are fine...

i think this may be a screen resolution issue, what if you change screen resolutions, buy lingeriedoes this change things. OR do you have any itunes that worked also before, it will be nice to see more, maybe steroidssome picture or similar, to understand more properly what to say

Album art work

iPad music album art work disappeared after sync iTunes on my PC
Recently I synced my iPad with iTunes on my PC and after that when I open the Music player on my iPad, the art work of the albums have disappeared. It just shown as blank album. The songs are intact, just the art work is not visible.
Please let me know if you have experienced similar issue and was able to resolve.

Hi,
I could solve this problem myself. Basically I had transferd (downloded) all my purchases to my PC. This also downloaded all the album art work as well. Next I went into Music Player on my iPad and deleted albums one by one (by pressing and holding each album you get a "x" icon). Once all albums were deleted from my music player, I re-synced my iPad with iTunes on my PC. All the songs and album art work came back.

Disappearing Album Art Work.

On my Ipod before today (10th December 2008) my album art work was all fine. Every song that I wanted art of was there, Album art relied on an Album name and Album Artist. But now on my Ipod when I go through albums some album art work doesn't show (It shows black) even thoguh it shows on Itunes. When I look up Itunes Store for albums some albums do not exist anymore that existed beforehand. Why is this so and has the system changed since then?

thank you

Use the trackpad to scroll, thats what it was designed for. The scroll bars automatically disappear when not being used and will appear if you scroll up or down using the trackpad.
This is a user-to-user forum and most people will post on here if they have problems. You very rarely get people posting to say there update went smooth. The fact is the vast majority of Mountain Lion users will not be experiencing any major problems with the OS, or maybe with apps which are not compatible, but thats hardly Apple's fault if developers don't update their apps.

How do I sync so that album art work in one library is copied over to another via home-sharing? Most of the artwork has been scanned and added by me.

I have three computers, each with its own iTunes Library, but if I add material to one, every few days I make sure that it's copied over to the others via homesharing. However, some of the metadata does not transfer, specifically the album art work. So on one library, call it my Home Library, everything is nice and tidy, with album artwork where it should be. On the other two, all the albums I've painstakingly made sure are complete on the home library are missing the art work.
Any thoughts? Tune Ranger and other iTunes maintenance apps don't seem to do the job, either. Coverscout, PowerTunes and Song Sargent also fail this task.

My understanding it iTunes handles artwork several ways. First, iTunes keeps a copy of all artwork in its artwork folder. Second, artwork can optionally be embedded in a media file. You can, for example, have an album where no artwork is actually in the files but all use a reference copy in the artwork folder. Even if a file has artwork embedded it may still use the version in the artwork folder.
Embedded artwork travels with the file when you copy the file.
I am hazy as to when exactly iTunes will embed artwork and when it won't. I believe, for example, if you use iTunes to fetch artwork it will not embed it, it will just place a copy in the artwork folder. Then too I never use iTunes to fetch artwork and I usually end up with artwork embedded in a file or two per LP (each embedded copy uses up more disk space). Now, I still use iTunes 7.5 and new versions may not behave exactly the same. If it was my version and I added artwork to a file it would embed it and it would transfer. It sounds like your artwork isn't embedded even if you are adding it the same way I would (I drag mine to the little arwork display box in the bottom left corner of my window, which apparently has vanished completely in iTunes 11).
You could try this for a file:
Script for embedding artwork - http://dougscripts.com/itunes/scripts/ss.php?sp=embedart
Just remember embedding artwork adds to each file size, so if you have 1000 files and you add 2 MB of high quality scans to each track you are taking up 2 GB more of drive space.

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.

I can no longer add album art work in iTunes version 10.6.0.40

WHY can I no longer add album art work in iTunes version 10.6.0.40? It is maddening. I have checked many boards and discussion groups but no one has a sure fix. Why is Apple not tending to this problem? They of all groups should know the importance of how something looks.

I had the the same problem albeit with an m4v (same hardware and OS rev too!, iTunes 10.6.3). I was able to add the movie to a new library per Limnos' suggestion here, indicating that iTunes wasn't totally busted. However, I was also able to see the movie in the Recently Added smart playlist (another hat tip to Limnos), although it still did not appear in the Movies section of my iTunes library. (It was also in the iTunes Library.xml file.)
So I called AppleCare, and they directed me to move the file from the external drive where it was living, into the /Users/<Your Name Here>/Movies directory, and to "Add to Library" (Command-O) from that location. Sure enough (and much to my surprise), it showed up immediately (duplicated, actually) in the Movies section of my iTunes library. Subsequent additions to my Library have not misbehaved similiarly.

ITunes 11.1.5 Album Art Work Does Not Display in Vehicle

Since iTunes 11.1.5, none of my album art work displays in my vehicle (Honda Civic 2013). I'm fairly certain the fault is with iTunes, since I tried a new iPod Classic AND an iPhone 4 in my vehicle, with the same results.
Is anyone else having this problem? Has anyone found a fix? Or do I need to wait for an iTunes update?
Last question: Apple Support seems like a ridiculously LONG, convoluted process. Is there a "bug" link where I can easily report?
Regards,
Nancy

I somehow doubt Apple would even see technical support for playing their devices in third party players as their purview and you first step would be to go to Honda for this kind of issue.
You can't delete a post but if you mark it as "solved" people will tend to skip it in the listing unless they are looking for an answer to a similar question.

How do i turn off the feature that browses album art work in landscape view?

How do I turn off the feature that browses album art work in landscape view? My videos will not play full screen since I updated my phone to iOS 7.1.

I don't believe that feature can be turned off.
I'm not experiencing any problem with full-screen video play on IOS 7.1 on an iPhone 5.

Up loading album art work from the net problem

Just recently, I keep getting " unknown error - 609 " every time I go for up loading album art work from the net. This applies to all the albums not just the really obscure ones ! and its just the art work because I can still get all the track listings.

Actually I experienced the same thing but it's not an issue of missing artwork in the wi fi store. The reason I say this is that when initially purchased the artwork showed fine on the device.
After syncing it also shows fine in ITunes. When checking the device again though, it seems to display random art from the library for that track. In cover flow, if not the center image, i displays what i can best describe as a color static image in the place of the album art.

How to correct album art work on iPhone 4

On my iPhone 4 music app. I have the wrong album art work on the wrong songs

OK Gang... Since I didn't get a resolution here I decided to forego the 30 minute hold time and called Apple support. (I was just tired of seeing Prince's face on my James Taylor album!).
Here is how to resolve this issue:
In iTunes, select your phone and choose the 'Music' tab
Unselect 'Sync music' then click 'Apply' (basically sync again)
All your music should be removed from your iPhone at this point
Now select the 'Sync music' option again and sync again
Good luck

I Can't See My Music List because of the dammed album art work.

It wasn't like this before the 7 update. When I play music on my iPhone 4, I see the list initially, then all of a sudden the album art work hi jacks the entire screen. I can fin no way to get back to music list. Why does Apple keep going backwards on this stuff. Quit re-inventing things when they work fine. I went in settings and checked "Show only music downloaded to this device" but it didn't change anything.
Can someone help me with ths rediculous problem?
