Album artwork area is completely blank

So as the title says, the area where my artwork is supposed to go, at the top of iTunes is completely blank. I don't mean there's black boxes w/ question marks that I can scroll through, there is a black rectangle where the artwork is supposed to go. How the heck to I get iTunes to display the artwork up there?

Is you iTunes folder in the default location or did you move/install in a different location like external hard drive?

Why my tracks are not shown in Album view and Artist view, only Album Artworks are shown???

Dear,
I have not have this problem in the previous version of iTune. As soon as i upgraded it to iTunes 11, it happens.
The problem in here is all my songs, tracks are still here, i can see all of them in "songs view". However, when i change the view to Album View, and click into the Album artwork, there is no track there. When i double click into the Album Artwork, the first song of the album will be played normally.
Same story to the Artist View. Only the Album Artworks are shown and the rest is completely blank.
I have absolutely no idea what is going on here and obviously i am not satisfy with this new version.
Is there any way for me to fix this problem? Please help!
Otherwise i will need to use other software for music playing.
Regard,

Don't wanna album artworks keep floating on the main menu

Is there any way to disable album artworks keep floating on the main menu of iPod classic?
I think Apple should give us a choice to disable this function with next iPod firmware update.
Some album artworks I don't want to show up there. And the key point is, the resolution of all my album artworks are 200 x 200. It is really enough for my 5G iPod video. But for my new iPod classic, all artworks would be force to enlarge the size for floating on the main menu like screensaver, and they look really crap.
And I think those new default icons on iPod classic are really nice and that's what I prefer to show

Given the resolution you've got them at, the other occurances of them in the UI - like CoverFlow and album art when a track is playing - also probably look not great.
Turn of the option of synching them completely via the Music tab for the iPod in iTunes. Gets rid of the issue completely - and as you say leaves more useful icons in some places.

Missing Album Artworks in Album view in Music iOS

Apple updated Music App in iOS 6.
New interface Design but a new bug appear some album artworks are missing when we go in the Album list view.
But when you select an album, the artworks appear well and also appear in Cover Flow.
The album artworks are missing in Album list view only.
The problem seems to come from the option : Convert higher bite rate songs to xxx kbps AAC in iTunes
I just tried with the bit rate 192 kbps : some album artworks are missing in the Album view list
So if you want, you can test with the other bit rate and post if you have the some problem.
I uncheked the option Convert higher bite rate songs to xxx kbps AAC in iTunes, I resent my music to my iOS device.
Now all album artworks appear well in the Album list view.
In hoping this can help anyone.

Hey,
You should definitely submit this bug as feedback to the iTunes team.

ITunes 10 Album Artwork Not Showing Up In Screen Saver

After installing iTunes 10, my screen saver settings (which used to pull from my iTunes Album Artwork) are no longer working. The screen saver option now says "Your iTunes Library does not contain any songs with artwork" yet it does. The screen saver option is no longer finding it. Any thoughts would be helpful. Thank you.

I have exactly the same.
Screensaver settings says: "Your iTunes library does not contain any songs with artwork" which is simply lie! ;-)
almost all albums covers are there in my main library.
newest iTunes 10.5.3 (3) 64-bit
Lion with all add-ons
not long ago I have joined iTunes Match.. unfortunately haven't checked if it works before for long time..
I have: repaired permissions, removed com.apple.screensaver. iTunesArtwork* in ~Library/Preferences/ByHost/.
Still nothing.
I have found that ~/Music/iTunes/Album Artwork/ has 4 directories inside:
Cache
Cloud
Download
Local
.. first 3 had random named dir (the same) with what seems to be artworks directories. Local was empty still copying there this random dir didn't help too..
Any ideas please?

Album Artwork Incorrect. How to Correct?

I've been busy adding my entire music collection to iTunes/iPod and most of the time everything works brilliantly. However from time to time I get weird and wondeful Album Artwork that is completely irrelevant to the Album I've just imported, I've sussed removing the offending artwork, but want to know how I can find the correct artwork without going to all the hassle of scanning my CD covers and resizing etc, etc. Any ideas, links etc?

I've had the same problem on a few albums... I've tried changing the cover art several times. Even went into iTunes store and found the correct album cover but iTunes insists on the incorrect cover art. I cannot find a work around except for finding the correct cover art online and importing it manually. However, on importing and collecting over 7000 albums, iTunes has only missed the target 4 or 5 times in my count.

Blank album artwork can't be removed - weird

I added album artwork to an entire album by selecting all songs, opening the 'Get Info' window, and pasting the image into the Artwork field. This normally works, but on this occasion the album artwork was not showing up in cover flow. The cause seems to be a problem with the first song of the album and it's very weird. I can see the album art in the Get Info window for all the other songs, and delete it. But the first song doesn't show the artwork. There's obviously something there but no way to see it or delete it.
Here's what shows up in different views within iTunes:
Get Info > Summary:
Blank grey area where album art or 'No Artwork Available' icon should be. Sometimes it has a square black border where the artwork should be, sometimes not — the appearance of the border is completely random.
Get Info > Artwork:
Completely blank. However, the size slider IS selectable and can be moved, but nothing becomes visible. There IS something there, because you can click where the artwork should be and the 'Delete' button becomes clickable. Clicking it greys everything out as though it has deleted it, but when you click OK the problem remains.
Grid View:
Album appears as a horizontal black line (as though the cover is only a few pixels tall). It's selectable and I tried the 'Clear Downloaded Artwork' command, but it does nothing. (It's artwork I copied and pasted, but I thought it was worth a try.)
Cover Flow:
Where the album art should be is completely blank. It's just empty black space — no music note symbol.
There seems to be no way to fix the problem. I can add another cover image to the song, but it doesn't stick — when I close and reopen the Get Info window, it's gone and the weird blank image is still there.
I'm running iTunes 9.0 in Snow Leopard 10.6.1.

To be more specific, click the book you want to change, then click File -> Get Info. The select the Artwork tab. From there you can remove the current image, and add the one you want (from google images, or any other source).
Hope this helps!

Trouble addign Podcast, now most of my album and video artwork are black!

So I added a few free podcast, worked fine, from my ipod. Than i tried adding some more the next day. It downloaded, but wouldn't appear in the ipod. So i plugged it in, and iTunes saw all my podcasts on my ipod, but the ipod just wont' display them. So I deleted all the ones on my ipod, and added all of them from my itunes back to my ipod. Now here's where the trouble began. After that, the original podcasts icons were replaced by screenshots from the video. All of my videos are now black screens as the icons, and half of my album pictures are also black as well. Any resolution? I tried finding the uncheck box to not display artwork, but I can't find it in iTunes 8. HELP PLS!

To rectify the art on your touch do this:
Try clicking "sync music" in iTunes to "off"
then sync >>> all your music should disappear from the touch.
Then click "sync music" to "on" and re-sync.
it worked for me

Picasa synced Web Album Pictures are blank in Gallery

Don't know when this happened but the pictures in gallery that are synced from Picasa web are now blank. The thumbnail squares are blank, the Picasa icon is on the stack, the album names are there but the pictures are blank. The images are fine on the web. Turning sync off then on does not fix it. I know they were there in the past and I can't be sure if 3.2 caused this. I think the only way to correct this is to remove the albums from the web, sync will remove from gallery, then upload again to the web. Any other ideas. p.s. Does anyone else feel like a they are testing a Beta product with these **bleep** Android tablets?
Solved!

Same problem here. See http://www.thriveforums.org/forum/toshiba-thrive-general-discussions/4335-picasa-gallery-wont-show-p... that worked for me.

Album artwork isn't showing up in album view (where all the albums are) but IS showing up when you drill into the specific album.

The album artwork isn't showing up in the album view where all the different albums are shown but when you drill into the specific album then it is shown. This seems to be a recent problem as it wasn't happening in the past.

Nope, that doesn't work. First, I manually manage the music, but even deleting and using auto-fill, doesn't put all the album art in place even though it is all on the songs in iTunes. Even copying and pasting from iTunes to the iPhone does not get the artwork to show up, despite the fact it shows up in "Info" on the iPhone in iTunes. Plus there seems no rhymn nor reason as to the missing artwork, some ripped songs have it, some purchased songs do not. Bizarre! But I've run across this problem every since time I've restored an iPhone and had to redo the music separately, however, previously I could manually drop and drag the song over after the auto-fill to replace (after deleting on the iPhone) and the artwork would show up. Not this time however. This is one of those details I find extremely annoying!

If I add artwork by dragging a jpg to the artwork area after selecting several rows, in some instances a single icon is created in the flipper; in others one is created for each song. Why? How can I get one image per album every time?

Having trouble getting album artwork for CDs that ARE in Music Store

I've got about 300 of my own CDs (not purchased through ITMS) on my computer and iTunes 7 only downloaded about 20 covers automatically. I have gone through and made sure all of my albums and artists are spelled correctly as well as putting all of the years of the releases.
I can not get any of the album artwork to download.
Also, the iTunes mini store doesn't open. When I click show mini-store, only a bold line on the bottom of the screen comes up, but the mini store does not open all the way.

When iTunes 7 was first released the iTunes store got swamped by people updating their artwork (like yourself), this meant it would often only manage to do a few albums at a time. In this situation telling it to try again (and again) was the solution.
However by now the number of users hitting the store should be lower and this less of a problem.
Another problem that affects me and others, is that the "Get Album Artwork" command only seems to search the US iTunes store (even if your account is logged in to a different country), this means that at best you might get the wrong artwork, and sometimes no artwork at all. Of course you are apparently in Florida and therefore would want to use the US store and so not be affected by this problem.
I see you have the misfortune to be using Windows XP, and even worse a Dull Inspiron! You might want to check to see if your firewall [you are using a firewall aren't you?] is interfering with iTunes contacting the iTunes store.
Rather than using the "Get Album Artwork" command in the "Advanced" menu, try instead selecting a single album, and right clicking and then selecting "Get Album Artwork" from the pop-up menu.
It might help if you give an example of a problematic album/artist/track name. Also can you confirm the format the track is in? WAV does not support embedded artwork for example.

I have completed a software update as prompted. However, all "Pages" and "Numbers" files are completely blank. Please advise

Hi... Sorry for delay. I've been away working.
I have just completed another software update as prompted again, and I'm still having problems.
Nearly all my software won't open. It doesn't matter if it's relatively old software I brought over from my last Mac or new software I've purchased from the App store within the last year or two. It always says whatever software I'm trying to open has "quit unexpectedly"
My Mail, App store, Stickies and Safari seem to work, but most other things won't.
I've run a verify disk permissions and a repair disk permissions, but this message appears... Maybe it is a clue to the problem if you understand these things:
Warning: SUID file “System/Library/CoreServices/RemoteManagement/ARDAgent.app/Contents/MacOS/ARDAg ent” has been modified and will not be repaired.
Please advise...
Best wishes
