Album artwork does not download, album artwork does not download

i have windows 7 album artwork does not download even new stuff what could be happening?

It's possible your album artwork isn't there and cannot be obtained as this album no longer appears to be offered for purchase by itunes. Unless I'm overlooking it, when I go to the itunes store and enter "Santana", "Carlos Santana", or "Food For Thought", nothing comes up. I'm thinking if this is an album no longer for sale through itunes, then you won't be able to get that album artwork the way previously have. Unfortunately, I'm not saavy enough to know if it's possible to get the album artwork via another means. But maybe someone else reading this post is.

Why does my external Hard Drive not save album artwork? Help!

I have quite a lot of music saved digitally, so to save space I have been storing it on an external hard drive. Some of the music does not have any artwork attached (and does not download any when I select 'get album artwork').
So, as an example, starting with the music on iTunes, I have manually added some artwork via the 'Get info' option.
I then saved the music to my external hard drive.
However, when I next transfer the same album back onto iTunes, none of the artwork has been saved.
Why is this? And how can it be corrected?
Thank you!

Hi,
thanks for the reply, limnos, But let me explain: I have about 80gb-100gb of music.
I can't keep all of this on my computer (on iTunes) as it simply takes up too much space for the rest of my computer to run at a decent speed.
I therefore use my hard drive as a kind of library, where i store my music and occasionally transfer some music onto iTunes to listen to, and then transfer it back whe I'm done. Do you see?
I have done a bit more exploring and I think maybe I only have a problem with artwork 'disappearing' when it is albums that I have requested 'get album artwork'. i.e. the artwork downloads onto an album; then i copy the album onto my hard drive for storage; then when i want to play the album again and copy it back onto itunes, the artwork has been lost.
Do you know why?

ITunes does not show album artwork for FLAC files

I add FLAC music files to iTunes via Fluke which works perfectly.
Then I add the album artworks to the albums as usual (select all songs/right click/get info/info/then drag and drop a previously downloaded .jpg file). The artwork is visible in the Artwork column, in the Cover Flow but not in the right click/get info/info/artwork.
Which would not be a problem itself, but I use a Logitech Squeezebox Duet and on the controller there is no artwork for albums with FLAC files.
It is only with FLACs, MP3s work fine.
Any idea, what is it all about?
Thanks!

I knew that.
That was really my question how to solve it if there is a workaround.

Album artwork and song names do not download. How do I get this to download. Submitting is not working

album artwork and song names do not download. How do I get this to download. Submitting is not working

Hello!
I own a small company and we are having the same problems.
IE9 is not working with the latest flash update infact the update has messed up flash complety for all sites once installed. I went to YouTube eariler and it warned that I needed to install to the new Flash Player upon instaling and returning to YouTube it had the same message. This led us to download both the x86 and x64 versions and useing the uninstaller went through each one and tried the updates. None of the downloadable updates from Adobes site works. I have also loaded up Windows XP in a virtual machine and trying IE 8 with the latest updates and it as well does not work and does the same thing upon updateing it just keeps saying to install the latest update allthough it has allready been done!
Now on the other hand I loaded FireFox and it had the same update and upon restarting the browser after applying the update and it works just fine!
Im on a Windows 7 x64 Ultimate box and ran the WindowsXP in the VM. FireFox was loaded on the main OS and worked fine after said update.
Of Course I have allready double checked the running addons in IE 9 and the files within the /system32/ and all the flash files go there (x86 and x64 were differnt named files)
Im guessing there is something conflicting betwen IE (IE 8 and 9 tested)
Now this is not just happining on this machine but all of our desktops and laptops no one has any trouble with FireFox working
Also this will break all flash objects in IE even localy as now no flash works it acts like it is not installed.
Guess will see how long this takes to get fixed or aknowledged... lol

After downloading album covers (some not found) itunes does not show most of the covers.

After downloading album covers into iTunes iTunes does not show most of the covers. It showas blank white boxes except for those where "cover not found" (music notes).
You have any idea how this happens, perhaps with location of the files.

iTunes refuses to play/read file, it cannot recognizes headers, or recognizes those as corrupt, but giving no error messages. The problem is the stored artwork(s) on your music files. To correct this, select the files that are corrupted/cannot be played on iTunes&iPod, click "Convert ID3 Tags...", then select v1.1 from the dropdown box (first, try this on a few to see that my solution is working).
By doing so, iTunes replaces headers, but your ID3 tags will not be changed (I assume you are using ID3 v2.4), nor you'll lose any info or anything else. This works as a hotfix for those files. If you try to replace headers via another program, your information will be truncated, and any artwork stored will be deleted. So I recommend this one.
You'll see that iTunes cannot play most of the files that has artwork(s) stored in them. New version hasn't fixed this problem, and it has risen with iTunes 8.2.x. If it's going to take long, I suggest you should go back to 8.1.x.
With best regards,

I recently purchased Foo Fighters Sonic Highways on iTunes. Where is the album artwork, liner notes and pictures? When purchasing/downloading entire album on iTunes, do you get this information with the purchase?

The album cover art should show on the album in the Music part of your library. For other pictures and/or notes, does the album description page in the store say that it's an iTunes LP (does it have an LP label against it in the store) ? If not then you will just get the tracks.

What does Music iTunes Album Artwork Cache do?

What does this Cache folder hold, and what is it used for?
The reason I ask is I get a very juddery scroll when perusing my music by album cover until all the albums have loaded into memory and then it goes smooth.
If I could increase the cache size that iTunes held of my cover artwork this might fix it...?

It's a cache of the artwork.
It's on the file system, not in memory.
You don't have any options over it's size.
I think what you're asking for is a more effective cache. Much as I'm now commited to iTunes (it runs my iPod and I'm addicted to podcasts) Windows Media Player does a much better job of handling artwork. In WMP the art is rendered on the off-screen sections of the page so that it is immediately visible as you scroll up & down. In iTunes it appears to be fetched as an afterthought.

Where are you looking to download them from ? You might be able to redownload them via the Purchased link under Quicklinks on the right-hand side of the iTunes store homepage on your Mac's iTunes. If that album shows there but doesn't have the cloud symbol against it for redownloading then that implies that it's still in your iTunes library

TS1424 I downloaded an album, but most of the songs are incomplete. The itunes list shows the appropriate song length, but the actual songs are not completely downloaded - meaning it does not give me the option of finishing the download.

I purchased a complete album, but most songs are only about a minute in duration rather than their actual lengths. The times showing indicate the full song was downloaded, but in reality, its like listening to a sample. I want to get entire songs, but the itunes list shows it as downloaded, so it does not seem to give me the option to download again. I sure would like to get what I paid for. Any suggestions?

If your country's iTunes Store allows you to redownload purchased tracks, I'd delete your current copies of the dodgy tracks and try redownloading fresh copies. For instructions, see the following document:
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
Otherwise, I'd report the problem to the iTunes Store.
Log in to the Store. Click on "Account" in your Quick Links. When you're in your Account information screen, go down to Purchase History and click "See all".
Find the items that are not playing properly. If you can't see "Report a Problem" next to the items, click the "Report a problem" button. Now click the "Report a Problem" links next to the items.

Hello, Welcome to Apple Discussions.
Are your songs from Audio CDs or iTunes Store? If not you may need to manually find the album artwork for them as these songs may not be listed in the iTunes Store database for your region.
iTunes: Album art may not download properly
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1815
iTunes will only download album artwork for songs that it can find in the iTunes Store. iTunes will check each song in your iTunes library and attempt to match it up with a song in the iTunes Store. If the data matches, iTunes will download the album artwork from the iTunes Store and add it to the song in your iTunes library. If iTunes does not find a particular song's artwork in the iTunes Store, you will not see an alert message. iTunes simply does not download artwork for that song.

ITunes not finding album artwork

I'm getting a bit sick of this - why does iTunes not find any album artwork any more, yet it recognises the album & finds all the tracks? This seems to be a constant problem on this forum - anyone have any ideas...? I have iTunes 11 & a desktop intel Mac, OS X 10.7.

I wouldn't be in a hurry to upgrade to 8.2.
Make sure that the *Album Artist* and Artist of your album matches up with what's in the iTunes Store EXCEPT if the artist has an ampersand (&) in it. Then put in everything up until the space before the ampersand. (You're free to edit the info after you've gotten the correctly downloaded artwork.) In some cases you may not get the correct artwork no matter how you match the data.

ITunes cannot download album artwork

I am using iTunes 7.5 on Windows XP, and have imported my music from my CD collection using iTunes. While iTunes is able to detect the album, artist, and song titles and download that information from the Internet, it does not do so automatically. (The option is set to automatically check in Preferences, but the information is still not retrieved unless 'Get CD Track Names' is selected from the menu.) The iTunes Store does not appear in the 'store pane' at the bottom of every window, and is only accessible through the 'iTunes Store' option on the left.
In iTunes, when 'Get Album Artwork' is selected from the menu, the following message appears after processing all of the albums: *"Could not get artwork for some albums."* When the "##+(total number of albums)+ notifications" is expanded, the following error is shown for every album in the library: *"Artwork for "+(Artist Name - Album Name)+" could not be found. An unknown error occurred. (-609)"* This happens even when the option is selected from the menu manually, and CD track names can still be downloaded. This problem only occurs on a certain computer; another computer running iTunes 7.5 on the same network works fine without any of the problems mentioned.
I noticed that several other users had posted similar questions a few months ago in other forums, but none of them had found a solution. Has anyone else experienced this problem, and are there any known ways to correct it?

I think that the iTunes database in your Windows user profile might be corrupted. I managed to solve the problem by creating a new database and reimporting my songs into the library. The album art downloaded automatically after that.
1) Check the Automatically download missing album artwork is selected on the General tab in iTunes preferences
2) Close iTunes
3) Rename the iTunes folder (usually found in +My Music+)
4) Reopen iTunes (this creates a new iTunes folder in +My Music+)
5) Copy and paste the contents of your music folders (+iTunes Music+ folder) into the newly created +iTunes Music+ folder
6) Reopen iTunes and select File > Add Folder to Library > Browse to your iTunes folder in +My Music+ > OK
Your music will then be imported into the new iTunes database and the album art should be downloaded automatically.

Artwork on my iPad does not match iTunes and is not correct for movies, TV Shows Nd some songs

Artwork on my iPad does not match iTunes and is not correct for Movies, TV Shows and some songs & Albums. Is this issue resolved? If so what was or is the fix. I have not been successful in locating that. I found posts stretching back into late 2010.

most of these items were downloaded from eihter iTunes or in the case of movies, imported into the app and then loading them to TV Series or Movies as appropriate. They were all fine until about two days ago when I did a sync. Then the artwork went haywire. I tried manualy removing and replacing the artwork in iTunes with the correct jpg's. and then re-sync. iTunes shows everything OK, but the iPad is the one with it all messed up.

ITunes Match not matching the songs, not uploading album artwork

In the past few months I started having problems with the ITM. Whenever I add a new song to iTunes and subsequently add it to ITM, the program seems to get stuck on the 3 step and reboots. As a result I am unable to add new songs to my iPhone because they are not in ITM. I also noticed that not all album artwork has been added to the iTunes and ITM. I have read other discussions and I know that I am not the only one having these issues. This is a very convenient service and I would like to continue to use it, however if Apple does not do anything about it, then I'll have to cancell my subscription.

While we're at it can anyone convince me itunes match is a good idea?? From what I've read from others it doesn't have that much going for it other than being a itunes back up........ I've got an external HDD for that so think I should have saved my money
That's exactly what it isn't, you should not use iTunes match as a back up. If titles are removed from the store you will no longer be able to download them. iTunes match works perfectly well for me as intended, that's with my library on my Mac backed up to an external HD and accessible via iTunes match on every other device I have.
As for your setting up issue, what do you mean by stopping and starting, are you turning iTunes match off when you do this.
