Album artwork for songs is sometimes not there

it changes from time to time, but the album artwork on my computer remains correct but when i sync my ipod touch it sometimes is not there or is some other image, like a screen shot from a random video or a different artwork.
Please tell me how to fix this and if anyone else experiences this
thanks!

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

HELP - Album artwork for songs jumbled up!!!

I took so much time getting album artwork for each of 2000 songs in iTunes expecting them to transfer to 5th Generation iPod and was soooo disappointed when they came up jumbled. I know I'm anal but I like the look!!! The videos come out OK, it's just the tunes.
My iPod is up to date with latest software. Any others with the same problem and some possible solutions? I have completely erased all songs/videos on the iPod and done an Automatic Update from iTunes and they still come up jumbled. I have tried to pick them out one at a time and getting very frustrated.
Thanks!

Does the album art show-up correctly for each song in the lower left-hand corner of the iTunes window on your computer? Did you drag the art to that window to add it, or did add it through the tab under Get Info?

Getting Album Artwork for songs NOT in iTunes and ONLY on iPod

Hello
Am I missing something obvious here? I am struggling with the album artwork feature for use in the coverflow section of the iPod Classic 80GB. I do NOT keep all of my songs in iTunes as my laptop hard drive is just not big enough.
My problem is that highlighting the songs on my iPod once I've connected it to iTunes then selecting Get Album Artwork simply doesn't work. Only trawling through countless forums on various websites I've discovered that possibly the artwork is only updated for songs you have in the iTunes library or only for songs bought on iTunes. I have 1000s of CDs I've uploaded onto my iPod (surely lots of people do not keep their music in iTunes for the same reason as me - small hard drive?)
There MUST be a software fix for this problem that could be issued out? Or if not, somebody should come up with a fix on an independent website. By the way, all of my tracks on the iPod have had their info obtained from the Gracenotes system used through iTunes so not having matching info to iTunes cannot be a reason for the lack of artwork can it?
I'd love to hear a solution to this problem.
Thanks

My problem is that highlighting the songs on my iPod once I've connected it to iTunes then selecting Get Album Artwork simply doesn't work.
Correct. It's meant to access your iTunes library and add artwork from the iTunes store.
There MUST be a software fix for this problem that could be issued out?
Nothing that I know of because it's meant to work this way.
By the way, all of my tracks on the iPod have had their info obtained from the Gracenotes system used through iTunes so not having matching info to iTunes cannot be a reason for the lack of artwork can it?
No, because as I say, it's meant to add artwork in the iTunes library (although even this can sometimes be an issue if the album info obtained from Gracenote doesn't match what's in the iTunes store.)
If an iPod is set to manage the songs manually, then it's possible to add the artwork to the songs directly onto the iPod (when looking at them through iTunes) without adding it to the songs in iTunes. Just copy paste an album image from (say) Amazon into the artwork box in the bottom left corner when looking at the songs on your iPod through iTunes.
However, I have found that if you are adding artwork directly to the iPod via iTunes and not to songs in the library first of all, then some (or all) artwork may not display correctly.

ITunes can't get album artwork for songs iTunes has in the store... how do i fix this?

i have a bunch of songs that either have the wrong album artwork or none at all. the weirdest thing is that some of the albums are SOLD on iTunes. in fact, if i highlight one of my songs in iTunes, Ping sees it and shows me the correct cover art. BUT when i click "get album artwork", it tells me it cannot find the artwork. i've tried matching the text (song title, album title, artist, genre) exactly as it is in iTunes, but that doesn't help. it is doing this for about 60 of my albums and i don't know how to fix it. how can i get it to find the artwork?
also... when iTunes finds the WRONG artwork, how can i direct it to the correct one?

Albums, artists and complications must match precisely for iTunes to get a hit. If you have a compilation, chances are you have a 'various artists' for an album artists ... there is a bit of a science to it. I've managed to get most of my 'picky ones' to match. But I have some that just won't - for whatever reason.

Why does iTunes spend ages processing album artwork for no apparent reason?

I have a 65,000+ files on assorted drives. I tag in another ap, so I don't use iTunes to get artwork. However, everytime I add files to my playlist it insists on "processing album artwork" for every file, even if there isn't any, or if the files are being re-added after being moved to a different drive. What is iTunes up to, & is there any way of disabling it?
On a related note, it would be really useful if iTunes could be set to search certain folders for altered, moved or deleted files & update the library automatically. Any chance this could be introduced in a future version?

No, it isn't! Maybe I should check it, then restart iTunes, uncheck it again & restart iTunes again. Might be worth a try.

"If the content doesn't exist in iTunes then you can'd load artwork."
If not in the iTunes Store, iTunes uses the Graceland database for artwork and tag info.

Multiple artworks for songs of a the same album

What I have are multiple icons of the same for each song of a particular album, e.g. if I have 10 songs of an album I might have 5 pieces of the same album artwork for every 2 songs. I'm wanting to link the songs all together for a particular album under one icon artwork. How is this done? Furthermore, if I were to choose 20 songs to be linked together under a particular piece of artwork, how would this be done? Finally, in the Info on any particular song, what does the checkbox 'Part of a Compilation' actually refer to?

*Finally, in the Info on any particular song, what does the checkbox 'Part of a Compilation' actually refer to?*
It refers to the song in question and the album it's from. In the Gracenote database the album is referenced as a compilation (either of songs by different artists that are all on one album or that the songs are all from a best of or greatest hits type album). Personally I wouldn't regard single artist Greatest Hits or Best of albums as compilations but many are marked as such in Gracenote.

On my ipod touch 4g, its showing the incorrect album artwork for the songs

On my ipod touch 4g it's showing incorrect album artwork. I have music I bought from iTunes and some music from the internet that isn't included in iTunes. The problem has been going on for a while but i've ignored it but now I would like the correct album artwork for each song. First, I deleted every single song in my itunes iTunes libaray, then synced my ipod. Then i put the music i bought from iTunes in my libaray and synced it and the album artwork that showed was from songs and albums that I had deleted from my iTunes libaray. It's becoming a very fustrating problem that I would like to be solved.

Missing artwork for songs still on iPhone 4s after deleting those songs from my mac

When I delete songs from iTunes on my mac, the next time I plug in my iphone 4s (for a manual sync) my iphone loses all the album artwork for any songs no longer on my mac (that are still on my phone). How do I stop this from happening and restore artwork to my iphone without having to manually reapply the artwork to each song?
My best guess is that iTunes is syncing the song information/tags on my iphone to match the information/tags on my macbook each time I sync. Whatever the reason, I should be able to import CDs, transfer them to my iphone (with artwork), delete the files from my computer (leaving them only on my iphone) and not have problems losing the artwork from my phone. If it was there in the first place, it should stay there. Help?

I had same problem and took half a day to figure it out... I tried everything i could think or read here and nothing worked. So i decide to restore my iPhone 4S and configure it as a new one. But before, i did some copy/paste of my photos/video folders from Windows Explorer then i've select all then tried to delete it from windows explorer..after few deleted i got a message saying that the device wasnt responding or was unpluged. But wasnt.
some files was not deletable. And in my iPhone the pictures wasnt there too but files was listed in windows explorer....
So, i did a Photos sync but choosing the Windows Sample folder only. It wiped out all my photos folder and did new one, then all my songs were synced again and all is back and playable.
I suggest, look if you have photos, videos, apps that isnt working or not deletable.. then wipe it out by an iTunes sync (unselecting sync those things or sync completely different apps or folder)
It worked for me... Hope you get it fixed too.

Cannot Download Album Artwork for Albums I Know Exist on iTunes.

Hi.
Recently I decided to clear all of my album artwork. I selected all of my albums and right clicked on an album, selected "get info," checked the box next to "artwork," and clicked "ok."
With all of the albums already selected I successfully downloaded all of the art except for 20 albums.
For some reason I cannot download the album artwork for twenty albums I know are available on iTunes.
Any help would be much appreciated.
-Thanks

when you right mouse click on a song do you not see this?
