Album Artwork graphic glitch

Hi all, need some assistance. Recently installed latest iTunes on a Vista laptop and to my surprise even without album covers being shown (not pulled them in yet) the album artwork view gets corrupt. It spreads across the whole display quite quickly but if you go to the store or other album views all is well.
It looks like artifacts, oddly the machine otherwise plays Quicktime movie trailers perfectly via iTunes without aforementioned lines (all horizontal black with a tinge of pink). Tried Googling this and found nothing similar so here I am and I'd like to know what to do.
It occurred to me to install latest DirectX build + latest 3D card drivers but seems really odd such a simple graphic effect in iTunes could glitch when a Quicktime trailer is far more demanding and has no such effect on the machine. Please post your thoughts.

Andrew,
I'm not sure but with my sisters computer running xp having an issue that I think is similar I changed the settings in (Advance) tab of the (Display) Menu from (16-bit) to (32-bit).
More detailed instructions listed here: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS2030
Hope that helps with your issue.

  • ITunes 7 Errors/Glitches and Album Artwork Not Displaying on iPod

    Looks like a lot of people are having problems with the new iTunes 7. After downloading iTunes7 and the new ipod updater, and having iTunes go and get the album artwork I was missing, some of the album artwork that displayed in iTunes would not display on my iPod (Gen 5). Very weird. I then tried to follow the suggestions on this board to deselect the "display album art on ipod" (in the Music tab of iPod preferences) so that I could then reselect and resynch (which supposed to fix the problem). It was very difficult to achieve this, as iTunes repeatedly had problems recognizing my ipod (even though it was sitting there in the source list). Managed to somehow get it to work, only to discover that while some missing album artwork had been added to ipod and properly displayed, others that had been there before were now gone (but were fine in iTunes)!!! And trying to repeat the deselect/reselect steps only resulted in more error messages ("The Settings were not saved for the iPod ___ because it could not be found." and "iPod update failed. disconnect and reconnect, then try again.")
    I happen to have Apple Care for my iPod. Was on phone for ONE HOUR with rep who, while friendly, had no idea what was going on.
    Okay Apple, I hope you're reading this, PLEASE FIX THE BUGS. I thought I escaped the problems of buggy software releases when I switched from Microsoft to Apple.

    UPDATE on previous posting:
    Okay, with help of previously mentioned Apple rep, I uninstalled and reinstalled iTunes 7 AND restored my iPod G5. After resynching my 5000+ songs, ALL the album artwork not displaying per previous posting is now displaying. HOWEVER (and Apple employees please take note here), when I tried to change the iPod settings AT ALL (e.g., deselect Synch Movies, TV Shows, Games, etc.) and then select APPLY, same problem!! So it appears this is where the problem lies. Somehow making any changes to these options and then hitting Apply causes the error ("...iPod could not be found" etc.) My workaround (since I am not intending to use iPod for movies or TV shows or games) is to change the Main Menu listings in Settings so I don't have to see them.
    APPLE: PLEASE STUDY AND FIX! Thank you....

  • Weird iTunes 10.6.3 missing album artwork issue

    I upgraded to iTunes 10.6.3 yesterday, and I had to restart my Mac for an unrelated issue. This afternoon, I noticed something really weird- all my "Documentary" movies that I purchased through iTunes Store have lost their artwork previews; meaning, if I click on "Movies" in the Library menu at left, then select the "Documentary" genre, and view the movies under "Grid" mode, none of the movies have any artwork along the left side next to the title. It has ONLY affected the "Documentary" movies, but none of my other genres. In fact, I created a separate sub-category for "Disney Documentaries", and those movies are missing the artwork in "Grid" view as well. If I view all Movies in "List" mode, all the movies have artwork EXCEPT the Documentaries.  Interestingly enough- if I select a Documentary movie and type "Cmd+I", then select the "Artwork" tab in the "Information" window. the artwork is still there, it just doesn't show in the "List" or "Grid" view.  How can I fix this? I am currently rebuilding the Spotlight Index, I've repaired permissions, and even done a verify/repair with Disk Utility, but nothing has worked so far. I've already checked the "Automatically Download Missing Album Artwork" under Preferences, but that didn't solve the problem either. The movies all play fine otherwise, but this little glitch is frustrating me. Please help!

    I have this issue.  Album artwork was totally fine before.  After this update, it is all messed up and even got messed up when transferred to my iphone.
    iTunes doesn't have the artwork anymore, but then iPhone has it but shows wrong artwork with wrong albums.
    Please fix!

  • MSI N560GTX-Ti Twin Frozr II/OC: Graphical Glitches/Corruption

    Hello, I bought and installed an MSI N560GTX-Ti Twin Frozr II/OC video card one week ago. For the last week, it has been running perfectly, but today when I started up a game the 3D graphics began glitching and showing random stretched triangles and distorted models. While the 3D graphics are running, the monitor randomly loses signal from the video card and occasionally the program will crash with a popup bubble stating that the NVIDIA driver has recovered from a problem.
    After reading through some posts here, I downloaded the MSI Afterburner program, enabled voltage monitoring, and set everything to defaults.
    The defaults are:
    Core Voltage: 1000 mV
    Core Clock : 880 MHz
    Shader Clock : 1760 MHz
    Memory Clock : 2100 MHz
    When I click the button to run a Kombuster stability test, the 3D has the same graphical glitches that I saw in my games. Here is a screenshot:
    http://i733.photobucket.com/albums/ww333/MP64x2/corrupted_880.jpg
    I tried lowering the Core Clock speed and retrying the test. It appears that the level of corruption is proportional to the clock speed. At the minimum clock speed of 440 MHz, the graphics are almost perfect, however a glitch or two will still occasionally show up.
    Here is the test at Core Clock = 705 MHz: http://i733.photobucket.com/albums/ww333/MP64x2/corrupted_705.jpg
    and at 440 MHz: http://i733.photobucket.com/albums/ww333/MP64x2/corrupted_440.jpg
    - I've tried bumping up the Core Voltage a little to around 1020 mV, but it doesn't seem to have any effect.
    - Lowering the Memory Clock also reduces glitches, but they never go away completely.
    - Even at the absolute minimum clock settings, my games still glitch and crash.
    - I do not have access to another system that I can try the video card in.

    As I type this I'm starting to get corruption right on my desktop too, with random pixels changing color and black rectangles appearing on applications.
    From what I've read in other threads, it seems like my power supply may not be sufficient since it has multiple 12V rails, but before I spend ~$100 on a new one I thought I'd see if anyone had any other thoughts.

    I have an interesting update on my original problem.
    A week after I reseated the card, the graphical glitches returned. I turned the computer off, reseated the card again, turned it on, and it began working fine.
    Another week goes by with no problems, and then a couple days ago the glitches came back. Thinking it strange that the card could somehow take approximately the same amount of time to cause the same kind of bad connection, I wondered if there was something else that was causing the glitches to temporarily disappear.
    I tried rebooting my computer, but the glitches remained.
    I then completely turned off my computer and pulled out the power cord and left it for a couple minutes. I didn't open the case at all and made sure not to do anything that would bump any components. I turned the computer back on - glitches are gone once again.
    So, it would seem that it may in fact have something to do with the power supply and not any bad connections with the card itself - at least, that's the best guess I have at the moment. I leave my computer on 24/7 so it seems like it doesn't like being left on for an entire week with this new video card installed.
    Does this sound sensible? Is it possible for a power supply to slowly fail over several days, only to start working again after being powered down for a couple minutes?
    Did you ever figure your issue out?  I have the exact same issue.  My system runs fine for almost a week...and then my desktop starts artifacting.  The only way it goes away is to unplug my pc (or flip the switch on PSU).  Then it runs again perfectly for nearly a week again and I start getting artifacts and the message stating that the graphics driver has stopped working and then recovered.
    I also run my pc 24/7 and this problem is getting very annoying!  My PSU shouldn't be a problem as I have the PC & Cooling 750W...
    Oh...almost forgot.  I've seen the same issue on 2 video cards now.  RMA'd the first one and the second one does the exact same thing...

  • Can't Get Album Artwork

    iTunes isn't letting me get any album artwork and is showing up with a message saying, "*Error -609*."
    What do I do, and how do I get artwork (as this is a huge pet-peeve of mine)?

    Im absolutly fed up with iTunes. Whats more insulting is that after going through the whole setting up of an account, and not getting any artwork at all, I cant close or cancel my account. If itunes cant do a simple thing like artwork, how can i trust that some glitch wont charge my credit card for stuff i never bought?

  • Unable to print album artwork, though it is in iTunes

    Hello,
    I have iTunes 8.0.2.
    I purchased an album from the iTunes store, removing it immediately from the 'Purchased' list for reasons I won't bore you with. I burned a CD and then went to print the artwork, to find that it came up blank in the preview. I checked in the 'Music' list, in artwork display mode, and the album is, indeed, there, with the correct listing and graphics. However, perhaps due to my having disrupted the cohesion of the album in some other way, whilst all others display 'Play album' when hovered over, this one shows up 'Play Selected'.
    Can anyone tell me what I've done and how to correct it?
    Many thanks,
    Alpha

    CDs don't contain artwork so you wouldn't find any connected with the files that were burned. When you download music from the iTunes Store a proprietary format artwork file for the tracks you download is placed into the Album Artwork folder inside your iTunes folder. That's why you can see artwork against the original file(s) in iTunes and not against the files on the CD. You should be able to print a CD insert for the album using the tracks in iTunes. Highlight the album tracks and go to Edit>Print>CD Jewel Case Insert, choose the style of insert you want from the Theme menu.

  • Playing shared music, some album artwork is missing

    Rather than copy my iTunes library to my Apple TV, I just use the "Shared" feature. But when playing music shared from my Mac, sometimes the Apple TV doesn't display album artwork (i.e., I get the generic album outline with notes in it) for albums that have artwork in my iTunes library. Some of these are even songs purchased from iTunes. The connection is via a wired gigabit network. Any ideas why the artwork doesn't show up?

    Personally I think it's a software glitch that doesn't update teh artwork properly.
    One of the recent iTunes updates lost a load of artwork for me too - things not purchased from the store but recently imported. I somehow feel iTunes is getting a bit too big and bloated with all the different things it has to support.

  • Album artwork not displaying for all albums in Coverflow view

    Very interesting problem I'm having. All of my music has album artwork assigned to it and can clearly be seen in the preview pane at the bottom left of the iTunes window. However, not all the albums show up in the new Coverflow feature in iTunes 7. I've been trying to figure out what might be different about these images that would cause them to not show up. Also, the albums that don't show up in Coverflow view don't show up on my iPod nano either; all the other ones are fine though. Any ideas?
    17" Powerbook G4   Mac OS X (10.4.7)  
      Mac OS X (10.4.5)  

    I'm experiencing the same. It is funny, I can definitely not see something the displayed (or not displayed) graphics have in common. Some were fetched from the iTS, some bought from iTS, some fetched from other locations ...
    At first I thought that it might be because of my old but brave little iBook, but if you see the same on an G4, this is probably not the reason.
    My library is on an external hard drive connected via FireWire, and it is quite big (almost 15,000 tracks).
    Any help is appreciated

  • Why wont my itunes download album artwork

    when i click 'get album artwork' it says 'artwork could not be found'. ive checked that all the info is correct but it still wont work! help?

    iTunes supports two ways to associate cover art with albums:
    Right-click on the album and select Get Album Artwork - if the same album is available in the iTunes Store (matched by artist + album title) the artwork will be downloaded automatically.  The 'artwork could not be found' indicates either that the album you're looking at is not available in the iTunes Store, or is there with artist/title info sufficiently different from what you have to make a match possible.
    Otherwise, you can use artwork from other sources (images found on the 'net, your own scans of CD covers, etc.).  Right click on the album, select Get Info, then the Artwork tab.  It'll look like this (iTunes 12.1):
    You can then add an image in any one of three ways:
    Click the Add Artwork button, navigate to and select an image file you want to add, click Open.
    Drag and drop an image file from Windows Explorer to the Artwork tab
    Copy the image file to the Windows clipboard, either by right-click copy on the image file, right-click copy on the image in a web browser, or copy within any graphics program,  Then switch to iTunes and with the Artwork tab selected press Ctrl-V.  Prior to iTunes 12 you could also right-click > Paste in this scenario, but - either by intent or as the result of an unfixed bug - this has been missing from iTunes 12.0 and 12.1.

  • Album Artwork Wiped Out

    I have a 2nd generation iPod Nano & I use it on 3 different computers-- all are Windows (I believe Windows XP).
    A few weeks back, while my iPod was connected to one of my computers, it disconnected on its own while it was plugged in. Or rather, it made the disconnecting sound & disappeared from iTunes, even though the iPod itself still showed the "Do Not Disconnect" message. I didn't know what to do in this case & not being the iPod expert (or even the computer expert!), I just unplugged it & then plugged it back in. I didn't want to do this, but I have done it before with no problems. This time, my music files remained fine, but ALL my album art had disappeared. The "display album artwork" box was checked, but I unchecked it & checked it again... most of my artwork came back, but I was able to replace the rest manually. After a few days, all my album art was back again, to my delight.
    Now, just recently, on another computer, my iPod was plugged in as I was adding new music. When I went to eject it, that box came up saying my iPod was in use by another application. Again, not knowing what to do, and knowing that flat out unplugging it last time casued that artwork error, I tried resetting the iPod (while it was still plugged into the computer, with the "Do Not Disconnect" message flashing). Well, it got me back to the regular iPod menu screen again, at which point I just unplugged the iPod, but once again, ALL my album artwork had disappeared!!! Arrggh!! Only this time, I tried pugging it right back into the computer so I can immediately begin the process of re-adding all my artwork, but a message popped up that I never saw before: it said something along the lines of my computer not being able to recognize the data on my iPod. It suggested restoring to factory settings. I'd rather not do that just yet as I don't want to lose all my music (I'm going to try it on my computer tomorrow morning).
    In the meantime, I was wondering if anyone knows what's causing these problems!! Is there a glitch? Am I doing something wrong? Isthere an easy way to get all my artwork back (why does unchecking & checking the display artwork box only bring back some of my artwork)? My iPod is 2 years old & beyond warranty. I think I'm just going to ask for a new iPod for Christmas, but it just seems silly that I'd have to throw the towel in on this one. Before I take it to an Apple Store & wait in that line, I thought I'd try these boards.
    Sorry for the long rambly post... I wanted to cover all my bases so hopefully someone can tell me what's wrong!

    iTunes doesn't do any automatic tag updating, but it does occasionally "discover" edits made by other software. I strongly suspect Windows Media Player will be the culprit here. Even if you don't actively use it, it may run in the background as a result of visiting websites with active content that uses it.
    See this thread for some background and suggested options to disable in WMP.

  • Album artwork incorrect

    Is anyone experiencing the wrong cover art showing up after you let your playlists repeat? When I initially play my playlist, all is fine and dandy, but when my playlist repeats, the song showing is correct, but the album artwork is completely wrong. So I could be listening to the Shins, but Guns N Roses artwork shows up. I can replicate on my 8GB 3g nano. Anyone else have this?

    Yes, I'm getting this issue too, although in my case it's as a result of using "Shuffle Songs" mode - initially the artwork is correct but after a period of time (possibly related to number of songs played - if I skip tracks and/or jump to previous tracks it happens sooner) it gets all scrambled up. Turning Shuffle or Repeat modes off, or stopping the playlist and choosing something else will clear it up OK for me. Rebooting (per the other poster in the thread) is a temporary fix also.
    Whilst it's clearly Yet Another 1.0C Firmware Glitch, it's at least an amusing one: Some of the artwork / track juxtapositions it's come up with for me have been fairly amusing

  • ITS not updating album artwork

    I have tried multiple ways listed on multiple posts.  Let me spell out as much detail as I can here.
    iTS Podcast URL: https://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/hardstyle-team/id334802520
    My podcast's album artwork has gone awry since they standard change to 1400x1400px for the artwork.  I had made the recommended changes such as crearting a new file and referencing it, not overwriting my current file, but no luck.  I have been reverted to the default artwork ever since. 
    After a month or so I had thought it may be the Wordpress plug-in I was using.  BluBrry.  Because now my feeds weren't updating.  I tinkered around and re-installed BluBrry and Wordpress running all default recommended settings.  My feed had finally updated, but not the album artwork.  And for some reason my feed was only showing 9 episodes? 
    So I decided perhaps I'll dump everything on another domain and use Podcast Maker since it had a free 30 day trial.
    I set 301's to my old feeds and included the iTunesNewUrl line.
    http://hardstyleteam.us/feed/podcast/  is now  http://podcast.hrdstyl.com
    Feed displays as valid but there has been no change in my ITS listing. 
    This is frustrating when I am regularly ranking in the top 50 in the Netherlands Music Podcasts, but displaying a generic placeholder graphic with no episodes being updated.
    Any help is appreciated. 
    Thank You!

    iTunes is indeed using the feed at http://podcast.hrdstyl.com/ at least for subscribers. The episodes up to 36 show in the Store: episode 37 shows when subscribing but as it was only uploaded today it won't appear in the Store for a day or two.
    You have an image correctly referenced in the feed: it should appear in the Store eventually but it can take a week or two for images to appear.
    You have a 301 redirect in place:  I don't know what the result will be if you remove it. Obviously the itunes:new-feed-url only works if the Store can read the old feed - that will move it permanently. However Apple do advise using both, and leaving both in place for two weeks, so presumably it will be OK.

  • Album Artwork wanted in Music App - NOT Artist profile image

    Right, so i've already read a bunch of threads pertaining to this issue but none have helped me so im starting my own.
    I'm a hardened iphone user, and mac user in general, residing in the UK.
    I recently bought an iphone 5s on O2 network and syncronised my new handset from a back up i had which was made from my old iphone 4s.
    Now, im aware others experience a similar problem with the Music app in iOS7 - in that some artists show an "Artist profile picture" and others show one (of perhaps many) album artworks which are stored on the device.
    This is an issue for me, here's why...
    Being a huge music lover, and a creative (im a graphic designer) i digest my music library when scrolling visually through the artworks i see.
    Without them, im usually highly uninterested in listening to anything as i can never decide what to put on.
    Some artists profile pictures look more or less the same too, so i could be staring at 3 seperate artists who all look the same yet span completely different genres and i'll skip past every one of them because i cant remember exactly what songs i may have of theirs on my iphone.
    I've read up on how people have managed to get ALL artists in their music library to display the artist profile picture instead of the album artwork, but not how they managed to get the album artwork back instead of the artist profile images.
    I find this heavily annoying having just invested in a 64gb (32gb wasn't enough for my library of music) and ironically, i now don't want to listen to any of it because its so difficult to mentally register what i have in front of me, and make a choice...
    help!

    I know there is a setting in iTunes but I am not sure if it applies to iOS. Especially if songs are purchased directly on iOS but you can experiment with it.

  • Wrong album artwork syncing to iPhone

    on my Mac and from what I've seen on my iPad as well the right album artwork displays but on my iPhone it seems to like mix up the artwork on some songs, some downloaded from iTunes, some ripped from a CD, like I might have a song from Adele but on the iPod and also on the lock screen it will show maybe the artwork of Jack Johnson! I mean its not a big deal but does anyone know how to fix this?
    Thank you

    It gives you the ability to use multiple computers to manually add your own music, i.e. music you have legitimately acquired, to your iPod. For example, I have 2 computers, I manually manage my music on my iPod Classic so I can hook it up to my MacBook Pro and put songs on that I don't have on my Mac Pro.
    I also has a car that will go much faster than the speed limit. Just because it gives me that ability does not allow me to drive 120 mph on a local street.
