Album Artwork not downloading

Hiya,
I recently had to re-install iTunes Version 7 after a computer failure. I installed the the software and restored all my tunes and the album art work for all tunes, including those added from CD downloaded automatically. I hadnt downloaded these before as I had been using an old version of iTunes.
However, the system will now not download any album artwork for tunes added from CD. I have checked the help files, made the correct settings on iTunes and have also checked that the CD's Iam adding are available iStore and it should be working.
Has anyone else had this problem?
Regards
Mark

Actually no it doesn't, but when I do a search from iTunes I can find the Album just fine. I've copied the info from iTunes and did a Copy/Paste into the correct fields in my Library. No misspellings or anything.
Here's one of the album/artist I'm having trouble getting the album cover for.

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....

Hello, I have songs that show they are "Waiting" for download from the cloud but they are greyed out. Some songs in one album are done others in the same album will not download. It is not a time function because i have been working on this for weeks. I have allowed my compter to run for days and the songs are still not accessible. I have a Match subscription and Match is working. If I click on the "Genre" link the greyed out songs show that they are ready for download from the cloud but I cannot download them. I have downloaded over 1500 other songs, so I am trying to understand what is going on here. I would appreciate any help anyone can give me.
Thanks

I did think about that and if I have to I will do that, however there are about 50 songs. I have closed and reopened iTunes several times and I am sure that I have the latest version. It fails right away but I can click on the cloud download icon and download the song that it failed on ... therefore it is not that song "or any one song" causing the issue. Any ideas?

"album artwork not modifiable"

after upgrading to version 7 it seems that the albums in my library have randomly been designated as "album artwork not modifiable" , making it impossible for me to even manually add the artwork.
any help appreciated.

For some reason, iTunes 7.0 is converting songs to QuickTime Movie files when it imports music into your song library. I'm not sure how to fix THAT, as it may be a bug with iTunes itself.
Instead of reverting to 6, try converting the file to something other than a QuickTime file (control + click or right-click and select "convert selection to xxx"). Once the file is converted to a format other than a QT movie, you should be able to save album artwork on that new file. Just delete the original (apple + i for the information screen to confirm that you are deleting the right file).
I just tried it myself, and it looks like this should work until Apple fixes iTunes 7. I've never seen iTunes import files as a QuickTime movie. I assume this is only a problem for MP3 files, because I tried importing an AAC file and it worked just fine.
Hope this helps!

Updating Album Art, when iTunes says "Album Artwork Not Modifiable"

How can I go about updating or adding album art when the Artwork area at the lower left corner of iTunes says, "Album Artwork Not Modifiable"? Every effort to add the artwork from iTunes has failed. When I paste the album photo from another site, it doesn't save.

I figured this out. I found that the folder and files only had "read" privileges and not "read & write" privileges. I did the following:
1. In finder I right clicked the parent folder for iTunes and selected "Get Info".
2. Selected my user and changed the rights to "read & write".
3. This step is the most important. With my user still selected in blue, you click on the options "cog wheel" below the users, at the bottom. Select, "Apply to the enclosed items". It may ask you again if you are sure, say "yes". By doing this you will apply your users "read & write" privileges to all folders and files underneath your iTunes folder.
This worked for me and I wish you the best!

Why is "Album Artwork Not Modifiable" ?

I've seen this problem with certain MP3 files. However, this is now happening with some other songs that are AAC format. Can someone help me?
Thanks!

The option is not available; it says the Album Artwork Not Modifiable. Why not?!
The files are read-only or non-writable for some reason. Album Artwork is added to the files themselves, and if they're read only, iTunes can't add the artwork.
The reason it works after you convert the file is because the new copy of the file is not marked read-only.

Album Artwork not modifiable - why?

I'm having problems with my Podcast (channel) album art. It's a 300 x 300 jpeg, 72 dpi, but iTunes is telling me that its not modifiable. I've tried different file names - still doesn't work. Is there a colour depth limit? If so what is it? And is there a nice easy way to convert it using PSP7?

Album artwork not modifiable problems

I can get album art from lots of places, the problem is I tunes will not let me put in. keeps coming up with album artwork not modifiable I'm not trying to modify anything. I just want to put some album art in. Is there a way around this ?? I tunes is pretty good most of the time, but sometimes it makes a person want to just go sit in a corner and eat dirt..........

Ah, okay. Well, if you are trying to get artwork by using that handy "Get Album Artwork" feature of iTunes, it is likely that you aren't going to get some art because the iTunes database doesn't have every album under the sun.
So here is what you do: 1) Run a Google image search, or something similar, and find the artwork online. (If you own the album physically, you can always scan the artwork into your computer yourself if you have a scanner.)
2) Save the artwork to your hard drive (make sure it's a jpg or other common format).
3) Open iTunes, and select all the songs in an album that you wish to add the artwork to (should be highlighted in blue), right- or ctrl-click on the selection, and select "Get Info." You will probably get a "Do you want to do this?" window, so hit "okay."
4) You should see a section in the lower-right corner of the new window that says "Album Art" or similar. Double-click on that empty space, and navigate to the file you just saved on your hard drive.
5) Select the art, hit all of the okay buttons you need to, and let iTunes process it.
Voilà, you have album art.

One song off an album did not download correctly?

one song off an album did not download correctly?

If your country's iTunes Store allows you to redownload purchased tracks, I'd delete your current copy of the track and try redownloading a fresh one. See the following document for instructions:
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 item that is not playing properly. If you can't see "Report a Problem" next to the item, click the "Report a problem" button. Now click the "Report a Problem" link next to the item.

I purchased 2 albums on iTunes store 2 days ago. Now I discovered that albums are not downloaded

I purchased 2 albums on iTunes store 2 days ago. Now I discovered that albums are not downloaded. Money has been paid. What should I do to download songs I paid for ?

If using a computer's iTunes then try the Store > Check For Available Downloads menu option, or go to the Purchased link under Quick Links on the right-hand side of the iTunes store homepage and see if they show for downloading there. If using an iOS device check to see if they show in the Purchased tab in its iTunes store app for downloading

Bought an album off iTunes and two songs from the album will not download. Is there anyway to make them force load or anything along those lines?

Album artwork not showing after download

I loaded CDs onto my ipad using my home computer. On the Ipad, the album artwork aren't there. The only one that shows up is an album I purchased from amazon.com. What am I doing wrong?

Probably nothing. This is a known issue with the music app that will hopefully be addressed in iOS 6. Actually, some of the artwork may show up on your next synch.
