Album Artwork problems on iTunes

Please, I need some help here. Here's what I'm trying to to if possible.
I have many music videos that belong to a certain album (ex. Loose/Nelly Furtado - Say It Right, Promiscous, Maneater) so I would like to assign a general ALBUM ART for all the videos belonging to this album but I would also like to assign different ALBUM ART for each song. Is that possible on iTunes?
I have had problems with iTunes 7.4.2 as well. I cannot delete ARTWORK so it becomes clear. I hit "GET INFO" and under "ALBUM ARTWORK" I manually delete it then the Coverflow goes blank for a second and the same artwork is back there. I tried to delete whatever is under the iTunes folder but the same thing happens. Any ideas or just a buggy iTunes version.
Another thing... Coverflow for videos??? Mine doesn't show anything and it doesn't work horizontally.
Any ideas and comments would be greatly appreciated.

I tried the unsuncing and re-yncing trick - did not work for me either.   The album artwork would change, but most of the titles were still wrong.     What I finally had to do was unsync artwork, overwrite old backup with a new one (with app organization, contacts etc, saved, but nothing else)
Then restore to the factory settings by clicking restore in itunes -
After iOS reinstalls from scratch, restore to the backup of your apps and contacts you did before the OS restore.
Then try syncing just your playlists to validate, this worked for me.   After that I uploaded the rest of my albums and everything is cool now.
As for why this happens in the first place, it's likely a corrupting of the music or artwork database of sorts.   Before doing any of the restoration, look in your music directory and clean up any titles of artists with unicode characters, or underscores before the names.
I had one album with Japanese characters, and a few others that Itunes prefaces with underscores to avoid duplicate album or artist names.    I suspect somethign like that may play a role in the problem.

The Control A key is not working. I cannot multi-select my songs. I'm not sure if it is the problem with iTunes 10.6.1.7 or my PC settings encounter issues. Also, i cannot find Album Artwork online using iTunes and i cannot select any view form but List.

ITunes 8: still the same album artwork problem

hi! it seems that this is still an open question. the problem is that after installing iTunes 7.7.1 some of my (manually added) album artworks dissapeared and cannot fix this because no matter how hard i try i cannot recover the artworks (the same way i did it initially). nothing happens after i try to copy the picture in the field reading 'Drag Album Artwork Here'. and iTunes 8 that i have downloaded and installed just a while ago cannot fix the problem either. any ideas what is going on?
thanks anyone who would read this and tries to help.

Okay, I think I've figured a way around this. At least it works for me. It's a bit convoluted, but it works and it's fairly simple. Here goes...
Select the aiff or aif files in itunes that you want to add album art to, right click and choose "create AIFF Version." This will create a new AIF file in the iTunes folder in your Music folder. Once that is done, this new AIF file will accept album art in iTunes. Just delete the old aiff/aif files and replace with the new aif file created by iTunes. I know it's a little more extra work than should be necessary, but it's a temporary fix until Apple hopefully fixes it without having to do these extra steps. Hope this helps!
Let me know if this works for anyone else.

Itunes album artwork problem on 11.4.0.18

Recently after the update to iTunes 11.4.0.18 I've noticed my album artwork not displaying correctly for some albums. They appear jumbled, but only the album thumbnail. I'm running Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit, with an AMD processor & 8GB of RAM.
If you right click on a song in an album that appears to have a jumbled thumbnail, and click on Get Info, the album artwork appears perfectly fine in the summary tab as well as the artwork tab. I've tried deleting the artwork then choosing get artwork for that particular album. In most cases this has worked, with a few giving a message that artwork could not be found. I've tried copying the artwork from the Get Info>Artwork tab, deleting it, then pasting it again and this also seems to take care of the problem when viewing the album thumbnail. It's just crazy having to do this for each and every album that is displaying a jumbled artwork thumbnail.
Anyone come across this in v11.4.0.18? Is there an easier way to fix this thumbnail problem than going through each and every album that seems messed up?

I can't see your image, but what may work is to delete the folder Album Artwork and then scroll through the entire library in Albums view.

ITunes 8.02 - Album Artwork Problem - white artwork

Hi. I was wondering if anyone had a solution to my problem. Ever since I downloaded itunes 8 (including updates) for practically all of my albums, the artwork appears blank white in the corner viewer and black in the grid viewer. I manually added most of my artwork awhile back and embedded .jpeg files into the .mp3/.m4a files. Now, when I scroll through an album, most songs have artwork that will appear white, or scrambled, and maybe one or two songs will properly display the artwork I added. I do not know how to fix this and would like to find a solution since I have spent way too long adding all of the artwork for it to just disappear.
So far, I have tried a solution I saw to delete and recreate my com.apple.iTunes.plist file as well as repairing my disk permissions in disk utility, both of which did not solve this problem. Most of my library is .m4a AAC files, and I have noticed downloading the artwork from the iTunes store seems to work, but often they do not have albums that I do, and the manual adding artwork method seems to only appear white now when I add it. If anyone can help me with this or offer suggestions, it would be greatly appreciated! Thanks.

ITunes Album Artwork Problem. Help?

I recently installed iTunes onto my new laptop, and the album artwork for all my songs comes out slightly discolored, in that it is a hue of pink. What's even stranger is that the album artwork seen on the bottom left corner shows the artwork in it's right colors. I've tried to calibrate the colors on my screen in my settings, but nothing seems to be working. Oh, and my new laptop is running on Windows 8. Help?
P.S. Don't mind my choice of music, I was helping my little sister put music on her iPhone :3

Here's the Apple article on that
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1815
The important line is "If the data matches, iTunes will download the album artwork".
What it doesn't say is, "if the Apple database is wrong, you'll get the wrong artwork".
Try getting the correct cover for +Led Zeppelin I+ - impossible. They had Mothership listed under Lead Zeppelin for a while.
I agree with the other comment; just get those 40 covers from somewhere else, rather than find out how it is listed in the Apple database.

ITunes Missing Album Artwork Problem

For all the albums that dont have album artwork, the artwork display is messed up, its blue-ish and has distorted parts of other albums in my library, instead of the normal gray, is there any way to fix this?

I have this same problem. I think it is a rendering issue because the problem disappears when I open fullscreen view for album artwork or use the visualizer.

Album artwork imports into iTunes, but artist tags do not

Hello,
After importing my music from an external hard drive backup, I have a problem with ~5% of my music. The songs are listed in iTunes as "Unknown Artist" and "Unknown Album". However, if I find the file within my iTunes folder, all of the artist information tags are listed if I use "Get Info" --> "More Info" in the Finder. Back in iTunes, the album artwork is there, but the tags are missing. These are for .m4a, Apple MPEG-4 audio files. How can I get iTunes to recognize the tags that are obviousy still present in the file?
There are too many songs like this to relabel the, realistically.
I have tried deleting the songs from my library and re-importing them into iTunes, but this does not fix the problem. I cannot find any logic as to which songs this affects.
Any ideas?
Thank you.

This same thing happened to me, so I plugged my iphone into the computer and I unchecked all the songs so it deleted from my phone and then i rechecked sync music back to the phone and all the album artwork were there.

NEW Album Artwork Problem and MORE!

Once I puchased a laptop, I attempted to copy the library on my main computer to the laptop. This worked fine. The problrms arose once I synced my Ipod to my new laptop. After I synced it, alot of the album artwork is not correctly positioned. What I mean by this: the artwork is with the correct songs, etc. but the actual artwork is all whackey. For example, instead of the artwork having the correct, individual sizes, they are in the same black box no matter what the size of the artwork, meaning artwork that is tall and wide is missing the top and bottom with black boxes on the sides.
That is the best I can explain that.
Another problem arose when I attempted to update my ipod. I got an error (-43) when I updated it on my laptop. After it failing over and over again, I just moved back my stuff from the laptop to the main computer to update it there. Now after I sync it to the main computer, the album artwork is still garbage and glitchy on my ipod. Moreover, I am still getting the error (-43) message.
*** itunes?
So now im thinking, "well, i'm going to have to save my library somewhere else and sync the ipod without a library." What makes me reluctant is if I move my library, which has the album artwork messed up, will it stay like that after the update considering the music is not being updated with it?
Well, this *****. I have no idea what to do. Why must iTunes have so many problems?

Well, It updated and synced fine. The album artwork sizes were fixed too!
But now the artwork looks add like the pixles are not set in properly....
Oh well.
Thanks to anyone who read this.

Album Artwork Lost with iTunes 9 – Solution Found

When upgrading to iTunes 9 I lost some, but not all, the album artwork for files I had made from vinyl at 24bits/48kHz. I have since recovered this lost artwork by converting the affected AIFF files to WAVE using Max 0.9.1 and then converting them back to AIFF – the artwork suddenly reappears! Previously if the affected files had been imported in to another iTunes library the metadata was lost – now it sticks.
If your having problems with with AIFF files then I suggest converting to WAVE and then back to AIFF.

I am having exactly the same problem with adding artwork, and I see from browsing the discussions that alot of other people are finding the same issue, but there are no answers! If no one knows what Apple have done to us, or how to get around it, could Apple moderators please let us know what is going on?

Album artwork problem

So I just got done importing Stadium Arcadium (RHCP) into iTunes (a CD from store, not a copy burnt somewhere else) and when I press cmd+I to edit the info, the lyrics & artwork tabs are inaccessible, meaning that if you press them nothing happens. This is a bit annoying, as I want to add album artwork, so I can see the covers when I'm listening in iTunes or on my iPhone. This is not a problem on any other album, just this one. Anyone know what's wrong? Thanks in advance.

Converting the songs to AAC did the trick.

Album Artwork Problems

All of my album artwork appears normal and complete in iTunes, but after updating much of it and re-syncing I have issues with how it displays on my iPod Touch (4th generation). Many of the songs display the artwork incorrectly and some albums don't display the artwork unless I jump through some hoops each time. Watch this video I made to see what I mean by that.
Any suggestions?

Ugh I have this problem too. When I put songs on my iPod (new or old) and try to add artwork, it doesn't let me on my iTunes and doesn't show up on my iPod. I am getting so irritated, how do I fix it? And also, when I go to my list of artists, it sometimes lists the same person twice. And not because they have a song featuring someone, it will just list the artist twice in a row. I have the newest version of iTunes and the newest software update on my iPod so I don't know what to do...

Album artwork problem--can anyone help?

I have a wierd thing happening with my album artwork. All of the artwork is correct in ITunes, and the artwork appears correct when I hold my Itouch lengthwise. However, when I hold my Itouch vertically (i.e. with the button at the bottom) the album art is messed up. For example, I have an U2 album that only displays the art correctly when I hold it side-to-side. Vertically, the album art is blank when I display the album, and when I play the songs I get a cut screen, top half of which is an old Christmas album I've deleted and the bottom of which is art for a television series that I purchased. What's the deal? Is there any way for me to get my album art displaying correctly?

I think I have found a solution. Although it is not 100% guarantee it will work, at least it helps keep my artwork stable.
For PC (I don't have a Mac), right click on the song(s) that causes you problem, convert ID3 tag to version 1.0 (back to basic, eh).
Then edit the tag (if necessary, and add artwork. If it is not fixed, repeat the process one more time.
The key is converting the ID3 tag to the most basic version.

Album artwork problems (-609)

Hey, when I try and 'Get Album Artwork', I get the error (-609). I'm trying to get artwork on Calvin Harris, RFTW album. Most other albums work, any suggestions?

Bump-I also have this problem. I have album artwork on almost all in Itunes on my PC, but most of my music in my MP3 player (Blackberry Curve) doesn't have art. I know in my case, i'm using the software installed on the Blackberry. If there is something better, please let me know. Thx
