Album artwork turns solid black (for one album only)

I recently decided to get serious about adding missing artwork to my collection (most of it was ripped long ago, before such things were quite as turnkey).
By now, I've added artwork to dozens of albums with no problem, then I got to one where I add the artwork, hit OK, it flashes the artwork for a moment, then displays solid black (and no, it's not Spinal Tap's "Smell the Glove).  I've tried several versions of the artwork and the same thing always happens.  The weirdest thing is it's the *second* disc of a two disc set, and the first one works fine.
I've also tried changing it one track at a time, but the same thing happens.
Any advice would be appreciated.

I solved the problem, but it turned out to be even weirder.  While I was looking at the individual tracks, I discovered that all but one of them wouldn't play - and the one that *would* play also allowed me to set the artwork correctly.
Since I have Match, I deleted the local copies of the songs and redownloaded them from the cloud.  They now all play and I was able to set the album artwork.
What's strange is that I checked info and the ones I downloaded are my original ripped versions, NOT matched copies, so they were once good, and then they weren't.

  • HT1386 i have noticed that the album artwork on itunes in my phone is missing when you open the "album" section of itunes installed on my phone. how can i get my album artwork to show up in the album section

    i have noticed that the album artwork on itunes installed on my phone is missing some of the album artwork when i go to the "album" section of itunes in my phone. How can i get the album artwork to show up

    first of all, no one is going to respond to this becuase limewire is used basically in your situation illegally. But let's say you import a cd, left click on the songs you imported and hit get album artwork, if nothing comes up, the album sn't in the itunes database, get it online. And I suggest never to mention limewire and music files on the same post here, since limewire is a file sharing program. Use Itunes, it's easier. theo

  • How to import a album with multiple artists in the one album?

    How do I import a album with multiple artists as the one album.  Everytime I try to do this it does not collate it into one album, the other artists come up seperatley, also if this is possible can you set so that it works automatically everytime?
    Hope someone can help.
    Cheers,
    Fuzzi G.

    Generally all you need to do is fill in an appropriate Album Artist. For more details see my article on Grouping Tracks Into Albums, in particular the topic One album, too many covers.

    how to eliminate multiple album covers and consolidate back to one album cover

    Duplicate the tracks, then edit the properties of the duplicates. Or make a playlist, but then you don't get to add different artwork. You cannot make one physical audio file part of two different albums.

  • Graphs turn solid black

    I have a G5 iMac, and I just had my logic board replaced under a recall. Now when I try to view 3d charts in numbers, they turn solid black. I can resize them and they'll look fine while I'm dragging the box around, but when I drop it it turns black again. When I save the file, the icon shows the black graph as well. What gives? Should I take my mac back into the Apple store?

    Well, it turns out it seems to be OK after a reboot. I'll keep it for a little while to see if it happens again, especially since 10.5.2 will have Leopard video driver updates coming out shortly afterwards.

  • HT204019 Can I turn off the ringtone for one contact only?

    Is it possible to turn off the ringtone for one contact only? The block feature won't work because I still want to be able to receive voice messages from this particular contact.

    You can assign a silent ringtone to that one person. Google to find such a ringtone, sync it to the phone, assign the custom ringtone to this person and when they call, the phone will appear not to ring.

  • Value help does not work for ONE person only !

    Hi,
    we have a strange problem. In the Web IC, we are using a standard value help for the country field for a Business Partner. This works fine for everyone (ie, it picks up the country and slots it into the field) except one person. For her, it never returns any value into the country field. We are guessing that it's not Web IC related but is something in her browser settings etc...but haven't been able to pin it down. Can anyone offer any advice on this ?
    thanks for looking.
    Malcolm.

    Hello Malcolm,
    If this error occurs for one user only it's definitely related to the clients PC.
    Did you already delete all temporary files and the cookies on that PC? Usually this does the trick!
    If this does not solve the problem, try to let that particular user login on another PC where the problem does not occur. (If the error does occur on another PC too it's probably profile/authorization related)
    Hope this helps!
    Regards,
    Joost

  • I have an epson xp600 and a mac book pro. Wireless printing is OK if I'm lucky for one time only then a 'failed to connect' message so I have to delete and re add the printer to get it working again (but just once!) then the same occurs. Why?

    I have an epson xp600 and a mac book pro. Wireless printing is OK if I'm lucky for one time only then a 'failed to connect' message so I have to delete and re add the printer to get it working again (but just once!) then the same occurs. Why?

    I am not certain this will fix your problem but I suggest you assign the printer a static IP address.
    Using the printer's front panel, select Menu > Network > WLAN > TCP/IP > Boot method, and change it to "static". Provide a static IP address that is on your LAN's subnet.
    For example, if you are using an AirPort Extreme, you might give it an IP address of 10.0.1.100. If you are using a Netgear or Linksys router that defaults to issuing 192.168.x.x addresses, you might give it an address of 192.168.1.100. That way, the printer will always "reside at the same address" on your network. If your router has the ability, you should reserve that address so that the router does not attempt to assign it to another DHCP device.
    Then, go to System Preferences > Print & Scan, and delete your existing printer with the "–" (minus) button. Add it again, using the "+" (plus) button. In the window that appears, select the IP pane, and from the Protocol menu select "Line Printer Daemon (LPD)". In the Address field type the IP address you gave your printer.
    If all goes well the "Pring Using" field will detect the printer at that address and automatically select the appropriate driver. You will see something similar to the following screenshot ("name" can be whatever you decide, and "location" is optional):
    Click Add, then you can close System Preferences.
    There are other possible reasons your printer is "not responding" which could include wireless interference from competing wireless networks, but try this "static IP" method first. It should mitigate the problem.

  • Is it possibel to create one connection [pool for one report only

    Hi is it possibe to create one connection pool for one report only. Others report are running from the another connection pool under same DB.
    Thanks,

    Hi,
    Why do u want seperate connectionpool for that single report?
    I dont think its possible.Direct database request will be good solution for this.Try importing those columns which are used to build that report into physical layer and create new subject area.Not sure weather its right way to do.

  • Can't Update Information for ONE album?

    I'm having a problem with iTunes. I can't update the information (album art, album name, album artist, etc.) for the album. Well, when I click "Get Info" for the album I can edit the information, but nothing changes. Further, I can't change the information whatsoever when I click "Get Info" for an individual song of that album. When I click "Get Info" for an individual song of that album, I can't even EDIT the information. However, if I click "Get Info" for the album, I can edit the information, but nothing changes when I click "OK".
    Just to be sure, I tried changing some information for other albums and songs from other albums, and everything works fine. It's just this one album that's giving me trouble. Any suggestions? I really appreciate the help!

    If your song is not of file type ACC, then use the iTunes > File > Create New Version > Create ACC version.
    Then you should be allowed to add Artwork to the ACC version.

  • Multiple entries for one album and tracks are diveded between entries

    After adding all my music into iTunes I have some albums listed multiple times with one or two tracks listed in each one. How can I get all the tracks for that album listed all together? Also is there any way to import album art from another program. Windows media player has all the album art and iTunes is missing about 40 percent of them?

    Well, I tried everything in that article and when all my albums are in cover flow view multiple albums covers show for that one album. When I type in the album name, it narrows down to 1 CD.
    As far as not being able to retrieve album artwork, I just do a google image search. After I have saved the pictures I go to the info for any song in that album and add it to artwork.

  • Album artwork is the same for every song

    Why is it that my BlackBerry 9720 doesn't display the correct Artwork for each music track?
    Example, I have an album with 17 mp3's, and each one has it's own Artwork embedded, but when it plays on my phone each track shows the same Artwork.
    If I play the tracks on my Desktop PC through WMP each track shows the different Artwork.
    Can anyone help please?

    If you want every songs to have different covers, don't put them on the same folder.
    It's supposed to do that because it's called an Album Art, Every song on that album will only have one Album Cover. 
    But I see what you're trying to do, you want individual songs to reflect individual cover.
