Album artwork went missing but song details were updated

need help to know what's the reason why a certain album artwork went missing when you have updated them before manually, via posting a jpg file and dragging them on to the artwork space.
what i noticed whenever this happens all the other details such as song number and disc# and even the songwriters have been updated.
also on the comment space displays something like this:
0000047A 00000026 00005D13 00001BBB 00051243 0004071F 000080CF 00007EE2 0002DA82 00009478
i am not sure what these codes are but it gets so annoying that you get to update the artwork everytime it goes missing.
on the preference tab i unchecked 'automatically download missing artwork' but still something like connecting to internet automaticaly updates it.
this happens to some albums only not all. i wonder if someone can explain and give solutions that it will not update any existing artowrk i have on itunes. thanks.

am i the only one who's only having this problem? why is anybody not helping? thanks to answering my question.

  • How do I get iTunes on the iPad to NEVER show album artwork when clicking a song?

    Hi Folks,
    How do I get iTunes on the iPad to NEVER show album artwork when clicking a song?
    I go in-and-out of the iPod app quite a lot (I use the iPad to help me while practicing music and I use multiple apps), so it's frustrating to have to constantly close the album artwork. 
    Apologies - I saw many threads about this but none that answered how to ALWAYS stop iTunes from jumping to artwork.  If I missed the correct thread, I would appreciate a link.
    Thank you.

    That's what I thought - Apple generally has clean interfaces, so if I can't find an option to do something, it probably doesn't exist.
    Thank you for a quick answer - and yes, I'll add this feedback.
    I also just dropped Google feedback to PUT THE HOME LINK BACK IN THEIR LOGO.
    What madness came over them to remove it??
    I heard their engineers had a battle over this decision as well.

  • How do i copy album artwork to all the songs in an album

    How do i copy album artwork to all the songs in an album as some of the songs do not have the artwork, as with the previous version of itunes you had to load artwork individually.
    I have tried the copy and paste option and that does not work
    Look forward to hearing from you

    "How do i copy album artwork to all the songs in an album as some of the songs do not have the artwork, as with the previous version of itunes you had to load artwork individually."
    That suggests some underlying issue, as iTunes has always (AFAIR) allowed artwork to be assigned with multiple tracks in a single action.  For an album, right-click on the album, select Get Info, select the Artwork tab.  You then have three options:
    If the artwork image exists as a file, click the Get Artwork button, browse to and select the file, then click Open.
    Drag and drop the image file from Windows Explorer to the Artwork tab (previous releases also allowed drag and drop from a web browser, this functionality is missing - either by design or as the result of a bug - in iTunes 12).
    If you've copied the artwork image to the clipboard, press Ctrl-V on the keyboard to paste in the image (prior to the 1st release of iTunes 12 this could also be done using right-click > Paste - hopefully this will be restored as a bug-fix in the next update)
    "I have tried the copy and paste option and that does not work."
    There are three possible causes for this:
    The format of your media files doesn't support embedded artwork - specifically, uncompressed audio in WAV format.  You'll need to convert to Apple Lossless (without loss of quality) or either MP3 or AAC (if you're OK with lossy media) before artwork images can be associated with your media.
    Windows' permissions are preventing your media files from being updated when iTunes attempts to embed the images (in a perfect world iTunes should report this as an error, but it actually does nothing).  To check this, find the folder that contains media of interest in Windows Explorer (by default this will be C:\Users\user_name\Music\iTunes\iTunes Media\Music\artist_name\album_name), right-click and select Properties, Security tab - check that your Windows user account has full control over the folder.
    The media files that you're trying to add artwork to may be set to read-only in Windows. Select the folder as before in Windows Explorer, right-click > Properties and make sure that the Read-only flag is cleared.

  • Album artwork flashes briefly between songs on ipad mini

    Has anyone else noticed that album artwork briefly flashes between songs on the ipad mini? It is very brief but it is there unlike the iPod on music playback.

    I'm having the same problem, except I dont have itunes match enabled.
    I synced my ipad and unchecked all my albums to remove them. Then I re-synced with the albums selected. They went back on WITH the artwork under 'artists' but then for some reason the next time I sync, some of the artwork under 'artists' is gone leaving only a music note for the cover.
    It also has nothing to do with the cloud backup as I have experienced this with both backing up to the cloud and to my mac.

  • Most of my album artwork is missing

    i have recently moved my itunes library from my family desktop to my laptop. i used my sister's ipod video as a harddrive for this, then reattached my ipod touch 2 the laptop, getting me my music again. but i have now discovered that some of the album artwork is missing from albums, particularly one's recently bought or burned. i have retrieved the album artwork from apple and it is showing on the laptop but not on the ipod. is there anyway i can get the album artwork back, as on an ipod touch the album artwork is a pretty big feature?

    To rectify the art on your touch do this:
    Try clicking "sync music" in iTunes to "off"
    then sync >>> all your music should disappear from the touch.
    Then click "sync music" to "on" and re-sync.
    it worked for me

  • Most of my album artwork is missing after updating to iOS 5

    I just updated my iPod Touch 4G to iOS 5 and now all my album artwork is missing. What should I do?
    Is there a way to get back the album art in my iPod?
    Can Apple fix this problem?

    Have a similar situation; album art was all there (added the correct way in iTunes) and I Manually Sync my 4G Touch. After the iOS5 update, I ‘Dragged & Dropped’ one Smart-Playlist to the Touch and then lost 80% of the Album Art on the Touch. What really is upsetting, the Art is there. Dock the iPod and iTunes show’s the Art listed and within ‘Get Info’ for the iPod.
    This need to STOP, more then 10 years of using iPod without this problem and in the last two months had to reload 3-times already since getting the 4G Touch; great loss of time with a 64G. Add a Warning! or something. Maybe it’s an issue with iTunes 10.5.0.142, OS-Win-7?
    UPDATE: for this scenario, I think the Art got corrupted by older Art listed in iTunes. When I fixed the 1st occurrence of missing Art, I only fixed what was on the iPod to save time (only 30% bad) and then when I ‘Sync’ed’ a Playlist from iTunes, 80%  of Art then got corrupted. There are trade-off’s to both Auto and Manual Syncing. Like I said; “a Warning! would be nice” OR how about “Asking”; “Do You Wish To Overwrite The Existing Art?”

  • How do I get the ipod nano 7th generation to only show the album artwork? the volume control, info bar and album artwork shows whenever a song is playing.

    How do I get the ipod nano 7th generation to only show the album artwork? the volume control, info bar and album artwork shows whenever a song is playing.

    Hi TheGuru146,
    It sounds like the iPod isn't restoring correctly. Try putting the it into Disk Mode manually and then restoring the iPod again as described in the article linked below.
    Putting iPod into Disk Mode
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1363
    iPod nano (7th generation)
    Before placing the iPod into Disk Mode, verify that it has a charge.
    Reset the device by pressing the Sleep and Home buttons simultaneously until the display shows the Apple logo. This should take about eight seconds.
    When the Apple logo appears, press and hold the Volume Down and Volume Up buttons simultaneously until the device enters Disk Mode.

  • Lost album artwork on iPad after 3.2.1 update

    No album artwork anymore on my iPad after the update; I did a resync and it won't transfer over from itunes on my mac. Any solution? thanks

  • Can't Get Missing Album Artwork 7 Consolidating "orphaned" songs into one a

    Hi, I have two problems with artwork and managing albums:
    1. itunes does not find the artwork. The vast majority of the albums are by the most popular rock bands, but itunes can not find the artwork and says that it does not exist.
    Any ideas? Could it be an issue of formatting the songs? I recently transferred all of my songs over from and XP machine to a Vista machine.
    2. When I import CDs, itunes often splits or orphans a few songs as separate, so they show up as their own album. This seems to happen when the main artist is singing a duet, or when the CD is a compilation of many artists. Any ideas of how to "merge" them into one album?
    Thanks,
    D

    Hey there,
    Regarding your album artwork, you need to make sure the artist name and the album name are entered in your iTunes libary exactly as they appear in the iTunes store. iTunes compares your library to the store collection to find matches and download album art for you, but it doesn't read the information the same as you or I would. The characters have to match one for one, including no spaces at the end of the artist or album name. The easiest way to circumvent character mismatches is to highlight all of the tracks of an album (control clicks or shift clicks) and click File > Get Info. You can then enter this information once and it will apply to each track.
    Regarding the album splits, what you'd want to do is highlight all the tracks of the album and click File > Get Info. Enter the artist's name under both the Artist and the Album Artist fields, and enter the album name in the Album field.
    Hope this helps

  • Why is my album artwork suddenly missing?

    I appologize that this has been asked before but I am so confused as to why there don't seem to be any answers on here that reliably solve the problem. Is iphone technology really that complicated and mysterious? I feel like it's about to become self aware or something.
    Anyway, my album art on my iphone 4s seems to have suddenly gone missing. But not in a predictable way. It seemed like it started when I had to unplug my phone during a recent sync. I have been reimporting my albums and I was syncing the latest batch to the phone and underestimated how much time it would take. Or possibly it was hung up on one of the steps. Honestly I'm not totally sure. But I noticed the albums I had just recently modified still had art but a lot of the rest was gone. To clarify, however, at that time some of the album art was totally missing and some was only missing in the album view. When I clicked on the albums or played them the art would be there.
    I discovered that deleting the albums one (or several) at a time and resyncing seemed to bring them back but then my usb cable got bumped and the sync interrupted and it started all over. So I finally just manually deleted all the music and resynced. Which took about 22 hours. But not all of the art was back that time.
    I have since tried hard resetting, converting the id3 tags to that higher number that is suggested and resyncing, restoring to an earlier date before this started happening. To no avail.
    I have over 7000 songs all with meticulously picked out album art. Some is from itunes and the stuff that was wrong or didn't have any I got from the web. I realize it's a not so important problem but it's really not just about OCD. It's easier for me to pick out what I want to listen to when I see the artwork.
    Frankly, I wish the recently added and the purchased playist would arrange by album so I could look at the covers. But that's a separate issue.
    Anyway, currently I have maybe 10% of my art showing and what's not there is completely gone rather than just the thumbnail missing. Some of it is from albums I downloaded and some I found on google. And it seems everytime I do something new, different art is missing.
    It's just so bizarre and random.
    I would really like to figure out why this is happening. Is there no high upper big cheese who might know? I'm pretty certain the apple store would be of no help to me, as they have yet to solve a single technical problem I've come in with in the past.
    I've briefly considered itunes match due to the fact that my collection is now even larger in volume since I reimported the whole CD collection (I had a lot of corrupted, skipping songs) which were mostly in 128 from the original import long ago, and it no longer would all fit on the phone. I have been converting to the 192 bit rate to sync but I believe that is why it takes so long. When I synced some selected playlists without converting it took about 12 times less time than it would have if I had converted.
    Anyway I'm just a little put off by the thought of paying to listen to my own music (AGAIN - I already bought the phone for that privelege and the songs themselves) which I might not have access to at all times (subject to cell/wireless service), possibly having to download those songs to the phone before listening (???), and that my album art, from what I've read, would likely still not be correct. If anyone has any better information I'm interested to hear it.
    Or some ideas of how to maintain access to all my well organized music despite the size. I am keeping my fingers and toes crossed that one day apple santa will bring us a 128gb phone which will solve one of my problems at least. For now I'd just like the art back the way it was a couple weeks ago.

    Try unchecking "display album artwork" in the music preferences section when your iPod is connected and click "apply". Then sync your iPod.
    Then check "display album artwork" in the music preferences section when youd iPod is connected and click "apply". Then sync your iPod again.
    This should resync the album artwork to the iPod.
    If this does not work, you might need to restore the iPod and reload the songs in order to correct this error.

  • Where is the album artwork when you store songs in an external harddrive?

    I have all my songs on an external flash drive but I have the I-tunes program on the C drive of my windows laptop.
    In I-tunes I pointed the storage to the E drive and it all works fine.
    But there is one wrinkle. It looks as if some of the album artwork is still stored on the C drive and NOT in the I-tunes folder in the E drive.
    I know this becasue when I hit "add folder" and added the entire contents of my I-tunes folder on the E drive I:
    1 got all my songs - no problem
    2 encountered a delay as the program told me it was finding artwork for about a third of my songs.
    It looks like the E drive has artwork for all the albums to which I manually added artwork. But it does not have the artwork for songs where the artwork came from the advanced / get album artwork function.
    Weird eh? Any thoughts?

    Start > Run > diskmgmt.msc
    Right-click on drive H: and click Change Drive Letter and Paths...

  • 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.

  • Visualization of album artwork ever time a song plays is itunes

    I get this pop up on my desktop in the center of a screen with the album artwork popping up when a song plays (old or new songs) in itunes. It is there for 2 seconds as the song starts and goes away and i think it has to do with some visualization settings but can't figure out what it is. Can anyone tell me how to shut it off it is bothering me and i can't figure it out.
    Thanks in advance

    Yep. I know You Control Tunes does this. If you have this app, you should have rewind, play/pause & fast-forward buttons in your menu bar, to the right, near the clock and spotlight button. Click on the menu arrow to the right of these buttons, down at the bottom, there should be a "Controls" menu. Make sure "Show Overlay" is not checked. If it is, there's your problem.
    If you don't know what I'm talking about, it's not this program. But hey, worth a shot, right?

    Yeah, it clears it up for a little bit, maybe an album or two, if you restart.
    I found this and tried a restore as well, and that doesn't fix it at all.
    Any other ideas?
