Album covers not all appearing in Cover Flow

I have a new iPhone 5, (IOS 6.0.1) and I restored all of my apps from a backup of my iPhone 4 (IOS 6.0.1). I notice that my album covers do not all appear in Cover Flow mode. I checked my iPhone 4, before resetting it, and it had the same problem. I deleted the music from my iPhone 5 and restored all of the playlists from my MacPro and still have the problem. I cannot detect and differences between those that appear and those that do not appear. Any ideas?
And btw, I manually installed he Album Art on each Album, I did not use iTunes to search for Album Art.

Does this article help?

Album covers won't display in Cover Flow mode.

I've just recently re-installed my Windows XP, re-installed iTunes, and re-installed all my music again from my back-up discs. My iTunes is working fine ie plays the music, searches, displays iTunes store etc. However, when I click on the Cover View icon when playing an album it states, 'iTunes unable to browse album covers on this computer'. The album covers show up in the list/album view but not in cover view. It didn't do this before. Maybe it's something simple I've missed - any ideas?

I transferred my iPhoto FACES to my mini iPad and: (a) they are not in the alphabetical order I had them in, (b) some of the FACES have been deleted, (c) the EVENTS I checked off in iTunes do not all appear in the iPad?

Go to your Pictures Folder and find the iPhoto Library there.
Right (or Control-) Click on the icon and select 'Show Package Contents'. A Finder window will open with the Library exposed.
Look there for the iPod Photo Cache. Trash it. Start iPhoto and try sync again.

I just got an iphone 4 yesterday. I got everything all set up and working great. When I woke up last this morning, my ipod has no sound and the albums covers are all mixed up. I've checked all my settings and volume control. My text sound won't work either. However, my ringtone works just fine.

Have you taken the steps recommended in the User Guide: restart, reset, restore?

I bought an album and not all the songs came up listed under the artist name. They came up as separate songs and not as part of an album. How do I fix this?

Hello pjmelli921,
You have to locate the album in itunes. Highlight each track, hold the ctrl button and left click each one.
Do a right-click on the highlighted blue, select get info, say yes to editing multiple tracks.
Hit the options tab, change "part of a compliation" to yes, select ok on the bottom right.
Resync ipod. This should fix it on your ipod after the resync.
Hope this helps.

Album Covers Not Appearing

Some of the albums I have loaded on my iPhone are not displaying the cover art...they are black. Any ideas on how to resolve? Thanks.

did you have them before?
if so, a restore will bring them back or you can enter them manually if you want.
go on the internet to get the album covers that apple doesn't recognize for certain songs not bought on itunes. you will need to find the album covers in question(on the web) and save them on your hard drive.
Go into itunes, go to your music, select the song you want to add the album cover toand right click it, go to get info, from there you can select artwork and add it.

ITunes 7.3.2: ArtWork does not match Images on Cover Flow View and iPod

Hello everyone, this is my first post, thanks in advance for any and all help.
I have loaded most of my music collection onto iTunes, and authorized it to get album artwork. It has only found about 60% of my cover art (I have a lot of international discs, etc.), and of what it does find maybe 60% is correct. So I have spent a lot of time adding artwork by either scanning in cover art or cutting and pasting from the web. I go to "Get Info" and check the artwork tab all the time to make sure that only artwork that is correct or that I have added is attached to each of my song files.
However, I have noticed that there is a significant amount of my song files that, when I use cover flow view, or when I play the songs on my video iPod, the artwork that is on the artwork pane and what appears on the cover flow view don't match. Or the artwork that is in the artwork pane (and the only artwork in the get info artwork section) and what shows up on my iPod, don't match up. It is, for an OCD completist like me, rather annoying.
As an example, I have a lot of compilation albums. I have probably 13 different albums by different artists but which all have the same name of "The Ultimate Collection". There are some tracks for each album where the artwork pane and the cover flow view artwork match, but not all of the tracks.
I selected "group compilations when browsing", but that doesn't help. I selected all the tracks from the same album and clicked yes to whether it is a compilation, and that didn't work.
Does anyone have a simple, QUICK solution for making the artwork I have put in the artwork pane override or force itself on the cover flow view? Horrible phrasing I know, but thank you in advance for your help!

I had the same problem when I updated to 7.3, but I was able to fix it.
As far as I can tell, itunes 7.3 sees all music files (in your user/itunes/music folder) with the extension .mpg as quicktime movies, not mp3's and itunes won't let you add a cover to them. The problem is that songs imported as mp3's by previous versions of iTunes were all given the extension .mpg and not .mp3 (at least on my machine). I was able to fix the problem by simply changing the .mpg to .mp3 for all of my songs. As soon as I did this, the album artwork showed up again.
You have a few options for how you change the extension. You can right click on every file in your itunes library and select "Show In Finder" to change the file extension, or if you have many songs to fix (I had 793) you can download 'A Better Finder Rename' (search for it at www.versiontracker.com, it costs $20 to change more than 10 files at a time) which will make the changes automatically. If you are cheap you can always set up an automator work-flow to get the job done.
Hope this helps

Some album covers not showing (do I need to be online?)

Hi,
Just got my imac back after a recent repair and found some itunes oddness:
The OS booted and everything appeared to be ok. In the limited time I had today though, I noticed that my iTunes Library was gone. I just got the large dialog box as if I was starting from scratch. Slightly concerned, I delved into my libraries using Libra and switched to my Nano library. I started itunes again, same dialog box, but this time cos it's a much smaller library, I decided to click on agree. Sure enough the library appeared in itunes as normal. Hmmmm, how odd. I then switched to my bigger library and did the same. All hunky dory now (no not the bowie album, I mean all good now) except for the fact that album covers took ages to appear and some haven't appeared at all. The ones that are still blank are (If I remember correctly) the covers that I have downloaded from the itunes store. Are they not appearing cos I'm not connected to the internet? Or do I have a problem there?
One other thing I spotted was that my You Control itunes controller had not started. When I started it manually it asked me to register which I can not yet do without the internet access.
If anyone could advise me of the itunes issues that'd be great.
Cheers
Lee

It does not check as far as I know, but it is what is written in the license agreement and the activation will not allow more than 2 installs. The license indicates they are for the owner and the intent is to be run on only one machine at a time by the owner.

Problem with viewing 2 albums with the same name in Cover flow

Hi if I have 2 albums with the same name ("The Best of" for example) but of 2 different artists there's a big problem with all idevices like iPhone...
So when I go in iPod app and I want to watch all albums in cover flow when I choose one of these 2 albums I'll find all the songs of both albums merged...

The MouseListener you use would have to know about both JPanels and both their repaint-methods when mouseClicked-method is called.
Something like this:
public class Repainter extends MouseAdapter {
private JPanel panel1;
private JPanel panel2;
public Repainter( JPanel panel1, JPanel panel2 ) {
this.panel1 = panel1;
this.panel2 = panel2;
public void mouseClicked( MouseEvent me ) {
panel1.repaint();
panel2.repaint();
Tell me if I misunderstood the question or if you have any further qestions.

Safari - History bookmark not showing - cannot use cover flow

How can I get the Cover Flow to work in History. It did work but since the upgrade I can only get the History list not the Cover.

Ah... that'll be it then, they are 512 x 512. well i guess that bugs been hanging around for quite some time now, anyone got any ideas if anyone's trying to fix it? i guess making 128 x 128 icons wouldn't be the end of the world but it does seem like a step backwards.
one thing that still confuses me... an icon file contains icons of all sizes, why does cover flow not select the right size icon to display?
thanks for that info V.K., much obliged.
regards, Pablo.

Album Covers Not Transferring to iPad2

Clarifications: I have an iPad 2, and I am using Windows.
So I have my iPad 2 and computer fully synced, and all the purchases transferred, but for some reason, after going through and retrieving album artwork for my library, not all of them are transferring to my iPad.
I had the same issue with my iPhone 4, but with that I was able to just delete all the music on my phone, and then drag everything from my library to it, and it al synced up perfectly well.
But it won't let me delete songs from my iPad. At all.
So can anyone tell me 1) why can't I delete songs from my iPad, and 2) how do I get my album covers transferred?
Thank you.

I'm having the same issue. Once, I got the standard white music note icon for a album art that didn't transfer properly, and just now I got flat black.
I've attempted to apply the artwork directly to the iPhone itself, but this did not work, only to the artwork that was white. Any suggestions would be helpful. Also, knowing why this happens would be great.

Album Covers Not Stored in ID3?

It appears that album covers are downloaded into some funky apple/itms format (folder based in your itunes library dirs). Is that accurate? Could it be that the ID3 tags have been completely ignored, and the "Get Album Artwork" command doesn't make the artwork available to anything but iTunes?
That'd be most unfortunate.

It's most definitely not stored in the ID3 tag. If I download album art thru iTunes to an album and then look at any song in that album in another ID3 editing program (a la Rage Media) the artwork is missing. That makes the feature virtually unusable to me.
iTunes does read the artwork from the ID3 tag if it's there, however, so coverflow will work if you use a different program to grab artwork.
Also, the download album art feature is super picky, the genre seems to be the toughest to match since I don't use standard genres.
It's too bad, it would have made a very nice feature. I can see a single justification for not storing the album art in the ID3, but it's not compelling enough for me in these days of massive storage capabilities: They might have thought they'd save the disk space of adding 300k album art to every mp3 when they could reference a single instance of the image from each file. I'll have to pull apart the metadata to figure out how they're doing it (if it's even done in the file itself...)

I preordered an album but not all the songs are showing up. They say purchased but wont go into my itunes library or onto my iphone. Please help.

Hey there aussieboss123,
It sounds like you are wanting to download an album that you pre ordered, not all the songs are downloading. First, use this section of the following article to see if the tracks download:
Download a pre-ordered item
When a pre-ordered item becomes available, you will receive an email letting you know that you can download your pre-order.
If you enabled the option to automatically download prepurchased content in iTunes, then your pre-ordered content may already be in your library. If not, click the download link provided in your email notification, and your pre-ordered content will begin to download. You can also use the Check for Available Downloads feature in iTunes on your computer (choose Store > Check for Available Downloads) to begin downloading your pre-order.
iTunes Store: About pre-orders
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht5714
If it does not, I would use the following article to report a problem with the purchase to the iTunes Store support directly:
How to report an issue with your iTunes Store, App Store, Mac App Store, or iBooks Store purchase

Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
