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.

Photo album does not appear on the web but does in a published folder

**** everyone,
My problem is the following: I started to create little webpage with iweb. At the moment it just consist of a photo gallery, one blog entry and one video. To test it I published itto a folder on my hardisk and the website worked perfectly. So I uploaded it to my server (I have no .mac account). When opening the site over the internet the start page looks perfect, as well as the video page but on the album page the album doeas not appear!!!
The URL is: www.voyage64.com just click on "Photoalben" (it´s a german page) and there is just nothing, There should be an album which also appears in the page published to a folder on my harddrive.
Another thing that does not work is the blog. When you enter "blog" you will see the list with one entry listed, that works fine on the web but if you click on that entry it tells you that the file was not found on the server but it is there, this also works on the published folder on my hardrive. The confusing thing is: I´ve another website on my server with a blog with more entries that just works fine.
Maybe it´s something with the RSS because I tested other stuff and whenever the RSS logo is visible in the adressfield in the browser something does not work. I actually don´t need any of that RSS stuff but there is no way to disable that.
Maybe it´s a fault with my server but I´m not a specialist in stuff like that.
So thanks in advance for your replies,
kind regards,
David

I followed the topic concerning the Firefox photoalbum problem but I´m using Safari and the albums will not show up on the web !!!!

www.voyage64.com
just cklick on "photoalben" no album apears. Does anyone have the same problem with safari ???

Album artwork not appearing on Apple TV

Album artwork not appearing on Apple TV anyone with same problem or fix

Bilk you're not alone! No Album Art work will load on my Apple TV now, despite having artwork for ALL my albums, my iOS devices display the the artwork (iTunes Match) I live in the UK. (Virgin Media customer) I've had nothing but problems since the last 2 OS updates, I have 3rd and 2nd gen Apple TVs, both now have the same problems, I have done full restore on both devices, still doesn't work. I hope Apple fixes the software soon.

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?

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.

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...)

4 of the songs on a recently purchased album do not appear on my computer. I bought the album on my phone, and all of the songs are accounted for there, but on my computer it shows as an incomplete album and ITunes wants me to buy the missing songs?

I recently purchased Slipknot's ".5: The Gray Chapter" on my phone via an ITunes gift card worth $15 dollars. The album did have some trouble downloading because of a bad signal, and a good number of songs "could not be downloaded at this time". To download the missing songs, I had to go into ITunes store>more>purchased>music>all songs and click download on the few that didn't. This fixed that problem, and now the entire album is on my phone, but when the album transferred over to my computer, 4 of the songs still did not appear. Not only that, it says that they have not been purchased. The ITunes card I used only has a dollor left on it, so I know it registered the purchase. The 10th, 14th, 15th, and 16th tracks still have $1.29 next to them, and ITunes is showing the album as an incomplete.

We are having this same issue. We have over 200 songs that are now missing and only our most recent ones show up in our ITunes library. Fortunately we have one phone that still has all of our music still in tact. This phone is no longer one I will be using as I upgraded to the Iphone 6, and only the most recent purchased songs remain. The rest are no where to be found and the iTunes store shows that I would need to re-purchase. Not sure what to do as when I tried to sync my last phone, all the songs were gone.

Album Art Not Appearing in Album View

I have just upgraded to iTunes 10. I have all of my music attached to album artwork. The artwork shows up in Cover Flow, but does not appear in Alum View. I don't know if that is because in some cases I only have one song from an album instead of all of it, or not. I do not know how iTunes is determining valid artwork.
Any help you be appreciated.

The "why" seems to be that that somebody thought that in the old layout albums with only one or two tracks were consuming too much screen area because of the way that artwork followed by album, artist and rating could create large unused areas where details would go. I can't say I've noticed anyone actually complain on these boards about it as a problem but there you are. Personally I find the solution worse, particularly at home where I have a small screen, as the new layout uses much more space horizontally. I also miss the vertical grid lines and user selectable artwork size. All in all an uneccesary attempt to fix something that wasn't broken.

Photo albums do not appear

Hi everybody,
I have looked around the forum for this issue, and I didn´t get to find it so any help would be appreciated.
I upload my website to a non .mac account, and everything is ok, except for the IE users that can´t get to see it properly, the thing is that everything is ok except for the albums, the page appears with its design but the albums that link to my pictures do not appear, so it is empty.
Anyone has had this problem? , how did you solve it?, is it bc I am not usin a .Mac account and this feauture is only for .Mac accounts?
Thanks in advance.

Hi Rachael,
I have no ideas sorry... I hope someone else does...
I had serious problems (not just me, everybody else too) with Firefox version 2.0.0.10 but that issue was solved in the release of Firefox 2.0.0.11 only two days after the release of .10
Do you see them in Safari? Did you upload everything? (if on .Mac a 'publish all' instead of just 'publish' might help, uploading through an ftp be sure to publish everything, if not working when publishing to folder opening the files in the folder I don't know sorry)
Regards,
Cédric

Cover Flow Album Art Not Appearing

Hi!
I have a large Itunes library and before the 7.3.1 update all of my album art was appearing correctly in both the "Now Playing" box and in cover flow. Since I have installed the 7.3.1 version of iTunes, alot of album art is appearing in the "Now Playing" box but NOT in cover flow. This is only for a select few (40+ albums), and the rest are fine
Can any help me out this with this?
Thanks!

They are all still there!
7.3 is broken.
I replaced it with 7.2 and all is well until they fix the problem. This list is full of this problem!

Album art not appearing...

Hi all very new to this, but looks like people are getting some good help here. I was approved by iTunes a few days ago. I am using hipcast for hosting and feedburner for tracking. I think I have done everything correct so far. I have been reading around that sometimes it takes a while for album art to propagate across the apple servers. I wanted to have you guys take a look at my feed and see if that was probably the problem, or if I goofed something up.
heres the feed

Please when you have a query post the URL of your feed, not its contents. For the record, your feed is at
http://loserslunch.hipcast.com/rss/loserslunch.xml
This is the feed which iTunes is using. The Feedburner feed is irrelevant since it has not been submitted to iTunes. If you want to use the Feedburner feed you will have to follow the steps detailed here to point iTunes to it instead of the current one.
The 'podcast image' is correctly referenced in the feed: it can sometimes take several days before it appears in the Store, and even longer before it appears in the Search results. Give it a few more days and it should appear.
However the image referenced in the feed does not appear for subscribers: if you want subscribers to see an image you have to embed it in the actual media file. Please see this page for a detailed explanation.

Album artwork not appearing on all album tracks

Hi,
I have a problem with my iPod 5th Gen 60GB. Not all the songs have cover art, although the cover art is visible in all songs in iTunes. The pattern seems to be that the first couple of tracks of an album show cover art when played/selected, but the remaining tracks have missing cover art.
Some background info. The problem started after I upgraded from Tiger (OS X 10.4) to Leopard (OS X 10.5). I didn't do an actual upgrade, but a clean install. After Leopard was installed I restored my iTunes Library and everything looked and worked fine. After I synced my iPod I soon discovered the problem of the missing artwork.
Based on suggestions on this forum I have tried several things to try and remedy the problem, but have not been succesful yet. Things I have tried:
1. Unchecked the option in iTunes for including cover art on your iPod. Synced. Rechecked the option and synced again.
2. Performed a factory reset of my iPod. Synced so that my complete library was placed on my iPod again.
3. Deleted the Album Artwork cache directory.
4. Configured iTunes so that the currently selected song's cover art was displayed in the little preview window at bottom left. Cycled through all the songs in my library, hoping this would do some black magic voodoo stuff with my library or cache.
The only thing I haven't done yet is to completely delete my current library and create a new one and import all the songs again. Needless to say, this is my last resort, because it's going to take a lot of time (my library location is actually on a Samba share) and it means I will lose all my song ratings.
Does anyone have any other suggestions? Thanks in advance.
Edit: I'm using iTunes 8.1.1

Note: You do not need to buy a song from the iTunes Store to use the online downloadable artwork for that song. You probably know that, but just in case...
If you have manually added artwork to songs, I believe it overrides any downloaded artwork. So as a test, you should select an album (one where the artwork does not appear on the iPod). Select the songs, right click, and +Get Album Artwork+. First, see if your manually added artwork still appears in iTunes. If you get the downloaded artwork showing up instead in iTunes, you can just give the +Clear Downloaded Artwork+ command; your embedded artwork is still there and should show up. I remember trying this to see what happens, and the manually added art had priority in iTunes (but that was a while ago).
If iTunes still uses your manually added artwork, try syncing to the iPod now. See if the downloaded artwork appears. If it does, at least you have album art. iTunes converts album art into a database format that is optimize in size and resolution, to take up the least amount of space possible on the iPod. Maybe there is something about the artwork, for the ones currently missing on the iPod, that prevents the conversion for some reason (too high resolution?). In that case, redoing everything probably will not help, if you are using the same artwork images.
Another thing you can try is to pick a song that does not have artwork on the iPod (but should). In iTunes, right click on the song. Select +Get Info+. In the Info window, go to the Artwork tab. Click on the artwork image and Delete to remove the artwork. iTunes should no longer show artwork for that song.
Sync the iPod.
Do a +Get Info+ on that song again, and go to the Artwork tab. Drag the artwork image you want to use as the album artwork from a Finder window, or from a web browser window, and drop it onto the artwork area in that iTunes song Info window to add it.
Sync the iPod again. See if this re-added artwork now appears on the iPod.
If that works, you can manually delete and re-add the artwork for the songs that do not have artwork on the iPod. Unfortunately, you cannot do the delete part for multiple songs at the same time (as far as I know). You must sync the iPod when there is no artwork in iTunes for the songs in question; you can do several songs before syncing. And you can re-add (at the same time) for a set of songs that have the same artwork, by dragging the artwork to the bottom right corner display on the iTunes window (instead of the the +Get Info+ window for a single song).

I just want to organize my photos to albums and not appear anywhere else. Photos appear in Photos and no indication if they have been dealt with.

I want to load my photos onto my MacBook Pro, sort them into albums and not have them appear in other locations. If I go to Photos all of the photos in the computer seem to appear. I can't tell if they have been put in an Album or have been edited. Is there a simpler system that I can use.

iPhoto works similarly to iTunes. In iTunes, every track is in the Library and each playlist is a sub-set of the Library.
So, in iPhoto, every image is in the Library and each Album is a subset of the Library. So, your photos will always be visible in the Library and in any album you use them in. That - of course - means that any image can ne used in a multitude of albums, and use no extra disk space. So that shot of your son, daughter and their puppy can be in the Son album, Daughter album, Puppy Album and even a favourites album.
Photos and Events are simply two views of the Library - two doors to the same room as it were.
It's easy to find photos not in an Album - with a Smart Album:
File -> New Smart Album
Album -> is not -> any
and another will find Photos not editoed:
File -> New Smart Album
Photo -> is -> Edited.
As you edit a photo, or add it to an album, they will be dropped from the Smart Album.

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.
