All the artwork in Album View in iTunes is fuzzy/blurry unless i repeatedly delete the cache.

I recently bought a new laptop and transferred all my itunes tracks onto the new one from an external. Everything is fine, but in album list all the thumbnails are fuzzy and blurry. They album covers show up sharp in every other view such as coverflow, preview pane and grid view as well as on the ipod, but are fuzzy in album view. Some one suggested deleting the artwork cache to allow iTunes to rebuild it.I deleted it and reopened iTunes and found that this worked perfectly and all my artwork became sharp again. But if I close iTunes and reopen it, all the artwork wgoes back to being fuzzy and  stays that way until I deleted the cache again. It only fixes it as long as I dont close out iTunes.  How can I make them sharp again permanently like on my old laptop? (All my artwork is manually added and does not come from iTunes)

Responding to your request here.
I can't say it's a problem I've noticed personally, though now you've made me look it does seem that the large thumbnail is slightly fuzzier than the same image in the artwork panel. I have the artwork panel as small as it goes (small screen) and it is still slightly larger than the image in the browser so that might be all there is to it.
Here's an example from my screen.
Perhaps iTunes is storing a thumbnail at say "medium" size which it then blows up to create the large image. Are you seeing a similar effect or is your "fuzzy" art much fuzzier? A screenshot would be helpful.

  • Why can't I view album artwork in column view in iTunes 11

    What happened to the view album artwork in column view for iTunes 11?
    It used to be in the previous versions.
    It's so hard to add new artwork to the music now.

    Sorry, but it's not there anymore as Apple has removed it

  • Album view in iTunes 11 unusable because singles showing as "Unknown Album"

    I have lots of "singles" in my collection (ie mp3s with nothing in the "album" field) as well as lots of albums.
    Because of this, the "albums" view in iTunes 11 is virtually unusable, as 80% of the music shows as "Unknown Album" and prevents me from just browsing genuine albums.
    Is there a ways to fix this so that the "albums" view only contains tracks that really are from albums?  Nothing I've tried (e.g. flagging them as "part of a compilation") seems to make a difference.
    thanks,

    Thanks - I have already done sonething similar with a number of smart-playlists myself, but this is a poor workaround and means the pre-built views in iTunes are useless.  It's also something else to think about every time I import a new song so that it doesn't get lost.
    Like lots of people, I've got loads of singles, mixes, radio shows and other music that is not groupable by album, and I find it ridiculous that iTunes hinders, rather than helps, to manage this..  Coupled with the appalling new search functionality this new version makes it harder than ever to navigate my music collection.

  • I have blurry artwork in Album View thumbnails.  Deleting the cache makes all the artwork sharp, but once iTunes is restarted, the artwork goes back to being fuzzy unless i delete cache again.

    I have blurry artwork in Album View thumbnails, but not in Grid View/Cover Flow.  Deleting the cache and forcing it to rebuild makes all the artwork sharp, but once iTunes is restarted, the artwork goes back to being fuzzy unless i delete cache again.

  • Cannot resize the albums in album view in Itunes 11.  For those of us with large libraries (160gb), this is extremely frustrating.  I want to make the artwork smaller.  This seems to be a serious oversight.

    I agree.
    It was very useful to reduce everything to small and quickly scan down looking for missing artwork.
    Particularly useful when I only connect to the machine with iTunes via screen sharing, so everything can be a bit slower to scroll through at times.
    In fact, itunes 11 when used purely as a server for Apple TV etc is a downgrade in usability IMO, as they've got rid of some of the useful views that helped me manage my library remotely.

  • Missing Album Artworks in Album view in Music iOS

    Apple updated Music App in iOS 6.
    New interface Design but a new bug appear some album artworks are missing when we go in the Album list view.
    But when you select an album, the artworks appear well and also appear in Cover Flow.
    The album artworks are missing in Album list view only.
    The problem seems to come from the option : Convert higher bite rate songs to xxx kbps AAC in iTunes
    I just tried with the bit rate 192 kbps : some album artworks are missing in the Album view list
    So if you want, you can test with the other bit rate and post if you have the some problem.
    I uncheked the option Convert higher bite rate songs to xxx kbps AAC in iTunes, I resent my music to my iOS device.
    Now all album artworks appear well in the Album list view.
    In hoping this can help anyone.

    Hey,
    You should definitely submit this bug as feedback to the iTunes team.

  • Is it possible to show play counts in Artists or Album view in iTunes 11?

    There are some beautiful new changes to iTunes 11, but also some things I really like have been taken away. One of them is being able to see my playcouts as I browse. Not just in the playlist or songs list view.
    Does anyone know if there is any way to show play counts in Artists or Album view in iTunes 11?

    typo... sorry
    I have 3 product codes that I want to report on - Mold, Repair, and Production.  For Mold and Repair, I want to print out only the top 1 job for each order.  For Production, I want to print all jobs.  I have GH1 to group by ProdCode.  GH2 groups by Orders.  Detail A section has a formula to suppress if ProdCode = Production.  Detail B suppresses if ProdCode is not Production.  I can get the suppresion to work but I don't know how to get the Top 1 to show when Detail A is shown.
    Obviously I'm new at Crystal Reports - about 3 weeks.
    Thanks for your help...

  • Can I bring back larger cover art in album view in iTunes 11

    In iTunes 10 there was a slider on the top right that allowed you to make the album art very big. Four or Five albums per row was the way I liked it and it worked very well for my living room media center setup.
    I absolutely hate the new maximum size of the album art in the "Albums" view of iTunes 11. It makes me want to reverse engineer it and add the setting back in.
    Any ideas on how to get this back, or Apple can we please have this option back?

  • HT203167 I was downloading an album off of iTunes and it did not download one of the songs for some reason what should I do?

    I was downloading an album off of iTunes and it did not download one of the songs for some reason what should I do?

    Does the Store > Check For Available Downloads menu option find it ? If not, then depending upon what country that you are in (music can't be re-downloaded in all countries), does it show under the Purchased link under Quicklinks on the right-hand side of the iTunes store home page on your computer's iTunes for downloading (if there is an complete download of the track listed in the Music part of your library then you will need to delete it from there before it will get the cloud symbol in Purchased for redownloading) ?
    If you can't download it via either of the above then try the 'report a problem' page to contact iTunes Support : http://reportaproblem.apple.com
    If the 'report a problem' link doesn't work then you can try contacting iTunes support via this page : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/- click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page, then Purchases, Billing & Redemption

  • Since upgrading to the newest ios 6.1.26 itunes isn't showing my app list on the left side of the screen, nor does it show all of self made movies, only the purchased ones. Anyone else experiencing a similar problem?

    Since upgrading to the newest ios 6.1.2 itunes isn't showing my app list on the left side of the screen, nor does it show all of my self made movies, only the purchased ones. Anyone else experiencing a similar problem? The iTunes store and most of the other features show up but other normal features seem to be missing too. I wish I hadn't upgraded. Anyone else having this problem???? 

    If you are talking about iTunes on your computer use the iTunes View menu item, "Show Sidebar".
    If not, I have no idea what you are describing.

  • Can one organize a playlist in the grid or artist view in iTunes 11?

    can one organize a playlist in the grid or artist view in iTunes 11, i.e visually? the playlist as just a list of songs/ artists is a hopeless & very frustrating way to orgaize a list of maybe 30 songs/ artists that i might have downloaded in one session. or do the boffins at mac have that kind of brain numbing memory capacity?

    hi, yes i use that, but what i'm asking is can i drag the songs into the order i want when i have grid or artist list. in artist list it just lists alphabetically, it does not list in playlist order. it seem s to me that only in 'list' view without images that i can drag songs around, which is useless.
    thanks

  • I can't find the "Complete My Album" button in iTunes.

    Hi I'm new to itunes and hope someone can help me.
    I was in the process of buying an album and a window poped up telling me I already have 2 of the songs on this album and this was making me eligible to buy the album at a reduced price. In order to check the songs I already had and to buy the album at a reduced price I had to click the "Complet My Album" tab or to continue and buy the album at full price, it said to click "buy album". When I clicked "Complet My Album" nothing happened.
    What am I supposed to do to buy the album at a reduced price?
    Where or when does the "Complete My Album" apear? I can't find it anywhere?
    By the way, both songs I have from that album where only bought yesterday and today. I just didn't know they were on this album.
    Thank you for your attention to my problem.

    The link should be in the upper-right of the iTunes Store window, under the Quick Links header, below Browse, Power Search, Account, et. al.

    How to reset your Apple ID password.
    Go to iforgot.apple.com and type in your Apple ID, then click 'Next'.
    Verify your date of birth, then click 'Next'.
    You'll be able to choose one of two methods to reset your password, either E-Mail Authentication or Answer Security Questions.
    If neither method works, then go to https://getsupport.apple.com
    (If you see a message that says 'There are no products registered to this Apple ID, simply click on 'See all products and services')
    Choose 'More Products & Services', then 'Apple ID'.
    A new page will open.
    Choose 'Other Apple ID Topics', then 'Lost or forgotten Apple ID password'.
    Click the blue 'Continue' button.

    Log in with your Apple ID and password. (If you have forgotten your Apple ID password, go to iforgot.apple.com first to reset your password with a password recovery email)
    Go to the Password & Security section on the left side, and click on the link underneath the security questions that says 'Forgot your answers? Send reset security info email to [email]'.  This will generate an automated e-mail that will allow you to reset your security questions.
    If that doesn't work, or  there is no rescue email link available, then click on 'Temporary Support PIN' that is in the bottom left side, and generate a 4-digit PIN for the Apple Account Security Advisor you will be contacting later.
