ANYONE HELP?????? Cover Flow not showing my artwork

I have the following problem but only with certain artwork, not all, I added images to all my files before and hardly ever did I get this problem(Cover Flow not showing my artwork), I usually added the same image or another image to make the cover flow "react", so to speak; the funny thing with my problem is that the files in question still have the artwork I put before in the Get info thingy, they appear whenever I see the info tab of the files, and when they're playing, the image shows at the bottom of the playlists list(above the repeat button and that), but the artwork doesn't show in the cover flow (-- =S ???--), no notifications show up about what's happening, and the image file I added is just a regular .JPEG from an album. In fact right now it's playing and the cover flow is still not showing the artwork, luckily this doesn't affect my iPod config and it shows there, but still it seems weird.
Now does this mean the iTunes is having some sort of behavior issues or it just fancies playing with me? =S

*Why is artwork not showing on my iPod when it's there in iTunes?*
iTunes will display a cover in many of it's views provided at least one track from the album has embedded artwork. The iPod appears to load only the artwork from track one to create the cover flow and album views which means that it can sometimes fail to display art for albums even when you can see the art in iTunes. Further, when tracks are played on the iPod, artwork is displayed if and only if it exists in the currently playing track, so track one may show art while track two does not.
*How to find tracks without artwork*
To find all the tracks without artwork so that you can update them you can try http://www.stum.de/itunes-find-tracks-without-artwork/ for Windows or http://dougscripts.com/itunes/scripts/ss.php?sp=trackswithoutartwork for Macs. Use Google, Amazon, Discogs etc. to locate relevant images. Ideally these should be square, 320x320 pixels or above and borderless to give the best results in the various menus. If you have artwork for some tracks of an album, but not others, find the album in the main music folder, select a track with artwork, right-click (Option-Click for Macs) on the art & click copy, then select all the tracks of the album, use CTRL-I or Command-I to *Get Info* and then paste the image into the artwork box.
I say 320x320 because I believe (from using TouchCopy) that it's the size used in the iPod cache so if you're going to crop or resize you might as well work to that size. Otherwise 200x200 is probably good enough.
*Rebuild artwork cache*
Sometimes the artwork cache becomes corrupt and fails to show correct artwork, even when this is properly set up in iTunes. To rebuild the artwork cache, connect your iPod to iTunes. Locate the iPod in the Sources pane on the left-hand side, then select the Music tab. Remove the tick from *Display album artwork on your iPod*, sync the iPod, reselect the option & sync again.

  • Album artwork/cover flow not showing up?

    I added my own artwork to some of my songs but they are not showing up in cover flow or when I'm playing the songs. Even the songs I didn't add my own artwork to (the iTunes ones), they don't show up either. Help? =P

    On iTunes for me, the artwork shows up but not on my iPod. Im not sure why that is...

  • Nano won't play songs anymore - cover flow shuffle shows no artwork

    All of a sudden, my ipod nano 3g will no longer play songs via cover flow. The artwork is gone even though it is there in iTunes on my computer. If I click an album to play it, it briefly selects that album (with the missing artwork still) as if it is going to play it, but then it just goes back to the cover flow shuffle and never plays anything. I just had iTunes erase everything on it and resync, but that made no difference.
    I tried playing songs through the play list instead of the cover flow and still it just acts like it is going to play the song and then gives up and returns to the previous menu. So basically, I cannot play any songs on this nano, which is only a few months old. Help!? Thanks!
    Message was edited by: lowcountrybird

    Ok, I've fixed it. I read a few other posts about resetting it. I held the Select and Menu buttons down at the same time (this works better if you place the nano on a flat surface first) for several seconds. Then the Apple logo appears while the nano is being reset. After that, cover art work appears and more importantly the songs play. Whew. That was scary.

    Hi. I am having an issue with music on my IPod. It would probably be easier to explain my specific issue: I have songs by Band of Horses from Cease to Begin. When viewing my albums through cover flow, it shows Cease To Begin as two separate albums, one with only Islands on the Coast, and the other having Islands on the Coast with 3 other songs. If I delete the album with only one song from my IPod, it deletes the song from the other "album" as well. If I go to "All Songs" by Band of Horses, it only shows one Islands on the Coast, so it is not a duplicate issue. Also, in Itunes, it only shows one album. I just recently updated to iOS5 on my 4th Gen IPod Touch, if that helps.

  • Cover art not showing..

    So, I didn't think this would bother me this much, but it has. Cover art for songs aren't showing up when listening to the song, but when I go to the full list of songs, it shows up at the bottom. This just started happening a few days ago. I even uninstalled the app, then reinstalled it and synced all my songs again, but the problem is still occurring. Any help is greatly appreciated.

    i just tested this pretty thoroughly... iphone 5s, ios 8.1, spotify app1.9.0.2744 - no matter what I do, or where I mark a song for offline use, if I play the song after (offline or online), the album art does not show up in the expanded view of the song playing.  It does show up on the small view as you are looking at the queue or other places where there is small album art.  
    I marked songs for offline use from songs, albums and artist - no album art.  I deleted the app, reloaded, signed in and then marked a playlist... didn't matter - very consistently does not show album artwork if a song is marked for offline use.  As soon as I take the song off offline use, restart the app then play the song online, the artwork is there.
    very annoying.  I posted in another thread, apparently this issue isn't new, apparently has popped up again?

  • Bug:  My Finder folder has 4 items but Cover Flow is showing 5.

    My Finder folder has 4 items but Cover Flow is showing 5.
    I can even click on the erroneous item in cover flow, but it doesn't atually exist.
    Mavericks, everything is updated.
    Sure, rebooting or restarting Finder might fix it, but this yet another bug with Finder I have found.

    Hello,
    Can you count the beeps or flashes?
    1 beep = no RAM installed
    2 beeps = incompatible RAM types
    3 beeps = no good banks
    4 beeps = no good boot images in the boot ROM (and/or bad sys config block)
    5 beeps = processor is not usable
    In addition to the beeps, on some computers the power LED will flash a corresponding number of times plus one. The LED will repeat the sequence after approximately a 5-second pause. The tones are only played once.
    Note: In this case, a flash is considered to be 1/4 second or 250 ms or greater in length.
    Did you get any of the Install Discs with the Macs?
    On the one with no Utilities, might try reapplying the big combo update...

    First you have very little ram and there does not seem to be a qualifying video card. This must be a very old PC.
    We could be sure if you can copy and paste the contents from File > System Info... into your next post.
    Your graphics has to meet these standards:
    1024 x 768 display (1280 x 800 recommended) with qualified hardware-accelerated OpenGL graphics adapter, 16-bit color, and 256 MB of VRAM
    Some GPU-accelerated features require graphics support for Shader Model 3.0 and OpenGL 2.0

  • Artwork in Cover flow not matching artwork in tab?

    Ok, example - I’ve got 5 tunes from the same artist. All have different artwork that is displayed correctly in the artwork tab but in cover flow it just uses the same cover for all 4 tracks. Is there anything I can do about it so that cover flow displays artwork correctly?
    I’ve tried removing the artwork but it just removes the artork from the tab and leaves an image in cover flow.
    So removed the track from iTunes - put it back in and added the correct artwork and cover flow still puts in the same artwork!?

    I’ve sorted it. I clicked on the info tab and it shows each of the tracks as being part of a compliation - I just un-ticked the box and the artowrk now displays correctly

  • Cover flow albums show songs from multiple albums

    I love my iPod classic. the only issue I'm having is that when reviewing some albums via the coverflow feature, about 5 albums shows songs from multiple albums. they play correctly. It appears just the listing is messed up. I've tried deleting, adding the albums back to the library and resyncing, but it's still happening. Anybody seen this?

    Try *One cover, too many tracks* below:
    *HowTo: Grouping Tracks Into Albums*
    Excuse the long post, but hopefully covering all the bases (that I can think of) will help you fix the other issues you are likely to run into as you try to organise your iTunes library.
    *Use an album friendly view*
    iTunes will let you sort music on many columns, some of which are unlikely to group albums together or put the tracks in their normal order. The most useful order for editing the library is probably *Album by Artist*. If you're not already there, select the list view and click on the column heading for Artist until it reads Album by Artist.
    *One cover, too many tracks*
    The iPod (and iTunes to a lesser extent) conflates two or more albums with the same title, most obviously with *Greatest Hits*. On the iPod this can result in one album acting as a combination of two or more. Selecting any cover gives all the tracks of all albums with the same title. The workaround for this "Greatest Hits" bug is to give each album a unique title - I tend to go for *Album - Album Artist* as this reads clearly in the iTunes browser. Alternatively you could use the wording as it appears on the cover or append different numbers of spaces for each different album. Somewhat oddly, setting different values for Sort Album doesn't work.
    *Missing Artist or Album not with others by same artist*
    iTunes relies on the Gracenote CDDB database when identifying CD's. This often marks collections or anthologies of an artist's work as a compilation. In iTunes, however, the compilation flag has the logical function of grouping together tracks with the same album name, but different artists on each track, e.g. "Now That's What I Call Metal 666!". These compilations are then all grouped together at the end of cover flow. Most of us however, would expect "Greatest Hits" albums to be listed with the other albums by the same album artist. For albums which are essentially by a single album artist or group it is best to set the appropriate value for the album artist and clear the compilation flag.
    *One album, too many covers*
    For true compilations, where each track is by a different artist, the answer is to set the compilation flag to true and enable the iTunes preference to *Group compilations when browsing*. If the album is not a compilation however, any tracks which list guest artists may be treated as separate items. Filling in the Album Artist field is enough to link things in iTunes. Sadly, however, the iPod ignores the Album Artist field when grouping albums so this is only a partial solution. You can simply mark the entire album as a compilation which seems to be the way iTMS handles it, however that's not an ideal fix. Short of waiting for Apple to address this issue (and as far as I can tell it goes back to the 1st gen. of iPods) we need a workaround. What I do is to put any additional artist info. in square brackets after the song name. E.g. *Track \[Feat. Guest\]* and then set *Artist=Album Artist* for each track. For anthologies where the Album Artist is credited as part of another group, e.g. for Cream tracks on an Eric Clapton anthology, I use *Track \[As Group\]*. For a track where the main Album Artist doesn't receive a credit, e.g. the first track of the Slim Shady LP credited to Jeff Bass, I just set the track name to *Track \[Guest\]* while still setting the artist to the album artist. N.b. I use square brackets to indicate that this is information about the track as distinct from the song title and also use this style for Mix/Live/Bonus info.
    *One album, still too many covers*
    iTunes may split albums into two or more sections if some tracks from the album have different values for Artist, Album Artist, Album, No. of Discs or Part of a Compilation. Tiny differences such as trailing spaces, accented characters or variants of symbols can sometimes be quite hard to spot. The iPod is also more sensitive to case variations and may split or reorder an album that looks okay in iTunes. Normally overtyping the desired value for each shared field will complete the grouping of the album into one entity. Occasionally, however, this method seems to fail. When this happens I've found that you can force every field to update properly by adding some extra text - e.g. a trailing X, which once applied seems to complete the joining of the tracks into one album. Once this has happened the extra data can be removed and the album should remain properly grouped.
    *Tried that, there are STILL too many covers!*
    The Sort Artist, Sort Album & Sort Album Artist fields can be used to override the normal sort order. For example iTunes automatically drops leading articles (a/an/the) so "The Beatles" are arranged under "B" instead of "T". Occasionally different tracks from the same album can have different values in these sort fields which can also break up the grouping. Making the sort columns visible in iTunes can help with spotting & correcting such problems.
    *One cover for multi-disc album*
    Multi-disc albums are often listed as *Album (CD1)* for CD 1, *Album (CD2)* for CD 2 etc. To display these properly using just one cover, each disc should have the correct *Disc X of Y* values set, and then the entire album should be given the single title Album. Being somewhat obsessive I also renumber the tracks sequentially, working backwards from the last track (so that no two tracks ever have the same number) until I reach disc 1. BTW You can still give the individual discs different artwork should it be relevant so that the correct artwork will be displayed as the album progresses.
    *One artist, many names*
    With some artists, particularly classical composers, you should be aware of alternative representations of their names. E.g. 2Pac vs. Tupac. The menus will work best if for each artist you standardise on just one form of their name. E.g. make a choice between Mozart, W.A. Mozart or Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, and then apply it consistently. For classical music I tend also to use the Composer as the Artist & Album Artist and either discard the performer details or place these into the Comments field.

  • After upgrading to Lion and iTunes 10.4, cover flow not displaying song playing. Why not?

    Since upgrading to Lion and iTunes 10.4, cover flow is not displaying the currently playing song. It will simply display the first cover in the playlist. Also, the screen saver starts during playback, unlike Snow Leopard. Any ideas on how to fix? I have already repaired disk and permissions but problem persists.

    Thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you!
    I tried restarting my mac and my iphone a bunch of times, reinstalling iTunes after deleting dozens of files, and it didn't help at all.
    I re-installed X-Code (had to use Activity Monitor to kill iTunes Helper in the middle of the install) and then my iPhone synced again!

  • Finder cover flow not playing .mp4 files

    Recently I found the option to play video files while in the cover flow view in a finder window (click on the right pointing arrow that appears when hovering over the thumbnail).
    This week when I try playing a video (.mp4 files), I can see that the video is playing but it is not displayed. I know it is playing because I can hear the sound track, can see the reflection of the video below where the display of the video should be and the progress circle works.

    This was fixed in the 10.6.4 update.

  • IPhone does not show album artwork for some songs!

    My iPhone recently stopped showing album artwork for newly added music....
    I tried to add the album artwork thousand time but no use...
    Restore didnt help as well...
    Any solutions?

    no, it shows only for some, the old ones...not the newly imported ones
    I select all the songs from the album, I drag the picture -from folder or safari- then i drop it in the artwork box...
    sometimes shows for the first song only, but always shows for the album little preview, and never for the rest of the songs...

  • Cover Art Not Displaying in Artwork Tab

    I am having a problem with the cover art as follows:
    1. I have added cover to each song be it a downloaded song from an album or a ripped song from a CD. I did this by (a) downloading/getting the album cover art (b) copying the cover art from the ARTWORK PANE (c)selecting all songs from an album (d) selecting GET INFO for all songs in the album (e) pasting the cover art into the "common" ARTWORK FIELD and seeing said artwork therein (f) pressing OK.
    2. I then went to confirm that the artwork had been added to each song and discovered the following:
    a) highlight/select song --> right click --> select GET INFO --> select ARTWORK tab --> no artwork appears regardless of the amount the "size slider" is moved.
    b) highlight/select song --> right click --> select GET INFO --> select ARTWORK tab --> right click --> select copy --> open Word for Windows --> right click --> select past --> cover art is displayed.
    In other words, the cover art is NOT being displayed within iTunes but appears to nonetheless be present because (a) it DOES appear in Word using copy/paste and (b) it does appear in the Artwork Pane when playing songs.
    So, the issue that I need hels with is whether anyone has an idea as to how to solve this issue.
