Apple TV album artwork stuck on one song

Played a iTunes song through home sharing on Apple TV. Now the Apple TV keeps displaying that song's album artwork when I play other songs from different artists. Can anyone help with a fix?

I have this same issue. It drives me crazy!

If the behavior continues, the next step would be to restore your Apple TV.

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?

Searching artwork for only one song at a time

When I use the "Get Artwork" feature in iTunes it searches my entire library for artwork that i'm missing (which i don't think it does a very good job at it anyway). this takes too long and just isn't what i want. Is there a way to have it only seach for album artwork for just one song.

Welcome to Apple Discussions
I don't believe iTunes will focus on one track when finding Cover Art.
However, I use the Album Art Widget, which will supply the cover art (if it's available on Amazon) for the track, or album currently playing.
Very easy to use.

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.

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

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.

The repeat setting can be found from the Nano's Now Playing screen. While playing a track, swipe to the left to bring up additional controls including the repeat and shuffle settings. See page 21 of your iPod's User Guide for more assistance on the repeat setting.

Are you sure you purchased the album and not an individual song. Look ijn your purchased section of itunes. You should be able to re download from there

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.

Ipod shuffle stuck on one song

my friends little girls ipod shuffle is stuck on one song. How do I fix it

I have the exact same problem. I have a brand new 4th generation iPod Shuffle. I subscribed to six podcasts in iTunes and then sync'd. The Shuffle will only play the first podcast. If I hit the "next" button, it doesn't do anything. If I let the podcast play to the end, it just restarts. If I resync, it will remove the podcast I've listened to and then only play the next podcast.
As far as I know, there is no "repeat" function on the 4th generation Shuffle. If there is, can you please provide the page number in the manual that explains how to shut it off?

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

Adding Artwork (More Than One Song At A Time)

I'm adding artwork to the songs that iTunes couldn't find automatically. Is there a way to add the artwork to more than one song at a time? It would be way easier if I could just add the artwork to an album all at once. I tried listing the songs in "Album List" order and dragging the .jpg into the blank artwork icon, but it didn't take.
Please tell me that there's a way to do this; it's a hassle having to add artwork one song at a time!
Thanks,
-Adam

At the Artwork box at lower left, click the text above the box so it shows "Selected Item".
Select all the songs for one album then drag the artwork to the artwork window or Copy/Paste it into the Artwork box.
