Artwork Appears or Doesn't Appear?

I have two questions, somewhat similar:
1.I purchased CD's or downloaded purchased tracks from another source (other than iTunes). When importing into iTunes, the album artwork either automatically appears in iTunes & coverflow or doesn't appear. Is there an explanation why that occurs?
2. Also in some situations I've imported some tracks that had no or limited track info on them, i.e., the song title was labled "track 1". When importing some of these into iTunes, album artwork magically appeared that had no correlation to the song track that was imported. A Neil Diamond track was listed as, "Frequencies" by a group called LFO with artwork included, don't understand how that happened??

iTunes uses information about the tracks on a CD to find the artwork that should apply and tag information. If the information is not exactly like what it is looking for to compare the the retrieved artwork and/or track information can be wrong. If the CD you are importing matches more than one in the CDDB database it will ask you which one you want to use. Even then the information is not always correct.

  • HT1473 I am having to recreate my itunes library and do not understand why prior album artwork appeared in my older library but not the new library?  Is there some way to scan itunes for missing album artwork?

    do you have a strongly recommended default "managed" library (the iPhoto preference to "copy imported items to the iPhoto library is in its checked state) or a referenced library - you have unchecked that option?
    It sounds like you have a referenced library and are now experiancing one of the very siginificant drawbacks of a referenced library and one of the many reasons they are strongly not recommended
    Also note that iPhoto '11 may use alises in the originals folder as part of the upgrade
    It is important that we understand exactly what you have and what is not sorking - what error messages you are getting
    You must NEVER make any changes of any sort to the structure of content of the iPhoto library - there are no user servicable parts in it  --  and you can not rebuild yoru librtary - only iPhoto ir iPhoto Library Manager - http://www.fatcatsoftware.com/iplm/ -  can rebuild a library unless you are a SQL programmer and understand the structure that iPhoto uses

  • Why won't album artwork appear on I pod Classic?

    Why won't album artwork appear on I Pod Classic?

    I have had this problem since iOS4 and I recently (mostly) resolved it in iOS6.
    1. First make sure you do not 'Sign In' into iTunes store.
    2. I used playlists to resolve the issue. Create a playlist with one song, preferably one that does not have any album art.
    3. Create another playlist with all the songs you want to add.
    4. With your iTouch/iPhone attached open iTunes. Go to Device->Music. Under Sync Music:choose "Selected playlists,albums and genres". Choose the one song playlist from those shown. Click on the Sync(Apply) button. This will delete all of the songs.
    5. Once the deletion is complete choose the playlist with all the songs. Click on the Apply(Sync)button. This will install all the songs again and with album artwork.
    6. Once all the songs have been installed click on all the playlists that you want to add (no new songs) and click on the Sync(Apply) button again.
    You should now have your songs with album artwork and playlists installed. Hope this helps. The song in the one song playlist won't have any artwork even if it is included. There were some albums whose artwork were not installed. I had a 95% success rate. As I said, it mostly solves the problem for me.

  • Why does the album artwork appear only when the first song is playing only?

    Why does the album artwork appear only when the first song is playing only?

    Hello ckuan. Thx for your reply.
    The songs are not from iTunes, they are from CDs that I had copied to my itunes library.
    It is worth mentioning that I wasn't facing this issue before IOS 5.

  • Black Artwork Appearing.

    I'm kind of a freak when it comes to organizing my music and I have most of my album artwork on my iPod.
    I have a problem with some artworks that on my iTunes they appear as they should be, but when I start listening to my iPod, instead a black image just appears where the album artwork should be. This has happened to my 'So Wrong, Its Right' artwork and 'Konk', and others more. Is it my iPod, or this is just standard problem with all?

    *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.

  • Why are my fields not moving with my Dynamic stamp ? Only the artwork appears

    Why are my fields not moving with my Dynamic stamp ? Only the artwork appears

    Sounds like you're a candidate for Lightroom...based on the time you don't
    want to spend in Photoshop.
    Photoshop install media is likely created in large batches, perhaps in a
    foreign country, so it's understandable that you get Photoshop 11.0.0 is on
    the media.
    I don't know as I would use ProPhotoRGB as my working space in Photoshop.  I
    was merely suggesting that you look at your color settings to make sure
    things were the same on both machines.
    How do you know your actions are the same?  Did you copy the action
    recording from one computer to the other, or did you merely record the same
    steps on each one?  Have you compared the details of each action step in the
    Actions Palette to make sure they are the same?  The symptoms still sound
    like something different than sRGB being the output color-space, or the fact
    it isn't embedded on one or the other of the computers.
    How are you viewing the JPG when it looks the same or different than the
    RAW?  Are you looking at the side-by-side in Photoshop, or side-by-side in
    Bridge, or are you using a mixture of viewers, one Adobe, and one not?  And
    are you using the Canon Codec on Vista or not?  The Canon Codec would be
    showing the camera-preview in the RAW not the RAW adjustments that Adobe has
    done.
    While the OS shouldn't be causing a difference in how the action is run, a
    difference between OSes may make a difference in the processing to show up.
    The camera profile associated with a RAW file is visible in the
    third-from-right tab in ACR over at the right.  The one with the little
    DSLR-camera icon on the tab.
    Can you attach the two JPGs on a reply, here, or if not, upload a ZIP of the
    two JPGs and the RAW to a file-sharing site like http://www.rapidshare.com/
    and post the download link(s)?

  • Artwork appears to be stored in two locations

    hi
    i'm needing a way to transfer the storage of my artwork to the external hard drive. i've added a few jpg's and they've stored on the C drive separately from the music on the X drive.
    how can i ensure future jpg's will save to the X drive?
    can anyone help?

    Generally setting a common Album Artist will fix things.

  • Please help! - Artwork for podcast doesn't show up in iTunes store.

    Hi there - My artwork doesn't show up in the iTunes store.
    Artwork shows up fine in the downloaded episodes, but in the store, only the "plain" podcast icon shows up. It's been nearly a week.
    -I published my feed with Feeder and host it on my site
    -Feedburner pulls it in
    -I submitted it myself in iTunes (using the feedburner feed-need it for stats)
    -I have been approved, and people have started subscribing.
    -Feed has been vetted, and appears to be ok.
    iTunes link: http://itunes.apple.com/WebObjects/MZStore.woa/wa/viewPodcast?id=3485...

    Please help!
    Thanks!

    The image is correctly referenced in the feed and there is an image at that URL. Some people have found that it takes some time for the image to appear, even after the podcast itself has been approved and appeared in the Store. so I should give it another few days.

    I'm having the same problem as the OP, I can't find that file "profiles.ini"

    I posted on my own problem recently w/ no response (https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/search?a=1&asked_by=GPStyne&w=2),
    so far all posts on this support page have been confusing and I've been unable to find any of the things they spoke of trying to change it.
    at this point I'm begrudgingly running Safari hoping someone can help me fix this, can't believe i can't just delete all and reinstall like a normal program/app

  • Artwork on ios doesn't display!

    Hi. For some reason no artwork is displayed on my iOS devices with the music synced from iTunes match.
    On my computer however all the artwork has synced fine.
    Any ideas why this might be happening?
    Thanks.

    If you want quality software, then you need it written by qualified humans rather than careless monkeys. I've yet to find any software written by Apple that actually works as intended. Sad.

  • How do I change the album artwork that appears on the front of a playlist?

    When I put playlists on my iPad the wrong album artwork appears on the front of them, sometimes not even containing the correct picture. is there any way to alter this?

    This needs to be fixed! The playlist artwork chosen seems random and doesn't relate to the contents of the playlist, and in my case is misleading (the same artwork for several playlists). I have a new iPad mini and the most recent version of iTunes. My ancient iPod nano is looking better all the time.
