Artwork (Cover Art) not shown anymore in Finder for Movie Files

After starting with Snow Leopard I was very happy to see now the Movie Artwork in Finder instead of the first Movie Frame (mostly black).
Since (today?) I don't see my Movie Artworks anymore in Finder. Instead of the Artwork, I see only the Quicktime Icon.
On an older MacBook (10.6) there is everything as I expected. But on my new MacBook Pro and Mac Mini (both 10.6.1) I only see the Quicktime Icon.
I trying to delete com.apple.finder.plist ... but with no success.
I found a little Difference in Finder.
- Finder in MacBook (10.6.) shows the Movie as 'MPEG-4-Videodatei' ... in English 'MPEG-4-Videofile'
- Finder in MacBookPro/MacMini (10.6.1) shows the Movie as 'Geschützter MPEG-4-Film' ... in English 'Protected MPEG-4-Movie'
The Movies (all H.264 with Extension m4v created with Elgato Turbo.264 HD or Handbrake) are located on an Network Drive. So I can't imagine, where the difference is coming from, because I look at the same Movie with 10.6 and 10.6.1.
Has anyone an idea or the same Problem ?

Major Edit:
Hey,
Thanks for trying. I looked at all of my converted movies i did in the last year and yeah, they are all of the protected kind, I just didn't pay attention. Ctrl Alt Del Reboot.
It's frustrating because I make them on my MBP, save them to the Time capsule, and i have to disconnect and reconnect to the Time capsule before I can read them, but I can read them just fine on my mac mini immediately.
Have you tried to manually set the artwork to the file, on your mac that is having the problems? I'm not to familiar with the process that you used, but could you change it as you would an application icon?
You can send apple your feedback on this if you want- just find your mac and go from there:

Thanks again for the Time capsule help

In my Apple Macbook Air, most of the USB Flash/Thumb Drives are not shown in the Finder Window. Only a few Brands of USB /Flash Thumb Drives are shown or compatible or shown in the Finder. How do I use any Flash/Thumb Drive with my Apple MacAir?

Yes, junker thumb drives pour like rain in the market.
Which makes are working on your Air, and which arent?
Stick to Sandisk and a couple of other reliable mfg. of memory sticks

Embedded Fonts are not shown anymore

When I create a PDF from a Word Doc, the embedded Fonts are not shown anymore. In the previous Version it was working perfectly. My version is currently 11.0.10.

Thank you for your feedback. The Job im using is simple take a word document converting it into a pdf format. If this is done I will see it in my Acrobat view. There is no fonts at all. The System is notifying me that the font "ETBFGYI+DIN-Regular" are not embedded. And there will be some character not shown or printed correctly. I didn't change anything on the setting of Acrobat. I'm using this Acrobat almost for 2 years and I never had any problem. The Problem came up after the last update of the software to version 11.01.10.

Oh my gosh I had the EXACT same problem, and for ages I couldn't figure out how to fix it until today. Here's what I did:
First I went onto my computer, opened itunes, and un-installed tumblr, vine and kik. These were the apps I was having problems with (it said I had them on my phone but, like you, they didn't show).
Then I went to the itunes store, searched for each one, and it said I could update them so I did (just FYI: for tumblr a window popped up saying "please click ok to confirm you are 17 years or older", so I did that also)
When I went back to my phone and tried installing them again (still on my computer), it worked!
I hope this helps, because it was incredibly frustrating. Good luck!

After upgrading to the latest version of itune, I get this message when trying to open itunes: "The I'tunes Library File is locked, on a locked disk, or you do not have permission to write for this file.

After importing the latest version of itune, I now get this message: "The I-tunes library file is locked, on a locked disk , or you do not have permission to write for this file. How do I resolve this?

check if you have read & write permissions for your music folder. in the finder, right-click on it and get info. unlock the little padlock (you may have to enter your admin password) and change the permission settings if necessary. next, click on the little gear-shaped icon and apply to enclosed items like so
the important part is to apply to enclosed items !
also, even if it seems unrelated, try the steps in this support article: iTunes: Missing folder or incorrect permissions may prevent authorization

Finding all .mov files

hello, I have been trying to wrangle all my .mov files and was wondering if anybody knows a good way to do this.
I am looking to consolidate the movies I shot and were downloaded using iphoto. The folder structure for iphoto is deep and I do not have the time to open every folder to capture the file and put it in a common movies folder. Also, I have a lot of .mov files that I have downloaded from our server at work or from emails that I would like to archive and pull off my limited solid state hard drive. I was able to find and move files using spotlight but it is hard to know if I have everything and have not been able to use spotlight to delete the files that I have transfered to another disk so a therfore not saving disk space.
Any thoughts or tools would be most appreciated.

Well, first, you should not delete any files that you find are part of the iPhoto structure. iPhoto uses a database linked to the media files, and if you move or remove files that are within its library, you will corrupt the database and risk the library being unuseable.
I would do it in two sets of searches - I would first search the Finder. It's better to search for all files of type "movie" than to restrict it to the ".mov" extension. Type "movie" in any Finder search box, and the dropdown should offer "Kind - Movie". Click that. Make sure that "Search" (the location along the top of the window) reads "This Mac" (you'll get a better results list than if you restrict it to "All my files").
Do the second search within iPhoto itself (not in the Finder). Open iPhoto, and create a new smart album. For the criteria, set "type" to "movie". You can then drag (to copy) these movies out of iphoto and into your preferred Finder location. If you prefer, you can then delete them from iPhoto (select all and cmd-delete).

1) What you downloaded should be a packed file (zip, tar.gz, etc) that needs to be unpacked into the directory of your choice.
2) & 3) are answered by Ant's installation documentation (the page you're quoting from):

Album art not shown in finder

Embedded album art in audio files is not shown in finder since I upgraded to ML (worked fine in SL).
Other peaple report a solution of the problem with elimination of Voice Memos. But in my case this is not evident because I do not have Voice Memos.
Does somebody know the solution of the problem?

After hours struggling with this issue I finally found a solution (my setup is iTunes 10.7, OSX 10.8.3):
(But my workaround is only for people who know how to handle iTunes libraries!!! And backup first!!)
Open a new user account on your mac.
Generate a new iTunes library called 'itunes', no other name!
Import some files with embedded album art.
Drag such a file back to desktop and you should see the icon of album art.
Everything is like it should be.
Now copy this new itunes library to your user account of origin.
But first rename your old iTunes library different from 'itunes' e.g. 'itunesorigin'
Open the new iTunes and drag one file to desktop, now miraculosly all audiofiles in all of your itunes libraries should show up album art IN FINDER including preview and quicklook.
But this state is not stable. As soon as you open the old 'itunesorigin' the problem starts up again.
So, the next steps are:
Open the new iTunes and in preferences select the media folder of 'itunesorigin'. OK, say no to 'collate data'. Close iTunes.
Now copy and replace from 'itunesorigin' to the new iTunes the following files:
iTunes Library Extras.itdb
iTunes Library Genius.itdb
iTunes Library.itl
iTunes Library.xml
Open the new iTunes and it should look like the old 'iTunesorigin' with all your playlists etc..
Close again.
Move the media folder from 'iTunesorigin to the new iTunes folder (replace).
Open new iTunes and select in preferences the new location of the media folder.
Now you should have the file iTunes Music Library.xml instead of iTunes Library.xml.
(iTunes Music Library.xml is the default if you have multiple libraries)
Done! For me its stable and I am happy. Your iTunes folder should look like this picture:

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.

Cover art not visible

On the new iTunes music library, there is supposed to be cover art shown for every album. But it's not there. How do I change that?

Oops Im sorry I slightly misread your first post, I thought you said "there is supposed to be cover FLIP art shown for every album. But it's not there"
I read a word you didn't type and thought you was talking about the "Cover flip" feratuer in iTUnes not working
I see now your talking about cover artwork not being downloaded and added to the songs. iTUnes only has artwork for songs it has in its store. Also the tags on the song have to be EXACT for the most part. FOr example....
I had the album "Missy Elliott - So Addictive" and it would not find the artwork. I knew they had to have her album in the store so I manually looked in the itunes store for her album. This is now they had it listed
Artist: Missy Elliott
Album: Miss E...So Addictive (Note the 3 dots between E and So)
Soon as I changed the album name to that (With the 3 dots) BOOM artwork came right up

Cover art not being loaded in iTunes 7

How does iTunes get the artwork it displays in the new cover browser? From the artwork included with the id3 tag of the mp3 file, or from the directory the mp3 file is in?
I have cover art in most directories (directories organized by album), but it is not being loaded. Does the filename have to be in a specific format? Or does the artwork actually have to be embedded in the id3 tag of the mp3 file?
Thanks.
Macbook Pro 15" Mac OS X (10.4.7) 2.0Ghz

The artwork must be embedded with each individual song, just having it in the directory doesn't allow iTunes to find it.

ITunes 10.5.1 multible cover art not showing

How Can i display different covers I stored with a song?
In earlier versions of iTunes in the little artwork viewer in the bottom left corner of the iTunes window there were left and right arrows on the top in case you added more than one picture to the cover art of a song. These arrows allowed you to toggle between the covers you stored.
In iTunes 10.5.1 clicking in the top of that little artwork viewer toggles between the view of the actual title or the chosen object.
Anyone any idea how to toggle between the different pictures stored in iTunes 10.5.1 within one song?

Hi mr_proud,
I made exactly the same experience by draging and dropping artwork into the artwork window. Sometimes even showing a black window for the artwork. In some cases it helped to restart iTunes. Nevertheless it's confusing. I guess it's some kind of bug and the developers should keep an eye on it.
Another reason might be, that there are problems with synchronizing songs with multiple artwork to the music player ot the iPhone or the iPad. In my iPhone 4S I couldn't find a way to display multiple artwork of one song.
Let's hope for the next update ;-)

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?

Various menus (incl. Netflix) not shown anymore

I've had the Apple TV for a while and have used it mainly for watching movies on Netflix. However, today I turned it on and various menus are missing, including Netflix under the Internet menu.
on the General menu, the software says its up-to date (iOS 4.3).
The WiFi is working fine.
I have no clue how to troubleshoot this.

I just reset all my settings (not a full restore) and the "movies" tab, along with the rest of the tabs in the internet tab (such as netflix) are available once again. No idea what caused this but glad things are working again.
