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

  • Artwork on iPod does not match artwork in iTunes

    Hello all,
    Lately I have noticed that the artwork for the songs on my iPod are way off from what the artwork is for the same song in iTunes. There doesn't seem to be any rhyme or reason. I have done a reset of the iPod to factory settings and then resynched the iPod but it still is showing the same problem after I added some songs to iTunes and did another synchronization.
    Any ideas?

    I had this problem for a while then I realised that it was because I was syncing music from 2 PC's. When I synced from my home PC all the artwork would be ok but then when I added another album from my work PC all the covers got scrambled. I believe its because I needed certain folders from my home PC on the other one. Dont know if this will help but thats what happened to me.

  • 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.

  • Border around Artwork in Cover Flow, iOS 4.3

    First of all: please excuse me for my english; it's not my native language.
    After updating to iOS 4.3 (Mac OS X 10.6.6; iTunes 10.4), I had some problem with some artworks, so I removed and added all my music to my iPhone 4. Suddenly, all the artworks in Cover Flow has a thin (or thick, depending on the form of the picture), black border around them. In "Now playing mode", artwork also looks like they are in low resolution – even if they aren't.
    Anyone familiar with this problem? Can I fix it, or will it be addressed and fixed with an upgrade?

    I got the same issue. it didnt used to have this before. now all the new albums have them. how can we fix it?

  • ITunes wifi sync - cover does not match with a song

    I synced music on iPhone with iTunes on MacBook via wifi. After sync, on my phone, almost all the songs had mixed covers. The cover does not match with a song - please see enclosed picture. I removed all the songs and downloaded them again from iTunes. It helped but not for all the songs. I tried sync with a cable but it did not work. The covers on iTunes on MacBook seem to be okay. Help, please?

    I am having similar problems after clicking yes when Software Update advised I needed OSX & iTunes update. I'm running Snow Leopard, and now I cannot open iTunes, run  iTunes on my computer, siync my iPod, anything. I wish I had NEVER clicked yes...

  • 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...

  • Cover Flow showing wrong artwork, Now Playing showing right!

    I am going to lose my mind if I don't get this figured out.
    I have several files in my iTunes that show the wrong artwork in the Cover Flow. They show the correct artwork in Now Playing, as well as when I go to Get Info. The correct artwork is there, and it is the only artwork there (i.e., there aren't two different images there).
    What in the world am I doing wrong, and how can I fix this? I thought at one point it had something to do with marking something as part of a compilation, but I've unmarked anything that was marked as such but it didn't help...
    HELP!! Thanks....

    At some level iTunes sorts & groups tracks on the basis of a bunch of fields, i.e. track no. disc no. album, artist, album artist, sort album, sort artist, sort album artist & the compilation flag. (I think that's all of them.) If you have a bunch of tracks with no album name and marked as a compilation it's probably a good bet to assume they are all part of the same album. In cover flow iTunes only shows one item of art for each album hence the effect you see.
    To use the old maxim, +it's not a fault, it's a feature+.

  • Viewing artwork in cover flow view...

    I seem to be one of the few users of iTunes that is truly delighted with the latest release, albeit starting afresh with 7.0.1 on a new installation of OSX. That said, I find that in the cover flow view artwork downloaded from the iTunes store displays more much more quickly than the scans of covers I have added manually. At first I thought that this might be because of the higher resolution images I was using, but when scrolling I find that my scans do not show until I release the mouse whereas iTunes images display fluently at all times. A small, but irritating cosmetic point, but perhaps there is a solution...?

    Not yet. I experience the same thing. Your "manual" artwork is imbedded into the song file. The new Apple artwork is retained in a separate folder in the iTunes folder. There must be a lag accessing the former, hence the artwork not immediately appearing. Remains to be seen whether Apple addresses this.
    I too like iTunes 7. Seems much more organized/functional.

  • Artwork in Cover Flow is blurry

    For some reason the album covers in the cover flow view are very blurry. I realize that it gets less sharp as you make the image larger, however when I click on the album cover in the lower left hand corner, and make it the same exact size as the artwork in the cover flow, the image from the bottom left corner is noticeably sharper. Anyone have any ideas?
    thanks in advance,
    Lucas

    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

  • What do you with songs that dont have Album Artwork? Cover flow.

    I have a live concert recording from my favorite band from 2 years ago. obviously since its a live recording, there is no album artwork for it but i use cover flow, which i love.
    if i dont have album artwork for even this live recording then it defeats the purpose of having cover flow. so what do i do?

    Find a suitable image and add that as an illustration in the absence of an actual album cover. Just add add the image manually to the tracks you want: Adding Album Cover Art or Images in iTunes
    I found this page full of pictures using Google image search: The Decemberists

  • 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.

    Anybody else seeing this? Anyone have a solution?

    This was fixed in the 10.6.4 update.

  • ITunes cover flow mis-match betwn Macbk pro & ipod

    I have approx 300 albums on my Mac, synced with a 160GB ipod classic.  Using "cover flow" on the ipod, it matches very well for the first 250 albums or so -- by author, then title.  But the final ones are then apparently random by author / title.  I've checked the "info" and that seems fine, author in the right slot etc.  Any ideas?

  • Shuffling genre using cover flow not possible

    Hi,
    Using iTunes to play music over the home stereo became so much nicer with cover flow, however, you cannot shuffle, for example by genre, when using cover flow. Using list view I selected the genre and shuffle, then switched to cover flow, and it starts shuffling all songs in iTunes and does not stick to the selected genre. I guess this is because it looses the browser even if you don't use full screen mode. I could of course create playlists for all genres but this seems to be excessive use of playlists, especially because it's not necessary for anything else.

    Yeah the Cover Flow option is checked when I click it. I have checked it again and it is still checked - but it still appears as the picture shown above.

  • Cover flow not working properly.

    When I delete photos from cover flow the file name goes from the list but the photo stays. For example if I now select photo number 20 I am actually viewing photo number 19 and all the following photos are numbered wrongly. The only way to rectify it is to reboot.

    I have just found out that I don't have to shut down the computer to rectify this I only need to close finder.
