Artwork in Itunes on computer

I am running out of room so quickly on my laptop. My degree is in classical music so I have about 160 g on my lappy. I uploaded everything into itunes match and have started to delete a few things and keep them in the cloud. Of course they are all also backed up on my external hard drive. However, everything that I've deleted and kept on in the cloud has stopped showing me the artwork. I'm a little uptight about my music stuff. Is there a way to get itunes to display the artwork for albums that are kept only in the cloud?

I had the exact same problem. It ***** when you have 10,000+ tunes...
Even though the album art shows in iTunes, it doesn't mean it will show in the iPod. The easiest way to figure out which ones which need attention is to go into your iPod (go into album cover browse) or in iTunes (display the album and sort by song). You can write down the albums that need to be fixed and then follow the directions below for adding the artwork or if in iTunes fix 'em as you find 'em.
Right-click on the tracks missing the artwork and choose Show In Windows Explorer. Then right-click the track again and choose Get Info. Drag and drop the folder.jpg file from the other window into the artwork square and click on OK.
This is the only sure way I have found to get the artwork to display reliably in my iPod.

Artwork in ITunes in computer but some not on iPod

I have all of my artwork loaded into my iTunes on the computer. It all shows up when I am in iTunes on the computer, but there are a select few (out of over 1000) CDs that do not show artwork on the iPod. I have re-synced hoping it would fix. I have alos put in new artwork, and the issue still will not resolve. Any suggestions?
Thanks!
Kevin

Problem with artwork in iTunes 7

Since i got iTunes 7 a strange error started in my ipod video 60gb(fully updated):
First, the ipod was not showing any artwork. Then i tried to uncheck the "display artwork" field, and press apply. Then check the field againd, and press apply again. It started to optimize my artwork, but by the middle of the process, this error happened: "The ipod "Flavio" cannot be updated. An unknown error occurred
(-50).". I started searching in the internet what could this error be, and found that it is a communication problem, or something like that, but could be caused by bad (corrupted maybe) pictures, photos or artwork. I erased them all (even all the artwork) and tried the uncheck-check process again, and the same error happened. I read that it could be lack of space in my computer, but right now there are 6.6gb of free space in my c: (is it enough?) and the error still happens.
Today i plugged my ipod on a computer with iTunes 6, tried the uncheck-check process again, and surprise, it worked! Unplugged the ipod, tried playing the only song with artwork remaining, and it worked too! So i came back home and tried again with itunes 7, but the error happened again, tried the song and the artwork wasn't showing again... Ok, so i tried with a laptop, itunes 6, and it worked perfectly again, then i thought "The problem can be happening just on my computer". Updated the laptop itunes, tried unchecking-checking again, and it seemed to work, no errors, but when i played the song on ipod, the artwork was gone again! Just like when the error happened... Tried again, no errors, no artwork, tried back on my computer, error, no artwork.
2 itunes 6 -> worked, 2 itunes 7 -> problems. The only possible conclusion is that there is a bug in this new itunes, or a new way of dealing with artwork (by itunes, not by the users). Am i right? Or can anyone help me?
I was thinking about restoring, but as i am adding everything by hand, nothing automatic, it could take a lot of time to choose everything again, and to make all the playlists again... And after seeing that this could be a bug, and could happen again, i decided to post everything here before restoring, to see if there is a better solution.
Thank you for helping! (or at least for reading this huge post, and sorry for my bad english...)

there is some problem with i tunes 7(the7.0.1 patch also) in that any artwork found by i tunes is visible whilst viewing tracks in your library if you transfer said tracks to your ipod then the artwork is not transferred,also it you use album artwork as your screensaver then artwork found by i tunes is not used. i can only think that something is not beeing written to the id tags of the tracks. any artwork found by yourself and dragged into the relevant box on the track or album information screen(called up by apple+i)is seen on itunes and by the screensaver. i have spoken to apple support and they assured me that they would get back to me as they had to investigate.that was a month ago. if the problem really bugs you then you can drag artwork found by itunes onto your desktop and then back into the tracks id screen. this remedys the problem but is tedious to say the least. hope this helps

How do I download album artwork from iTunes on my Mac to my iPod touch?

I have album artwork in iTunes on my desktop Mac. I want to have that artwork with my albums and songs on my iPod Touch? I don't see an obvious way to move or synch the artwork, except possibly replacing all music on my iPod with what is in iTunes. I don't want to do that because I synch with my office and home computers and the music is not identical on the two computers.

Thanks for your help, but I already have the album artwork on my desktop Mac (connected with its appropriate album). When I synch my iPod (or simply copy the new album to my iPod), the artwork does not show up. I could choose Synch Music, but that would then I get this message: "All existing content on the iPod will be removed and replaced with songs and playlists from your iTunes library." This would cause me to lose music place on my iPod from my home computer, which I don't want to do.

Artwork in itunes and seeing it on an Apple TV

Hello everyone. I recently purchased my first Mac, a Mini and have also purchased an Apple TV to stream movies, photos and music to our family room.
I've been able to get artwork inserted into the music side of itunes but when I try and associate artwork with a movie, it never shows up on the Apple TV. It acts like it takes it in iTunes. Sometimes it does and other times it doesn't. But when it shows up in iTunes, I still don't see it on the Apple TV.
Can someone help me understand why it wouldn't show up when it's being streamed to an Apple TV? Or why it doesn't always shosw up in the iTunes movie section? I'm not sure if I need to keep a folder of artwork somewhere or how I should do it. With the music side of iTunes, I just copy the artwork from Amazon.com and paste it in when the song is playing and it works. With a movie, I've pasted it into the Artwork box and usually it doesn't stick. if I put the artwork in a folder and insert it that way, it seems to stick around, but neither allow it to stream to the Apple TV.
I'm lost on this one. Thanks for your help.

After adding artwork, exiting iTunes, starting iTunes and syncing again, some of my videos now have artwork showing up with them. A couple, however, still don't.
Do artwork files need to be in a specific format like JPG or GIF to work with iTunes? I'm taking them right off of Amazon, so I'm surprised they didn't work. The problem is on my Cars and Madagascar videos and our Penguin Christmas Capar video. All three have the artwork showing up on iTunes on the computer but it never makes it to the Apple TV.
Thanks for the help.

Artwork in Itunes: I still don't get it - please help me peach!

The response and the links provided by 'wrongway peachfuzz' instruct me to change artwork in itunes using 'get info' and artwork appears correctly when I follow instructions. But when I subscribe from another mac, the artwork does not appear.
I have read the response often sent by 'wrongway peachfuzz' at least dozen times. His instructions don't even require me to log in. If changing it in 'get info' would work, couldn't spammers change the artwork on every podcast to a picture of george bush or some ad for refinancing?
Subscribers won't 'get info' to see the correct artwork. I want subscribers to be able to see my artwork in their 'album' view or their 'cover flow' view.
Thanks for your previous responses, but I need more help!
J

Hey, sorry to leave ya hangin', but it was a long weekend . . .
Anyway -
I think I see your point of confusion here: you were trying to change the artwork from your page in the iTunes Store, correct? (Hence: . . .+instructions don't even require me to log in+. . .) My friend, this is not done from your iTunes Store listing, okay? The steps that I have laid out in previous posts are done way before your podcast ever shows up in the store.
Let's walk through it step by step:
1. You record a podcast onto your computer.
2. You edit the audio for speaking errors, format the bit rate, etc.
}}}}Right now, your podcast is just a file, sitting on your computer. It hasn't hit the web yet, and you *have not* updated your XML file.{{{{
3. You take the file that is sitting on your hard drive, and drag it into iTunes.
4. You follow the steps for changing artwork that I have given previously.
5. You upload your podcast file to a server where people can download it.
6. You update your podcast feed/XML.
See, the thing is, *no one* can change the files from the Store. That is how no spammers are able to access anything. The changes are made to the file before you upload it. And thus, when people download your file, they are getting your podcast and +the artwork that you attached to your podcast+.
Hope this clears things up for you -- let me know if it doesn't.

Missing Artwork in iTunes & iPhone-Adding

For use with my new iPhone I purchased a new UMPC computer, i.e., Samsung Ultra Q1. Transferred music collection from my windows laptop, approximately 450 songs, 91 Albums. Installed iTunes 7.3.0.54. Added music folder to iTunes and iTunes converted the music as most were in WMA format. Synched iPhone and with the exception of missing artwork iPhone music looks fine.
A. One Album has artwork in iTunes but did not transfer over to iPhone. Any ideas what I should do?
B. Out of 96 albums 43 need to get Artwork. Tried having iTunes search/get but it was unable to find. From reviewing forums looks like I need to add manually. I have found the artwork in the respective music/cd folder on the original/source laptop. Looks like there is a large JPG and small JPG for the artwork, which one should I use to add to track/album manually. I assume once I get all the artwork on the albums in iTunes it will transfer over to my iPhone on the next sync.
Thanks
Kris

Hey Kristopherk07,
The smaller version of the artwork or thumbnail was probabbly being used by your other music application, I would use the larger version though.

Display iPod artwork in iTunes

It is possible to have artwork from songs on your iPod show up in iTunes without having the songs in your library?
I listen to my iPod at work every day by plugging it into my computer (MacBook Pro). My main library is on my home computer (iMac G5).I don't want to transfer all my songs from the iPod to the MacBook, but it would be nice to be able to see the artwork in iTunes.
Any way to do this?

I'm not sure I understand what you mean.
The cover art displays just fine on the iPod (when it's not plugged into the laptop) and it also displays for what little music I have in my iTunes library on the laptop.
What I want is for the cover art for music on the iPod to display in iTunes on the laptop when the iPod is plugged in and playing.
Might not be possible, but I don't see why it shouldn't be.

IPod is recognized by iTunes and computer, but wil not sync songs

iPod is recognized by iTunes and computer, but wil not sync songs. I have about 1400 songs and just got 40 more, and before I bought those 40 my iTunes was wiped out. I still had the files so my iTunes was filled up again. Now, when I connect my iPod to the computer it is recognized and then it says "do not disconnect" then after a few seconds it says "ipod update is complete- ok to disconnect". but it did not upload any songs. How can I make it work?

If your iPod shows up in Explorer under 'my computer' try changing the drive letter:
-- Click on Start=>Control Panel=>Admin Tools=>Computer Management=>Disk Management
-- Right-Click on the iPod and select “change drive letter”
-- Choose something further along in the alphabet that is unused (Usually, “M”, “N”, “O” or something similar)
-- Safely eject the iPod
-- Reboot the PC
Then restore your iPod to factory settings.

With iTunes 10, Computer Still Freezing When Podcasts are Downloading

For the last several versions of iTunes, my computer has been slowing down a LOT while podcasts are downloading, especially when a new iT version is first installed. Then things improve over time. Now, with iTunes 10.1.1.4, it's horrendous. ITunes takes forever to open, and then causes my computer to become completely unresponsive. It doesn't respond to mouse or keyboard inputs, so I can't minimize it or shut it down.
Sometimes when that happens, I can't even open Task Manager, but when I can, it indicates that iTunes is using between 95 and 98% of CPU. In that circumstance, I can't even shut down iTunes with TM. After 15 or 20 minutes and all the podcasts have downloaded, I'm able to use my computer again, even with iTunes open.
It happens with all podcasts, but obviously it's more of a problem when a big pcast is downloading.
Today, I got the famous blue screen of death. All my programs had frozen and I was trying to shut down iTunes. The blue screen said "kernel data inpage error," whatever that means.
With past versions, I've tried uninstalling and re-installing iT, but that has not helped.
All my other programs are working fine. Today I ran CCCleaner, AdAware, RegCure and Malware Bytes, but nothing changed. My McAfee anti-virus max scanning time is 10 seconds.
Any idea what could be going on here? Or how to begin troubleshooting this mess?

Hi,
finally worked! I found this post and it has finally worked I understand it is the same as WHATHECK's answer so thanks WHATHECK!
You have to be certain that you have backed up your Library's and Playlists and that you are doing the one in the root (if like me you use a HD any old library/playlists instead of deleting them put them some were safe just incase and make sure you are re-creating the library from your root folder i.e user/music/itunes

Seriously thinking of not updating itunes next time...

I have two macs at my house, and multiple iPhones. I want to keep the same apple id as everyone else, but i want to put my own music only on my iPhone. I want to do this with my laptop which is not the family's main iTune's computer.

If you use the same Apple ID for iCloud on each device, yes. However, you can use the same Apple ID for iTunes content on each device, but different Apple ID's for iCloud, iMessage, FaceTime, etc., on each device. That way, you can have whatever iTunes content you want on each phone, but keep all of the other data separate. You can create another Apple ID here:

I am trying to update an old version of itunes, my computer says it took place, but when I hook up my daughters new ipod it says the new version is needed. What do I need to do?

I am trying to update an old version of itunes, my computer says it took place, but when I try to sync my daughters new ipod it says a newer version if itunes is required?

In iTunes, look at Help/About iTunes and as the screen rolls up, check for the version number. Ignore the bit that says iTunes 10 in massive bold lettering, wait for the smaller text to appear as the it rolls up. The latest version (on 15th April 2012) is iTunes 10.6.1.7 and the text you should see will simply state iTunes 10.6.1.7. Underneath that will be "gumpf" about copyright etc.
If your iTunes does not say this, then something must have gone wrong with the update you did. How did you do it? The usual way is to simply select (in your iTunes), Help/Check for Updates. In my case, the return message I see states This version of iTunes (10.6.1) is the current version. The alternative message will state something like "there is a later version of iTunes available, do you wish to download it" or similar. Selecting "Yes" would begin the download and if you leave it to run itself, the update should take effect, providing you don't stop it or (I guess) keep iTunes so busy it cannot run the update. It may need to close and re-open before the change takes effect.
At a guess, the reason your daughter's iPod is saying it requires a newer version of itunes is either because you've just bought it, and you have a fairly old version of iTunes - AH!, that may be the problem. >>
>> If the version of iTunes you had installed was very old, then the update may have updated to something other than the latest version. So even if the update has taken place, if it only updated from, for example, iTunes 8 to iTunes 9, then it may need a further update to get to version 10 or to 10.6.1. So for you, now, check after update for the version your iTunes thinks it is until it states iTunes 10.6.1.7.
Alternatively, if your daughter's iPod has been Synced with another computer (with a later version of iTunes than yours, even by one increment), then that would cause then issue you currently have, because her iPod will now only want to work the the latest version it has previously done business with, not your old version.
Note; the current version of iTunes as I've stated it, may change any day. Apple do not announce when updates will be released. Uisng Help/Check for Updates and seeing the return message This version of iTunes (10.6.1) is the current version is the only sure way of telling that you are up to date.
Additional note; gumpf = slang for "random junk".
Let us know how you get on.
