"automatically download missing album artwork" Questions.....

I have added a lot of album and artists photos to my music. If I check the preference to let itunes fill in missing artwork will it write over art that is presently there?
If so I won't do it.

.John thanks for the response.. I'm a bit confused I know it wont workif I dont set the preference but my question is if it finds different artwork for songs that I have already put in will it replace those songs with its own artwork?

Updated to latest I-Tunes. Since then whenever I import a new cd to the library it won't get album artwork.How do I get the artwork. My I-Tunes is set to automatically download missing album artwork but it doesn't work.

Updated to latest I-Tunes. Since then whenever I import a new cd to the library it does not get the album artwork. Automatically download missing album artwork is enabled in Preferences but the art work still does not appear in my library?

I'm having the same problem as the OP, I can't find that file "profiles.ini"
can't re-install firefox, deleted all files related to Mozilla and Firefox, still locked out by missing Firefox profile
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

"Automatically download missing album artwork"

When i click this in preferences, it asks me to make an apple account, which i already have!
Is it anything to do with the fact i have a new ipod? Is there something i have to change to make my library recognise i have an apple account?

A couple of things to check/try:
First, make sure you're connected to the UK iTunes Store, not some other country's store. Scroll down to the bottom of the main iTunes Store page and confirm that it's showing the UK as your store. If it shows any other country, change to the UK and try again.
If that isn't the issue, check the upper-right of the iTunes Store to see if you're logged into your existing iTunes Store account. If the window says "log in", not your store ID, try logging in and then downloading the artwork.
Hope this helps.

Weird iTunes 10.6.3 missing album artwork issue

I upgraded to iTunes 10.6.3 yesterday, and I had to restart my Mac for an unrelated issue. This afternoon, I noticed something really weird- all my "Documentary" movies that I purchased through iTunes Store have lost their artwork previews; meaning, if I click on "Movies" in the Library menu at left, then select the "Documentary" genre, and view the movies under "Grid" mode, none of the movies have any artwork along the left side next to the title. It has ONLY affected the "Documentary" movies, but none of my other genres. In fact, I created a separate sub-category for "Disney Documentaries", and those movies are missing the artwork in "Grid" view as well. If I view all Movies in "List" mode, all the movies have artwork EXCEPT the Documentaries. Interestingly enough- if I select a Documentary movie and type "Cmd+I", then select the "Artwork" tab in the "Information" window. the artwork is still there, it just doesn't show in the "List" or "Grid" view. How can I fix this? I am currently rebuilding the Spotlight Index, I've repaired permissions, and even done a verify/repair with Disk Utility, but nothing has worked so far. I've already checked the "Automatically Download Missing Album Artwork" under Preferences, but that didn't solve the problem either. The movies all play fine otherwise, but this little glitch is frustrating me. Please help!

I have this issue. Album artwork was totally fine before. After this update, it is all messed up and even got messed up when transferred to my iphone.
iTunes doesn't have the artwork anymore, but then iPhone has it but shows wrong artwork with wrong albums.
Please fix!

"If the content doesn't exist in iTunes then you can'd load artwork."
If not in the iTunes Store, iTunes uses the Graceland database for artwork and tag info.

How do I download my album artwork on the latest version of iTunes?

So I'm new to owning a mac, but I want to download my album artwork, and on the new version of iTunes, there is no "advanced" button. How do I do this?

Select the song (or songs) and CTRL-Click. Then choose Get Album Artwork

How do I fill in missing album artwork?

How do I fill in missing album artwork for my music library?

A smart playlist with the rule Has artwork is false will help you focus on the tracks that need artwork.
Option-(or right)-click > Get Album Artwork should get artwork from the store if the album can be recognised. Otherwise Google is your friend, search for the relevant album, copy the image & paste it in to iTunes.
Note sure if affects Mac users but there is a copy/paste bug with the current build (10.4.0.80) which can result in a blank image being pasted. Saving the image locally to your computer, and then dragging in the saved image will work around that.

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?

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

Another "get album artwork" question

another "get album artwork" question
I notice that when I click "get album artwork" it seems to go through the whole library and look for cover jpegs. (in my case, that's going to take a long time!)
here's my question: it's looking for artwork, yes, but it's NOT going to do anyything to the many, many albums for which I have already (manually) added artwork, is it? If it does - I am in trouble! Please, somebody, reassure me that the artwork I have painstakingly added manually to zillions of albums is safe!

Updade...
So, as another test, I uninstalled iTunes, then checked the hard drive again.
All the icons have now turned into Quicktime icons, which leads me to believe that when you look at your music in finder, it shows the icons related to your default music player.
So, my next step is to find a new default player, and maybe my album covers will show up again.

Missing album artwork when offline

I notice that album artwork is missing when I'm offling playing tracks that I've saved/downloaded for offline use. As the track is locally saved shouldn't the album artwork also be stored locally? When I go online the album artwork reappears.
Bizarre??!

Incidentally, steps to reproduce on Spotify iOS v3.3.0.1640: Put iPhone into Airplane Mode.Launch Spotify App.Small artwork shows album list: Enter album, large artwork missing: Small artwork shows in song bar whilst playing a song: Full screen now playing, large artwork missing: Can you please fix this?

Missing Album Artworks in Album view in Music iOS

Apple updated Music App in iOS 6.
New interface Design but a new bug appear some album artworks are missing when we go in the Album list view.
But when you select an album, the artworks appear well and also appear in Cover Flow.
The album artworks are missing in Album list view only.
The problem seems to come from the option : Convert higher bite rate songs to xxx kbps AAC in iTunes
I just tried with the bit rate 192 kbps : some album artworks are missing in the Album view list
So if you want, you can test with the other bit rate and post if you have the some problem.
I uncheked the option Convert higher bite rate songs to xxx kbps AAC in iTunes, I resent my music to my iOS device.
Now all album artworks appear well in the Album list view.
In hoping this can help anyone.

Hey,
You should definitely submit this bug as feedback to the iTunes team.

ITunes 11 (11.1.4) Update Missing Album Artwork

Macbook Pro, Mac OS X (10.7.5). I have recently updated to 11.1.4 and now I am left with much of my album artwork missing...........sort of. In the picture below you can see the artwork is in the mini window but not on the album cover. Simple enough, find it how I found it in the first place, right click and get album artwork, right? Wrong. Not one out of a few hundred can be found. Any ideas?

That means one or more tracks in the album have the artwork, but the track referenced doesn't.
Simplest solution is to select one track that DOES have it. You can do this by getting info for the first track, selecting the Artwork tab and clicking "Next" at the bottom of the info pane until you see the album cover.
Click the album cover and press Cmd+C to copy it.
Then select the entire album and click the Artwork box. Press Cmd+V to past the artwork into ALL files
That's the long way, but... it "hard embeds" the artwork, which I prefer to the iTunes store artwork application which only links to it.

Can't download iTunes album artwork

I'd say that by now I buy the huge majority of my new music from the iTunes store, but still when Target runs their weekly special on new music that meets or beats the iTunes price on something I want, I buy the CD. Most of the time, the album artwork downloads just fine -- as most of it downloaded just fine when they first made this feature available, for my back catalog of CDs that I've ripped to iTunes.
But this week with Bright Eyes, Cassadaga, using the download album artwork feature in iTunes yields nothing, just the generic album cover. The artist and album title fields are the same as the iTunes version, and all the song titles seem to match.
I changed the genre from Alternative & Punk off CDDB from the ripped CD to Alternative like the iTunes Store has it, but no luck.
Any ideas? Any tags I can change to make it match the iTunes Store and thus download the artwork for this album?

You might just have to add it manually. Here's how:

ITunes and Album Artwork question on Mac with two users

Hey everyone, I have what I hope is a pretty simple question. Right now, on my iMac, I have 2 user accounts, one for me and one for my wife. I wanted us to be able to share all of our music, so when I was setting up the computer, I put the iTunes Music Library in a /User/Shared/Music directory. Then, inside iTunes, for both users, I pointed to this new library. Everything here works great. When I add a song under 1 user, I just have to go to Add to Library under the other user and the songs are added. Works fine.
My main question is about the album artwork. I recently spent a lot of time under my user account going through and making sure I have all of the album artwork for every song we have in our library. I never thought about checking this on my wife's account, but when I did I realized that all of the stuff I added is not there. Anyway, I did some checking and found out that the album artwork is stored in each users Music directory. I did some reading on the web, and what I did was move my album artwork folder to the /Users/Shared/ directory, then created a symbolic link in my user directory to the shared folder. I did the same in my wife's account. I thought this would do the trick but it hasn't changed anything. Can anyone help me out here? Thanks so much for your time.

The artwork is stored in Music/iTunes/Artwork.
iTunes handles everything in that folder when iTunes adds it to the database.
This info is maintained in the iTunes library file in the iTunes folder.
iTunes will not do anything by copying or pointing to the artwork folder in your folder.
Unless you are both using the same iTunes library file, you will need to get your own artwork.
I put the iTunes Music Library
Do you mean the iTunes music folder?
Here's a way to do what you want.
Move your *iTunes folder* to the shared directory.
Open iTunes holding Option and select *Choose existing library*.
Select the iTunes library file in the Shared directory.
Everything should work fine.
Quit iTunes.
Move the *iTunes music folder* from /User/Shared/Music directory into the *iTunes folder* you moved into the Shared directory.
Start iTunes. Everything should work.
Quit iTunes.
Log into your wife's account.
Start iTunes holding the Option key, select *Choose existing library* and select the *iTunes library file* in the iTunes folder you moved into the Shared directory.
Everything should be there including all artwork.
Each user needs to quit iTunes before the other user can open it.
Shouldn't be a problem since you are using the same computer.
