Can no longer get album artwork

Just got a new iPhone and wanted album artwork for all the songs I have loaded. Last night I found that some of the older songs I had loaded in my library had no album listed, so I would just find the correct album name, add it into the "Get Info" section - then I could right-click on it and the iTunes store would download the correct album artwork for me.
There were a few songs that iTunes didn't have, so I went out on the Internet, found the appropriate images and loaded them with those songs.
However, now, for whatever reason - even when iTunes finds the song, artist, album - when I right click and try to download the art, it is unable to do so. I've even been copying the information directly from iTunes to make sure that the song name, artist name & album name are correct. I just keep receiving "Unknown Error" - is this a temporary thing, or did something mess up by importing my own images?

  • Can't get the ministore to work and can no longer get album artwork!!

    The ministore is blank at the bottom of my screen and when I try to get album artwork for my music it doesn't do anything. It's been doing this for a long time and I cant find a solution on this website. Someone please help?

    Try sliding the words instead of tapping them.

  • ITunes 10.7.0.21 no longer 'gets album artwork'

    It used to be the case until very recently, that you could always get the album artwork for tracks either imported from CD, or bought from other stores by choosing 'Get album artwork' from the right click menu, and sometimes you had to modify the name of the artist or album in order for it to match the iTunes one, but it doesn't work at all anymore. It always comes back with 'Artwork for xxxx could not be found'.
    Has anyone else come accross this, and might know why, and how to fix it?
    Many thanks in advance.

    I bet if you buy the songs from the iTunes store it will work.

  • How to get album artwork

    Hi. How can I download album artwork in iTunes? I can't create a store account as I don't have a credit card. Stupid that I can't create an account without a credit card.
    Does someone have a dead itunes account that I can use to get album artwork?

    You don't have to have a credit card, you can buy a iTUnes music card from places like wal mart or use a free itunes code from some promotion off a candy bar, soda bottle, cereal ect ect

  • Get Album Artwork won't work

    Does anyone have any tips on how to get this feature to ever work right?
    I recently just bought Hot Sauce Committee Part Two by Beastie Boys on CD. I import the CD into iTunes. Then i shift click on all the songs and right click and go to 'Get Album Artwork' and it tells me 'Could Not Get Album Artwork For Some Albums'
    I have no idea what to do. When i imported the CD it imported it with the same exact spelling and spacing for the artist name and album title on itunes. But it acts like iTunes has never heard of this album. I can't update my Genius thing to be able to generate a genius playlist using any song from this CD either.
    It's almost like iTunes won't accept or acknowledge any music that was not bought through the iTunes store.
    please, does anyone have any clue on how to get itunes to act like this cd exists so i can make itunes get album artwork for it and allow it to be used for genius playlists?

    iTunes will only place artwork for albums that are offered in the iTunes Store. Be it the song lengths or order or who knows what, it doesn't see it as matching.
    This will have no effect on Genius Playlists. I have songs without album info or cover in my Genius results.
    You can manually add the cover yourself from a pic/jpg/png instructions are here http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1409

  • Can't right click to get album artwork

    After importing my own CD into iTunes, I can no longer right-click on the album in Cover Flow and select Get Album Artwork. In fact, right-clicking on the album gives me no menu at all. What gives?

    Is there a Print button on the floating toolbar:

  • ITunes can't get album artwork for songs iTunes has in the store... how do i fix this?

    i have a bunch of songs that either have the wrong album artwork or none at all.  the weirdest thing is that some of the albums are SOLD on iTunes. in fact, if i highlight one of my songs in iTunes, Ping sees it and shows me the correct cover art. BUT when i click "get album artwork", it tells me it cannot find the artwork. i've tried matching the text (song title, album title, artist, genre) exactly as it is in iTunes, but that doesn't help. it is doing this for about 60 of my albums and i don't know how to fix it. how can i get it to find the artwork?
    also... when iTunes finds the WRONG artwork, how can i direct it to the correct one?

    Albums, artists and complications must match precisely for iTunes to get a hit.  If you have a compilation, chances are you have a 'various artists' for an album artists ... there is a bit of a science to it.  I've managed to get most of my 'picky ones' to match.  But I have some that just won't - for whatever reason.

  • How can I get album artwork without using iTunes on the computer?

    I used touchcopy to copy the songs off my ipod touch onto my new computer, so i could then load them onto my ipod nano. I have got the songs on the nano, and theyre still on my touch, but there is no album artwork on either. For my nano, i can use iTunes, but the computer my touch is synced to is, well, dead. So, is there a way to get the album artwork back on my touch?
    Also, on my nano, it doesnt have any of the artists or album (name) for the songs
    Thanks

    Hi Wickster,
    I have found the following resource that may provide more help:
    iTunes 11 for Windows: Add artwork to songs and other items
    http://support.apple.com/kb/PH12361
    Additionally, you can instruct iTunes to search and download artwork from the iTunes Store. To do so, click File > Library > Get Album Artwork
    Thanks,

  • I can't get album artwork to show on my iPhone. It downloads when I sync but no show.

    I can't get album artwork to show on my iPhone. It downloads when I sync but no show. Am I missing something in setup. My other iPhone shows the artwork. I might be missing something but they appear to be set up the same. The wife's works, mine does not.

  • Can't get all how to get album artwork when all help options didn't work

    help - how do I get album artwork when all itunes help options didn't work

    Other is usually around 1 GB...
    A  ' Large Other ' usually indicates Corrupt Data...
    First Try a Restore from Backup... But... if the Large Other Persists, that is an Indicator of Corrupt Data in the Backup... Then a Restore as New is the way to go...

  • Can't manually add album artwork through iTunes 10.5 on an iPhone 4s

    Ok, heres the deal - (and this is a weird one)
    I have iTunes 10.5, windows xp and a new iPhone 4s. I am missing multiple album covers so I just find high-res ones on google and save them in preparation of manually adding them to the album via iTunes. The way I do this (and have always done this) is by highlighting the whole album, right clicking and going to 'get info'. Then I go the bottom right corner where it says "Artwork" and double click to open the folder of all my highres album covers. I then choose the correct album and click on 'open'. The artwork box stays BLANK no matter how many times I choose a cover and open it. So then I wait for it to sync the non-cover to the iphone...which doesnt work because its not syncing anything but it thinks it is. I then have to DO THE PROCESS ALL OVER AGAIN to make it work. Generally it finally takes the album cover after the 2nd time. Generally.
    Now heres the thing, sometimes it just hangs up on the title at the top of the screen, the status bar. It just says "Updating Files On 'Derek's iPhone' ("preparing to update" is the sub text) with the little candycane status bar running across. It may do this and hang for a good 3 minutes EACH TIME!
    So I have to go through multiple albums, one by one, manually syncing album covers 2 times in a row since it never works the first time and hope that it doesnt hang too long and just time out, which it has done multiple times before. If it doesnt work the first 2 times, then I'll try 3 or 4 times but then it will just time out, not saying any error or anything but it just wont transfer the album artwork. I'll look at my phone and the cover is still blank!
    The only way around this, that I've found, is quit iTunes and unplug the phone and start the whole process over again for EVERY. ALBUM. and btw, I have about 40 albums to do this to.
    So all this music came from cd's a while ago, I just dont want to pay for the iTunes version JUST to get the album cover since I already have the music.
    At this rate, it would take me a few months of non-stop syncing to finish.
    And on top of THAT, a few weeks back I made some serious headway on this and almost got finished to the "S" albums (listed alphabetically), checked my phone, all the covers were there. Then about a week later, plugged my phone back in and noticed that AAAALLLL the work I did in the past was GONE! I had to start over from the "G" albums. And thats where I'm at now...
    Please help
    P.S. - Of course I've already tried "get album artwork"..duh, it doesnt work. It doesnt get the right covers or horrible versions or low res or MOST times, it just says it can't find any

    I am currently having the same problem. I have an ipod touch and yesterday I finally updated to 10.5. For starters, after the update, all of the songs were gone, so I manually had to re-add them. I have about 5 CD albums on my PC that I ripepd and then added to my ipod, and about 3/5 I never had album cover issues with. But upon plugging in my ipod again today, the album covers were gone for ALL of the CDs. On top of that, when I manually change the "info" on some songs, it is updated on itunes, but not on my Ipod!

  • Get Album Artwork, doesn't work.

    After upgrading to Yosemite and downloading the 12.0.1 update for itunes, I am no long able to download artwork for tracks. Nothing happens when i right-click and press Get Album Artwork. Even tracks I have previously downloaded artwork dont work, if i go delete the artwork for something its gone, i can only add it back manually.

    Same here!

  • I can no longer get the column view since installing 12.0.1.26.

    I can no longer get the column view since installing 12.0.1.26. The only thing my iTunes for PC will not display the column view of songs any more  The only thing I have access to is the view that displays the album covers. I used the Help function, followed the procedure several times.  When I click on the music icon, the icon flashes, but does not bring up a menu as shown in the "help" file.

    1) reset the iPad. Hold power home button until screen goes black, apple logo appears-release
    2) delete the app, reinstall.
    3) wait for an update to the app
