Can't Display My Album Covers on My New I Pod Photo?

I just got my I Pod photo and downloaded about 6 albums from cd's. I can't get it to show the album covers.

You need to add the album art.
Use something like this...
iTunes Art Importer

Can i use my album covers as a screensaver

MAybe an idea for the next version (7.0.2?) of Itunes, to ensure that you can have your own album covers collection as a screensaver on your computer?

Actually, there is a way to limit the amount of space Time Machine uses for backup so that it won't eat up all your disk space...for example, I have mine set to only use 65GB, and then it starts to overwrite older backups...Google it for more info. To begin with, I deleted my Sparse Disk Image Bundle from Time Capsule, and used Disk Utility to create a Sparse Disk Image Bundle (turn off backups first!!!) with a capacity of 65GB in HFS Journaled, Case Sensitive...The Image must be named as follows "Full Computer Name_Ethernet MAC Address" (The ethernet MAC address is used even if you plan to solely use wifi for backups). for example, my Sparse Disk Image Bundle name is "Ahmad Atiya's MacBook Pro_00254b9d8f72.sparsebundle" Move this image to your time capsule's main directory (if you didn't create it there to begin with). Go to your Time Machine preferences, turn it on, and set it to use your Time Capsule. It should start using the image you created. If you click "get info" on the disk image, it'll show a capacity of whatever you created.

Why can't I view album covers in cover flow?

When I click on the cover flow view setting, itunes says "iTunes is unable to browse album covers on this computer" but I can see the album covers in iTunes in different views. How do I change this?

Have a look at this article in the Apple Knowledge Base and let us know if it solves your problem.

The album covers on my new downloads are wrong on my iphone, but correct on my itunes account, how can i fix?

The new AC/DC I downloaded has Adele and Aldo Nova (current songs on my iphone) as the album covers, how can i fix them to the correct ones. In my itunes account they are correct, just not on my iphone 4s.

So I purchased Navigon app on my iphone 4 with my iTunes account id then got a new iPhone 4s and signed in with the required Apple ID and now Navigon app does not recognize me as its owner. When I try to restore purchases I make on the app it tells me to buy it first. The problem seems to be it defaults to my Apple ID when I am asked for a password and does not give me the option of using my iTunes account ID and password which is what I used when I purchased the app. HELP?

Webdynpro application can't display a URL iView in a new External window

Fellow developer:
In my WD4A application, I called the method 'navigate_absolute' to display a URL iView in a new External window.
The code is as follows:
data lo_portal_manager type ref to if_wd_portal_integration.
call method lo_portal_manager->navigate_absolute
exporting
navigation_target = 'ROLES://u2026'
navigation_mode = '1'. ('0' - Displayed in the Same Window, " '1' - Displayed in a new External Window)
The application can display the iView in the same Window (navigation_mode = '0'), but cannot in a new External window (navigation_mode = '1').
In the iView properties, the following attributes are set to:
1. Launch in New Window - Dipslay in Separate Window
2. Open iView Links in New Window - Yes
If you know the answer, please advise.
Thanks

How can I display all album art of my library in iTunes

All my music tracks in my library contain the respective album art within their ID3-tags and it is perfectly displayed in the lower left corner window when I select or play a track.
What I really would like to do is to browse through my library using the album art, not the text-based endless lists (title, album, interpret, genre etc.), then click on a cover, see the tracks and select one.
Is there a feature in iTunes already that can do that or a plug-in somewhere in the market ? (I do not need a tool that collects album art like eyejamz, but a tool to display the art I already have)
Thanks a lot for any feedback

Bakergirl,
You can use iTunes to remove the beginning or end of a song (or both) by setting the Start and Stop times.
But to remove a section from the middle and keep the rest, you will need an audio editor such as Audacity.

Scrolling display of album covers in iPod main menu.. gone

Hi,
My subject heading does not really make it clear what my query is- it was hard to think of a subject heading that would be self-explanatory! So here goes:
The problem itself is not crucial to the functioning of my iPod, but slightly puzzling. In the main iPod menu (i.e the one that has the headings 'music', 'videos', 'photos' 'podcasts' etc) there has been a puzzling change. Previously when I went to the heading at the top of the list ('music'), there would be a 'scrolling' display of the album art for the various playlists I had synced to my iPod. Now, it does not appear at all.
As I mentioned, hardly the problem of the century, but it was a nifty little feature and one that I liked. (I should add that once I have selected a playlist to listen to I do get the album art for that particular playlist).
Does anyone know why it has disappeared and how I can get it back? Many thanks in advance to anyone who can help.

It's not a fault, it's a feature...
That's the way it has been since the Classic line was introduced, you just get the grey podcast logo of a person and three concentric(ish) rings.

I can't see my album covers!

For certain songs and albums, all I get is a completely black image. (At other times half of the album image is shown, but the bottom half is completely black.)
I have the actual album artwork and it shows on iTunes, but I'm not sure why it will not come up in my actual iPod!
P.S. I have a 16GB iPod Touch, Second Generation!

I'm with you. I have had this problem ever since the transition to 4.8 and 2.2. It is clear that loads of others do also. I pay for music from iTunes. I download much of it now directly to my iPod. When I sync, the artwork disappears.
That is not what I paid for, and is not why I have an iPod Touch. Apple has to be aware of this problem - it's all over the internet - yet they do nothing about it. This should be a fix that appeared immediately, not as part of some larger OS update.
Worse, the solutions you get when you post the problem are identical to the ones in this thread. Not that I don't appreciate people offering advice, but checking my settings or cut/pasting artwork are unacceptable solutions when I paid what I have for this garbage.
It seems as if a Microsoft culture has taken root at Apple.

What happened to viewing album covers in the new iTunes?

It seems to have disappeared, not under View or any other menu item. I liked having a large image of an album cover, rather than the new microscopic version. Has it gone for good? If so, how can I revert to old iTunes?

See this thread, too:

For people who care about album art, this is a disaster.

Can't delete some album artwork & put in new album artwork

When I got this new iPod (had an older one, pre-color) I used the feature that loads album artwork for you. Fine & dandy, except some of the artwork it found is wrong, wrong, wrong. For instance one of them says "Pure 80s!" which is not the original album's artwork (although, yes, it is an 80s song). I cannot for the life of me get rid of that album cover even though I "delete" it and put the correct album cover in it's place. Any help on this, or am I stuck with "Pure 80s!" instead of the real cover art from the original album the song was on? Argh!! (been trying to fix this intermitantly for several months). This is just one instance, there are several others like this and it drives me bonkers because I'm kind of anal.

Let me clarify one thing. When plugged into the computer & itunes, the album artwork IS correct. When I disconnect and the ipod is on it's own, the artwork is INcorrect.
Also, I don't sync because I use my laptop which doesn't have enough memory to hold all my music. I do load everything onto an external harddrive, but that is incase of a catastrophic emergency and the whole thing needs to be redone.

How can I see my albums in list view on itunes 11.1.5

I used to be able to see and sort my albums in list view. With this latest release all I can find are my album covers. I want to see them in text, and sortable by name, artist, etc as I can with songs. I've checked Show List View for All Media in my preferences. Thanks for any help with this.

I believe the closest you can come is look at your songs in Songs. There you can sort by albums.
The album view does not contain a list view any longer.

Disappearing Album covers with iPod Photo

I have an iPod with photo, and I am experiencing something a little odd. It seems that, if I go for a while without docking the iPod, it will stop displaying the album covers. Dock it, and they return. Anyone else experience this, or know the reason?

If your iPod is set to update automatically then try this:
1. Connect your iPod
2. Disable "Show Album art" in iTunes>Edit>Preferences>iPod.
3. Syncronise the iPod with iTunes. (Disconnecting and then reconnecting your iPod will do the trick)
4. Re-enable "Show Album Art" in iTunes>Edit>Preferences>iPod.
5. Syncronise the iPod again.

Album artwork - itunes cannot find some album covers?

iTunes says that it cannot find album covers for some albums, some examples being - "ok computer" (radiohead). any ideas why this happens, and how i can resolve would be appreciated !
thanks.

iTunes will only download artwork for albums that are on sale in the iTunes Store. I don't believe OK Computer is available through iTunes. if you can't find the album covers you want from iTunes you can get them from various other sources. I find this site is a good source of artwork: CD/Album Cover Art Search from SlothRadio.
Another place for finding suitable artwork is to go to Amazon. You can also locate artwork using Google image search and put the artist or album name. Locate the album from any of those sources, right click on the image and save it to the desktop, once it's there drag it to the iTunes artwork pane. Once you've added the artwork you can either delete the original file or keep it in a folder somewhere in case you need to use it again. Alternatively there are programs like these that help locate artwork: iTunes Art Importer or MP3 Tag
If you have a scanner you can create your own artwork files by scanning the CD cover itself, this is particularly useful when you are dealing with rare recordings. You'll get information on adding artwork manually and automatically at this link: iTunes 7 for Windows - Adding artwork to songs and other items

Iphoto-I inadvertantly created a smart album. It has captured all recent photos in it I want to delete it but need to know if this will delete the same photos in their albums?

iphoto- I accidently created a smart album which is capturing all current new photos. I put them in their own album but I can't delete them in the smart album. Can I delete the smart album without losing the photos in the other albums? larrybksfld

Yes you can delete the Smaert Album. It will not delete the photos.

Doesn't display album covers for individually selected songs. Why?

I just synced up my new iPod Classic and am surprised that it doesn't display album covers when I individually select songs or when it shuffles songs. The artwork is there - it displays them in Cover Flow or when I select songs from the Album list, but not when I select songs from the Song list or when it shuffles. Why not? Is there a setting I need to fix?

You're adding the artwork incorrectly.
Instead of selecting the first track of the album, select the complete album. Then select File/Get Info and answer "yes" to the "multpile items" question. The Artwork box is now on the Info tab instead of its own tab. Paste the artwork into that one box and that will add it to the whole album.
I can't be precise about the detail, but as far as I know, there will be one piece of artwork and iTunes and your iPod will refer to that one picture for each track, so it will not be taking up extra storage space.
Pasting the artwork into each track individually will drive you crazy - and I suspect it will take up extra space.
(If fellow "discussions user" tt2 adds to this post, I'm pretty sure he will confirm {or not if I'm wrong} what I've said about the extra space used if you paste into each track individually.)
