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:

How Can I sync iTunes album artwork with album folders on my Mac
Small Issue,
I just got a new macbook pro and uploaded copied the iTunes music folder from my PC, to an external hard drive then to the "music" folder in the Finder on my Mac. I then went into iTunes and added my library via the "add music" link (or something like that)
All the music upload and most of the album artwork was missing. I clicked "Get Album Artwork" and it replaced most of the album artwork
Here is the issue I need help with...
Some of the albums, which have album artwork inside iTunes, do not have album artwork if I go to the album folder in the finder. Is there anyway to get this artwork to sync up with the folder?
I ask because, I am kinda anal and like the artwork to show up if I play a song from the spotlight (I like playing music that way)
Am I going to have to manually add the album artwork into the finder folders?Hi bill,
Here's an Apple Support article that tells you how to restore your IOS device from a previous backup on iTunes:

Hope this helps!

Why can I not see album artwork on my iphone but I can on itunes
I have downloaded album artwork onto itunes, however some of it is not downloading onto my iphone. How can I get the album artwork onto my phone?
On the right hand side of the itunes store - there is a link under "quick links" to "purchases" where I can find all the books and music I have purchased through itunes. That way if I have loaded something from itunes using my phone - I can then go and download it onto my PC later (or that is how I use it).
BUT - while music, movies, TV shows, Apps & Books are available for download - there is no audiobooks option. So, I have these purchases of audiobooks through itunes, but I cannot find them in my purchases history. I have tried to manually sync these audiobook purchases from my phone to my PC, but it would not let me. And the last time I tried to sync my audiobook library between my phone and my PC - (loading these new purchases from phone to PC) it wiped my phone purchases and I had to go back to apple with all the purchase receipts to get them back.
I would like to be able to load audiobooks purhcased on my itunes account onto my home and work PC from the itunes purchased database from my account (or from my phone if someone can recommend a safe way to move the file).
Thanks for asking. -

If not in the iTunes Store, iTunes uses the Graceland database for artwork and tag info. -
Can I merge or combine 2 "album artwork" folders? I have saved music onto an external server from 2 computers but the artwork that I have manually imported remains in the default folder in the music/itunes/"album artwork" folder on their respective PCs.
i.e. artwork uploaded on one PC won't apppear on the other PC because it is saved locally...
I'm confident that i won't beable to just merge the 2 because thy'll have the same folder names.
On the same note: can I have iTunes create these files on the external server/Hard drive also so that either computer can use them at the same time?
(like I have my library- can the other files be saved remotely)
Thxi'm using iTunes 10 BTW

i have noticed that the album artwork on itunes installed on my phone is missing some of the album artwork when i go to the "album" section of itunes in my phone. How can i get the album artwork to show up
first of all, no one is going to respond to this becuase limewire is used basically in your situation illegally. But let's say you import a cd, left click on the songs you imported and hit get album artwork, if nothing comes up, the album sn't in the itunes database, get it online. And I suggest never to mention limewire and music files on the same post here, since limewire is a file sharing program. Use Itunes, it's easier. theo

Hi there c_varisco_pr!
I have an article here that I believe will help you get this issue resolved. This article can tell you how to report an issue with your purchase to iTunes, and it can be found here:

I can't download complete albums from iTunes with my iPod.
I can't download complete albums from iTunes with my iPod - only singles. If I want to download an entire album I have to do it with my computer and then connect and sync my device. Can anyone help me and tell me how I can download using my iPod? Thank you.

Viewing non-embedded itunes album artwork over network
hi
i am exploring the two methods of adding album artwork to itunes, embedded and non-embedded. my preference is to go for non-embedded, as my artwork is quite large (500Kb), as is my collection (20000 tracks). i would like to be able to view album artwork on my ipod as well as over my local network. at the moment i can't see any album artwork over the network if i use the non-embedded method - is there any way of getting this working? i can see the artwork if it is embedded, though of course coverflow doesn't work over the network at present (shame). i can only see the artwork in every track if it is embedded in every track though, which means a lot more capacity is needed on my local drive for increased file sizes (500kb * 20000) = 10GB. this isn't such a big deal on the local drive, but 10GB extra on the ipod is of course a lot of space to use for artwork. i could settle for not having album artwork on the ipod, but if it is embedded in each track then i don't have the choice but to transfer it onto the ipod (i think i've got this right). at present i am using the 'lossless-AAC script' to convert from apple lossless to AAC for the ipod, but there doesn't seem to be any way of stripping the artwork in this process, or ideally reducing the artwork to a reasonable size for the ipod. as i understand it, when i use the non-embedded method, itunes sends a small version of the artwork to the ipod. ideally i would like a similar method for local artwork, rather than artwork downloaded from the itunes store.
i am used to using a PC, and J River Media Center as my media player, which had a much better method of handling artwork. you could store the artwork in each album folder and it would be recognised automatically by the media player, without embedding, and a smaller version would be sent to the ipod. this non-embedded artwork could be recognised over the local network, and you could even have multiple artwork which would play as a slideshow in full screen mode. i am hoping that itunes will work towards such functionality, but in the meantime would like a way of at least being able to view my artwork over my local network, ideally in fullscreen mode, using cover version visualisation, without embedding into each track if possible, but if i have to embed, without all the artwork being transfered to the ipod.
thanks
nick.Wait, are you saying that your album art is 500k average for each image? That's a little crazy, unless you're projecting the album art on a wall or something. You might want to run the images through some jpg compression to get them down to 70k or so.
As for getting non-embedded art on seen over the network, it's not possible right now. You might want to request this feature for a future version of iTunes. -
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 -
ITunes Album Artwork Problem. Help?
I recently installed iTunes onto my new laptop, and the album artwork for all my songs comes out slightly discolored, in that it is a hue of pink. What's even stranger is that the album artwork seen on the bottom left corner shows the artwork in it's right colors. I've tried to calibrate the colors on my screen in my settings, but nothing seems to be working. Oh, and my new laptop is running on Windows 8. Help?
P.S. Don't mind my choice of music, I was helping my little sister put music on her iPhone :3Here's the Apple article on that
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1815
The important line is "If the data matches, iTunes will download the album artwork".
What it doesn't say is, "if the Apple database is wrong, you'll get the wrong artwork".
Try getting the correct cover for +Led Zeppelin I+ - impossible. They had Mothership listed under Lead Zeppelin for a while.
I agree with the other comment; just get those 40 covers from somewhere else, rather than find out how it is listed in the Apple database. -
Can you download itunes to an asus transformer?
Can you download iTunes to an asus transformer?
iTunes doesn't sync with any players other than Apple's own. Music, though, is in industry-standard AAC format, so if your Android device supports AAC, you can use whatever procedure it uses to place the music onto the Android. The track files will be located in the iTunes folder, organized (unless you changed from the default) by artist and album.
Movies, due to the required copy protection, cannot be played on any device or player other than Apple's own.
