Can't fetch Album Cover Art from Store, allthough Album exists!

hi everybody!
I have a title in my library that I want to get the cover for from the iTunes Store. It is definately available and I named it exactly after the one in the store (album, title, artist, genre...)
But iTunes refuses to load the cover...it says "unable to find 'xx - yy' "
Any clue?

Well, I have some good news... and some bad news.
The bad news first:
Some time ago, I spend quite some time trying to get the artwork for the Lion King SE. However, if I managed to get a cover at all, it was only the original release, not the SE. I ended up scanning the artwork myself (something that has become sort of a habit anyway). I posted the cover on Kerry Shetline's Album Art Exchange (http://www.albumartexchange.com). You can get it there. The quality is ok, although it's the english version..
The good news:
After trying a bit, I found the right 'combination' for your New Year's Concert:
Set 'Artist' and 'Album Artist' to: Wiener Philharmoniker
Set 'Album' to: New Year's Concert 2008
Hit 'download artwork' and presto!
You can change the artist and album field back to what it was after you downloaded the artwork.

  • Before I was able to transfer Cover Art from on-line sources to albums that iTunes didn't have (even when many of these were purchased thru them!) now I can't. If it still possible how do I do so?

    Hey Two Wolves,
    Thanks for the question. Yes, you can still add your own Album Artwork to music in iTunes:
    iTunes 11 for Windows: Add artwork to songs and other items
    http://support.apple.com/kb/PH12361
    Add artwork to music and video
    Do any of the following:
    - Add artwork to one item at a time:
              1. Select an item in your iTunes library and choose File > Get Info.
              2. Click Artwork and do one of the following:
                        - Click Add, select an image file, and click Open.
                        - Drag the art file to the artwork area.
              3. To add artwork to another item, click Next or Previous.
    - Add the same artwork to multiple items: Select the items, choose File > Get Info, click Info, and drag an image file to the Artwork area.
    - Retrieve album artwork for songs in your library from the iTunes Store: Control-click the songs and choose Get Album Artwork from the pop-up menu.

  • IPhone 4S, iOS 8.2 update, iTunes album cover art missing

    Hello,
    I just updated my 64GB iPhone 4s to the new iOS 8.2, after reading online that it addressed issues with previous iOS 8 updates.
    Everything on the phone seems to work fine as far as I've found, but the album cover art for almost every album isn't coming over.
    I know this may sound insignificant, but it is the fastest way to look up music, especially when on the go.
    I have all my album artwork included on iTunes on my laptop.  Previous to this update, all album covers came over to iPhone.
    I just did the update to 8.2 last night (March 9, 2015), and synced my iPhone with my laptop to update my music catalog.
    First time it didn't bring the artwork over, so I re-synced and tried again.  Our of the 474 albums currently on the devise, album artwork came over on 58 albums.
    Has anyone else identified this issue?  If so, were you able to find a solution?
    Thank you.

    This has happened about 2 other times since updating to iOS 8.3.  I have an iPhone 6 Plus (128 GB).  I am able to retrieve the album artwork by removing the music from the device and then syncing with iTunes again.  This is a hassle, though, as I have 12,000+ songs that I sync to the device.  Album artwork hangs around for about 2 weeks and then mysteriously vanishes again.  So I have finally given in and will wait until the next software update and then hope for the best with another remove/sync cycle after the update has been applied.
    Bush league, Apple.  Bush league.

  • I am unable to update my album art since I commenced using match (and after upgrading to Yosemite).  How can I 'unembed' old cover art and replace?

    I am unable to update my album art on my iMac since I started using Match (and after upgrading to Yosemite 10.10.3).  A message advises that it's not possible to removed old artwork if it's embedded.  How can I 'unembed' old cover art and replace?

    Normally artwork recovered with iTunes is stored as a separate artwork file and iTunes refers to that file to display artwork when you click on a track.  However, if you then copy the file to another player the artwork file is left behind and the track will not display the artwork on the other player.  To get around this it is possible to embed the artwork in the music file itself so it always travels with the file.  Artwork can be embedded by you or files from third party sources may arrive with embedded artwork.  iTunes apparently now won't replace artwork for such files.  You can accomplish this by completely deleting artwork for a file or set of files in Get Info, then getting iTunes to fetch artwork which will then be set as a reference file rather than being embedded.
    I use an old iTunes so unless you are using an ancient iTunes it won't help for me to give you great details.  To erase artwork I simply get info on a series of files and check the box next to the artwork box without adding any artwork and close.  To do it for  single file I Get Info, go to the artwork display tab and click delete.  Here's a Windows reference for a newer iTunes (but the "old Get Info" reference is for early iTunes 12 and no longer works with newer):I cannot delete embedded album artwork in iTunes 12

  • Can one share album cover art between WMP and iTunes?

    I am regularly using Windows Media Player as well as iTunes (the latter mainly to fill my iPod). All my albums (well-organized in subdirectories) contain a file "folder.jpg" (which is the standard unser windows) containing the album's cover art.
    iTunes apparently goes off and tries to download the cover art from some server and then stores it in its own setup under .../My Music/iTunes/Album Artwork/..., but obviously isn't very good at that, since it finds only maybe 20% of the covers, the rest remains empty. Is there a way to tell iTunes to pick up the cover art from those folder.jpg files?
    Ideal would of course be, if the two could share these files (i.e. pointing to the same file (e.g. using NTFS hard-links). Is that possible? Does anyone know a tool or script that does that automagically?

    {quote}Is there a way to tell iTunes to pick up the cover art from those folder.jpg files?{quote}
    No. You can work around this by using another program like Mp3tag to embed the artwork from folder.jpg into the ID3 tag. Despite its "mp3" name, Mp3tag will also work on AAC files.
    You cannot use hard links because the iTunes artwork files are not simply picture files. The pictures are embedded in some other (undocumented of course) ITC format (I say ITC format because that is the file extension -- I have no idea what it means). Also, you would have to figure out the folder structure.
    Another option is to use an external program to "trick" itunes into downloading the artwork from your own server. See these threads/posts:

    After the IOS7 updates, when we are viewing music videos on my phones I can no longer turn the phone horizontal to see a bigger viewing of the video. I can only see it widescreen in vertical mode which is much smaller. Now when you turn it sideways, it pops up album cover art and I hate that. Is there a way to fix that?

    We are just users like you and don't know why Apple does what it does. This is not a place to "vent," it is a place to ask technical questions. As of now there is no way to change or modify the way these folders appear in Windows Explorer. You can provide feedback to Apple about this issue at this link: http://www.apple.com/feedback

  • Can I add my own art work to my albums in iTunes and/or share them with the Apple Store for downloading?

    Can I add my own art work to my albums in iTunes and/or share them with the Apple Store for others to download?

    Thanks Brij011
    I thought that there was a way to do this. However, it would be neat to be able to upload correct Art Work for album covers so that other could share instead of having to scan / take picture and then import. I guess Apple would be inodated with incorrect pictures if we could upload to them.
    Oh well... thanks again !

  • Album Cover art

    I like the idea of being able to browse using cover art but it is only a useful feature if you can get most cover art . There are many albums for which iTunes has album cover art, albums which I own original copies of, for which I can't get album art.
    Examples: Sigur Ros /Saeglour, T-Bone Burnett /True False Identity, Paul Simon/ Surprise, Graceland, all of Van Morrison's albums, most Dylan and Neil Young albums and many others.
    Apple put this feature on I Tunes, but many album covers which you show on the Itunes store website don't download. I have both checked "automatically download missing album artwork" in preferences and requested Get album artwork in the Advanced Tab . If I control click on the album artwork on iTunes store, I can't even copy the image to paste it in manually. Also, when I request album art I often get an "unable to download certain artwork " message with no further explanation. If I'm supposed to buy the album art I'd like to know how and how much.
    What's up?

    The spelling was ok since almost all were entered using gracenote. Anyway it suddenly started working. without changing anything I could tell I asked again to get album artwork from the Advanced tab and it started downloading 400 album covers. whatever. So my problem wasn't answered but it is solved. thanks for the google image search idea. So I guess I'll mark it answered.

  • Where is my album cover art?

    I've been using iTunes for years. I've used it to manage the large CD collection that I had before the creaton of the iTunes store.  My collection now contains CD's that were purchased after the store opened.
    In earlier years, the cover artwork for my CD's for the most part was supplied by Apple.  I also used All Music and Amazon in cases where Apple did not have what I needed.
    I've just installed version 11.1.2 of iTunes.  I've discovered - again - that many of the album artworks that I had before the uprade have disappeared. I suspect that is because the album is no longer available in the iTunes store. I can understand that - if the album is being purchased now.  But why does Apple strip from iTunes the artwork that I had BEFORE the upgrade?  That doesn't seem fair.
    There is another issue that is a part of this topic.  Earlier versions of iTunes had an option whereby I could search for album artwork through the iTunes software.  That seems to have disappeared. Why?  Must I now go through the laborious process of locating album cover art on my own, CD by CD, even though I had the art before the software upgrade?
    This is really annoying. Over and above the unfairness of it all.

    When album art is downloaded, it is stored locally, The iTunes store has nothing to do with it after that. It will appear even if you disconnect from the Internet altogether.
    Aside from that I have no idea why some artwork disappeared.

  • Importing album cover art

    Hello
    It is a mystery to me why iTunes cannot import some album art and can others, where album covers for items as common as Abbey Road or something by Radiohead, aren't found. How do I import cover art from, say, Amazon? I see one can "copy image" from Amazon but I'm totally unclear as to how to load into iTunes. Any advice or direction would be greatly appreciated.
    Cheers

    If iTunes doesn't find album art automatically, it either means that your tags don't match theirs exactly, or there's an error in their database. When that happens, just Get Info on the songs you want to add album art to, and drag any JPEG (some other formats work as well) to the blank Album Art panel. You can find album art online at Amazon, Wikipedia, or just via a Google Images search.

  • Lost Album Cover Art

    When you download music from iTunes, you also download the album cover. I ended up wiping my hard drive a few months ago due to a virus, and had backed up all my music, but lost the album cover art. I would like to back them up, but I don't know where to look. Where are they stored in the computer?

    OK in windows media player, it will pull the album art up, but it doesn't attach the art to the song, instead it hides the art in the system and attaches a series of numbers to be ID. In iTUnes tho the art is attached to the songs tags.
    Now there may be some program you can find on the net that will automaticly do this for you, I have no idea but heres how to do it manually.
    Now the art work will reside where the song is. Since most music is put in the "My MUsic" folder i'll focus there, but if you have songs in another folder there artwork will be in that folder with them. Open My Music folder and goto tools>folder options>view tab Now check "Show Hidden Files and Folder" then UNCHECK "Hide Protected Operating System Files" You should now see all the album art listed.

  • Missing cover art from iTunes on iPhone

    Some of the albums on my iPhone (bought via iTunes) are missing their cover art. On my iMac all the albums in iTunes have their cover art. When I sync the iPhone on my iMac, the cover art doesn't update on the iPhone! The iPhone iTunes cover art used to be there, some of them were even bought from iTunes while on the iPhone.
    Can anyone please please let me know how I can update all the cover art for albums on my iPhone?

    I remember reading about something similar on the AT & T forum, http://forums.wireless.att.com/cng/board/message?board.id=apple&message.id=94023 &query.id=478736#M94023

  • IPhone 4S iOS 5.0.1 Album cover art STILL missing

    The album cover art IS in my iTunes 100% but only a few of the album covers appear in my new iPhone 4S updated to 5.0.1 and re-booted several times.
    HELP please as I USED TO use album cover art ti help select songs to enjoy.

    Sounds like memory leak - basically the code for an app or program is not getting the message that it needs to terminate its operation, so it continues to run in the background (even if you remove it from the multi-tasking tray when you double click the home button).  This is probably preventing your iphone from entering its "idle state" or "sleep mode".  This would result in your standby and usage time being almost identifical.

  • IOS 5.1.1 my album cover art is mixed up?

    After installing the latest iOS 5.1.1 in my iPhone 4S all the album cover art is mixed up when I add new albums. It seems to pick any random album cover, rather than syncing the correct one from iTunes.
    How do I fix this, or is this a bug in 5.1.1 ?

    After some testing with an ipad pre 5.1 and an iphone and ipad at current patch level it appears this is a problem with the latest ios update. Hopefully they fix it soon.
