Can't see album artwork

Hi
I have imported about 20 CDs into iTunes but I cannot get the album artwork to show. If I right-click the album in cover flow there's even an option that says "clear downloaded artwork" but I can't see the artwork! Please help........

Unless you purchase the CDs from ITunes store there won't be any artwork. In iTunes go to Advanced, then "Get Artwork" (make sure you are connected to the internet) and it will go off to iTunes Store and retrieve the artwork. If iTunes Store does not have the artwork, Google the Album name and artist and Amazon should come up. Click on "Images" and there should be some album covers. Drag a cover to the your desktop and open iTunes and drag the cover to the "place artwork here" in the bottom left hand corner of iTunes. If it is a very rare cd, scan the cover and drag it into iTunes.

Can't see album artwork in finder

I am on a MacBook Pro and using OS X Yosemite. Apparently this is a common problem that has plagued many a Mac user but the fact is, lately my finder has been showing previews for everything.....except music files. All I get is that generic music note file. Has anyone else found any kind of a solution to this?
Thanks either way.

You're welcome.
Despite all those files and sub folders in the Album Artwork folder, mine is less than 100mb - not exactly a huge amount unless you are really desperate for HD space!
My iTunes music folder in comparison is about 100x larger.

How can I see playlist artwork?

How can I see playlist artwork? I know cover flow is gone (stupid decision) but can I see the small album covers at the side like you used to be able to?

At first I couldn't find what icon you were talking about. Then I clicked on a different playlist, and it appeared! This icon does not appear when you choose a "genius" created playlist. It only appears on playlists that I have manually created.
Stupid, as far as I'm concerned.
Now I see that I can't have more than one playlist opened...which I often do...
bleah

Can I disable album artwork on my OS 7 Ipod touch 5th generation from showing up in the list?

Can I disable album artwork on my OS 7 Ipod touch 5th generation from showing up in the list of song/playlist, etc?
I liked how easy it was to find songs without going thru so much artwork. I know I can do it on itunes, but can I do it on the ipod itself?

Good to hear you found the solution.

Can't add album artwork in iTunes 10.5.3.3

I just installed iTunes 10.5.3.3 and now I can't add album artwork. The Artwork tab is missing from Get Info. Any ideas?

I have the exact problem with this same iTunes version. However, I just did an experiment. It seems to be primarily limited to songs I've placed via FLAC files, which were "converted" using Fluke. Hmmm... Anyone have a fix for this?

After 7.2 can't get album artwork

Since upgrading to iTunes 7.2, I can't fetch album artwork for cds I've ripped but are available from the iTunes Store. Anyone else having this problem?

Im having this problem as well. And to further clarify, itunes is not doanloading all the cover art for tracks ive purchased through itunes. SOme albums has artwork, some do not. For example:
I recently purchased the whole Police catalog through itunes, I do not have artwork for Live!, Syncronicity, Zenyatta Mondatta, or Ghost in the Machine. previous to 7.2, I did, but since rebuilding my itunes libray this artwork will nto download, no matter if I try it manually, or have itunes sett to automatically download it.
Ive noticed as the days go by, itunes will randomly add a piece of artwork here and there for albums that did not previouosly have artwork...b ut its very random, some days I notice an album now has artwork, then a few days goes by and nothing.

Perhaps try the "Error -609" section in the Specific Conditions and Alert Messages: (Mac OS X / Windows) section of the following document:

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.

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.

Why, when on the store I can see album artwork (for an album offered) I cannot get that album artwork when I have the same CD in my collection?

I have several albums that I own the actual CD, some of those CD's are offered on the store (example: America's Greatest Hits) After downloading those CD and asking to get album artwork even though the artwork is available online the store says that artwork is unavailable. Also it would be more than helpful to allow artwork from some online sites to be downloaded like it was about 2 years ago. Since then it is very difficult to drag and pop in missing artwork.

Can't add album artwork in 10.6.3 (25)

Hi. Anyone having trouble adding artwork in 10.6.3? I have some albums I've burned onto my disk (library sits on a seperate drive), and I've downloaded album artwork from the web but I can't add it in iTunes in the 'Get Info' option. Everything is greyed out except photos in my iPhoto that I've taken. I've tried adding the photos to iphoto. Any help would be appreciated.

Hi there,
I have the same issue. So basically when I Rip a DVD into the library I am unable to update the artwork. If I purchase a movie or TV show via iTunes, the artwork is there...Its just updating for me that doesnt work. updating other information like title or sorting or Category - these all work fine.
I wanted to ask something - are all of you using a NAS for your itunes library or are some of your experiencing this with your library on the MAC or via USB? I had loads of errors with my Itunes library being on a NAS type device and the only way I fixed all my previous errors was by opening iTunes in 32bit mode - however this is now not possible.
My next test is to see if I use my Windows machine to import the move, change the artwork, then try copy that to the MAC and reimport...Mission but would be good to see if this would work.
Its very annoying and it seems we all have issues but no official acknoledgement from Apple?

I can't get album artwork back in my iPod Touch

I had to resync all my playlists, but now I can no longer see any of the album artwork on my iPod. Does anyone have an idea on how to get it back ? I'm using iTunes 8 and have the latest version of iPod software (2.2 I believe)

Thanks for the reply. I actually got it working soon after I posted my question. It was wierd, I re-synched everything from scratch, and I got the artwork back, but it didn't correspond to any of the tracks. Then I re-synched everything from scratch again...I tried one playlist at a time, and everything seems normal again.

Can't add Album artwork to certain files.

Hi, I've come across an anomaly in iTunes. There are certain audio files that cannot, for any reason update album artwork. I update album art work but selecting the file in iTunes then "get info" -> "add album artwork". But on certain files these tabs, as well as lyrics, are greyed out. The audio files are ACC 128bits. The only thing I found in common with the files that won't get album art work or lyrics is that they were encoded with iTunes 4.7. The only fix I can see is reconverting them in another version of iTunes, but this seems like a really dumb fix. Mostly I'm just wondering if there are any other people that have this problem and what fix you came up with, or what would cause a specific version of iTunes to not allow artwork.

Instead of opening the album under "Get Info" and going into the Artwork tab, try clicking on the square box with a triangle in it located on the bottom left side of the iTunes window. This will display the ablum artwork inside the side bar. Click on the top of the album artwork box where it says "Now Playing" and it will change into "Selected Item". Select a song you're trying to get the album artwork for and see what it says in the box. If it says "Album Artwork Not Modifiable" then you might have a problem with the kind of file the music is. Granted, this shouldn't be any different than going into "Get Info" and trying it there, but at least this way you can tell for sure what the issue is. If the box says "Drag Album Artwork Here" then go ahead and drag the picture there and it should work. Sometimes checking the album artwork box helps you more understand what the issue is. Hope this helps!

Can't add album artwork in newest version.

I right-click on the song name, go to info and the artwork tab is grayed out. I can't access it. I also can't drag artwork in. What should I do? iTunes can't find the artwork itself because this is my album and it's not on a label, and therefore not in the store. What can I do??
