I transfered videos from iPod to iTunes on Windows 7 PC but album art won't show up, even when I choose to find album art

I just installed iTunes 64 bit on my PC with Windows 7. I transfered my movies from my iPod Classic but no album art on any of them. I even try to find album art but nothing. I've downlaoded a couple of music albums onto same PC that I downloaded previously on iPad and they have art but not the videos I just transferred from iPod. I also can't play any of them on PC. I keep getting the no Quicktime message even though I downloaded QT. Any ideas?

I'm having the same problem, except I dont have itunes match enabled.
I synced my ipad and unchecked all my albums to remove them. Then I re-synced with the albums selected. They went back on WITH the artwork under 'artists' but then for some reason the next time I sync, some of the artwork under 'artists' is gone leaving only a music note for the cover.
It also has nothing to do with the cloud backup as I have experienced this with both backing up to the cloud and to my mac.
strange.......

Why is it that Itunes can't find album art for "North" by Elvis Costello and others

Why is it that from all the albums in my Library itunes can not find album art for:
"North" by Elvis Costello
"Viva la Vida" by Coldplay
and "Old Yellow Moon" by Emmylou Harris and Rodney Crowel?

Earl,
For iTunes to find the art, it needs to match exactly on the Artist and Album Text. Minor issues like spacing or punctuation can prevent the match, as can a misspelling like "Crowel" for Crowell."
Look in the iTunes Store to get the exact text, fix the tags in the corresponding tracks, and then try again to "Get Album Artwork."
If that still fails, just grab the correct art off the web, and paste it into the Artwork tab.

ITunes not Finding Album Art (Which Does Exist)

For reasons that I have been unable to ascertain, iTunes cannot find album art for some albums that I have ripped. The art does exist on iTunes--I've done a search and checked. The song text matches; the album title appears to match; but iTunes politely informs me "Artwork could not be found."
This is not due to the fact that these are songs I have ripped myself; iTunes has found plenty of other album art for tunes I've ripped myself. Something else is going on. A couple of examples for folks to chew on:
Godzilla - Blue Öyster Cult - Don't Fear The Reaper: The Best Of Blue Öyster Cult
Mirror In The Bathroom - The English Beat - Beat This! The Best of the English Beat
Freeze-Frame - J. Geils Band - Freeze Frame
The Healer - John Lee Hooker - The Healer
There are plenty of others; that's just a sample. Any advice would be appreciated.

Hello,
so there's no way of adding new covers to iTunes by drag and drop to the left bottom box??? I have to add the cover with +I only?
I've tried yesterday to add the covers with a simlpe drag and drop into the useful bottom-left box.... It didn't work... C'mon Apple!
It kinda *****...
PS: Adding covers via the new "import cover from apple store" fonction doesn't work as well. Youth bugs I presume

What is the absolute best program for finding album art? [free]

I would love to have one of those free programs that automatically finds album art and lyrics, for mac or PC, but what is the best one?

This is for Windows, it's free, and pretty simple to use.

Can't Find Album Art (Music)

Last month, My Itunes can get album art from the itunes automatically when i click "Get Album art" or something like that.
But last week, I change the my music directory on windows(i really dont know if this is the cause of the problem) and now i cant get any album art. I tried searching but i cant seem to find the answer so i post my problem here.
I dont want to manually find an album art in Amazon or in any music store and put it there.
Cant anyone help me? by the way, im usign the latest version of itunes.
Thanks

When you changed the directory, did you (or iTunes) move the actually music files? If you see little exclamation points and fail to be able to play the music in iTunes, this is probably your problem. You cannot update disconnected files.
You may also want to assure you are logged in to the iTunes store and that you can view the store? Maybe you have a firewall program like Zone Alarm blocking access?
Did you change anything else on your machine or install other software since the last time you were able to get album art that might be causing the problem?

Cant get album art after converting from wma

After convertong old wma files into itunes format, clicking on get album art initiates the process and it seems to go through each album retrieving art, yet picture never appears. Any ideas?

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.

Trouble finding album art

find it strange that itunes can't find quite a bit of album art.

I find it particularly weird when you're staring at the album in the Store and you wonder what you're doing wrong that it can't find the album to give you its cover art. I'm having that problem right now with Madge's "Ray of Light". She's staring right at me in the Store but the art just won't download. I've tried retyping every field. Couple of other albums giving me fits too, but this one is particularly galling.

ITunes (iMac) can't find album art

So about a month ago I finally took the plunge and switched from PC to Mac. I have an iMac, running Mavericks, and itunes 11.
I also have a Time Capsule, and when I moved my itunes library from the PC I put it there, both so I wouldn't clutter up my new hard drive and also to allow it to be accessed by other devices. I've had some trouble getting itunes to use that location as its default, especially after a reboot.
Itunes has lost a lot of the album art that the PC had. I moved everything from my PC, including the album art, which was in its own folder in the itunes library. And anyway, this is all stuff that should be accessible on the online database, since that's where it came from originally. I didn't scan in any jpgs or anything. When I go and look in the album art file folder it's all just folders inside folders, and I don't actually see any files.
So, what's the deal? Is it confused because these cds were inported by a PC? The songs play fine. If I put in a cd will it grab the metadata without my having to re-import the whole thing? Not keen on doing that.
This isn't a disaster or anything, it's just annoying. It's easier to scan my album list when the cover art shows than when half the albums show a gray box.

When you changed the directory, did you (or iTunes) move the actually music files? If you see little exclamation points and fail to be able to play the music in iTunes, this is probably your problem. You cannot update disconnected files.

Do we have to find Album art on our own.

When using Windows Media player I put a CD in It checks the ID3 Tags gets all the Songs names and the Album Art and puts it in the corner.
Why doesn't iTunes do this, it gets the names automatically But not the Album Art ***?
So far I've been adding album art per album
And I still Haven't seen a Simple Tutorial Online on How to Drag an Drop 1 Album Cover PIc and have iTunes see it for every Song of that Album, I've had to do this one song at a time.

Apple will only provide artwork for music you actually buy from them - otherwise they are opening a huge can of worms providing you artwork for a CD of your own.
I use Amazon.com, and drag and drop the album artwork from there to provide the artwork for my iTunes.
To update a whole album at a time, simply shift click all tracks of that album, then drag the artwork into iTunes - it updates all tracks with the album artwork.

Cant Get Album Art..

So I go out and get a 15 iTunes card for my account so that I can get Album Art. And this is what I do:
Select all songs, right click and get info, check artwork, press ok. When thats done and goes through, select them all again and go to Advanced > Get Album Artwork then I click Yes or OK. Then it doesnt do anything? What am I doing wrong? Thank you

Ok so I didnt know that you had to add the music to your LIBRARY in order for it to get artwork. Well I did that its all gravy, but when it says getting album artwork x out of 368, does that mean it found 368 albums of artwork or just found it for 368 songs? Thanks
Also one more thing, since I have to have any song go through my library in order to get album artwork, is there anyway to disable iTunes automatically adding songs to my library once their downloaded to my PC?

Cant find albums in source pane

I thought I remembered that in the past when I created an album in iPhoto I could then find that album in the source pane. when I want to find a specific photo to upload (or attach or whatever) I need to find it by going through 2007 then the roll then one of the hundreds of pics in that roll. did apple get rid of the album organization in the source pane or am I totally overlooking something. Thanks for your help. andy

Check out my Post above detailing how to get pics from iPhoto.
You simply never need to get them via the Finder.
If you use Mail, Eudora, AOL or Entourage you can email from within iPhoto.
If you want to upload pics to somewhere - or use Web Mail - simply select the pics you require and go File -> Export and iPhoto will export copies. Want to export a whole album? Select the Album, then apple-a will select all the pics. Export to a folder on the Desktop. Upload from there - and that's much faster than rooting around in the Finder - for a start you're always attaching from the same place. Afterwards, when your upload is done, trash the pics on the desktop, they're only copies.

Why can't iTunes find album art when it is showing in Media Player?

I am new to iTunes, having previously used windows media player. What a disappointment. The sooner Apple get back to being a niche plyer the better. In Windows media player, every one of my albums has the artwork on it. Import to iTunes the crock of **** can't find the artwork for 71 albums. Not just a handful, 71!!!
I had heard that iTunes doesn't like compilation albums from a friend, several years ago. No problem in media payer - but in the bag of **** that is iTunes, my compilation albums (shop bought CDs) are listed as separate albums i.e I have 20 albums all called "the best of New Wave"!!!
Finally before I sell my iPod back on to Ebay, I tried to import my MP3s to the Touch. Not enough room (I knew that) so opted to select which Albums I wanted. Now I have 250 albums, so do you think some overpaid ******* in Apple might have thought that folk would like to "select all" and then de-select the albums they didn't want? No...let's make it really irritating and get people to MANUALLY select each album, one by Fxxxing one. This really is the dark ages.
Finally, for some reason, some of my albums (again perfectly intact in Media Player) have been split into two. In Media Player you can drag tracks from one album onto another to create the whole album. Is this possible in iTunes? You know what, don't even bother answering, because I'm done with iTunes.

Cant find album in Itunes

I recently got a new ipod and i went to load my songs from the old one on and the albums that i purchased on Itunes, one is missing? where did it go? how do i get it back?

This happens if the file is no longer where iTunes expects to find it. Possible causes are that you or some third party tool has moved, renamed or deleted the file, or that the drive it lives on has had a change of drive letter. It is also possible that iTunes has changed from expecting the files to be in the pre-iTunes 9 layout to post-iTunes 9 layout,or vice-versa, and so is looking in slightly the wrong place.
Select a track with an exclamation mark, use Ctrl-I to get info, then cancel when asked to try to locate the track. Look on the summary tab for the location that iTunes thinks the file should be. Now take a look around your hard drive(s). Hopefully you can locate the track in question. If a section of your library has simply been moved, or a drive letter has changed, it should be possible to reverse the actions.
Alternatively, as long as you can find a location holding the missing files, then you should be able to use my FindTracks script to reconnect them to iTunes .
