Compatability Problem with Album Art and iTunes in Vista?

Hi there,
I have album art for all of my music which I have added myself. (I prefer to do so instead of iTunes doing it for me.) However, after purchasing a new computer using Vista, I've encountered a problem.
When I drag and drop my music into iTunes, only about half of the album art shows up. The rest either isn't loaded or isn't identified by iTunes, even though I know it's there.
In fact, you can see the album art icon associated with each file when it's organized in its folder on my C: drive. But again, for some reason, much of it isn't loading when I open the files into iTunes.
I never had this problem using XP. Is it a compatability issue or is there a simple fix I'm unaware of? I'd really appreciate any help!!
Thanks,
Michael

Alright, my apologies, Chris. I don't think I explained myself clearly enough. The files are embedded with the music (these are the same music files that worked just fine in XP.)
The artwork isn't separate from the actual music file. When you click on the actual music file, you see the ICON associated with the file, and it's the artwork. I suppose that's just a new Vista feature.
However, I embedded all of the album covers myself, and again, they worked just fine in iTunes with XP. But for some reason, only about half of the album art is being recognized by iTunes even though it's embedded into the actual tag.
Thanks for any help you can provide.

Problem with album art in iTunes 7!

Ok I tried doing a search for this topic and came up with a lot of threads that didn't really answer my question so if this has been asked, my apologies....
The problem I'm having with iTunes 7 currently is that I go into the iPod Preferences and I un-check the box to include Album Art on the iPod to remove all artwork and then check it again to restore artwork. Now what happens is that iTunes does remove album art from the iPod but when I check the box to restore artwork it doesn't do crap! I did this exact thing several times to no avail, all of my album art that formerly was on the iPod is now gone and I can't get it back on despite the art being in the tags in iTunes.
***?? Why is this not working, what am I missing here? If I'm not missing anything here and I find out I gotta re-install or do some weird funky thing with iTunes to get the album art to work I'm going to be majorly disappointed with this crap of a release! Please tell me it's just me and that I'm not doing the right thing to restore my album art to the iPod!

I have the same exact problem stated above. Since the v.7 release, my album art displays incorrectly on my iPod. The strangest thing is that my device never displays the same WRONG album art twice - it's always something different. The other day was very interesting...every single song I played displayed the same exact album cover. Today at least the art is changing around a bit but still, the art is wrong! Wow. I reset my iPod and started from scratch - nothing happened. I feel like my iPod is on vacation. "Oh, you want art? Hold on...How about this one? No?...ok...How about this one?." If you can hear me Apple, please fix this.

Problems with Mail, Safari and iTunes after updating to 10.5.6

Hi all,
after installing 10.5.6 I have problems with Mail, Safari and iTunes.
The time to open mails, websides and iTunes store is increasing dramatically since the update. If I open a webside parallel with Safari and Firefox, Safari needs minimum 15 times longer to open the complete side. Mails containing HTML-code also needs a long time to be opened. Tha same Problem with iTunes store. Connecting to the Store costs at least 30 - 40 seconds. And unfortunately for every iTunes store side I open. Its terrible
Any idea or workaroung to solve that problem?
Regards
Michael

First, run Disk Utility and repair permissions and then restart.
I installed the 10.5.6 Combo update. Sometimes things get "lost in the translation" when you use Software Update depending on your installation. Perhaps you can download 10.5.6 Combo from the website and install it from your desktop.

Problems with album art!!!!

I had previously added album art to my 8 and a half thousand tracks on my 60gb video ipod and last night while syncing I got a unknown error of -50 and I lost all of my album art from the ipod.
I went into my prefs in Itunes and switched off display album art, re synced the ipod where during the process it said it was deleting album art. I then went to prefs switched back on album art and proceded to update the ipod, but again I got the same error.
there is 1.5 gigs free on the ipod.
Any ideas?

Make sure everything is up to date...
iTunes
iPod Updater
Updating iPod's Software
If that doesn't work, you may need to restore the iPod...
Restore the iPod
And reload everything.

There are dozens of CSS attributes that can (and have to) be handwritten. Trouble with them is that, like text shadows, they don't appear in all browsers. I have nine different browsers installed and test pages in ALL of them before I "finish" building site or page for a template.
I try to build for Firefox, out of personal preference for it, but I have to do things that work with IE because it still holds the market share (46%IE to 42%FF), and I will only go with designs that work in IE, FF, NS, Opera, Safari, and Chrome.
As to your questions.
1. The compatibility check is most likely current with the time of the build. I don't know if that component updates as browsers do, but I'd tend to think it doesn't. I'm using CS4 and there haven't been any updates for it in nearly a year. Firefox has released 4.0, Opera released 11, and Safari released 5 since then. The updater would have found and downloaded something if it was available.
2. I could only guess. Text shadows DON'T show up in design view (or in IE) but they do in browser preview. It's just a UI quirk, and it means "trial and error" is the onyl way to get what you want.
3. The quick-selects which are in DW dropdowns or popouts are the ones most common to CSS designs and have been proven to work with all browsers at the time of release of your particular build of DW.
Hope that helps..

Yahoo mail tells me to upgrade Safari but I have the latest version of Safari 6.0.1 Is there a compatibility problem with Yahoo mail and Safari?

Yahoo mail tells me to upgrade Safari but I already have the lastest version of Safari. Is there a compatability problem with the Safari 6.0.1 and the latest version of Yahoo mail?

Since Yahoo is web based email, the compatbility issue is on the Yahoo side, not Apple.
You can access your Yahoo account without having to use Safari.
Open the Mac Mail app. From the menu bar click Mail > Preferences then select the Accounts tab then the Account Information tab.

Problems with Album Art flow

I have Windows Vista, and it's on an excellent machine, (for example) I can run Oblivion on the highest graphical specs with no lag. However, my iTunes cover art, or my album art is slow, even when there is no album art. I tried reinstalling itunes and I've tried searching the internet for help, but I haven't seen any answers.
Does anyone know how to fix this?

I have the same problem and I don't think he's talking about the loading time for the library to show up... I have 6982 songs, around 20 videos and around 500 pics. It always worked fine and cover flow was very fast. I still have the same number of files but itunes is sluggish and even video playback gets chopped. I updated my iTunes to 7.5 from 7.3.2.6. to try to fix this. I installed directshow video codec package and I'm not sure if that was what caused the problem in the first place or meybe a new install of Office. I uninstalled all codecs and new plugins in my system. What could it be?

Problems with album art copying to ipod touch

I got a 2nd generation ipod touch for christmas and am having some problems with the album art. I have all of the album art set up in itunes, and when I right click on a song and tell it to 'get info' it shows the album art picture fine (in my itunes library as well as in my ipod's music library), but when the song is actually playing on the ipod the screen is just blank. It isn't just the white background with the music notes like a song with no album art at all, it's just a black screen. When I flip the ipod sideways and browse through the albums all of the album art shows up except for a few which are blank as well. Anybody know why this is happening? Another weird thing is that the album art will show up for maybe one or two songs in the album, but the vast majority are just showing a blank black screen with no picture. Anyone else having this problem?

"And now I can't get rid of that cover w/o deleting the whole songlist."
are you sure? if you go to either album info (right clicking on the album in grid view) and double clicking in the album art section, you should be able to use any picture you have saved on your machine by navigating to that picture. OR right clicking individual tracks, then get info, and going to 'artwork', and then deleting it there (you might have to delete them all individually, but it beats having the wrong art there)

Problem with album art... Please help

Hello, I put all my album art on all my songs which took forever last week. I updated my ipod last week and everything was all right with the album art on it. I updated it today, but now, all my album art on my ipod the same picture. On itunes, though, the album art is correct. How can I fix this without having to re-do my whole library!?? I updated my Ipod software and downloaded the latest itunes. Please help me.. Thanks so much in advance...

The easy quick thing to do IF the album art work is correct on iTUnes, is to just reset the iPod by holding down the center button and menu, if that doesn't work use the latest iPod updater (2006-03-23) and just restore it
Restore will wipe the iPod clean, but you can just sync it again with iTUnes and have everything loaded back on and hopfully with the correct art

Problems with album cover in iTunes

I have created several songs in Garageband using my own instruments. I added these to Itunes. I also created an albumcover. But I am not allowed to add image to the songs or the album. The image tab is greyed out. Anybody know a quick fix. I have tried to copy and paste, but the image is not showing.

I'm having a similar problem.
Every now and then, a track from a ripped CD or from iTunes or from eMusic will "look" OK in iTunes (or on my iPod), but when the track plays, it gets partially through and it jumps to the next track in the playlist.
For example, if playback of track 1 pauses and jumps to track 2 at 1:30 into playback of track 1, & I click on 1:31 or later in track 1, the rest of track 1 will play fine. But if the playback of track 1 starts at the before the "skip point," the track will stop & iTunes (or iPod) goes on to the next track in the playlist. If I locate the file (on my external drive) and play it in the finder, there's always buzzing sound at the point where the iTunes jumps to the next track.
For ripped CD's this is not a huge deal, I just re-rip & usually all is well. With eMusic, I can download again, but with iTunes, I have to file a complaint & so far they've just credited my account, which is OK, but time consuming.
At first I thought the problem was with my optical drive, but then the problem started happening with downloads from iTunes and eMusic as well. NONE of these shenanigans happened before I upgraded to iTunes 7.6, so I'm wondering if that's where the problem is. One thing's for sure: I'm not going to "jump" at the next upgrade of iTunes!
I'm totally stumped & bummed. iTunes used to be a really good friend, now I find myself wondering if I should bother with putting my entire CD collection on iTunes if it's no longer as reliable as it used to be.

Problem with album art on apple tv 2 since IOS 5

hey
since i installed ios 5 on my ipad and apple tv 2 i have the problem that my album artwork does not appear starting from song 2 of the album
when i airplay with my ipad, the first song of an album has album art, starting from the second song, the album art suddenly dissapears

I have the exact same problem also - very frustrating given that it was working perfectly before I updated to IOS 5. strangely enough, the artwork displays for the first track you select within each album, so if you create a playlist and select one track from each album this would display the album artwork correctly and no problem exists. If you decided to skip from track 1 to another track within the album the artwork is not displayed? I have an iPhone which works fine when I use this to play music through apple TV so for me the issue is with the iPad update software and it must be a glitch or error in the recent update. I would really appreciate any tips to fix this issue as it bugging the **** out of me!!! Apple - get yer finger out and fix this!!!

Album art and iTunes Store Sign in other countries

I live in a small country, I don't know if we will get able to access the store some day but something like the album art could be available to everyone, I don't get why the restriction to only store accounts.
1. Make it available without the sign-in
or,
2. Create a sign-in without the option to purchase in order to use this new feature in iTunes in all the other countries that have no store available.
Mac OS X (10.4.7)

If you can find the cover art you want online, you can just tell iTunes to forget the artwork for those songs and add the art you want manually.

Problems with windows 7 and itunes

I purchased a new computer which now has windows 7, I am having a problem with iTunes sync my iPod. I have installed iTunes 3 different times and it still wont sync my iPod touch. I have the first version of the iPod touch, I am out of solutions on what to do I don't want to have to lose all my music, pics and apps.. Any suggestions on what to do and how to fix this problem thank you!

Have you tried transferring all of your purchases?
To do this, plug in your iPod with iTunes open. (if it starts to sync, let it). Once it's done syncing, keep your iPod plugged in. Go to "File" at the top of iTunes and find "Transfer Purchases from iPod". Click that. It should start transferring everything from your iPod into iTunes. Once it's done transferring, sync your iPod again (just to be safe). Once it's done syncing, unplus your iPod and check each tab on the navigation bar to see if your stuff has transferred and synced (For example, if you transferred music, click the "Music" tab on the left navigation bar, for apps, click "Apps", etc.)
This worked for me when I couldn't figure out why my stuff wasn't transferring from my iPhone to iTunes by just syncing. I have to transfer purchases every time I download a new app, song, book, etc. Hope this helps!
