Cover art for songs will not "save" in iTunes 7

The songs on my PC have corrected tags, lyrics and an associated picture (cover art). When I import all the songs into iTunes, many do not indicate that they have any cover art. The lyrics and the tag are ok. I used the Ctrl+i to manually add the cover art and it seems OK. When I exit the "Get Info" box, and go back into the same song, the cover art is missing, again. I also did the drag-and-drop method into the artwork viewer at the lower left. It seems to work OK too until I change songs, then it goes MIA. I have compared the jpg pixel sizes and file sizes to some that work but can't figure out what I'm doing wrong. Help!

See this thread for a (brief) discussion of the issue you're probably seeing. iTunes does not properly handle ID3v2 tags which are larger than 127 bytes (which includes pretty much any image). The reason it works when you add the album art in iTunes is because it saves the information in your iTunes Library file rather than in the ID3 tags.

  • 10 songs will not copy from iTunes to iPod.

    I have been having a problem when syncing my iPod. At the end of the sync, a dialog box appears, saying 'some of the items in the iTunes library, including "song name", were not be copied to the iPod "iPod name" because they could not be found". In total there are 10 songs that I can not copy to my iPod, they were all purchases off Amazon Music, as I had a voucher for the site at that time. When I initially purchased the songs, they were copied to my iPod without a problem, it is only recently when syncing my iPod that this has occured. If anyone could explain to me how to fix this problem, I would be extremely grateful, thank you in advance!

    Hi, zoed0775.
    Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
    If an exclamation mark next to iTunes media in your library means that either the media is missing from the computer or iTunes is not directed to where the media is located.  Here is an article that will help you locate the missing media.  I have also included a list of icons in iTunes 11 as it will direct you to the best course of action.

    If the media that is missing has been purchased from the iTunes Store, you can delete the problematic media and download it again free by following the steps below.

  • I moved some songs from one computer to another with home sharing and now these songs will not play on iTunes on the second computer.

    What can I do without redownloading the songs, since I don't have access to the first computer right now?

    Does it give a reason for why they won't play, or is that a secret?
    Downloading (using iOS or computer) past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store - http://support.apple.com/kb/ht2519 - enabled with iTunes 10.3 and newer; not all media formats are available in all countries (see: iTunes in the Cloud and iTunes Match Availability by Country - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5085); apps, books (not audiobooks), music, t.v. shows, and movies (some - not all studios have permitted this).  Downloading previously purchased movies and TV shows requires iTunes 10.6 or later.  Discontinued items not available. For items not included in the iCloud list (e.g., ringtones, audiobooks), or locations or computer systems where iCloud is not (yet?) available, you only get one download per fee paid.  Apple notes it is your responsibility to back up your purchases.
    Select the iTunes Store on the left side of iTunes.
    Click on Purchased on the right side under Quick Links.
    You can re-download your available previous purchases.

  • Synching Photo Tab for Iphone will not load in iTunes

    Hi. I cannot get the photo tab to open (it is available as a choice) in itunes 11, when my phone is connected. I am running Mavericks with an Iphone 5 with current iOS.
    I get the spinning wheel for hours with no activity, when I click on the tab. All other synching functions working properly. 
    There are no photos on my iphone to synch at this time, however I would like to synch some from iPhoto. Prior to the issue, I did have photos synching fine. I may have increased the issue by renaming the album that Iphone was directed to synch from in iPhoto. However, it was also directed to synch some faces, and that information has not changed. I am wondering if all this has to do with the mavericks upgrade and also upgrading iphoto and iphoto library subsequently. There are no photos or albums showing on the phone.
    Any ideas? Much apprecaited.

    I have tried all the this -with no success
    I am using OSX 10.9.2 all devices IOS 7.1 , iTunes 11.1.5
    iPad mini ,IPhone 5 etc. The photo tab does not load up
    I get the spinning wheel  with no activity, when I click on the tab. All other synching functions working properly
    did get error 1723 on trying to sync after clicking on the photos tab,"spinning wheel"
    please help
    Tks

  • The last 400  songs will not upload to iTunes Match and instead I get the following error:  iTunes has encountered a user-defined break point and shuts down.  How to fix?

    What gives with this message.  Any Apple reps want to tackle this.  BTW I am uploading from Windows 7 Ultimate and meet all the mininum requirements as prescribed by Apple.

    Enable the "iCloud Status" column in the iTunes Browser by pulling down View > View Options, select 'iCloud Status" and click OK. Sort on that column by clicking on it and find all the tracks that are "waiting." These you can delete from the iTunes library and the cloud, then update iTunes Match. Once you've done this youc an start adding the songs back to the iTunes library a few at a time.

    In iOS 4, you could make separate photo slide shows with separate songs.
    In iOS 5, this has changed. Now only 1 song is allowed at a time. It will not save separate song selections for each slide show.
    Is there any way to fix this? This is something I use every day.
    I am on an iPad 2, 32gb, wifi...
    Thank you

    My Photos app works the same on iOS 5 as it did on iOS 4 i.e. I can have a different track for each album. When I select a track for a photo album I then start the slideshow so that it shows the first couple of photos with the track playing - I'm not sure it's necessary to start the slideshow but I always do and it remembers that track for that album.

  • I click on one song and another one starts playing.  Cover art for one artist shows up on another album.  All of my music isn't showing up.  Please help.  Why is this happening?  How can I fix it?

    Sorry for not getting back with you...
    That moves only the iTunes media, not the iTunes library (which is really kinda nebulous).
    iTunes library = iTunes folder and all the media, wherever it is located.
    The /Music/iTunes/ folder contains the iTunes library.itl file, which keeps track of everything in iTunes.
    I do however still have the original MAIN startup drive still in the computer, it's just not the startup.
    This is good you still have it.
    Try this...
    Hold Option and launch iTunes.
    Select Choose library... and select the /iTunes/ folder on the original drive. It should be in /Users/your_user_name/Music/.
    Don't mess with anything. We can get it cleared up.
    Does everything work okay?

  • Just yesterday I downloaded the newest update for iTunes, a few days before doing this I purchased music, but after doing the update my songs will not play. It shows a message that says this file cannot be located, what can I do to find the location?

    The path C:\users\owner\appdata\local\apple\apple software update\bonjour64.msi cannot be found. verify that you have access to this location and try again or try to find the installation package "bonjour64.msi" in a folder from which you can install the product bonjour.
    Unfortunately, this sort of trouble has gotten more complicated to deal with ever since Microsoft pulled the Windows Installer CleanUp utility from their Download Center on 25 June 2010. First we have to find a copy of the utility.
    Let's try Googling. (Best not to use Bing, I think.) Look for a working download site for at least version 3.0 of the Windows Installer CleanUp utility. (The results from mydigitallife and Major Geeks are worth checking.)
    After downloading the utility installer file (msicuu2.exe), scan the file for malware, just in case. (I use the free version of Malwarebytes AntiMalware to do single-file scans for that.)
    If the file is clean, to install the utility, doubleclick the msicuu2.exe file you've downloaded.
    Now run the utility ("Start > All Programs > Windows Install Clean Up"). In the list of programs that appears in CleanUp, select any Bonjour entries and click "Remove".
    Quit out of CleanUp. Restart the PC, and try another iTunes install. Does it go through properly this time?

  • Firefox security settings will not save any of my passwords even when i click on the check box for saving passwords. please help.

    When a pop-up comes up on the screen it will ask to save my password or not, well, I click on save password but it doesnt save any passwords even when I have the check box checked for remembering my passwords for certain sites it will not save any type of passwords at all. What am I doing wrong? I am using linux-mac OS user.

    Simply because I don't think about using this option that takes more time to close... I always close ALL my windows with the X.
    Firefox doesn't hang at exit also...
    Using Firefox / Exit doesn't always save the bookmarks also... let's say there is 80% chances it will but not always... I noticed the first time I open firefox after booting the computer... Bookmarks won't be saved... But if I close firefox and re-open it, then it might save it... 50% guess...
    I tried the safe mode, but since its closing firefox and re-open it... new saved bookmarks sometimes work, sometimes don't... it's pretty unstable...
    Hopefully there is a solution to this problem in a near update, annoying... else I will simply reverse to firefox 3.6.16

    Very weird day in Firefoxland
    First on a Powerbook G4 running 10.4.11 I respond to an invitation to upgrade to Firefox 4 (like a lot of others). Long story short, I wind up losing the browser altogether -- including all bookmarks. Why? Because neither the Firefox homepage (or CNET downloads) makes it clear that 4.0 is for OS 10.5 only! Amazing!
    Then I try to register to post a reply in a thread that crits Firefox for not making this System Requirements info upfront clear. But the Register page I’m taken to (https://support.mozilla.com/bs/users/register) is in SERBO-CROATIAN!!
    Then I try to log into Chat a couple of times and when it’s not CLOSED its a long line waiting and THEN it closes.
    WOW!! Are the wheels off the wagon here or what!?!

    Since Nov update about a third of my songs have a circle with an exclamation mark inside the circle. These songs will not play on my computer. Message says  "The song .... could not be used because the original file could not be found. Would you like to locate it?"  I have reloaded these back onto itunes with my own CD collection. They work for a short while, then the same thing happens. I don't  know what is causing this or how to fix it.

    I finally resolved my problem after spending way too much time on it. I simply handed my 160GB iPod to my husband to put his fav Stones & Beatles songs on and I went back to my 80GB Microsoft Zune which has never disappointed me.
    After spending so much time trying to figure this out I did finally take it back to Apple Store who performed a diagnostic and found there was a problem with the device. They replaced it with a refurbished one which has similar issues. All I wanted to do was listen to my music. Was that too much to ask? So I am happy to be free of this problematic device. No more Apple for me!!
