Cover art gone weird

Just noticed this today on my 3Gs.
Album art has gone screwy.
Displaying totally unrelated artwork from my library (like the cover of a Bach album while playing Toots & The Maytals...)
And showing part of two or three covers at once.
Anyone else found this?
I have all the latest iTunes & iPhone updates applied.
The fault isn't with teh artwork as it all displays fine on my iMac & AppleTV

That has happened to me in the past as well. The way I fixed it was to unsync all music and then resync all music.

Where has my cover art gone?

hi
I have spent an age updating my i tunes collection. by that i mean, renaming tracks that had "unknown album" for them, renaming tracks, and making sure that all my Tracks had the corect cover art loaded for it. it took a long time, but it looks good. Im using i tunes 8.0.0.35.
so i sync up my ipod touch, but i have noticed that there are at least 40 tracks on the ipod now with out the cover art. even though the cover art is included on my itunes collection.
What gives?
Thanks

When I go to "get info" on any of my itunes tracks the album artwork has disappeared, leaving only a blank space.
If the cover image still appears during playback, then it stands to reason that it is not missing. How are you looking at your artwork in the information window?
In the information window for a single track, the cover image is shown in the Summary and Artwork tabs, but you add or remove images in the latter. In the Multiple Item Information window the Artwork tag appears in the Info tab and it is presented as empty even thought the individual tracks do have an album cover image embedded. iTunes has operated in this fashion for some time now.

Video cover art gone in 12.1.0.71

I have iTunes running on a Windows 7 Virtual Box. Basically this box is my home's file server. All the videos and songs I've ever purchased live there. Everyone in the family can use Home Share to stream to their Macs and Apple TVs. This arrangement was perfect until 12.1.0171.
Now when I start up I get a warning that "Video Playback is not supported on this computer" -- It never really did play well on the PC, but that's not the point. The iPads and AppleTV are where the videos get played. The annoying thing is, there's no cover art in the video library any more. Not on the actual display, and not on the iPads, AppleTV's or other devices. All the other m4v metadata displays, just no cover art. It even still streams.
So is this a problem with my install? I gather there's an "iTunes for older video cards" would that make a difference? or is this just a bug, and I need to wait for the next patch release?

Hmm, that's not an error I've seen before. Was some of your media missing post install and did you reimport it?
See Empty/corrupt iTunes library after upgrade/crash. Sadly your most recent previous library may be from the initial 12.0 upgrade last October.
Unfortunately there is no way to adjust the Date Added values or I could offer a way to export the data from an older library and reimport it into your current one.

CD cover art gone when exporting mp3

Hi. My girlfriend's home computer doesn't have an internet connection so I used my iMac to import several of her CDs to iTunes, placing all the songs on a special playlist. Then I went ahead and burned an mp3 CD. When I import the mp3 files to her iTunes there is no album artwork, the CD covers are simply gone. Is there a special way to export the files so that the CD covers are also exported? We are using iTunes 7.5. Thanks,
Cesar

Cover Art Reflection Gone?

Can't find how to turn cover art mirror reflections in new iTunes in List and Grid modes - is it gone? If it is, what a shame. It looks really ugly now.

I'm looking at a Genius playlist playing in my iTunes, and the Cover Flow view still shows album reflections underneath.

Uploaded ios5 and my cover art is gone.any suggestions

i just uploaded ios5 for the 2nd time.got it uploaded and ready but the problem is my cover art is gone.HELP!!!!

Yup, driving me mad! I use my Ipad2 for professional DJing but simply cant any more. It took me three days to re-organise all my music and albums and get all the artwork in. I made the MASSIVE mistake of clicking 'sync over wifi' in itunes and now half the album art is missing again. Every time I re-sync, different artwork appears and different artwork vanishes????
I have now wiped all my music and am re-syncing yet again to see if it works.
Does anyone from Apple exist and can explain what the heck is going on here as IOS 5 has rendered my device almost unusable for its main purpose. I have to say, I have gone from selling Ipads at all my gigs to telling everyone who comes up to have a look not to bother any more - its probably caused several hundreds of laughs already, not the kind of advert Apple wants I'm guessing????

ITunes 7.71 problem with cover art for 24 bit AIFF files

I am unable to add cover art to 24 bit AIFF files. Was able to do this with iTunes 7.7.

I think I have discovered the same problem (no solution, unfortunately, though) working with some shared files from GarageBand, which I believe are 24 bit AIFF at this point. I will have to check when I get back to the computer with my stuff on it, but at least I don't think I'm going crazy when I tried to save.
I could put artwork into the "info" area, and it would stay there so long as the track was playing, but once the track re-played, the artwork was gone. I have even synched my iPod and iPhone, and the artwork has shown there, but I have to try synching when the track is NOT playing to see if it is only capturing the artwork while it's on the file. But, I thought that was weird as well.
I will keep coming back here until hopefully a solution is posted. Here. Or somewhere. Any similar experiences, please also post. I feel better knowing others are experiencing the same or differing but similar difficulties.

ITunes is deleting my album cover art + songs -- please help!

Hello:
I am running Windows 7 and iTunes v. 9.2.0.61. Just recently, from Grid view, iTunes seems to be deleting cover art as well as songs. It seems to be chance when it happens, but when it does happen, it is always this way:
- From Grid view (album thumbnails), I double click on an album thumbnail, and the album art image disappears. I CANNOT re-add the art to that particular album after that, either, even manually.
- The album folder opens up after the double-click, and then when I double click a song to play it, it starts playing, but then I notice it has disappeared from the tracklist. I cannot select it again -- it is GONE. I checked to see if in fact the song is deleted not only from iTunes, but from my C: drive storage location, and it is GONE. DELETED for GOOD.
What is going on here? This is very frustrating, and I wonder if anyone else has experienced the same thing. Any help at all would be greatly appreciated. THANKS!

Nobody can help???? Please -- this is a VERY BAD glitch/bug/whatever you want to call it...it is permanently deleting my music!

FetchArt doesn't fetch full-size cover art

Amazon sometimes has several user-submitted cover art images, and apparently FetchArt is grabbing the first available. But this image is not always full size. I'm using FetchArt 1.1.1 (I can't get the updated FetchArt to install - puts a red arrow on all my drives).
I'd like to get the full-size image (manually drag n drop from Amazon is fine), but I can't seem to get rid of the small image FetchArt originally got for me.
I've thrown the original in the Trash, and manually gone to get the image I want, but the original small image keeps popping up as the default for the song/album in question. Even when I just go through the songs and use the arrow at the top of the image window to select the preferred image, things still default back to the small size image.
Anyone know how I get rid of the small image, and get iTunes to default to the larger, preferred image?
Thanks

Cover art lost in Finder

Since installing iTunes 9.0.2, I have no cover art in Music/iTunes in Finder.
The cover art exists in iTunes but not in Finder, there I get a generic iTunes folder with the music note.
Now, if I choose a tune in iTunes and choose "Show in Finder" a finder window comes up and all the songs in that folder populate with the correct icons in the Finder window. But once I close it and open a new Finder window, they're gone again?

Some of the cover art I added separately because it's from CD's. Others, I've used the feature.
it was just an idea. i can't recreate the problem - all my artwork displays correctly but i have always embedded artwork manually as a rule.
all i can offer @ this time is that you're not alone with this:

Burning and cover art

How do you add a cover art to a song that is gonna be burned to a CD? I have tried burning a playlist with cover art in each song but when the songs were burned the cover art were gone. Help on this would be very much appreciated.

Why can't I resize my movie cover art. I'm not blind!

There used to be a slider bar to re-size the movie cover art. It's gone and they appear to be sized for the blind!

So it kinda sounds like you got your money's worth.

HT1933 Cover Art

I keep noticing that when I purchase a song or an album, the cover art seems to be blank when I scroll through the albums. Though when I click on the ablum the cover art is back. I don't understand why it does it but it only happens on my Ipods. Though some of the cover art seems to be there but it's weird that some of them aren't. As I'll show in the image, two of the ablums I have purchased do not show the cover art when it's in this display but when selected, the cover art is there. It's not a problem or anything, I just want to know why it does that.

Thanks for the suggestion but.... it actually made the problem worse. When I went to the music tab I found that the "Display Cover Art" check box was unchecked so I clicked in the box and the fun began. First thing that happened was the iTunes status box displayed "Deleting covert art from iPod" (definately not what I would have expected) for about a minute then it changed to "Optimizing cover art on your iPod" (that seemed like a step in the right direction) but then I got an error message saying "Can't sync iPod. Unknow error". Closing out the error message ended the process. I was able to eject my iPod after that without any issues but now even more covert art doesn't display (even though when viewed through iTunes its there).

Missing cover art in album section

My problem is pretty basic. My cover art for some of the albums I've uploaded do not appear when I click on the albums section. They also don't appear when I click on the artist and then pick an album. When a song plays the alblum cover art appears. I've tried clearing it and then placing the cover art back on but it does not change. What can I do to resolve this?

This seems to be a bug in the 3.1.x OS. When I updated to 3.1.1 I noticed the same thing where only some of the small artwork icons for albums are missing in the Album or Artist menus. No problem with Now Playing or Coverflow, just the small icons. The problem persists with the 3.1.2 release.
I've removed and re-loaded affected albums and still have the problem. I've even gone as far as resetting and restoring my 2G Touch (for other reasons) and still have the problem, so I believe this is a firmware bug (so nothing you can do).

Most cover art disappeared after syncing

I just put a few more CDs onto my iTunes, and after I synced my iPod, all the cover art except for the few CDs I just added disappeared from the iPod. It's all still in my iTunes though. All pictures for video are gone too, but my photos still work fine. (The iPod is a Classic 160 GB)
Thoughts? Ideas?

I was having a similar problem. For me it happens only with ripped tracks not available through iTunes. My solution was to uncheck “Automatically download missing album artwork” on the General Tab under Preferences.
Once I unchecked it, the disappearing covers stopped happening. Although it was an intermittent problem, it's now been 5 months since I changed it and I haven't lost any artwork.
This solution also has one obvious drawback. While iTunes purchased music is still downloaded with cover art, once you uncheck the "automatically download missing album artwork" box, music you rip and then import into iTunes won't have cover art. My take is I'd rather add cover art once when I import a song, then constantly have to re add random batches of artwork.
All I can figure is that when you have "get artwork" checked, iTunes goes through your library and replaces all artwork added by hand because it doesn't recognize either the file type or naming convention. For the most part we don't notice it, but when it hits a song it doesn't own the rights too, blam, gonzo.
Further proof that iTunes doesn't recognize or like the hand added cover art is that I had a song that iTunes automatically downloaded the wrong cover art for (van halen 1 instead of 2). I fixed it with the right cover from Amazon but I noticed it changed back to the wrong cover about a week later.
I have a couple of blog entries about this problem that go into further detail, check them out here:
