Cover art not being loaded in iTunes 7

How does iTunes get the artwork it displays in the new cover browser? From the artwork included with the id3 tag of the mp3 file, or from the directory the mp3 file is in?
I have cover art in most directories (directories organized by album), but it is not being loaded. Does the filename have to be in a specific format? Or does the artwork actually have to be embedded in the id3 tag of the mp3 file?
Thanks.

The artwork must be embedded with each individual song, just having it in the directory doesn't allow iTunes to find it.

Cover Art Not Displaying in Artwork Tab

I am having a problem with the cover art as follows:
1. I have added cover to each song be it a downloaded song from an album or a ripped song from a CD. I did this by (a) downloading/getting the album cover art (b) copying the cover art from the ARTWORK PANE (c)selecting all songs from an album (d) selecting GET INFO for all songs in the album (e) pasting the cover art into the "common" ARTWORK FIELD and seeing said artwork therein (f) pressing OK.
2. I then went to confirm that the artwork had been added to each song and discovered the following:
a) highlight/select song --> right click --> select GET INFO --> select ARTWORK tab --> no artwork appears regardless of the amount the "size slider" is moved.
b) highlight/select song --> right click --> select GET INFO --> select ARTWORK tab --> right click --> select copy --> open Word for Windows --> right click --> select past --> cover art is displayed.
In other words, the cover art is NOT being displayed within iTunes but appears to nonetheless be present because (a) it DOES appear in Word using copy/paste and (b) it does appear in the Artwork Pane when playing songs.
So, the issue that I need hels with is whether anyone has an idea as to how to solve this issue.

Cover art not visible

On the new iTunes music library, there is supposed to be cover art shown for every album. But it's not there. How do I change that?

Oops Im sorry I slightly misread your first post, I thought you said "there is supposed to be cover FLIP art shown for every album. But it's not there"
I read a word you didn't type and thought you was talking about the "Cover flip" feratuer in iTUnes not working
I see now your talking about cover artwork not being downloaded and added to the songs. iTUnes only has artwork for songs it has in its store. Also the tags on the song have to be EXACT for the most part. FOr example....
I had the album "Missy Elliott - So Addictive" and it would not find the artwork. I knew they had to have her album in the store so I manually looked in the itunes store for her album. This is now they had it listed
Artist: Missy Elliott
Album: Miss E...So Addictive (Note the 3 dots between E and So)
Soon as I changed the album name to that (With the 3 dots) BOOM artwork came right up

Ipod touch 6.1.3 not being recognised by iTunes 10.7

Just got a secondhand iPod Touch. It is on 6.1.3 and I have iTunes 10.7 running on my iMac 10.6.8. As far as I can see 6.1.3 is supported on iTunes 10.7. I tried the Apple trouble-shooting page but to be honest it wasn't that helpful.
If I set up Home Sharing then I can Home Share using the iPod Touch...which says that I do have connectivity at some level. Just that it is not being recognised by iTunes and so I am unable to load my apps or transfer any music over.

Many thanks lllaass
I had gone through the first part without success but had decided not to go through the second stage. But following your recommendation I did just that and it works!

TS3716 ipod nano is not being recognized by iTunes.

My ipod nano 2nd generation (and working perfectly) is not being recognized by iTunes.
Any suggestions?

Does the iPod work OK?
Have you tied resetting the iPod? Nothing will be lost
Reset iPod touch: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
Next would be to place the iPod in recovery mode and then restore via iTunes. If iTunes does not see the iPod then the iPod is not usable. For recovery mode:
iPhone and iPod touch: Unable to update or restore

HT1369 Ipod touch not being recognized by itunes (but is registering as an external drive by the computer itself) have updated and reinstalled itunes, stopped/started apple mobile device and removed and mobile programs associated with my non apple cellpho

Ipod touch not being recognized by itunes (but is registering as an external drive by the computer itself) have updated and reinstalled itunes, stopped/started apple mobile device and removed any mobile programs associated with my non apple cellphone. This seems to have started happening after the last Itunes update I did as I was able to put music on my ipod touch a month or so ago. Is there some way to go back to an older version of itunes? I really have no idea what else to do since I followed every step on the trouble shooting page for windows 8.

I had this problem too and my roommate solved it!
Go to 'Settings'
'Music'
Scroll to the bottom and enter your password to log onto your home sharing
Then connect to iTunes and sync!

My ipad (mini) and ipod are not being recognised by itunes?

When connecting both my ipad(mini) and ipod(7th gen) they are not being recognised by itunes. I last connected just over a month ago and everything was fine. When I last connected I also connected my old ipod(3rd gen) to add new playlists beforing giving to someone else. When I first plugged in I got a message saying that the cable was not Apple authorised - both my cables are cables supplied with my ipod/ipad so came from Apple? When I run diagnostics it says
"Most recent devices not currently connected, - iPod Nano (3rd Gen) and iPad Mini running firmware 6.1.3" This is the first time I have tried to connect since updated my iPad with IOS7? Please help I wanted to put Christmas playlists on both devices.....!

Your computer detail provided indicates you have a Mac and the link you provided is for Windows - at least for the software conflicts portion the link went directly to, although some of the troubleshooting steps are similar.
Here is the link for OS X.

Ipod 4g 32G not turning on, not charging (on multiple cords, both comp and wall, 4 20min), not being detected by Itunes or Windows 7 64bit OS, will not reset, tried taking it out of "DFU", NO DMG, Itunes up2date, All I'm getting is a blank black scrn

Ipod Touch 4th generation 32G not turning on, not charging.
I have used multiple cords on both computer USB and wall USB converters. I let it sit there for over 20 min with each attempt.
It is not being detected by Itunes or my Windows 7 64bit OS. I have tried all 4 of my USB ports (both USB 2.0 and 3.0), with 3 different chargers.
Holding home and power button will not reset.
Tried taking it out of "DFU" mode but Itunes won't detect it, I didn't think that would work anyway.
NO DAMAGE, I have been very careful with it, aside from a few minor scratches. (that you can't even see unless the light reflects them)
My Itunes is up to date, as is my OS.
All I'm getting is a blank black screen. It has been working fine on this computer before. I have no idea what could have happened. I'm at my wits end here.

See if you missed anything here:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
- If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
- Try another cable
- Try on another computer
- If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

At present I have no power to the Gen 7, so need to get some power to it I think. I pressed the buttons as you suggested, but nothing is showing up at this point. Thank you for your response as the more I can rule out before I take it back the better I think.
