Cover-images gone

All album-cover images have recently disappeared from my iPod for a reason I don't know, though they are still shown on my iTunes window. The only cover-images on my IPod are from the two albums I bought yesterday. I also just used the "Receive album-images"-function in the "Advanced"-menu to get images for some of the albums I got with CDs. But the cover-images of all the older albums I bought from iTunes won't show. I suppose I may have accidentally turned off some option or something. Any ideas?

the only idea i have is to go into your library, hit select all (command a on a mac or control a on a pc), right click (or command click if you have a 1-button mac mouse), and hit get album artwork. once it's done, sync your ipod.

Album cover image missing in Itunes

Itunes added most of the album covers I have in my music library but some are still missing I have gone to google.com and clicked on images then searched for album cover images, chose a cover and saved to my desktop, but the image will not paste. What am I doing incorrectly? I have recently upgraded to I'11

Thank you, I found the answer on "More like this..." The step I was missing was clicking on file, then get info...I was able to paste my image.

What is the required book cover image size for ePub?

Hi all
I am trying to follow the insturcitons in the Publisher Setup guide for uploading my ePub file to the iBook store. Having gone through this process with Amazon I am gobsmacked by how unhelpful the guidance is from Apple.
It is asking me for a cover image but I cannot see anything telling the required spec for this - on Amazon they tell you min and max dimensions and what the required dpi is but (unless I've missed a whole bunch of instrucitons somewhere!) I see no such info in the guide or in the iTunes connect screens.
Can someone please help me here? After googling I found these forum pages and saw that someone had said the cover image must be at least 600dpi and max height of 740 pixels - is that right? (odd as on Amazon you only need 72dpi!)
Just in case anyone can help here too - my ePub file already has the cover image included in it - do I therefore need to separetely add this standalone cover image?
Really grateful if anyone can help on this.
Many thanks
Karen Inglis

From Apple about book covers:
JPEG with “.jpg” extension (quality unconstrained) or PNG with “.png” extension
RGB (screen standard)
600 pixels minimum along the larger axis. For an average trade paperback, this could be 400x600minimum size, as the books are generally taller than they are wide.
Covers may not reference pricing, the physical edition, or include any other wording that may notnecessarily be true for the digital edition.
Yes, a separate cover file is needed for display. My experience is if you have a cover for Amazon that is 600 px or greater on the longest side, you are fine with Apple.
Step back and take a breath. We all go through this the first time.

Podcast Cover Image & Recent Podcasts Not Appearing

I know this question has been asked before, but I can't seem to get the Podcast Cover Image to appear on my client's iTunes podcast page both within iTunes and on Apple's iTunes website. When I'm subscribed to it, it does show up. What am I doing wrong?
Additionally I'm having a problem with my last 3 podcasts not appearing, and I can't figure out what happened there.
Below are links to the page on Apple site and the feed I'm using, but please let me know if I need to provide more. Any help would be greatly appreciated!
https://itunes.apple.com/podcast/living-grace-lutheran-church/id348311926?mt=2
feed://livinggraceomaha.org/lg-sermonpodcasts.xml

Your feed is OK, except that most of your episodes do not have 'guid' tags, and your enclosure tags are missing the 'length' attribute which should show the file size in bytes. Neither of these is serious and they would not cause a problem.
The Store does go through slow patches sometimes: there have been numerous occasions when people have complained about not seeing updates for two or three weeks, and I'm afraid that you've probably just hit one of these. There isn't really anything you can do about it. You could try emailing them at podcasts 'at' apple.com, but frankly you are likely to get a form answer telling you how to add episodes (which you already know). I'm afraid that it's just a question of waiting.

InDesign CS5.5 EPUB export not showing cover image in Adobe Digital Editions

I have a document that I am trying to ensure is reflecting the cover image prior to uploading to several EPUB sites like google and Barnes and Noble. I am using Adobe Digital Editions, Calibre, Firefox (EPUBReader) to do the troubleshooting on the document. Calibre shows the cover image Adobe Digital Editions (ADE) does not. Are their any known problems with ADE not reflecting the cover image that I need to be aware of before I continue working on this?
The ADE help says the following:
"Once the items are in your library, there are two ways to view the content of any bookshelf. You can view thumbnails of your items. The thumbnail is the cover page of the item (or just the first page if it doesn't have a cover page). In this view, you see the set of thumbnails and some information about each item (author, title). You can also sort the order in which the items are shown by author, title, date created, number of pages, and so forth."
Here is basic informaiton. I have a cover page in my export to EPUB but ADE will only show the first page. Again Calibre shows the cover page.
CS 5.5
The project is a book (indb) composed of multiple documents (indd)
Exporting as book as an EPUB
On general tab I am "Use existing image"
I am rasterizing the first image in Indesign via the "Object - Object export options" but I am not selecting that option when on the general tab of the Export to EPUB options. I am chosing a file from my disk. I thought that maybe the file name was too long but I changed the image to "cover.jpg" and reexported it but it still does not work.
Here are the contents of the content.opf file with all the pointers. I have updated the file as I believe you can tell with guides, creation date, etc....
It passes the SIGIL check.
The image name is Democracy in Business Dust Jacket 300dpi.jpg. It is 300 dpi and 1650 x 2550. I could also cut in the one that I did for cover.jpg but it only replaces the file name.

I have also been trying to get this cover image to display on PC for NOOK but it appears that everyone is having hits problem too. I have followed some trouble shooting guides and renamed the jpg image, Democracy in Business Dust Jacket 300dpi.jpg to cover.jpg but that doesn't seem to work either for NOOK.
Any help you can give would be appreciated. I am new to InDesign (I know you probably hate hearing that, but I have gotten so close to being done overcoming all the new user hurdles). I think this is my last one before uploading to the appropriate sites - PS. I got the cover page to show up on the Kindle but not Adobe's own product.
Thanks

ebookjunkie, I have just used InDesign to publish two very short "books" (.99 cent variety) and started this thread with the first question. Look to Bob for the expert advice. This is neophyte advice from someone moving from publishing a full book using Word to EPUB/Kindle and now using InDesign to publish to EPUB/Kindle.
First ADE is useless. I say this out of frustration of trying to use it to troubleshoot problems and it has so many problems in displaying an EPUB that you spend a lot of time troubleshooting ADE issues rather than EPUB problems. The problems are not limited to but won't display a cover page properly, text wrapping is iffy, Drop caps a problem, bringing over supported items like drop caps, all small caps, etc.... are also issues as best I can tell. Humble opinion is delete off your desktop. I use the following to troubleshoot my EPUB's/Kindle books on my Windows platform; Calibre, Barnes and Noble's Nook for PC and iPhone iTunes for EPUB (Sigil to look for errors); and for Kindle, Kindle previewer and Kindle for the PC. Even after doing this, I just today saw my book a buyer's Android "Reader" and the pictures did not display at all. So it is publish once and test everywhere! Unfortunately, you just can't test all the possible devices and iterations of readers. (I am from IBM and we couldn't do it, so how publishers are supposed to figure it out is beyond me!)
On the absolutely great news end, you will see a lot of problems about placing images on the iPad with a lot of workarounds. They apparently (Apple) have fixed this as my two publications show images nicely now on both the iPhone and iPad with the iTunes bookshelf/reader. They were "microdots" when viewed previously. I did nothing to fix it and was just not going to publish to the iPAd and just tested them a few weeks ago and they display perfectly. So Apple has fixed the problem. If it looks good on the Nook for PC, it should look good on the iPAD/iPhone now as best I can tell.

How can I change the default cover image in iTunes?

Good evening everyone!
I've scoured the web for this info but can't seem to find it. Is there a way to change the default cover image in iTunes to one of my choosing? You know the one I'm talking about right? The transparent CD cover with the musical note in the middle of it... the one that shows up when iTunes can' find appropriate cover art for your music. I have another image I'd like to use instead, as I've never liked the default image at all. The one I have to replace it is an image of a blank CD case. Kinda cool and would look infinitely better than the default in my opinion.
Has anyone done this before? If so, can you describe to me how it's done, or point me to somewhere on the web that describes how? Many, many thanks in advance Have a great weekend!!!

I understand what you mean - I too, would like to see some variability in the 'default'. Besides having a single default, I would step that up to a default that changes with genre and media: ie. I could see using a sax for Jazz; a microphone for a Podcast, etc.
I don't have the answer to your question yet, but I think I'm going to crack open the iTunes package to see what default images there are embedded in there.

Gallery title text cut off and cover image not updating

Hello,
I've been struggling with this for a couple of weeks now, and it's driving me mad. I've been making a book in iBook Author on my iMac (10.10.2). When I preview it in iBooks on the mac it all looks fine, but when I send it to my iPad2 (iOS 8.2), which I do via dropbox, the front cover image reverts to the default for the template I choose, and gallery and interactive widget title text gets cut off (see attached pic) regardless of the size I make it, or the indent I specify.
I've tried deleting the book several times, restarted the iPad, and whatever I do it still appears the same.
I'd be grateful for any suggestions.
Cheers,
Kev.

Hi Christine,
When you say " It's not there when viewed outside of Cp/swf. Using v5.5.l", does that mean this problem only occurs in a specific output?
Try this -- Go to preferences-- SWF Size and Quality and under customer, uncheck Advance Project Compression, republish the course and check the results.
Thanks,

Embedding "album cover" image in a video podcast file

I've created a video podcast and successfully submitted it to ITMS. The issue is that the individual episodes of my video podcast do not have cover art images associated with them. Instead, when I test subscribed to my video podcast, it generated an "album cover" for the podcast in a seemingly random fashion. For the first episode, it grabbed a still frame from second 6 of the .m4v file. and for the second episode, it grabbed a still frame from second 11 of the .m4v file.
So, I thought I would go into the .m4v file via QTPro and create an image metadata association like is done with ID3 tags in .mp3 files. However, I cannot find a away to do that.
Does anyone know how to embed an "album cover" image into a video podcast file (.m4v file)?
If I add an image to the file via iTunes Get Info>Art Work tab and then export it back to my server, will the added image stay embedded in the .m4v file so that when others subscribe to my video podcast they will see my selected "album" artwork for that episode?
You can view my video podcast at http://phobos.apple.com/WebObjects/MZStore.woa/wa/viewPodcast?id=83434502

Super Mario:
You were correct. Adding album artwork through iTunes "Get Info>Art Work" tab and then exporting my video podcast file back out to my server did the trick. I tested subscribing to it and this time my video podcasts had the album artwork that I selected attached to them.
Also, thank you for the compliment on my sci-fi video podcasts. I'm currently working on a major overhaul of the website which will serve the fans of the series (if any). You can check it out in about two days at http://www.sayremedia.com.

Cover image is not shown in explorer

Hi guys, I've already got a new lap which runs W7 ultimate (x64) and Adobe Reader X 10.1.3 but the cover image (the first page) of PDF fiels is not shown in Window's Explorer. Any hints?.
Thanks in advance,

try to flush the image.
   image.flush():
   g.drawImage(image, 0, 0, null);
or try
   Toolkit.getDefaultToolkit().prepareImage(image, -1, -1, null);
    g.drawImage(image, 0, 0, null);
If the image isn't displayed, just try a new paint after a while (for example after 1 second).
Another way is to implement the ImageObserver interface who can announce you with the imageUpdate() method when the entire image is loaded:
   public boolean imageUpdate(Image img,int info,int x,int y,int width,int height)
     if(info & ALLBITS)
       //the image is entirely loaded....
   }

My cover image is bigger than the rest of the document created in word. How can I fix this?

I'm working on creating an ebook. I created my cover in Canva and downloaded it as a jpg file. The rest is in word. When I combine the two into a pdf file though, the cover image fills the screen and the word document shrinks. The whole goals is to have everything the same size page since it will be read on ereaders. How do I fix this?

Best and easiest fixed in Word. Place the JPG on a new page 1 of the Word document, scale it there.

How can I modify the cover image of an album in my Ipad ?

I have bought an Ipad Mini 3 and when I synchronize the Ipad with ITunes,
the first image in the album in Iphoto is not the cover image on the Ipad.
so how can I choose the cover image of an album in my Ipad ?

I haven't expressed my problem clearly enough.
I have 3 Ipads and Iphones which I synchronize via the Itunes app of my MacBookPro.
The Iphoto albums are well organized and the synchronization of the first two Ipad (Ipad mini 3 and Ipad 2, bought in France) is perfect,
but with the same adjustment when I synchronize the new Ipad (Ipad mini 3, bought in the USA) the images are all disorganized in the albums
and the cover image in Iphoto is not the cover image in the Ipad.
thanx for your help.

Ibooks changes the dimensions of cover image

I have been working on an epub using Calibre as the converter platform. I have used the program in the past and it always works until now. I am working on a new book and the cover image dimensions are changed in iBooks. The image looks correct when I view it in an image viewer.
I have revised the cover image several times to change the dimensions, change the file size, modify the pixel count. The current dimensions are 1500 by 2400 pixels which is a size I have used before. The file size is 226kB. Any suggestions on how to get the cover image to show up correctly?

You don't think it would be that hard to get ACR to better match the in-camera engine...
I understand if its not able to read the "special" in camera user settings, such as increase saturation, etc as that may be proprietary...
But it (ACR) already knows what type of camera you are using... It would be nice if Adobe would make it at least set to better match the out-of-box camera settings per camera... it would be a much better starting point than the flat, discolored images I see, IMHO.
Example... the reds in my Rebel XT RAW's always come up orange, both in LR and ACR.

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

paulbe wrote:
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.

Cover image missing, but was there yesterday

Hi all,
I scanned through most of the answers and didn't find a situation like mine.
- Created a new podcast through libsyn
- Created an RSS feed & submitted it to iTunes: http://barbwired.libsyn.com/rss/
- iTunes accepted the show: https://itunes.apple.com/ca/podcast/barbwired-marketing-podcast/id664961697
- Cover image and episode images were showing up yesterday
- Today, only the episode image is showing up. The cover image is missing.
Any ideas or fixes?
Thank you,
e.

Your image in your feed looks good.
http://assets.libsyn.com/content/5798411.jpg
IT is a jpg image with RGB color - 1,400 x 1,400 pixels.
So all looks good on your feed side.
If you look at your show at - https://itunes.apple.com/ca/podcast/barbwired-marketing-podcast/id664961697 - via a browser it does show the image.
But on iTunes app - it is not showing.
As Roger says - this looks to be an issue with iTunes not behaving well.
If you do not see it back in iTunes app by the end of the day on Monday let me know.

Error code 2.23 Cover Image Fix.

I am looking to upload the 768x1024 cover image in my DPS App Builder on the Newsstand page to fix the 2.23 error code. Orginally it was asking for 192 x 256 .png for the Newstand cover image.
Program won't let me replace the HD image with a SD size image that is 768 x 1024. Am I supposed to be updating with SD front cover images elsewhere? And not replacing the front cover HD image with a SD within the Newstand part of the build in DPS App Builder?
Can someone point me in the right direction? Thanks so much.

Replace the folio cover images. Select the 2048x1536 rendition in the Folio Builder panel, open the Folio Properties dialog box, and specify 1024x768 images. Also, make sure you 1024x768 images are small (jpg or 8-bit png, not 24-bit png).
