Coverflow, album art, & videos

When in coverflow, the album art doesn't appear for a specific album instead it shows a video preview.

Not sure if this will be useful to you. But when I add tracks off of CD and I want to add the artwork, I do the following.
When Itunes has loaded up and once you have made sure the main view is showing Cover Flow:
In the MUSIC LIBRARY (left handside of the Itunes window). Left click once the first song for the particular album in question, next right click it, choose from the menu GET INFO, on the window that has appeared click the ARTWORK tab, next click the ADD tab and locate the picture you have saved on the PC for that particular album (you need to have downloaded this already from a covers website or scanned it and saved it).
Once you have added it and it appears in the window that I have mentioned above, you will then need to right click on the picture and choose copy.
Next you will need to left click (ONCE) the second track of the album in question, and then hold the SHIFT key and left click (ONCE) the last track of that album. You should now have the second track and all the other tracks for that album highlighted. Next we need to right click again on the highlighted selection and choose GET INFO. On the window that appears you need to make sure that you are on the INFO tab, you will see a square with the word ARTWORK above it, you need to now right click in the square and choose paste, you should see the picture appear in the square for that album, also ensure that the little box to the left of the ARTWORK box becomes ticked once you have pasted the picture, if it doesn't you will need to tick this box.
After you have done all of the above and have connected the iPhone and synced to apply the changes you have made, you need to then check (on the iPhone) to see if the cover appears correctly for all the tracks for that particular album for which you have made the changes to.

  • Diagonal lines on coverflow album art

    I recently upgraded my laptop to iTunes to 7.0 and everything is fine except that when using the "coverflow" to go through my library, every piece of album art (and the generic music note for when there is no artwork) has a very thin diagonal line through it. It also occurs when I'm looking through movies on the iTunes store. I downloaded it on my desktop and did not have this problem. Is there a way to fix? I tried to re-install the update, but it didn't fix the problem. Thanks.

    Nope. Coverflow simulates flipping through your album collection, so there should only be one piece of artwork per unique album in Coverflow. If you're seeing ten pieces of artwork, iTunes thinks "Tom's Album" is actually ten albums for some reason — perhaps the tags don't quite match?
    If you move those 700 songs into a playlist, and restore their original album names, iTunes will see them as different albums, and you'll be able to see all the cover art in Cover Flow.

  • CoverFlow album art has a black line through it?

    Anyone else have this problem? There's a thin black line running from the top left corner to the bottom right corner of all my album art. What's the deal? Can you somehow disable this?

    Good tip,
    Essentially the cover art uses the same items as playing video.
    This is a good article for generally troubleshooting, and includes updating drivers as a good step:

  • Album Art/Video Window Disappears

    I normally have my album artwork/video window open all the time so that when one of my music videos comes on I can watch it in the corner of my iMac. Now just today it took to disappearing after each song, it closes itself and I have to go and click on it to get it to open back up, and then when it does open, it shows the artwork/video with a wide border on the left/bottom sides of a still of the video.
    I haven't added anything or updated iTunes since the last update, I did update to 10.5.2, but that was the day it came out.
    Anyone have an idea as to why the window closes after each song? I would really like to be able to keep it open all the time again, or atleast have itself open on it's own when a music video starts playing.
    Thanks,
    Garrett

    *edit
    Found workaround for this problem on web.
    1. right click on itunes on your desktop and go to properties.
    2. click on compatibility tab
    3. check box for "Disable display scaling on high dpi settings and apply.
    You will get a warning when you open itunes now that display settings are now set to an older version or something like that but just hit ok....and now full screen video! Probably isn't quite as clear as it should be if apple fixed this problem (I mean come on I know there have to be a ton of us out here that use large lcds or plasmas as our monitors so why its not fixed beats me) but hey at least it works in fullscreen mode this way. The major problem with this workaround is that it makes it quite hard to see text and other things in itunes store because they are now quite small. So what Ive had to start doing is keep it on normal settings while I go into itunes, and do my searching and renting and buying videos, then close it, make the changes of the workaround and then reopen it so that I can watch in fullscreen. Yeah its a pain but it works.

  • #g: how do you display coverflow/album art ?

    Hi,
    I was just wondering how and if Album art is displayed on the 3G?
    I downloaded the same tunes that display album art on my Nano... but they don't seem to display on the 3G. Do I have to turn this feature on?
    When playing tunes on the iPhone what happens when a call is made or received?
    Thanks

    Did you turn your iPhone sideways? If so, what does it display?
    If a call comes in the music fades out and you have a display that allows you to answer or reject the call.

  • ITunes Coverflow Album Art

    Hi, I have an album of songs which is 700+ songs on the single CD (all called "Toms Album") each song has its own artwork, but iTunes has condensed this into 10 images on coverflow, even in the mini browser in the corner it still has the artwork it should do. Is there any way of forcing coverflow to show every song with its artwork rather than selecting the 10 images it wants to use?
    Thanks

  • Difficulties with Album Art+Organization

    When I import an entire album (in this case an example is the Grey's Anatomy soundtrack) most every song in this album appears in it's own seperate album category when I display my music collection with the album or coverflow view.
    Because of this--my songs are grouped in the order of the seemingly random album they are in, not in the order they were originally imported and meant to be in.
    Does this make sense to anyone? And if so I could use any help anyone has to give me. Thanks! (I can do a better job describing this if someone doesn't understand)

    Same problem here on a first generation ipod touch. Beyond the Genius mix ar replacing album art, video thumbnails have replaced album art on various random albums. And Podcast art has been missing and or wonky for even longer.
    I found an old solution to remove the art cache from an ipod but it dosn't seem to exist anymore.
    Help or advice would be greatly appreciated.

  • Cover flow into album art and how to control iTunes from another app.

    Hi all 2 areas of concen, one is coverflow/ album art and the other is itunes controller:
    I have searched but cannot find the answer to this:
    1) I have some songs with album info already, and I used iTunes to get the album art for coverflow etc. ... some songs from the same album did not have the album category filled in, I go back and fill it in: now how do I get iTunes to recognize the album art so it shows up for the newly corrected songs?
    2) In coverflow, iTunes picked the wrong album cover, can I manually fix it/pick the right one?
    3) will coverflow only show album art for those albums recognized by iTunes, or will it use album art that I get from other sources and add manually? And what will show up in my ipod?
    and lastly
    4), is there anyway to control iTunes without switching apps (if I am working in Word or safari and want to skip a song, etc)...is there an overlay controller?
    TIA

  • I transfered videos from iPod to iTunes on Windows 7 PC but album art won't show up, even when I choose to find album art

    I just installed iTunes 64 bit on my PC with Windows 7. I transfered my movies from my iPod Classic but no album art on any of them. I even try to find album art but nothing. I've downlaoded a couple of music albums onto same PC that I downloaded previously on iPad and they have art but not the videos I just transferred from iPod. I also can't play any of them on PC. I keep getting the no Quicktime message even though I downloaded QT. Any ideas?

    I'm having the same problem, except I dont have itunes match enabled.
    I synced my ipad and unchecked all my albums to remove them. Then I re-synced with the albums selected. They went back on WITH the artwork under 'artists' but then for some reason the next time I sync, some of the artwork under 'artists' is gone leaving only a music note for the cover.
    It also has nothing to do with the cloud backup as I have experienced this with both backing up to the cloud and to my mac.

  • Reset iPod = videos unplayable, album art gone?

    i'm not sure if this is supposed to happen, but every time i reset my iPod (menu and middle button) all my videos disappear from the Video section in my iPod. When i check in iTunes, i can still see the video files, but the little TV icon beside them indicating that they are video are gone, and they just play as sound files.
    Also, all the album art and lyrics i had for my normal songs don't display anymore. But i can still see them in iTunes.
    has anyone had this problem? is there a way to reset the iPod without this happening?
    thanks

    Try restoring the iPod. Then, after a restore, try resetting your iPod.

  • Album Art via Video out

    It is my understanding that only video will play via the video out, no album art. I have 150 music videos and 2500 mp3 all with cover art. I put my Iphone in the av dock which is connected to my AV receiver and hit shuffle. Music Videos will appear on the TV but not the album art although the music plays. The album art appears on the phone - but not via the video out. If this intentional, why? Major shortcoming. Any workarounds? It would be cool.

    Can't be done at the present. However, you can do a video slide show of your pics with music.

  • Videos showing up as album art

    This is really weird....I press play on my videos and they show the first frame as the album art...audio still works fine. I'm using firmware 1.0 and the same videos worked yesterday.

    I have only experienced this once. It was really weird. All I did was play song in music, and then went back to videos. After that it worked fine.

  • V2.2 bug: Album art sometimes appears as still frames from video podcasts

    I subscribe to the CNN "in case you missed it" video podcast. I have noticed that intermittently, the album art appearing on the iPhone screen for the playing song is a "stolen" frame from one of the CNN video podcasts. I have taken screenshots when this occurs and I can post them if desired.
    This is a question that I will mark as answered when I see that the problem has been corrected in a future firmware.

    This bug seems to have been fixed in IOS 3

  • Video Play Issues, Thumbnails/Album Art Only Comes On

    So in a fit of frustration, my bf has given up on trying to fix his iPod.
    Problem? When he goes to play a video, it doesn't play. Instead the screen will look like it's playing a song, and a clip of the video is the album art or thumbnail. There's no movement, it's just a clip. We're done the resetting thing, adjusted the TV Out, TV Signal and Widescreen options back and forth. We're not trying to connect to a tv just trying to watch a video on the iPod. It was working fine two days ago but not so much today.
    Any help?

    Here try this and see if it solves the problem: go into your iPod, choose video's or movie's ( on the main screen) , then go to video settings and make sure "TV Out" is set to "off"... now your iPod should play video.
