Delete multiple tracks, Different album art gone in 12

so in all previous versions of iTunes i was able to delete album artwork from a bunch of files at once that had different artwork. Now it seems in iTunes 12 I can only do multiple IF the artwork is all the same,
for example, i download 8 different tracks from all different artist that have all different artwork. I don't want any artwork at all so I was able to select all, get info, hit album art and hit delete, it deleted for all. I can no longer do this. i can only do it on a per track basis OR for tracks that all have the exact same artwork like in 1 album.
Back to iTunes 11 for now i guess unless some figured out a way around this

When I used the 'Get Album Artwork' command in iTunes the actual song files were locked within finder. I do this to ensure that no track information accidentally gets altered when playing (I have over 2000 albums ripped from CDs and I'm a bit obsessive when it comes to accurate album info!).
With this in mind, it seems to me that the artwork was not actually embedded in the audio file itself. It seems that the artwork is stored in the 'Album Artwork' folder within the 'iTunes' folder in my Home folder.
The artwork for the album in question has actually gone from within iTunes - so there is nothing to delete. It is within the finder that it can be seen as a preview thumbnail on the audio file.
Upon further inspection I realise that the album I am having this problem with is the only album I viewed in the finder before deleting the artwork through iTunes. These preview thumbnails seem to have been generated while the artwork was present in iTunes but still persist even though the artwork is no longer there.

Imported photos, transferred some photos to new album, deleted originals, ones in album are gone. How do I retreive them?

Imported photos, transferred some photos to new album, deleted originals, ones in album are gone. How do I retreive them?

Check the iPhoto trash - if they are there select them and right click and restore to library
If they are not there then they are gone
You really should take the time to learn how to use iPhoto - photos exist only in one place - in your events - albums, keepsakes, etc are just pointers to the actual photos in the event - deleting from an album does just that - deletes from the album - deleting from an event removes the photo and therefore all albums, keepsakes, etc
watch the videos as a starter - iPhoto help menu ==> iPhoto help and watch the video
also more details (for a previous version so some menu items are in different places but the concept is the same) - and it would be a worthwhile investment of time to take the iphoto tutorials - http://www.apple.com/findouthow/photos/ - they are very helpful and will save you a lot of time and frustration.

It seems that I have solved my issue by performing a full factory reset (erasing all content, something which I had hoped to avoid) restoring from an iCloud backup did not alleviate the issue, I had to set up as a new iPad.
Hopefully anyone else else who has this issue in the future will be able to find this.

ZEN VISION:M Multiple Artist Directories/Album Art Issues/e

I recently bought a Zen Vision:M (got talked out of the IPod) and for the most part I'm very happy with it. However these two small issues are so irritating that they make me want to get rid of it.
Firstly a few artists on my player have multiple directories/folders. Some have two, some have as many as fi've. I am extremely particular about my music so I know that they are properly tagged and the artist name matches exactly. It only does this with when I add media with the zen media explorer, however if I use any other program to add files, such as windows media (don't tell anyone that I used that terrible excuse for a media player!) or MusicMatch (my preferred choice), my album art won't display. I find this interesting, and extremely irritating, considering I used MusicMatch to tag the art to the files). I can only get the art to display using the zen media explorer.
Also is there a way to have the zen organize tracks by name and not into album directories? I refuse to believe that I am the only one who listens to my music by track title as opposed to album title, otherwise I'd just pop the cd in!!! And what is the deal with playing one track plays the whole album? I have to add track to playlist just so it doesn't throw all the songs in there.

Windows Media Player does not write the album art to the ID3 tag of the mp3 file. It keeps the image file separated from the mp3 and makes a link to it.
You need something that can write the image file to the mp3 file itself. Zen Explorer can do this.
As for the multiple artist names showing up. I've never seen that before, and I feel like I need more details. Do the Artist names show up under the Artist Catagory view or the Album catagory view? And I misundertood if you were trying to say this only happens when you transfer music using the Zen Explorer and not Media Playper or MusicMatch since you changed subjects midway through the sentence.
But in a general sense, this would happen if you are spelling the two directories differently. Like for example Tom Jones, Tom Jone, or ( )Tom Jones. the ( ) means theres a space in front of the T. Those would all show up under different album names.Message Edited by TimT on 07-0-2006 2:04 PM

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 gone

On itunes, it shows all of the album art perfectly fine, until today when i synced my phone and about 20% of the album art is gone on various albums. i didnt update my phone or anything, it just randomly disappeared and wont seem to come back even after trying to re sync it

I finally had to restore iOS 8 on my iPhone, and then I restored from my backup. Everything is fixed now. All music synced without issue, and iTunes even seemed more stable while syncing. I guess iOS 8 didn't install correctly the first time.
My iPhone seems to be running better now too.
I'd recommend reinstalling iOS 8, if you're having trouble. It fixed all of my problems, hopefully it can fix yours too.

Different album art in coverflow and song played

Sometimes the album art in coverflow differs from the one in the lower left corner. Why is that and can I sync them, so they have the same cover?

Hi.
I had the same problem. The good news is that you can fix it. The bad news is that it may take you quite a bit of time.
The problem is that the metadata is inconsistent in some of your albums. Take a look at the metadata for the albums you are having problems with and make sure that all the tags are consistent.
For example, I had one song on a Beatles album that for some reason had a different year than the other songs on that album. This caused everything on that album to picking the artwork from a Pat Benatar album I had.
Here's what you do.
(1) List all the albums with messed up artwork and the albums that the wrong artwork is from.
(2) In iTunes, check all the songs on each album to make sure that the metadata is consistent.
(3) Erase the music from the iPod Touch (sync to a blank playlist).
(4) Resync the music to the iPod Touch.
If you find further problems, then just repeat this process. It took me three goes to fix everything on my 16 gig touch.

Deleting multiple tracks

Is there a way of deleting all tracks from the Nokia N95 8GB as opposed to deleting one by one/album by album - which usually causes Nokia music to crash.I can't see to find a way to highlight tracks. Am I missing the obvious way to do this?!
Also is there a way of getting Nokia music to replace tracks automatically when syncing with the n95?

I think N95 is having pen key. So use it by selecting your unfavourite songs and enjoy your favourite ones! Or you may try to go to options>mark/unmark>mark.

Where to suggest different album art?

Overall Spotify did a great job at finding the right covers for the albums in their library, but a minority of albums just have awful &/ wrong album art showing up. Is there a platform for that already? Why I'm asking:Deerhunter - Microcastlehttps://open.spotify.com/album/2KtLR3OydzuB6bfJ96GEEf Spotify uses this awful photoshopped alternative cover, I'd love to view this one in my library, this is the official cover you'll see everywhere on the net and fits sooo much better with the cover of their album "Weird Era Cont." which is connected to Microhouse.

This must have been a one time error. I was able to resolve it.

Bluetooth Problems after IOS7 Update (on screen album art gone)

Before updateing my Iphone with IOS7 my bluetooth connection in my 2013 Toyota Tacoma was flawless. Now after the update i am having problems and would like to see if someone has any suggestions for me to clear this up.
Before the update i would get my album art or general art from where i was or what i was listening to on my head unit in my truck. ie: if i was listening to a song... the album it was on would appear on my screen... or if i was listneing to sirius via my phone and bluetooth... i would get the sirius logo or channel logo on the screen just to the left of the song or channel details.
now after the update all i am getting in the small box is the blue tooth logo... that is it... what happened?
i have tried the unpairing and the repairing... but nothing workes... can anyone help me?
Thanks!

IPod Music and Album Art gone haywire after restore/updates/sync

First post !
Since my PC (Win7Pro 64bit) had SP1 installed, iPod Touch (2G) is going nuts. Sent to Apple - latest OS and iTunes (64bit)installed and all OK they said - but now when syncing from iTunes,Album Artwork is gobble-de-gook and some music jumps to next song part way (1/2) through playing. Some tracks have wrong names and some have no artwork at all.
Have restored (as per Apple Cust.Support) and tried to resync but still all over the place. Still under warranty but they found no fault at Service.
Easy to blame M/Soft but every other thing attached works fine (Nokia,Samsung,Logitech, etc.) Any ideas or help would be appreciated. Thankyou.

did you ever find a resolution to this? i have almost the same issue on my iPhone. thanks

Problems with Refresh / Deleting Tracks and Album ...

There are times when refreshing the Music Player library either won't complete (eg: after you've dropped the phone popping out the battery in the middle of a refresh .. or is that just me?) or deleted tracks and album art won't disappear from the Music library after a refresh.
These problems are often down to corruption of the library and the only thing to do is to delete the library files and start over. Even a hard reset of the phone won't fix this as the files are stored on the card / mass memory.
To delete the library files:
- Ensure you can see hidden files in Windows Explorer:
Windows Explorer .. Tools .. Folder Options .. View
Select "Show hidden files and folders"
- Connect the phone to your PC using the USB cable in "Data transfer" mode
- Find and rename (or delete if you're really brave) files with names like:
E:\private\101FFC31\mpxv1.mpd
E:\private\101FFC31\pcv5.mpd
E:\private\101ffca9\harvesterdb.dat
(assuming the phone's mass memory / card has been connected as E
Note that the folder names may be different and the files may have prefixes - eg: mpxv1.mpd could be called abcmpxv1.mpd. Basically, you need to search under the Private folder for any files that look similar.
If you rename files - eg: by adding a ".o" to the end of the name - instead of deleting them, you can always just change the name back if you find you need those files back.
- Refresh the Music Player library
This will take longer than normal as it's a complete refresh, but it should now work.

Hi,
What version of Workspace Manager are you using ? I tested this with 9.2.0.4 and everything worked as expected. I was unable to update the row from the WK2 workspace after refreshing it.
Please note that after removing WK1, all locks that had been held by the WK1 workspace are dropped. So, when you update the row for a second time, you are actually locking the row that had been merged(which is contained in the TOP workspace) and not the row from the LIVE workspace. So any workspace that references the row from the LIVE workspace, and not the one from the TOP workspace, would be able to update the row.
This is the case that exists before refreshing WK2. However, after refreshing WK2, it will then use the row from the TOP workspace. Since this row is locked it would be unable update the row.

Why does iTunes display the same album art for different songs, but from the same artist?

Hi,
a couple of days ago I decided I wanted all of my songs to have an album art. Before I didn't actually care, but since I discovered the view mode with the album arts at the top (the fourth one) I began searching for the right arts, since I like it this way.
I've stumbled upon a problem though. When I add two or more songs from the same artist, iTunes chooses to assign the same album art to the songs. It chooses the album art of the song I added first to my music library. How do I get it to show the proper album art?
I use a program called 'Mp3Tag' to change all the information of my songs. When it's just a single, I end up having an 'artist', 'title', 'genre' and 'cover'. The rest of the information doesn't bother me. With albums I add more information though.
Here's an example:
I added two songs, one being 'Usher - Climax (Kaskade Remix)' and the other one being 'Usher - Scream'. The one added first was 'Scream'. As you can see below, iTunes somehow assigns the same album art to both songs, while clicking on 'get info' clearly shows the songs have different album arts.
I discovered something else though:
When adding an 'album name' to the songs, they will show properly, as seen below. The thing is though, I don't want to add an album name. When I sync the songs to my iPod, my 'albums' list will show all of the songs as well, which I don't want.
Is there any way to solve this another way where iTunes won't sort by album, but by song title?
Thanks in advance.

Can anyone please answer my question?

Deleting only album art or leaving it off of iPod?

Is there a way to delete all of your album art or just leave if off of the iPod (preferable) when transfering your music from iTunes. I am trying to maximize space and prioritize music on a very full iPod. Thanks.

Connect your iPod to the computer. Change the settings for music management on the iPod so that album artwork are not shown on iPod (uncheck the box)

Album art fails to show after 1st track

ipod classic 80G fw 1.0.3
The album art shows properly in CoverFlow
When I start playing from coverflow, it shows the proper album art in the first song I play, but if I go the next song, it shows the "music notes" placeholder like there is no art in the file.
Now for the kicker: if I press the center click from coverflow to show the track list, then start playing the album on track #2, then it shows the artwork, but if I move on to the next track, it fails to show the artwork again.
Basically it acts like it can't find artwork when moving from one song to the next.
All my tracks have album art embedded into them (I checked with Mp3Tag. Art size varies from about 100x100 all the way to 500x500

I figured it out. Thanks to going click happy on the interface. Click on Advanced, then Get Album Artwork". It will then tell you to login and a warning that the song info will get sent to Apple. I've been trying to move my songs over to this thing on and off for months. I really think Android is the way to go as forcing you to convert your songs to a format that takes your rights to play a song away is rediculous. No ringtone using my own songs... seriously? My ancient Blackberry had that option with no special software necessary, you just put your music in a folder and let there be sound! I'm not upgrading to the new iPhone.
