Deleting Cover Art

I have gone out to All Music Guide to get my cover art.
I have dragged and dropped cover art into most of my albums.
Oftentimes, there is no cover art found when I search via iTunes.
Now this is an odd problem, sometimes the Delete cover art choice is offered, but most of the time it is not when I right click on the cover art in iTunes.
The one I had previously selected remains, and in a couple of cases I did manage to delete it, but then it reappears.
Is there any way to delete it so I can replace it with another cover art short of deleting the whole album and re-import it from the CD?
Thanks !

Can you explain turning off the RO bit as I'm not familiar with it.
Where would I find it in Explorer?
Just proves the point... you learn something new every day.
Thanks.

How do you delete cover art?

I ran the cover art feature and it downloaded lot of files but some of them are wrong. I went to "clear downloaded cover art" but the files won't delete. Then I went to file and and clicked "Show in Windows Explorer" I deleted all of the files but when I go back into iTunes the files come back.
Windows XP Pro

First turn off "Automatically download missing album artwork" in iTunes' Preferences->General tab. Then do the "clear downloaded artwork" command.
Of course, if you turn that option on again it will likely download the same incorrect image. So before you activate it again, grab the correct image yourself from http://www.allmusic.com/ and attach it to the file(s). iTunes won't "automatically" download the wrong cover if you manually put the right cover in place first.

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!

How do you delete incorrect cover art and replace it with the correct cover art?

How do you delete incorrect cover art and replace it with the correct cover art?

Select the song and open the "Get Info" window (Cmd + I or File > Get Info). Select the artwork tab. Select the artwork and click the "Delete" button. Use the "Add" button to select the replacement art or just drag it into the window. Click "OK" to save your changes.

Problems concerning sonata playlists and freevo cover art

Hi!
I'm setting up a media center PC and I'm having some problems with the playlists created by sonata. Another problem I have is not getting freevo to download cover art.
First: When ever I try to make a playlist through the "Current" tab in Sonata it creates a m3u file with every song that's listed in the current window. I'm used to being able to pick one or a couple of songs and then adding it a specified playlist. Is this impossible in sonata? And if I try to play the m3u file created (the one with every song listed) through freevo I get a message that the directory is empty. What am I doing wrong??
Second: I'm having big problems getting freevo to download cover art to my music. I can download info on movies from imdb, but info for the music doesn't work. I store the cover art downloaded by sonata in the different album folders and these covers show up in freevo. But if I have to play every new song i download first in sonata to get the cover art working in freevo I'll go crazy. It's supposed to work the same way in freevo as in sonata isn't it???
It also seems that mplayer can't play m3u files. Using the mentioned sonata made m3u file in mplayer does nothing. Mplayer starts but nothing happens.
My goal is to be able to make playlists through sonata and then play these lists using freevo. I don't want to get up from the couch.

It's clearly not impossible, just different than you expect. Create your playlist as you want it to appear in the Current tab (meaning don't dump every single song from your library in there, just the ones you want) and then save the playlist.

Look at save_absolute_paths_in_playlists in your mpd.conf.

Remote app: using thumbs from iBooks documents for cover art??

In iTunes on my Mac, I have a playlists where I've dragged in my favourite radio stations. If I connect to it with Apple's Remote.app and play any of them, though, it is using as cover art the covers of PDFs I have in the iBooks.app!
Seems minor, but it seems one app is breaching the sandbox of another, even if they're both Apple apps...
Anyone else experiencing this issue?
Latest iBooks, Remote, iOS 5.1, iPhone 4S. Mac is on Snow Leopard, iTunes v10.5.3

I have the same issue. Somehow I had previously fixed it but it has recurred. Deleting and re-installing app does not fix the problem nor does re-setting the iPhone.
Any help greatly appreciated

I am unable to update my album art since I commenced using match (and after upgrading to Yosemite). How can I 'unembed' old cover art and replace?

I am unable to update my album art on my iMac since I started using Match (and after upgrading to Yosemite 10.10.3). A message advises that it's not possible to removed old artwork if it's embedded. How can I 'unembed' old cover art and replace?

Normally artwork recovered with iTunes is stored as a separate artwork file and iTunes refers to that file to display artwork when you click on a track. However, if you then copy the file to another player the artwork file is left behind and the track will not display the artwork on the other player. To get around this it is possible to embed the artwork in the music file itself so it always travels with the file. Artwork can be embedded by you or files from third party sources may arrive with embedded artwork. iTunes apparently now won't replace artwork for such files. You can accomplish this by completely deleting artwork for a file or set of files in Get Info, then getting iTunes to fetch artwork which will then be set as a reference file rather than being embedded.
I use an old iTunes so unless you are using an ancient iTunes it won't help for me to give you great details. To erase artwork I simply get info on a series of files and check the box next to the artwork box without adding any artwork and close. To do it for single file I Get Info, go to the artwork display tab and click delete. Here's a Windows reference for a newer iTunes (but the "old Get Info" reference is for early iTunes 12 and no longer works with newer):I cannot delete embedded album artwork in iTunes 12

I am a PC user using 3 PCs w/ iTunes Match. 2 of my PCs sync fine, but my new PC (used to remove duplicates, cover art, update playlists) does not sync with Match. Whats the problem?

So, to begin I own 3 PCs and the latest iPad/iPhone running iTunes on all 3 PCs. For simplicity, I will refer to the PCs as old, laptop, and new.
My laptop was my primary PC which i used to set up iTunes match. The old PC had all of my music files which have appeared to have been uploaded to Match. Note that I had already transferred most (if not all) of the music to my laptop but I enabled match so that I could download new files to my old PC. Note that I did quite a bit of cleaning, retagging, and ordering files and that I was told by Apple that Match would recognize duplicates, and as such, would not upload these files to the cloud in Match (this does not appear to be the case, however). My laptop PC (originally set up on Match) indicates there are alot of files in the clould (Match) to download. These seem to be duplicate files which were already cleaned on the Laptop and were uploaded on the old PC machine. Thus, it appears that Apples matching alogorythm is not strong enough to detect minor differences (i.e. cover art) in files and decides to upload them anyway (quite annonying if you ask me).
Now, to my problem; I purchased a new PC and have been removing the last duplicate songs, updating cover-art, playlists, among other things. My new PC (which I will refer to as "new") is not recognized by iTunes Match. I have tried uninstalling each app associated with iTunes, starting fresh with a new playlist and library to no avail.
Has anyone else had this problem? Apple Care does not seem to have much knowledge about Match, which is a bit frustrating. All I wish to do is tell Match that my New PC should be the primary PC which will be used to deliver playlists, music, etc since the other 2 machines have many duplicates and the playlists have errors within them. I thought about these solutions (none of which are no appealing) 1) using the laptop as my primary iTunes Match PC since this was the PC Match was created on (this would require rebuilding playlists and removing a massive amount of duplicates, again), 2) creating a new iTunes Match account based on my New PC (basically starting over), 3) forgetting Match all together and going back to the old school store & sync.
Anyone have better ideas or experiencing similar issues? Any thoughts would be appreciated. Thx!

After going by elimination to isolate if the problem was from (1) iTunes app, (2) my computer or (3) my old iPhone 4G, I figured out what my problem was.
1) First I deleted & reinstalled iTunes on my Windows PC without succes, my playlist did not changed on my iPhone.
2) I tested a successful #sync from the iMac at work.
So my conclusion is: The hard drive on my Windows PC is full and that is affecting iTunes SYNC functionalities.
So I'll do a back-up then run a "Clean Install" of my Windows OS, hoping that it will fix my SYNC problems.

I can no longer see my mp3 cover art in finder

Last week I updated OS to 10.8.2, then later that week I did a disk check and permissions verify and repair, after that none of the mp3 tap images show up in finder, I do allot sound post work, and it help to be able to see the cover art once an mp3 file has been tagged. I spent 1.5 hours at the apple store yesterday, we checked and the tag images were visable on another computers through shared folder, so we tried deleting plists, but it definitly system wide and not on a user lever setting. I also did a re-install, ( were I did notice the downloader is extremely slow, I have very fast internet 50mps and lets just say it was moving at dial up speed.)
Any suggestions?
Thanks
Alexander

Im having the same issue. Did you find any solutions?
Thanks

Is there any way to hide album cover art in ipods, ipads, iphones?

I have downloaded a number of songs that my kids like to listen to, but the cover art for those songs is inapropriate for my kids to view. Is there a way that they can have the music on their ipod without the cover art poping up all the time?
Thanks!

The only way is to delete the artwork in iTunes on the compute and then sync.

The cover art is missing on my playlists songs, but not for songs in the cloud on my iphone 5s

Ever since I updated to iOS 8, not 8.0.2 (still haven't done that update), the artwork on my music is missing for any songs that are on my phone and in my playlists. My music that is stored in the cloud still has its cover art. All of the songs still play, but I really want the artwork back.

I am not sure how many of you had to re-os, power off multiple times, or restore. So, try these and hit 'like' and/or 'This solved my question' or 'This helped me', if it works as explained below.
What you do on the iTunes is what appears on iPhone. Artwork missing in iPhone is unlikely, if iTunes on PC has them. I am going to be very simple in writing, for everyone to understand as clear as possible. Follow the below steps -
1. Go to iTunes (On PC). Right Click and select 'Get Info'.
2. If any error message gets displayed there, try to play it once or locate that song manually, if you have recently changed the location.
3. Select 'Artwork' tab and ensure the artwork is still there.
4. (Here is the funny part) - Go to 'Info' tab (the tab between 'Summary' and 'Video')
5. Ensure for any particular song, the following values are always captured -
a) Name -
b) Artist -
c) Album - (Most of us tend to delete this album data, to avoid seeing duplicate of the name or artist)
Eg. On my iTunes (PC), a song is categorized -
a) Name - Bad Day (Ladies and Gents - I did not purposely select this song )
b) Artist - Daniel Powter
c) Album - Bad Day
Try the above simple step and see if it works. If not, reply back to me and mention the exact error message. Can try to help.

Refreshing Movie Cover Art?

I have my Apple TV wirelessly connected in streaming mode. I add new cover artwork to my ripped movies in Itunes along with the movie info but I'm having problems getting the displayed cover art to update on Apple TV. Shouldn't Apple TV automatically detect that the cover art and movie info has been updated or is there a procedure for getting it to refresh that info? Thanks for any help you can give..

I am very impressed with the ATV and have succesfully
recoded DVD's using Nero Premium 7, The quality is
great and I cannot tell the difference of a DVD
played rom my Denon. Unfortunately I cannot change
the Artwork which has been selected from the first
frame of the DVD. I have followed all the
instructions, right clicked info, deleted artwork,
browsed to new artwork downloaded from Amazon and it
appears to replace the image. If I select the general
tab it shows the new artwork, but as soon as I click
on OK the Artwork reverts back to the original!
Help, I am an advanced PC and MAC user but this
currently has me baffled!
I am wondering if it is the program used to encode is somehow affecting how iTunes deals with the artwork?
Since you are a Mac user, could you try using MediaFork or something similar and see if the artwork is an issue there as well?
Also, could you try iTunes installed on a different computer (preferably fresh)?
I have a fairly large and old iTunes library running on my Intel iMac and use primarily MTR -> MediaFork, or just MediaFork, and I have been able to add art to all so far...

Cover Art Doesn't Display for New CDs, Podcasts, etc.

Cover art doesn't display for new items that I add to my 60GB iPod from iTunes. Older items are fine but new CDs, podcasts or songs purchased from iTunes don't display cover art on my iPod. The cover art is there when viewed in iTunes but just doesn't display when they are being played. The problem seems to have started about a month ago. Anyone experience something similar?

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).

COVER ART DOESN'T SHOW IN COVER FLOW

Just got the new ipod classic, 80gb.
Some of the cover art I synced doesn't show in cover flow. Instead of the blank musical note cover, it's just black, meaning it has content, but it just won't show.
But all the cover arts show perfectly in my itunes.
Help please.
Thanks.

I've had this problem also. This problem usually happens when I update new artwork to the iPod. SOLUTION: Try deleting the entire album from the iPod, then re-transfer the whole album from iTunes with the new artwork. This solution has worked for me every time (so far). Best of luck.
So many things about the 160GB performance suck ***, but I love the stupid thing. Hoping they fix all the bugs soon!
