Finder Not Showing Album Art

hey -
i'm running a 2011 macbook pro -- i did a software update today (a lot of updates as Lion was recently released), but i HAVE NOT updated to Lion yet (a bit nervous about the bugs and slower performance).
my computer no longer shows the album art in the FINDER. the embedded artwork is fine, the id3 tags are fine... when i open the files in itunes the artwork shows, but just not in finder... i remember this exact problem when itunes 9 was around (fixed by itunes 10 update)... anyone else having this issue??

First try updating your Video card/drivers.
Also try updating your directX from microsoft here

  • Itunes 10.5 not showing album art or syncing it to my ipod touch

    I updated iTunes and suddenly it's now showing any of my album art? The artwork is still showing up on my iPod touch 4g, just not on iTunes. Also when I add artwork to an album it isn't syncing to my iPod at all. Just curious if I'm the only one having this problem or if anyone has a solution?

    I have the same problem with a Iphone 3g with windows 7 and itunes 10.4

  • How to find all songs that do not have album art

    I create several smart playlists for housekeeping, like songs with no year, songs with no album name, etc. I wanted to create a similar one that lists all songs that do not have any album art associated with it. I have not seen this option when creating a playlist, but I didn't know if there was a way to write a script (that could run on Windows) that could create this playlist for me. I can (and have) gone through each song individually to note which did not have album art, but I have almost 5000 songs, and this is not really feasible any more.
    Has anyone else done anything similar to this? Any suggestions are greatly appreciated.

    Awesome !!! Thank you very much. I did not realize you could use JavaScript to code against iTunes ...
    I don't know if you have written any of these yourself, but do you know how to maybe create a smart playlist with this information via script? If not, no big deal. At least I know have something which I can use, I will just have to run it every so often.
    Thanks again for pointing me to that site!

  • How can I show album art in the mini player when playing songs from a plugged in iPhone?

    How can I show album art in the mini player when playing songs from a plugged in iPhone?
    When I play from my phone and switch to the mini player it's always showing the music notes in the thumbnaill. It'd be nice if it could get album art off of the phone.
    I'm on iTunes version 11.0.4.4

    He @mracole,
    it is very nice that you post a solution to complete the library with artwork for album's that do not have an artwork. Your solution perfectly addresses the problem for assigning artwork, BUT this thread is about CHANGING artwork for albums already uploaded into iTunes Match. Just try to replace for example a blue artwork cover for an album with a red one. If you made it in a simple way (without deleting the album from iTunes Match and local changes on the files with an external ID3-Application or 2 or more iTunes libraries on different Mac's) this is the right place to give a solution. I really tried for hours to change the artwork to make them visible in landscape cover flow mode on my iPhone5. In rare cases I made it, but then the covers sometimes where restored to the old onces - exacly how it is mentioned by Starhawk
    As long as there is no simple way to change the cover of an iTunes Match stored album (you can change title, artist and so on without hitting "update iTunes Match" over all distributed Library on different devices - this date will be synchronized almost instantly) I considered the behaviour from iTunes as BUGGY! For me the local artwork cache (and if there is any iCloud artwork cache - I don't know) do not interfere with iCloud. Even when I delete the whole local cache (album artwork music - everything) I do not manage to change the artwork.

  • Some of the album artwork on my iPod is wrong. I've tried to change it many times but it doesn't change. I've decided that the easiest thing to do now would be to NOT display album artwork on my iPod. How do I set my iPod to NOT display album art?

    Some of the album artwork on my iPod is wrong. I've tried to change it many times but it doesn't change. I've decided that the easiest thing to do now would be to NOT display album artwork on my iPod. How do I set my iPod to NOT display album art? I've checked the User manual and that doesn't help.

    Why don't you, instead of taking time to do that, just backup, and then restore your iPod?
    Just a suggestion..

  • IPod won't show album art

    My nano won't show album art like it's suppossed to. I tried the whole, "check and uncheck display albums artwork on your iPod" under preferences. Then I get an error message as follows: The iPod cannot be updated. An unknown error occured (-50). What should I do?

    In itunes, navigate to the tracks, select them, then click on Advanced -----> Get album artwork.
    See if it works.

  • Mavericks 10.9.1-Problem with finder not showing peripheral hardware

    After upgrading to Mavericks (10.9.1) my Finder doesn't show new hardware in Devices. For example, Finder not showing iPod when i plug into the keyboard's usb. i have other examples  of the same problem, such as trying to find a hard drive detached from an old computer. anyone know if i can configure Finder to show all peripheral (hardware) devices? maybe i need to plug the peripherals into back of the iMac rather thatn into my keyboard usb (which i have not tried.) Thanks in advance.

    I had a similar issue as you did -- for a few weeks now I've been suffering through agonizingly slow Contacts performance.
    The way I resolved it was:
    1) Quit Contacts
    2) Go to system preferences and go into iCloud, then uncheck contacts -- choosing to delete from mac.
    3) Go into system preferences and to Internet Accounts and again uncheck contacts under any of the accounts it's enabled on (gmail, yahoo, etc).
    4) Go to your user's library folder (easiest way is to open a finder window, hold down the option key on the keyboard and from the Go menu, select Library).
    5) Delete anything referring to Address book or com.apple.address book....   -- check these folders in particular:
         - Address Book
         - Application Support
         - Caches
         - Preferences
    6) Restart your computer
    7) Go back into System preferences and enable contacts from wherever you want (iCloud, etc.)
    8) If it's not quite enabling (appears to enable, but checkbox doesn't show), then do one more restart of the computer.
    9) Now open Contacts and allow it to sync

  • Finder Not showing Sidebar

    In my finder not showing sidebar.
    I have checked finder preferences etc..

    Finder menu > View > Show Sidebar.
    Does that help?
    Sometimes I have to select it twice to get it to appear (Finder likes to ignore simple requests with no explanation ).
    You may also be able to drag from the left edge to make it appear too, but that can also be hit or miss.

  • How do u get the nano to show album art?

    Is it showing in iTunes?
    If so, then connect the iPod to the computer. When it shows up in iTunes go to edit-->preferences and hit the iPod tab. Uncheck transfer album art. Click okay. Go back and recheck it. Let the iPod update and eject it when it is finished.

  • Unable to show album art in genius playlists

    Unable to show album art in newly created genius playlists in iTunes 12. Oddly, ALL genius playlists created in previous versions show album art!
    Also, cannot access column browser view in Genius playlists - only list view available - and NO album art! How do I fix this?!?!?

  • Help...My Lockscreen is now showing album art!

    I don't know what I did, but since this morning my 4S has been showing ALBUM ART instead of the photo I took for the lock screen.
    Can someone tell me how to turn this off?
    Yikes
    Thanks
    Tom

    Are you playing music using the Music App and letting the screen lock?  If so this is how the lock screen works now.
    I believe that if you stop playing music. Open another app, close it and then lock your phone or let it lock itself your lockscreen should be back to whatever you set it to be.

  • IPod won't sync purchased songs or show album art

    I purchased a brand new 80 gig iPod yesterday, and I'm having slight problems with it. When I plugged it in, it told me that my iPod software was too old and couldn't transfer some of my songs (which ended up being the songs I downloaded from the store over the past several years). I checked to see if about an update, but the iPod menu says the software is up to date. I'm wondering if there is a setting I need to fix. Interestingly, it says my iPod is formated for Windows, but I'm using a Mac and did not have a choice between a Mac or PC. If this is an issue, can someone help me format it for Mac?
    Also, it's a slight issue, but even with album art downloaded from online store, none will show up on my iPod. Why is this, and how do I fix it?

    Hi.
    Follow these instructions. If no luck then please post back.

  • Not showing album artwork

    my ipod nano 7th gen is not showing artwork despite it's all shown in my itunes. how do i get it seen on the ipod?

    Mac users use this little program: "Coverseverywhere" to be found here: http://code.google.com/p/coverseverywhere/
    It will convert any iTunes albumart Mp3 such that the album art is seen by almost any player, including Nokia Symbian phones like the N78 N97 and more. 
    Just point it at the iTunes music files or directories you want to convert (this could be your whole library!) and it shows up on your Nokia. Ofcourse you have to reload your music to your phone. On Mac's this is easiest done troug Nokia's Multimedia Transfer program. http://www.apple.com/downloads/macosx/drivers/nokiamultimediatransfer.html
    You must have the album art allready embedded in your Mp3's for this to work.
    In iTunes this means copying the albumart from any source and opening the album or track with "Command-I" or right clicking on "Info". Then you paste the art into the illustration window. 
    This little program is a small gem. Works like a charm!

  • Split screen not previewing album art

    Hi - I've done a search and couldn't find any answers, hope I'm posting in the right place etc.
    I bought an 80GB iPod classic a few weeks ago but this morning a work colleage took my iPod without my knowledge, and plugged it in to his computer; it initially failed to install drivers and froze up, he then unplugged it and I reset (held down "menu" and centre buttons). The iPod worked perfectly after the reset.
    He then took it again and tried to use it with Winamp - the drivers installed this time - and he copied all of my music across to his hard drive through winamp (all of which occurred without my permission).
    After he ejected the ipod, there were lots of problems, most of which I have resolved, but the seemingly impossible one is that album art doesn't preview on the right side of the screen when I have menus up anymore. This is one of the main reasons I bought the iPod Classic - for the sleek interface - and I'm really frustrated I can't fix it. There are also some problems with album art appearing when I play songs - it appears in Cover Flow, but once I play a song from that album, the standard apple 'note' symbol appears on the left of the screen.
    Any ideas? Please? I'm desperate and very upset as I just bought this.
    Thanks!

    Try restoring your iPod. Restoring will erase the iPod's hard drive, reload the software and put it back to default settings. Once the restore is complete follow the on screen instructions and it should connect to iTunes and give you a prompt to automatically update your library onto the fresh installation: Restoring iPod to factory settings with iTunes 7
