Fix the Album Artwork Glitch (for version 5.01) Please!

I have seen quite a few people post this problem, with no satisfactory answer from Apple or other members:
I have 2000 songs in my library, and have painstakenly loaded each one with album information, so as songs are played, their album cover shows. This worked perfectly with version 5.0. Now that I have "upgraded", the only art work that is shown is for purchased music. All of my art work is shown when I hit "Selected Song", but for "Now Playing", all I get is "Album Art work Not Modifiable" for all formats, including AIFF audio.
PLEASE FIX! I wouldn't have "upgraded" if I knew this was going to happen. I spent weeks finding all of this art work.

Agree completely. I pretty much had a panic attack when I thought I'd lost my artwork. I painstakingly scanned all my CD covers in (internal leaves as well as the cover itself) so this is a big, big deal for me. If ANYONE OUT THERE knows of a fix, please post! And Apple – how on earth did this slip through beta-testing? It's a pretty obvious glitch.

  • This is a way of fixing the i-tunes Glitch for Linux

    If you want to use i-tunes on a Linux based computer, try using a virtual machine, in conjunction. with Linux operating system; such as, if you are using it with Ubuntu 11.04 it works most of the times, that is if you he the sufficient hardware to run the virtual mechine.

    Thanks for replying, that goes some way to answering the question, but I'm also looking to see how much space each app and its associated documents are using, i.e. Pages comes in at 112Mb for the app alone, but I'd like to know how much space is being used by the documents as well.
    Once again thanks,

  • Option missing for the iPod to enable or disable the album artwork.

    I have a 5th Gen iPod and iTunes 10.5.1. I did a restored on the iPod to try and solve a locking up/freezing problem.
    After the restire none of my album artwork got included in the restore. Additionally I don't have the option for the iPod to enable or disable the album artwork.
    I plug in the iPod and select that iPod then select Music. No matter what options I choose (Sync all of Library, Sync Playlists, etc.) I don't have the option to enable album artwork.
    Has anyone else seen this issue?
    I also have a second 5th gen (but bigger) iPod and older Nano, iPhone and iPad and this option does not show up for any of these devices however, all of those show the artwork.
    What happened to the option to enable or disable artwork and how do I get my artwork back on my iPod?

    That option was removed as of iTunes version 9.  Somebody else recently had this issue with a similar model iPod and came to discover that the HD was simply going bad.

  • Why dosen't I Tunes print the album artwork for jewell case inserts anymore

    Why dosen't I Tunes print the album artwork for jewell case inserts anymore. The artwork shows up but only prints a black square instead of the artwork?

    I had this problem too. It has now been fixed in the latest update 11.0.1.12, and works like a charm again !

  • The album artwork on my iTouch looks correct when I am scrolling through, but when I play a song the album artwork shows an incorrect image.  How do I fix this?

    For example, when I am looking through my albums, the artwork is right.  When I click on an album and play a song, the album artwork is incorrect.  When I go to iTunes and try to look at the artwork, it is correct.  What do I do?

    A couple of other possibilities:
    The CD is dirty / damaged / suffering from "CD Rot" - sometimes CDs may seem to play fine on a CD player (or using the CD-player function of a PC) but will not transfer correctly to a computer - this is the result of the way that CD players auto-correct the datastream from the CD where PCs, when reading the audio CD as data, do not.
    Enabling the error correction function in iTunes import may alleviate if not fully resolve this
    Use an alternate tool to extract the audio from the CD - Exact Audio Copy is probably the best out there, as it can be configured to attempt multiple reads of every audio sample on a CD to get a consistent result.  Then import the resulting files into iTunes.
    You don't say whether this is specific to one CD as in the original poster's case, but the "crackling" symptom has affected a significant number of users of the 64-bit version of iTunes 12.1.0.71 - these are mostly addressed in the most recent update (12.1.1.4), but if nothing else works it may be worth trying this alternative installer: iTunes 12.1.1 for Windows (64-bit — for older video cards)

  • I downloaded a movie last night from iTunes and it downloaded to my laptop and my phone but for some reason it now won't play on my laptop. The album artwork on my laptop has gone and it exists perfectly on my phone. What do I do?

    Help!
    I downloaded a movie last night from iTunes and it downloaded to my laptop and my phone but for some reason it now won't play on my laptop. The album artwork on my laptop has gone and it exists perfectly on my phone. What do I do?
    I paid for it so I'd really like to avoid paying again just to see this movie. Is it because it's on my iPhone? Whenever I try to click on the movie to make it play it just does nothing like it's not there. The file for the movie exists within my iTunes library files but I can't seem to click and drag it into iTunes or open it with iTunes. Need help.

  • Before downloading the latest version of I-Tunes, I used to be able to view the ALBUM ARTWORK at bottom left when clicking on a song.   I am now unable to see the artwork.   Is it no longer possible with the updated software ??

    before downloading the latest version of I-Tunes, I used to be able to view the ALBUM ARTWORK at bottom left when clicking on a song.
    I am now unable to see the artwork.
    Is it no longer possible with the updated software ??

    Correct, Apple have removed that feature. However, you can still see the artwork of the song that's playing; it's shown in the Now Playing indicator at the top of the iTunes window. It is small, but if you click on it, a larger version pops up.
    Also, in Albums View, you can see the album artwork.

  • How do I get the album artwork for digital booklets purchased from itunes?

    I have all these digital booklets but when I look at the album artwork viewer I don't see any artwork for for digital booklets. What kind of artwork is there supposed to be there and how do I get it?

    CDs don't contain artwork, Both iTunes and WMP download the artwork from online sources, in the case of iTunes it comes from the iTunes Store (if the album is available in the store). If the artwork isn't available in the store you can add a suitable artwork image manually. You'll get information on both methods at this link: iTunes for Windows - Adding artwork to songs and other items
    If you can't find the album covers you want from iTunes you can get them from various other sources. I find this site is a good source of artwork: CD/Album Cover Art Search from SlothRadio.
    Another place for finding suitable artwork is to go to Amazon. You can also locate artwork using Google image search and put the artist or album name. Locate the album from any of those sources, right click on the image and save it to the desktop, once it's there drag it to the iTunes artwork pane. Once you've added the artwork you can either delete the original file or keep it in a folder somewhere in case you need to use it again. Alternatively there are programs like these that help locate artwork: iTunes Art Importer or MP3 Tag
    If you have a scanner you can create your own artwork files by scanning the CD cover itself, this is particularly useful when you are dealing with rare recordings.

    "If the content doesn't exist in iTunes then you can'd load artwork."
    If not in the iTunes Store, iTunes uses the Graceland database for artwork and tag info.

  • How do you change the album artwork size in the new itunes

    I just downloaded the laterst version of itunes, and I can't figure out how to change the size of the album artwork in the grid...I like to be able to see all of my albums at once, so I usually view them in the smallest size, but I can't figure out how to change that.

    I've been playing with this and discovered it has to do with your personal ratings (ie stars) for albums and songs - seems iTunes now selects the highest rated album to use for the Artist icon. If you have no ratings it seems (but not always) to select the most recent album/song to use fo rthe display.
    I've been able to get iTunes to use specific album artowk by rating both the album and all individual tracks as 5 star. You may need to restart iTunes for the changes to take effect.
    But I'd be much happier just telling iTunes which image to use - like we used to be able to do. Yet another step backwards for iTunes 11 (one of many).

  • Films - Movies not Working or corrupted in iTunes after changing the  album artwork

    After trying to change the album artwork for some movies I own, I realized that such movie unplayable after such change and I cannot even revert what I have done. More, it seems like if you press on the "get info" section of the movie, you will notice that the artwork tab is gone and therefore, it’s like the movie is corrupted after changing the artwork. Any ideas? Has anyone encountered this before?

    Just checked and I have the updated itunes 8.0.1 with the poster frame problem.
    I finally found a fix for the movie album artwork problem.
    After realizing several movies had the same poster frame as one of the movies. I deleted the movie with the common poster frame which had been copied to other movies. The other poster frames changed on the other movies because they no longer had a reference to the file from which the poster frame was copied. So I copied the deleted movie back into itunes and then got to thinking that perhaps there is something else in common with the movies which displayed the same poster frame. I found that I had set the album field to the same title. So I changed the album field file by file, to something else. Then I set the poster frame after playing a few seconds of the video at a point where I wanted the frame set to the current frame. I got a film icon on the movie icon for a few seconds while it changed it. Sometimes I had to repeat selecting the different poster frames for each movie because it didn't take the first time... the second time I selected a different poster frame it was then set to the first poster frame that I selected. So now the movies which all had the same album "Aviation" now are all changed to "Flight Training" Of course, now the poster frames for those movies are all the same poster frame but at least they are correct for the type of movie.
    So if the album name is set to the same thing on several different movies they will all have the same poster frame.

  • Album artwork placeholder for podcast page

    I think when creating my podcast page that I accidently deleted the original placeholder for the album artwork. Since I have 2 episodes already posted and uploaded to Mobile Me I didn't want to recreate a whole new podcast page... So I added a new podcast page, then copied and pasted it's placeholder into my original podcast page, then deleted the new podcast page. That didn't work. When I try to submit to iTunes, instead of showing the artwork, it shows a big question mark.
    Is there any way to fix this or do I just need to recreate the page from the ground up?
    Any tips much appreciated... Thanks!

    Here's my e-mail reply to a similar question I recieved this week:
    I tried to see what happened. It turns out that pasting a new image from a other blog does not replace the preview.
    So we have to cheat.
    Create a new blog article and give it the same date & time. In the blog summary double click the date of the line at the top. First of the old article to see the time/date stamp and then the new one to change the date.
    Then copy paste the text from the old article to the new one.
    If you have the image, drop it on the placeholder. If not, got to your blog on the web and drop the image from the webpage on top of the iWeb page.
    You now have a new blog entry. Delete the old entry. You will loose any comments.
    When commenters ask what happended to their comment, make up an excuse. Blame the MobileMe transition
    Hope that works for your too.
