Grey filter screen covering cover art on downloaded songs

When I download music (MP3s) from online websites such as thissongslaps.com, thissongissick.com, biggreenbeats.com, and similar websites and go to play them on my iPhone, there is a grey filter covering the cover art displaying the name of the website in a white font. I can tap it and it disappears but every time I go to play another song downloaded from the same site or similar sites, the filter displaying the source reappears. I already removed all of the info from the songs (command+i) aside from the artist and song names but the filters won't stop appearing. Is there a solution to this problem? Thanks in advance!

this might sound a little crazy but its worth a try. when my cover art gets messed up it usually just comes out black on my ipod. if that's your problem, what i usually do is when u click on get info and go to artwork, delete the pic even if it shows up perfect in itunes. instead of just adding the pic right then and there again, click ok and leave it without a pic. click info again and add the pic now. it usually works this way for me if u just leave it blank for a sec instead of swapping the pics in and out

Cover art view in "Songs" tab?

Is there a way to show the cover art in the "Songs" tab? Like in the previous version?

No, they killed it, and they've been doing so for awhile.
It used to allow you to scroll through multiple covers - back covers, singles, whatever.
Then it didn't.
Now it's gone.

6th generation classic doesn't have full screen static cover art feature

my old 5th generation ipod classic had a function to display the cover art in the entire field of the 2.5 inch screen while playing the song.....i went into the a local apple store and asked the rep if the 6th generation classic had the same functionality.....after tooling around trying for 15 minutes to find it, two guys couldn't......does anyone know if the 6th gen ipod classic let's you display the image in the whole 2.5 inch screen while the song in playing, or is this a limitation of the new "cover flow" feature?

This is the ipod touch forum.
Maybe you should post i the ipod classic forum.

A grey filter seems to cover my RAW images after importing.

First, I import RAW images from my Nikon 1 v2.
When I start to look at the images at first they appear clear and bright. Within a second it seems that a light grey filter descends over the image, making it look dully and blah. RAW tends to look a bit blah anyway, but this is a muddy appearance.
I don't understand the change back to the image I had first glimpsed when first opening the image. It's just about impossible to reclaim the first appearance using adjustments.
Any body have any idea of what is happening?
Thank you.

Kirby,
Thanks for the quick response.
I went back and re-imported the pics into Aperture using the "RAW only" option. No change, a quick glimpse of bright clarity then covered by mud -- so to speak.
I then tried iPhoto. The jpg pics in iPhoto are slightly, but noticeably, brighter and crisper in iPhoto.
Given: RAW files are made to need adjustment with all the data they hold. Maybe my problem is that I haven't figured out which combination of adjustments to bring about the facsimile of the original image. It just seems like looking through a windshield that can't be cleaned. Admittedly it is a small adjustment necessary, but I'm picky.
Thank you.

I've always wanted to obtain and have perfect resolutioned cover art for my albums. I have been and downloaded albums from the iTunes store, and they come with really great cover art. How can I get cover art as precise and clean as the albums have on ther

My problem mainly concerns cover art.
There have been times when I downloaded albums from the iTunes store to find its cover art it is absolutely beautiful, and is absolutely 100% un stretched. Whereas when I have gotten images for a specific album from Google Images it's terribly pixelated and totally disgusting.
Is there a way for me to obtain cover art for my albums that is has clarity equal to the cover art on the iTunes store albums.
Or will it basically boil down to I can only get that cover art by downloading my albums off the store?

The old iTunes libraries do not restore any playlists or song counts.
They should you if you do the roll back properly... Opening files from the Previous iTunes Libraries folder in Windows Explorer simply opens the current library. If you don't see the .itl file extension then don't give your copied and renamed file the extention or iTunes will create an empty library rather than using the renamed file.
If you had a complete pre-problem backup of your library you could restore that. On the assumption that isn't possible I have a script called ExportImport that could in principle be adjusted to save the relevant data from a backup of the library database and then reimport that data into the current library. See this thread for details.

REMOTE app on iPhone does not display Cover Art

I use the Apple REMOTE App on my iPhone to control my iTunes music library on a Mac. The REMOTE App controls the iTunes playback properly. However, the Cover Art for each song does not display on the "song" screen - showing the song currently playing. Across my iPhone screen (where the Cover Art should appear) are the words containing album of the song). The name of the song and album correctly appear at the top of the screen.
What is interesting is that when I hit the back arrow (left side top on song screen), all of the Cover Art appears in small thumbnails. The Cover Art also appears in other displays (for example, the currently-playing Album) using REMOTE on my iPhone. This means that the cover art is being transmitted to my iPhone - HOWEVER IT DOES NOT DISPLAY ON THE SONG SCREEN.
Can anyone kindly help me resolve this - because I would really like the Cover Art to display properly on the song screen. Thank you. Dale

Nezmo, This is really unbelievable. I have suffered from the issue I described for SEVERAL YEARS. Today, for some reason I decided to make this post on the Apple discussion board. And, today the issue was fixed by Apple. I just downloaded the update to the REMOTE app and the cover art now shows beautifully on my iPhone 6 plus. Thanks. Dale

ITunes 10.5.1 multible cover art not showing

How Can i display different covers I stored with a song?
In earlier versions of iTunes in the little artwork viewer in the bottom left corner of the iTunes window there were left and right arrows on the top in case you added more than one picture to the cover art of a song. These arrows allowed you to toggle between the covers you stored.
In iTunes 10.5.1 clicking in the top of that little artwork viewer toggles between the view of the actual title or the chosen object.
Anyone any idea how to toggle between the different pictures stored in iTunes 10.5.1 within one song?

Hi mr_proud,
I made exactly the same experience by draging and dropping artwork into the artwork window. Sometimes even showing a black window for the artwork. In some cases it helped to restart iTunes. Nevertheless it's confusing. I guess it's some kind of bug and the developers should keep an eye on it.
Another reason might be, that there are problems with synchronizing songs with multiple artwork to the music player ot the iPhone or the iPad. In my iPhone 4S I couldn't find a way to display multiple artwork of one song.
Let's hope for the next update ;-)

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.

Exporting (dragging) Cover Art from iTunes just makes a picture clipping?

I have dragged cover art JPGs to songs in iTunes. Now I want to drag them back out to the desktop as JPGs. This used to be possible, but now I only get a picture clipping that I can't open with any other program than the Finder. Any ideas? I just want to be able to get certain covers out of iTunes as JPGs.

A neat trick I discovered is to control+click on the art in the view/show art window. It will then let you copy (and paste) art to an album or song there. You can also do that to and from other applications. For all I know you might be able to drag it to Photoshop.

Error when trying to get cover art

I set up a second account in Itunes on my Mac Powerbook, for a second Ipod in the household, and have been uploading my cds. I've uploaded about twenty of them so far and I keep getting an error message that Itunes can not download cover art due to an insecure internet connection. I have no idea why this is or how to resolve it. Any ideas?
Just to be clear: I'm not having a problem with uploading the music. I am having a problem getting the cover art to download.

Yes. You shouldn't poke around in the iphoto library from outside iphoto. You have two choices if you use iphoto:
1. Set PSE as your external editor in the iphoto prefs and send the photos to PSE that way. Save, not Save As (you may need to change the On First Save preference in PSE to make this possible) without changing the name or format, and iphoto will remember one version plus original.
2. Export your photos and use File>Open in PSE, then import the edited photos as new images with new names to iphoto.
With PSE 8 it's possible to get into the iphoto library by going down to the Pictures section of the sidebar in the Open window, but photos edited this way behave oddly in iphoto afterwards and I don't think it's advisable to do it that way.

Cover art view problem

I ripped a CD into iTunes 9.2 and downloaded cover art for the album. I apparently associated each individual song in the album with the cover art because, in cover art view, I now get the cover art for each song instead of the entire album. I have tried to consolidate and that didn't work. I have tried deleting and re-ripping the album and that didn't help. I tried deleting the cover art from the songs individually in "get info" and that didn't do it. I want to get to where I can click on the album cover in cover view and play the entire album instead of just one song. Any help will be much appreciated. Thanks in advance. Jim

Burning and cover art

How do you add a cover art to a song that is gonna be burned to a CD? I have tried burning a playlist with cover art in each song but when the songs were burned the cover art were gone. Help on this would be very much appreciated.

I do backup with iCloud. I can't wait until the new iMac is available so that I can once again have my files in more than 1 location without needing to rely solely on the cloud.
I also rely on iTunes and my MacBook and Time Machine as well as backing up to iCloud. I know many users know have gone totally PC free, but I chose to use iCloud merely as my third backup.
I assume that the restore would result in my ability to open Pages and Numbers and fix the problem with deleting apps, but this would also mean that if my Numbers documents still exist solely within the app and are just not on iCloud for some reason that they would be gone forever. Is that right?
In a word, yes. In a little more detail.... When you restore from an iCloud backup, you must erase the device and start all over again. There is no other way to access the backup in iCloud without erasing the device. Consequently, you are starting all over again. Therefore, it would also be my assumption that Pages and Numbers will work again and that the deleting apps issues would be fixed as well.
If the documents are not in the backup, and you do not have a backup elsewhere, the documents could be gone forever.

Apple TV and iTunes -- Cover art via AirPlay is incorrect.

iTunes and second gen Apply TV software is up to date. I now find that album cover art is not displaying correctly on Apple TV, when music played from iTunes via AirPlay
He cover art seems to be off set by one album (from the playlist). First song displays correctly, second song, still shows cover art from first song, third song shows cover art from second song, and so on.
Since the cover art used to display correctly, I assume that this is a bug in AirPlay. Then again, you know what happens when you assume.
Anyone else have the same problem and been able to correct this issue?
Thanks.

I am also experiencing this issue. If I stop and then re-start the song, the art corrects itself, but that should not be necessary. I would love a fix for this before the holiday when I play a lot of music.

Album art different for songs depending on orientation

Anyone else notice this? In widescreen the album art for a song is correct - if portrait mode the album art seems random. If you change orientation the album art changes (from right (in widescreen) -> to wrong (in portrait) and back again).

+Anyone else notice this? In wide screen the album art for a song is correct - if portrait mode the album art seems random. If you change orientation the album art changes (from right (in widescreen) -> to wrong (in portrait) and back again).+
Mine is just reversed--In portrait mode, the song playing has an accurate artist, song title and album cover. Switch the portrait to landscape (horizontal) and the album cover and song title is correct but one artist is ALWAYS the listed artist regardless of the song and title. The artist NEVER changes in my landscape mode.
