Grrrrr!  Some iTunes Extras Artwork Missing....AGAIN!

I had to tackle this issue a couple of weeks back but it's reared its ugly head again.
Last time, all iTunes Extras movies artwork vanished.  I ended up having to delete the movies and redownload the films from the 'purchased' section of iTunes.  Hey-presto!  Artwork back!
My problem now is that only some of the artwork for iTunes Extras has gone.  I have tried redownloading films as before but the artwork is still not there.  If you do the usual 'Get info' on the film and look at the artwork section it is blank.  Adding an image to this seems to work until you 'ok' it. Then it doesn't show and is blank again when you go back in. 
Any clues?

Anybody got the same problem like me ?
Yes, Vaio owners world-wide have been battling this problem for about 2 years. It's some bad Sony software that deliberately attacks itunes. Apparently 4 months ago, you launched the Sony media center that came pre-installed on your machine.
Upgrade the Vaio Media software, as mentioned here:

And here is the thread from 2 years ago where it was discover the Sony bloatware was causing it:

  • The play option is not available on some iTunes extra titles on Apple TV

    With the latest update iTunes extra has been added to Apple TV, which is pretty cool.  BUT some titles do not have the "play" option once you are in the iTunes extra menu.  All the features are there, but the play option is not.  This is particularly happening with the movie Planes.  Other Disney titles, and non-disney titles, seem to irk fine.  It works from my MacBook Pro.  I have logged out and back into iTunes on my ATV with no change.  Any ideas?

    It sounds like lack of testing with these titles in all honesty.
    I guess you could also alert itunes Store support to this.  Hoepfully it's just the odd title here and there, and something that can be quickly fixed, but kids won't understand that!
    I'm dissapointed that the old Extras I have downloaded in iTunes won't work as they would with AppleTV 1 when streamed from iTunes.
    Uncertain if you can download Extras to iTunes anymore either if they are cloud dependent and in some new format perhaps.  Yet to try but I don't think they'd work via Home Sharing.

  • ITunes 12 artwork missing but really missing

    As you can see here. The file has artwork attached but it's not showing up in iTunes. It's sporadiac which albums appear not to have the artwork and these albums will also not transfer the music file with artwork to my iPhone. I'm obsessive with tagging so I know what I am doing. Anyone else having this issue?

    1.  Go through each of the sources Music, Movies, etc. and select Playlists. Use the ellipsis ... to enable the sources you want to see. Apps, Tones, and Internet Radio don't have a Playlists button, the others do and remember your selection. Not quite the same as it used to be, but not too different. Other view controls are available from the drop down at the right-hand side.
    2. The search features on this forum are somewhat inscrutable, particularly the initial quick search tool. Google may serve you better although I can usually find what I want here. This is a search on the terms iTunes 12 sidebar limited to the iTunes for Windows community space.

    3. Apple don't generally monitor these boards for feedback or bug reports. You can report problems via the relevant feedback form, e.g. iTunes Feedback, or sign up for a free Apple Developer Connection account and make use of Apple Bug Reporter.
    I would draw your attention to the terms of use at the foot of the page, in particular 1.2.4 "Do not post polls or petitions or links to same." It is one thing to tell someone where to post feedback if they ask, quite another to seek out threads just for the purpose of encouraging feedback and with no other constructive message.

  • Errors when downloading itunes extras for movies

    what do i need to do to get some itunes extras to download on my computer? I keep getting an error message of (err= -19) but when i go to retry to download them it just goes back to the error message.

    I have just received an e-mail from Apple iTunes Support and they have issued me with a FULL refund of the purchase price of Avatar and the ( seemingly ) unobtainable iTunes Extras!
    I seemed to be getting nowhere after Apples iTunes Support put me through the ringer making me re-try the download ( twice! ); delete my downloads folder and re-try the download AGAIN; and finally having to re-setup my old HP DV7 laptop ( I'm currently using a 17" MacBook Pro Retina ) and retry the download yet AGAIN!
    Needless to say the outcome in each case was exactly the same! Avatar the movie downloads perfectly and The Extras file fails at zero% with TWO error 8003s!
    Through all this I did everything, no matter how seemingly stupid it seemed that was asked of me and CONTINUED to insist that the fault was on their side and NOT mine!
    iTunes support have finally advised me that they don't know when or even IF the file will be checked/repaired and in view of that and that I am a valued customer ( I'd want to be after buying 1.5TB of Music, Movies and TV Shows ) that they would refund me the FULL price I paid for the Movie and Extras!!
    So, I would urge ALL of those who have written to this forum to write again to iTunes Support and DEMAND full refund for a faulty product ( the Movie PLUS Extras ), citing MY SUCCESS as precedent for that refund.
    I'm saddened that it seems impossible to make Apple fix this file, but at the very least we should be re-imbursed for our trouble ( and our ability to put up with sh*t <sigh> )
    So, good luck and start demending your right to a FULL refund!

  • Why is some artwork missing from my iPod when it is correct in iTunes?

    I have had great trouble trying to sync my iPod Touch (4th Gen running iOS 6.0.1) with iTunes (10.7.0.21) for Windows. Every 2000 or so tracks (out of about 15,000), iTunes says that some tracks could not be copied and that the connection with the iPod has timed out. This has resulted in losing up to 12,000 already synced tracks, and having to startagain from scratch (at least three times). I have resolved the issue by just syncing two or three albums at a time until the fault occurs, and making sure that there is no syncing taking place when I have to do a hard reset to close iTunes. The problem I'm having now is that there are several albums with the artwork missing - despite the fact that it was ok on previous syncs, and the fact that it is all present and correct in iTunes! I've heard that you should clear the artwork cache - is this correct, and if so how do you do it?
    Any suggestions gratefully received!
    Andrew Morten

    All I can suggest is:
    Try:
    - Unsync/delete all music and resync
    To delete all music go to Settings>General>Usage>Storage>Music>Tap edit in upper right and then tap the minus sign by All Music
    - Restore from backup. See:                                               
    iOS: Back up and restore your iOS device with iCloud or iTunes
    - Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.                       

  • ITUNES doesn't always load up and some artwork missing!!

    I have all my music on en external hard-drive and the itunes and artwork on my c:drive, occasionally when I open itunes it says importing itunes, this goes on for a while then it says it couldn'nt find the file and has renamed it itunes library damaged, it then opens itunes with all my songs but with alot of the artwork missing, this happens about once a fortnight - aarrhhh, why??
    Thanks

    Ok, so I went and found the album I was looking for and dragged it in, but the image is pretty poor.  Is that the best we can hope for?  Why can't Apple allow us to drag the image from iTunes store? Or better yet let us import the artwork without buying the album since I owned the album/cd long before there was any such thing as Apple, iTunes or iPods?

  • ITunes can not run because some required files are missing.

    I got a message that said something like "iTunes can not run because some required files are missing. reinstall itunes." I tried to reinstall iTunes but I kept getting that message. So, i uninstalled it, and tried to install it again. this did not work. I think that Quicktime is actually what is broken, because iTunes installs fine, but the Quicktime installation failed. When the installation failed, i got a message that said, "Installation failed: error code: -3"
    I then tried installing Quicktime with the standalone installer. The installation got further, but it then failed as well, giving the error code -1603.
    What can I do to get this reinstalled, and if you can't answer that, how can I contact Apple from Iraq? Thank you.

    hmmm...that happened to me at one point to, and I'm trying to think back, I believe I was able to uninstall it by using the standalone installer.....
    Try these steps and see if anything helps, and then in the troubleshooting section, look up the specific error number you are receiving...

  • Artwork Missing from Front Row 2 with Shared iTunes

    From what I can see this is not solved in X.6.5
    This topic is closed:
    http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1195773&start=0&tstart=0
    I suggest to reopen one here. Cool if all affected users send the following message to Apple via the feedback form (http://www.apple.com/feedback/macosx.html):
    +Dear Apple dev team,+
    +I would like to know what is the status in resolving the original Bug ID# 3792802 "Artwork Missing from Front Row 2 with Shared iTunes".+
    +This issue has been around since Mac OS X.5.2, and is to my knowledge, still not resolved in X.6.5+
    +Thank you in advance for your answer.+
    Post your progress here. Thanks.

    This issue is still not solved in X.6.6,...
    By the way, no one has bothered answering to this topic. I'm saying sending feedback to Apple is a good idea, but that is the only way I could figure. Any other ideas from your side?
    Has anyone sent feedback to Apple? If not, please give their dev team some feedback about this issue.
    Thanks. Comments appreciated.

  • I received a gift card and when I redeemed it an error message said that I had some itunes files missing and that I needed to reinstall itunes.  Will I still have all my credits when I download itunes?

    I received an online gift card for Father's Day.  When I tried to redeem the gift then I received a error message saying I had some itune files missing and I needed to reinstall/download itunes.  Will I still have my previous purchase credits after downloading and reistalling itunes? 

    You will, because the credited funds are on your iTunes account, not the application. When you reinstall iTunes just configure it with your old iTunes account and your credits will be there waiting for you.

  • I'm getting a message that says itunes cannot run b/c some required files are missing.  Please reinstall itunes.  I'm scared to, I don't want it to replace my current itunes and lose all my music!

    I'm getting a message that says itunes cannot run b/c some required files are missing.  Please reinstall itunes.  I'm scared to because I don't want to lose my music.

    Reinstalling iTunes simply replaces the application.  It shouldn't affect your media.  You do have backups, right?

  • I recently upgraded from an 80 to 160GB Classic but only some of the artwork in iTunes is synching. There was no problem with the old 80Gb classic. any suggestions?

    here is an interesting thing: take the iphone and set lock screen to never. Now make an email with siri--be sure to activate her with call button. get to the body and get some text in there. then just stop talking. LOCK SCREEN APPEARS!!!!!! and of course you draft is gone.
    There does seem to be a work around for some--maybe all these issues. Don't use the call button--use the buttons on the phone.
    Siri seems to behave properly with scenerio above---sans call button. She does not go to lock.

  • I purchased the Cars and Cars 2 bundle using my iPad.  When I loged in with iTunes, the movies started to download to my laptop but somehow, I deleted Cars but Cars 2 and the iTunes extras for both are still there.  How do I get Cars to download again?

    By the way, I just purchased this movie last night.  I somehow deleted Cars while the other parts of the bundle were still downloading.  I tried looking into iClod but I was unable to find a link to download the movie again.

  • Itunes cannot run because some required files are missing...vista 64 bit OS

    I'm running on a Vista 64 bit HP computer, and I have been trying to download itunes for the past couple days and all it says is Itunes cannot run because some required files are missing please reinstall itunes...I have no idea what to do...i have looked around the forums for information and I guess I'm not the only one having issues using a 64 bit OS. Btw the 64 bit Itunes won't work either. It does the same exact thing...

    all it says is Itunes cannot run because some required files are missing please reinstall itunes
    I'd like to check for malware with that message, Nico. (With modern versions of iTunes, if files really were missing, iTunes would be much more likely to do a repair install of itself when you wen't to launch it, rather than returning the old-fashioned files-are-missing message.
    Download and install the free version of MalwareBytes AntiMalware. Update your MBAM definitions and run a full scan of the PC. (Takes about 2 hours on My Lenovo.)

  • Some artwork missing from iPod

    i have a 5th generation 80gb video iPod. i have spent several hours on Google Images downloading and adding artwork for all my albums that are not available on iTunes. when i updated my iPod, however, some of this artwork does not display on my iPod. all of the artwork that i downloaded from the iTunes store shows on my iPod. all of the artwork i added manually shows in iTunes. however, some of the artwork i added manually shows on my iPod, and some does not. i can't figure out why some of it shows and some doesn't. i have been very careful to make sure i add the artwork to every single song, and not just for an album. does anyone have any suggestions for me?

    I have the same problem. I added artwork manually to all the songs I burned from my CD's. They were all working fine until one day about 40% of them won't display anymore on my iPod, but they are visible when looking at the song through iTunes to the iPod while connected.
    I have done searches on this topic and have concluded that Apple has no idea what is wrong, what causes it, or how to fix it. There are many, many, many unanswered questions about this topic.
    People say to deselect the display options via iTunes then reselect it. But why? That does not work. And I think it assumes that everyone is synching 100% of their songs between iPod and iTunes (I don't, because I don't want many of those songs on my iTunes, but want them on my iPod).
    I would really like to know the root cause and have a reliable solution from someone. The artwork is on the iPod, but it just does not display it anymore on 40% of my songs.
