HT1758 iTunes not transferring my own cover art to my iPhone.

I have been having trouble, within the last month, with iTunes transferring my own cover art to my iPhone. I used to be able to attach any cover art that I wanted and it would transfer without any problem. Nw the only cover art that will transfer is only the cover art that iTunes provides. Is there a setting I need to change?

All the artwork did transfer, even got a few new ones that I didn't have. Before I did a sync with the new imac, my phone had all the cover art on it. Now that I transferred everything with homesharing, I did a sync and it said it had to replace everything. Now all the music is on my phone, but with no cover art except for the ones I downloaded through itunes.

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!

Can I force iTunes not to embed custom album art, but store it separately?

(I only use iTunes to manage my 16GB iPod nano 5th gen and update my mother's iPad.)
Now as far as I am aware, when iTunes downloads album art, it stores it separately from the audio files, and thus several tracks share the same image file for their artwork. This seems economical to me, considering the space limitations that most Apple devices have.
But if you set your custom album art, iTunes embeds it into the audio files themselves, so each has a copy of the artwork, and thus the total size of artwork increases about tenfold. Now this is okay when storing the audio files on personal computers, but is quite stupid for devices with limited storage capacities. It really depends on the size of the artwork and the bitrate your audio is encoded to, but I calculated I could put an extra 300MB of music onto my iPod if I could just somehow force iTunes to store my custom album art separately, not embed it into the audio files by default.
Does anybody have an answer/solution to this problem, or do I have to look beyond iTunes to do this?
Thanks!
(Note that I do not wish to use the iTunes download artwork service, as it is quite unreliable and the artwork is of low quality.)

I have songs on my iPhone 5 that have been purchased through iTunes that isn't displaying cover art. Please help!

I have a few songs, quite a few actually, that have been purchased through iTunes and they aren't displaying the cover art on my iPhone. They have previously, but now for some reason it has stopped. Only on a few.
Can anyone help me?
I have the latest version of iTunes and I'm using a PC with Windows 7.

HT1296 Syncing my iPhone with Outlook in iTunes only transfers the information from Outlook to my iPhone

Syncing my iPhone with Outlook, in iTunes, only transfers the information from Outlook to my iPhone, not vise versa. How can I configure it to transfer data from my iPhone to Outlook as well?

I had a backup from outlook that I restored to outlook and then used Itunes to sync the Iphone
I had to turn off the ICloud sync
The only problem now is that it does not sync my calendar or contacts unless i plug the phone into my compluter and tell Itunes to sync them

Why is my latest itunes not syncing music with my music on my iphone 4s with iOS 7?

Why is my latest itunes not syncing music with my music on my iphone 4s with iOS 7?

Here's what I did. If you have an existing playlist and add a song to it, drag the whole playlist into the phone icon. It will ask if you want to Replace the playlist..YES. In my case i added one song in the playlist to test it. It synced the one song and also kept all the other songs but it didnt run through every song, so it was really fast. This is what I would do...drag and drop. Also, I shut down my phone and started it again, before I did the sync. I hope this helps

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 ;-)

ITunes 7.71 problem with cover art for 24 bit AIFF files

I am unable to add cover art to 24 bit AIFF files. Was able to do this with iTunes 7.7.

I think I have discovered the same problem (no solution, unfortunately, though) working with some shared files from GarageBand, which I believe are 24 bit AIFF at this point. I will have to check when I get back to the computer with my stuff on it, but at least I don't think I'm going crazy when I tried to save.
I could put artwork into the "info" area, and it would stay there so long as the track was playing, but once the track re-played, the artwork was gone. I have even synched my iPod and iPhone, and the artwork has shown there, but I have to try synching when the track is NOT playing to see if it is only capturing the artwork while it's on the file. But, I thought that was weird as well.
I will keep coming back here until hopefully a solution is posted. Here. Or somewhere. Any similar experiences, please also post. I feel better knowing others are experiencing the same or differing but similar difficulties.

ITunes 10 crashes when viewing cover art

running itunes 10 on windows xp sp3:
itunes crashes reproducibly after these steps:
1. play a song
2. select other song
3. click on album art work in left lower corner of itunes window
4. try resizing the windo that opens
--> itunes crashes
anybody else seeing this? workaround?
cheers,
-- Peter

when clicking the cover art in the lower left corner of the song being played then iTunes shows player controls when the mouse is hovered over the artwork window. when another song is selected for artwork display it cannot activate player controls and crashes as soon as the window is resized.
Hah! I've been resizing the wrong thing. I take it back, Peter, I can replicate your issue in its entirety (XP SP3 English localisation). Same iTunes.dll being cited by my "iTunes has encountered an error" message when I click the "Click here" link in the error message.
Level 4 and 5 members here get access to a "Notable New Technical Issues" forum (in the Lounge), so I'll write this up over there (probably later on ... it's coming up for 2.30 am in New Zealand).
At your end of things, it's possible to make bug reports via the iTunes product feedback form:

But if you want to track a bug report, it's possible to sign up (for free) as an Apple developer:

Why does iTunes randomly change my album cover art?

For some reason (usually after I sync my iphone 5s to my laptop), iTunes (or the phone) will switch out random album cover art. Why is this happening? Is it a bug? It's driving me crazy!

Can sync episode and name but not TV series name, cover art or episode no.

Hi, I have put a TV series into my iTunes account, but as i mentioned the TV Series name and episode number don't sync on my phone, the video plays fine. With the cover art it syncs a different videos art (but that video is in the film section as appose to this one which is in the TV episodes section) the cover art it shows is of the one film that is on my phone. I keep all TV and film on a external hard drive which I plug in when I want to watch a film or sync them to my iphone. This shouldnt affect it because the film i have works fine, its just this tv episode.

Solved this issue by deleting and re-adding the TV Show manually.

Problems with HP TouchSmart 300 and Itunes - not transferring to iphone 4s or the new ipad

Hi
I've got problems with trying to transfer music to my iphone 4s or new ipad with itunes on this computer. It will only transfer some songs....and what it does transfer is not complete i.e. starts 10 seconds in etc. It doesn't do this with our ipods, which are both new. Music transfers fine onto them. We never had this problem with our old acer laptop.
It also does this with photos, but I bought a camera connector for that problem. This Touchsmart has always been a bit jittery with itunes, but still worked after for playing music music after launching task manager, and opening again. This does not rememdy this issue. I read a while back that people suggested completely removing itunes (and all it's components such as bonjour etc, but I'm not sure how to do this)and re-installing it all again.
I believe this is a HP issue with software compatability with itunes and the 4s and ipad. If anyone could help - that'd be appreciated, as it's driving me mad!!
Thanks

Hello funcdoc:
I just got back from speaking with my friend. He said that only mp3 files can be loaded into your Iphone. Yes you can use the windows media center as I mentioned above post in case Itunes software still isn't working for you. I asked him about that also. He will be here on Thursday some time after 3:00 p.m. Eastern Standard Time. To give you direction on how to load music mp3 from Itunes into your I phone as well. He is going to give you the links for downloading other music websites like you tube. He said you need this software as well. He is a casher was working to night it was to busy for him to write all this all down for you. He has college classes he goes during the day and works at night. He has been doing this since he was 11 years old. Like you he is in to his music.
I hated it when he would use my computers because all the malware he use to put on my computers and the Itune always updateing pop up would always display. Then he would mess up my settings. This time my computer has software that can delete and fix up his mess he makes. So just relax for now if need be we can go live chat with any messengers you like to use Skype will allow you to view my computer screen. He is an expert using Apple's software. You have already updated your computer software solution 25 has the one for fix USB and other ports issue you desribe in your second post . You have a fresh copy of Itunes installed so that covers every thing. If he isn't to busy in the store tomorrow I will see if he can write down some of the direction for you. He will be here for sure on Thursday for sure just for you. Ok. Remember only mp3 music files can be uploaded unto I phones. frrw

ITunes not transferring all songs from my playlists to my iPhone. Only a handful gets transferred.

I have a Mac Mini that I recently bought and transfered my iTunes Library from my previous Macbook to the mini.
I can see all the songs in iTunes (running in the Mini) and can also play them, all playlists intact.
Now when I tried to synch my iPhone with the iTunes (in the Mini) it all went fine, except that after the synching a lot of my songs are missing from my iPhone.
I tried to run the synch again, but did not help.
Can you please let me know how I can have all the songs synched to my iPhone.
Thanks
Debz

Yes of course.
In fact all the missing songs were in my iPhone4 before I did my synch with the new Mini.
And before the synch I made sure that all required playlists are checked for synching in iTunes.
This is very annoying ... I think my last resort is to do a factory reset and then connect to my Mini to build it from scratch. But I would wanna avoid that as much as possible.
