Is side panel album artwork no longer visible in iTunes 11.x?

I have been frustrated by the inability to view album artwork in the side panel, for songs selected in list view. In iTunes 10.x, it was possible to add album artwork for a song (or group of songs) by dragging to the box on the side panel. Is this a thing of the past we have to adjust to, or am I missing a simple check box feature that allows the album artwork to be displayed in the side panel?

I'm having this problem too. The artwork was there and it doesn't matter if it's been sync'd to the iphone or not. The artwork has just gone missing. I have noticed that it also does this for the artwork on my TV shows. The TV shows were not purchased on iTunes but imported over. The artwork was there to begin with.
I have also noticed that if I 'Get Info' for the file in iTunes on either music or TV shows then the artwork come back.
However, I don't want to have to do this for all the files that are missing. For Info, it seems that around 10% of my artwork has suddenly gone missing.

IPod Classic no longer visible in iTunes after upgrade tp Yosemite.

I have just upgraded to Yosemite and the latest iTunes. But my iPod Classic is no longer visible in iTunes. It is on the desk top and I can drag files to it, but is there a way of restoring it to iTunes?

Hello Matto Grosso,
After reviewing your post, I have located an article that can help with devices not being recognized in iTunes. It contains a number of troubleshooting steps and helpful advice for the issue you are experiencing:

Why can't I view album artwork in column view in iTunes 11

What happened to the view album artwork in column view for iTunes 11?
It used to be in the previous versions.
It's so hard to add new artwork to the music now.

Sorry, but it's not there anymore as Apple has removed it

Some album artwork no longer displays

I recently started having a problem where some of my album artwork will not display on my Ipod. It does show on Itunes. Some are Itunes purchases and some not. I tried deselecting artwork and resyncing, then selecting it and resyncing again with no luck.

I removed all music from my ipod, then synced it back on, all 15 gig worth. That got artwork back, but some songs are showing artwork from different albums.

My album artwork no longer shows up in screensaver.

The artwork is still fine in iTunes. Any ideas?

I have just purchased a new Imac running 10.8 mountain lion, after loading new songs into itunes I too had no screen saver working showing the art work.
This had nothing to do with voice memos, no other items were connected so have tried this method and it works twice on both computers, the other is running leopard.
If all your music is on the main hard drive, check in finder and your itunes folders should be in music, all I did was make a new folder and call it music 2, make sure its under music on the left hand side, drag the itunes music folder containing only the music into this. From this go to itunes in applications delete itunes into trash, restart computer then download the latest version. When all opened up you should get a home page showing get music from icloud or scan for media, press scan and let the new version find it on your computer, when finished go to screen saver settings and notice the itunes screen saver working.
I don't know why this works either its a software fault with apple or just my luck, but I have had no problems since and looks greats on the screen.

ITunes album artwork - how can I stop iTunes downloading the wrong artwork?

I was delighted to see that in the upgraded iTunes there is a facility to download album artwork using, I presume, much the same methodology as downloading track listings.
While my experience of downloading track listings has largely been OK - save for the odd niggle; my experience of the artwork function has been appalling.
Firstly, any release that is territory specific, e.g. UK only, or compilations, downloads the wrong artwork or no artwork at all. But also, the wrong artwork is attributed for classic albums by established acts. E.g. Genesis' Duke, downloads the artwork for Three Sides Line. Also, I have two Led Zeppelin albums and in each case, the art work downloaded was for the cheesy tribute group DREAD Zeppelin!!
Can anyone from Apple comment on this?
Also, if I manually insert the correct artwork; will this be overwritten if in the future I scan for updated artwork across my music collection? I have 65GB+ music on my hard drive, so that is an awful lot of album covers to get through!
Thanks,
A

Manually added album art will not be overwritten.

Album artwork shows up right on itunes but not on ipod

I recently updated my album artwork and now, on itunes the album artwork is all correct, on my ipod while playing the music too, but when i click the center button twice to look at the album artwork in full screen mod it shows the same album artwork during every song...why?

If your iPod is set to update automatically give this a try , it usually sorts out wrong artwork problems:
1. Connect your iPod
2. Disable "Display album artwork" in iPod>Music tab and click Apply.
3. Syncronise the iPod with iTunes (Right click on the iPod icon and choose Sync from the menu)
4. Re-enable "Display album artwork" in iPod>Music tab and click Apply.
5. Syncronise the iPod again.

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).

Unable to print album artwork, though it is in iTunes

Hello,
I have iTunes 8.0.2.
I purchased an album from the iTunes store, removing it immediately from the 'Purchased' list for reasons I won't bore you with. I burned a CD and then went to print the artwork, to find that it came up blank in the preview. I checked in the 'Music' list, in artwork display mode, and the album is, indeed, there, with the correct listing and graphics. However, perhaps due to my having disrupted the cohesion of the album in some other way, whilst all others display 'Play album' when hovered over, this one shows up 'Play Selected'.
Can anyone tell me what I've done and how to correct it?
Many thanks,
Alpha

CDs don't contain artwork so you wouldn't find any connected with the files that were burned. When you download music from the iTunes Store a proprietary format artwork file for the tracks you download is placed into the Album Artwork folder inside your iTunes folder. That's why you can see artwork against the original file(s) in iTunes and not against the files on the CD. You should be able to print a CD insert for the album using the tracks in iTunes. Highlight the album tracks and go to Edit>Print>CD Jewel Case Insert, choose the style of insert you want from the Theme menu.

Getting Album Artwork for songs NOT in iTunes and ONLY on iPod

Hello
Am I missing something obvious here? I am struggling with the album artwork feature for use in the coverflow section of the iPod Classic 80GB. I do NOT keep all of my songs in iTunes as my laptop hard drive is just not big enough.
My problem is that highlighting the songs on my iPod once I've connected it to iTunes then selecting Get Album Artwork simply doesn't work. Only trawling through countless forums on various websites I've discovered that possibly the artwork is only updated for songs you have in the iTunes library or only for songs bought on iTunes. I have 1000s of CDs I've uploaded onto my iPod (surely lots of people do not keep their music in iTunes for the same reason as me - small hard drive?)
There MUST be a software fix for this problem that could be issued out? Or if not, somebody should come up with a fix on an independent website. By the way, all of my tracks on the iPod have had their info obtained from the Gracenotes system used through iTunes so not having matching info to iTunes cannot be a reason for the lack of artwork can it?
I'd love to hear a solution to this problem.
Thanks

My problem is that highlighting the songs on my iPod once I've connected it to iTunes then selecting Get Album Artwork simply doesn't work.
Correct. It's meant to access your iTunes library and add artwork from the iTunes store.
There MUST be a software fix for this problem that could be issued out?
Nothing that I know of because it's meant to work this way.
By the way, all of my tracks on the iPod have had their info obtained from the Gracenotes system used through iTunes so not having matching info to iTunes cannot be a reason for the lack of artwork can it?
No, because as I say, it's meant to add artwork in the iTunes library (although even this can sometimes be an issue if the album info obtained from Gracenote doesn't match what's in the iTunes store.)
If an iPod is set to manage the songs manually, then it's possible to add the artwork to the songs directly onto the iPod (when looking at them through iTunes) without adding it to the songs in iTunes. Just copy paste an album image from (say) Amazon into the artwork box in the bottom left corner when looking at the songs on your iPod through iTunes.
However, I have found that if you are adding artwork directly to the iPod via iTunes and not to songs in the library first of all, then some (or all) artwork may not display correctly.

Album artwork doesn't appear in itunes

I am really stuck. The album artwork doesn't appear when I am downloading my cds onto Itunes. I am on broadband so the album details download but no artwork.
I have read all the articles and I am using itunes 4.9, I have the preferences 'download album artwork' checked and still it doesn't appear in the bottom left hand box when I am copying my cd's.
Can anyone help?

Hi I had this problem, I got round it by ripping in Windows Media Player 10 and letting it download the Album artwork.
Also when viewing the actual folder that stores your music (eg my music) go into Tolls menu, then select options then select the view tab and uncheck the option 'Hide Operating System files' This lets you view the Album Art image files
Then add the MP3 files to your library in your itunes. Once in Itunes Select all tunes in an album, right click selct get info ,then double click Artwork box and load the Album art you want.
Its a pain, but hey you only need to do it once, oh and do not uncheck the Show Album Art option in Itunes, as this may give you an Unkonown Error 50, and then it wont let you rediplay the Artwork, you have to load it all agian.

Album Artwork on songs NOT from iTunes?

Hey
I bought some Hindi albums recently off some random music website (this was before I realized they were also on iTunes) and I tried using the "Get Album Artwork" feature for all of the songs, except it never works. It always tells me that the artwork could not be found. I am editing the song info so that they say exactly what the tracks in iTunes say, and yet it does not work. Is this because this feature only works on songs purchased from iTunes? What can I do?
Thanks

if iTunes store doesn't have the artist or the album, then no, the artwork cannot be added using iTunes' features - they just don't have the right image. I also have troubles when trying to find album artwork when the album NAME doesn't agree with how iTunes has spelled it. Try looking through the store and search for your artist by name and see if anything comes up. Else, you'll have to manually add them. Try looking on 'zon-Ama' for the image.

2 Problems: Album Artwork won't load and Itunes deletes podcasts

I have one minor problem and one major problem. The minor problem is that I try to get album artwork off the internet for some of my albums and I go to add the artwork in Itunes and when I add it, it doesn't show up, like I never added any. The second problem is that when I am in the podcast section looking at podcasts, downloading, and/or listen to some, it sometimes deletes a whole director, usually one or two of my video podcasts for no apparent reason and gets rid of the whole podcast in my directory. I can re download the podcasts, but its really annoying.

For the artwork not adding, make sure XP doesn't think the actual music file is read-only.
You might need to 'undo' read-only several folders above it and apply it to all subfolders.
FOr example, if you are trying to change artwork for
drive:path....\iTunes Music\Beastie Boys\Licensed to Ill
Make sure the "iTunes Music" folder is not read only.
For the podcast problem, right-click on the top-level podcast name and choose *Do Not Auto Delete* from the flyout menu.

None of the Album Artwork is displaying in the iTunes store?

I opened Itunes to search for the new Michael Jackson song, and noticed that ALL of the album artwork in the iTunes store is not displaying. All of my music in my personal iTunes library is displaying artwork correctly. In the iTunes store, all the movies, TV shows, books etc. is displaying correctly, it's only the music album art that is screwed up. Anyone know what's going on here?

same here. just noticed it tonight (Tuesday May 6) 11pm EST
