Itunes 10.4.1 album artwork issues.

When I click get info and paste in album artwork from cds that I have imported, it shows up in the box, but when I click OK nothing happens! Help me fix this!
This always happens with all my cds, when I get info in the library it doesn't work, but when I get info from my ipad the 'artwork' box is greyed out!!

The 10.5 series of updates has ganked artwork for me as well. In fact, on a few occasions attempts to add artwork have resulted in the corruption of the music track itself. I dragged/dropped artwork, artwork box on interface turned black and track was destroyed even though it still appeared to be there (i.e. not a "dead" track). Clicking on it would result in a short static blip and then it would go to the next track and do the same on down the line to each track I'd attempted to add art to.
Also, iTunes now randomly decides when, and when not to show artwork that is visible when you check Get Info > Artwork. Sometimes you see it in the interface, sometimes you don't. Finally, the excellent "embed artwork" script described above no longer works - returns a "parameter error."
Situation is the same on both my (brand new) iMac and my MBP which have totally separate/different libraries, so it's gotta be the updates. Hopefully they'll catch up with it. If anybody has any info on what else might be happening here (i.e. do scripts become outdated?) I'd love to hear your thoughts.

  • ITunes 8: When downloading album artwork for making thumbnails, it quits?

    I just installed iTunes 8, and I tried opening it. It then starts to download the album artwork thumbnails, then all of a sudden a message shows saying,
    "iTunes has stopped working, Windows is trying to blablabla.."
    Then it forces you to closes the program. I tried pressing cancel before the message pops-up, but when I try to scroll down, it forces me to quit. Any fixes?

    If iTunes 8.0 is crashing or freezing while creating artwork thumbnails, you may have a file containing corrupt artwork in your library. The steps to identify that file are somewhat complex and will involve moving and deleting some files, so only attempt them if you are pretty comfortable with performing those tasks.
    When you first open iTunes 8, iTunes scans through your album artwork to build a thumbnail cache. You can disable this scan by opening iTunes in Safe Mode.
    To open iTunes in Safe Mode:
    Mac: Hold down the Command and Option keys while opening iTunes
    Windows: Hold down the Ctrl and Shift keys while opening iTunes
    If you open iTunes in Safe Mode, iTunes will only cache artwork from the album covers that are visible in the iTunes window. So you can view your library in grid view, and scroll down one row at a time. You will see iTunes generating the thumbnails for each of your albums as you scroll down. This may allow you to see which album is being processed by iTunes when the application crashes or hangs. Once you have an idea which files are causing the issue, locate the folder containing the files themselves in Finder or Windows Explorer, create a zip archive of the album, and delete the files themselves:
    To create a Zip archive of the album
    Mac: Right-click the folder in Finder that contains the album tracks and choose Compress <folder name>
    Windows: Right-click the folder in Windows Explorer that contains the album tracks and choose Send to Compressed Zipped folder
    After you have created a zip archive backup of the affected files, and deleted the originals, open iTunes normally (not in safe mode). Scroll back down to where you were when the crash occurred. If you got the right files, iTunes should just skip over that album and keep rendering thumbnails without crashing or hanging. If iTunes hangs or crashes right after the album that you thought was causing the issue, it may have actually been that next album, so repeat the zip and delete steps until you have found the problematic album.
    If you identify the album that contains the file that causes the problem, we would be interested in getting a copy of the files to try to analyze the issue further. Please email me <[email protected]> and I will tell you how to send in the affected files for analysis.

  • Bazaar Album Artwork Issue

    So I have a very strange album artwork issue with my iPhone 4. I've verified that the artwork is correct for the songs this is occurring with (each individual song, not the albums).
    When I play certain songs (only certain ones) I get a mosaic of incorrect album artwork.
    http://gallery.me.com/jsagurton#100012/Album%20Artwork&bgcolor=black
    I've again verified that in iTunes the album artwork is correct, and even copied the correct album artwork file to my desktop and then changed the artwork for this particular song to the correct artwork and resynced the device, and the issue still happens.
    The issue also happens in coverflow, if the song I'm playing has the weird album artwork. Once I scroll to another album though, the artwork goes back to the correct artwork in coverflow. Going back to the standard view brings back the incorrect artwork however.
    What's even more bazaar about this, is the mosaic isn't always consistent. A bunch of songs do this, but have different album covers making up the mosaic, and I have nothing in iTunes with a mosaic of artwork like this.

    I have the same problem and posted a request for help but no-one has replied with an answer. It annoys me greatly that APPLE will not assist and in fact want to charge me $29 to even look at the problem, when it is their buggy software that is at fault.
    Looks like we are destined to be screwed by APPLE over this.

  • Why can't iTunes find all the album artwork?

    Why can't iTunes find all the album artwork?

    That would fall under Browsing History. Firefox > History -> Show All History
    Firefox doesn't use Temporary Internet Files for anything except Windows Media files.
    Type '''about:cache''' in the URL bar and hit Enter. <br />
    Disk cache device = List Cache entries

  • Weird iTunes 10.6.3 missing album artwork issue

    I upgraded to iTunes 10.6.3 yesterday, and I had to restart my Mac for an unrelated issue. This afternoon, I noticed something really weird- all my "Documentary" movies that I purchased through iTunes Store have lost their artwork previews; meaning, if I click on "Movies" in the Library menu at left, then select the "Documentary" genre, and view the movies under "Grid" mode, none of the movies have any artwork along the left side next to the title. It has ONLY affected the "Documentary" movies, but none of my other genres. In fact, I created a separate sub-category for "Disney Documentaries", and those movies are missing the artwork in "Grid" view as well. If I view all Movies in "List" mode, all the movies have artwork EXCEPT the Documentaries.  Interestingly enough- if I select a Documentary movie and type "Cmd+I", then select the "Artwork" tab in the "Information" window. the artwork is still there, it just doesn't show in the "List" or "Grid" view.  How can I fix this? I am currently rebuilding the Spotlight Index, I've repaired permissions, and even done a verify/repair with Disk Utility, but nothing has worked so far. I've already checked the "Automatically Download Missing Album Artwork" under Preferences, but that didn't solve the problem either. The movies all play fine otherwise, but this little glitch is frustrating me. Please help!

    I have this issue.  Album artwork was totally fine before.  After this update, it is all messed up and even got messed up when transferred to my iphone.
    iTunes doesn't have the artwork anymore, but then iPhone has it but shows wrong artwork with wrong albums.
    Please fix!

  • ITunes 7.0.2 get Album Artwork issue

    Hello,
    I use iTunes 7.0.2. I am putting all my cd's onto my new MBP and for some reason iTunes stopped finding Album Artwork for Albums it already found in iTunes 6 and 7.0.1 when I use the "get Album Artwork" function in "advanced".
    I already looked at http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=304339 and tried it with this option enabled and disabled but none of it helped.
    I also looked through 10 pages of the forum already with the search but did not find any help for my problem. so I hope you can help me.
    Thanks,
    Sebastian

    I've just installed 7.0.2 and have the exact same issue. I just imported several CD's and iTunes refuses to find the album art. I've confirmed the ablums exist in the iTunes Store.

  • Album Artwork Issue

    Just got the Beatles box set, everything's tagged correctly (obviously, it's from the iTunes Store itself), and yet, some of the albums in the set won't load their artwork. At random, some have the artwork, some don't. To reiterate, I've double-checked all the tags, and they match perfectly with iTunes, but when I right-click and select 'Get Album Artwork' nothing shows up! I've even tried restarting iTunes, restarting my Mac, etc... to clear any caches or whatever might be holding this up. The problem persists. I've tried dragging 'manual album art' from Amazon, etc..., then deleting that, and getting the album artwork from iTunes again, yet the same problem: no artwork is ever downloaded for these specific "diseased" albums. Someone please help! Thank you.

    Nevermind. After a few days and repeatedly trying this again, it seems to work. I now have all the proper album artwork downloaded from iTunes. I suppose this was just a server issue on Apple's end. The servers might have been too overloaded when I first got the albums the day of release. It works now.

  • I NEED HELP! IPOD AND ALBUM ARTWORK ISSUES

    I can use the music store and surf the internet fine. BUT, I try to use the ministore and with the new itunes, update mmy ipod and download album artowrk, it says itunes cannot connect, please make sure my connection is active. I tried the network diagnostics and it said network failed, but in the report, it says it connected to the music store. I dont understand, this shouldnt be because I can use the music store no problem. What is odd is on my other accounts on the computer, this issue doesnt exist. I dont recall changing any settings. Can someone help please?

    You can get album artwork from various other sources as well as Amazon. You can even locate artwork using Google image search by using the artist or album name. I find this site is a good source of artwork: CD/Album Cover Art Search from SlothRadio.
    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

  • ITunes 12 syncing incorrect album artwork

    When syncing music from iTunes 12 to my iPhone 5s, several songs have incorrect album artwork. I have attempted completely deleting all music from my phone and reinstalling this content, however; this error is still occurring. The correct album artwork is appearing in iTunes.

    In certain cases where the same album title is used for more than one album or sort values are used to try to group different things together I have seen the artwork index on an iPod classic get out of sync so that say the 20th album shows the artwork from the 19th and the 50th from the 48th etc. Can't say I've noticed it on an iOS device, but this type of issue is fixed by populating tags consistently as described in Grouping tracks into albums.
    Assuming everything is otherwise correct in iTunes this method will normally sort things out.
    Backup device.
    Restore as new device.
    Restore backup made earlier.

  • ITunes can't get album artwork for songs iTunes has in the store... how do i fix this?

    i have a bunch of songs that either have the wrong album artwork or none at all.  the weirdest thing is that some of the albums are SOLD on iTunes. in fact, if i highlight one of my songs in iTunes, Ping sees it and shows me the correct cover art. BUT when i click "get album artwork", it tells me it cannot find the artwork. i've tried matching the text (song title, album title, artist, genre) exactly as it is in iTunes, but that doesn't help. it is doing this for about 60 of my albums and i don't know how to fix it. how can i get it to find the artwork?
    also... when iTunes finds the WRONG artwork, how can i direct it to the correct one?

    Albums, artists and complications must match precisely for iTunes to get a hit.  If you have a compilation, chances are you have a 'various artists' for an album artists ... there is a bit of a science to it.  I've managed to get most of my 'picky ones' to match.  But I have some that just won't - for whatever reason.

  • ITunes does not show album artwork for FLAC files

    I add FLAC music files to iTunes via Fluke which works perfectly.
    Then I add the album artworks to the albums as usual (select all songs/right click/get info/info/then drag and drop a previously downloaded .jpg file). The artwork is visible in the Artwork column, in the Cover Flow but not in the right click/get info/info/artwork.
    Which would not be a problem itself, but I use a Logitech Squeezebox Duet and on the controller there is no artwork for albums with FLAC files.
    It is only with FLACs, MP3s work fine.
    Any idea, what is it all about?
    Thanks!

    I knew that.
    That was really my question how to solve it if there is a workaround.

  • Getting iTunes Setup Asssistant "Download Album Artwork" Message On Startup

    I have upgraded to version 7. Now everytime I start iTunes I get a 'iTunes Setup Assistant' box pop-up talking about downloading album artwork. I then have to click cancel or OK before iTunes loads. This is very, very irritating. How do I stop this???

    I think that the iTunes database in your Windows user profile might be corrupted. I managed to solve the problem by creating a new database and reimporting my songs into the library. The album art downloaded automatically after that.
    1) Check the Automatically download missing album artwork is selected on the General tab in iTunes preferences
    2) Close iTunes
    3) Rename the iTunes folder (usually found in +My Music+)
    4) Reopen iTunes (this creates a new iTunes folder in +My Music+)
    5) Copy and paste the contents of your music folders (+iTunes Music+ folder) into the newly created +iTunes Music+ folder
    6) Reopen iTunes and select File > Add Folder to Library > Browse to your iTunes folder in +My Music+ > OK
    Your music will then be imported into the new iTunes database and the album art should be downloaded automatically.

  • Vista Problem - iTunes 7.02 Scrambles Album Artwork

    5G iPod Video and Windows Vista...
    All seemed OK until I started watching for the album artwork on my iPod. It appears that iTunes has decided to rearrange the artwork for the music. All is still well on my PC - but for now I'll have to put up with strange combinations of art & music.
    Just wondering ... is Apple time different than PC time? Their estimate of "the next few weeks" has been posted for - well, the past few weeks. I wonder if they're getting any closer?
    Best of luck,

    Yes, I have the exact same problem. I copy and paste album artwork from a website and a week later it's disappeared from itunes. I have over 17,000 songs and it's taken me an age to get the artwork in now only for it to disappear on me. Very frustrating. Hopefully someone reading this may be able to help.

  • Itunes 7.1 deletes album artwork

    I've upgraded to itunes 7.1 but it is having a problem keeping the album artwork saved. I've pasted artwork into itunes for all my albums and up until yesterday everything was fine, then I added another couple of albums and associated artwork but then found that artwork for a few other albums had been removed by itunes. I've tried to copy it all back into itunes but then other artwork disappeared. It's almost like ITunes wil not except any more artwork. All artwork is copied from google images. Has anybody had this problem?
