Album Art Missing in iPhone 16Gb 3G

When i transfer albums to my iPhone only some of the albums display album art. Every album in my iTunes library has album art, most of it I have manually attached to each album.
when i use the iTunes interface to look at the music on my iPhone it displays the album art in the "Selected Item" section in the bottom left corner. i have checked multiple albums, and every song in those albums has the artwork. so it displays the art in my iTunes library, it displays the art when i view the music on my iPhone in the iTunes interface, but it does not display the art when i scroll through the music using the iPhone.
am i totally missing something here?

This has been issue for long time even for iPods before iPhone.
The cause is this.
There are multiple ways of manually applying artwork to a song in iTunes. Only 1 is the best way to make sure artwork goes with the file.
The three ways are:
1. Drag a file/image to the bottom window where it displays artwork when a song is selected.
2. Using the "Find Album Artwork" option in the right click menu for a song.
3. Using "Get Info" option to bring up the Tags of the song and pasting a image into the artwork tab.
The 3rd is the best and only option you should use.
Here is why.
If you use the little artwork window and put images in there, or if you tell iTunes to find artwork, what it does is uses the image supplied or the one it finds and then saves that image to a hidden file on your computer. Then iTunes notes/saves a pointer to that file matched to song. So "iTunes" when playing or looking at the file will say, oh there is a pointer to a file, let me go find that file and display the image. All good and dandy for iTunes.
However when you move that file (manually to another machine or sync to a device) it just moves the media file. The hidden image doesn't go with it as iTunes just uses it.
So the 3rd option of using "Get Info" to get into the tag editor does it different.
In the tag editor you are literally editing data contained in the media file itself. Thus if on the Artwork tab in the tag editor if you paste an image in there, when saved it will embed the image into the media file itself. Thus if you move the file to another computer or sync, that file contains the artwork thus will always be available to it no matter where it is moved.
So in summary, ONLY ever add artwork by using the ArtWork tab in the tag editor (Get Info option).
Nice thing is too when you do, since it literally changes the file (can see date change property update...and filesize) then when you sync it will notice a file change and update the song on the device. If you use the other options, no change is ever done to the physical file thus you will notice the file not change it's change date or size, thus on syncing after assigning artwork those other two ways, it will not retransfer the file because to the iPhone/iPod, it has not changed so there is no need.

Album Art missing from one track

I've got a fair-sized CD collection, which I ripped to 320k MP3 a couple of years ago on a Windows machine. I've just imported the albums into iTunes on my iMac. I've managed to resolve a few problems, but this one has me beat:
One album has one track with no artwork. I realise that you have to import artwork on a per-track basis, so I assume that the artwork was missing from the ID tag when the album was originally ripped.
Thing is, I can't find the artwork anywhere else to re-import it onto this one track.
Is there any way of getting the artwork from another track on this album onto the track in question?

It is pretty simple. Just select the track with album art, drag the album art from the artwork window to desktop and you will have a .pictClipping file. Now select the track with album art missing and drag the .pictClipping into the artwork window and you are done.

ITunes not Finding Album Art (Which Does Exist)

For reasons that I have been unable to ascertain, iTunes cannot find album art for some albums that I have ripped. The art does exist on iTunes--I've done a search and checked. The song text matches; the album title appears to match; but iTunes politely informs me "Artwork could not be found."
This is not due to the fact that these are songs I have ripped myself; iTunes has found plenty of other album art for tunes I've ripped myself. Something else is going on. A couple of examples for folks to chew on:
Godzilla - Blue Öyster Cult - Don't Fear The Reaper: The Best Of Blue Öyster Cult
Mirror In The Bathroom - The English Beat - Beat This! The Best of the English Beat
Freeze-Frame - J. Geils Band - Freeze Frame
The Healer - John Lee Hooker - The Healer
There are plenty of others; that's just a sample. Any advice would be appreciated.

Hello,
so there's no way of adding new covers to iTunes by drag and drop to the left bottom box??? I have to add the cover with +I only?
I've tried yesterday to add the covers with a simlpe drag and drop into the useful bottom-left box.... It didn't work... C'mon Apple!
It kinda *****...
PS: Adding covers via the new "import cover from apple store" fonction doesn't work as well. Youth bugs I presume

Switched iPod format from PC to Mac OSX.5 - Album Art Missing in some songs

Has anyone else seen this problem? I am meticulous about adding art to albums I like, especially, so I know it was there before.
I switched from a Windows system to Macbook recently, and everything else seems great, but there is definitely some artwork missing. There is no consistency to what's missing - some I added myself by adding a .jpg to the folder where the songs were (auto-created by iTunes when I imported the song in), and some were brought in when I imported a CD.
Can I get iTunes (and my iPod) to find them again, or will I just have to re-add them?
Also - My music is all on an external USB drive which is plugged in to a G5 and I'm accessing it from my MacBook over wireless network. Would that make a difference? When I go on the G5, I see a folder I created on the PC for miscellaneous album art. From the MacBook, I cannot see that folder. I can see all the music folders around it, but just not that folder. ***? Why is that?

see doing the following helps
For Mac computer
1. Open the disk utility, hope your iPod appears there (left hand side), highlight it
2. Go to Tab “Partition”, click either “Delete” or “Partition”, if fails, skip this step and go to 3
3. Go to Tab “Erase” , choose Volume Format as “MAC OS Extended (Journaled), and click Erase, again if fails, skip it and go to 4
4. Same as step 3, but open the “Security Options....” and choose “Zero Out Data” before click Erase. It will take 1 to 2 hours to complete.
5. Eject your iPod and do a Reset
6. Open the iTunes 7 and click “Restore”
seems it could be some bad sectors on the HD of your iPod, if the above does not solve, then do a Restore with a PC, and see what happen

Album art missing under artists tab on iPad 2 running iOS 5

I restored my iPad 2 to iOS 5 as a new iPad. Everything synced fine the first time and all album art showed up perfectly, but when I synced a second time, for some reason my iPad ended up messing up all the album art in the music app, but only under the artists tab. I tried unsyncing all of the music, and then resyncing all of it again, but it did the same thing if I synced it again. Only 5 artists have album art showing, but the rest are blank, even though every single album in my music library has album art. The album art in the actual albums tab is fine. Here's a picture that shows what it looks like:

Yup, driving me mad! I use my Ipad2 for professional DJing but simply cant any more. It took me three days to re-organise all my music and albums and get all the artwork in. I made the MASSIVE mistake of clicking 'sync over wifi' in itunes and now half the album art is missing again. Every time I re-sync, different artwork appears and different artwork vanishes????
I have now wiped all my music and am re-syncing yet again to see if it works.
Does anyone from Apple exist and can explain what the heck is going on here as IOS 5 has rendered my device almost unusable for its main purpose. I have to say, I have gone from selling Ipads at all my gigs to telling everyone who comes up to have a look not to bother any more - its probably caused several hundreds of laughs already, not the kind of advert Apple wants I'm guessing????

Using iTunes to Download Album Art

I hope this hasn't already been asked and answered, but I couldn't find any threads.
What are the requirements to use iTunes' built-in method of obtaining album art from the store?
Does it simply match up Artist and Album terms? Or does it check other fields for consistency?
I've been using GimmeSomeTune (which only matches Artist/Album) and its been great, but if the same feature is built into iTunes, I may as well use that... the problem is, that it doesn't seem to be working on some albums and I am not sure what is missing. Thanks.

I think you're right, it looks at artist and album. It may also use Album Artist (which I always leave blank) and track number, but I'm not sure. Also, sometimes it just can't get the artwork right or the album isn't on iTunes. BTW, I'm going to try GimmeSomeTune now that you mentioned it.

Album Art Missing / Displaying Wrong Art

I just updated both iTunes and my iPhone to the latest version. After I synched my iPhone, two issues occurred:
1 - The wrong album art was displaying for the now playing song
2 - Then after I synched again, album art is missing for all music, podcasts, video on my iPhone (it is still in iTunes)
Anyone having the same issue or know how to fix this?

Same here. The album are is correct in iTunes, but if I play the song from my playlist, I get the wrong picture.
This only happens for the last playlist I created. Earlier playlists I created show the correct album art.
I may try deleting the playlist, and recreating it.

Album Art Missing/Not Showing Up...Among Other Things

Recently my new Q10 has decided to stop showing album art randomly - I say randomly as art work that used to show has now suddenly gone either black or now shows the default blue note art. I am practically OCD about my mp3 tags and while 3 different tagging programs say I have the correct art, my Q10 says otherwise.
And it's not just music per-say: I have recently come to the conclusion that there are no useful podcast apps yet out - I've tried about 4 "native" apps (or at least available in the app world store) and 5 different side loaded apps that claim to allow a user to manually add podcast episodes to the podcast folder as mp3s...another rant for another thread but those mp3 are also missing their respective art and one that I deleted ages ago (as it was corrupted) is STILL in my library and refuses to be deleted.
This all started after the update to 273 (no sign of anything after that)
I've tried rebooting my phone after removing the sd card, I've tried removing it from the music menu, the file is not on my phone so why is my library still showing it - even after it says the file no longer exists!?!?!?
Sorry to go on a rant/tangent but I actually really love my new Q10 but I HATE these niggling issues that seem to crop up like mushrooms everytime I try to do something, has anyone else had similar issues? Have they been fixed with the most recent update? Anyone else on O2 in the UK who actually has the update?
Sometimes I really hate technology....

ITunes fetching default album art from installed iOS app

Hello,
Whenever I import an MP3 file (by dragging it from Finder) with -no- embeded artwork into iTunes I'd expect this to be added with the default double quaver album artwork.
However the default artwork is instead taken from an iPad/iPhone app from my iTunes library! iTunes was assigning the icon from the World Atlas app, I removed this app, tried importing the MP3 file again and iTunes instead assigned the icon from a differrent app.
This happens with -all- MP3 files with no embedded artwork. MP3 files with embedded artwork are fine, with iTunes using the correct artwork from the file.
It seems iTunes has somehow lost the double quaver (I suppose it's still in iTunes/Contents/Packages somewhere) from a cache? But clearing this cache may not be a solution as, as I mentioned before when I delete the app from where iTunes assigns its image, it then proceeds to get the image from -another- app.
MP3 files with no embedded artwork show the double quaver fine in Finder.
Does anybody have any ideas on this?
Thanks very much in advance.

I've read it, and I'm not a legal person, so if you want to be sure you need to contact MS support or a legal expert, but my take is this:
- The mass download doesn't conflict with the TOU, just as long as it's an end user initiating the mass downloads. Once agents, robots, scripts and spiders initiate a mass download you are violating the TOU.
- Copy, store, cache is allowed assuming the end user has a valid subscription.
but the sample they gave with fetching data does not check for the user subscription, it checks for my developer subscription...
I contacted microsoft directly...let's hope they answer soon...I will post their answer here...
I can use the API as long as I put the "available on xbox music" badges on the album art as well

Itune display correct album art but i touch shows wrong album in genius mix

Hi there im using itunes 9.1.0.79 and i have an ipod touch 2g running version 3.1.3
Now the problem is the genius mixes on itunes is showing correct album art i.e. each of the four mixes are composed of four album art
ON ITUNES DANCE POP MIX CONSISTS OF SPICE GIRLS,LADY GAGA, KC AND SUNSHINE BAND AND AQUA.
THE SAME DANCE POP MIX DISPLAYS MICHAEL JACKSON, BRITNEY SPEARS, TATU AND SPICE GIRLS ON MY IPOD WHERE AS THE SONGS UNDER THE LIST ARE SAME ON THE COMPUTER AND MY IPOD
THERE IS A SAME PROBLEM WITH THE REST OF THE MIXES
EVERYTHING ELSE IS WORKING FINE ON THE IPOD EXCEPT THIS
can someone please help me find a solution and is anyone else also facing this problem......

You don't have a problem, and there is not solution. The album art you see for a genius mix is a representative sample of the albums contained in that mix. It is not all inclusive, there are other albums in that mix. When you mouse over a genius mix in iTunes, you'll see below the mix title that that mix is based on Artist A, Artist B, Artist C and others. When you play a mix, you'll see the album art changes from 4 covers to the album cover for the song now playing.
If you sync a mix to your iPhone/iPod Touch, the four covers will not be the same as those in iTunes, they will be 4 covers representing the albums included in that mix; however the description of the mix under the 4 covers will be the same as it is in iTunes. When you play a mix on your device, the art displayed is the art from the now playing song.
Mixes are not playlists, they are mixes of songs that sound good together. If you play a dance pop mix, it should be like tuning a radio to a dance pop station.
Bottom line, it is what it is. Listen and enjoy. Don't obsess about the minor details.

Some Album Art Missing in Albums/Artists/Genres

An issue with iTunes 11. I have noticed that I have several tracks that are not displaying the album art when I view them in the "Albums", "Artists", or "Genres" modes. I'm seeing the generic white box with the gray musical note, not the art. These tracks DO have art attached to them. The art is there when I bring up the track's "get info" box. It also displays next to the progress bar and in the pop-up album art player window that shows up when I click the art. But it's refusing to display in the main window in any of those three modes. How do I fix this?

Been watching this problem an these forums and no known (easy) fix.
What I've done is manually:
     From the ALBUMS pane, select the offending Album
               Select an individual track and do Get Info
               In the Get Info window, Press the Next button.
               That usually works .... but if not
               Select the cover art, cut it (CMD-X)
               Press the Next Button, then the Previous Button to go back to the empty pane
               Paste the art (CMD-V)
               Press OK to exit .....

ITunes sorting question - album art

Hi,
I currently have my itunes setup whereby it shows the album art for each album (this is the third possible viewpoint, of the four that you can select).
The trouble is, some of my albums have multiple singers in them (e.g compilation albums).
So, if I "sort albums by title", I get multiple versions of the same album art in a row, one for each singer. If I click the album art, only that one song comes up, rather than all the songs in the album.
In other words, I just want each album art to show ONCE, and for all the songs in that album to be displayed when I click on that album art. This works fine if the album has just the one singer on it, but if it has multiple singers, the problem above occurs.
Is there any way I can fix this?
Thanks

Setting the Album Artist will fix most of the problem, but for more information see my article on Grouping Tracks Into Albums in particular the topic One album, too many covers.

Album art missing, HELP!

I recently synced my iphone 4s with ios6 with iTunes 10.7. I manually manage my music and videos. None of the album art is on my phone. Help! I see this has been an issue but can't find a fix that works! Anyone??

Since you manually manage your iPhone, you will need to remove the albums from the phone (i.e. the version without artwork) and then put those album back on.
When they are put back on to your phone, iTunes will put the version it finds in your Library, which now has the artwork in it.
