Itunes 10.5 album art issue

I recently switched from iTunes 9 to 10.5.2. (I had previously tried 10.0 but had a great many issues with it and went back.)
At the moment I have two problems/concerns with 10.5.2:
-if I click on an album cover to enlarge it, it doesn't "fit to screen" automatically, I have to select it for the image and I can't find a way to make this permanent for all images, like in itunes9. How do I turn that on for all images?
-I cannot stand this miniplayer showing on top of the album image. How do I turn it off permanently?
I only use iTunes as an organizer/[player and for the iTunes store, I don't sync it with anything. But I don't want to look at the images in a postage-stamp and I don't need the player controls cuttering it up.
Thanks for any help. If I can resolve these two issues I can stay with 10.5.2 otherwise I'll have to switch back to something that isn't annoying.

Just found another thread on this and it seems like there is no way to fix this issue It's annoying because my the previous version of iTunes handled this problem fine.

My iPod 4G, after reset and iOS 6 install, now has only some album art after syncing music. Even music directly downloaded from iTunes is missing album art. (I'm using iTunes 11.0.1 on Windows Vista)

My iPod 4G, after a reset and iOS6 install, after I recopied and synced music, is missing most album art. Even songs directly downloaded from iTunes are missing album art. I'm using iTunes 11.0.1 on Windows Vista. My iPod isn't full. Whenever I go to "On This iPod" and add album art and sync, nothing happens. Please help :/

Try:
- Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Unsync all music and resync
- Reset all settings
Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
- Restore from backup. See:
iOS: How to back up
- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.

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

Itunes match sync album art work problem and poor quality art work issue

Hi There,
I have two issues with apple itunes and itunes match:
I seem to have a number of albums with poor quality artwork, now i have gone through the removed downloaded artwork and the right click and select the art work toggle box to remove the art work, after doing this I then ask to get the album cover from Itunes indervidually and high quality art work is down loaded and looks great for around 10-20 minutes then it seems to update slowley and revert to the old poor quality art work. Any Ideas? A simular thing that happens is that some art work that ive added manually is deleted. I have also gone into the itunes folder and deleted the album art work folder to force it to download new art work. Is there any way to lock in the art work that you know is good?
Itunes match after making changes to itunes albums I have then updated itunes match and my work is undone? This maybe complaations or album coers any ideas.
I am using itunes version 11.01
I have looked through the forum and read meany feeds about album covers but I havent found one that is reverting covers.
Many thanks guys

2G Ipod Touch picture and album art issues

I have a 2nd Generation 8GB Touch with 4.0.2 installed. Just recently I've noticed a couple of issues with it.
When I look at the photos stored, in the thumbnail view some of the photos are just a black box, but when I view the pics, they show normally.
When I am looking at the album art, a couple of the albums have wrong artwork showing, even though in iTunes it has the correct artwork showing there. For example one album has the artwork for a podcast that I no longer have synced to the iPod. If I browse to right to look at the next album, in the background where you see the album covers of the other albums, it shows the right artwork. Another album just has artwork for another podcast, but when I see it behind another album, it is showing the artwork for the podcast that I first mentioned earlier.
Has anybody else seen this or something like it and know how to resolve it?

I called Apple and was told that I needed to restore the iPod. The problem is that I had purchased and installed the January upgrade on my iMac and not my MacBook.
I restored the iPod on the iMac and then synced to the MacBook.
Problem solved!

Can someone help with an album art issue???

I am using iTunes 9.....this problem was in iTunes 8 too....but anyway....when i get a new album I make a new playlist and put the album in the playlist......and when I click the arrow that pulls out the sidebar to view the album art for the album each song has its own icon for album art.....but I would like the entire playlist to have one icon because they're all off of the same album......how might i manage this??
heres a link to another forum with pictures of what I'm talking about:
http://forums.majorgeeks.com/showthread.php?t=199060

I've dealt with that space after a title issue before, but usually with artist names. If the space after the title is different for different tracks, they are not identical, that's why my advice was to change them all at the same time.
I periodically scroll through my artists and albums in the column browser looking for just that sort of issue, because if they're not identical in itunes, they're going to be separated on my ipod.
And while I love making convoluted playlist systems myself, I agree with the unsolicited advice on separate playlists for every album. You are going to see slower loading times eventually.

5800 xpressmusic album art issue

got this phone yesterday and i have since transferred a bunch of music from my PC to my phone. however, only about 10% of all albums were able to automatically include the album art. alternatively, i had to manually add the album art for each album - provided if the album art could be found in the gallery. what's curious is that, when connected by usb to my PC, and because adobe photo starter pops up by default for any connected media device of mine, i could see that the album art images, which could not be found in the gallery (and hence unable to be manually added), were very well present somewhere in my phone. clearly, i have trouble locating them. furthermore, whenever i delete an album art image from my gallery, i can kiss the said album art goodbye from the album/music app too.
my questions are:
1) where are the album art images which are floating somewhere in my phone/memory card ie. how can i locate them?
2) is there a way whereby i can ensure that the album art covers would be automatically secured along the music i transfer, so i would not have to manually add album art covers to each and every album?
3) why does the fate of album art covers being automatically attached to the albums seem so random?
4) is there any one way to fix these issues?
for info's sake and if relevant, i use mass storage mode via usb.
all help would be greatly appreciated, and thank you in advance!

1. Its embedded within the mp3 file.
2. By embedding them into the file
3. When you use iTunes (if you did not customize some settings) or the built in music browser, these mp3 files are simply linked to their corresponding album art. Once the mp3 or the album art's location is changed, the link is broken. However for embedded files, they are "inside" the mp3 file, like the tags we put for album and artist, etc, so they are taken with them.
4. I use TagTuner to embed my mp3's with album art.

Solution for album art issues

I spent some time with the issue downloading album art. First, the application seems to be quite specific with artist/album text. I went through my library with the mini store turned on and compared the album titles to my albums with the titles in the store. I noticed that the albums that had issues downloading the art were spelled differently (additional apostrophe, and instead of N, etc...)
Once I fixed all the album titles, I was able to get the artwork for all of my albums. Next issue is that iTunes is not synching the added art work. It seems that adding art work through the application does not trigger a synch. I had to change the settings on my iPod to manually manage my library. Deleted all my songs off the iPod and change the settings back to automatic and iTunes synched everything back over with the added album art.
Hope this helps anyone having issues...

GreyCharleh I'm having the same problem. Did you ever get an answer?
I bought music on iTunes, created a Playlist - which SHOWED the album artwork in the playlist.
BUT when I burned a CD, the album artwork did not burn with the music.
Any help? Any suggestions? Or am I SOL?

ITunes jacked up album art after adding music to iPhone

After adding some new music to my phone last night, I noticed several files either lost the album art or it was wrong altogether. This has happened before and it took several frustrating hours of documenting which files were messed up and correcting the album art. But when I corrected the discrepancy, others that had the right artwork originally got messed up. So I had to constantly check and recheck to make sure the music had the right art.
The funny thing is, in iTunes the album art 'appears' correct under the iPhone device section. It's just wrong when you physically look at the phone. Do I need to go through the entire list of songs on the phone and delete every piece of album art and start all over again? Just so I don't have to go through 5 or 6 iterations before iTunes gets it right?
We're dealing with 1s and 0s here so what causes iTunes to mess this up?

I am having the same issue. I recently update my mac and then want to update my iphone. I notice my art album on my iphone is all mess up. I check my music on iTunes the art album are correct. What am I suppose to do to correct this problem. This problem just happen yesterday (10/30/2013). Please help because I don't want to go throughout my entire music when it's apple fault..please advise on what to do. Thanks

IPod Classic Album Art Issues

I see people have been having issues with album art but I think mine's different
I have the 160G iPod classic, the current iTunes for Windows & iPod software
My problem is that with the rectangular cover art I use, my iPod will not resize it to fit the thumbnail screen at the corner of my iPod (like it does for the square ones--like CD covers)
Is there a way to get iTunes/iPod to resize the cover art to fit the screen?
Size I don't think is an issue, since the square ones are not very small (500x500 or 600x600. etc.)
Any thoughts?

What you see is what you get. There are no hidden commands to get the iPod treat regular images as square. If it matters enough then you probably need to copy the images out to a picture editor like paint.net, change the aspect ratio and paste them back. At least that's what I do...

IPod has album art issues

I'm pretty sure this is a top problem amongst iPod users. I've been trying to find a solution, but so far no good.
My iPod has had some album artwork issues lately. This problem doesn't affect a majority of my songs, but it's a really annoying problem. Despite me adding correct covers for each song on iTunes, the artwork for certain songs don't appear like they do on iTunes. They get switched with other covers from other songs on my iPod, get switched with screenshots from my iPod videos, and sometimes don't appear at all. This is despite the fact that they appear perfectly fine on iTunes.
Case 1: Album covers get switched with other album covers. In one case, the album art used for a Jason Mraz song was the album art for an Owl City song that was also on my iPod.
Case 2: For some songs, screenshots from my iPod videos appear as album art. I've got a screenshot from a Futurama episode where my Rihanna album cover should be.
Case 3: For some songs, nothing appears at all except the standard musical note icon, despite me having added covers to these songs on iTunes.
Case 4: Likewise, for some of my videos, album art from my songs appear for icons, instead of a selected screenshot from the video, which is usually what appears. In fact, the album art that does appear is the art from songs where Case 3 applies.
This is a really irritating problem that I'd like to see get fixed. The most commonly cited solution to this problem, restoring the iPod, didn't permanently work for me. Please help!

Very Strange and nasty iTunes (not iPod) Album Art Problem

Hi,
I have the latest version of iTunes for Windows and I have never noticed this before on a previous version, but when I try to add album art to most (over 90%) of songs, the addition won't stay if I select another song.
Even worse, if I try to add art while the song is playing, not only will the addition dissappear, the song corrupts in the process. It's as if the jpeg file is inserted into the audio data itself, as the song will grow by a number of seconds (the growth consists of skips and repeats.)
I'm using iTunes with Windows Media Center. I have iTunes maintain my music folder, while Media Player / MCE monitors nothing. I also have a Media Center Extender setup (an Xbox360) that accesses my music as well (through the media player / MCE database.)
None of my music files are tagged as read-only. I have a suspicion that the cause of the problem may be along similar lines (file permissions, access, etc.) but nothing I've
tried works (including resetting all file permissions.)
In addition, none of the iTunes Art Importers work. In using the most popular one (iTunes Art Importer,) the program crashes to a .NET/CLR debugger when I try to import art. Looking at the stack trace, it appears as if the error concerns DLL access.
Any help on this issue would be greatly appreciated, as this is a pretty horrible bug (as it has ruined several songs.)
Thanks,

Use the SHIFT-Launch iTunes method to get iTunes waiting for a library. Stick the iPod in disk mode and connect to the computer. Browse *My Computer* and right-click on the drive for the iPod, click Properties, then click Tools. Under Error-checking, click *Check Now*. Under Check disk options, select *Scan for and attempt recovery of bad sectors* (Optional - takes ages but a good idea if you've reason to suspect physical damage). Click Start. Mac users should run *Disk Utility / Repair Disk* for the equivalent process. This should find and correct any errors in the logical & physical structures of your iPod's hard drive which may be causing the problem. When the process is complete disconnect the iPod and then reset it (hold Menu+Select ). Cancel the waiting iTunes dialog and then try to connect in the normal way.
If that still doesn't work you could try Erase your iPod - The Super Fix for most iPod Problems. Basically a low level format of the iPod’s hard drive to get around whatever problems are stopping iTunes from working with it.
Have you tried connecting the iPod to another computer to see if the issues is focused on the iPod or iTunes?

ITunes Music and Album Cover Issue

I purchased a 15" MBP a couple days ago and transferred data from my MBA. All data transferred, however, in iTunes, my album art has disappeared, and the music will not play. Has anyone experienced this issue, and if so, how did you resolve? Thanks much!

7.3.1 album art issue is fixed

I just converted lossless files to AIFF and back again. The album art stayed connected the whole way. This is fixed behavior from 7.3. Thank you Apple.

Actually it appears there's something still wrong. Those tracks that preserved album art through conversion to AIFF and back to lossless do NOT show the album art from a shared library. They always used to.
(They never do inside iTunes itself but always showed in You Control iTunes and Synergy and the like.)
