ITunes 10.7.0.21 no longer 'gets album artwork'

It used to be the case until very recently, that you could always get the album artwork for tracks either imported from CD, or bought from other stores by choosing 'Get album artwork' from the right click menu, and sometimes you had to modify the name of the artist or album in order for it to match the iTunes one, but it doesn't work at all anymore. It always comes back with 'Artwork for xxxx could not be found'.
Has anyone else come accross this, and might know why, and how to fix it?
Many thanks in advance.

I bet if you buy the songs from the iTunes store it will work.

  • Can't get the ministore to work and can no longer get album artwork!!

    The ministore is blank at the bottom of my screen and when I try to get album artwork for my music it doesn't do anything. It's been doing this for a long time and I cant find a solution on this website. Someone please help?

    Try sliding the words instead of tapping them.

  • Can no longer get album artwork

    Just got a new iPhone and wanted album artwork for all the songs I have loaded. Last night I found that some of the older songs I had loaded in my library had no album listed, so I would just find the correct album name, add it into the "Get Info" section - then I could right-click on it and the iTunes store would download the correct album artwork for me.
    There were a few songs that iTunes didn't have, so I went out on the Internet, found the appropriate images and loaded them with those songs.
    However, now, for whatever reason - even when iTunes finds the song, artist, album - when I right click and try to download the art, it is unable to do so. I've even been copying the information directly from iTunes to make sure that the song name, artist name & album name are correct. I just keep receiving "Unknown Error" - is this a temporary thing, or did something mess up by importing my own images?

  • How to get album artwork

    Hi. How can I download album artwork in iTunes? I can't create a store account as I don't have a credit card. Stupid that I can't create an account without a credit card.
    Does someone have a dead itunes account that I can use to get album artwork?

    You don't have to have a credit card, you can buy a iTUnes music card from places like wal mart or use a free itunes code from some promotion off a candy bar, soda bottle, cereal ect ect

  • Having trouble getting album artwork for CDs that ARE in Music Store

    I've got about 300 of my own CDs (not purchased through ITMS) on my computer and iTunes 7 only downloaded about 20 covers automatically. I have gone through and made sure all of my albums and artists are spelled correctly as well as putting all of the years of the releases.
    I can not get any of the album artwork to download.
    Also, the iTunes mini store doesn't open. When I click show mini-store, only a bold line on the bottom of the screen comes up, but the mini store does not open all the way.

    When iTunes 7 was first released the iTunes store got swamped by people updating their artwork (like yourself), this meant it would often only manage to do a few albums at a time. In this situation telling it to try again (and again) was the solution.
    However by now the number of users hitting the store should be lower and this less of a problem.
    Another problem that affects me and others, is that the "Get Album Artwork" command only seems to search the US iTunes store (even if your account is logged in to a different country), this means that at best you might get the wrong artwork, and sometimes no artwork at all. Of course you are apparently in Florida and therefore would want to use the US store and so not be affected by this problem.
    I see you have the misfortune to be using Windows XP, and even worse a Dull Inspiron! You might want to check to see if your firewall [you are using a firewall aren't you?] is interfering with iTunes contacting the iTunes store.
    Rather than using the "Get Album Artwork" command in the "Advanced" menu, try instead selecting a single album, and right clicking and then selecting "Get Album Artwork" from the pop-up menu.
    It might help if you give an example of a problematic album/artist/track name. Also can you confirm the format the track is in? WAV does not support embedded artwork for example.

  • 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.

  • How can I get album artwork without using iTunes on the computer?

    I used touchcopy to copy the songs off my ipod touch onto my new computer, so i could then load them onto my ipod nano. I have got the songs on the nano, and theyre still on my touch, but there is no album artwork on either. For my nano, i can use iTunes, but the computer my touch is synced to is, well, dead. So, is there a way to get the album artwork back on my touch?
    Also, on my nano, it doesnt have any of the artists or album (name) for the songs
    Thanks

    Hi Wickster,
    I have found the following resource that may provide more help:

    Additionally, you can instruct iTunes to search and download artwork from the iTunes Store. To do so, click File > Library > Get Album Artwork

  • When I "Get Album Artwork", iTunes always returns a result that artwork for one song could not be found; but the song is not in my library.

    When I "Get Album Artwork" in  iTunes 10.4.0.80 running under Windows 7, iTunes can find the missing artwork requested.  But it also returns the same result, "Artwork for "Aught 7 - Mother Chorizo" could not be found.  The problem is I do not have the song or any song from Aught 7 in my music library.  I'm guessing this is an issue with a corrupted iTunes database.  Can someone tell me how to correct this issue?
    Thanks in advance.

    1. delete this songs from your liblary
    2. go File -> Add File to Liblary... (Ctrl+O) or File -> Add Folder to Liblary

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • Get album artwork grayed out How can I cut and paste in iTunes?

    I've got many cd's that I've ripped to Itunes. When I try to click "add album artwork" I get an error message (609) from itunes that it can't be found.  So when I try to manually add it it is grayed out.
