ITunes 11.0.4 artwork scrambled

OK, I've seen problems similar to this one, but not this exact one:
While using the computer and watching a TV show in iTunes, I look over to the iTunes window and - about half of the artwork for my TV shows is scrambled - I have a series of entries that all show the same artwork (and it's incorrect - different from what it was before the scramble). In addition to this, there are now several repeat entries, all with the same artwork. Let me try to desribe it better:
I have several TV shows (and I list them in alphabetical order) up to Doctor Who. The next entry is Doctor Who: The Classic Series (with scrambled artwork). After the DW Classic is The Simpsons (with the scrambled DW artwork). Then it repeats: DW, The Simpsons, DW, The Simpsons, etc. for 4 repetitions - all with incorrect DW artwork. Then the library correctly continues with Dragnet (which has the correct artwork) and correctly continues for a few more lines until it hits Lost in Space, then it is scrambled again showing incorrect artwork and Lost in Space followed by V (incorrectly) for several repetitions. It does this scrambling for several iterations throughout my TV shows list.
The scrambling has affected my Movies and Music as well, though not as severely.
Interestingly enough, if I click on ANY of the "scrambled" shows, they play what I expect them to play. If I click on The Simpsons (which is out of alphabetical order and has scrambled artwork) it plays The Simpsons. ALL of my entries labelled The Simpsons will play the proper shows.
Also, when I click "get info" to check the artwork, it is CORRECT. In the little "get info" window, it shows The Simpsons artwork that is appropriate to the season/episode - it just won't show it in the list.
What I have done: repaired permissions, deleted the "Album Artwork" folder and had iTunes create new artwork and have re-installed iTunes 11.0.4 - none of which have worked.
In one of my searches, I thought I found a remedy - something to do with deleting/fixing a corrupt file somewhere, but I cannot for the life of me find that suggestion again. Can anyone help?
TIA

A few of mine are aswell in Shows view in iTunes but they display correctly in List view. Very strange.
They also display correctly on ATV.

ITunes 10.6 issues, artwork, etc.

Issues I'm having with the past couple iTunes updates:
I can't cycle through artwork on songs that have more than 1 image embedded in metadata. I used to be able to click arrows to cycle through the images.
I can't click the scroll bar to change my position in a list. I can click and drag up or down, but I used to be able to click any spot on the scroll bar and it would take me to that part of the list.
When dragging art to desktop, the program leaves 2 copies of the image....huh?
iTunes erases downloaded artwork for an album when some album tracks are deleted instead of keeping art for all tracks.
If itunes is opened without an internet connection, it will not retrieve artwork once a connection is established. The program must be closed and reopened.
When I make an "On-The-Go" playlist with my iPod Classic, iTunes creates an extra, blank "On-The-Go" playslist upon syncing. ?
Sometimes iTunes assigns the wrong artwork for songs on my iPod Touch.
I'm wondering if anyone else is experiencing these issues, if they might be addressed in the next iTunes update, or if anyone has solutions to these problems.
Thank you!!

I'm starting to think these issues are related to my OS version. I'm guessing these sorts of bugs aren't important to fix if they only happen in Leopard.
No one has any comments?

Itunes 10.6.3 - Just update to the new Itunes and the album artwork is not sticking anymore... I upload the artwork and when I change songs and go back the art is gone. Anyone with similar issue ?

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!

I have blurry artwork in Album View thumbnails. Deleting the cache makes all the artwork sharp, but once iTunes is restarted, the artwork goes back to being fuzzy unless i delete cache again.

I have blurry artwork in Album View thumbnails, but not in Grid View/Cover Flow. Deleting the cache and forcing it to rebuild makes all the artwork sharp, but once iTunes is restarted, the artwork goes back to being fuzzy unless i delete cache again.

Responding to your request here.
I can't say it's a problem I've noticed personally, though now you've made me look it does seem that the large thumbnail is slightly fuzzier than the same image in the artwork panel. I have the artwork panel as small as it goes (small screen) and it is still slightly larger than the image in the browser so that might be all there is to it.
Here's an example from my screen.
Perhaps iTunes is storing a thumbnail at say "medium" size which it then blows up to create the large image. Are you seeing a similar effect or is your "fuzzy" art much fuzzier? A screenshot would be helpful.

ITUNES 7 BUG NO ARTWORK IN IPOD

NO ARTWORK TRANSFERED TO UPDATED 5TH GEN IPOD = I updated to iTunes 7 twice (first time it erased my purchased item authorization). For second install I successfully updated the iPod firmware. PROBLEM now is it will not transfer the song artwork.
TRIED THESE (and I repair computers by the way)-
Resetting iPod device...twice...no luck.
Unchecking the option to install artwork into iPod, letting it delete artwork...then rechecking it to reboot this feature...no luck.
DO NOT ASK ME TO RESTORE FIRMWARE, there is nothing wrong with the iTunes 7 updated firmware.
NOW I HAVE AN IPOD 30GB 5TH GEN PLAYER WITH NO ARTWORK TO DISPLAY. NO, APPLE PRODUCTS ARE NOT FLAWLESS AS THEY CLAIM IT TO BE.

Yup. It's a glitch for sure. But it doesn't have any ryme or reason. About 70% of all my album art will not display on my Ipod. But all the album artwork is there. When I plug my Ipod into Itunes and play songs, all the album art that I installed shows up in the picture box. But when i unplug the Ipod, no album art is displayed.
All music I have imported recently with album art shows up on my Ipod. But not all the album art that is already there.
So what I am doing is copying all my music from my Ipod onto my computer,
from there I am putting it onto Itunes,
allow Itunes to search for artwork that I did not do already (over 200 albums)
Then delete the music from my Ipod,
and finally reimport my Itunes Library back to my Ipod.
I have over 30 GB used so far (I have the 60 GB Ipod) so I do not keep all my music in my Itunes library. If I did, all I would have to do is re-sync the Ipod to my Itunes.

How do I stop iTunes changing my album artwork?

I do not want iTunes changing my album artwork. I spend a lot of time getting this right. iTunes 12.01 has started messing with this, substituting new artwork and removing what I put there. How do I stop this happening?

Hi Alan,
I have always kept this option unchecked. I've looked again just now and the option has remained unchecked. For some reason iTunes 'selected' 4 (that I've noticed) out of my 1775 albums and did its automatic update anyway. I guess this is a bug in the latest version, perhaps during the updating process.
I've changed the album art back to what I want and will keep an eye on them. I'll feed back to this thread if iTunes changes the art again.
Thanks for getting back to me,
Phil

ITunes cannot find album artworks

Hello, I imported some purchased Cd's I have at home to iTunes and the album artwork does not appear. I tried all the ways to make iTunes get the artwork as the iTunes help says and still, "artwork could not be found". Is there a way I can make iTunes to automatically download the album artwork??
thank you

Do you know I have the same problem.
I go to HMV with my daughter and spend time browsing music together. We come home and inport our music. It always finds the track and album names but cannot find the Artwork. This does not seem to apply to odd or old stuff, even chart CDs.
To add insult to injury if you type the album name into Itunes it is there, with the artwork.
Another reason why I HATE Itunes......

HT1473 I am having to recreate my itunes library and do not understand why prior album artwork appeared in my older library but not the new library? Is there some way to scan itunes for missing album artwork?

I am having to recreate my itunes library and do not understand why prior album artwork appeared in my older library but not the new library? Is there some way to scan itunes for missing album artwork?

do you have a strongly recommended default "managed" library (the iPhoto preference to "copy imported items to the iPhoto library is in its checked state) or a referenced library - you have unchecked that option?
It sounds like you have a referenced library and are now experiancing one of the very siginificant drawbacks of a referenced library and one of the many reasons they are strongly not recommended
Also note that iPhoto '11 may use alises in the originals folder as part of the upgrade
It is important that we understand exactly what you have and what is not sorking - what error messages you are getting
You must NEVER make any changes of any sort to the structure of content of the iPhoto library - there are no user servicable parts in it -- and you can not rebuild yoru librtary - only iPhoto ir iPhoto Library Manager - http://www.fatcatsoftware.com/iplm/ - can rebuild a library unless you are a SQL programmer and understand the structure that iPhoto uses

Itunes match downloading old artwork

why does itunes match download old artwork even when its been updated in itunes. has anyone got any solutions?

After much searching have found the answers buried in another forum (http://cybernetnews.com/cybernotes-add-album-art-in-itunes/).
iTunes Match does not presently reliably replicate Album Artwork across libraries - it does however make impressive if partial progress hence still worthwhile.
Method outlined is correct - it is best to use the Library All Songs Diplayed by Album Grid format - Get Info here presents a single Artwork location for all associated tracks.
Using a Smart List on each library to track apparently missing Artwork works well.
Saving the Artwork retrieved from Google at 300 by 300 72dpi to a shared folder works well.
Having completed an initial library - worth Get Album Artwork request, ahead of Update iTunes Match request.
In each target library repeat the Get Album Artwork and Update iTunes Match request.
Working from the Smart List for No Artwork, sort by Album, use shift-click to select all tracks for each Album, Get Info, paste in Album Artwork from shared folder.
Once complete - for each subsequent library complete a Get Album Artwork and iTunes Match request.
Confirm that both all entries in Library All Songs Grid View are complete and that the Smart List for No Artwork is empty.
Repeat for each library in question - it really is very fast.
Whilst it is frustrating the iTunes Match does not manage this automatically, once complete each Library is a pleasure to use allowing all Songs to be navigated via Album Artwork.
Good luck - the finished result really is worth the small amount of effort involved!

Help!! iTunes wont download album artwork

itunes will not upload artwork from the cd's (albums) that were already loaded in my pc (before I added itunes and my ipod). It certainly uploaded EVERYthing else. It says that I don't have directX downloded so, I downloaded it. When I try to get it to download missing artwork, it wont. Now I'm just ill about the whole thing. Please help. Thanks

just go to amazon, find the cds you want, drag the photo to the desktop of your pc and then hook it up to your itunes, tell which songs you want it with and you're done.

ITunes can never find artwork

I have not been able to get artwork for albums I've imported in the last week or two. I tell iTunes to get album artwork, and I just get an error saying that it could not be found. I have repeatedly checked, rechecked, renamed, and verified the artist and album names with the iTunes store, so, yes, the albums are listed in the store, and I know there aren't any discrepancies keeping iTunes from matching the info. Why is this not working? The albums today are Sick Puppies - Tri-Polar and MuteMath - Armistice as the most recent cases. I can even click the arrows next to the album name and iTunes will take me to that album in the store.
NO, I do not want you to tell me how to add artwork manually. I want high quality/high resolution artwork that you can only get from iTunes.
YES, I have checked for updates to iTunes. I have also logged out, logged in, authorized, deauthorized, restarted, updated Genius, and waved a rubber chicken.
NO, do not respond saying "check the names" or "it worked for me". Helpful responses only.

The artwork for several titles came up all wrong!! Now I put in a Wanda Jackson CD and the picture of some MAN came up!!! ***???
A Trisha Yearwood CD came up with a pic for "Trisha Haywood"!!! And the art for Swing Out Sister is also wrong!!! Bob Seger's "Face the Promise" won't come up at all!!! Will uou guys please fix this cuz it's driving me to drink!!!

Why wont my iTunes download the album artwork for the cd's that I import?

I'm a new Mac owner so I may be overlooking something simple. I have imported a few CD's succesfully but when i select "Preferences" and "Get Album Artwork" a message comes up that says "Could not get album artwork". I have looked in the itunes store to see if they have the album and its there... so why wont iTunes import the artwork to the albums i have imported? Thanks!

Where else can I get this?
On the World Wide Web!
iTunes will find the artwork if the album is available in the iTunes Store and your metadata precisely matches the Store data, in every respect (spaces, punctuation, spelling).
If iTunes does not get the art, simply use a web search to find the correct image.
To paste an image into a song file, highlight the file, use the command File > Get Info, open the Artwork tab, and drag the image into the space for art (or use Copy/Paste).

Mp3s in iTunes lose their album artwork

Here is a weird problem I have been noticing lately. Certain mp3s on my iPhone suddenly don't have their artwork anymore even though I know that I downloaded them in iTunes. When I go back and examine these mp3s in iTunes, I see the artwork in the big artwork window above the song listing. However, when i right-click those same mp3s in iTunes and click "get information" the artwork is GONE in the in summary and artwork tabs. Reimporting the artwork, either manually or via iTunes, fixes the problem, at least temporarily.
Question is, why does iTunes display the artwork when it is not in the mp3? And how do you get iTunes to HOLD ON to that artwork PERMANENTLY? I don't want to go back and keep redownloading over and over again. Has anyone else experienced this bug?
Just to clarify, these aren't mp3s for iTunes is unable to find artwork. Many of them you can dload the artwork through iTunes, some require manual importing. There does not seem to be any rhyme or reason as to which mp3s are affected.

No, itunes has issues with frame length using v2.4. A later release is usually considered better, but in this case, I'd stick with v2.3.

Itunes crashes while adding artwork and other information

Itunes crashes while adding artwork and other information to video and music files. Killing the process is the only cure and crashes after inputing information for 5-10 video files. I have the latest version of itunes, and this did not happen to pre 10.x versions of itunes. Running windows 7 ultimate 64 bit. 64-bit iTunes.

@tposchi
I do not think it has anything to do with router at all. I have 25mbps down and 6mbps up where I live. This is not shabby at all and I have latest TimeCapsule which is acts as my router at home. Yet the latest iTuns blows up playing streams. So I use this player instead: http://www.videolan.org/vlc/index.html. Not as pretty, but at least I can play radio stream 24 hours a day with it and have no problems. iTunes 10.7 does not last one hour I too wish Apple fix it.

I have synced my iPhone 5s via iTunes however, my album artwork is not appearing on my phone. Please help

Hi
Typically these are added toy our iPhone by synching with iTunes and that is the only way to "unsych" them.
In your Itunes tab for photos you can uncheck the albums you do not wanted synced to your iPhone. Then resynch your computer and your iPhone and they will not be added to your iPhone.
Cheers
