ITunes 11.1 not downloading artwork for albums only on icloud

Since updating to 11.1 some more of my artwork seems to be missing. The get album artwork is only getting artwork for downloaded music. If I right click on an album without artwork which is not downloaded and click get album artwork nothing happens. This works fine once at least 1 song of the album has been downloaded. I'm on a mac with mountain lion if that's any help. Any ideas?

Okay, found it. In iTunes 11.1, in the left column, under Libraries: click on Podcasts
Find "settings" at the bottom of the frame. The Automatically Download needs to be set to "Most Recent." If it's set to "off" then the podcast will be available in the cloud to pull down individually.

Downloading artwork - "could not get artwork for some albums"

This might have been addressed before, but I browsed the forum and couldn't find a thread. Sorry if it's been gone over several times.
I live in Turkey and I've added albums to my iTunes. I checked the box in the Get Info next to Artwork and I selected Get Album Artwork from the Advanced tab. It scans through all the albums and then says "could not get artwork for some albums." "Some" albums means all of them actually. And the error tab details say "artwork not available." I also tried getting artwork by right clicking on a single album but I get the same error. Before it was a 609 error. Now it just says not available.
I logged out of the store, quit iTunes, loaded it again, re-signed in to the store and tried to get artwork that way, but got the same result. No artwork. The albums are things like Let It Be, Allman Brothers, Ella Fitzgerald... Albums that should certainly have artwork available.
I'm using Windows Vista.
Has anyone had and conquered this problem? Any ideas on what I should do? I have 300+ albums, so getting the cover art from wikipedia would be a bit tedious. I'd appreciate any help anyone can give!

Hello, Welcome to Apple Discussions.
Are your songs from Audio CDs or iTunes Store? If not you may need to manually find the album artwork for them as these songs may not be listed in the iTunes Store database for your region.
iTunes: Album art may not download properly
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1815
iTunes will only download album artwork for songs that it can find in the iTunes Store. iTunes will check each song in your iTunes library and attempt to match it up with a song in the iTunes Store. If the data matches, iTunes will download the album artwork from the iTunes Store and add it to the song in your iTunes library. If iTunes does not find a particular song's artwork in the iTunes Store, you will not see an alert message. iTunes simply does not download artwork for that song.

ITunes Get Artwork: "Artwork for [album name] cannot be found. You do not have permission to access the requested resource."

I just installed iTunes 10.5 (latest version as of 11 Jan 2012), onto a computer running Windows 7 Ultimate x64. I loaded my music library into it, it compiled the list and separated them by album. But even though I'd assigned most of the albums artwork through my Zune management software (a Microsoft product), almost none of them populated into iTunes. So I went through and started asking the software to try to find album artwork where possible.
I did this a few times album by album, then I decided to select multiple albums and see what happened. No problems. Then I selected all of the albums I had--about 600 in all--and asked it to get artwork. It seemed to process for a bit, then came back with the error, "Artwork for [album name] could not be located. You do not have permission to access the requested resource." I tried this on several individual albums, only to receive that same error.
The very first time I did it, I was told I needed an account with the iTunes store to make it work, so I signed in using an old Apple ID (the account had been inactive for so long it had been locked for security, I unlocked it and that seemed to be that). Then I did what I described above.
The weird thing--to me--is that I can still add artwork to the albums manually if I want to, from imagery stored locally on my own computer. The only thing it seems to have a problem with is when I ask it to go find artwork from the iTunes store.
Do I need to uninstall iTunes and then reinstall it? Did something go wrong with the process of authorizing the computer to work with the iTunes store? Do I need to de-authorize and then re-authorize the computer? Could this be something related to Windows permissions on the iTunes library?

Right on about how to reset the warnings, it was exactly that.
I went through the steps to let iTunes through Windows Firewall, but still get the same problem when I access the iTunes store (and even though I followed the steps in the help file to the letter, I notice it still says iTunes is NOT enabled for it). And now, thanks to the re-enabled warnings, when I try to get it to download artwork for single albums, this is what I get:
"Artwork for [album name] could not be found. An unknown error occurred (-50)."

Agreed. I hope they allow this some time soon or iTunes Match will remain a big disappointment for me.

Any idea where artwork for albums is stored, please?

Hi,
Does anyone know where the latest version of iTunes stores artwork for albums.
I am running it under 64bit Windows 7.
I know I a bit thick today but that's because I have been working all night. I just can't see where the artwork is being stored.

The Album Artwork folder should be inside your iTunes library folder. It breaks down into Cache (cache of embedded images), iCloud Purchases (images for purchases not on your computer) and Download (store art that hasn't been embedded). The next level identifies the library (you can store multiple parallel .itl files in the iTunes folder, but I wouldn't). Below that is a hash table structure of nested folders. The art itself is stored in iTunes' custom .itc2 files.
What is the problem you are trying to resolve?

2nd Gen Ipod will sync with itunes but will not download new song

My Ipod will sync with itunes but will not download newly purchased songs. It is Ipod nano 2nd gen.

If you want to use automatic syncing, you may need to set up or update the iPod's Music sync settings in iTunes. If the new songs are not included in what gets synced to the iPod, they will not sync.
If the sidebar (along left side of window) is hidden, from the menu bar, under View, select Show Sidebar. The iPod appears in the sidebar, under DEVICES. Select it there, to show its Summary screen to the right. Toward the top, there is a bar of buttons, starting with Summary. Click on Music next to Summary. This Music screen is where you tell iTunes how to sync songs to the iPod.
Check the box for Sync Music, if not already checked. This is the "switch" to enable automatic syncing for songs.
NOTE: If Sync Music is not already checked, that means the iPod is currently set to Manually manage music. Setting up automatic syncing will replace the iPod existing content. If you want to add the new songs manually to the iPod (instead of using automatic syncing), please post back.
If your iTunes library fits on the iPod, you can choose the option to sync Entire music library. Otherwise, choose the option to sync Selected playlists, artists, albums, and genres. Below that, select (checkmark) what you want to sync to the iPod from the lists.
One convenient way to set this up is to first create one or more playlists in your iTunes library, with ALL of the songs you want on the iPod. Or you can use existing playlists. Back on the iPod's Music screen in iTunes, select those playlists under Playlists.
When you click Apply, iTunes syncs the songs in your selection(s) to the iPod (replacing its existing content). Going forward, to update the iPod, you can just update those playlists in your iTunes library (add/remove songs). If you have new songs, add them to a playlist that is synced to the iPod. The iPod does not need to be connected. The next time you connect the iPod (or click Sync if already connected), iTunes automatically updates your iPod with the same changes.

ITunes LP did not download off of pre-order

I downloaded Timberlake's "20/20 Experience (Deluxe)" today..although I got the songs, the iTunes LP did not download - WHY?

Having the same problem except mine isn't showing up in purchase history. I got an email notifying me that the download was released and iTunes successfully downloaded the album itself but not the iTunes LP digital booklet/experience files. I actually only ordered from iTunes for this, already have the physical CD, I hope this gets resolved quickly.

HT1688 iTunes Match is not downloading properly to my iPhone.

iTunes Match is not downloading properly to my iPhone. I removed some songs from the cloud and it has not sent some songs to my iPhone and a lot of my artwork is not coming down. I have tried to turn it on and off in iTunes, updated to Match and restarted the computer and phone. Nothing works. I just began using Match. What am I doing wrong? How do I fix this?

HT1725 my recent itunes songs did not download completely. How do I redownload them?

my recent itunes songs did not download completely. How do I redownload them?

If your country's iTunes Store allows you to redownload purchased tracks, I'd delete your current copies of the dodgy tracks and try redownloading fresh copies. For instructions, see the following document:
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
Otherwise, I'd report the problem to the iTunes Store.
Log in to the Store. Click on "Account" in your Quick Links. When you're in your Account information screen, go down to Purchase History and click "See all".
Find the items that are not playing properly. If you can't see "Report a Problem" next to the items, click the "Report a problem" button. Now click the "Report a Problem" links next to the items.

TS1368 My Itunes match is not working right, it was only able to download 50% of my songs and now I can't play the balance songs.. it's so stupid

My Itunes match is not working right, it was only able to download 50% of my songs and now I can't play the balance songs.. it has messed up my enitre music library

Hello Carpathianna,
No judgment here on the music you listen to, I have that song too in my library. If iTunes is telling you that the song is missing and you purchased it from the iTunes Store, then just delete it from your iTunes library and then download your song again. Check out the articles below for more information.

My full iTunes purchase did not download; what are my options?

my full iTunes purchase did not download; what are my options?

Assuming you are in a region where you are allowed to redownload your past music purchases, delete the broken tracks from your iTunes library, go to the iTunes Store home page, click the Purchased link from the Quick Links section in the right-hand column, then select Music and Not on this computer. You should find download links for your tracks there.
If you don't see them straight away it may help to restart iTunes. While downloading selectDownloads in the left-hand column and make sure Allow Simultaneous Downloadsisunticked.
If the problem persists, or that facility is not yet available in your region, contact the iTunes Store support staff through the report a problem links in your account history, or via Contact Support.

ITunes LP Bionic not working properly for iTunes

Christina Aguilera's new iTunes LP Bionic does not work properly on iTunes 9.1.1 on my MacBook Pro 13" running Snow Leopard on 64-bit mode.
It does work properly on iTunes on Windows 7 64-bit.
This is how it does not work properly: It does not automatically refresh the display content when I have clicked on a menu item. It only refreshes the display when I move the scroll bars along the display borders, thus invalidating certain region of the display content making the LP to redraw the display. As a result clicking on the menu items, such as Photos, Song List, Credits, and Discography, etc., do not have immediate effect. Needless to say it does not work at all in full screen mode as there is nothing that can be done to invalidate the display and get the LP to redraw.
Again it works properly on iTunes on Windows 7 64-bit so I would say it's an iTunes on Mac issue.

I actually am on a Dell running Windows 7 and am having issues downloading the iTunes LP from the store. It's in my downloads saved, but I'm getting a message saying: "Christina Aguilera Bionic (Deluxe Edition) iTunes LP was not downloaded. You do not have enough access privileges for this operation." Any ideas? It seems as though I'm having the opposite problem as most of you.

TS4062 i cannot sync my phone with itunes because my software is 10.5.8 so new itunes version will not download. How else can i sync iphone to my mac?

i cannot sync my iphone with itunes because my software is too old- 10.5.8. The new itunes version will not download. How else can i sync my iphone to my mac?

You need to buy and install a Mac OS X 10.6 DVD; once it's installed, run the Software Update pane of System Preferences twice.
There is no other way to sync it, but content can be downloaded directly from the iTunes Store servers; for non-purchased music, this requires signing up for iTunes Match, which costs more than the DVD.
