Can I merge or combine 2 "album artwork" folders? I have saved music onto an external server from 2 computers but the artwork that I have manually imported remains in the default folder in the music/itunes/album artwork folder on the respective PCs. Thx

Can I merge or combine 2 "album artwork" folders? I have saved music onto an external server from 2 computers but the artwork that I have manually imported remains in the default folder in the music/itunes/"album artwork" folder on their respective PCs.
i.e. artwork uploaded on one PC won't apppear on the other PC because it is saved locally...
I'm confident that i won't beable to just merge the 2 because thy'll have the same folder names.
On the same note: can I have iTunes create these files on the external server/Hard drive also so that either computer can use them at the same time?
(like I have my library- can the other files be saved remotely)
Thx

i'm using iTunes 10 BTW

Can't download iTunes album artwork

I'd say that by now I buy the huge majority of my new music from the iTunes store, but still when Target runs their weekly special on new music that meets or beats the iTunes price on something I want, I buy the CD. Most of the time, the album artwork downloads just fine -- as most of it downloaded just fine when they first made this feature available, for my back catalog of CDs that I've ripped to iTunes.
But this week with Bright Eyes, Cassadaga, using the download album artwork feature in iTunes yields nothing, just the generic album cover. The artist and album title fields are the same as the iTunes version, and all the song titles seem to match.
I changed the genre from Alternative & Punk off CDDB from the ripped CD to Alternative like the iTunes Store has it, but no luck.
Any ideas? Any tags I can change to make it match the iTunes Store and thus download the artwork for this album?

You might just have to add it manually. Here's how:

How Can I sync iTunes album artwork with album folders on my Mac

Small Issue,
I just got a new macbook pro and uploaded copied the iTunes music folder from my PC, to an external hard drive then to the "music" folder in the Finder on my Mac. I then went into iTunes and added my library via the "add music" link (or something like that)
All the music upload and most of the album artwork was missing. I clicked "Get Album Artwork" and it replaced most of the album artwork
Here is the issue I need help with...
Some of the albums, which have album artwork inside iTunes, do not have album artwork if I go to the album folder in the finder. Is there anyway to get this artwork to sync up with the folder?
I ask because, I am kinda anal and like the artwork to show up if I play a song from the spotlight (I like playing music that way)
Am I going to have to manually add the album artwork into the finder folders?

Hi bill,
Here's an Apple Support article that tells you how to restore your IOS device from a previous backup on iTunes:

Itunes album artwork problem on 11.4.0.18

Recently after the update to iTunes 11.4.0.18 I've noticed my album artwork not displaying correctly for some albums. They appear jumbled, but only the album thumbnail. I'm running Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit, with an AMD processor & 8GB of RAM.
If you right click on a song in an album that appears to have a jumbled thumbnail, and click on Get Info, the album artwork appears perfectly fine in the summary tab as well as the artwork tab. I've tried deleting the artwork then choosing get artwork for that particular album. In most cases this has worked, with a few giving a message that artwork could not be found. I've tried copying the artwork from the Get Info>Artwork tab, deleting it, then pasting it again and this also seems to take care of the problem when viewing the album thumbnail. It's just crazy having to do this for each and every album that is displaying a jumbled artwork thumbnail.
Anyone come across this in v11.4.0.18? Is there an easier way to fix this thumbnail problem than going through each and every album that seems messed up?

I can't see your image, but what may work is to delete the folder Album Artwork and then scroll through the entire library in Albums view.

ITunes album artwork screen saver possible with external library?

I just moved my iTunes library to an external drive to free up space on my MacBook, and I was wondering if there's a way to still use the album artwork screen saver when the external drive is not connected? I still have my artwork folder on my internal drive but when it is not connected, it says, "Your iTunes Library does not contain any songs with artwork." Is there a place where the screen saver info is saved? or does it only work with the library itself?

hi,
it will only work when your library could be available.
beside, if I may suggest, it is more reliable to place your library files on your external drive along with your songs than keeping the library files on the internal drive. that way, you will avoid the issue to mistakenly open your library while your external drive isn't mounted.

ITunes Album Artwork Problem. Help?

I recently installed iTunes onto my new laptop, and the album artwork for all my songs comes out slightly discolored, in that it is a hue of pink. What's even stranger is that the album artwork seen on the bottom left corner shows the artwork in it's right colors. I've tried to calibrate the colors on my screen in my settings, but nothing seems to be working. Oh, and my new laptop is running on Windows 8. Help?
P.S. Don't mind my choice of music, I was helping my little sister put music on her iPhone :3

Here's the Apple article on that
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1815
The important line is "If the data matches, iTunes will download the album artwork".
What it doesn't say is, "if the Apple database is wrong, you'll get the wrong artwork".
Try getting the correct cover for +Led Zeppelin I+ - impossible. They had Mothership listed under Lead Zeppelin for a while.
I agree with the other comment; just get those 40 covers from somewhere else, rather than find out how it is listed in the Apple database.

ITunes album artwork not showing

I operate a college internet-only radio station. The system we use is based on iTunes.
Each week, music distributors send me links to download new music. On average, I load about 20 albums per week into the system. The files are usually .zip files, and contain a .jpg for album artwork, a .pdf with band info, and a folder containing the .mp3 files for the songs. I unarchive the .zip file, then click-and-drag the resulting folder into iTunes.
About 1/3 of the time, everything works as expected. The music is copied into the iTunes library and the artwork appears as well. The majority of the time, though, the artwork does not appear in iTunes.
I've scrutinized these files, and am unable to spot any difference between the ones that work and the ones that don't. The heirarchy of the unarchived files and folders is the same, the images are roughly the same size.
I know how to go back in and add the artwork, but doing so for 15 albums each week is extra work I'd rather avoid. Any ideas why it works so inconsistently, and how to rectify that?
mahalo!

I'm not so sure, but I don't think you can turn off artwork unless you erase the image files from the files in the Get Info feature you get in the list you get when right-clicking on the music files, what can be done tho is to hide the features that show the artwork like the button to the right of the repeat button and the cover flow button next to the search bar.
I have the same problem but only with certain artwork, not all, I added images to all my files before and hardly ever did I get this problem, I usually added the same image or another image to make the cover flow "react", so to speak; the funny thing with my problem is that the files in question still have the artwork I put before in the Get info thingy, they appear whenever I see the info tab of then files, and when they're playing, the image shows at the bottom of the playlists list(above the repeat button and that), but the artwork doesn't show in the cover flow (-- =S ???--), no notifications show up about what's happening, and the image file I added is just a regular .JPEG of an album.
Now does this mean the iTunes is having some sort of behavior issues or it just fancies playing with me? =S

My iTunes album artwork is messed up big time!

Suddenly, almost all of the album artwork for my albums in iTunes library on my iMac is incorrect! The wrong album artwork is displayed for almost all albums in my iTunes library. I'm using iTunes Match, which may have caused the problem, because I never had a problem like this prior to iTunes Match. I've tried disabling then re-enabling iTunes Match, and the album art is still foobar.
Oddly, I have a MacBook Pro which on which I'm using iTunes Match, and all of the (same) albums artwork appear correct.

I had this problem. I found if you turn iTunes Match off on your iPod/iPad/iPhones then sync the device to itunes. Uncheck Sync Music then click sync. This will remove all your music (i guess you knew that ), now go back to your iOS device and turn iTunes Match back on. After about 5 mins or so (well it was in my case) all your songs and art work will be as it should...
The only downside to this is you will have to download form the cloud all the songs you want to take with you
I can only guess that Apple thought we would stream most of our music and not keep it on our devices?
I just wish Apple would be more clearer on the workings of Itunes Match, its a very good service but not having clear instuctions leaves many to write it off as a bad idea.... as I almost did.
Still I hope this helps.

ITunes Album Artwork is Tinted Green

This isn't a huge problem but I'm wondering if anyone knows how to fix this. Many of my album covers in iTunes (including songs purchased through iTunes and through my iPhone) are tinted green but only when viewing in the "Albums" view: if I pull up individual song info, the artwork is no longer tinted. I suspect that they may have just been processed or displayed with an incorrect colour profile. Album artwork appears fine on my iPhone which is synced to this same computer. Is there some solution to this or perhaps a way to delete and redownload all album artwork?

Ok that's weird. This was an old message that I had tried to post a long time ago but was getting the "You cannot create or update this content" message so gave up on it. I had come back to post a different question, was having the same problem, and then read another post about how you just need to select a community and fill in the rest of the boxes at the bottom to be able to post, so I did that and it posted this old message instead of the new one!
And now I can't delete this post. Great. Way to go Apple.

ITunes Album Artwork Screensaver Only Showing 3 Album Covers

I'm trying to use the album artwork screensaver but when it comes on it only shows three repeating album covers, all of which from CDs I downloaded myself and not from the iTunes store. How do I get all my album artwork to show?
I tried FILE > LIBRARY > GET ALBUM ARTWORK and holding down option while clicking the itunes icon and selecting my iTunes library.
13.3 in Mac Book Pro, 2013
Mac OS X Mountain Lion

Hi,
so this work's for me. Just recreate all the iTunes stuff. I did it like this:
- Go to - Music / iTunes / iTunes Media and backup the Music and Mobile App folders
- Delete everyting in the folder iTunes
Then just open the iTunes and add all the music from the Music folder to the library back again. This will recreate all the library files and folders in the iTunes folder.
Then try the screen saver.
Hope it helps.

Why are my emojis and iTunes album artwork green

All the emojis and album artwork on my mac are green, I don't know how to change it back i don't even know what i did. It's really irritating me.

I tried posting my own version of this question but was restricted from doing so, thus I am bumping this similar problem.
Many of my album covers in iTunes (songs purchased both through iTunes on Windows 8.1 and through my iPhone) are tinted green but only when viewing in the "Albums" view: if I pull up individual song info, the artwork is no longer tinted. I suspect that they may have just been processed or displayed with an incorrect colour profile. Album artwork appears fine on my iPhone which is synced to this same computer. Is there some solution to this or perhaps a way to delete and redownload all album artwork? I removed all of my colour profiles on this computer, one of which I know had errors since Adobe Photoshop would always ask me whether to ignore the colour profile, and that did not solve the problem.

Itunes album artwork not displayed

I have just started using itunes and purchased my fist album which is a compilation. The album artwork is not displayed, I have searched the forum and checked that the get artwork is visible in the get info option, which it is and all the album details are correct.
Any advice?
Thanks in advance.

Not sure if I have the same problem or not. My album art work shows up fine on the i-pod and in the small "now playing" window on the lower left of my pc but the main view window shows that "Itunes is unabke to browse album covers on this computer". I was always able to view this for as long as I have had the i-pod in the past before but now cant. On my PC (I tunes)the "Cover flow view" is selected and no matter what preference is selected the same message comes up and can not see album art work anymore on main window above song list.

Finding iTunes Album Artwork

I am running Mac Os 1.5.4 and iTunes 7.6.9. I just got a screen saver and would like to use my album artwork as the folder for it to take pictures from. Unfortunately, all of my Artwork is embedded in the file and is not from iTunes. So I was wondering if there was a way to extract all of the Artwork and put it into a folder while keeping the Art in the files embedded. Thanks!

Are you trying to say you want to use your album artwork as your screensaver? This is very easy to do & you don't have to do anything in the way of extracting artwork, etc. On your Mac, open system preferences>desktop/screensaver, click on the screensaver tab at the top. Once there, in the left hand pane, click on the drop down arrow next to Apple, & choose album artwork from that list. I have my album artwork setup as my screensaver using these settings & it works beautifully, didn't have to do anything with the stored files.
