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 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.

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

ITunes 8: still the same album artwork problem

hi! it seems that this is still an open question. the problem is that after installing iTunes 7.7.1 some of my (manually added) album artworks dissapeared and cannot fix this because no matter how hard i try i cannot recover the artworks (the same way i did it initially). nothing happens after i try to copy the picture in the field reading 'Drag Album Artwork Here'. and iTunes 8 that i have downloaded and installed just a while ago cannot fix the problem either. any ideas what is going on?
thanks anyone who would read this and tries to help.

Okay, I think I've figured a way around this. At least it works for me. It's a bit convoluted, but it works and it's fairly simple. Here goes...
Select the aiff or aif files in itunes that you want to add album art to, right click and choose "create AIFF Version." This will create a new AIF file in the iTunes folder in your Music folder. Once that is done, this new AIF file will accept album art in iTunes. Just delete the old aiff/aif files and replace with the new aif file created by iTunes. I know it's a little more extra work than should be necessary, but it's a temporary fix until Apple hopefully fixes it without having to do these extra steps. Hope this helps!
Let me know if this works for anyone else.

Album Artwork problems on iTunes

Please, I need some help here. Here's what I'm trying to to if possible.
I have many music videos that belong to a certain album (ex. Loose/Nelly Furtado - Say It Right, Promiscous, Maneater) so I would like to assign a general ALBUM ART for all the videos belonging to this album but I would also like to assign different ALBUM ART for each song. Is that possible on iTunes?
I have had problems with iTunes 7.4.2 as well. I cannot delete ARTWORK so it becomes clear. I hit "GET INFO" and under "ALBUM ARTWORK" I manually delete it then the Coverflow goes blank for a second and the same artwork is back there. I tried to delete whatever is under the iTunes folder but the same thing happens. Any ideas or just a buggy iTunes version.
Another thing... Coverflow for videos??? Mine doesn't show anything and it doesn't work horizontally.
Any ideas and comments would be greatly appreciated.

I tried the unsuncing and re-yncing trick - did not work for me either.   The album artwork would change, but most of the titles were still wrong.     What I finally had to do was unsync artwork, overwrite old backup with a new one (with app organization, contacts etc, saved, but nothing else)
Then restore to the factory settings by clicking restore in itunes -
After iOS reinstalls from scratch, restore to the backup of your apps and contacts you did before the OS restore.
Then try syncing just your playlists to validate, this worked for me.   After that I uploaded the rest of my albums and everything is cool now.
As for why this happens in the first place, it's likely a corrupting of the music or artwork database of sorts.   Before doing any of the restoration, look in your music directory and clean up any titles of artists with unicode characters, or underscores before the names.
I had one album with Japanese characters, and a few others that Itunes prefaces with underscores to avoid duplicate album or artist names.    I suspect somethign like that may play a role in the problem.

Album artwork problem--can anyone help?

I have a wierd thing happening with my album artwork. All of the artwork is correct in ITunes, and the artwork appears correct when I hold my Itouch lengthwise. However, when I hold my Itouch vertically (i.e. with the button at the bottom) the album art is messed up. For example, I have an U2 album that only displays the art correctly when I hold it side-to-side. Vertically, the album art is blank when I display the album, and when I play the songs I get a cut screen, top half of which is an old Christmas album I've deleted and the bottom of which is art for a television series that I purchased. What's the deal? Is there any way for me to get my album art displaying correctly?

I think I have found a solution. Although it is not 100% guarantee it will work, at least it helps keep my artwork stable.
For PC (I don't have a Mac), right click on the song(s) that causes you problem, convert ID3 tag to version 1.0 (back to basic, eh).
Then edit the tag (if necessary, and add artwork. If it is not fixed, repeat the process one more time.
The key is converting the ID3 tag to the most basic version.

ITunes Album Artwork Help?

Hello fellow Mac users I have a question for you. But first let me tell you my story of why I am asking this question. I have a Black MacBook Upgraded to fastest RAM for the Best Memory, and of course I use iTunes, So I have purchased a few albums off of iTunes and I have uploaded a few also. So the albums I got from iTunes I have the artwork. But on the Albums that I purchased the CD I do not have the artwork except for one that is Aerosmith's Devils Got A New Disguise. But I have no idea why I have that Albums artwork? I did not buy it on iTunes? So the Albums that I do not have the artwork for are Thin Lizzy and Hannah Montana/Miley Cyrus 2 Album, I have tried clicking "Get Album Artwork" but I just get a message saying that Artwork was unfindable. So can any Mac "Pros" help me?
I was wondering if there is a way that I could find I picture of the Album covers an just Drag and Drop them where they need to go?

Never mind you can drag and drop. Sorry everyone

ITunes Missing Album Artwork Problem

For all the albums that dont have album artwork, the artwork display is messed up, its blue-ish and has distorted parts of other albums in my library, instead of the normal gray, is there any way to fix this?

I have this same problem. I think it is a rendering issue because the problem disappears when I open fullscreen view for album artwork or use the visualizer.

Importing from iPod to iTunes and artwork problems

I have lots of albums on my iPod with artwork that display in iTunes, but it doesn't display on the iPod. Is there a minimum resolution for being able to display artwork on the iPod? I like to have the artwork in the MP3 file itself at a low resolution to take up about 20K in each file. Does anyone know what could be causing the problem?
Further, it's irritating that I can't get the ratings I set on the iPod back to iTunes when I do a sync. I'm guessing that the shuffler uses ratings when picking, and I would like to have my ratings survive a sync. I also use ratings to mark songs that I don't really like, so I can move or delete the songs. Is there some setting in iTunes or some program/service that needs to run in order to get a sync to work essentially both ways? (Are these two problems related?)
I appreciate any help that can be offered.

Not sure about your ratings issue. You are syncing rather than manually managing your music I take it. You might find that a reset helps. In principle the iPod should record play counts, played time & ratings which will then update iTunes when you sync. As for the artwork issues....
*Why is artwork not showing on my iPod when it's there in iTunes?*
iTunes will display a cover in many of it's views provided at least one track from the album has embedded artwork. The iPod appears to load only the artwork from track one to create the cover flow and album views which means that it can sometimes fail to display art for albums even when you can see the art in iTunes. Further, when tracks are played on the iPod, artwork is displayed if and only if it exisits in the currently playing track, so track one may show art while track two does not.
*How to find tracks without artwork*
To find all the tracks without artwork so that you can update them you can try http://www.stum.de/itunes-find-tracks-without-artwork/ for Windows or http://dougscripts.com/itunes/scripts/scripts13.php for Macs. Use Google, Amazon, Discogs etc. to locate relevant jpeg images. Ideally these should be square, 320x320 pixels or above and borderless to give the best results in the various menus. If you have artwork for some tracks of an album, but not others, select a track with artwork, right-click (Option-Click for Macs) on the art & click copy, then select all the tracks of the abum, use CTRL-I or Option-I to *Get Info* and then paste the image into the artwork box.
I say 320x320 because I believe (from using TouchCopy) that it's the size used in the iPod cache so if you're going to crop or resize you might as well work to that size. Otherwise 200x200 is probably good enough.
*Rebuild artwork cache*
Sometimes the artwork cache becomes corrupt and fails to show correct artwork, even when this is properly set up in iTunes. To rebuild the artwork cache, connect your iPod to iTunes. Locate the iPod in the Sources pane on the left-hand side, then select the Music tab. Remove the tick from *Display album artwork on your iPod*, sync the iPod, reselect the option & sync again.

Album Artwork problems, extra beginning clips to songs...

Anytime I try to add album artwork to a song or group of songs, the song will add 3 seconds to itself, so it will start, get 3 seconds in, and then start over. And sometimes it will do this and not show the artwork.
Example, tried to add a picture to Sexyback, kept adding 3 seconds to the beginning of song. This is the latest version of itunes also.
It seems as though if i just add the artwork to the ipod it doesn't always do this. I've never had this problem before...anyone help?

Ugh I have this problem too. When I put songs on my iPod (new or old) and try to add artwork, it doesn't let me on my iTunes and doesn't show up on my iPod. I am getting so irritated, how do I fix it? And also, when I go to my list of artists, it sometimes lists the same person twice. And not because they have a song featuring someone, it will just list the artist twice in a row. I have the newest version of iTunes and the newest software update on my iPod so I don't know what to do...

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.

How to create iTunes album artwork

I'd like to know how to create a 600 X 600 resolution album artwork file for the Cd's that I don't have the artwork for and that I can't find. I woud like to scan them and then create these high resolution images for these.
I know that the 600 X 600 measurement is what the itunes store uses.
Any help would be apprecaited.
Thanks

Nope. Didn't do it. Thanks for the suggestion though.
The problem that also exists, which I didn't mention, but because of your suggestion i am now, is that the artwork downloaded by iTunes does not appear in the artwork window of the Get Info window. So, only the album artwork i am pasting in there appears.... Very frustrating....

IPOD w/video album artwork problems

Im having trouble with my Ipod displaying the wrong artwork (the artwork of other albums)when I view the artwork in Itunes its fine yet on my Ipod its somehow different.
If anyone else has experienced this problem or knows how to fix it please help.

Welcome to Apple Discussions Siegfried!
What is the error message?
Anyhow, if you were getting the chkdsk problem, you will want to restore. That should also help with the artwork problem...

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:
