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 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.

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • ITunes Album Artwork Messup on iTouch

    Hello,
         I've recently bought songs on iTunes (like a lot of people in this world), but when I synced this song to my iPod Touch (4th generation), it completely messed up the album artwork and assigned the wrong artowork to those songs. When I had my old iPod (2nd generation), syncing to my computer also messed up the artowork in my iTunes library on my iPod. Has any of you ever encountered this problem or know a fix to it? I've synced my iPod multiple times after seeing this issue, and restored from a backup, to no avail.
    Here is a screen shot on my iPod of the problem:
    As you can probably see, the song "One More Night" is NOT by Aerosmith... I congratulate myself on good observations -.-

  • 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.
    Eagle Eyes

    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.

  • NEW Album Artwork Problem and MORE!

    Once I puchased a laptop, I attempted to copy the library on my main computer to the laptop. This worked fine. The problrms arose once I synced my Ipod to my new laptop. After I synced it,  alot of the album artwork is not correctly positioned. What I mean by this: the artwork is with the correct songs, etc. but the actual artwork is all whackey. For example, instead of the artwork having the correct, individual sizes, they are in the same black box no matter what the size of the artwork, meaning artwork that is tall and wide is missing the top and bottom with black boxes on the sides.
    That is the best I can explain that.
    Another problem arose when I attempted to update my ipod. I got an error (-43) when I updated it on my laptop. After it failing over and over again, I just moved back my stuff from the laptop to the main computer to update it there. Now after I sync it to the main computer, the album artwork is still garbage and glitchy on my ipod. Moreover, I am still getting the error (-43) message.
    *** itunes?
    So now im thinking, "well, i'm going to have to save my library somewhere else and sync the ipod without a library." What makes me reluctant is if I move my library, which has the album artwork messed up, will it stay like that after the update considering the music is not being updated with it?
    Well, this *****. I have no idea what to do. Why must iTunes have so many problems?

    Well, It updated and synced fine. The album artwork sizes were fixed too!
    But now the artwork looks add like the pixles are not set in properly....
    Oh well.
    Thanks to anyone who read this.

  • Album artwork problem

    So I just got done importing Stadium Arcadium (RHCP) into iTunes (a CD from store, not a copy burnt somewhere else) and when I press cmd+I to edit the info, the lyrics & artwork tabs are inaccessible, meaning that if you press them nothing happens. This is a bit annoying, as I want to add album artwork, so I can see the covers when I'm listening in iTunes or on my iPhone. This is not a problem on any other album, just this one. Anyone know what's wrong? Thanks in advance.

    Converting the songs to AAC did the trick.

  • Album Artwork Problems

    All of my album artwork appears normal and complete in iTunes, but after updating much of it and re-syncing I have issues with how it displays on my iPod Touch (4th generation). Many of the songs display the artwork incorrectly and some albums don't display the artwork unless I jump through some hoops each time. Watch this video I made to see what I mean by that.
    Any suggestions?

    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...

  • 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 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!
    Tom G

    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

  • Album artwork problems (-609)

    Hey, when I try and 'Get Album Artwork', I get the error (-609). I'm trying to get artwork on Calvin Harris, RFTW album. Most other albums work, any suggestions?

    Bump-I also have this problem. I have album artwork on almost all in Itunes on my PC, but most of my music in my MP3 player (Blackberry Curve) doesn't have art. I know in my case, i'm using the software installed on the Blackberry. If there is something better, please let me know. Thx
