ITunes Album Covers Missing

I just completed the software update for iTunes 7.6.2 (9) and now all my album covers show an icon with a broken chain. When I click on album cover view iTunes crashes.
Any suggestions or fixes? Thanks

Hi,
I 've been having the same issue.
One thing I noticed was that it seemed to be like the missing albums were the ones purchased with a different Apple ID (mine but from a different country)... Then I realized that (as you said) it was rather arbitrary since the recently bought ones are either missing or just fine.
But most purchased with a diff ID are missing album covers.
I myself have 4 country IDs since I lived shortly in diff places.
I wish Apple was less constraining regarding this, but I guess it's got to be due to the music houses' rules and conditions...

  • Album Covers Missing

    All my album covers show up in Itunes but when I do a backup/sync on my iphone I lose quite a few album covers...I can get them back by restoring to factory settings but the next time I do a back up it takes away the album covers again....any advice on how to get this to stop happening?

    I also have album covers missing. I imported all my MP3 songs into itunes as well as downloading new songs from the iTunes shop. I have multiple albums from the same artist, eg The Deltones and some albums have missing artwork, eg Walk like a Man = OK, Tickled Pink = no artwork. Both were purchased as a CD. 3 Neil Diamond albums = no artwork.
    Those albums with art work display OK.

  • Album covers missing or mixed up on iPhone/iPad after 4.3.5 update. Only purchased songs affected. What can I do to solve this issue?

    Yes but there's no point doing it here. As the Terms of Use make quite clear this is a User to User forum. It's Users like you talking to other Users. It's not a channel to communicate with Apple.

  • Screen Saver of itunes album covers.. choosing album covers from playlist??

    Is it possible to have a screen saver, like the one in preferences which combines all your album covers from itunes, but instead choosing the album covers from a playlist?

    I don't have an answer for you, but I do have a few questions.
    How would the screen saver know which playlist to display album covers from? If it is selecting covers from all of your playlists, how is it different from a screen saver which shows you all of your album covers?

  • Music album covers miss-match

    I'm really bothered by the fact that my music album covers don't match the actual album. What can I do to fix it so they do match? Has anyone else had this problem?

    That happens for some users:
    - Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost      
    Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Unsync/delete all music and resync
    To delete all music go to Settings>General>Usage>Storage>Music>Tap edit in upper right and then tap the minus sign by All Music
    - Reset all settings                            
    Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
    All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
    - Restore from backup. See:                                               
    iOS: Back up and restore your iOS device with iCloud or iTunes
    - Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.                       

  • Since iOS5 update, album covers missing

    A couple days ago, I upgraded to Lion and also udated my iPhone4 and iPad to iOS5.  Today, I synced the iPhone4, then made changes to app layout and applied changes.  When iTunes was running to apply the changes, I saw a message under the sync status bar that said "updating album artwork."  It appeared to be updating all of the artwork.  I went back and added a few pdfs that I wanted to sync and applied those.  I again saw the message "updating album artwork."  So, I checked the phone and about 95% of my albums don't have any artwork. 
    I rebooted the phone and synced again.  Same message and still almost no album covers.
    I don't keep music on iPad so no other device to compare to.  All album covers are in iTunes library.
    Is anyone else having this issue?  Any ideas on a fix other than a full restore?

    Found a fix.  Had to uncheck Music in iTunes to remove library from phone.  Then rechecked Music to reload library.  All album covers appeared.

  • Itunes album covers I import are fuzzy, jpeg-quality.

    I designed this great, high-quality, crystal-clear album cover at 600x600 pixels for an album of music I made (.png format). I got the songs, added the album cover for those songs, and synced it to my ipod. It looks great on itunes, but on my ipod, it's a bit fuzzy or blurry, and the picture has those jpeg-type markings on it. I tried changing the size to 900x900 (still keeping the entire image sharp) and even changing the file type to .jpeg, but alas, no increase in quality.
    I've imported album covers before without this problem. Any ideas as to why this is happening?
    Thanks in advance.

    It has been my experience that iTunes and iDevices don't always like resolutions above 72 ppi. That may not be the case here, but I suggest dropping your album cover down and see how it looks to you. Other than than I'm afraid I don't have any other suggestions.

  • After last upgrade my itunes album covers dont match the songs.  any ideas why?

    after last system upgrade, the album covers do not match the music.  I called apple, they walked me thru something that did NOT work.  I delete the music, then readd...get the song with dotted circle....what does this mean??  The info is correct in my itunes under get info and then album art work.....

    Did you select the playlists to sync in itunes under the music tab?

  • Itunes album rating missing

    I recently got iTunes match and since getting it, all my album ratings have disappeared? Is there anyway to fix this without manually having to re-enter every single rating?

    Yep, here too. Each time I unsubscribe my second machine and resubscribe to iTunes Match, my machine syncs with the cloud. And each time I get a different result: Albums missing, ratings missing or different to the master iTunes library. With my last sync I only get to see albums with 4 stars. Interestingly I have albums in there that have 3 or 5 stars on my other machine. A DISASTER!

  • Preview Album covers missing in screen saver mode

    When my ATV goes into screen saver mode the small pictures of the covers in the bottom left hand corner of the screen are missing, i only get a grey box. Is there any way of getting the covers to show there like they used too.

    Yes, the same for me as well. The image only appears when I press the menu button and exit the screensaver. Furthermore, the (now larger) image takes a second to appear when normal it appears instantly.
    Did you ever find a way to fix this issue?

  • Missing Album covers in iPhone/iPad (iTunes 11)... anyone?

    I was hoping with the update to iTunes that this problem would have been solved- i was WRONG.
    It's entirely disheartening that a problem that has existed for quite some time now continues, and not just with my iPhone 4 but also with my brand new iPad mini!
    I'm noticing it seems completely arbitrary as to which album cover is missing- both ripped and bought albums are missing their artwork when I transfer over...a nd some retain the cover art (and yes they exist in iTunes- I'm pretty anal about keeping my music all sorted).
    I've read the dozens of fixes that either work or don't work for any given person.
    How can Apple allow such a glaring bug to continue?
    Sigh...

  • Lost album covers from amazon and not itunes store?

    lost some of my album covers since transfer of library to new computer. how do i get it back as some music was purchased through amazon and not itunes store?

    If it's a relatively small number of songs, select the song or songs (with missing album artwork) in the iTunes music library listing.  Right-click on the selected song(s) and select Get Album Artwork.
    If you want iTunes to go through your entire music library, select Music under LIBRARY in the iTunes sidebar.  From the menu bar, under the Advanced menu, select Get Album Artwork.  Don't do it this way, if you have some albums where you added artwork that you selected yourself, because they may get replaced.
    It does not matter if a song was purchased in the iTunes Store, ripped from CD, or purchased at Amazon (or elsewhere).  If the song can be identified as a song in the iTunes Store database, it will get the artwork for it.
    Some artwork may not be available.  In that case you can add your selection.  A good way to do it, if the songs came from Amazon, is to find the song or album at Amazon.  On the web page for the song or album, click-hold-drag the image (of the album artwork) from the browser window to the iTunes window, and drop it where the album artwork normally appears.  NOTE:  You can do this for multiple songs at one time.

  • My album covers are messed up on the Iphone, but not one Itunes....

    I don't know what's going on, but basically, alot of the albums/artists have the wrong album covers...ie, I see an album using another artist's album cover, sometimes for more than one artist. I can have up to 3 different albums all using the same image, but in itunes, the artwork is correct.
    Only in my iphone is it messed up...any solutions? Thanks.

    I had a similar problem to you that I have since solved.
    At first only some albums/songs were missing artwork but they all showed up fine in itunes. I went into itunes and did the view where the album art is displayed next to the album in a list, middle option for viewing. I found that on several 1-2 songs did not have the artwork attached and so that was the cause of it not showing up on my iphone. However after I got all that solved I found that the artworks were all messed up. Much like you described many songs had the complete wrong artwork and some songs on the same album had different artworks or the same artwork showed up on multiple albums.
    I could only come up with resyncing my iphone to solve it. I only use one playlist for my iphone so that I can sort of do manual management and only have to deal with one playlist. So I unchecked the playlist and did a sync to clear off all the audio. Then I rechecked the playlist and did a sync to reload everything and after that was done everything appeared correctly.
    I didn't notice if this was affecting any of my purchased albums, I don't have that many so I didn't think about it but affected a lot of them. I hope this helps in some way and that you can get it working again.

  • Why won't all my album covers in itunes 10.5.2.11 synch on my 4th gen itouch.

    About 10 of my album covers won't load from itunes to my itouch, when i try to reload album artwork it says album artwork not found but yet the album cover is there in itunes. these covers loaded on my old first gen itouch but i just got a 4th gen and like i said all the album artwork does'nt load. Anyone know . Thanks

    i figured it out myself. I went to amazon.com typed in all the albums that i was missing art work and right clicked on the album cover and saved them to my computers hard drive under pictures then dragged them one at a time into itunes were the album art was missing and it saved them. Then I resynched my itouch and now I'm all set. Hope this helps others.

  • Banshee is missing 2/3 of my album covers

    banshee is missing 2/3 of my album covers, even though most of them are available on the websites it claims to search. Any ideas?

    Well the album names certainly show up correctly in banshee. But I guess it may have retrieved this information from the itunes library somehow, rather than metadata in the mp3s. (Most of my music collection was originally ripped from my own CDs with itunes, so I don't know whether that implies that it would not contain metadata.)
    So, when people rip from their own CDs, is banshee typically able to find the cover art? Or does that really only work for songs that have been purchased electronically?
