Itunes cant find album artwork

I have some random albums on my itunes (updated today) that dont have artwork, and if I search the same album on itunes store it has the artwork. Albums like city and colour, the frey etc big name bands.

It could be that there are some diffrences anyway.
But you can do a Google image search to find the album cover.
When you find it, right-click on the image and chose 'Copy'.
In iTunes: Select all songs of the album > right-click > get info > right-click inside the Artwork field > Paste > OK

ITunes cannot find album artworks

Hello, I imported some purchased Cd's I have at home to iTunes and the album artwork does not appear. I tried all the ways to make iTunes get the artwork as the iTunes help says and still, "artwork could not be found". Is there a way I can make iTunes to automatically download the album artwork??
thank you

Do you know I have the same problem.
I go to HMV with my daughter and spend time browsing music together. We come home and inport our music. It always finds the track and album names but cannot find the Artwork. This does not seem to apply to odd or old stuff, even chart CDs.
To add insult to injury if you type the album name into Itunes it is there, with the artwork.
Another reason why I HATE Itunes......

ITunes not finding album artwork

I'm getting a bit sick of this - why does iTunes not find any album artwork any more, yet it recognises the album & finds all the tracks? This seems to be a constant problem on this forum - anyone have any ideas...? I have iTunes 11 & a desktop intel Mac, OS X 10.7.

I wouldn't be in a hurry to upgrade to 8.2.
Make sure that the *Album Artist* and Artist of your album matches up with what's in the iTunes Store EXCEPT if the artist has an ampersand (&) in it. Then put in everything up until the space before the ampersand. (You're free to edit the info after you've gotten the correctly downloaded artwork.) In some cases you may not get the correct artwork no matter how you match the data.

Ovi Player cant find album artwork

since i had the mb3datastore problem (again) on my ovi player (orig nokia music) when i rip cds into the program it finds the track listing but no artwork . any ideas?

ok sorted it by updating ovi player, but why cant you set the autoplay to just view cd using ovi player?

The Control A key is not working. I cannot multi-select my songs. I'm not sure if it is the problem with iTunes 10.6.1.7 or my PC settings encounter issues. Also, i cannot find Album Artwork online using iTunes and i cannot select any view form but List.

How do you get album artwork? I have like two thousand songs and about 95% don't have cover album artwork and when i try to get album artwork it says "Itunes can not find album artwork" "an unknown error occurred-609" what do i do?

Cant get album artwork

Hi There,
I am using itunes 6.0.4.2 with my ipod Nano and I cant seem to get any Album artwork onto Itunes from anywhere. Please help me find them or tell me where to get it so I can add them to my itunes. I see the space on the bottom of Itunes saying " drag album artwork here" but dont know where to drag it from. When I converted all my wav files to MP3 to switch from Media player to Itunes I lost all the artwork.
Thanks,
Greg

Greg,
You can get album artwork by saving the images from Amazon to your desktop and dragging them to iTunes. You can also find third party utilities for adding artwork.
iCoverArt is one: http://maximized.com/shareware/icoverart/
eyeJamz is another: http://www.eyejamz.com/
If you Google "windows program for adding artwork to itunes" you'll find others

Not finding album artwork....?

Anyone else seeing this?? Just imported death magnetic from the CD and itunes isn't finding the cover art...

I have tons of CDs that with WMP it has the artwork and when I load up itunes, nothing. go figure ... Im trying to find a way to make wmp and itunes place nice with the auto updating of the song info but between the two they love to fight and screw things up
*NOTE: You must convert WAV files to another format before you can add artwork.*
*From iTunes Help ...*
Music and video you buy from the iTunes Store comes with its own artwork. You can add your own artwork to songs and other items in your library. You can add many popular types of still-image files, including JPEG, PNG, GIF, TIFF, and Photoshop.
In list view (the leftmost View button), to display artwork for the currently selected item, choose View > Show Artwork or click this button (in the bottom left of the iTunes window):
Here are ways to add artwork to music and video:
◼ To add artwork to one item, select an item in your iTunes library and drag the art file file to the artwork viewer.
◼ To add artwork to multiple items, select an item, choose File > Get Info, and click Artwork. To add art to the selected item, click Add (or drag the art file from your desktop to the artwork box). Click Next to add artwork to the next item.
◼ To add the same artwork to multiple items, hold down the Command key as you click each item, choose File > Get Info, click Artwork, and drag the art file to the artwork box.
◼ To add more than one piece of art to a song, drag more than one image to the same artwork box.
◼ To retrieve album artwork for songs in your library, select the songs and choose Advanced > Get Album Artwork.
◼ To have iTunes automatically download album artwork when you import a CD or add songs with missing artwork, choose iTunes > Preferences, click Store, and select “Automatically download missing album artwork.”

Why wont my iTunes download the album artwork for the cd's that I import?

I'm a new Mac owner so I may be overlooking something simple. I have imported a few CD's succesfully but when i select "Preferences" and "Get Album Artwork" a message comes up that says "Could not get album artwork". I have looked in the itunes store to see if they have the album and its there... so why wont iTunes import the artwork to the albums i have imported? Thanks!

Where else can I get this?
On the World Wide Web!
iTunes will find the artwork if the album is available in the iTunes Store and your metadata precisely matches the Store data, in every respect (spaces, punctuation, spelling).
If iTunes does not get the art, simply use a web search to find the correct image.
To paste an image into a song file, highlight the file, use the command File > Get Info, open the Artwork tab, and drag the image into the space for art (or use Copy/Paste).

ITunes not Finding Album Art (Which Does Exist)

For reasons that I have been unable to ascertain, iTunes cannot find album art for some albums that I have ripped. The art does exist on iTunes--I've done a search and checked. The song text matches; the album title appears to match; but iTunes politely informs me "Artwork could not be found."
This is not due to the fact that these are songs I have ripped myself; iTunes has found plenty of other album art for tunes I've ripped myself. Something else is going on. A couple of examples for folks to chew on:
Godzilla - Blue Öyster Cult - Don't Fear The Reaper: The Best Of Blue Öyster Cult
Mirror In The Bathroom - The English Beat - Beat This! The Best of the English Beat
Freeze-Frame - J. Geils Band - Freeze Frame
The Healer - John Lee Hooker - The Healer
There are plenty of others; that's just a sample. Any advice would be appreciated.

Hello,
so there's no way of adding new covers to iTunes by drag and drop to the left bottom box??? I have to add the cover with +I only?
I've tried yesterday to add the covers with a simlpe drag and drop into the useful bottom-left box.... It didn't work... C'mon Apple!
It kinda *****...
PS: Adding covers via the new "import cover from apple store" fonction doesn't work as well. Youth bugs I presume

How do I stop iTunes changing my album artwork?

I do not want iTunes changing my album artwork. I spend a lot of time getting this right. iTunes 12.01 has started messing with this, substituting new artwork and removing what I put there. How do I stop this happening?

Hi Alan,
I have always kept this option unchecked. I've looked again just now and the option has remained unchecked. For some reason iTunes 'selected' 4 (that I've noticed) out of my 1775 albums and did its automatic update anyway. I guess this is a bug in the latest version, perhaps during the updating process.
I've changed the album art back to what I want and will keep an eye on them. I'll feed back to this thread if iTunes changes the art again.
Thanks for getting back to me,
Phil

HT1473 I am having to recreate my itunes library and do not understand why prior album artwork appeared in my older library but not the new library? Is there some way to scan itunes for missing album artwork?

I am having to recreate my itunes library and do not understand why prior album artwork appeared in my older library but not the new library? Is there some way to scan itunes for missing album artwork?

do you have a strongly recommended default "managed" library (the iPhoto preference to "copy imported items to the iPhoto library is in its checked state) or a referenced library - you have unchecked that option?
It sounds like you have a referenced library and are now experiancing one of the very siginificant drawbacks of a referenced library and one of the many reasons they are strongly not recommended
Also note that iPhoto '11 may use alises in the originals folder as part of the upgrade
It is important that we understand exactly what you have and what is not sorking - what error messages you are getting
You must NEVER make any changes of any sort to the structure of content of the iPhoto library - there are no user servicable parts in it -- and you can not rebuild yoru librtary - only iPhoto ir iPhoto Library Manager - http://www.fatcatsoftware.com/iplm/ - can rebuild a library unless you are a SQL programmer and understand the structure that iPhoto uses
