ITunes Missing Album Cover / Artwork Search feature (future update)

Hi,
I would like to request a future iTunes search function.  I know that iTunes allows you to save a Notifications report after you "Get Album Artwork" feature for missing covers or issues where it could not find Album covers.  However, can you add a function where you can list all the tracks/albums where iTunes could not find the album cover within iTunes, almost similar to the view, Show Duplicate Items function.  It would be great to list all the songs without covers within iTunes itself, so that one can work on fixing all the tracks with issues.
Thanks
p.s. still waiting on 2-way sync feature request, its been years now since i first requested.  For example, if you create an on the fly playlist on your iOS device that iTunes imports the playlist and merges any metadata updates, instead of creating duplicate playlists, etc.

  • Can't get album cover artwork to show on all tracks

    Some time ago I used MPFreaker to download album cover artwork for all (almost) the tracks I have in iTunes.
    I've just bought a 20Gb colour iPod and it only shows the artwork for the occasional track. Even where within a complete album, the artwork only shows for one or two tracks, if that.
    What am I doing wrong? I tried the trick of switching off 'Display artwork' and then switching it back on again but, if anything, that's made it worse - there are less tracks with artwork.
    Cheers
    Phil

    Pablo, I would follow the suggestion of Dave W. I use his method and everything works fine on my Ipod. All my Album art shows(5000+ songs). His restore suggestion is great too. Also, make sure you have the latest versions of the Itunes and Ipod software.
    Also, there are different ID tags that MP3 files use. Some tagging methods may not be wholely compatibile with the Ipod, or the tag might be corrupted. In this case you may try highlighting the song and converting the tag. There are a lot of tag options there.
    Or, if you are using the MP4 format, you might have problems there too. I don't know that IPod's support the MP4 format. That doesn't mean it won't work most of the time. Good Luck.

  • I like sharing my photos as a screen saver, but I do NOT want album cover artwork.

    I like sharing my photos as a screen saver on Apple TV Generation 2. but I do NOT want album cover artwork.
    to be mixed in with photos.
    Is this possible?

    I understand, under Advanced, I can choose Albums to share. Then I check Share Photos From: iPhoto.
    Then Select Blbums and Events.
    I only have one album selected with 127 photos that I took that I would like to use as a screen saver.
    However, it uses these 127 photos PLUS all the album artwork as well. This is what I do NOT want. Where do I tell it NOT to share Album artwork as in iTune album cover artwork.

  • Format and settings when scanning for album cover artwork?

    When scanning pictures for use as album cover artwork, which format works best?  Also, what settings are best: number of colors (millions or billions), and resolution in dpi?

    Thanks for responding, Limnos.  I get the the file-size trade-off.
    I guess what i need to know now is which file formats are permitted, and more to the point, do any of them work better or worse than the others in iTunes?  In particular, i see that the JPEG 2000 format is extremely efficient, but is there anything about it that makes it, or any of the other image formats, a poor choice for iTunes?

  • How to prevent album cover artwork from being synced to the I Phone

    The album cover artwork is nice enough on the Mac but it is unweildy on the I Phone (I Phone 5 S). It spaces out the real information needed which is simply folder, playlist information. In fact, I can't shuffle music among all playlists contained in a single folder, a related problem. If necessary as a solution I could live without the album cover art anywhere in I Tunes, including on the laptop.

    Thanks for responding. Even when a tune is playing and the lower left photo is toggled to "now playing," the photo on the left is different than the album cover up on top. Both are the same ONLY on the first track of the album. The album cover on the top is apparently no longer available on Amazon, CD Universe, etc., so I can't move it to the desktop and enter it as a new piece of artwork. If I am too vague about what I'm attempting to do, please call me collect at 760.471.8011.

  • ITunes 7 album cover feature

    Is there any way to tell iTunes to not display blank covers for songs with no album information? With over 2000 songs with no album information, I have to flip through 20-30 blank entries before I come across an actual full album in the coverflow feature, rendering it almost useless. Sorting by album sort of fixes this, but I prefer to sort by artist anyway

    oh, and also for some reason it wont group albums that are done by various artists, creating a new entry for every song - quite annoying and also makes browsing through it a lot more inefficient

  • Missing album cover

    When my Ipod is locked and it is playing music I can see the album cover, however with the music I recently got from Itunes I cant see the album cover when my Ipod is locked. How can I get the new songs to show the cover like the older ones??

  • Most albums missing album art on iPod Touch after updating to iOS 7

    Hi there,
    I updated my 5th-gen iPod Touch to iOS 7 yesterday.
    As the activation servers were overloaded for most of the afternoon, the update failed for me and my iPod touch ended up wiped and in recovery mode.
    I installed a blank iOS 7 and then restored my settings from the previous day's iCloud backup.
    I then reuploaded all my music from iTunes to the iPod.
    Most of the album art is missing from the iPod and it's making me very sad. All the album art is visible in iTunes, so this is rather confusing. There seems to be no consistency to it, between albums I bought on iTunes or albums I bought elsewhere and ripped to MP3 and added to my iTunes library, or albums for which I got the art directly from iTunes or by adding it myself.
    I'm using a PC with Windows 8 and the latest version of iTunes, if this matters.
    Any ideas?

    That happens sometimes
    Try:
    - 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 all music and resync
    - 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: How to back up                                                                
    - Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.      

  • Album Cover werden nach dem neuen Update nicht mehr gespeichert.

    ich verwalte meine Musik auf dem iPhone manuell und füge auch manuell über "Informationen" meine eigenen Album Cover hinzu.

  • Itunes will not show album cover in new features.

    I updated itunes to itunes 7 the album artwork shos up when im listening to a sond but in the what apple calls coverflow feature. Even in the itunes music store it comes up that way. I reintalled and still the same problem. Any help would be great its a cool feature that i would love to use.

    hope this helps anyone having issues with Apple TV not showing up in devices.
    I noticed around the same time my Apple TV stopped showing in iTunes that Safari was running painfully slow, so I spent my time troubleshooting that instead of dealing with the Apple TV.
    Anyway, my DNS server was 208.67.222.222 and several posters suggested i add 208.67.220.220 to my server list, which I did with nothing improving or changing. Well, I just decided to change the order the DNS servers were in, moving 220 above 222 and that instantly solved my Safari issue and internet browsing is blazing fast again. I decided to check if that changed anything with iTunes and it did. After re-entering my network settings into my Apple TV, iTunes now recognizes the Apple TV in the device control panel.
    hope that helps.

  • 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.

  • Changes made on my iPad do not appear when plugged into iTunes; missing album art on iPad.

    If I make changes to the music on my iPad--i.e. delete songs/albums, add ratings, add a song to a playlist--when I plug my iPad in to view the contents in iTunes, none of these changes have been saved. The deleted music reappears, the ratings do not show up, and the new songs are not in the playlist.
    Additionally, when I have my iPad plugged in to my Mac, all of my album art shows in iTunes. However, if I look at the music on my iPad by albums, much of my album art is missing.
    Any suggestions?

    Visionplace, i have the issue where my ipad2 changes/edits to my current playlists are NOT synced up with my itunes 11 on my computer (Windows 7).  I have icloud and Itunes Match is turned on.  My settings are to auto-sync and i have ALL my music set to be synced, not just select playlists. (Note I have not tested whether new playlists will appear because i usually just edit my existing ones).
    So whenever i make playlist changes on my ipad2 (e.g., add or delete songs), i see the changes correctly on my iphone 4, and my Apple TV within 15 minutes without taking any steps, but they do NOT appear on my itunes 11 on my computer (Windows 7).  The only way i have found to get the ipad2 playlist edits onto my itunes on my computer is to sync my iphone4 up with the computer. (My ipad changes are already on the iphone 4 automatically). My computer's itunes 11 CAN see the playlist edits i have made on the iphone4 (immediately), but not the ipad.  It *****, but it works for me.
    For new music purchases (from itunes store) on my ipad2, the only way i can see them on my itunes 11 on the computer is to go to the store, and download them again. Otherwise, they will not appear.
    Note - in another forum when i was researching this ipad sync issue, someone had stated that the ipad/computer sync is one way. (I.e., from computer-to-ipad only). If true, that would explain why the ipad edits and new music purchases dont show up in my computer itunes. However, the iphone sync must be two ways.

  • Album cover artwork (could really use the help, I'm bummed)

    For some reason on my last sync a whole bunch of cover art is now on the wrong albums ? How do I get all the right work on all the right albums ? By the way I haven't found anyone else with this problem. Recently down loaded new 7.7.1 version but then had to do a system restore to rid of some problems. Maybe this had something to do with it ?

    When you go into the Photos App, select the folder where the photos are that you want to delete. There should be an "Edit" button at the top right, select this. Then you can tap on every photo that you want to delete. When you are done selecting the photos, tap the red "Delete" button, bottom right.

  • Why aren't my album cover arts being synced after updating to ios5?

    They display fine in the iTunes library.
    It only started happening after upgrading to ios.
    Any solutions?
    Thanks for your time.
    (iPod touch 4gen)

    Just updating the discussion with the current events.
    After fixing the problem and having it fixed for about a month, iTunes decided to resync all my library and deleted about a third of my albums' artwork. Even though I use manual sync, all my albums were still on my hard drive and they all had their covers correctly assigned.
    This is certainly a bug on either ios5 or iTunes 10.5.1
