Itunes movie cover art

When I import movies (ones I did not download from iTunes) I always put in a poster for the artwork. But I have one stubborn movie and it will not take any artwork for it.
I drag the artwork in the box and click ok but nothing happens. The artwork is gone the next time I open it up.
Any suggestions?
Oh and this has occurred before iTunes 8.

I had the same problem but I will check if I managed to correct it

  • When I download a movie from iTunes the cover art disappears. I try get info and add the art, it doesn't show up. So it's just gray. It opens and plays fine. Apple can't figure it out. It's an nas drive. When I use a firewire drive I get the art

    When I download movies from iTunes to my NAS drive, I don't get the cover art. It shows up while its downloading, but when it's finish it disappears. If it has an iTunes extra the cover art is there. I tried get info and add the cover art, it never shows. Regardless of how I add it. Funny thing is, if I download the same movie to my external firewire drive, no problem its there. I've called Apple with no success. I've even tried copying the movie with the art from the firewire drive to replace the file on then NAS drive I still loose the movie cover art. I also tried several times to re download it, no luck. Any ideas? I'm out of ideas.

    Do you have any videos/movies in the video app?
    In iTunes if you right click on the video and select Get Info and go to the Option tap what Media Type is shown?

  • Movie Cover-Art Does Not Match Movie When Sharing On iPad?

    The movies that are on my iTunes display properly.  The movie cover-art matches the actual movie.
    I turned on sharing in iTunes and when I select Video > Sharing on the iPad The Cover-Arts do not match
    the actual movie it represents?
    Seems to look right on my AppleTV and on my iPhone but not the iPad.  I also noticed that when I select the
    the sharing icon on the iPad it loads it way faster than before.  I am thinking that it's loading it from bad cache.
    Is there a way to have it actually reload the data or clear its cache?
    What I have tried;
    I have re-booted the iPad and that did not work.
    I have also turned sharing off and on on iTunes and that did not work

  • Why can't I resize my movie cover art.  I'm not blind!

    There used to be a slider bar to re-size the movie cover art.  It's gone and they appear to be sized for the blind!

    So it kinda sounds like you got your money's worth.

  • Refreshing Movie Cover Art?

    I have my Apple TV wirelessly connected in streaming mode. I add new cover artwork to my ripped movies in Itunes along with the movie info but I'm having problems getting the displayed cover art to update on Apple TV. Shouldn't Apple TV automatically detect that the cover art and movie info has been updated or is there a procedure for getting it to refresh that info? Thanks for any help you can give..

    I am very impressed with the ATV and have succesfully
    recoded DVD's using Nero Premium 7, The quality is
    great and I cannot tell the difference of a DVD
    played rom my Denon. Unfortunately I cannot change
    the Artwork which has been selected from the first
    frame of the DVD. I have followed all the
    instructions, right clicked info, deleted artwork,
    browsed to new artwork downloaded from Amazon and it
    appears to replace the image. If I select the general
    tab it shows the new artwork, but as soon as I click
    on OK the Artwork reverts back to the original!
    Help, I am an advanced PC and MAC user but this
    currently has me baffled!
    I am wondering if it is the program used to encode is somehow affecting how iTunes deals with the artwork?
    Since you are a Mac user, could you try using MediaFork or something similar and see if the artwork is an issue there as well?
    Also, could you try iTunes installed on a different computer (preferably fresh)?
    I have a fairly large and old iTunes library running on my Intel iMac and use primarily MTR -> MediaFork, or just MediaFork, and I have been able to add art to all so far...

  • No Movie Cover Art?

    Hello all,
    My iTunes Extras enabled movies do not show any cover art on the iPad - or - inside of the iTunes movies area of the iPad device page.

    these movies DO SHOW cover art in coverflow and grid views or iTunes...
    Thanks,

  • Quicktime Movie Cover Art

    I saw a thread addressing a similar issue. The previous one had the same issue as I am having, that the cover art that iTunes selects for an imported MOV file is some frame in the middle of the movie. However, I want to be able to set the theatrical poster or DVD cover as the cover art, instead of manually setting a fram of the movie as the poster. Does anyone have any idea how to do this?

    We, too, are having this problem.
    You used to be able to just get info on the movie and paste the artwork into the artwork field.
    However, as of iTunes 7.1.1, you can no longer do this for MOV files - the artwork tab is greyed out.
    We are hoping to find a solution to this problme soon. In the meantime, I have another Mac with iTunes 7.1 installed on it and are moving our MOV files there, setting the artwork, and then moving them into the proper computer that is running iTunes 7.1.1. It's a huge pain in the * but it's a valid work-around until Apple fixes the problem.

  • IPhone 4S, iOS 8.2 update, iTunes album cover art missing

    Hello,
    I just updated my 64GB iPhone 4s to the new iOS 8.2, after reading online that it addressed issues with previous iOS 8 updates.
    Everything on the phone seems to work fine as far as I've found, but the album cover art for almost every album isn't coming over.
    I know this may sound insignificant, but it is the fastest way to look up music, especially when on the go.
    I have all my album artwork included on iTunes on my laptop.  Previous to this update, all album covers came over to iPhone.
    I just did the update to 8.2 last night (March 9, 2015), and synced my iPhone with my laptop to update my music catalog.
    First time it didn't bring the artwork over, so I re-synced and tried again.  Our of the 474 albums currently on the devise, album artwork came over on 58 albums.
    Has anyone else identified this issue?  If so, were you able to find a solution?
    Thank you.

    This has happened about 2 other times since updating to iOS 8.3.  I have an iPhone 6 Plus (128 GB).  I am able to retrieve the album artwork by removing the music from the device and then syncing with iTunes again.  This is a hassle, though, as I have 12,000+ songs that I sync to the device.  Album artwork hangs around for about 2 weeks and then mysteriously vanishes again.  So I have finally given in and will wait until the next software update and then hope for the best with another remove/sync cycle after the update has been applied.
    Bush league, Apple.  Bush league.

  • Artist cover art

  • ITunes 10.6 Cover Art for Movies Missing and Wont Redownload

    After the upgrade to 10.6 all my cover art disappeared on my movies. When I right click and ask it to redownload nothing happens

    I have just encountered this problem as well.  When I clicked get info on the 30+ movies that my artwork disappeared on only about 7 repopulated.  I then quit itunes and restarted my computer and the rest of the movies are still blank.  All the info is in the get info section including the artwork but it will not show up in my library.
    Any new ideas on this subject?

  • Movies do not run and cover art is missing in iTunes Mac after sync with iPad

    I down load purchased movies from Apple to my iPad.  The movies runs fine and cover art is visible.  Great.  However, after I sync with my Mac Mini, the cover art on my iPad is missing.  The cover art in the iTunes library on my Mac Mini is missing, and the movies won't run on the Mac Mini.  Whe I re-sync, I get a message that says the movie can't sync because it can't be found.

    Is your album cover issue resolved?
    If not, have you perhaps tried to disable iTunes Match on your iPhone (in Settings) and signed out of your Apple ID (on the phone)? This might work.
    The issue seems to be that the iTunes Match server does not update all the tracks with the new album cover art, particularly if you added the covers some time after importing the CD's (remember then that there was no cover art on some of them!)
    Another possible solution is to rename the iTunes database (.itl file) by appending say "old" (without the quotes) and recreate a new one with maybe 1 or 2 albums, wait for the server to match the tracks (you can check on your iPhone after disabling and then re-enabling iTunes Match on the phone), then delete the 1 or 2 albums so that the iTunes music library is empty and wait again; you can check the iPhone again.
    Finally, quit iTunes, delete the latest database and rename the original database with its original name (by removing the "old" appendage).
    Then let iTunes Match reload the server with all the information: this might take a few minutes (hours?) depending on the size of the library.
    In the meantime you can remove all the music on the iPhone by disabling iTunes Match in the phone's settings.

  • I'm unable to import cover art to my MPEG-4 movies that I've imported into iTunes. What gives? Where is the artwork tab?

    I'm unable to import cover art to my MPEG-4 movies that I've imported into iTunes. What gives? Where is the artwork tab?  I'm running iTunes 11 on my Windows 7 laptop.

    I thank you for the response.  Apple does some assinine things sometimes and this is one of them.  Ask the planet the difference between a movie and a home video and with the exception of Apple, you'd get 100% consenus on the what difference is.  A home video is something that I shoot, like my kids birthday party.  A movie is something I urchased either via download or a DVD that I ripped.  Unbelievable!   The fact that Apple has chosen not to distinguish based upon which folder I tell it is Movies and which folder is Home Videos is really hard to fathom - sounds like something Windows would do. I find it funny that in my iTunes movies sub-section of the movies section, the movie icons have a cloud icon in upper right corner to distinguish it as bought from Apple iTunes versus no cloud icon for movies that I have ripped - so the distintion was already made and clearly visible.  Now - everything just defaults to "home videos" if I try to import a new ripped DVD - why even bother to have this distinction on the iTunes bar?  WOW!
    As for your direction, I do not understand what you are telling me - what Media Kind and what Options tab are you referring to?  I see no Options tab in iTunes.  Right licking on the movie icon does not yield media kind or options as well.  Gping to the source file does not yield these options either.
    Thanks again for your help.

  • On itunes on my computer I put all my songs into the right albums and cover art on the albums but it doesn't show up that way on my ipod

    On itunes on my computer I took the time to sort my songs put them by the correct artists and albums and got all the cover art for it but when i go to put it that way on my iPod it doesn't work that way? Why is it showing multiple albums for the same album and no cover art for some albums and unknown artists for the artist? It says differently on Itunes on my computer.

    Hi adtsalmon,
    You can only watch the movie on the device you rented it on. Here's a snippet from the Apple Support site (italics mine):
    If you download a rented movie on your computer: You can transfer it to a device such as your Apple TV (1st generation), iPhone, iPad, or iPod if it’s a standard-definition film (movies in HD can only be watched on your computer, iPad, iPhone 4 or later, iPod touch (4th generation or later), or Apple TV). Once you move the movie from your computer to a device, the movie will disappear from your computer's iTunes library. You can move the movie between devices as many times as you wish during the rental period, but the movie can only exist on one device at a time.
    If you download a rented movie on your iPhone 4 or later, iPad, iPod touch (4th generation or later), or Apple TV: It is not transferable to any other device or computer.
    Here's the link to the Movie Rentals FAQs site FYI:

    Hope this helps!
    Cheers,

  • Cover Art Problems with iTunes Library on a NAS

    I have my iTunes library stored on a Synology NAS.  I use a networked Mac Mini as a dedicated iTunes player, I set it up so the Mac Mini finds my iTunes library on the NAS.  The cover art for all of my movies that I ripped from my home DVD collection shows up fine in iTunes.  But the cover art for movies that I downloaded from iTunes does not show up, either in iTunes on my Mac Mini, or on my AppleTV (2nd Gen).  I suspect the problem comes from the fact that I keep the iTunes library in a separate place (on the NAS) rather than on the computer that runs iTunes.  Is there a fix to this?

    I'm having troubles with my Itunes in combination with the synology server as well...
    I'm getting audio from the server, all of this is working great.... But I'm not getting any cover art! I'm also not getting the optn to view the info of tracks. This is all working when I'm listing to track placed on my Mac in stead of the server.
    Could you help me setting up de synology? Is there any structure neccesary on the server? Could you send me a screen grab of yours?

  • Recent itunes convert, organizing, cover art, etc.

    im trying to gather as much best practice info about ripping large quantities of my cds to mp3 using itunes. ive previously used other windows or opensource apps in the past, and the folder organization can always be counted on (but unlink itunes, they dont download cover art).
    also, ive run into a few situations where a popular/recent album is unable to find cover art. is there also some sort of best practice that covers getting the highest probability of it actually finding the right cover art? (ive also had some movie soundtracks pull the wrong cover art too)

    Ok, Richsadams et al: I think I have all this artwork missing problem figured out, here is how.
    We just need to chill out and simply wait. They will all eventually show up there on their own. It took me few hours to realize all that, but it is true, it will be there on their own, as long as you have them in your pc/mac library hard drive.
    Thanks all for the replies. This is a brand new service, and of course it will have its problems at the beginning, especially when millions of people do it at the same day. At the end, we'll all be happy with iTunes match and iCloud, I know it! Especially streaming all your iclouds library via Apple TV is simply awesome!!
    I’m not sure how "waiting" would have helped in this case.  Had I not been proactive, the cover art would still be missing.    Overall the service is still "buggy" IMO and users shouldn't have to wait or go through some pretzel logic to resolve problems.  If it were one or even a couple of issues that’s one thing...but this did not go well on a number of levels.
    I understand "early adoption" caveats, but based on numerous posts here and elsewhere, this was not a pleasant experience for a lot of folks...with many still struggling to get things back on track. 
    We have admittedly been spoiled by Apple's usual high standards.  However with all of the issues with the rollout of iOS 5 and now iTunes Match, recent events have been very disappointing.  Apple has previously set the customer experience bar very high and almost always met or surpassed it.  These past couple of fairly major events felt rushed and unpolished.
    I'm the first one to come to Apple's defense and will continue to do so, but this experience has soured my outlook on Apple's ability to continue to deliver at their previous levels.  I hope they are able to regroup and learn from this because I truly want them to succeed and stay on top.
