ITunes not displaying album covers

I have a Windows 7 computer that I bought in May. Up until now everything has been fine w/ iTunes. Today, suddenly, out of nowhere, it says: iTunes is unable to browse album covers on this computer. What is this about? Never have had this problem before...

TxU...Ctrl @ worked for the sidebar.  Still trying to get to view the albums AND the list details at the same time. I've tried every which way from Sunday via the view menu??

  • ITunes not finding album covers

    Hello, I've decided to upload my albums to iTunes. But I'm becoming more and more furstrated as iTunes can't seem to find a lot of the album covers.
    I've tried Tune-up but I've used up all the free album covers they give you. Is there any other 'Simple to use' apps/programms that can help me with this problem?
    Many thanks,
    Moodyblues1977

    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.

  • IPad3-iTunes won't display album covers-freezes

    iTunes locks up on my iPad 3 and does not display Album covers. All else works fune. I have restored as a new iPad and iTunes is fine.  Unfortunately, after loading apps from iTunes back on, iTunes begins to again have same problem.

    I've got the same problem and I have all the new drivers. It's driving me crazy!!!

  • Doesn't display album covers for individually selected songs.  Why?

    I just synced up my new iPod Classic and am surprised that it doesn't display album covers when I individually select songs or when it shuffles songs. The artwork is there - it displays them in Cover Flow or when I select songs from the Album list, but not when I select songs from the Song list or when it shuffles.  Why not?  Is there a setting I need to fix?

    You're adding the artwork incorrectly.
    Instead of selecting the first track of the album, select the complete album. Then select File/Get Info and answer "yes" to the "multpile items" question. The Artwork box is now on the Info tab instead of its own tab. Paste the artwork into that one box and that will add it to the whole album.
    I can't be precise about the detail, but as far as I know, there will be one piece of artwork and iTunes and your iPod will refer to that one picture for each track, so it will not be taking up extra storage space.
    Pasting the artwork into each track individually will drive you crazy - and I suspect it will take up extra space.
    (If fellow "discussions user" tt2 adds to this post, I'm pretty sure he will confirm {or not if I'm wrong} what I've said about the extra space used if you paste into each track individually.)

  • Some of the album artwork on my iPod is wrong. I've tried to change it many times but it doesn't change. I've decided that the easiest thing to do now would be to NOT display album artwork on my iPod. How do I set my iPod to NOT display album art?

    Some of the album artwork on my iPod is wrong. I've tried to change it many times but it doesn't change. I've decided that the easiest thing to do now would be to NOT display album artwork on my iPod. How do I set my iPod to NOT display album art? I've checked the User manual and that doesn't help.

    Why don't you, instead of taking time to do that, just backup, and then restore your iPod?
    Just a suggestion..

  • ITunes not displaying Talking Walking podcasts – how can I resolve this?

    iTunes not displaying Talking Walking podcasts – how can I resolve this?
    http://www.talkingwalking.net
    Created on iWeb version 3.0.4
    Mac OS X 10.6.8 (10K549)
    Upgraded to Snow Leopard in August 2010 from Tiger.
    Originally published 26 podcast episodes using IWeb to MobileMe and successfully had them in the iTunes store.  Then upgraded to Snow Leopard and had consistent problems publishing through iWeb, with messages appearing saying that the site hadn’t published on MobileMe or that the upload had timed out. 
    This meant that I had to upload the whole site whenever I made a slight change or published a new episode. Some of the pages failed to completely load on the website, and none of the new episodes appeared in the iTunes store.  However, it was still possible to subscribe to the new episodes through the website Subscribe button.
    Earlier this year, the original 26 episodes vanished from the ITunes store. 
    At the end of June, I moved my server from MobileMe to Rage and subsequently the website publishes without any time out messages or pages not fully functioning.  This means that when I come to make updates or add a new episode, I can speedily upload changes. 
    I have tried to resubmit the feed for the website to the iTunes store but Talking Walking still does not appear in the store (nor do any of the links to the individual podcasts from the website work), however, you can still subscribe to podcasts, but now only those uploaded since August 2010.
    I have sent an e mail to iTunes explaining my dilemma but have had no reply.
    Would welcome any suggestions as to how I can rectify this issue.  Next year is the fifth anniversary of Talking Walking podcasts and it would be nice to see them available again through the iTunes store.
    With thanks, Andrew

    Your feed is at http://www.talkingwalking.net/public/Talking_Walking/rss.xml . It contains episodes running from 23 February 2008 to 20 September 2012 and when you subscribe to this feed in the iTunes application all the episodes appear. The link on your web page is to this feed, so subscribing from the page works OK,
    Searching for 'Talking Walking' in the iTunes Store produces a lot of result, none of them relevant or yours. This rather suggests that your podcast has been removed from the Store - if the feed wasn't functioning for an appreciable time this would be a normal reason for removal.
    if your feed was originally on MobileMe and you have moved it to another server you have to tell the iTunes Store about this by adding a special tag to the feed - details here:
    http://www.wilmut.webspace.virginmedia.com/notes/podcast.html#move
    If you did not do this - and it's now too late - the Store will have been stuck looking for the non-existent old feed, which will very likely get your podcast removed.
    You mention seeing the web page for the Store page - it's not possible to check this unless you post the URL.
    If the podcast has been removed from the Store you will have to re-submit it as a new one. Unfortunately there is a bug in the automated part of the submissions process which will tell you the feed has already been submitted, even when it's been removed. In order to get round this you will have to change the title of the feed slghtly. You can always change it back later provided that doing so does not change the feed URL - I think this may well happen if you are using iWeb, so be cautious about this.

  • IPod does not display album cover art

    I recently updated to iTunes 9 and also bought a new MacBook Pro. Then I synced my old iPod color with my new Mac. Since then my iPod does not display the album art work anymore. I was looking through iTunes 9 for the option to display the artwork on the iPod because I remembered that setting from older versions but could not find it. Does iTunes 9 just asume my iPod can't display covers because it is a 4th gen even though it is the color version?

    hi mduran, no i could not find any solution. My iPod (60gb, probably the same as yours) is filled to the top and has been before the iTunes update and then it worked fine. I think this is a bug in iTunes. It's interesting to see that this happens in the Mac and Windows version of iTunes. Is there any way of telling Apple about that so it will be in the next update?

  • Displaying album covers

    I've had my iPod classic since before New Year, and suddenly the last three albums I've burned onto it do not show the artwork on the iPod. It displays in iTunes without any difficulty, so far I've tried:
    - Deleting the covers, and dragging in different kinds of image file. All display on the PC with no difficulty, but fail to display on the iPod.
    - Converting the file type between mp3 & AAC, all to no avail.
    - Deleting the music entirely, and re-burning. Still nothing.
    - Uploading both directly from iTunes & scanning the cover in, resizing and drag / drog.
    Nothing I've tried has worked, so now I'm left with over 10,000 tracks from numerous albums all happily displaying the correct covers, with the sole exception of these three new albums!
    Any idea, experienced users?

    Try these...
    *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.

  • ITunes not displaying ALL remote speakers...

    All,
    I have two airport expresses hooked up, but I can only get airtunes to work with the express that is 'extending' the range of my network. The airport express connected to my modem will not display in iTunes. How can I troubleshoot this and get both airports to appear in iTunes drop-down????
    thanks in advance,

    Hmm, what column is your current view sorted on? Many of them don't keep the tracks of an album together. See Use an album friendly view. Assuming you knew that already a screenshot might provide clues.

  • ITunes not displaying all synced files that are on my iPhone.

    All,
    I am having an issue that I did not see here.
    First, ever since the last iTunes upgrade (the one prior to the latest upgrade that added iTunes match), I have had problems with album artwork displaying on my iPhone. My efforts to solve that issue by deleting and then re-syncing tracks without artwork created another issue: Duplicate songs on my iPhone. The strange thing is, when the iPhone is connected to iTunes and I click "Music" under iPhone, the track list displayed in iTunes shows no duplicates. However, if I navigate on my iPhone (even while connected to my computer), it shows duplicates of several songs. The duplicates appear to be the ones that I tried to delete and then replace to show the artwork.
    I have just done a "restore" on my iPhone to try to resolve the this issue since there apparently is no way to clear the duplicates in iTunes (remember - the duplicate tracks are not displaying). I will see if this solves the issue. Does anyone know what is happening here, and most importantly, how to prevent this from happening again? This is very annoying!

  • 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

  • ITunes not displaying current files in iTunes Media folder

    My iTunes Media folder with all the Music and Applications are there but iTunes does not show all these files
    E.g. My iTunes Media folder has 50 albums
    iTunes only displays 20 albums.

    Hi, welcome to Apple Discussions.
    Unlike Windows Media Player, iTunes doesn't automatically scan your media folders for new/changed files.
    *Adding new items/removing orphans*
    Try iTunes Folder Watch or iTunes Library Updater. Folder Watch is much faster on the adding files front, can be set to run in the background and includes a useful exclusion feature, however it’s slower at removing orphans. iTLU is better for this although for small numbers of files doing it manually after looking at a list of proposed removals generated by Folder Watch is probably faster still. iTLU can also be set to update iTunes when you've used 3rd party tools to change tag info.
    You may need to amend the list of file types these programs look for. My list includes:
    .mp3 .mp4 .m4a .m4b .m4p .m4v .mov .wav .aif .mid .ipa .ipg .ite .itlp .m4r .epub .pdf
    Note the last 7 types may not be recognised as already being in the library so should either be omitted from the search or you can add (at least for Folder Watch) individual exclusions for files you know are already in your library.

  • 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.

  • Is There Any Way to Stop iTunes from Deleting Album Covers?

    I have just spent hours organizing my music library, only to close iTunes for a moment and open it again to find half my album covers have been deleted. I know how to fix it, but you can imagine my frustration. "Get Album Artwork" seems to have stopped functioning as well, so thats manually fixing around 30 albums. I've seen people ask about this problem before. It's happened to me before but never to this extent. My main questions are:
    1. Why does this happen?
    2. How can I stop it from happening in the future?

    I guess there's no way to make it stop, judging by the lack of any response.
