ITunes U Collection artwork not displaying?

I was recently troubleshooting an issue where some of our iTunes U Collection's artwork were not displaying correctly,  represented by the generic iTunes U thumbnail. I then discovered the GIF image format is no longer supported http://itunes.apple.com/WebObjects/DZR.woa/wa/viewSeeAll?frId=13264121237549&id= 421324250&id=421324250 so I replaced the GIF formatted artwork with PNG formatted artwork for 68 Collections and Episodes, updated the feeds, waited a week to discover all have been resolved except two Collections still displaying the generic iTunes U artwork http://itunes.apple.com/WebObjects/DZR.woa/wa/viewSeeAll?frId=13264121237549&id= 421324250&id=421324250.
The two Collections in question are:
• Faculty of Engineering and Industrial Sciences - http://itunes.apple.com/au/itunes-u/faculty-engineering-industrial/id421324755 feed from RSS http://www.commons.swinburne.edu.au/feeds/podcast_ID34.xml
• Faculty of Design - http://itunes.apple.com/au/itunes-u/faculty-of-design/id421324727 feed from RSS http://www.commons.swinburne.edu.au/feeds/podcast_ID37.xml
I can see from the iTunes U Public Site Manager the questionable Collections are using the updated PNG file now. I can also see this issue and the like has been raised in the iTunes U - Apple Support Communities
https://discussions.apple.com/message/13386384#13386384
https://discussions.apple.com/message/12457068#12457068
but I see no solutions or recent comments.
I have now found some Episodes associated to the above two Collections with JPG formatted artwork not displaying correctly via iTunes U on iOS?
Anyone got any suggestions to resolve these issues?

Thank you for your answer. But you know what; I think that the artwork is embeded with every iTunes collection, otherwise it wouldn't be shown at the iTunes store.
I think the problem is with how iTunes handles downloaded collections. Apple has to do some work on iTunes, now that they are promoting iTunes U.

  • ITunes 7 Errors/Glitches and Album Artwork Not Displaying on iPod

    Looks like a lot of people are having problems with the new iTunes 7. After downloading iTunes7 and the new ipod updater, and having iTunes go and get the album artwork I was missing, some of the album artwork that displayed in iTunes would not display on my iPod (Gen 5). Very weird. I then tried to follow the suggestions on this board to deselect the "display album art on ipod" (in the Music tab of iPod preferences) so that I could then reselect and resynch (which supposed to fix the problem). It was very difficult to achieve this, as iTunes repeatedly had problems recognizing my ipod (even though it was sitting there in the source list). Managed to somehow get it to work, only to discover that while some missing album artwork had been added to ipod and properly displayed, others that had been there before were now gone (but were fine in iTunes)!!! And trying to repeat the deselect/reselect steps only resulted in more error messages ("The Settings were not saved for the iPod ___ because it could not be found." and "iPod update failed. disconnect and reconnect, then try again.")
    I happen to have Apple Care for my iPod. Was on phone for ONE HOUR with rep who, while friendly, had no idea what was going on.
    Okay Apple, I hope you're reading this, PLEASE FIX THE BUGS. I thought I escaped the problems of buggy software releases when I switched from Microsoft to Apple.

    UPDATE on previous posting:
    Okay, with help of previously mentioned Apple rep, I uninstalled and reinstalled iTunes 7 AND restored my iPod G5. After resynching my 5000+ songs, ALL the album artwork not displaying per previous posting is now displaying. HOWEVER (and Apple employees please take note here), when I tried to change the iPod settings AT ALL (e.g., deselect Synch Movies, TV Shows, Games, etc.) and then select APPLY, same problem!! So it appears this is where the problem lies. Somehow making any changes to these options and then hitting Apply causes the error ("...iPod could not be found" etc.) My workaround (since I am not intending to use iPod for movies or TV shows or games) is to change the Main Menu listings in Settings so I don't have to see them.
    APPLE: PLEASE STUDY AND FIX! Thank you....

  • I purchased a movie via Itunes and it does not display as a purchased item on my Apple TV yet A TV show I bought does.

    I purchased a movie via Itunes and it does not display as a purchased item on my Apple TV yet A TV show I bought does. The only way I can view it is if I turn on home sharing and the movie is downloaded to my PC. Is this normal?

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    Perfectly normal, purchased items only applies to TV shows, the studios have not licensed movies for redownloading.

  • Updating Album Art, when iTunes says "Album Artwork Not Modifiable"

    How can I go about updating or adding album art when the Artwork area at the lower left corner of iTunes says, "Album Artwork Not Modifiable"? Every effort to add the artwork from iTunes has failed. When I paste the album photo from another site, it doesn't save.

    I figured this out. I found that the folder and files only had "read" privileges and not "read & write" privileges. I did the following:
    1. In finder I right clicked the parent folder for iTunes and selected "Get Info".
    2. Selected my user and changed the rights to "read & write".
    3. This step is the most important. With my user still selected in blue, you click on the options "cog wheel" below the users, at the bottom. Select, "Apply to the enclosed items". It may ask you again if you are sure, say "yes". By doing this you will apply your users "read & write" privileges to all folders and files underneath your iTunes folder.
    This worked for me and I wish you the best!

  • TS3297 ITunes for IOS does not display any content in the iTunes store

    iTunes for IOS does not display any content in any section (other than Genius tab).
    NB: I am signed in with my Apple ID & have an Internet connection.
    On selecting say the "Music" tab the display briefly say's "Loading ...", but nothing displays, just a white screen.
    I have tried signing out of iTunes & re-setting the iPad, but this does not fix the problem.

  • All itunes artwork not displaying

    Hi Everyone, recently the external drive where my itunes library resides was not connected.  Without realising i started itunes which could then obviously not locate the media.
    Since then my album artwork does not display.
    However if i highlight a track or movie and "get info" the artwork returns.  This is true for every file.  Trouble is it seems i would have to do this for every file!
    Any tips?
    Thank you

    This seems to be a common problem with many solutions dating back years online.  Trouble is I want a solution that is valid today with the latest itunes build.
    Im reluctant to try scripts I find online as I've spent so long building up my library!
    Hope someone will shed some light on this.
    Thanks,
                   Jonnie

  • Itunes album artwork not displayed

    I have just started using itunes and purchased my fist album which is a compilation. The album artwork is not displayed, I have searched the forum and checked that the get artwork is visible in the get info option, which it is and all the album details are correct.
    Any advice?
    Thanks in advance.

    Not sure if I have the same problem or not. My album art work shows up fine on the i-pod and in the small "now playing" window on the lower left of my pc but the main view window shows that "Itunes is unabke to browse album covers on this computer". I was always able to view this for as long as I have had the i-pod in the past before but now cant. On my PC (I tunes)the "Cover flow view" is selected and no matter what preference is selected the same message comes up and can not see album art work anymore on main window above song list.

  • Album artwork not displaying on iPhone 5 iOS 6.0.2

    I recently took the plunge from Android and got myself an iPhone 5. One thing that's driving me nuts is album artwork in my music library. I have two problems
    not all albums will display artwork on the phone despite being present in iTunes and WMP/Media Monkey.
    when artwork is displayed on phone, when music is playing the wrong artwork is then displayed.
    I've tried different ways of synching, auto and manual. I have also tried replacing the artwork in 'Get Info' (time-consuming and tedious when artwork is already there). Sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn't. Frustratingly, if I am successful one day, the next time I synch I am back to square one with no artwork.
    I wouldn't use iTunes if I didn't have to...I had none of these issues with Android/Creative.
    I am using a Windows 7 laptop, iPhone 5, IOS 6.0.2, iTunes for Windows 11.0.1.12. The issue has been present since day one getting this phone.
    Does anyone have any tips, ideas or similar experience of this issue?

    You could try activating it while connected to a different wifi network.  You could also see if your router has a firmware update available and changing your router's settings to use Google's public DNS to see if that helps (see https://developers.google.com/speed/public-dns/docs/using).

  • Artwork not displaying

    Artwork is not always displayed when "Now Playing" selected in artwork pane. The words "Album Artwork Not Modifiable" instead appear in the artwork pane. The problem seems to be restricted to AIFF songs. Artwork of AAC encoded songs seems not to be effected. This problem did not occur previously and I wonder if it has only occurred since upgrading to iTunes 5.0.1.

    I am experiencing the exact same behavior. "Selected Song" artwork displays. When I toggle to "Now Playing" mode I get the "Album Artwork Not Modifiable" message. Also specific to AIFF, running iTunes 5.0.1 (4). Any work arounds? I am not interested in converting my library to AAC/MP3 as my audio snobbery restricts me to AIFF.

  • ITunes U courses artwork not being downloaded

    Hi;
    I watch lots of iTunes U courses; artworks for courses I download are usually not included. Is there anyway of getting their artwork?
    Thank you.

  • Album artwork not displaying for all albums in Coverflow view

    Very interesting problem I'm having. All of my music has album artwork assigned to it and can clearly be seen in the preview pane at the bottom left of the iTunes window. However, not all the albums show up in the new Coverflow feature in iTunes 7. I've been trying to figure out what might be different about these images that would cause them to not show up. Also, the albums that don't show up in Coverflow view don't show up on my iPod nano either; all the other ones are fine though. Any ideas?

    I'm experiencing the same. It is funny, I can definitely not see something the displayed (or not displayed) graphics have in common. Some were fetched from the iTS, some bought from iTS, some fetched from other locations ...
    At first I thought that it might be because of my old but brave little iBook, but if you see the same on an G4, this is probably not the reason.
    My library is on an external hard drive connected via FireWire, and it is quite big (almost 15,000 tracks).
    Any help is appreciated

  • Movie artwork not displaying on mobile devices

    May be obvious, but have you checked the box in iPod options in iTunes that says "Display Album Artwork"?
    I am having a similar problem, but about half of my artwork will show up on my iPod (it seems to be random which artwork will transfer). When it is plugged into iTunes, all of the artwork is there. I have tried deleting and re-adding artwork to songs with no luck. My iPod is set to "Manual Update", and the check box for album art is checked in iTunes. Also, I used to have my iPod on automatic update, but since I have switched to manual at least some of the artwork added since then is viewable on the iPod, so I don't think it is the setting that is the problem. Any suggestions?

  • Adobe Bridge CC Smart Collections are not displaying all images in the folder

    I'm having an issue with Bridge CC were I setup a smart collection to monitor my new photos. The folder contains over 300 photos, but is only displaying 160. The only condition I set is to have a minium file size of 10kb, so it should bring in all files since most are over 4mb. At first I thought it was a problem with the files themselves (permissions or something) but if I open the folder in bridge it easily displays all of the images easily. Any ideas?

    I'm having an issue with Bridge CC were I setup a smart collection to monitor my new photos.
    You might want to describe this workflow a bit more. Do you create this from an existing folder or are you adding new photo's?
    A Smart Collection does not refreshes it self automatically. You either have to use the edit icon top right of the content panel to save again or deselect and select the collection itself to let it refresh the content.

  • ITunes 7.1.1 not displaying correctly

    Having recently upgraded from 7.0.1 to 7.1.1, the interface is not displaying properly. The icons have disappeared down the left side (for music, movies, podcasts, playlists etc). But my main problem is that the scroll bars have also vanished - which has made iTunes useless to me.
    Other strange behavior is that in the store window the images are replaced by grey broken chain symbols.
    I have tried dumping the preferences and files from Receipts and re-installing but the problem is still there. Have also tried re-installing 7.0.1 and that crashes on opening.
    I've noticed that on installing both versions the installer progress bar turns grey about a third of the way through the process.
    I have not had any problems previously with updates and I am at a loss as to where to go from here.
    Any advice?
