Itunes won't display cover art correctly

When I view my music in the album list, the cover art for songs will show up very sporadically, despite displaying fine in the grid and cover flow formats. They also show up when I select "Get Info" as part of the information and in the cover section. The cover art is also tied to the music file itself.
Is there any way to fix this? Album list is my preferred way to view my music, but the lack of cover art is annoying. Plus, I don't want to sync my ipod until it's fixed because I don't want to lose the cover art stored there.
I have iTunes 10.0.1.22, but I was having the problem in earlier versions as well.

Try itunes menu > view > Always Show Artwork when you're in album list view.
The default is off, which saves screen real estate when there's a bunch of singles.

  • ITunes won't retrieve cover art after CD import

    I am using iTunes 8.2 (current version). I have been using iTunes for years. Usually, once iTunes finishes importing my CD, it says it it getting the album artwork and poof it appears. Now after importing a CD, nothing happens. The only preference I can find that seems to address this is under "Store" and is a check box, stating "Automatically download missing album artwork." "Album artwork for songs which you imported into iTunes will be downloaded." That box is checked.
    Is there something in the new version that disabled getting album artwork for CDs I am importing? Is there a setting I overlooked?

    You transfer the purchases to the computer you use to sync the iPhone.  You can use a thumb drive or an external HD, etc.  Read this: iTunes for Mac - How to copy purchases between computers:  http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1373

  • Itunes won't display after Yosemite updated to 10.10.1.  iTunes will play but no display.

    My Mac just updated to 10.10.1.  Now iTunes won't display on screen.  I can play songs by hitting the play key.  If as I am typing this I click on the iTunes icon the tool bar does not show up at top for iTunes, but the tool bar will show up if I shut down safari.  How do I get my iTunes app back?

    OPPS!!  Figured it out still had second monitor cord in, and thus was it displaying on the monitor that wasn't on.  Duh  

  • How do I display cover art in Songs view?

    I like how the other views look, but as far as I can tell they do not automatically continue to the next album/artist when the current finishes. (Artists => All Artists almost works, but when I press cmd-L it refines to the current artist which is not what I like.) So Songs view has the behavior I like, but is missing cover art.
    Is it possible to display cover art in Songs view?

    As a workaround, I created a smart playlist that includes all my music in the playlists view and then in that view I can show the artwork. Select: view/artist list.
    Now I have two sidebars (the playlists, and artists)! Progress though, thanks.
    EDIT: Whoops, this is not any better than the Artists view AFAIK (cmd-L still refines the view to just the current artist).

  • I have songs on my iPhone 5 that have been purchased through iTunes that isn't displaying cover art. Please help!

    I have a few songs, quite a few actually, that have been purchased through iTunes and they aren't displaying the cover art on my iPhone. They have previously, but now for some reason it has stopped. Only on a few.
    Can anyone help me?
    I have the latest version of iTunes and I'm using a PC with Windows 7.

    Hello kerrisapatricia,
    It sounds like you have a couple of songs you want to delete from your iPhone. This article should help with that:
    How to delete content you've downloaded from the iTunes Store, App Store, iBooks Store, or Mac App Store
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5772
    To delete a song:
    Tap the Music app.
    Tap the Songs category.
    Swipe left to right over the song you want to delete.
    Tap Delete.
    If you see a cloud icon next to them right now, or after you delete them you can hide them by turning off Show all Music in your settings here:
    Tap Settings > Music

  • REMOTE app on iPhone does not display Cover Art

    I use the Apple REMOTE App on my iPhone to control my iTunes music library on a Mac. The REMOTE App controls the iTunes playback properly. However, the Cover Art for each song does not display on the "song" screen - showing the song currently playing. Across my iPhone screen (where the Cover Art should appear) are the words containing album of the song). The name of the song and album correctly appear at the top of the screen.
    What is interesting is that when I hit the back arrow (left side top on song screen), all of the Cover Art appears in small thumbnails. The Cover Art also appears in other displays (for example, the currently-playing Album) using REMOTE on my iPhone. This means that the cover art is being transmitted to my iPhone - HOWEVER IT DOES NOT DISPLAY ON THE SONG SCREEN.
    Can anyone kindly help me resolve this - because I would really like the Cover Art to display properly on the song screen.  Thank you.  Dale

    Nezmo, This is really unbelievable.  I have suffered from the issue I described for SEVERAL YEARS.  Today, for some reason I decided to make this post on the Apple discussion board.  And, today the issue was fixed by Apple.  I just downloaded the update to the REMOTE app and the cover art now shows beautifully on my iPhone 6 plus.  Thanks.  Dale

  • My iTunes won't display the artwork

    My iTunes on a jukebox setting won't display the artwork. It currently has an error message of "iTunes is unable to browse album covers on this computer".
    It was working fine the other day. I have updated it version when I received the error message but still nothing.
    However when i select the middle view option, it shows the artwork.
    Please help. The black screen is annoying!

    ....it's my cover flow view that is not working!!!!!!

  • Won't display album art

    i've pasted several album art covers to my albums in itunes. the album covers show when i play them in itunes, but not on my ipod. i've tried using small images and large images, but they still won't display. the show album art option is also checked in ipod options. what should i do to get them to show on my ipod?

    Connect your iPod, and uncheck the "Show album art..." option. Disconnect your iPod. Connect it again, and check the option. Disconnect it. Does it show the album art now?

  • Itunes won't display my episode descriptions

    Hey,
    I'm hoping someone can help me out. I'm pretty new at this. I just submitted my first podcast to itunes and the listing won't display me episode descriptions. Would someone be so kind as to check my RSS file?
    The URL of the RSS file is
    www.indigoimp.com/poweredbysatan/pbscomedypodcast.xml
    The itunes listing is
    http://phobos.apple.com/WebObjects/MZStore.woa/wa/viewPodcast?id=123048064&s=143 441
    and the line that may be giving me trouble (but which looks ok to me) is..
    <itunes:summary>All a man really needs in life is sex, beef, sleep, and a big stick to wack things with. In this epsiode the artist explains why beautiiful women must bring beef. Episode includes his beloved song "You Must Give Me Beef"</itunes:summary>
    Thanks in advance!

    Chemholio, welcome to the discussions!
    Your <itunes:summary> tag looks fine, and if it's in the <channel> tag, will appear as the podcast description.
    If it's in the <item> tag, it will display when someone clicks the circled "i". That's where you have it.
    If you want it to appear under the "Description" column for episodes, then you must use the <itunes:subtitle> tag.
    Check the example at

    Hope this is helpful.

  • Won't display Album Art while playing music and the screen is Locked

  • ITunes Won't Display (or Play) my Music

    I just booted up iTunes on a brand new MacBook running Yosemite 10.10, with iTunes 12.0.0.140.
    When I change the "Advanced" Preferences to point to the folder on my external drive, it has no effect whatsoever - Apple iTunes does not display my playlists and is apparently unable to find my music and media.  Clicking the annoying "Scan for Media" button also does nothing (and gives no reason as to WHY it does nothing - excellence in software design. LOL!)
    I have tried quitting iTunes and restarting.  I have also tried rebooting the laptop (which is absurd, but one thread said this was necessary? Wow...)
    What the is the deal with this?  What "magic secret sauce" do I need to apply to get iTunes to work?  This is a major P.I.T.A.

    hi - I can't log into my old ID because the email account does not exist (why I changed my apple ID to begin with). I sent an email to Apple and they responded with basically the same advice - asking for my old ID information. I have only one ACCOUNT but two (old and new) ID's that I have purchased music under. However, when Itunes asks me to authorize my music, it will not play the songs after I have authorized them using both IDs (ie changing back to the old id name does nothing). Some of the songs that won't play were bought using both ID names - in other words, I can only play what was bought really recently, not just what was bought with the new ID.
    also - the songs that will not play do not appear under my "purchase history" for my account.
    Sorry if this does not make sense. I would really like to be able to play the 100+ songs that I have purchased in the past and can no longer access!
    Thanks

  • Firefox 3.6.2 won't display the CSS correctly in VBulletin 4.1. Safari, Explorer and Firefox 4 beta work fine!

    My upgraded site: http://www.thesabrehood.org/thehood/forum/ has CSS that displays fine with Safari and IE and the new Firefox Beta 4... but it won't display with the latest upgrade of FF3.6x. Obviously you fixed some code in V4 beta.. how about fixing 3.6x while you're at it!!!!

    I also have this problem and it just started in the last week or so. It seems to be dependent on my home network and the problem only exists with firefox. I have used chrome and IE8 with no issues. I can verify tomorrow that it only exists in my network but one thing I was able to test is that the problem exists even on my linux boot. I am totally dumbfounded with this problem and I can't find anything that will allow the gmail page to load. All other pages I have tried load fine, all be it a little slower than normal but they load. If anyone knows of a difference between firefox and all other browsers on how it goes through the router I would appreciate the info cause I don't know of any differences.
