Line through my album art

Hey,
Does anyone know why I get a line through my album art on my iTunes? it runs from the top left corner diagonally to the bottom right corner. It's on every album art picture...
Very annoying - can anyone shed some light on why this is happening?
Thanks!

Not sure, but I think it has to do with graphics settings. Make sure hardware acceleration is turned all the way up.

  • Line across my Album Art!

    Hi - is anyone else experiencing this problem: a diagonal hairline through all cover art, even new rips to iTunes for Windows? (kinda like the cross through a 'no smoking sign')
    Went to Apple store and they were dumbfounded. Hoping someone else can help with info about how to remove this 'line.'

    Oh well it can't hurt really to reinstall iTunes.
    But since we're on Winblows, yes, it's risky :P
    Hmm if it's a song from the iStore, I'm not sure, but normally you can right-click and select to delete automatically downloaded album artwork, if you have did so for the song. Then you can reselect the option to re-get it from the net.
    Hope it works

  • Diagonal lines on coverflow album art

    I recently upgraded my laptop to iTunes to 7.0 and everything is fine except that when using the "coverflow" to go through my library, every piece of album art (and the generic music note for when there is no artwork) has a very thin diagonal line through it. It also occurs when I'm looking through movies on the iTunes store. I downloaded it on my desktop and did not have this problem. Is there a way to fix? I tried to re-install the update, but it didn't fix the problem. Thanks.

    Nope. Coverflow simulates flipping through your album collection, so there should only be one piece of artwork per unique album in Coverflow. If you're seeing ten pieces of artwork, iTunes thinks "Tom's Album" is actually ten albums for some reason — perhaps the tags don't quite match?
    If you move those 700 songs into a playlist, and restore their original album names, iTunes will see them as different albums, and you'll be able to see all the cover art in Cover Flow.

  • Touch list album song in album art view

    I have gotten all of my albums to be catagorized by album artist and album name, except for one. The album artist shows fine(The Eagles) the second line in the album art view is a song (Busy being fabulous) this is the third song on the first disk. The the next line is the ablum name (Long Road Out of Eden (Disk 1). The listing under the album art looks like this:
    The Eagles
    Busy being fabulous
    Long Road Out Of Eden (Disk 1)
    How do I get the song name out of there? Disk two of the same album shows perfectly fine with no song name in between. All of my other albums show fine also. When I select all of the songs from the album and go to Get Info the song name shows no where.

    See my previous post on Grouping Tracks Into Albums, in particular the topics Use an album friendly view and One album, too many covers. In this case it sounds like you may need to enable the *Group Compilations* option and/or ensure the tracks are marked as Part of a Compilation.

  • Ipod Touch album art problems

    After I updated to the latest firmware 2.1 my album art started to lag as I scrolled through the album art. Before it was nice and smooth but whenever I scroll through the albums some albums appear to be missing but appear after I select them. At first I thought it was because i had to much music but i still noticed after all my music was deleted and only a few albums were present. How do I fix this? I tried reinstalling the firmware and restoring my itouch but nothing has changed.

    I'm having a problem with this as well. I bought a 2G iPod Touch for my gf and after putting in some of the albums from my library, certain albums are not showing the correct album. For instance, as I put in Nelly Furtado's album, it would end up showing Ne-Yo's album cover. I checked in iTunes to make sure the correct album was in there which it was. Is this some kind of bug?

  • CoverFlow album art has a black line through it?

    Anyone else have this problem? There's a thin black line running from the top left corner to the bottom right corner of all my album art. What's the deal? Can you somehow disable this?

    Good tip,
    Essentially the cover art uses the same items as playing video.
    This is a good article for generally troubleshooting, and includes updating drivers as a good step:

  • No album art in off-line mode with spotify app version 1.0.0.3251

    The iOS developer team is aware of the problems with album art.
    Hopefully they will be fixed in the next update. Please be patient until then. I know it's annoying to wait so long.

    I just upgraded my iphone spotify app to version 1.0.0.3251.  With this version album art is not shown when listening in off-line mode.  Extremely dissappointing, hoping this is just a bug and will be corrected soon.  If not, how can i go back the the previous version of the app?  My Iphone is a 3GS running the latest iOS release for that model which is 6.1.6.
    [Mod edit - Dec. 8, 2014]
    Hello everyone.  Spotify 2.1.0 has been released to the App Store as of this morning. We believe this issue to be fixed in this latest version. Please post here to let us know if the problem persists.

  • Before I was able to transfer Cover Art from on-line sources to albums that iTunes didn't have (even when many of these were purchased thru them!) now I can't. If it still possible how do I do so?

    Before, I was able to transfer Album Cover Art from on-line sources to albums that iTunes didn't have (even tho several were purchased thru them!) now I can't. If it is still possible, how do I do so?

    Hey Two Wolves,
    Thanks for the question. Yes, you can still add your own Album Artwork to music in iTunes:
    iTunes 11 for Windows: Add artwork to songs and other items
    http://support.apple.com/kb/PH12361
    Add artwork to music and video
    Do any of the following:
    - Add artwork to one item at a time:
              1. Select an item in your iTunes library and choose File > Get Info.
              2. Click Artwork and do one of the following:
                        - Click Add, select an image file, and click Open.
                        - Drag the art file to the artwork area.
              3. To add artwork to another item, click Next or Previous.
    - Add the same artwork to multiple items: Select the items, choose File > Get Info, click Info, and drag an image file to the Artwork area.
    - Retrieve album artwork for songs in your library from the iTunes Store: Control-click the songs and choose Get Album Artwork from the pop-up menu.
    Thanks,
    Matt M.

  • I have converted most of my windows media files to itunes. However I had to close it down about 3 quarters of the way through. It then processed the album art. How can I convert the files that it didn't finish doing the first time? thanks

    Hi there,
    hope you can help me. I helped my sister convert her window media files to itunes and set up an account for her. Unfortunately her computer is really slow and it was really late and we had to turn it off. It processed some of the album art for the files that it had converted. However, some songs were not converted and because there was quite a few left, I don't really know which ones did not get converted as I selected  all of the folders. How do I find out which ones I have left to convert and put the rest of the songs onto itunes for her please? Or are they on the itunes still as they showed up initially on itunes in the list to be converted.
    Thank you!

    You could convert them all again and then dedupe, or use a Windows search to reveal all the WMA files and then try to work out which still need to be converted. If you're lucky iTunes would have processed the imports in alphabetical path order so it would just be a matter of working out where it had got up to...

  • Distorted Album Art And Effects

    When using the CoverFlow view in iTunes 7, my albums have a diagonal line through them. Also, the titles and scroll bars are not transparent as they should be. I've run the DirectX Diagnostic Tool and everyting passed. Is there some other graphics setting that I'm missing? Screenshot included: brihar73.home.comcast.net/itunes.jpg

    I am also having the exact same issue with CoverFlow. In all other views, the album art looks fine.

  • ITunes 7.7 "fudged" iTMS album art

    As of iTunes 7.7, all of the album art I've been trying to download for several of my albums for probably over a year, but have only been available at extremely low resolution, are now downloading in full (600x600) size, but in every case, the images are clearly just blown up versions of the previous small graphics--in other words, they look terrible.
    This is definitely what's happening for me, but is anyone else experiencing the same thing?

    OK, here is a quick list. I love iTunes Store album art, so I keep on top of my artwork with a lot of enthusiasm
    Jane Siberry - Love Is Everything: The Jane Siberry Anthology
    (This one looks the worst, since the original artwork was far smaller than the usual "small" size)
    Jewel - Joy: A Holiday Collection
    Jewel - Spirit
    Lou Reed & John Cale - Songs For Drella
    Neil Young & Crazy Horse - Greendale
    Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds - No More Shall We Part
    Ride - Nowhere
    (The UK version, which contains the artist and album names on the cover, is available at 600x600, but not the US version, which is the one I have--this version has no text on the cover)
    Tom Waits - Foreign Affairs
    Tom Waits - Small Change
    Tori Amos - From The Choirgirl Hotel
    Tori Amos - Little Earthquakes
    (Interestingly, this artwork has never been available on the Finnish iTunes Store, though there are three entries for the album there under different genres. Logging in with my US account, I have always been able to download the "small" album art, but never a high-res version)
    Tori Amos - Strange Little Girls
    (This is not only the "small" version, but not the standard cover/the one I have, which looks like the picture in the lower right corner of the current iTunes Store art)
    Warren Zevon - Genius: The Best Of Warren Zevon
    (This one surprises me, since Warren Zevon has been featured in some of Apple's advertising)
    That is it for now. My library is in very good shape, thanks in huge part to the album artwork made available through the iTunes Store. Please let me know either on- or off-line if you need any further clarification on the items listed above. Thank you!

  • Video iPod Album Art Help

    Hi, I have a 60GB video iPod and it has the album art enabled and I see the little picture when it is playing music, but when I hit the middle button twice to see the big album art picture, it doesn't show up. All I see is a white box with a black line that makes the box where the big album art should show up.
    Does anyone know how to fix this?
    Thanks in advance for your help.

    I think this is a case of the bytesize of the album art. Some of my art was acting the same so I deleted the picture and replaced with a new that knew was smaller in bytesize. Helps, but sometimes it is slow to show and comes after halfway through the song.
    Regards,

  • Very Strange and nasty iTunes (not iPod) Album Art Problem

    Hi,
    I have the latest version of iTunes for Windows and I have never noticed this before on a previous version, but when I try to add album art to most (over 90%) of songs, the addition won't stay if I select another song.
    Even worse, if I try to add art while the song is playing, not only will the addition dissappear, the song corrupts in the process. It's as if the jpeg file is inserted into the audio data itself, as the song will grow by a number of seconds (the growth consists of skips and repeats.)
    I'm using iTunes with Windows Media Center. I have iTunes maintain my music folder, while Media Player / MCE monitors nothing. I also have a Media Center Extender setup (an Xbox360) that accesses my music as well (through the media player / MCE database.)
    None of my music files are tagged as read-only. I have a suspicion that the cause of the problem may be along similar lines (file permissions, access, etc.) but nothing I've
    tried works (including resetting all file permissions.)
    In addition, none of the iTunes Art Importers work. In using the most popular one (iTunes Art Importer,) the program crashes to a .NET/CLR debugger when I try to import art. Looking at the stack trace, it appears as if the error concerns DLL access.
    Any help on this issue would be greatly appreciated, as this is a pretty horrible bug (as it has ruined several songs.)
    Thanks,

    Use the SHIFT-Launch iTunes method to get iTunes waiting for a library. Stick the iPod in disk mode and connect to the computer. Browse *My Computer* and right-click on the drive for the iPod, click Properties, then click Tools. Under Error-checking, click *Check Now*. Under Check disk options, select *Scan for and attempt recovery of bad sectors* (Optional - takes ages but a good idea if you've reason to suspect physical damage). Click Start. Mac users should run *Disk Utility / Repair Disk* for the equivalent process. This should find and correct any errors in the logical & physical structures of your iPod's hard drive which may be causing the problem. When the process is complete disconnect the iPod and then reset it (hold Menu+Select ). Cancel the waiting iTunes dialog and then try to connect in the normal way.
    If that still doesn't work you could try Erase your iPod - The Super Fix for most iPod Problems. Basically a low level format of the iPod’s hard drive to get around whatever problems are stopping iTunes from working with it.
    Have you tried connecting the iPod to another computer to see if the issues is focused on the iPod or iTunes?

  • ITunes 10.0.7.21 shows a white box instead of artwork for most of my albums.  Many of these are albums I purchased on itunes.  Also when I hit get album art it deleted the artwork it already had form many albums and says it cant find it.

    OS is Windows 7
    I updated iTunes the other day and I decided to run "get album art" and instead of finding artwork, it made some of the artwork I already had show up as white squares, or disapear entirely.  The ones that are white squares show up under the get info, but not in itunes.  I did click in view for show al artwork, no luck.  Many of these albums I bought from iTunes.  The ones that the artwork was deleted some albums I can buy on iTunes, but already owned, and iTunes found the artwork before, but now cannot.  Some are albums that I spent many hours finding and adding the artwork myself.  I am very frustrated.  I cannot find the time to manually install artwork for thousands of songs.
    My work computer is Windows 8, so I really don't want to hear windows vs OSX argument.  My company won't switch to mac because you like it better, so I just need a solution to my issue.  iTunes it has always worked better for me on my work PC than my macBook, I dont know why, but I don't take two laptops with me when I travel so I have my iTunes library on the PC that has to come with me.  This is the first time an update has screwed things up for me.

    Well my first guess was wrong. The line that failed is the one that writes out the image to disk. I've not revisited the code for that script for ages, but it seems I did add in an extra test for missing files a little while later, then forgot to upload the change. I can reproduce the error message if I deliberately rename a file to confuse iTunes so that seems the most likely reason for your problem with the script. I've uploaded a new build of CreateFolderArt which should work better.
    See FindTracks for a tool to repair broken links. You should probably get that issue fixed first.
    I know what SPSS stands for but that is all I know about it.

  • How can I display all album art of my library in iTunes

    All my music tracks in my library contain the respective album art within their ID3-tags and it is perfectly displayed in the lower left corner window when I select or play a track.
    What I really would like to do is to browse through my library using the album art, not the text-based endless lists (title, album, interpret, genre etc.), then click on a cover, see the tracks and select one.
    Is there a feature in iTunes already that can do that or a plug-in somewhere in the market ? (I do not need a tool that collects album art like eyejamz, but a tool to display the art I already have)
    Thanks a lot for any feedback

    Bakergirl,
    You can use iTunes to remove the beginning or end of a song (or both) by setting the Start and Stop times. 
    But to remove a section from the middle and keep the rest, you will need an audio editor such as Audacity.
