Yes but there's no point doing it here. As the Terms of Use make quite clear this is a User to User forum. It's Users like you talking to other Users. It's not a channel to communicate with Apple.

When will Apple resolve the lost album artwork saga for Mac/Windows Users?

Hello,
I'm running Windows XP, although this problem appears to be both OS- and platform-independent. I've read several forums within and outside the Apple Support site that describe issues around lost album artwork.
In a nutshell, iTunes loses artwork that was manually obtained/added (and also iTunes-downloaded). I know I can right-click lost albums for downloaded music, but this is annoying because I have thousands of albums (or single songs from albums) and I don't want to constantly reload the information. It's even more aggravating because a large portion of my music collection consists of rare albums, and it's not unusual for me to spend significant time finding a single cover.
I've tried some tips described in the forums, but it really comes down to users asking: Can Apple please acknowledge that this is a broad v8.x.x issue and commit to resolving it in an official release?
Artwork coverflow-style viewing is a huge part of the music experience to me. I LOVE iTunes, but not if using it means that I'll constantly be frustrated and worried about data loss. I'm loyal to iTunes and don't want to leave, but I'm already looking at other players.
Apple - We're begging you. Can you please fix this?
Thanks

Hello ! This is a user chat board - you can provide feedback to Apple via itunes menu > Help > Provide iTunes Feedback.
My artwork doesn't get lost, so I wonder what is different on your PC? I've embedded the artwork in the MP3 tags, and they are ID3 v2.3.
You might check your Windows Media Player settings. The default settings get info from the internet and can change things without you ever 'running' WMP. Then the next time you look at a file in iTunes, it is changed - so it seems iTunes did it.
It's in 3 places in WMP - general, privacy, and library tabs.
If you are talking about itunes store downloaded artwork going missing, that's a different matter. I think not, since you mentioned rare albums - presumably not sold in iTS, so therefore not downloaded from iTS.

Most of my album artwork is missing after updating to iOS 5

I just updated my iPod Touch 4G to iOS 5 and now all my album artwork is missing. What should I do?
Is there a way to get back the album art in my iPod?
Can Apple fix this problem?

Have a similar situation; album art was all there (added the correct way in iTunes) and I Manually Sync my 4G Touch. After the iOS5 update, I ‘Dragged & Dropped’ one Smart-Playlist to the Touch and then lost 80% of the Album Art on the Touch. What really is upsetting, the Art is there. Dock the iPod and iTunes show’s the Art listed and within ‘Get Info’ for the iPod.
This need to STOP, more then 10 years of using iPod without this problem and in the last two months had to reload 3-times already since getting the 4G Touch; great loss of time with a 64G. Add a Warning! or something. Maybe it’s an issue with iTunes 10.5.0.142, OS-Win-7?
UPDATE: for this scenario, I think the Art got corrupted by older Art listed in iTunes. When I fixed the 1st occurrence of missing Art, I only fixed what was on the iPod to save time (only 30% bad) and then when I ‘Sync’ed’ a Playlist from iTunes, 80% of Art then got corrupted. There are trade-off’s to both Auto and Manual Syncing. Like I said; “a Warning! would be nice” OR how about “Asking”; “Do You Wish To Overwrite The Existing Art?”

Lost album artwork from purchased music when I updated my iPhone software

I recently updated my iPhone 3G software and when I did, I lost the album artwork to all the music I had purchased on my iPhone. I searched for a few fixes, it helped a bit, but now I've got the wrong artwork showing up on the wrong songs. Any advice on help to restore the artwork that was lost and to find and add artowrk that was never there to begin with. Any trick on what to do to prevent this from happening in the future.
Thanks.

The same thing happened to me last night after updating my iphone4. Only the artwork for items purchased on my iphone lost thier artwork. The artwork is in itunes but not on the phone. Syncing does not help.
Thanks in advance to whomever knows the solution.

Lost Album Artwork

Does anyone know how to recover album artwork that was lost during an upgrade? They are still missing even when I try to retrieve it from the pull-down menu which always used to work.

Heey,
no need to downgrade your ipod's software.
The problem is in iTunes - it can not build successfully the artwork database on the iPod device.
What you need to do is:
1) go to
http://www.redchairsoftware.com/anapod/screens.php
and download the trial version of Anapod Explorer
2) Install it. On the options page enable artworks on your ipod, than find a button named "Rebuild Artwork database" or something like that and click it. In 20 seconds your artworks will be working again
3) Complain to Apple !!!
iTunes for windows is a ******** software !
I don't know about the mac os version, but since you are complaining about broken artworks it seems it is not working as well under mac os !
Ok, everybody makes mistakes, but the problem is that apple are not confessing they make mistakes because they are soooo great ...
I am never again going to use itunes

Album artwork not showing after download

I loaded CDs onto my ipad using my home computer. On the Ipad, the album artwork aren't there. The only one that shows up is an album I purchased from amazon.com. What am I doing wrong?

Probably nothing. This is a known issue with the music app that will hopefully be addressed in iOS 6. Actually, some of the artwork may show up on your next synch.

Lost album artwork on my ipad2 how do I recover it?

Need help to recover on my IPad2 lost album art work?

Restoring your phone to an earlier backup will replace the data on your phone with the data from the earlier backup, so you will lose any more recent data. Your only other option would be to purchase third party software that can read and selectively extract information from your earlier backup file, such as iPhone Backup Extractor.

The separate search bar was very very useful. Some of us, as can be seen from these discussion forums
find it highly desireable
Apple Techs' if you read this here is my plea
PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE, Put the tool back.
Thanks

Yes, it confuses a handful of you. Just not the other 3 million plus users who downloaded it. Maybe tell Apple instead of yelling at we other users.

Album artwork went missing but song details were updated

need help to know what's the reason why a certain album artwork went missing when you have updated them before manually, via posting a jpg file and dragging them on to the artwork space.
what i noticed whenever this happens all the other details such as song number and disc# and even the songwriters have been updated.
also on the comment space displays something like this:
0000047A 00000026 00005D13 00001BBB 00051243 0004071F 000080CF 00007EE2 0002DA82 00009478
i am not sure what these codes are but it gets so annoying that you get to update the artwork everytime it goes missing.
on the preference tab i unchecked 'automatically download missing artwork' but still something like connecting to internet automaticaly updates it.
this happens to some albums only not all. i wonder if someone can explain and give solutions that it will not update any existing artowrk i have on itunes. thanks.

am i the only one who's only having this problem? why is anybody not helping? thanks to answering my question.

Issue with Album Artwork in iTunes 11.0.5.5 Update

Recently, I have imported an Audio CD into iTunes. However, I do not seem to be able to add an album artwork for it.
I would like to know how I can put in the artwork. Thanks.
Note:
I imported the Audio CD with .wav format. (Could that be a factor?)

Send you feedback to Apple.
If you want it back....downgrade to 10.7 until fixed!
Uninstall 11
Install 10.7 (can be found if you look!)
Then copy last back up of your itl file
From: Users\JoeBloggs\Music\iTunes\Previous iTunes Libraries
To Users\JoeBloggs\Music\iTunes
Rename file as: iTunes Library.itl
Then run iTunes
Search uTube for help.

Lost sound on my Ipad after ios 6 update....

Okay, I upgraded my Ipad to the ios version. I've lost my sound. The sliding bar for the sound shows up, but there's no "button" to slide back and forth...

Have you tried restarting or resetting your iPad?
Restart: Press On/Off button until the Slide to Power Off slider appears, select Slide to Power Off and, after the iPad shuts down, then press the On/Off button until the Apple logo appears.
Reset: Press the Home and On/Off buttons at the same time and hold them until the Apple logo appears (about 10 seconds). Ignore the "Slide to power off".

Lost albums and triple items after archive & install

Hopefully, I can write this so it is understandable.
First of all, I had a similar problem to some I have read here when I transferred my photos from my old G4 to my new imac, I found I had lots of those nasty grey boxes with the question marks. I did find that the originals were there, just in another roll but it happened to many different photos with no apparent connection. But.....I recently had a problem with my new imac and we had to do an archive and install...
Well, now I no longer have the grey boxes...(at least I don't think so) but I lost all my albums and I now have 30,500 items when I originally had only 10,000. (that is why I am not sure about the grey boxes, because I have not been able to open every photo)
It appears that I have all the originals, the modified, and the thumbnails showing up in the main library. I have iphoto library manager and when I open the only other library thru photo manager, it retained the albums in that one!!!
My concern is that I don't want to go in and start deleting photos and somehow screw up the whole library. I can always redo the albums, that is not the biggest problem. But 30,500 items to go through???? Not sure what to do next.
I hope this makes sense....
Thanks Judy

Hi Jamiemojo!
" ...why won't my system allow me to change the name of my main user account, the one with that house icon?"
Although not recommended, it can be changed, but as you have seen, there are consequences if not done correctly.
Recover from renaming your Home folder
Mac OS X 10.3: Return to Default Desktop, Apparent "Loss" of Home Directory

Here is Apple's method How to change user short name or home directory name.

Good Luck!

Lost Notes App on iPad after failed backup and reset, how do i find them?

I have lost very important notes from my Notes App on my iPad2 after a failed backup and reset. How do I find my lost notes? They do not appear to be backed up in my iCloud account or Gmail account.

This happened to me too but it was really all there. Go to your calendar, click on calendar in the upper left hand corner, click on show all calendars, click done in the right upper corner. Everything should show up!!!
I was super thrilled. Hope this works for you!!
