Missing album art in iTunes Match

Ever since I joined iTunes Match album art is missing from several albums. I have read that this is a glitch in iTunes Match, but after spending a lot of time carefully curating a very large music collection (including scanning in art work for the albums that I had purchased outside of iTunes matching the size of the art work for albums purchased in iTunes), this is frustrating enough that I will not renew my iTunes Match subscription next year if it isn't fixed. Does anyone know if there is a fix for this yet? I appreciate any feedback. Thanks in advance.

I solved the problem selecting all the songs of an album, getting information pannel (command i) and dropping a new artwork found on Google.
Choose an artwork smaller than 1000x1000.
Thats it.

  • My iPod 4G, after reset and iOS 6 install, now has only some album art after syncing music. Even music directly downloaded from iTunes is missing album art. (I'm using iTunes 11.0.1 on Windows Vista)

    My iPod 4G, after a reset and iOS6 install, after I recopied and synced music, is missing most album art. Even songs directly downloaded from iTunes are missing album art. I'm using iTunes 11.0.1 on Windows Vista. My iPod isn't full. Whenever I go to "On This iPod" and add album art and sync, nothing happens. Please help :/

    Try:
    - Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
    Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Unsync all music and resync
    - Reset all settings
    Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
    All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
    - Restore from backup. See:       
    iOS: How to back up           
    - Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.

  • Grayed out, unplayable songs and missing album art on iPhone after 5.1 update with iTunes 10.6

    I have been having these problems on my iPhone since the above updates. First, the grayed out songs:  I have my iTunes account set to sync over the air with wifi. I charge my iPhone overnight, but sometimes when I unplug the iPhone in the morning, a great majority of the songs get grayed out and unplayable.  I can see the songs listed, but they don't play. I then have to sync the iPhone on my iMac in iTunes to enable all the grayed out songs to be re-copied to the iPhone.  As if that isn't inconvenient enough, I now am encountering missing album art for every song on my iPhone.  All the album art exists in my iTunes account on my iMac, but I can't get the album art to appear on my iPhone. This literally happened overnight one day ago and I can't figure out how to get the album art back.  I do have sufficient storage space on my iPhone, so that possible explanation is eliminated.
    Re: the grayed out songs: what is causing this and is there any way to avoid it?
    Re: the missing album art: again, what is causing it and how can I restore the art to my iPhone?

    Unfortunately, the only solution to this problem was to restore my iPhone.  Many hours later, the problem was resolved, but for how long?

  • ITunes 7: Getting missing album art takes several passes...

    Not sure why this would be, but I'm finding that capturing all my missing album art is taking several attempts. Each time I run "Get Album Art" it picks up a few more albums.
    This is more of an observation than a complaint.

    Has anyone had the problem where iTunes displays the new full resolution album artwork, but iPod doesn't even after upload?

  • Update embedded Album Art from iTunes Store?

    Missing Album Art is automatically added to my iTunes library. Excellent!
    But I have a large number of albums/songs with embedded album art of low quality (200x200). Is there a way to update these without having to manually delete the old Album Art for each song individually?
    Is there a way to embed the album art from iTunes into the mp3-files instead of storing them externally (in the iTunes Album Art directory?) Probably not........

    Is there a way to update these without having to manually delete the old Album Art for each song individually?
    Well, you don't have to do it individually -- you can select all the songs for which you want to delete, right-click and select "Get Info", then check the Artwork box, then click OK. This will delete all the artwork for those songs (permanently!)
    Is there a way to embed the album art from iTunes into the mp3-files instead of storing them externally (in the iTunes Album Art directory?)
    I have a script to do just that. You have to download it first (say, to your Desktop)
    http://teridon.googlepages.com/itunesinsertartwork.vbs
    Then you have to run it using the Command Prompt:
    1) Bring up a command prompt (Start..All Programs..Accessories..Command Prompt)
    2) Enter these commands:<pre>cd Desktop
    cscript itunesinsertartwork.vbs</pre>
    3) Select the playlist (or select the whole Library with "1") which contains the songs for which you want to embed the artwork.
    NOTE:Embedding artwork will cause your files to take up more hard drive space because for downloaded artwork iTunes only needs one copy. Embedding the artwork makes a copy of the artwork for every song with that artwork. Artwork files from the iTMS are typically 400-500 KB each.

  • Extract Album art from iTunes?

    is it possible to extract and backup the album art in iTunes?
    I have a lot that I have had to put in manually and I would like to be able to save it..
    Also it looks like some tracks in some albums, for some reason, never had art loaded to the, although the rest of the album is fine. I need to extract the art from one track on theses albums and put it back in the track with missing artwork

    Ok, thanks
    Finally managed to work out where and how to copy the artwork. Since there was no right click option when selecting artwork in an albums Get Info page, I did not think about using CMD C or CMD V. It wont copy from Album Get Info, but will from the individual tracks
    I see you can also copy/paste using the Edit drop down in the menu bar, but for me that is a pain as I have three screens and I had been working with the iTunes Windows in the third screen....the first screen being the primary screen with the menu bar. Bloody stupid having only one menu bar when you have multiple screens.
    Thanks for your help

  • Album art does not match artist

    About 50% of the album art does not match the artist titles on the iPod. In iTunes they are fine. I've reset and resynced. Any ideas?
    thanks

    If your iPod is set to update automatically then try this:
    iTunes 6
    1. Connect your iPod
    2. Disable "Show Album art" in iTunes>Edit>Preferences>iPod.
    3. Syncronise the iPod with iTunes. (Disconnecting and then reconnecting your iPod will do the trick)
    4. Re-enable "Show Album Art" in iTunes>Edit>Preferences>iPod.
    5. Syncronise the iPod again.
    iTunes 7
    1. Connect your iPod
    2. Disable "Display album artwork" in iPod>Music tab and click Apply.
    3. Syncronise the iPod with iTunes.
    4. Re-enable "Display album artwork" in iPod>Music tab and click Apply.
    5. Syncronise the iPod again.

  • The control click and external mouse right click no longer works when copying and pasting album art within itunes. Ex. Hit get info for one song to paste to the rest, copying the artwork wont work when it used to.

  • How do you add album art in iTunes 12? everything I've tried doesn't work

    how do you add album art in iTunes 12?

    Two methods:
    Right-click on the album, select Get Album Artwork.  iTunes will determine whether this album is available from the iTunes Store and, if so, download the artwork image from the Store and associate it with the media files.
    Right-click on the album, select Get Info and then the Artwork tab,  Then:
    click the Add Artwork button, navigate to and select an image file on your computer, or
    drag and drop an image file from your computer to the Artwork tab, or
    copy an image to the clipboard (for example, from a web page) go to the Artwork tab and press Ctrl-V (there's a bug in iTunes 12.0.1.26 such that right-click > paste does not work here
    For the second method, you can also access the "old style" editor window from iTunes 11 by holding down Shift as you right-click > Get Info.
    Lastly, there are three cases in which you can follow these procedures but artwork is not correctly associated with or embedded in your media files:
    your media are in a format that doesn't accommodate embedded artwork - typically WAV files.  To embed artwork you'll need to convert to another format - Apple Lossless or AIFF if you want to preserve lossless quality, AAC or MP3 otherwise.
    your media files are read only - to fix this, use Windows Explorer to find the folder that contains your files, right-click and select Properties.  On the General tab there's a check box labeled "Read-only" - if this is checked, or is grey (sometimes blue), click the box so that the flag is unchecked and the box is white.  Click OK, and then OK again when the "Apply changes to this folder, subfolders and files" option selected.  Now try adding the artwork again.
    Windows permissions issues are preventing iTunes from updating your media files (there's some anecdotal evidence of a change in this behavior in iTunes 12).  See turingtest2's notes on Repair security permissions for iTunes for Windows for advice on fixing this, then try adding the artwork again.

  • HT4914 can i select albums while using itunes match or do i have to select individual songs.  also if i can select albums can i scramble the songs?

    Can I select albums while using itunes match or do I have to select individual songs.  If I can select albums will match shuffle?

    Hello georgeandedie,
    It will do your entire library, from there you can play music by albums or just by songs and can shuffle the songs as well.

  • How do I Replace album art in ITunes 12

    How do I replace album art in ITunes 12. Before the upgrade I was able to delete and paste a new one in get info. No can do now!

    The new iTunes 12 Get Info dialog lacks right-click context menus (at least for now) but it still accepts most standard keyboard shortcuts and drag & drop actions.
    Delete Artwork
    On the artwork tab of Get Into, tap the image in question, use Backspace or Ctrl+X. Delete doesn't work.
    Or, tap the image at the top left of Get Info, this time use Backspace or Delete, it is Ctrl+X that doesn't work.
    Add Artwork
    Select artwork, press Ctrl+C to copy, tap the centre of the Artwork tab, press Ctrl+V to paste.
    Or, select artwork, press Ctrl+C to copy, tap the small image area at the top left, press Ctrl+V to paste.
    Or, you can drag & drop to, or sometimes from, the same locations.
    You can also copy artwork from the Get Info dialog to Windows Explorer with the keyboard shortcuts.
    If the source image is on a web page right-click and use Copy Image rather than copy. (With Chrome I get a one pixel wraparound so tend to go for a temporary local copy anyway - not sure whose bug this is, but it isn't new.)
    If you have multiple images embedded drag the one you want to be the primary artwork to the leftmost position.
    Replace/Remove All Artwork
    The top left image box can be used to add or delete art from multiple tracks. In either case all existing artwork in all tracks is replaced/removed.
    Old Style Get Info Dialog
    Select some items, right-click, hold down shift, then click Get Info from the context menu. (Use alt/option on a Mac)

  • IPhone album art from iTunes not downloading

    Recently, I have not been able to get my album art from iTunes to download to my phone. It appears in my iTunes on my computer, but will not transfer. It also will not appear on my phone when I purchase the music FROM my phone, but appears in my computer's iTunes. I've reset my phone, but the problem continues. This problem has only been happening for about the last two months and I've had my phone over a year. (iPhone 4, Verizon)

    the album covers are fine on itunes on my computer, but on my iphone they don't work. as in, when I sync my iphone to itunes, it switches the covers around to different covers. it seems to be random.

  • Blurry album art with iTunes 11

    So i got very blurry album art with iTunes 11. It seems to scale album art wrongly with my screens resolution, which is 1920x1080.
    When i make iTunes smaller the album art is fine and not blurry.
    I didn't have this problem with 10.7 as it had the slider for customizing album art size.
    So what can I do to change this?

    What is the competition you're referring to?
    I use itunes as a database and a jukebox.I embedded thousands of jpegs into my HUGE itunes library so that while I'm playing a music file I can see who's playing what.In the earlier version of itunes I could have all the information as well as all the music in one place on one external hard drive.
    The ability to expand front and back lp covers or scroll thru the entire cd booklet is a great feature that iTunes has now eliminated. My project using itunes was to completely digitize my music collection-all the music files and all the lp covers/cd booklets etc. I have spent the last five years at least working on this.Luckily I have all my jpegs in a separate folder outside of itunes so my endless scanning has not been totally in vain.I know better than to put all my eggs in one basket...
    Please tell me what program or software can do what iTunes used to do and I will gladly use it.
    Or if apple would offer the earlier versions of iTunes(with the eliminated features) for power users like me that might be better than nothing.
    Eventually when I get a new mac I will be forced to use the current version of itunes,I won't have a choice....
    Maybe by then, the competion will come up with what I'm looking for... thanks for reading.
