Missing album artwork when offline

I notice that album artwork is missing when I'm offling playing tracks that I've saved/downloaded for offline use. As the track is locally saved shouldn't the album artwork also be stored locally? When I go online the album artwork reappears.
Bizarre??!

Incidentally, steps to reproduce on Spotify iOS v3.3.0.1640: Put iPhone into Airplane Mode.Launch Spotify App.Small artwork shows album list: Enter album, large artwork missing: Small artwork shows in song bar whilst playing a song: Full screen now playing, large artwork missing: Can you please fix this?

Weird iTunes 10.6.3 missing album artwork issue

I upgraded to iTunes 10.6.3 yesterday, and I had to restart my Mac for an unrelated issue. This afternoon, I noticed something really weird- all my "Documentary" movies that I purchased through iTunes Store have lost their artwork previews; meaning, if I click on "Movies" in the Library menu at left, then select the "Documentary" genre, and view the movies under "Grid" mode, none of the movies have any artwork along the left side next to the title. It has ONLY affected the "Documentary" movies, but none of my other genres. In fact, I created a separate sub-category for "Disney Documentaries", and those movies are missing the artwork in "Grid" view as well. If I view all Movies in "List" mode, all the movies have artwork EXCEPT the Documentaries. Interestingly enough- if I select a Documentary movie and type "Cmd+I", then select the "Artwork" tab in the "Information" window. the artwork is still there, it just doesn't show in the "List" or "Grid" view. How can I fix this? I am currently rebuilding the Spotlight Index, I've repaired permissions, and even done a verify/repair with Disk Utility, but nothing has worked so far. I've already checked the "Automatically Download Missing Album Artwork" under Preferences, but that didn't solve the problem either. The movies all play fine otherwise, but this little glitch is frustrating me. Please help!

I have this issue. Album artwork was totally fine before. After this update, it is all messed up and even got messed up when transferred to my iphone.
iTunes doesn't have the artwork anymore, but then iPhone has it but shows wrong artwork with wrong albums.
Please fix!

How do I get iTunes on the iPad to NEVER show album artwork when clicking a song?

Hi Folks,
How do I get iTunes on the iPad to NEVER show album artwork when clicking a song?
I go in-and-out of the iPod app quite a lot (I use the iPad to help me while practicing music and I use multiple apps), so it's frustrating to have to constantly close the album artwork.
Apologies - I saw many threads about this but none that answered how to ALWAYS stop iTunes from jumping to artwork. If I missed the correct thread, I would appreciate a link.
Thank you.

That's what I thought - Apple generally has clean interfaces, so if I can't find an option to do something, it probably doesn't exist.
Thank you for a quick answer - and yes, I'll add this feedback.
I also just dropped Google feedback to PUT THE HOME LINK BACK IN THEIR LOGO.
What madness came over them to remove it??
I heard their engineers had a battle over this decision as well.

Updated to latest I-Tunes. Since then whenever I import a new cd to the library it won't get album artwork.How do I get the artwork. My I-Tunes is set to automatically download missing album artwork but it doesn't work.

Updated to latest I-Tunes. Since then whenever I import a new cd to the library it does not get the album artwork. Automatically download missing album artwork is enabled in Preferences but the art work still does not appear in my library?

I'm having the same problem as the OP, I can't find that file "profiles.ini"
can't re-install firefox, deleted all files related to Mozilla and Firefox, still locked out by missing Firefox profile
I posted on my own problem recently w/ no response (https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/search?a=1&asked_by=GPStyne&w=2),
so far all posts on this support page have been confusing and I've been unable to find any of the things they spoke of trying to change it.
at this point I'm begrudgingly running Safari hoping someone can help me fix this, can't believe i can't just delete all and reinstall like a normal program/app

How do I fill in missing album artwork?

How do I fill in missing album artwork for my music library?

A smart playlist with the rule Has artwork is false will help you focus on the tracks that need artwork.
Option-(or right)-click > Get Album Artwork should get artwork from the store if the album can be recognised. Otherwise Google is your friend, search for the relevant album, copy the image & paste it in to iTunes.
Note sure if affects Mac users but there is a copy/paste bug with the current build (10.4.0.80) which can result in a blank image being pasted. Saving the image locally to your computer, and then dragging in the saved image will work around that.

HT1473 I am having to recreate my itunes library and do not understand why prior album artwork appeared in my older library but not the new library? Is there some way to scan itunes for missing album artwork?

I am having to recreate my itunes library and do not understand why prior album artwork appeared in my older library but not the new library? Is there some way to scan itunes for missing album artwork?

do you have a strongly recommended default "managed" library (the iPhoto preference to "copy imported items to the iPhoto library is in its checked state) or a referenced library - you have unchecked that option?
It sounds like you have a referenced library and are now experiancing one of the very siginificant drawbacks of a referenced library and one of the many reasons they are strongly not recommended
Also note that iPhoto '11 may use alises in the originals folder as part of the upgrade
It is important that we understand exactly what you have and what is not sorking - what error messages you are getting
You must NEVER make any changes of any sort to the structure of content of the iPhoto library - there are no user servicable parts in it -- and you can not rebuild yoru librtary - only iPhoto ir iPhoto Library Manager - http://www.fatcatsoftware.com/iplm/ - can rebuild a library unless you are a SQL programmer and understand the structure that iPhoto uses

Missing Album Artworks in Album view in Music iOS

Apple updated Music App in iOS 6.
New interface Design but a new bug appear some album artworks are missing when we go in the Album list view.
But when you select an album, the artworks appear well and also appear in Cover Flow.
The album artworks are missing in Album list view only.
The problem seems to come from the option : Convert higher bite rate songs to xxx kbps AAC in iTunes
I just tried with the bit rate 192 kbps : some album artworks are missing in the Album view list
So if you want, you can test with the other bit rate and post if you have the some problem.
I uncheked the option Convert higher bite rate songs to xxx kbps AAC in iTunes, I resent my music to my iOS device.
Now all album artworks appear well in the Album list view.
In hoping this can help anyone.

Hey,
You should definitely submit this bug as feedback to the iTunes team.

Automatically Add Album Artwork when adding new music

Does anyone know how you can have iTunes automatically discover the album artwork, if you already have it?
I am backing up CDs and music which I already have converted to some digital format, and trying to compile all my music together from my wife and myself in a central location.
Many of the artist music folders already have an artwork image there associated with it.
So when adding a folder, is there a way to have iTunes automatically "see" that album cover? Would it be a convention for naming the file? Or a file size/picture size thing? Or place it in a specific location when importing?
Yes, I do know you can manually do it, which is fine for an album or two. But our collective media libraries are a mess, and there are hundreds of albums to import.
Also, I know you can use iTunes to "Search for missing album art work" but I also know that process is flawed, does not always turn up the correct art, and also does not code the artwork along with the track, so if you move music later on, the whole process starts over again.
I would imagine there has to be a way to kick iTunes to recognize the associated artwork automatically upon import. Any suggestions?
(ps - i use Windows XP Pro, iPhone 3G 16GB, iTunes 9.0.3.15)

Smart Playlists allow you to add tracks from the library to the playlists, according to rules. If the track is not in the library, Smart Playlists will not do anything with it. They do not help iTunes to notice that new files have been added to folders.
If it's not in the library, iTunes won't play it...
If you're adding music to iTunes, use the Add to Library function. That's what it's there for. iTunes will be happy that way and if you have smart playlists set up, they will be filled with the new additions.

My new Nano won't show all the album artwork when playing

When i'm listening to music on the nano, some album artworks will show and others won't. All my songs on iTunes have artwork so i don't understand why they won't show up on the iPod.
This isn't a drastc problem, just really gay.
If anyone knows how to fix the problem please let me know! Thanks!

Hi csimiamifreak1,
Is your iPod appearing in "My Computer" or not?
If it isn't, then see this:
iPod missing in "My Computer" or in iTunes for Windows
If your iPod is showing up in "My Computer" as a device, but not in iTunes, then you may want to check out the suggestions in these articles:

Where is the album artwork when you store songs in an external harddrive?

I have all my songs on an external flash drive but I have the I-tunes program on the C drive of my windows laptop.
In I-tunes I pointed the storage to the E drive and it all works fine.
But there is one wrinkle. It looks as if some of the album artwork is still stored on the C drive and NOT in the I-tunes folder in the E drive.
I know this becasue when I hit "add folder" and added the entire contents of my I-tunes folder on the E drive I:
1 got all my songs - no problem
2 encountered a delay as the program told me it was finding artwork for about a third of my songs.
It looks like the E drive has artwork for all the albums to which I manually added artwork. But it does not have the artwork for songs where the artwork came from the advanced / get album artwork function.
Weird eh? Any thoughts?

Right-click on drive H: and click Change Drive Letter and Paths...

ITunes 11 (11.1.4) Update Missing Album Artwork

Macbook Pro, Mac OS X (10.7.5). I have recently updated to 11.1.4 and now I am left with much of my album artwork missing...........sort of. In the picture below you can see the artwork is in the mini window but not on the album cover. Simple enough, find it how I found it in the first place, right click and get album artwork, right? Wrong. Not one out of a few hundred can be found. Any ideas?

That means one or more tracks in the album have the artwork, but the track referenced doesn't.
Simplest solution is to select one track that DOES have it. You can do this by getting info for the first track, selecting the Artwork tab and clicking "Next" at the bottom of the info pane until you see the album cover.
Click the album cover and press Cmd+C to copy it.
Then select the entire album and click the Artwork box. Press Cmd+V to past the artwork into ALL files
That's the long way, but... it "hard embeds" the artwork, which I prefer to the iTunes store artwork application which only links to it.

Why, when on the store I can see album artwork (for an album offered) I cannot get that album artwork when I have the same CD in my collection?

I have several albums that I own the actual CD, some of those CD's are offered on the store (example: America's Greatest Hits) After downloading those CD and asking to get album artwork even though the artwork is available online the store says that artwork is unavailable. Also it would be more than helpful to allow artwork from some online sites to be downloaded like it was about 2 years ago. Since then it is very difficult to drag and pop in missing artwork.

Album artwork when playing CDs

If I play a CD using iTunes (but don't import it), album artwork will not display. If I import the CD, or even just one track from the CD, the artwork is displayed immediately.
Is this the correct behaviour ? Why can't it display the artwork even though it knows what it is ?
Chris.

I too have similar problems but feel it may be related to the way in which the videos are encoded. Here's my story:
I have iTunes set to play videos in full screen, and the art window is set to "Now Playing". I have put all my videos into a normal playlist, and when I select one to play it plays it full screen. If the next video single is one purchased from the ITMS it will continue to play in full screen. If it is one that I have ripped myself (e.g. from a "bonus DVD" that accompanies an album) then the screen reverts to the iTunes window and the video plays in the album art window below the Sources pane.
However, when the next video comes on, it will play full screen regardless of how it was encoded. This is due to the "Play videos full screen" option being on.
This is irritating but appears to be a bug rather than anything any settings will fix. However, if anyone does have any tips I'd be happy to hear them!

ITunes Missing Album Artwork Problem

For all the albums that dont have album artwork, the artwork display is messed up, its blue-ish and has distorted parts of other albums in my library, instead of the normal gray, is there any way to fix this?

I have this same problem. I think it is a rendering issue because the problem disappears when I open fullscreen view for album artwork or use the visualizer.
