Missing album cover

When my Ipod is locked and it is playing music I can see the album cover, however with the music I recently got from Itunes I cant see the album cover when my Ipod is locked. How can I get the new songs to show the cover like the older ones??

  • ITunes Missing Album Cover / Artwork Search feature (future update)

    Hi,
    I would like to request a future iTunes search function.  I know that iTunes allows you to save a Notifications report after you "Get Album Artwork" feature for missing covers or issues where it could not find Album covers.  However, can you add a function where you can list all the tracks/albums where iTunes could not find the album cover within iTunes, almost similar to the view, Show Duplicate Items function.  It would be great to list all the songs without covers within iTunes itself, so that one can work on fixing all the tracks with issues.
    Thanks
    p.s. still waiting on 2-way sync feature request, its been years now since i first requested.  For example, if you create an on the fly playlist on your iOS device that iTunes imports the playlist and merges any metadata updates, instead of creating duplicate playlists, etc.

  • Removing the 'music note' - Can i control what album cover is displayed as the cover album under the artists tab in the Music app?

    Ive searched for the longest and havent found a solution to removing the 'music note' . For example, i might have 10 albums under a particular artist, 1 of which i have no cover art for and it seems that thats the album chose to display. No matter the year or particular order the album falls in under the artist. Most artists that have a missing album cover dont show it but the ones that do still annoy me. I know im not the first to ask this so what can be done? Help me out
    P.s. this is an issue ive had since the ipad 2 as the music app hasnt changed. Im running the latest software (5.1)

    Its not the cover art itself, I know how to ADD album art.. Some albums just dont have cover art for whatever reason - problem is, that these albums are randomly chosen as the first album cover of an artist in the music library on my ipad. For example, i have a local artist album with no cover - he has 4 albums but the one thats diplayed at their name is of course the music note indicating theres no album artwork.
    So why the **** does it choose the ONE album with no artwork and is there a way i can designate which album i want displayed for a particular artist?

  • Album cover image missing in Itunes

    Itunes added most of the album covers I have in my music library but some are still missing I have gone to google.com and clicked on images then searched for album cover images, chose a cover and saved to my desktop, but the image will not paste. What am I doing incorrectly? I have recently upgraded to I'11

    Thank you, I found the answer on "More like this..." The step I was missing was clicking on file, then get info...I was able to paste my image.

  • Missing album art work in cover flow mode

    why would i have a missing album in cover flow mode on my ipod classic, but be able to see the same album in itune on my computer. it does shows up under artist catagory, just not cover flow. i have deleted the art work and re copied it, re synced and restarted and still no album cover. also, not marked as a compliaction either. thoughts?
    thx

    *Why is artwork not showing on my iPod when it's there in iTunes?*
    iTunes will display a cover in many of it's views provided at least one track from the album has embedded artwork. The iPod appears to load only the artwork from track one to create the cover flow and album views which means that it can sometimes fail to display art for albums even when you can see the art in iTunes. Further, when tracks are played on the iPod, artwork is displayed if and only if it exists in the currently playing track, so track one may show art while track two does not.
    *How to find tracks without artwork*
    To find all the tracks without artwork so that you can update them you can try http://www.stum.de/itunes-find-tracks-without-artwork/ for Windows or http://dougscripts.com/itunes/scripts/scripts13.php for Macs. Use Google, Amazon, Discogs etc. to locate relevant jpeg images. Ideally these should be square, 320x320 pixels or above and borderless to give the best results in the various menus. If you have artwork for some tracks of an album, but not others, find the album in the main music folder, select a track with artwork, right-click (Option-Click for Macs) on the art & click copy, then select all the tracks of the album, use CTRL-I or Command-I to *Get Info* and then paste the image into the artwork box.
    I say 320x320 because I believe (from using TouchCopy) that it's the size used in the iPod cache so if you're going to crop or resize you might as well work to that size. Otherwise 200x200 is probably good enough.

  • How do I insert Album cover art that's missing on new iTunes 12.0?

    How do I insert Album cover art that's missing on new iTunes 12.0?

    The latest iTunes version is 11.3.1. If you have iTunes 12 beta, you will need to ask your question in the Developers Community.

  • Missing information by Apple about handling album cover in general

    I have just read several threads about the album cover question and it seems to me as if some helpful and official words by Apple would be necessary. How is cover art handled? Is there a new technique for local storage? Are covers no longer embedded in sound files? What's the exact purpose of the files in the new "Album Artwork" folder in the iTunes folder? What does their strange names mean? What format are the files? How are these connected with the tracks? Is there only one cover art file for multiple tracks?
    iTunes help itself does not give any explanations at all.
    So I would appreciate some more detailed information about this theme.

    I have this same exact problem. I have entire albums that are in the iTunes Store. For example, P.O.D "Satellite" is in the iTunes store, but the Album Art will not download for my ripped CD. I have also taken the time to make sure every single character of AAC files embedded info matches the iTunes store embedded info (i.e. Artist, Song Title, Album all match).
    It is very frustrating that I know the artwork is there, but I can't get to it. Any clues would be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks,
    Brandon

  • IPhone 4S iOS 5.0.1 Album cover art STILL missing

    The album cover art IS in my iTunes 100% but only a few of the album covers appear in my new iPhone 4S updated to 5.0.1 and re-booted several times.
    HELP please as I USED TO use album cover art ti help select songs to enjoy.

    Sounds like memory leak - basically the code for an app or program is not getting the message that it needs to terminate its operation, so it continues to run in the background (even if you remove it from the multi-tasking tray when you double click the home button).  This is probably preventing your iphone from entering its "idle state" or "sleep mode".  This would result in your standby and usage time being almost identifical.

  • IPhone 4S, iOS 8.2 update, iTunes album cover art missing

    Hello,
    I just updated my 64GB iPhone 4s to the new iOS 8.2, after reading online that it addressed issues with previous iOS 8 updates.
    Everything on the phone seems to work fine as far as I've found, but the album cover art for almost every album isn't coming over.
    I know this may sound insignificant, but it is the fastest way to look up music, especially when on the go.
    I have all my album artwork included on iTunes on my laptop.  Previous to this update, all album covers came over to iPhone.
    I just did the update to 8.2 last night (March 9, 2015), and synced my iPhone with my laptop to update my music catalog.
    First time it didn't bring the artwork over, so I re-synced and tried again.  Our of the 474 albums currently on the devise, album artwork came over on 58 albums.
    Has anyone else identified this issue?  If so, were you able to find a solution?
    Thank you.

    This has happened about 2 other times since updating to iOS 8.3.  I have an iPhone 6 Plus (128 GB).  I am able to retrieve the album artwork by removing the music from the device and then syncing with iTunes again.  This is a hassle, though, as I have 12,000+ songs that I sync to the device.  Album artwork hangs around for about 2 weeks and then mysteriously vanishes again.  So I have finally given in and will wait until the next software update and then hope for the best with another remove/sync cycle after the update has been applied.
    Bush league, Apple.  Bush league.

Anyone else have any ideas as to how i can either get my songs or get my money back?

  • Album Cover art

    I like the idea of being able to browse using cover art but it is only a useful feature if you can get most cover art . There are many albums for which iTunes has album cover art, albums which I own original copies of, for which I can't get album art.
    Examples: Sigur Ros /Saeglour, T-Bone Burnett /True False Identity, Paul Simon/ Surprise, Graceland, all of Van Morrison's albums, most Dylan and Neil Young albums and many others.
    Apple put this feature on I Tunes, but many album covers which you show on the Itunes store website don't download. I have both checked "automatically download missing album artwork" in preferences and requested Get album artwork in the Advanced Tab . If I control click on the album artwork on iTunes store, I can't even copy the image to paste it in manually. Also, when I request album art I often get an "unable to download certain artwork " message with no further explanation. If I'm supposed to buy the album art I'd like to know how and how much.
    What's up?

    The spelling was ok since almost all were entered using gracenote. Anyway it suddenly started working. without changing anything I could tell I asked again to get album artwork from the Advanced tab and it started downloading 400 album covers. whatever. So my problem wasn't answered but it is solved. thanks for the google image search idea. So I guess I'll mark it answered.

  • Album Cover/Title not showing in the List for an Artist with one album.

    Hello all.
    I have browsed a number of the posts, but nothing close to my particular problem.
    I am new to iPod Classic (a couple of months). I like it! Used to be a Creative Zen Vision:M user.
    Here is my issue.
    I have most of the covers for my albums. Still looking for a few.
    When I go to the Artist's menu and pick an artist, if it has more than one album, it shows 'All Songs' and a list of albums with covers, album name and number of songs on a separate screen. You click an album and it shows the tracks, you click a track and away you go. That works just fine.
    However, when the Artist only has one album, it does not show the album cover, name and number of songs on a separate screen. It just shows the list of tracks. I would like it to be consistent. I would like to see the album cover/name before I click the tracks to start.
    I have worked all my songs in iTunes. I'm pretty sure there is no difference between the one and multiple album artists.
    Of course when you click a track to start, the album cover shows on the Now Playing screen.
    Is there some sort of setting I might have missed.
    Any thoughts on this? What might I try?
    Thanks in Advance ...
    Bob

    Wow!
    Is that really so?
    I'm not questioning your answer. Just want to make sure before I say OK and let it be. I had heard that iTunes/iPod forces you to do things their way, this is an example, I guess!
    Thanks for the input.
    I guess I'll just have to leave it be!
    Is iTunes the only way to deal with iPod? Are there any other programs?

  • Album Cover Flow View Option????

    I just updated to 11.0.4 version.  What happened to the album cover flow view option in Music?  Is it no longer an option?  If so, I'm NOT happy. The "juke box" feel was nice to flip through and easy for younger kids & grandparents to browse library.  I might have to revert back to earlier version.   Am I missing something?  Thanks for any input! 

    yeah they got rid of it in the new version which is stupid, because when i just have it up while doing other things i like to see the cover art and it's much easier to look through.
    i'm just sorta stuck with a plain text list. it ***** and is ugly. i wish i hadn't of upgraded.

  • 3.6 won't display facebook album cover pics/ windows 7/ explorer does

    New laptop with Windows 7 and Firefox 3.6. So far, facebook album cover pics and thumbnails do not display under profile pics tab, although individual pics display. By comparison, eBay pics and thumbnails display correctly. On same computer same problem does NOT occur from Explorer.

    It is possible that you clicked "Block Images" in the right-click context menu while saving an image.
    See:
    * http://kb.mozillazine.org/Images_or_animations_do_not_load
    You can use these steps to check if images are blocked:
    * Open the web page that has the images missing in a browser tab.
    * Click the favicon ([[Site Identity Button]]) on the left end of the location bar.
    * Click the "More Information" button to open the "Page Info" window with the Security tab selected (also accessible via "Tools > Page Info").
    * Go to the <i>Media</i> tab of the "Tools > Page Info" window.
    * Select the first image link and scroll down through the list with the Down arrow key.
    * If an image in the list is grayed and there is a check-mark in the box "<i>Block Images from...</i>" then remove that mark to unblock the images from that domain.

  • 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.
