Missing cd artwork

When importing some cd's into iTunes and it does not get the artwork, how do I get the artwork ?
I used to just scan the artwork into my Mac as a jpeg, and then "drag and drop" onto the cd in iTunes.
That does now not work.
ANY help gratefully received as it is driving me mad, and I want to connect my nice new iPod to my Mac !!
I am using OS X 10.10.1 and iTunes 12.0.1.22, both the latest.
Thanks
Bilbo

What idiot changed it I wonder
There are supposed to be three ways to add a JPEG to the Artwork window:  drag-n-drop, copy/paste, and add from file.  Many releases of iTunes have at least one of the three broken.  In the current problem, I don't know if it was a design decision or a bug!

  • 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!

  • 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

  • Missing Music Artwork

    Hi,
    I recently synced my iPhone 5 to my Macbook Pro (Retina Display) and after doing so I lost most of the album artwork for my songs (I have iOS 8.1 on my phone and iTunes version 12.0.1.26). All of the album artwork is present in my iTunes library for all my songs yet on my phone most all of my songs are missing their artwork. Is there any simple fix for this? I don't understand how this could've happened since I didn't specifically tell iTunes to remove the artwork; this seems like something that would be done manually but instead happened automatically. Any help is greatly appreciated.
    Thank you.

    I Have the same issue. At all other views, album, song, lists, including landscape view, the artwork are visible. The only problematc view is Artist View; most of artist show the generic silver box! Any solutions????

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • Missing Albun Artwork

    When playing one of my CD's iTunes recognizes the album and automatically gets the music names, however the album artwork is always missing.
    What should I do to see the album artwork?

    ITunes doesn't magically find album artwork for you. You have to do that manually and add it to the songs. I recommend checking www.allmusic.com or www.amazon.com to find good artwork. Or use Tag&Rename to add artwork to your song files using the amazon.com lookup function.

  • Missing album artwork after iOS5 upgrade!!

    After I upgraded my iPhone, everything went smoothly, all my apps where there, text messages, emails etc. Even all my music was there but I noticed that random album artworks were missing. I connected it iTunes and clicked "sync" and it showed at the top that it was syncing a numerous amount of album artworks to my phone, so I thought it fixed the problem but I check my phone and it didn't. The weird thing is that all the album artworks show in my iTunes library and playlists but not on my phone!! I tried restarting my phone and manually clicking "get album artwork" in iTunes, nothing has worked. Furthermore, these artworks aren't custom or added by me, I purchased all on iTunes, so I know that isn't the problem. I really don't want to resort to restoring my phone due to having to reoragnize everything on it, but if I have to, I will. PLEASE HELP ME!! Thanks.

    If the artwork is OK on your computer you may be able to solve your problem by removing all your music and then resync it back to your iPad.

  • Find missing application artwork

    I recently moved my entire iTunes library from one external drive to another (larger one,of course).  Now, all of my app artwork is missing and shows a generic icon.  I know that I can right-click, choose Get Info then select Ok to restore it, but I have almost 500 apps.  Is there an easier way to do this for the entire app library?

    I've just had to do a restore from Time Machine of my whole system and encountered the same problem with about 30 of the app icons in iTunes now missing.
    When I select 'Get Info' for any of the icons, the artwork tab is greyed out and unselectable and so the above technique won't work.
    Has anyone else got any other possible solutions?
    Thanks

  • "automatically download missing album artwork" Questions.....

    I have added a lot of album and artists photos to my music. If I check the preference to let itunes fill in missing artwork will it write over art that is presently there?
    If so I won't do it.

    .John thanks for the response.. I'm a bit confused I know it wont workif I dont set the preference but my question is if it finds different artwork for songs that I have already put in will it replace those songs with its own artwork?

  • Audiobook or Podcast missing menu artwork?

    After reading a few threads and posting some thoughts about audiobook artwork that seems to be missing from either the main menu or the music menu with ipod software, I thought I would do some research. I noticed that on the Apple website where you can preview demo videos for the various ipod models, you can see a short demo video for the ipod nano and the ipod classic (and the others). With both of these ipod models, there is a demo video for using audiobooks and using podcasts.
    What I noticed is that the ipod classic demo video for audiobooks does in fact switch to artwork for the sample audiobook (Harry Potter) when the click wheel is moved over the audiobook option, before the click wheel is pressed. However, in the ipod nano demo video for audiobooks, the "artwork" side of the menu screen does not seem to switch to the artwork for the audiobook. What I did notice for both the ipod classic and nano is that the demo videos both show that there should also be some sort of podcast artwork as well. Both videos show a sample podcast from G4 with a yellow screen and both sample videos show this "artwork" (which might just be a random screen shot of the video file, like how the ipod does for movies/videos/etc. for main menu "artwork") on the right side of the menu. This happens to be a video podcast, but it does not provide an example of an audio podcast, because there is not much to see on the ipod screen in that case. Currently, I believe all ipod models have the grey podcast logo that appears on the right side of the menu and lists the number of active podcasts on the ipod (audio and video)...
    Does anyone remember if older firmware from last year (when the ipod classic was just released) ever showed audiobook artwork or podcast "artwork" as it is shown in the Apple.com demo videos?

    *** Apple! I just bought an ipad mini & expected it to be better than my ipod. Its bad enough that I lost paid audio books that I paid for because they are not covered in the cloud (I will never buy files not covered by the cloud again. And no I don't own a computer because I'm broke after spending money on a ipod that was old in less than a year so then bought your new release ipod & lots of money on itunes.) but geez GIVE ME AUDIO BOOK CHAPTER NAVIGATION OTHERWISE ITS POINTLESS TO USE MY IPAD MINI FOR AUDIO BOOKS AND DO IT QUICK CUZ I MIGHT JUST GO BUY A COMPETITORS DEVICE FOR IT. Get real Apple, I had to buy a Samsung Galixy S3 not because I like it better that the iphone 5 but because I had no choice due to your prices off of one of the major cell phone providers. Maybe I just should have bought a Galixy tab :/

  • Missing Episode Artwork

    I have created a series of podcasts for my website using Garageband that went off without a hitch. I dropped in artwork and also episode artwork in the lower lefthand corner in GB. I exported to iWeb with no problems but hit a snag when uploading to the yahoo host.
    When I uploaded (using Captain FTP) I got an error message about improper characters being used. I checked the published site folder and it appears that iWeb used commas in creating the files names of the episode artwork for the webpage. Everything else is there and works fine. It's just that instead of seeing episode artwork, question marks remain.
    I am really anxious to get this resolved in a hurry. I am a high school teacher and I am uploading student generated podcasts. I'd love for them to see their work online and functioning well before summer vacation. Any advice or tips sent would be great appreciated.

    I guess I should clarify what I did to solve this. I used my software to produce the podcast originally, and that is what caused the file naming issue.
    I was not able to correct the problem with the software, so I had to rename my files once they were produced and saved to my hard drive. I then deleted the files from the Yahoo! server (the software had automatically uploaded them) and re-uploaded the new files manually through a very simple FTP program.
    You MAY also need to manually edit your XML file and change all references to the old filenames to the new names that you gave them.
    I know this is a pain in the rear, but as a new podcaster, I have not yet found a simpler workaround or piece of software that does not name the files improperly.

    - 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/delete all music and resync
    To delete all music go to Settings>General>Usage>Storage>Manage Storage>Music>Tap edit in upper right and then tap the minus sign by All Music
    - 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.
