Missing cover art iTunes match

On the iTunes match I have several missing cover art,on my iMac all the art work is still there.They are missing on my iPhones and iPads.

I am not sure how many of you had to re-os, power off multiple times, or restore. So, try these and hit 'like'  and/or 'This solved my question' or 'This helped me', if it works as explained below.
What you do on the iTunes is what appears on iPhone. Artwork missing in iPhone is unlikely, if iTunes on PC has them. I am going to be very simple in writing, for everyone to understand as clear as possible. Follow the below steps -
1. Go to iTunes (On PC). Right Click and select 'Get Info'.
2. If any error message gets displayed there, try to play it once or locate that song manually, if you have recently changed the location.
3. Select 'Artwork' tab and ensure the artwork is still there.
4. (Here is the funny part) - Go to 'Info' tab (the tab between 'Summary' and 'Video')
5. Ensure for any particular song, the following values are always captured -
a) Name -
b) Artist -
c) Album - (Most of us tend to delete this album data, to avoid seeing duplicate of the name or artist)
    Eg. On my iTunes (PC), a song is categorized -
a) Name - Bad Day (Ladies and Gents - I did not purposely select this song )
b) Artist - Daniel Powter
c) Album - Bad Day
Try the above simple step and see if it works. If not, reply back to me and mention the exact error message. Can try to help.

  • Missing cover art from iTunes on iPhone

    Some of the albums on my iPhone (bought via iTunes) are missing their cover art. On my iMac all the albums in iTunes have their cover art. When I sync the iPhone on my iMac, the cover art doesn't update on the iPhone! The iPhone iTunes cover art used to be there, some of them were even bought from iTunes while on the iPhone.
    Can anyone please please let me know how I can update all the cover art for albums on my iPhone?

  • Downloading a missing song with iTunes Match

    On my second computer I had downloaded a song and it was deleted. iTunes now displays the missing file question mark. There is no option to download or play the song from iTunes Match. My assumption, is that if I delete the track it will delete from Match also. Is that correct? and also is there a way to download the song without rebuilding my iTunes library file ?

    If you delete it, it will ask you if you want to delete from Match, select no. After that you will be able to redownload from the cloud hitting the cloud icon (if it was matched/uploaded to cloud in the first place).

  • Missing cover art in album section

    My problem is pretty basic. My cover art for some of the albums I've uploaded do not appear when I click on the albums section. They also don't appear when I click on the artist and then pick an album. When a song plays the alblum cover art appears. I've tried clearing it and then placing the cover art back on but it does not change. What can I do to resolve this?

    This seems to be a bug in the 3.1.x OS. When I updated to 3.1.1 I noticed the same thing where only some of the small artwork icons for albums are missing in the Album or Artist menus. No problem with Now Playing or Coverflow, just the small icons. The problem persists with the 3.1.2 release.
    I've removed and re-loaded affected albums and still have the problem. I've even gone as far as resetting and restoring my 2G Touch (for other reasons) and still have the problem, so I believe this is a firmware bug (so nothing you can do).

  • Videos missing cover art iOS 8

    Ever since upgrading to iOS 8 my videos have lost their cover art. They show up in iTunes and I have re-added them a few times, but no videos ever have cover art on my iPhone 6 Plus or iPad Mini with Retina. Both are running iOS 8.0.2.
    Anyone figure out how to fix this?

    Same issue here.

  • Missing songs in iTunes Match?

    Just got iphone5 upgrade, was using a 3GS running 5.0.
    Imported all settings/email/photos etc from icloud backup.  Very cool.
    But, all music is gone.  I though I'd just make a playlist of songs I wanted to download, but many don't appear in the playlist.
    With itunes Match turned on, and "show all songs" I can see all the songs, but I can't download a "SONG".  Just an album.
    And for specifics> I purchased the Adele, 21 album on my 3GS.
    Now it will allow me to download the album, but NOT track 1. ?!?!
    And on my work computer, running itunes Match it shows 3 tracks from the album, and track 1 IS playable there...
    Can't this just WORK?

    This topic has been discussed in-depth on this forum. A search will turn up several threads.
    In iOS 6 Apple changed the behavior so it is no longer possible to download single tracks but only albums, artists and playlists.

  • Transfer of ebooks from library to NookColor missing cover art?

    I have successfully transfered my ebooks from my local library
    to my NookColor using ADE. However, there is no cover art displayed for each book on my personal libraryshelf? Oddly enough, when I open the book to read the cover art shows when I begin to read. Isn't there suppose to be a cover art thumbnail of the book on the shelf or is that only for books directly downloaded from B&N. Any feedback/suggestions appreciated.

  • Can I batch download missing tracks from iTunes Match?

    For some reason thousands of my tracks have gone missing in iTunes. No idea what can have happened, unless it was a consequence of messing with TuneSpan...! The exclamation mark icon appears next to the missing tracks. I can play them and download them if I go through a series of clicks so I could download tham all one at a time (indeed I started to do so) but to complete this job is going to take hours and risk giving me repetitive strain injury. Is there a way to get iTunes to download all the missing ytracks from Match?

    Thanks. This will save me one click per item, but I still have to click each one individually a couple of times (ie to make it 'play' in order to get rid of the and then press Escape to dismiss the dialog box that comes up about searching for other missing files. (If I select multiple items and control-click for the contextual amenu, Download does not appear – only when I have gone through all of the above to turn into the iCloud download icon.)

  • Missing cover art swipe-back to song list-command after update

    Before when listening to music, you could swipe your finger to the right and the Touch would go back to the listing of songs. It seems after the last update this does not work anymore. Any tips? It makes it more difficult to use one-handed.

    i'm not sure what you mean. when i listen to music, swiping my finger does nothing (other than when in cover flow, when it just changes to the next album.)
    tapping the screen in cover flow brings up a list of tracks in that album.
    tapping the list icon in the top right of the screen when NOT in cover flow will do the same.

  • MAJOR Cover Art bugs in iTunes 7.x.x

    Here are some interesting observations in discovering MAJOR Cover Art bugs in iTunes 7.x.x
    1. Importing CDs
    If you import a CD, you must wait for complete import to finish in hopes that all songs will populate successfully with cover art. Even here, success is random.
    If you request cover art during the import, there are mixed results.
    iTunes should be smart enough to detect if any album exists with partial cover art in the library database, then those tracks with missing cover art will be automatically detected and updated.
    2. Missing Cover Art
    This occurs on 2 levels:
    a. iTunes Store may just not have cover art for some (older) albums
    b. iTunes Store does find the cover art, but it is not applied to *all tracks* on the album
    The workarounds bring mixed results.
    I have resorted to the "Get Info" approach and pasted cover art to random album tracks where cover art was only partly applied by iTunes.
    In other cases, I scanned in the CD cover and applied it to albums where iTunes found no cover art. I assumed this would be a one-time fix as I expected some minimal tweaking would be involved in managing cover art.
    No such luck! Here is why iTunes cover art represents a MAJOR bug in version 7.x.x
    Day 1: I spend many hours tweaking and fine-tuning the cover art, assuming iTunes will "save" all my work. I browse different albums/tracks and everything looks great!
    Day 2: Looks like iTunes only "saved" some of this effort. Sure enough, certain complete albums and random tracks from other albums now show NO cover art! How frustrating!
    * * * Here is what is MORE DISTURBING about this Cover Art bug! * * *
    I resort to thinking about more workarounds, and here are the results:
    Hmmmm. Looks like if I paste in the Cover Art twice on certain album tracks, the Cover Art is now applied to that track. Meaning, if you do a "Get Info" on a track, you will see two pastes in the Cover Art tab, yes, you add the cover art twice, one cover next to the other so as to force that album track to get the cover art to attach. On the surface, this seemed to work, and all album tracks now seem populated with Cover Art and the effort appears "saved" when I revisit the album on Day 2.
    But all is not what it appears. The trick of adding missing cover art twice, in the hopes that an album and/or certain random album tracks might adopting the cover art you are trying to assign will produce the following:
    IT ACTUALLY AFFECTS THE AUDIO TRACK!!!!
    Multiple attempts to add/fix cover art will ADD TO TRACK DURATION, such that when you play a track, the lead-in portion of the lyrics (say first 10 secs or so) will REPEAT in as many times as you tried to add the cover art!!!!
    Thinking this might be a corrupt library database, I even deleted the database, started over, and while adding missing cover art, was able to reproduce the lyrics repeating on those tracks where the cover art was added (pasted) twice. You can HEAR and see the increased track duration in iTunes 7.x.x
    MAJOR Cover Art bug!!! So you are not alone. And besides all the wasted hours trying to fix this, I say wait for iTunes 8.x
    Please post and let me know if you have had the same experience with this cover art bug and similar workarounds.
    C'mon Apple! PLEASE FIX THIS. What gives?

    You can tell iTunes to "Clear Downloaded Artwork" to get rid of the wrong image.
    Getting iTunes to select the correct image, especially for compilations can be quite frustrating. I've been slowly cleaning up some old artwork from when iTunes could not pull artwork from the iTunes Store for music from other sources. I've learned to check the album in question by using the iTunes Store link in iTunes - I figure if it goes right the the album I'm all set - Wrong! Today I'm doing battle with a bunch of "20th Century Masters - The Millennium Collection" albums. I can go through the album song by song and every one goes right to the correct album - but when I "Get Album Artwork" it still may not find the album or will pull in volume 2 instead of volume 1, etc. I've tried making sure my albums names are exact matches to the iTunes store with the same bad results.
    It really seems like iTunes uses a different search method for artwork than for the iTunes Store link. At least Google has an image search...

  • Podcast cover art missing after IOS5 update

    I updated to IOS5 yesterday.  All went well except almost all my podcast cover art is missing.  The cover art for all my music is fine. Any suggestions on how to resolve this issue?

    I had the same problem. Resolved it with the following sequence:
    - SYNC'ed with iTunes using USB cable (Windows).
    - Selected my iPhone in the DEVICES list.
    - Clicked the Podcasts menu item for that device.
    - Changed the Sync options to Automatically include "all unplayed" episodes of "selected podcasts" (it was set to "all podasts".
    - Unchecked the podcast with missing cover art and clicked Apply. This removed the podcast from my device.
    - Checked the podcast with missing cover art and clicked Apply. This put the podcast back on my device.
    And now the podcast has cover art.

  • Can one share album cover art between WMP and iTunes?

    I am regularly using Windows Media Player as well as iTunes (the latter mainly to fill my iPod). All my albums (well-organized in subdirectories) contain a file "folder.jpg" (which is the standard unser windows) containing the album's cover art.
    iTunes apparently goes off and tries to download the cover art from some server and then stores it in its own setup under .../My Music/iTunes/Album Artwork/..., but obviously isn't very good at that, since it finds only maybe 20% of the covers, the rest remains empty. Is there a way to tell iTunes to pick up the cover art from those folder.jpg files?
    Ideal would of course be, if the two could share these files (i.e. pointing to the same file (e.g. using NTFS hard-links). Is that possible? Does anyone know a tool or script that does that automagically?

    {quote}Is there a way to tell iTunes to pick up the cover art from those folder.jpg files?{quote}
    No. You can work around this by using another program like Mp3tag to embed the artwork from folder.jpg into the ID3 tag. Despite its "mp3" name, Mp3tag will also work on AAC files.
    You cannot use hard links because the iTunes artwork files are not simply picture files. The pictures are embedded in some other (undocumented of course) ITC format (I say ITC format because that is the file extension -- I have no idea what it means). Also, you would have to figure out the folder structure.
    Another option is to use an external program to "trick" itunes into downloading the artwork from your own server. See these threads/posts:

  • No cover art sharing for multiple accounts?

    Hi!
    Two users with an iPod each are sharing a common Music folder, but both users are accessing it from their individual account. Problem: Cover art is stored in the users specific folder 'album art'. So, if one user imports a CD for which iTunes cannot find the cover art and if he manually adds the missing cover art, the other user will not see it.
    In fact, I manually added covers for about 100 CDs to my library before I noticed that this cover art is not used by the other persons instance of iTunes.
    Any way to solve this issue effectively?

    You can add the artwork to the ID3 tag, instead.
    Here is another discussion on thathttp://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1629341&tstart=0
