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

  • Missing: Information in Apple Mail

    Hello
    In Mavericks Apple Mail, I missing the option formgetting information of the size of all my accounts. So I don't know if the quotas are reached.
    Is their another "easy" way to check this? In 10.8 you can easy click Apple-I and you got all the info!
    Regards

    The problem of "invisible" attachments sounds all too familiar. I am using Apple's "Mail" program ver. 3.4.
    Recently, attachments have not always been showing up when the email's file size and the Paperclip icon indicates an attachment should be present. I have found that when this happens, very often I can view the hidden attachment by either going to the File Menu and choosing "Quick Look Attachments", or by pressing the Command and Y keys simultaneously. On occasion, I have had this abnormality occur from the same sender's email account who has also sent other emails with attachments that have shown up.
    If this is a known Bug, hopefully the upcoming OS X 10.5.5 update will provide a fix.

  • 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.

    After the IOS7 updates, when we are viewing music videos on my phones I can no longer turn the phone horizontal to see a bigger viewing of the video. I can only see it widescreen in vertical mode which is much smaller. Now when you turn it sideways, it pops up album cover art and I hate that. Is there a way to fix that?

    We are just users like you and don't know why Apple does what it does. This is not a place to "vent," it is a place to ask technical questions. As of now there is no way to change or modify the way these folders appear in Windows Explorer. You can provide feedback to Apple about this issue at this link: http://www.apple.com/feedback

  • 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.

    A pop-up message is frozen on my settings page. I was trying to set up an apple id for iTunes when I got a message "required fields have been left blank.

Please advise how to get rid of the pop-up box. Thanks!

    I'm having this same problem as well and cannot advance--very irritating. All of the information is filled out correctly and I've editted my AppleID information online separately as well to get around this issue, but no luck...

  • HT1454 Can't see ipod videos from 60GB ipod classic.  I have Apple USB/video cable running through Onkyo receiver into Samsung TV. Video & TV out settings seem correct-I can see album cover, but no video. Is it possible to get itunes music videos to play

    Can't see ipod videos from 60GB ipod classic.  I have Apple USB/video cable running through Onkyo receiver into Samsung TV. Video & TV out settings seem correct-I can see album cover, but no video. Is it possible to get itunes music videos to play or do I need to get new ipod.   It works on my iPad and iPhone, but not through iPod Classic.

    Are these music videos located under Videos on your iPod?  Do it play other regular movies (if you have any on the device)?

  • How can I inform apple about my stolen Mac Book Pro?

    I want to inform apple about my stolen Macbook Pro so that if they try to register it we can trace the computer. But apparently there is no reporting system. Is there another solution, an adress to  write an e-mail?

    ... well you answered your own queston. there is no reporting system..Apple doesn't track stolen equipment.. perhaps you bought Lojackforlaptops or turned on Find my Mac.. if you are at a college, you might want to ask your IT department if they can look for your IT via Mac's "MAC" address if you know it.

  • Provide information about handling units

    Plz provide information about handling units. Explain all the paths and information about HU.

    Hi,
    Purpose
    You can use Handling Unit Management (HUM) to reflect packing-based logistics structures in the SAP System. Using this method, you track the movements of entire handling units and the materials they contain rather than tracking each material individually.
    When you base logistics processes on handling units, goods movements processing is made easier, which in turn optimizes all logistics operations. This simplified processing includes the existing packing function in shipping and warehouse processing in the Warehouse Management system, which is expanded here.
    Features
    In the system, the handling unit (HU) expands on the shipping unit. Handling units can be nested, which means that you can create new handling units from several handling units as often as you like. At the material item level, HUs contain the complete material identification, the quantity, and, in the case of serial numbers, the respective object list. Handling units have unique, scannable identification numbers that can be developed according to standards such as EAN 128 or SSCC.
    Handling units contain all inventory management information of the materials they contain that are maintained in Inventory Management. There are also status messages that you can call up at any time that indicate whether a handling unit is only planned or if the ship-to party has been notified of the arrival of this handling unit, or whether it is in the warehouse or has already been posted to goods issue. The integrated history function also records each business process in the life cycle of each handling unit, meaning that you can track the handling unit’s path and development at any time.
    In HU-managed storage locations, all goods movements are executed through the specification of the respective HUs, and Inventory Management is performed through the handling units. If you are not working with HU-managed storage locations, you can use handling units (without stock information) as before in the delivery and in the shipment.
    In HU-managed storage locations, materials can be managed in HUs only. Mixed stock (stock made up of packed and non-packed materials within the same storage location) is not supported. HUs can also be managed in interim storage types. Unpacking a material from an HU means that the stock of the material is posted to a storage location that is not HU-managed.
    If you call up normal material movements in connection with an HU-managed storage location, a delivery is created, rather than a direct material posting, which has been the procedure up to this point.
    Handling units are unique at client level in at least one system. Using an indicator at client level (see Unique Identification of Handling Units), you can control whether you are going to work with the HU functions. Since the handling unit is a physical unit, the central logistics processes are controlled through the input of the handling unit identification. These processes include putaway, picking, and stock transfers, as well as goods receipts and goods issues.
    A handling unit’s mobility can be limited if quality checks are active. Changes in the stock category caused by a quality inspection are made using a posting change in the handling unit.
    There is also a report available that you can use to find and display handling units using different selection criteria such as material, packing instruction, or storage location.
    Although the handling unit is basically a unit that remains constant in the system, you can change it by repacking the materials it contains. All the packing functions, such as packing, repacking, and unpacking, are completely supported by the handling unit function. In this way, handling units can be created in production, during goods receipt, or in the packing areas of the warehouse. If you have automatic packing, the handling unit is created from the packing proposals defined in the system (from the packing instructions, for example).
