Movie artwork won't display in home share on iPhone

I just finished encoding a bunch of my movies and using MetaX to quickly add all the meta tags (most specifically the artwork). I imported these movies to iTunes and everything has been great. Again, most importantly, the art work was showing on my iPhone (via home sharing) and Apple TV.
I had to restart my computer soon after importing the movies and now the art work won't show up for any of the movies on my iPhone (Apple TV is fine). I just get a still shot as the picture so I have no idea which video is which unless I tap the still shot and it'll have the title. Oddly enough, the art work shows up in this same place (above the title) but it won't show up at the main page which shows all my videos.
I just checked my wife's iPad and it's working fine there. I tried rebooting the phone, closing all apps and rebooting the computer again. Any other suggestions?

I'm having a similar problem. I'm not creating the podcasts, but I am trying to view one that has chapter artwork. The podcast is "gdgt weekly" which you can download through the iTunes store.
The chapter artwork displays just fine on my iPhone, but won't display in iTunes 9, yet I can click on the Chapters menu and see small thumbnails of the chapter artwork.
How do I get the chapter artwork to display in the main window during playback of the podcast.

Some album artwork won't display on iPad

Hi guys,
Some of the song's album artwork won't display on my iPad or iPhone but shows up against each song in the album on iTunes on my Mac. There are entire albums' artwork not showing, yet when I open and play the same song in iTunes on my mac, it's there.
Any ideas?

in iTunes, choose to not *display Album Artwork on your iPod*, then sync your iPod, then change it back to display album artwork and sync again. I believe that will fix it.

Why won't Apple TV Home Share with my iMac?

Why won't Apple TV Home Share with my iMac? I have no problem Home Sharing with MacBook Pro. I have set up all Sharing settings on my iMac exactly the same as my MacBook Pro. The operating system on my iMac and MacBook Pro is the same (OS X Mountain Lion - 10.8.4).

shared lib was around long before appletvs
in the form of computers on the same network being able to access eachothers shared lib in itunes
if you can do that from your macbook pro as in access the shared lib of the imac
then the problem is with the appletv somehow
if you also can't access the shared lib of the imac from the macbook then you setup something wrong
or have a firewall blocking it or are not on the same network with the 2 devices
if the later when you fix the shared lib between computers chances are if will also be fixed from the appletv

Can't add all my movies to iTunes library and use home share

Some album artwork won't display on iPod Classic

I've had a strange problem recently with my new iPod Classic(and, come to think of it, my 2nd gen. iPod Nano): certain album artwork won't properly display, but will instead show up as a black square(like the 5th Metallica album, or the Spinal Tap album...). Sometimes, this happens only with certain songs on an album. For instance, I purchased 2 songs from the album "Employment" by Kaiser Chiefs last year. Recently, I purchased the CD, and I imported it to my computer. I chose "get album artwork" so the album cover would display for the newly imported songs, as well as the 2 I already bought. Now, the 2 songs I bought last year display their artwork normally, but the newly imported tracks just display the black square.
What's going on, and how can I fix it?
Thanks in advance..

ITunes U artwork won't display in iPhone

_Short version:_
This is the issue...this is how my iTunes U list displays in my phone:
http://www.imagebam.com/image/25438b106212904
But audiobooks display normal...
http://www.imagebam.com/image/85e882106212891
Obviously, the iTunes U list should display like the audiobooks list.
_Long version:_
This is a really annoying issue and I have tried a lot of fixes. Basically everything works normal in every other circumstance, but when I view my itunes U list in the iPhone, every single thumbnail that is supposed to display next to the album/course name appears instead as the default blank music note.
Artwork images display fine when I'm viewing the list of music albums, audiobooks and anything else. I have assigned an image to every individual episode of iTunes U content...and when that specific episode is playing, the artwork is shown like normal. So the ID3 tag is there...and even the phone can recognize the image...
It's only when viewing the list of iTunes U courses that the artwork doesn't display (and frankly this is the most important, as it helps identify which course/lesson I'm about to choose).
Attempted solutions:
I have tried everything I can think of. I read that some MP3 audio files, "have known issues displaying track Artwork information" and that Apple recommends either converting the files to MP3 files tagged as ID3 version 2.4 or converting the files to the AAC file type format (.m4a). I tried both of those things.
I removed all iTunes U content from my phone, used iTunes ver 10.0.1.22 to convert the ID3 tag of one episode in one course, and to convert one episode from another course from mp3 to m4a. I deleted the images tied to those, and then reassigned new images. I then synced the phone...same story.
I tried using smaller images. I tried using different image formats (jpg, png).
The only thing that (kind of) worked is downloading directly from the iphone in the itunes app. The weird part there is though, the thumbnail image that displays is actually a completely different image from what is on the ID tag...when I sync the phone with itunes on the computer and the episode that was downloaded straight to the phone shows up on the computer...the image is completely different. And if I sync the phone again...the iTunes U list in the phone is devoid of artwork again.
ANY NEW IDEAS?

PodCast chapter artwork won't display in iTunes

I recently put together a PodCast walking tour, which had images of the different stops for each chapter. However, these do not display when the PodCast is played through iTunes (when it's retrieved from the feed, or when the file is played outright). However, the images/chapters display in QuickTime and on the iPod itself. Can someone tell me why this might be, and how I can fix this?
Thank you!

Movie Artwork won't download from iTunes Store

I only saw one other post about this, and no resolution. Not only will is my artwork slow to download, some of it won't even download after 2 minutes. I have 1.25-1.3 mb/s DSL to an airport extreme base station. Every genre except HD movies only shows grey movie ticket icons and no artwork. What gives? I rebooted it once, and it helped, but then everything went away??? Is there away around this?

Contact the iTunes Store customer support department through the form linked from the bottom of their Download FAQ web page (I recommend that you use the form, not the link in your Purchase History as they advise; that's not proven to be very reliable) and explain the problem to them.
Good luck.

Audible Audiobook artwork won't display on iPhone 3G

Hey guys, I have an 8gb iPhone 3G running 3.1.3 and I just purchased an audiobook off audible.com and I transferred it to the iPhone, but all I get it the generic audiobook icon as its album art.
I went through iTunes and the album art appears to be attached to the file accurately. I also have two other audiobooks (all from audible), and none of them are showing the artwork...
I've even done the 'get info' off the file on my iPhone when it's plugged into iTunes and it shows the album art is there, but yet will not display...
I've read up on this, online, and apparently there are issues with artwork, but nothing I've read sounds like THIS issue... can anyone help?

This happened to me too after I upgraded and then resynced my iphone 3G. I read somewhere that if you reset the iphone, it will be ok. But that's a complete waste of time and shouldn't be the only solution. What a buggy device.

Album Artwork won't display correctly.

I've been having this issue for a few months now. My music doesn't have the right cover art on my Ipod touch 4 (running 6.1.6) but it displays correctly on iTunes 11.1.4 for PC. What happens is cover art for other music that i own will be on albums that don't match the artwork. I've tried clearing and redownloading the artwork, reinstalling (the same version) iTunes, deleting my entire library and starting from scratch, and restoring backups of my ipod but to no avail. Is this fixed with iTunes 11.1.5 or am i stuck like this?

i am having the exact same issue right now
on the music list (also in itunes) it'll display the correct album artwork but when i play the song it'll display a different artwork rather than the original :/
i want to find a way to fix it since it's bothering me a bit

.mov file won't display video

I ran across a DXG digital video camera/camcorder/MP3 player/voice recorder, model 506v yesterday, on sale for $89.
<http://www.dxgtechusa.com/index2.html>
I couldn't resist.
The manual says it can shoot video in both .avi and .mov format, and that the .avi is better quality. Since I use a Mac, and prefer the .mov format I shot a brief scene on my deck in .avi format, then switched to .mov, and shot the same scene. In the little camcorder window, both played back with video and audio. I then imported them into my laptop, and found to my surprise that-
1) the .mov (QT) file opens to a white video screen and you can hear the audio (This is not yet in iMovie/FCP) In other words, I got
audio but no video visible. It's 'there', because when you ask QT to 'show
movie properties', it shows a video MPEG 4 -- you just can't 'see' it.
2) the .avi file opens as expected, both video and audio displayed, though it does still need 'conversion' to get the sound in iMovie/FCPro.
Why, pray tell, would the .mov format not work?
Hal
Here is the 'movie info' for two of the files, one .avi, one .mov:
MPEG0001.AVI
Format: XVID Decoder, 640 x 480, Millions '.mp2', Mono, 44.100 kHz
FPS: 30
Data Size: 9.32MB
Data Rate: 4648.66 kbits/sec
MPEG0002.MOV
Format: Apple MPEG4 Decompressor, 640 X 480, Millions
Microsoft ADPCM, Mono, 44.100 kHz
FPS: 30
Data size: 9.65 MB
Data Rate: 4702.07 kbits/sec
PowerMac G4 -dual 800, MacBookPro Mac OS X (10.4.9)
PowerMac G4, dual 800-MacBookPro Mac OS X (10.4.8)
PowerMac G4, dual 800-MacBookPro Mac OS X (10.4.8)

FYI:
I tried VLC, and it worked - in that it opened both the video and audio, but I couldn't figure out how to save it using VLC in a format that would work in QT/iMovie.
I then decided to conduct an experiment, a very 'scientific' experiment: I went to Version Tracker, and got a list of video converters, then using the criteria of 'at least' four stars , and 'cheap' -- either free or shareware -- I download these three:
EASYWMV<http://www.easywma.com/wmv/>
iSquint<http://www.isquint.org/>
DivX<www.divx.com>
The first one, EasyWMV worked: it converted the .mov file to a .mp4 file, which opens both audio and video in QT, and imports into iMovie.
The other two didn't work, in that they couldn't/didn't display the video.
The EasyWMV only converts 1 minutes of video for the free version: for $15, you can get the full featured version.
Since there is no appreciable improvement, in using a .mov format vice the .avi file, I'll probably stick with the .avi file format, and use MPEGStreamClip to do the conversion.
That being said, I'm still curious: I'd like to know why QT doesn't open the .mov (which I think of as a QT format) file? Presumably it doesn't have the proper 'codex'?

Album artwork won't display on iPod?

I have been struggling with this problem for awhile now -- any help would be appreciated!
When I have my iPod plugged into my computer, I can see all of the album artwork that is set for my music on my iPod through iTunes. However, when my iPod is playing on its own, none of the album artwork will display. I have "display album artwork" set in the options. I have tried unchecking this option, ejecting the iPod from the computer, reconnecting the iPod, then rechecking the option, but this hasn't worked. Any ideas how I can fix this?

I believe this may have to do with how you are assigning the artwork to the albums. It seems like you have to assign the album art to every song in the album in order for it to show correctly on your ipod. For example, if you have a song playing in iTunes and you paste the artwork in the "paste artwork here" in the lower left corner; that is only updating the current song (even if you select multiple).
I have found the easiest thing to do is as follows (windows):
Highlight all the songs in an album. Right click-->Get Album Artwork. Pray that works. If iTunes can't find the artwork then plan B:
1) go to Amazon.com or or google images and find an image and the copy (just right click-->copy).
2) select all songs for an album-->right-click-->Get Info-->Check "Artwork", right-click-->paste

Album artwork won't display on my Nano

I tired everything, enabling the "display album artwork" from itunes. changing the size of the images, renaming them, etc.. but nothing worked! Any advise?

I posted in a similar thread about a problem I noticed. If you sync your songs without having "display album artwork" selected and then later select it, the artwork does not get moved over. I had to remove the songs and reload them to get the artwork displayed. Hope this helps!

Movie artwork won't transfer, now IOS 7.03 Artwork tab disappeared. How do I get it back?

The last 3 versions (Upgrades) of itunes has not been very easy to sync. The last version took me 4 times to get my music back on my Iphone, and 3 times on Ipad. Now my artwork is disappearing from my movies. Older movies not checked, to sync still have the artwork. Now the tab for artwork has been removed. How do I get my artwork back?

Corrected the issue by rebooting computer. Artwork came back but still took 4 attempted to sync. Encountered "sync could not be completed" "Timed Out".

Artwork won't display

I got a copy of a syymbol pattern and am using the call below to create an instance centered in view. Call comes back successfull but the symbol does not display in window. I have the "paintOrder" flag set to kPlaceDefault. Any ideas?
error = sAISymbol->NewInstanceCenteredInView (symbolPattern, paintOrder, prep, &newArt );
error = sAISymbol->NewInstanceCenteredInView (symbolPattern, paintOrder, prep, &newArt );

Maybe my logic is wrong here. Basically want to find symbol "QA Point" and place an instance in center of view. I used sAISymbol->PasteSymbolPatternArt(symbolPattern) as you see below but artwork came in a group and not instance. I commented it out and am trying to use sAISymbol->NewInstanceCenteredInView
for (i = 0; i < count; i++)
     error = sAISymbol->GetNthSymbolPattern (i, &symbolPattern, FALSE);
     error = sAISymbol->GetSymbolPatternName (symbolPattern, name);
     if (!strcmp(name.as_Platform().c_str(), "QA point"))
          break;
if (i < count)
     // error = sAISymbol->PasteSymbolPatternArt(symbolPattern);
     error = sAISymbol->GetSymbolPatternArt(symbolPattern, &prep);
     error = sAISymbol->NewInstanceCenteredInView (symbolPattern, paintOrder, prep, &newArt );
