My album artwork no longer shows up in screensaver.

The artwork is still fine in iTunes. Any ideas?

I have just purchased a new Imac running 10.8 mountain lion, after loading new songs into itunes I too had no screen saver working showing the art work.
This had nothing to do with voice memos, no other items were connected so have tried this method and it works twice on both computers, the other is running leopard.
If all your music is on the main hard drive, check in finder and your itunes folders should be in music, all I did was make a new folder and call it music 2, make sure its under music on the left hand side, drag the itunes music folder containing only the music into this. From this go to itunes in applications delete itunes into trash, restart computer then download the latest version. When all opened up you should get a home page showing get music from icloud or scan for media, press scan and let the new version find it on your computer, when finished go to screen saver settings and notice the itunes screen saver working.
I don't know why this works either its a software fault with apple or just my luck, but I have had no problems since and looks greats on the screen.

Album artwork isn't showing up in album view (where all the albums are) but IS showing up when you drill into the specific album.

The album artwork isn't showing up in the album view where all the different albums are shown but when you drill into the specific album then it is shown. This seems to be a recent problem as it wasn't happening in the past.

Nope, that doesn't work. First, I manually manage the music, but even deleting and using auto-fill, doesn't put all the album art in place even though it is all on the songs in iTunes. Even copying and pasting from iTunes to the iPhone does not get the artwork to show up, despite the fact it shows up in "Info" on the iPhone in iTunes. Plus there seems no rhymn nor reason as to the missing artwork, some ripped songs have it, some purchased songs do not. Bizarre! But I've run across this problem every since time I've restored an iPhone and had to redo the music separately, however, previously I could manually drop and drag the song over after the auto-fill to replace (after deleting on the iPhone) and the artwork would show up. Not this time however. This is one of those details I find extremely annoying!

Album Artwork won't show on iPod Touch

I am running iTunes 10.6.3.25 on my Windows Vista laptop and iOS 5.1.1 on my iPod touch. I have transferred some new albums to the iPod and the album artwork don't show on the iPod. It does show up in iTunes and if I look on my iPod through iTunes, I see the artwork when I "get info" but it won't show up on the iPod itself. Anyone out there having the same problem?

I have had this problem since iOS4 and I recently (mostly) resolved it in iOS6.
1. First make sure you do not 'Sign In' into iTunes store.
2. I used playlists to resolve the issue. Create a playlist with one song, preferably one that does not have any album art.
3. Create another playlist with all the songs you want to add.
4. With your iTouch/iPhone attached open iTunes. Go to Device->Music. Under Sync Music:choose "Selected playlists,albums and genres". Choose the one song playlist from those shown. Click on the Sync(Apply) button. This will delete all of the songs.
5. Once the deletion is complete choose the playlist with all the songs. Click on the Apply(Sync)button. This will install all the songs again and with album artwork.
6. Once all the songs have been installed click on all the playlists that you want to add (no new songs) and click on the Sync(Apply) button again.
You should now have your songs with album artwork and playlists installed. Hope this helps. The song in the one song playlist won't have any artwork even if it is included. There were some albums whose artwork were not installed. I had a 95% success rate. As I said, it mostly solves the problem for me.

Album Artwork doesn't show up in vertical mode but does in Coverflow

I have an iPod Touch 4g and im running the newest version of iOS, 4.3.3, and the newest version of iTunes. Also running OS X Lion 10.7. The album artwork doesn't show up in vertical mode but does in Coverflow. Any suggestions on how to fix this?

Did you already try to activate the artwork visualization in iPod?

Album artwork doesn't show up on ipod

My album artwork doesn't show up for songs that i currently just burned off a cd. it shows up on itunes but not on my ipod

Hey there,
Make sure that you have "Include Album Artwork" checked under the Music tab screen that you can access when you plug your iPod in. See if that helps.

Album artwork does not show on iphone 4

Does anyone have any solutions of why when you sync your iphone 4 the album artwork does not show in your play lists? This has happened since I have updated to the ISO.5.0.1? Any ideas? Thanks.

Which version of Edge are you using?
Please update to the latest version of Edge which is 2014.1.1 if it's not already, and then try to reproduce this issue.

Is there a way to browse all "poster frames"/"album artwork" for TV Shows?

Here's the scenario...
I have a LOT of old cartoon shows in my iTunes collection, and I have them tagged and sorted as "TV Shows". Unfortunately, when browsing the collection using "Album View", iTunes only shows me ONE poster frame for the entire season.
This might be fine for some people, but not for me with regards to my collection of old cartoons, because I want each individual show to have its own poster frame that shows the title of that particular episode.
Yes, I know I can do that by playing the clip, stopping at it the title frame, right-clicking and selecting "Set Poster Frame".
That's not the issue though. The issue is that I (currently) have more than 2,000 shows in my collection and it understandably takes a long time to manually set the poster-frames for all of them. So I do a whole bunch every so often when I have the time to do so, and then wait a long time before I get round to doing some more.
Getting on to what the actual issue is though, it's that when using the "Album View" I cannot see the individual per-episode poster-frames of all my separate shows, and so I cannot see what I have artworked so far and what I have not.
So what I'm asking really is, does anyone know of any alternative ways (3rd-party apps) to at least VIEW (in some kind of "browse" mode), if not edit, individual TV Shows poster frames?
By the way, I know that converting the TV Shows to Movies will show me individual poster-frames, but that will kill all the hard work I've put into tagging the shows names, episodes, seasons, etc.
If I'm not making sense here, ask me for clarification on anything.
I'm using the latest versions of iTunes, and the Mac OS, on Intel, etc.

You won't be able to have a page showing 24 charts per host.
I really think that it is a bad idea to create a group per host, just to have the ability to add many charts.
The maintenance effort will be a big penalty.

Updated to iTunes 7 - artwork no longer shows on ipod

After upgradeing to iTunes 7 and firmware upgrade to 1.2 on my 60gb video ipod, I no longer see artwork on my ipod. In fact, everything was pretty messed up, so I restored my ipod, but retained the 1.2 firmware version and iTunes 7 on my PC (Win XP Pro).
I've now added some of my music back onto the ipod, and I've added some artwork and it all shows up correctly in iTunes, but doesn't show up at all on my ipod.
The only clue I have is an error I get when I enable the option to "Show artwork on the ipod" (in the Music tab) and hit Apply. I do not get the error when I uncheck this option and hit Apply. The error is "An Unknown Error has Occurred (-50)". I have spent the last 2 days searching the apple site as well as others but can't find anything with the (-50) error having to do with enabling artwork on the ipod.
I then thought that maybe one or more of my artwork .jpg files might be invalid or something, so I used iTunes to remove all of the artwork from every music file on my ipod, but I continue to get the same error everytime I try to set the option to enable artwork on my ipod.
I have to wonder if possibly there is something else going on here. I figured that after restoring my ipod back to factory and loading only a few of my music files back on, that the problem would resolve itself, but apparently it must be a bug in iTunes 7 or something else. I'm not doing anything I didin't do with iTunes 6.x and I've never had any problems seeing my album artwork on my ipod before.
Does anyone know what is going on?? I'm stumped.
Thanks

- See:
iPod touch: Hardware troubleshooting
iPhone and iPod touch: Charging the battery
- Try another cable. iOS 7 made the iPod/computer more sensiteve to cable problems
- Inspect the dock connector on the iPod for bent or missing contacts, foreign material, corroded contacts, broken, missing or cracked plastic.
- Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store.

ITunes 10, album artwork won't show on ipod 'selected item'

The songs on my computer display album artwork fine, but on my iPod (Classic) it only displays the 'Now Playing' artwork. If I set it to show 'Selected Item' it will only show the artwork of the song playing, if it's selected. It won't show album artwork of any other songs that I select, instead it shows the 'Drag Artwork Here' image, even when the songs already have artwork.
The artwork shows up fine when I'm playing songs on my ipod, or if I click 'Get Info', but it just won't show up in the side bar. I've tried unistalling and reinstalling iTunes and it didn't make a difference. I can't restore my ipod to factory settings because a lot of the music I have isn't backed up. Is there anything I can do?

Strangely I was able to find help myself. I checked one box under the settings that said something like "show album artwork". Strange because it was unchecked before, I had never checked it myself and previously all the artwork was visible properly...
When I clicked that checkbox, to my horror iTunes said something to the effect of "Deleting artwork from 'iPod'". After that it went for a long time into a "Optimizing artwork for 'iPod'" and after that wait all the artwork is shown properly. I wonder what that did...?

Is side panel album artwork no longer visible in iTunes 11.x?

I have been frustrated by the inability to view album artwork in the side panel, for songs selected in list view. In iTunes 10.x, it was possible to add album artwork for a song (or group of songs) by dragging to the box on the side panel. Is this a thing of the past we have to adjust to, or am I missing a simple check box feature that allows the album artwork to be displayed in the side panel?

I'm having this problem too. The artwork was there and it doesn't matter if it's been sync'd to the iphone or not. The artwork has just gone missing. I have noticed that it also does this for the artwork on my TV shows. The TV shows were not purchased on iTunes but imported over. The artwork was there to begin with.
I have also noticed that if I 'Get Info' for the file in iTunes on either music or TV shows then the artwork come back.
However, I don't want to have to do this for all the files that are missing. For Info, it seems that around 10% of my artwork has suddenly gone missing.

Some album artwork no longer displays

I recently started having a problem where some of my album artwork will not display on my Ipod. It does show on Itunes. Some are Itunes purchases and some not. I tried deselecting artwork and resyncing, then selecting it and resyncing again with no luck.

I removed all music from my ipod, then synced it back on, all 15 gig worth. That got artwork back, but some songs are showing artwork from different albums.

Album Artwork doesn't show

I moved my music from one computer to another and for some reason I am now unable to view my album artwork, even when I use get album artwork it still won't show.

First, create a new folder on your pc - I created one in my MY MUSIC folder and named it Album Covers. Nest, open your iTunes Library and reduce its size on the screen. Then open up Internet Explorer and go to Amazon.com. Reduce the size of that screen so that you can view both your iTunes Library and the Amazon website.
Once in Amazon, go to the music tab and then type in the name of the cd's in your iTunes library. When the cd cover comes up in Amazon, doubleclick it to view it in its own window, then right click the image and save it as the name of the cd in the album covers folder that you created. Once you have saved all of the album covers, close the internet explorer window and open the Album cover folder. Again, minimize its size so that you can see both your iTunes Library and the Album Covers folder.
Next, highlight all the songs in your iTunes library that correspond to a particular cd and then click and drag the album cover from the Album Covers folder to the album art box on the lower left corner of your iTunes Source window. The album art should appear in that box and it will appear on your iPod as well. Make sure to highlight all of the songs from each respective cd so that you don't have to click and drag the album cover for every song -- this will speed up the process tremendously.
Good luck!

Help! The album artwork is not showing on my ipod!

Hi!
I bought a ipod nano 3 days ago and i'm really excited about it! But I tried everything to put an artwork for my songs. I went on iTunes and set the artwork by going into file - get info, and I added the image file in the artwork section. And I clicked on the "display album artwork on your iPod" in iPod options. I really don't know what else to do. Please help me~! =*(

Hi,
Welcome to Apple Discussions
Check with this link to see if you've missed anything:
http://www.apple.com/support/ipod101/tunes/2/#4
Add Song Information, Lyrics, and Artwork to My Tunes
The artwork should then just sync with your nano. If it still doesn't work have a look at The 5 Rs: Reset, Retry, Restart, Reinstall & Restore to see if the problem is with the nano not iTunes.

Artwork no longer shows up after moving media to external hard drive

I recently, and successfully, moved all my media over to a continuously connected external hard drive. Although my media folder and all music, movies, and apps are there, No NEW art work downloads when I buy a new movie or song. I've also noticed that, under the old iTnes folder there are still folders there for Album Artwork/Cache/Download. Should these also be moved over to the new drive or somehow linked in some way?

If you moved the iTunes folder to your external drive, you moved the iTunes library file - iTunes Library.itl, which is in that folder.
You need to tell iTunes where it is, start iTunes with the shift key held down and iTunes should ask you to choose a library.
