NEED 2 GET ALBUM ART ON IPOD USINING ITUNES 7

don't know how to update album art on ipod but
library art is updated

The next time you connect your iPod, and you are automatically syncing, the iPod will be updated with that information. If you are manually managing the songs on the iPod you may need to re-add them.
In another thread when the songs were not loading the artwork, it was resolved by unchecking the album art option, and rechecking it.
Your iPod needs to be one with a Color Display to support artwork. This includes iPod Photo, iPod w/Color Display, iPod 5G, or iPod Nano.

Can't get album art on ipod classic since iTunes 9

Hi there,
I have an 80GB iPod and since iTunes 9 i've had artwork issues.
On the first sync i did since iTunes 9 the artwork got mixed up on many songs (i.e. while playing one song it would show the album art for a different song on the ipod).
So I re-formatted the iPod and re-synched everything to it (which took hours since I have almost all 80GB used). Now there is no artwork at all on the iPod and I can't figure out how to get it back! I see no option anywhere saying to sync album art as well as music, and I swear I saw it in a previous iTunes.
The artwork is definitely in iTunes and definitely written into the ID3 tags of the songs so I'm not sure how to fix this, any ideas?
Thank you!

same experience here, looks like itunes 9 doesn't edit id3 tags for album artwork coz it has a separate cache or folders where artworks of the songs are stored. so when i play an mp3 in itunes it shows that it has an album artwork but it wont show up when i use to play the same file via wmp or winamp. as of now, the work around that i know of is to manually add the album artwork in ur ipod via itunes.

How to get album art on iPod?

How do you get a picture of the front of an album to come up on your iPod when you play that album? The computer I am loading the songs onto it with has no internet connection, however I do have another computer with iTunes also that does have a web connection (but no firewire, so I can't use it to upload the songs). Anyway, is there somewhere I can download the art for all the albums in my collection and then transfer that to the iTunes on my offline PC and get it to put that album art on the iPod 5G?
Thanks a lot in advance.

Here are a couple of methods.
First off, make sure you have "show album art" enabled in iPod options.  Go to Google Image Search and type in the artist/album name and click on search images.   Double click on a picture you like, then at the top of that page click on "see full size image".   When you get that image, simply copy/paste it into the space for album artwork in iTunes.   Make sure you select the album in the browser of iTunes before you copy/paste.   You'd be surprised what Google Images can bring up. There are literally millions, and even obscure album artwork can be found.
In the unlikely event that Google can’t find an image, you can also get artwork from Amazon.
If you’re happy using images from Amazon, and don’t want to copy/paste, then iTunes Art Importer is a nice free program to do it for you.
"however I do have another computer with iTunes also that does have a web connection (but no firewire, so I can't use it to upload the songs)"
Doesn't matter anyway since the iPod 5th gen (video) cannot transfer songs etc via firewire only USB.

How do I get album art to appear with iTunes Matched song?

I purchased an album from iTunes yesterday. I was already subscribed to iTunes match. One song from the album that I purchased has no album
art associated with it. How do I get the album art to show up? It doesn't appear on both my iPhone or iPad.
Any suggestions?

First, you have to embbed picture into mp3 file with idtag editors (tagalicious, musicbrainz picard, mp3tag, id3tag editor...).
Then you'll have to install at least Itunes 10.5.1(42), even if you're not using Itunes at all.
Albumarts will now appear in every folder from the finder.
I closed my topic because I solved it :

Is it the same for you ?

How come you need an iTunes Store account to get album art?

I have no problem with this, because I do have an account. But on my sister's computer, she can't get album art because she doesn't have an iTunes Store account. Mainly because you need a credit card to set one up, and she's only 10. She just uses iTunes to burn her CD's to play on her iPod, she's only 10, why does she need an account to get album art?

I don't think any of us can definitively answer this one since it is decided by somebody like iTunes marketing. However, Apple is a for-profit corporation. The album artwork download is definitely a service for customers, and maybe a free perk to potential customers. If you have that account you are just one tiny click away from making a purchase and don't even have time to have second thoughts that you might have if you had to enter a credit card number each time. Kind of like a store offering something free inside to get you to walk through the door.

ITunes 10.0.7.21 shows a white box instead of artwork for most of my albums. Many of these are albums I purchased on itunes. Also when I hit get album art it deleted the artwork it already had form many albums and says it cant find it.

OS is Windows 7
I updated iTunes the other day and I decided to run "get album art" and instead of finding artwork, it made some of the artwork I already had show up as white squares, or disapear entirely. The ones that are white squares show up under the get info, but not in itunes. I did click in view for show al artwork, no luck. Many of these albums I bought from iTunes. The ones that the artwork was deleted some albums I can buy on iTunes, but already owned, and iTunes found the artwork before, but now cannot. Some are albums that I spent many hours finding and adding the artwork myself. I am very frustrated. I cannot find the time to manually install artwork for thousands of songs.
My work computer is Windows 8, so I really don't want to hear windows vs OSX argument. My company won't switch to mac because you like it better, so I just need a solution to my issue. iTunes it has always worked better for me on my work PC than my macBook, I dont know why, but I don't take two laptops with me when I travel so I have my iTunes library on the PC that has to come with me. This is the first time an update has screwed things up for me.

Well my first guess was wrong. The line that failed is the one that writes out the image to disk. I've not revisited the code for that script for ages, but it seems I did add in an extra test for missing files a little while later, then forgot to upload the change. I can reproduce the error message if I deliberately rename a file to confuse iTunes so that seems the most likely reason for your problem with the script. I've uploaded a new build of CreateFolderArt which should work better.
See FindTracks for a tool to repair broken links. You should probably get that issue fixed first.
I know what SPSS stands for but that is all I know about it.

How To Get Album Art for my Songs?

Is there anyway that I can get album art for my songs, I tried the Get Albums from Itunes, but I need an account with a credit card, I have no way of getting that. is there any other ways I can get album pictures other than Doing it manually?

I bought iART

Fix/revert the way it gets album art?

I tag all my albums "(01) Debut", "(02) Second Album", etc.. so they're in chronological order.
Anyway, after upgrading to the latest iTunes (I think I had 8.0.1 or something), it no longer gets album art for them, unless I change the album title to "Debut" and "Second Album"
It worked in the last version I had, why did you change it when it worked fine? This always happens with iTunes, each version gets more and more bloated...
Another thing, why does it go A-Z and then 0-9? What on Earth is up with that?
Can you fix it plz? Thanks.

Thanks for the quick reply Chris.
If I did sort album by year, it wouldn't work on my iPod. As for previously getting artwork with the correct title and then changing it. When adding music to my library, I tag it all first, and then click get album artwork, which always worked fine before. Also, I've done a fresh install of Windows before, reinstalled iTunes and added all my music (tagged with (XX) at the beginning) iTunes would automatically get the artwork. Now it's missing the artwork for 197 albums, so I don't really feel like changing them all manually...I guess I could use an older version of iTunes, but is this likely to be fixed in the future, as I'd rather have an up-to-date version of the programs on my computer.
And I know it's done A-Z, 0-9 for a while now, but I thought while I was posting about this I might aswell ask.
Thanks again.

Best way to get album art

what is the best program to use for getting album art?

Oooorrrr, if you're referring to getting an album cover into your iTunes (and eventually into your iPod when adding songs)..Amazon or google as was suggested (you can also click on Images when Googling) click on the album cover, drag and drop into the "Drag Album Artwork Here" space of iTunes. You can probably use the same procedure if you have your own images you'd like to add to each album/song...

Can't get Album Art for CDs

I ripped a bunch of CDs to Windows Media Player and it got the album art for all of them. Then later I installed iTunes and it automatically converted the songs over to it from WMP, but iTunes did not get the album art and it says that it is not available when I click on "Get Album Art." What do I do?

Not a complete answer, but will get you most of the art work you need.
Find the album on the Internet. I usually try Amazon.com, puretracks.com, or any site that will let you right click and save the art work shown. Use the "Save As" and save it as a "jpg" file. Make sure you put it in a location, and give it a name you can find.
Open iTunes, find the album and right click on it. Click on "Get Info", go to the "Artwork" tab, and click on "Add". Brows to the location where you saved the artwork and add it.
If you have more that one song in the same album you can add the same artwork to each song by right clicking on the artwork just imported and selecting copy. Go to the next song's artwork and right click and select past.
Not the best, but after I find the album I can add the artwork to all the songs in an album in less that two minutes.
It is taking a little work, but I am slowly overcoming the stupidity of the Apple programmers who wrote iTunes. It is a fairly good program, but it could be much better if Apple would make it easier for users to submit suggestions, and if they incorporated the popular suggestions. Unfortunately Apple has always had an arrogant attitude and they are not likely to change any time soon.

Downloading album art to ipod

I have an ipod video 20 GB. I can get album art on to itunes with no problem, but I cannot get the image to appear on my ipod when the song plays. What am I doing wrong? Thanks.

Welcome to Apple discussions!
Make sure you have the preference enabled to view album art on your iPod. You have to connect the iPod to your computer and check the iPod preferences through iTunes.

Most albums missing album art on iPod Touch after updating to iOS 7

Hi there,
I updated my 5th-gen iPod Touch to iOS 7 yesterday.
As the activation servers were overloaded for most of the afternoon, the update failed for me and my iPod touch ended up wiped and in recovery mode.
I installed a blank iOS 7 and then restored my settings from the previous day's iCloud backup.
I then reuploaded all my music from iTunes to the iPod.
Most of the album art is missing from the iPod and it's making me very sad. All the album art is visible in iTunes, so this is rather confusing. There seems to be no consistency to it, between albums I bought on iTunes or albums I bought elsewhere and ripped to MP3 and added to my iTunes library, or albums for which I got the art directly from iTunes or by adding it myself.
I'm using a PC with Windows 8 and the latest version of iTunes, if this matters.
Any ideas?

That happens sometimes
Try:
- 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 all music and resync
- 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.
- Restore from backup. See:
iOS: How to back up
- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.

Get Album Art rant.

I am importing my CDs to Itunes on my new computer. I have it set so it always gets album art. Problem is sometimes it asks what CD version it is, and the options it shows me are the EXCACT same description. If I pick the wrong one, Itunes says it can't find the art or it gives me the totally wrong artwork.
Is there anyway to fix this? Why does'nt someone at Apple check this stuff.

When you are being asked why CD version it is it is asking so that it can match the CD to the metadata in the CDDB, which is a database of track listings. For iTunes to be able to download album art the details for the songs must match what is in the iTunes Store. If the album or artist is not an exact match it will not find the album art.
One thing you can do is to check for the album in the iTunes Store. If you can find it check to make sure the details are the same on the songs in your library. If not you will have to update the details to match before you can manually select Get Album Art from the pop-up menu when you right-click on the song(s).

Get Album Art: What Will Happen?

I have a very large iTunes music collection almost all of which album art.
I've always been afraid to use the "Get Album Art" function of iTunes because I assumed it would replace all my existing album art. Two questions:
1) Is this true?
2) Is there a way to make it get album art for only a single album rather than for the whole library?

It won't replace the artwork if you already have something there. If you ctrl-click on a song you have an option to get album artwork for that one song. or from the same menu you can go to 'Get Info' and there is an artwork that you can manually place the images into. hope that helps

Get album art criteria for download

Hi,
When I say "Get Album Art" in iTunes, for some albums it doesn't do anything. I check the iTunes store and they have the album but it won't download the artwork. I tried matching the album name to the exact same name but that doesn't solve the problem. I can't see anything else that is listed differently in my details from the iTunes version...
I really want that high quality art from iTunes.
Anyone know what iTunes searches for to get the artwork?
Thanks in advance.
Pete

In my experience, the album, artist and song names must exactly match the ones of the iTunes Store.
The song names are less important when you're trying to get artwork for an entire album.
Sometimes I notice some songs in my library that don't have the exact name of the one in the Store, but the artwork does show up in iTunes.
Hope this helps.
