Nokia N97 No Album Artwork

I'm having probs with my new N97, I cannot get any album artwork on the phone.
I've tried using Nokia Music, spent ages ensuring all artwork was correct, transferred to phone from within Nokia Music no problem but there's no artwork in playback.
I've also tried transferring music across using WMP11, again transfers music no problem but no artwork.
Any ideas what I'm doing wrong? Does the phone actually display artwork?

P.S. When I view the contents of my phone from Nokia Music, it's all there with artwork, just no artwork when play through phone.

Nokia n97 photo album problem.

Ok I just notice that not all my pictures that I had taken is loaded in the photo album. But when i downloaded the photo viwer on ovi all the photos I had taken with the n97 is on there. But on the Nokia photo viewer its missing some pictures. Does anyone else have this problem?

I just had this happen... I'd been playing about and then noticed none of my more recent shots had appeared.
I tried telling it to save to c:, d: (mass) and my microSD on e:
Still couldn't see anything except one I took earlier, and the 98 from the N95 in the downloads (they were on the microSD).
After some digging, I found all the images using the file manager. They were where they should be \images\camera on all 3 drives (exactly where I had told them to be).
I removed the microSD and cleared all the camera folders using the file manager, so in theory I had no pictures.
The photos app still said 1... It couldn't show me a thumbnail anymore, and trying to delete it gave a general system error.
Still couldn't view any new pictures.
So using the file manager I went into d: (mass storage) and told it to format it.
Once it had finished the photo app showed 0 images! Yay!
I then took a photo, and it appeared!
Success.
As to the cause, well the only thing I did do earlier was turn on the GPS recording of images. I'm not sure if this is a red herring, but apart from that I hadn't done anything.
I wish I knew where the image database was as that must be getting corrupted.

Album Artwork Nokia 5800

Hi,
I've just bought the Nokia 5800 Xpresmusic and I have a problem with transferring my album artwork along with my music. I used Bluetooth, and the music plays great - but the album artwork doesn't display despite being attached by iTunes.
I was wondering if anybody knew how to display the artwork?

I was using Nokia Music software most of the time and also having the same problem initially. But if reload the Album art again, it will update to all track and my album art will show in Nokia 5800 when play.
1) Launch Nokia Music in PC
2) Select "Album" tab at top
3) Right click on the album - "Edit Album Detail" > Album Art > Update album art
4) OK
Transfer using Nokia Music or PC suite to Nokia 5800.
Good luck
to makising: Yes read the thread!

Nokia N95 8GB Album Art and Album Folders Issue

I have been hunting for for a resolution for two issues with the N95 8GB Media Player all over the web.
1. Adding artwork (CD Covers) to audio tracks (or albums) seems to be at best hit and miss. Most of the time it just does not work.
2. Deleting an album delete all the tracks but deleting the album folder seems almost impossible.
Well this weekend I decided to try to solve this and I think I may have hit upon a solution.
Since so may people have the same problem I thought it worth repeating. I would stress this has not been exhaustively tested but it does work reliably so far.
I am using Nokia Music Manager 2.0. The fix is simply to convert the files to AAC rather than to M4A (which is the default). After this simple change everythig worked find for me. I can add and delete albums from Nokia Music Manager 2.0 (don't forget to refresh on the phone afterwards) AND reliably add Album Artwork.
So here is how I have been working.
1. Set the conversion format to AAC. I have been using 'Ultra high' quality setting. Options Menu >> Setting >> Conversion Tab.
2. Next put in a CD, select all the tracks and choose copy to my collection.
3. While this is going on I find the artwork on the Web. A simple Google Image search with the album title and artists last name / band name seems pretty 100% to get the on the first page. Download image to My Documents / My Pictures.
4. Once the CD Rip is complete they will all appear in My Collection. I select all the tracks in my collection for the album in question, and then right click on one of them and select Edit.
5. I then attach the Album Artwork by clicking on the blue folder and choosing it from my, MY Pictures folder.
6. Finally select Copy to Phone from the File Menu.
This has worked for me so far 100% and I have done 20 or so albums.
NOTES:
To get Nokia Music Manager 2.0 I uninstalled the version of Nokia Phone Suite that came with my phone and went to
http://europe.nokia.com/A4144905I (or seach Google for "nokia phone suite"
I chose the N95 8GB downloaded and installed. At some point shortly after install Phone Suite informed me that there were updates available and Nokia Music Manager 2.0 was one of these.
I was originaly using this and suffered all the problems you guys have. After searching the web and finding no solution I decided to do some experimenting.
Hope all this helps.
PS If you need to delete all your legacy album folders, this is the fix I found on this same site. You can do this at any time.
1. Enable the option to be able to see Hidden Files and Folders in your Windows Explorer.
2. Connect your n95 8gb to your computer and choose data transfer mode.
3. Go to My COmputer >> Nokia Phone Browser >> Nokia N95 8GB >> Memory Card E:
3. If you have selected Show Hidden Files and Folders (see 1) you should see a folder called Private.
4. In the Private folder you need to delete the contednts of three folders
\private\101FFC31 (mpxv1.mpd and pcv5.mpd)
\private\101f8857\Cache
\private\101ffca9
In all the 3 folders delete all the files Not the FOLDER
Next time you restart the music player it will rebuild the indexes without the deleted albums folders.
Hope this helps someone. It restored my sanity.

Album Art
Basically there are two methods
Method 1.
You do it on the phone. Load the album art pictures to the memory card. (Must be JPEG NOT BMP)
Load also the music files.
Open Music application in the phone. Open an album then select Options->Album art then Options-> Add, browse for the picture and select Ok.
Repeat for each ALBUM
Method 2.
You do it on the PC.
Get a Tag editing software like Tag&Rename, WINAMP, etc.
Edit the files Metadata to include Album Art picutres (again they should be jpeg and also they should be set as Cover Front).
Transfer the files that have Album Art using File transfer (usb mass storage) don't use MTP or PC Suite as these methods may convert the files and Album Art will be lost.
Or you can continue using your Method

How is album artwork stored?

I havet updated the artwork of some albums in my Nokia Suite (NS) music library by simply dragging the jpg-file from Windows Explorer and dropping it into NS. It works fine but what I'd like to know is where, and how, does NS store the information about the art.
Does NS store detailed info about the art, or only a link to where the jpg-file is stored? Or does NS use any other mechanism to store album artwork?
Kind regards. / Jan Altena. /

I am having a similar issue with iTunes losing my album artwork. Maybe someone out there can help.
My Mac froze up on me about two hours ago--every program, every files, spinning ball of death, etc. for 20 min. (I had iTunes and numerous other programs up and running.) I had to manually shut the computer down by holding the power button down on the tower. After waiting for half an hour, I started it back up and then opened iTunes. Before it opened completely, it went through some sort of process, finding files, library, something. When it was totally up, half of my album artwork was missing (all my music was there though). I made sure in Preferences that iTunes was directed to the correct location, which is an external drive.
So, what can I do? I don't want to use the Advanced -> Get Album Artwork option because it has gotten the wrong artwork in the past. Many of the albums I had to search for on line and then drop into iTunes. How can I find out if the artwork is still there? I mean, it should be, right?

OVi Suite Album Artwork Problem

I have installed Ivi suite 3.0.0.250 and I am aslo running I,Tunes version 10 which stores all my music.. I have changed the music folder option in Ovi Suite to use the I.Tines folder and aslo instructed Ovi to watch the I tunes music folder for any new changes.
Whilst Ovi suite has detected and shows all the music from itunes it has not brought over all the album artwork. this appears to be completly random. There is (as far as i can see) no wayof adding the missing artwork in the ovi suite.The artwork shows perfectly in I Tunes and on my I Pod
I have deleted all 28000+ tracks once and tried again but it has made no difference.
I would like to use Ovi rather than itunes to create and sync a playlist to my Nokia C7, but will not do so whilst this problem persists.
I run windows xp, I Tunes Version 10 and Ovi suite 3.0.0.250

Hi, i have a C7 and when i downloaded music files to it using Ovi Suite none of the album art appeared on the phone. I replaced a N85 with this phone and on the N85 there is an option to replace the album art with any image.The C7 doesn't seem to have this option. Anyway after trying a few things i still could not get any artwork on the phone so i installed Ovi Player and used this program to download the music to the phone and it worked perfectly with all the proper artwork installed. You could try this program and seeing that you have a lot of music it might be better for you. All the best

Wrong album artwork syncing to iPhone

on my Mac and from what I've seen on my iPad as well the right album artwork displays but on my iPhone it seems to like mix up the artwork on some songs, some downloaded from iTunes, some ripped from a CD, like I might have a song from Adele but on the iPod and also on the lock screen it will show maybe the artwork of Jack Johnson! I mean its not a big deal but does anyone know how to fix this?
Thank you

It gives you the ability to use multiple computers to manually add your own music, i.e. music you have legitimately acquired, to your iPod. For example, I have 2 computers, I manually manage my music on my iPod Classic so I can hook it up to my MacBook Pro and put songs on that I don't have on my Mac Pro.
I also has a car that will go much faster than the speed limit. Just because it gives me that ability does not allow me to drive 120 mph on a local street.

Album artwork is in iTunes but it does not show up on my iPhone, how do I fix this?

I like to have all my albums have artwork so on my iTunes I made sure that they do. Everyone of my albums have artwork in iTunes but when i sync my iPhone none of them show up.

This same thing happened to me, so I plugged my iphone into the computer and I unchecked all the songs so it deleted from my phone and then i rechecked sync music back to the phone and all the album artwork were there.

ITunes keeps resetting and asking me if I want to download album artwork!

Hi, it seems as though every time I open iTunes these days the stupid window pops up asking if I want it to automatically download album artwork. I click "No, blah blah blah." And then iTunes opens. At the left is the "Download" option thing (in green under the "Store" section), when I click it, a window pops up saying "Would you like iTunes to check if you have any unfinished downloads?" or something like that. I say, again (and of course) "No."
The "Download" button subsequently goes away and that is all that happens. But it happens repeatedly, every time I open the program! Obviously these settings are not saving--and it seems to be even more of a fundamental problem than that, perhaps some file is corrupted somewhere.
Any thoughts?

Same here. And it doesn't seem to matter which way
you answer the question, it just keeps asking.
HOWEVER -- I had not seen this post before I restored 6:

If anyone could report if this solves the "won't remember the download art" setting, please let us know.

How Can I sync iTunes album artwork with album folders on my Mac

Small Issue,
I just got a new macbook pro and uploaded copied the iTunes music folder from my PC, to an external hard drive then to the "music" folder in the Finder on my Mac. I then went into iTunes and added my library via the "add music" link (or something like that)
All the music upload and most of the album artwork was missing. I clicked "Get Album Artwork" and it replaced most of the album artwork
Here is the issue I need help with...
Some of the albums, which have album artwork inside iTunes, do not have album artwork if I go to the album folder in the finder. Is there anyway to get this artwork to sync up with the folder?
I ask because, I am kinda anal and like the artwork to show up if I play a song from the spotlight (I like playing music that way)
Am I going to have to manually add the album artwork into the finder folders?

Hi bill,
Here's an Apple Support article that tells you how to restore your IOS device from a previous backup on iTunes:

My album artwork does not match the song in my playlists

After making playlists with music purchased from itunes in my music app, the art work does not match the title of the song / album. How can I fix this problem?

Hi freezerman84,
Thanks for the question. I understand you are experiencing issues with Album Artwork on your iPhone 5. To troubleshoot this issue, it may be best to completely resync your iPhone with iTunes. To do so, uncheck the "Sync Music" checkbox, and apply the changes (so there is ultimately no music syncing to your iPhone).
Once you have done that, recheck the "Sync Music" checkbox, and apply the changes. This will instruct iTunes to completely remove all music from your iPhone, and then copy the files once more. If you have a large amount of music, this initial sync may take a while.
If the above does not resolve your issue, it may be necessary to restore your iPhone:

Album artwork.... just can't get it to work right.

Hello.
I've searched google, I've searched this support community and I've just not been able to come up with an answer.
My album artwork just won't stay put. Some of my albums have artwork and some don't. I've done the "right click" and "get album art work". I've downloaded an app to find art work for the drag and drop method into the "Now Playing" window but it just gets eaten by Itunes (it appears in the window and magically disappears). I've even done the "get info" on multiple tracks and drag and drop into the "artwork" window of the info pane and while it sticks and stays put nothing happens when I press ok only to reopen the info pane ( "get info" on multiple tracks) and it's as if I've done absolutely nothing. My permissions are fine. My music files are a mixed bunch of MP3 and WAV but this isn't a factor as some MP3's have artwork and some don't, as well as my WAV's.
I've searched in and out, high and low but I've just not come up with anything that gets this in order. The problem isn't getting the artwork it's getting Itunes (10.5.1) to attach it to the albums and display it. My Mac OS X is Lion 10.7.2. Can anyone help?
Thanking you before hand.

Looks like it does have something to do with WAV format. I got the missing artwork on the MP3's working (by simply dragging and dropping...don't know how that didn't work before) but it's true that the WAV format does not support artwork (as stated several time here in this support community). What threw a brick in all my thinking is that some of my WAV's do have artwork. After some searching though I deduced that the WAV's with artwork showing are albums you can obtain from the itunes store while those that you can't don't show. Even some of the albums that I I copied in WAV that you can obtain from the Itunes store but have minor differences don't show artwork (eg. itunes sells the extended track album while i have the original length album)
I find this rather silly to be honest since there is a work around. I guess the question now is, where is itunes storing the artwork for the WAV files that do show artwork and can I tap into that so it does show for those WAV's missing the artwork?

Can't manually add album artwork through iTunes 10.5 on an iPhone 4s

Ok, heres the deal - (and this is a weird one)
I have iTunes 10.5, windows xp and a new iPhone 4s. I am missing multiple album covers so I just find high-res ones on google and save them in preparation of manually adding them to the album via iTunes. The way I do this (and have always done this) is by highlighting the whole album, right clicking and going to 'get info'. Then I go the bottom right corner where it says "Artwork" and double click to open the folder of all my highres album covers. I then choose the correct album and click on 'open'. The artwork box stays BLANK no matter how many times I choose a cover and open it. So then I wait for it to sync the non-cover to the iphone...which doesnt work because its not syncing anything but it thinks it is. I then have to DO THE PROCESS ALL OVER AGAIN to make it work. Generally it finally takes the album cover after the 2nd time. Generally.
Now heres the thing, sometimes it just hangs up on the title at the top of the screen, the status bar. It just says "Updating Files On 'Derek's iPhone' ("preparing to update" is the sub text) with the little candycane status bar running across. It may do this and hang for a good 3 minutes EACH TIME!
So I have to go through multiple albums, one by one, manually syncing album covers 2 times in a row since it never works the first time and hope that it doesnt hang too long and just time out, which it has done multiple times before. If it doesnt work the first 2 times, then I'll try 3 or 4 times but then it will just time out, not saying any error or anything but it just wont transfer the album artwork. I'll look at my phone and the cover is still blank!
The only way around this, that I've found, is quit iTunes and unplug the phone and start the whole process over again for EVERY. ALBUM. and btw, I have about 40 albums to do this to.
So all this music came from cd's a while ago, I just dont want to pay for the iTunes version JUST to get the album cover since I already have the music.
At this rate, it would take me a few months of non-stop syncing to finish.
And on top of THAT, a few weeks back I made some serious headway on this and almost got finished to the "S" albums (listed alphabetically), checked my phone, all the covers were there. Then about a week later, plugged my phone back in and noticed that AAAALLLL the work I did in the past was GONE! I had to start over from the "G" albums. And thats where I'm at now...
Please help
P.S. - Of course I've already tried "get album artwork"..duh, it doesnt work. It doesnt get the right covers or horrible versions or low res or MOST times, it just says it can't find any

I am currently having the same problem. I have an ipod touch and yesterday I finally updated to 10.5. For starters, after the update, all of the songs were gone, so I manually had to re-add them. I have about 5 CD albums on my PC that I ripepd and then added to my ipod, and about 3/5 I never had album cover issues with. But upon plugging in my ipod again today, the album covers were gone for ALL of the CDs. On top of that, when I manually change the "info" on some songs, it is updated on itunes, but not on my Ipod!

I just downloaded the new version of iTunes, but I haven't been able to put new album artwork on my albums. Every time I try, the picture I put doesn't show up. Please help!

Usually, when I put album artwork, I go to get info for the whole album and copy and paste an image I get off the Internet. But every time I do this, all that shows up is the color black! I have no idea what to do. Please help.

It's a bug with iTunes 10.4.0.80. If you copy and paste from some web browsers or an image editor then iTunes pastes in a transparent image of the same dimensions. This shows up black in the artwork panel at the bottom left or white in the get info art viewer.
If you work with an image file stored on your computer you will get better results. Use the artwork box on the Info tab of the Get Info. dialog for multiple tracks to replace all existing images. With a single track you will need to delete the existing corrupt images from the Artwork tab first.
