Not showing artwork

Hi since updating to a more recent version of i-tunes my ipod no longer shows album artwork, it will show artwork in thunmbnails but when i select full screen it's just an outine of a box where the artwork should be. Any one any ideas on how to fix it?

It's likely that the artwork cache is corrupted.
It's a simple fix by unchecking "display album artwork" in the music preferences section when your iPod is connected and click "apply". Then sync your iPod.
Then check "display album artwork" in the music preferences section when your iPod is connected and click "apply". Then sync your iPod again.
This should resync the album artwork to the iPod.
If this does not work, you might need to restore the iPod and reload the songs in order to correct this error.
See: How to restore the iPod to factory settings.

Favorite Podcasts not showing artwork

In the My Favorite Podcast, the Artwork is not showing, just the generic image. How can I get them back without have remove them all from my favorite list and re-adding them.

Same issue here. It happened a couple of weeks ago and I removed them and then had to go find them all again. I also have one that when clicked on says "The item you have requested is not available". So I am unable to remove this blank image from my Favorites. I think this is a serious bug. I hope Apple will bring a fix. I sure do not want to do a factory reset and sync all my stuff again just to remove this blank icon that leads no where. If anyone finds a fix other than starting over please let me know.

Apple TV 2nd Gen not showing artwork correctly

I couldn't find a post on this.
My Apple TV shows the same artwork for every show within a "show" even though the show may have unique artwork. Why wouldn't it show the artwork for a given show instead of making them all the same?

Weird, didn't for me. I marked .m4v files as TV Shows (i.e. Curious George) then gave them their own unique artwork so the kids could visually identify them. They would just got to the TV section of Apple TV, choose curious George, then choose the show with the artwork they wanted. This Apple TV does NOT do that for me.
if each episode happened to be a different "season" then it would show the different artwork.
however if each episode was part of the same season, then the appletv only shows the artwork that is contained in the first episode of the season.
this has certainly been the case for me on all 3 appletv's i have, and the new appletv is not doing anything different in terms of artwork that the old one did.

ITunes Mini Player Does not show artwork

I have 100% of my music tagged with album art.
Album art shows 100% of the time in every other possible place in iTunes - including mini player next up.
When I look at mini player history, album art is missing 99% of the time.
Anybody have the fix?

I also find what Apple has done to be a huge step backwards.
Apple seems to be in the dark regarding the user experience - seemingly favoring form over function. I almost feel they are trying to just make things look pretty to please users in store but leaving real users left out to dry in regards to features and smart interface design.
The mini player is my primary interface for using iTunes - now this "upgrade" omits the playhead, time elapsed and remaining, volume controls (at a glance), full playback details, etc. How is this at all an improvement?
I suppose if making the interface "clean" - yeah - it's a home run. So pretty. So useless. Great job!
I said the same regarding Quicktime. I still use Quicktime 7 Pro (!!!!) over Quicktime for OSX because it has full controls, easy edit features (compared to the simplistic garbage of the new player) and most importantly - does not have movie controls overlaying my movie!!!
I know that's a tangent - but let's have a return to controls that sit below the movie as opposed to over it.
Apple, I truly love your products and own a significant amount of your gear - but you really need to sort out the user experience.
Cheers!

Favourite podcasts not showing artwork

i rebooted my atv (v2).... now my favourite podcasts won't show the "artwork".. just the default generic icon.
the were showing fine before i rebooted.. any ideas how to get the back ?

I'm having this problem too. Sure, you can re-add each Favourite Podcast, but what's to say the Apple TV won't forget the Favourite Podcast artwork again? Why did it forget it the first time?
Perhaps it forgets the Favourite Podcast artwork if you turn the Apple TV off at the wall? Some would say don't turn it off at the wall, but it's the only way to make it usable again, whenever the Apple TV freezes up.

Why does my library not show artwork in the bottom left hand corner anymore?

I have updated iTunes to the new version, but cannot find the settings to ensure the artwork for the music you are listenning too is shown in the bottom left hand corner. Have iTunes removed this feature?

None of us users here can tell you what Apple will do. Apple will examine your phone and if a hardware defect is determined, your phone will be replaced free under warranty.

ITunes not showing artwork

For some reason, when I opened iTunes recently, the following message appears in the artwork carousel: "iTunes is unable to browse album covers on this computer."
The computer is a laptop replacement for my desktop at work and all software etc. has been replicated here. When I first started iTunes on the new laptop, the artwork displayed as normal. Then, one day last week, I got the above message.
I just purchased an iPod Classic and all the artwork seems to have synced with the device, but I still cannot see it in iTunes.
Any ideas?
Thanks and Happy New Year!

Not showing album artwork

my ipod nano 7th gen is not showing artwork despite it's all shown in my itunes. how do i get it seen on the ipod?

Mac users use this little program: "Coverseverywhere" to be found here: http://code.google.com/p/coverseverywhere/
It will convert any iTunes albumart Mp3 such that the album art is seen by almost any player, including Nokia Symbian phones like the N78 N97 and more.
Just point it at the iTunes music files or directories you want to convert (this could be your whole library!) and it shows up on your Nokia. Ofcourse you have to reload your music to your phone. On Mac's this is easiest done troug Nokia's Multimedia Transfer program. http://www.apple.com/downloads/macosx/drivers/nokiamultimediatransfer.html
You must have the album art allready embedded in your Mp3's for this to work.
In iTunes this means copying the albumart from any source and opening the album or track with "Command-I" or right clicking on "Info". Then you paste the art into the illustration window.
This little program is a small gem. Works like a charm!

Ipod not showing art

So my ipod nano is not showing artwork, but it is on itunes.
There were instructions on how to enable ipod artwork on the mac forums but I couldn't seem to find the ipod settings button that was talked about.
Any help is welcom, thanks

I had that problem with a lot of my music (not showing art) and I had to do a reset thru' itunes for a different reason (was scared Id lose it all) and actually It fixed the problem I reset for with the bonus of all my album artwork appearing and being able to be viewed in turned or regular position too.
Im saying the reset in itunes of ipod fixed a lot of issues and my ipod worked better after. (it had been updated before just not reset).
You have to let it reload it all after but it asks if you want it too and I let it. I suppose if you have files that are no longer on your pc on your ipod youll lose those.

Artwork not showing up in iTunes?

Hey everyone,
I just submitted a podcast for approval last night and it was approved this morning. Most of the information is showing correctly in the iTunes store, but the 300X300 jpg image I set up in libsyn is not showing as album artwork in the store yet. Also, the file will play streaming, but will not download to completion to my account.
Are these issues something that's typical of a new podcast? I've checked out my feed in RSS feed validator and everything checks out.

Thank you for any advice you can provide.

Since writing the above I've spent a few minutes playing about with iWeb. When you create a podcast, and click on the main podcast page (rather than the episodes) you should see a placeholder for the description and for an image in the top section (above the episode listing). Dragging a suitable image into the placeholder space did in my case create the correct 'itunes:image' tag required for iTunes to display it on the Store page.
You have an image there, so you have evidently done this. However I notice that it's a .png - in theory iTunes should accept both jpegs and pngs; your png contains an alpha channel so I wondered whether iWeb was baulking at it and not creating the tag.
Subject to any suggestions you get if you post in the iWeb forum, I can only suggest that you try replacing the existing image with a jpeg, which ideally should be 600x600px (though iWeb may limit you as to that).
If you do this, it may take some time for iTunes to update - new episodes normally appear in 1-2 days, but for some reason images can take a lot longer.

My podcast artwork is not showing in the iTunes store or in the Podcasts app

My podcast, the Legal Seagull, was recently posted to iTunes. The problem is that the artwork is not showing in the iTunes store or on the iPhone's Podcasts app. Once you actually download the episodes, the image does appear.
I verified that my image is 1400 X 1400; however, it does appear to be around 700kb. I have seen some posts about how you should try to keep it under 500kb, but I haven't seen anything official from Apple to that effect.
I note that there is a man out there called Roger Wilmut, who is extremely knowledgable about this issue and has responded to many similar questions. Mr. Wilmut, if you are out there, could you please advise whether my feed is set up correctly? If it is just a waiting process, I'm fine with that- I just want to make sure that I've set everything correctly on my end.

Thanks!

OK, looks like the problem has resolved! All it took was a few days of waiting patiently

I have several albums in my library that do not show the album artwork. It states it is not available in the iTunes store. In the past I could copy and past album artwork.

I have Windows 7 on my laptop and the latest version of iTunes. I have several albums in my library that do not show the album artwork. iTunes states that it is not available, even though the album is available on iTunes. In the past, I could copy album artwork and then paste it on my albums in iTunes. In the lates version of iTunes, a past option does not seem to be available.

JPGronek,
There are 3 ways to get custom art into the Artwork box:
copy/paste
drag-n-drop
Add from a file location.
In various iTunes releases, it is common that one of the the three is broken. Try one of the others.

Artwork not showing up in track info

I upgraded to iTunes 6 yesterday, from iTunes 5. And now my artwork does not show up under the summary tab when I do a "Get Info" on a song. It does not show up under the "Artwork" tab either. However, when I play the song, the artwork is displayed in the box in the bottom left corner. And on my iPod, the artwork is also displayed. Anybody experienced anything similar?
There has been a similar request on the forum before, but it didn't give any answer:
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=822632

I had just defragged my hard drive before I noticed this problem, could there be a connection?
Doesn't seem very likely that there is any connection, no. artwork is stored inside the file's tag itself, it's part of the music file, so defragging wouldn't make any difference, really.
And it reads the artwork from the same place for both that bottom left corner thing and for the artwork tab in Get Info. So I find it very odd that you'd see it in one place but not the other.
There have been cases where having outdated DirectX and/or video drivers will cause things to look weird (disappear rating stars, etc) in the dialog boxes but okay in the main iTunes application. You might try upgrading your video drivers and/or reinstalling the latest DirectX (9.0c, I believe).

My podcast artwork is not showing up... please help!

Hi there. I have submitted my podcast to iTunes and received the email almost a week ago that it was accepted. It is showing up in iTunes, but the artwork is not showing up and I have no clue what to do to make it show up properly.
Here is my xml feed link:
http://www.pastor2youth.com/videos/Fearfully_and_Wonderfully_Made.xml
I would GREATLY appreciate any help that anyone could give me on this as I have exhausted everything I know to do to try and get the artwork to show up.
Thanks!!!

The image is correctly referenced in the feed, and there is a file at that address. It's not unusual for it to take several days after a podcast first appears in the Store before the image appears, so it's just a matter of waiting.

Podcast Artwork in iTunes Not Showing Up

Has this happened to anyone else? I have a Mac and when I try and download a few different podcasts the Artwork does not show up. I can deleteand redownload all I want, it does not show up. I've had this with a few Podcasts. When I sync it to my iPhone or iPod, still it doesn't show up.

The artwork which sometimes appears for individual episodes has to be actually embedded in the media file and is not related to the image which appears on the Store page (which is referenced in the feed). Many podcasters don't bother to include these embedded images, or may not realise that they can, in which case no image will appear.
There is nothing to stop you copying the artwork from the Store page and adding it to each episode using the File>Get Into pane, if you really want to take the trouble.
