Problem with showing mp3 album art in list view.

Hello.
I have litle problem with showing mp3 album artwork in list view.
In SNOW LEOPARD all work fine, and all mp3 files have album art's preview in list mode in finder.
But in LION i have only default preview mp3 icon.
Option "Show icon preview" is already on!

I have the fix!!!!
I have had the same issue ever since Lion. Its been very painful not having album art preview in finder or the play button when rollover the file for so many versions of OSX. Today I worked hard in trying to solve the problem since Applecare support hasn't helped much, all they did was tell me to bring the computer in. The other main reason I got so motivated to try and fix this is because the DJ app for Mac only reads album art from the finder even if iTunes can display the album art. The other reason that got me curious is that my friends macbook pro album art worked fine, so I cross checked with his computer until I figured out a few things that helped and ultimately fixed the issue. FINALLY!
My set up:
- I have my full iTunes library folder on my external as I have over 700GB of music.
- It includes all my database files in there, which is very important as I have many playlist settings from over 7 years of iTunes activity.
SOLUTION:
1. With every new computer I have purchased, I use to just pressed option on Mac and press iTunes to locate my folder (which I have said is located on my external drive).
2. I tried today to press option again BUT locate and selected the default library in the user/music folder of my internal drive (standard setting from Apple).
3. Miraculously, all the album art appeared in both my external drive library and also today's downloaded songs on my Macbook pro. Ofcourse with the new default location I don't have any songs or data.
4. So I tried to find a way to keep this library data on my internal drive since it can help the finder display all my files properly, yes even have the play on rollover button but as well link it back to my external drive with all my 700GB songs.
5. I then went into iTunes Preferences/Advance tab and in iTunes Media folder locationredirected the location to my external drive iTunes/ iTunes Media folder. If it asks to collate data, press NO.
6. Then I quit iTunes.
7. Next I copied the 4 files to my desktop from my external drive as I want to keep the data I have made with all my playlists etc. The four files are iTunes Library Extras.itdb ,iTunes Library Genius.itdb , iTunes Library.itl , iTunes Library.xml
8. I then went to my internal drive User/Music/Itunes/ and dragged these 4 files I copied from my external drive into here and making sure to REPLACE the four existing files already there.
9. Next open iTunes and you will find all your presettings appear with all your music linked to your external. What this does is keep the important library files on your internal drive (that somehow makes your finder files album art appear), BUT to read also all the music mp3 files located in the external drive (action from step 5)
Presto!! All your music files whether on internal drive or external all the album art has appeared.
Hope this helps!! Let me know if there are any other questions.
I am on 10.8.1 running retina macbook pro.

  • Missing Album Art in list view but present in coverflow

    After installing software update 3.1.2, some artwork is missing in the 'album list' view - a small white square appears instead.
    however, when you twist the Touch horizontally and view albums in coverflow, the same album artwworks are shown in the coverflow view.
    Anyone else come across this ?

    This is happening here to.
    There doesn't seem to be any logic to why this is happening. I tried completely re-syncing my music and some of the covers re-appeared, but then other ones that were previously present disappeared.
    Strange one.
    I may try a full restore, but I doubt it will work somehow....

  • Problem with CoverFlow and album art.

    Most of the albums in my cover flow show up properly with the artwork downloaded with the album or with artwork that I supplied.
    A few of the albums, however, show the art separately for each song in the album. For instance, one album with 17 songs in it shows up in Cover Flow as 17 albums with one song in each. Another shows up with the first and second songs in two separate albums and the rest of the songs in a third album, all with the same art.
    How can I get each album to show one time in Cover Flow, with all the songs for that album in that one album?

    This article has good examples of why that happens:

  • Hi! I´m having problems with showing video files in Qlab on my Macbook Air. A sound/video technician told me to "blow out" my Mac. Was told to use  cmd+ r  when restarting. Is this the right way?

    Hi! I´m having problems with showing video files in Qlab on my Macbook Air. It started suddenly. Consulted a sound/video technician who told me to "blow out" my Mac. Was told to use cmd+r  when restarting. Is this the right way to clean up my Mac? And is it likely that some kind of bug is causing problems for Qlab to show video files? I´ve already tried with a bunch of different video files and sometimes Qlab plays them and sometimes not. I need the Qlab playlist for a theatre show and only have a week until showtime so starting to really worry. Is there anyone out there who can help?

    Your Mac runs maintenance in the background for you.
    Command + R gives you access to restore, repair, or reformat the drive using OS X Recovery
    No idea why that was suggested.
    You may have a third party video player installed that's causing an incompatibility issue.
    Check these folders:
    /Library/Internet Plug-Ins/
    /Library/Input Methods/
    /Library/InputManagers/
    /Library/ScriptingAdditions
    ~/Library/Internet Plug-Ins/
    ~/Library/Input Methods/
    ~/Library/InputManagers/
    ~/Library/ScriptingAdditions
    The first four locations listed are in the root-level Library on your hard disk, not the user-level Library in your Home folder.The tilde (~) represents your Home folder.
    To access the Home folder in OS X Lion or Mountain Lion, open the Finder, hold the Option key, and chooseGo > Library.

  • Songs with the same album art not grouped together in iTunes for Windows

    Brand new iTunes user here - do not yet have an iPod! (Needed some music only on iTunes)
    When I first started up iTunes, it imported all of my music I already had on my computer. A few of them are soundtracks with different artists.
    When they are shown in the iTunes library, the soundtracks have been broken up by Artist instead of staying as a whole album. How do I get the songs back together as one album? I found the folder on my computer where they are stored and combined them there, but they are still separate in the iTunes library.
    Thanks from a total newbie!

    Mark the tracks on the album as "Part of a compilation" and fill in the Album Artist field as "Various Artists". Click on the first track of your album to highlight it, hold down the shift key and click on the last track to highlight everything in between. Right click on the selection and choose Get Info. You'll get a message asking if you want to edit multiple items, say yes. If you are using iTunes 8 in the box that opens go to the Options tab and change "part of a compilation" to Yes and choose OK.
    Also in your library click on the title bar of album column to bring all the tracks in the same album together. If you keep clicking in the title you can choose it to sort by Album, Album by Artist or Album by Year. Clicking on the little triangle on the right side of the column header changes the sort direction. Pointing up and the column is sorted in Ascending order (A to Z). Pointing down and the column is sorted in Descending order (Z to A).

  • We have problem with showing warnings "Inline with Field"s.

    We have problem with showing error messages "Inline with Field"s.
    1. We have a package ERROR, that collects all errors/warnings. It has a procedure PUT, that saves errors in the variables of the package.
    Package ERROR
    procedure put(ptable in varchar2, pcolumn in varchar2, pcode in varchar2, pmsg in varchar2);
    end;
    2. We have a database table. Its values are validated by a trigger (saving business rules).
    If an error occurs, then the trigger calls the procedure PUT ( to save an error message).
    For example ...
    CREATE TRIGGER ...
    --- Rule 21
    if substr(:new.ka_kood,1,1) != :new.s_kat then
    error.put('TABLE1','COLUMN1', -20167, ' MESSAGE 1 !');
    end if;
    END;
    3. I have a form of HTML DB that updates the table TABLE1
    I want to show this error message with the field COLUMN1 (Inline with Field) .
    I need same validations before and after updating values.
    Before update - to validate same input; after update - to show errors saved in the package ERROR.
    I also tried to use the global variables. For example ...
    WWV_FLOW.g_validation_ids_in_error(1):= 192645056564169139;
    WWV_FLOW.g_item_ids_in_error(1):= 192644674113169137 ;
    WWV_FLOW.g_validation_message(1):='MESSAGE1';
    And this did not help.
    To rise errors in programs - is there same API ?
    Or there is some other solutions ?
    How can I do this in HTML DB?

    Andres,
    I'm not sure exactly what you are trying to do. But perhaps this will help some. If your after-submit process runs DML that causes triggers to fire, which result in error messages to be accumulated in package variables, you could create a branch on the page that would be conditional on the existence of error messages in the package variables. The branch could be back to the same page or to a more customized error page. The page you branch to would use the error messages in the package variables to determine how to format the page with the error text. The key to doing this is to run it all in the same database session. The way to do that is to use a "direct" branch, i.e., one that does not do a URL redirect. You create this type of branch with the Create Branch wizard (Branch to Page) and do not check the "Branch to page using redirect" checkbox when you see it.
    Be sure to roll back any changes you do not want committed before the branch.
    Using HTML DB global package variables for anything like what you described is not supported.

  • Problem with showing caller information on E90

    I recently purchased an E90 and it appears to have a problem with showing the information of the caller (name) for those numbers that have been synchronized with Outlook 2003 or using Bluetooth from a Sony-Ericsson. The presentation of the caller information for the numbers that I have punched in manually works just fine.
    Does anybody have the same problem and if so what is the solution if it is a configuration issue as it sure sounds like a software bug..

    unfortunately the quick office solution bundled with the E90 is very much inferior to the ones found in the older communicators. you Must PAY to upgrade to a better version w/c to my mind is still inferior to the basic version found in the 9X00/i series communicators

  • I have two albums (RCA Sweeny Todd 2 discs set and RCA Into the Woods 1 disc) where the songs are listed as being on the same album on the list view, but do not group together on the iPod, so the songs can't play consecutively, or in the proper order.

    I have two albums (RCA Sweeny Todd 2 discs set and RCA Into the Woods 1 disc) where the songs are listed as being on the same album on the list view, but do not group together on the iPod, so the songs can't play consecutively, or in the proper order. The "Apply Sort Field" and "Same album does not work, but ti is only these two RCA albums that do this. All other albums remain intact. Need help with this minor problem. Thanks.

    UPDATE: This behavior (to an extent) still happens when "Repeat Album" is off. Instead of an infinite loop, it goes through all the tracks on the album (unsuccessfully) and kicks me out to the Album overview screen. Going back to list of Albums and tapping the Album again brings up "No Content: You can download music from the iTunes Store" but that screen immediately kicks me back to list of Albums.
    So I am just even more confused now.

  • Can't see album art in Songs view in iTunes 11, column browser issues

    The column browser is still the most effective way for me to navigate my music, but in iTunes 11 it's only available in Songs view. This kinda makes sense, the column browser would be somewhat redundant in the other views, but Songs view is now missing the album art on the left side, which makes it a lot harder to view my music. This is what it looked like in iTunes 10:
    In iTunes 11 it looks like this:
    The album art was't just pretty, it had a great function of visually separating each of my albums in the list view. Now they all mush together. Sure, I can see the art now in the Artists or Genre view, but not with the column browser. I want to be able to sort by Genre, Artist and Albums - all three. Not one or the other. The column browser is the only way to do this and it just got uglier.
    On top of all this, now if I navigate to a certain place in the column browser and then click on anything else in iTunes, like the Artists view, Movies, Podcasts, etc and then jump back to the column browser, the whole column browser is reset and I've lost my place. This never used to happen in iTunes 10.
    It's like Apple is trying to marginalize the column browser till no-one wants to use it anymore.

    I found this in another discussion about iTunes 11:
    "To view in list/song view with art work on the side
    Go to prefernces >general and uncheck use large text. Go to Artist view > view > options > check group compulations.  then clik on all artists and all you music will appear in list view  with the art work on the left This is great for me as I recognize my music by art work not title, artist, ect..  Wish I could do additional sorts/see info in this view such as date added, BPM, last played ect."
    can you try it and post a screen shot?

  • ITunes 11: Album art in song view

    I WANT:
    1) Album art in song view with Date Added selected
    OR
    2) Add DATE ADDED to Album View (why isn't it?)
    3) If I can't have these anymore, cuz we all know Apple giveth and Apple taketh away on a regular basis, then Album View should automatically show the current song playing (why doesn't it?)
    Also, I had to restart three times before Command L finally worked. I had to deselect and reselct Sync iPhone over WiFi to get that to work.
    Sloppy and unintelligent update.

    If you are in Album view and click Song view, you can view all the information you wish.  It is an extra click but innovation seems to be that way these days.

  • How to select desired album art in Artist View on iPad?

    I hope that is clear enough.
    How do you select your desired album art in the Artist View on an iPad?  It seems that random art is selected and I would rather have a specific album art of my choice. 
    Example, Van Halen, it is showing VH2 as the album art in artist view, however, I'd rather have "For Unlawful Carnal Knowledge" as the art as I recognize it more quickly.

    If the album/song is available on iTunes Store you can right click the song/album and select Download Artwork, or if you have an image saved you wish to use you can for example right click an album, select Get Info and drag and drop the artwork over the existing artwork on placeholder and this will populate all songs on the album, if you've selected the entire album.
