Problems displaying SOME album art for Home Movies in iTunes 11.1.4

I have a number of home videos in my iTunes 11.1.4 library on my Mac.  I have manually added album art to each video, but only about half the movies actually show the album art when viewing the movies from the Home Videos tab in iTunes.  The other half of the movies just show a frame of the movie.  I double checked Get Info for the movies that aren't displayed the album art and confirmed that the album art is listed.  All the album art I uploaded is of the same size and file type.  Not sure why half the art displays and half doesn't.  Anyone else see this before?  I'm puzzled.
Thanks

I don't know if you got your answer this this post is from about 3 months ago. I've also been having the same issue.
On my end, I've been keeping all of my movie files on an external drive and just as your situation, only some of them appear and some of them are missing. I don't know if it's as a result of having them on an external drive and anytime I launch iTunes, it's not always plugged in. I'd have to do a bit more testing on that.
I did notice that as soon as I select the "Get Info" on a movie file with missing artwork and confirm that it's there in the metadata by just clicking "ok", it appears automatically in the iTunes window. Seems like a quick and easy solution for now, but not so if you have 300+ movies and you have to do the step for every other one.
If you figured out a solution for this or what worked for you, I'd be glad to hear it.

  • IPod displays incorrect album art for some songs

    Hi, I hope someone can help. I've tried a bunch of things and I'm still having problems with some of my album art. They display fine in iTunes and other music players, but sometimes not on my iPod. Sometimes it'll display a different album cover than it should, and it kinda annoys me. The only thing I can do is to open the iPod in iTunes, delete the song off the iPod and drag it back on. I think I've had this problem with songs I've brought back in though. Also, once the wrong art is displayed, it remeains that way unless I delete the song and replace (like I just said). I thought maybe the iPod was stressed by starting up, so I tried running through all songs figuring it would endure less stress, therefore displaying the right album art, and thus it would remember the artwork than me, but artwork still messed up
    I tried the diplay album art setting in iTunes
    running through songs on iPod
    I started in automatic update and now I'm in manual update, but this problem occurred in both
    Please Help me, someone!!!

  • How can I display all album art of my library in iTunes

    All my music tracks in my library contain the respective album art within their ID3-tags and it is perfectly displayed in the lower left corner window when I select or play a track.
    What I really would like to do is to browse through my library using the album art, not the text-based endless lists (title, album, interpret, genre etc.), then click on a cover, see the tracks and select one.
    Is there a feature in iTunes already that can do that or a plug-in somewhere in the market ? (I do not need a tool that collects album art like eyejamz, but a tool to display the art I already have)
    Thanks a lot for any feedback

    Bakergirl,
    You can use iTunes to remove the beginning or end of a song (or both) by setting the Start and Stop times. 
    But to remove a section from the middle and keep the rest, you will need an audio editor such as Audacity.

  • Descriptions for home movies in iTunes

    I have some home movies that I classified as TV Shows, so I could see them separately from my movies on my video iPod. However, when I try to access them on my iPod, they don't show up because there is no way to alter the category "Show" so I can find it on my iPod. Does anyone know how to do this?

  • IPad doesn't display correct album art

    I could really use some help here, I am at the end of my rope.  I have HomeSharing on so that my iPads and iPhones will play music and movies from our iTunes library.  I have an iPhone 5, an iPhone 4S, an iPad 4 and (2) iPad 2 models.  Both iPhones and the iPad 4 will display the correct album art in the movies but the iPad 2's scramble up the album art.  For instance on the iPad 4 shows the Aladdin album art where it says Aladdin is but on the iPad 2 (both of them) it will display random album art.  So you'll be looking at a picture of Bug's Life but the line states that the movie is Aladdin.  Now when you select that movie and it enters the info page where the play button is, the album art comes up correctly.  It's just in the title screen or selection screen this happens.  Then to add to that, the music and music videos all displays fine, the correct album art every time.  For some reason, this is only happening in the movies.  And again, only happening on the iPad 2's.  There is no issue with the newer iPad or the iPhones.  So is this a setting that is goofed?  A software issue that I can't resolve?  I would appreciate any input you can provide, especially if you can help me fix this!! 
    FYI, the iPad 2's are my daughter's so I have the PG restriction on making sure that they can't watch anything PG-13 or over.  Although it won't display a PG-13 or over movie, it will display the album art (for instance it will show Hills Have Eyes instead of Aladdin although the text shows Aladdin and again, if you click on it the correct album art shows Aladdin in the info screen).  I thought maybe the restrictions were the problem so I shut them off but that didn't resolve the issue.

    Me Too. Glad to hear I'm not alone in this...
    I can't explain it. All my songs show the correct art in iTunes but it's often mismatched on the Nano. I've noticed that selecting a problem track in iTunes, get info and clicking "ok" on the already correct art, sometimes corrects the issue (for that one track) on the Nano after the next sync.. but not always.
    p.s. Other posts say "restore" is the answer. I'll try that tonight.

  • Some album art not displaying in

    I have the latest firmware release (.60.0). After either syncing via an app or simply dragging and dropping via Media Explorer, some album art does not display properly in my ZVM in the Album art view nor when the song is played. The method I used is embedding the image directly in the MP3 tags. I only use the MP3 format.
    I love my ZVM!

    It sounds as if I had the same problem, which bugged the **** out of me, until about 10 minutes ago. I mucked around for ages with iPad and iPhone with some success before they would reset themselves to some odd settings i.e. artwork not matching correct album, couldn't delete songs from iPhone etc.! Very frustrating.
    So tonight I did the following:
    1. I have Homesharing turned ON as i use iPad/iPhone as a remote;
    2. on iPad and/or iPhone make sure that the device(s) is signed into your Home Share  - appleID is completed in "Settings"/"Music";
    3. on iPad go to Music (orange icon, not in Settings) and press "More" then "Shared" and choose your host machine's library and NOT "My iPad". Same for iPhone too.
    Hope that helps,
    Matt

  • Recovering album art for movies

    I am having problems with the album art on itunes. The album art for my songs, tv shows, and movies, I can seem them in itunes. but when I load the files onto my ipod touch the album art gets screwed up. It takes frames from movies and substitutes them for album art for a song. anyway so I went to the apple store, and they told me to delete the album art and have itunes redownload it using the get album art thing in itunes. I went into the movie files and deleted the album art. and when I told itunes to get new album art, it did not fix the problem. now I can't see the album art in itunes anymore. I know it's not a big deal... but I really would like to fix it. any help would be appreciated.

    Hi,
    As a recommendation, check online to see if you can get an app that does that for you. 

  • Any way to update album art for lots of Movies automatically?

    I have several hundred movies in mp4 format that have album art with the exact same filename except ends in .jpg instead of .mp4. I'd like to update the album art in these movies and figured out how to do it manually via iTunes. However, I'm looking for any way to do this easier than manually doing it one by one. Any good scripts or programs out there that can read a directory and insert the album art into the mp4 file?
    Thanks,
    Kevin

    Had this problem and think I have solved a work round although simple copy and paste we used to have would be so much better to have back - APPLE PLEASE NOTE! - sorry I think that deserves a shout.
    I regularly add cd's to my library which don't have artwork on itunes so I search and used to be able to copy the image and paste straight into itunes but not with itunes 11.
    Work around I have found is as follows.
    Locate Artwork, right click and "Add image to iPhoto library"
    Locate album in itunes.  Right click and "Get Info".
    Double click on the artwork frame and will open window showing your files. 
    Open photos and locate your saved artwork photo.
    Select and click open.
    Click OK on the Multiple Item information window and itunes will update the tracks on the album with the artwork.
    It worked for me so hope it does for you.

  • Set album art for movies?

  • How do I Get Album Art for Some Tracks Only?

    I feel really stupid for asking this but I have tried to find out how to do it to no avail!
    I only want to get the album art for actual albums but whenever I click on "Get Album Artwork" it goes through my whole library!
    I have tried by highlighting the songs and then clicking get album artwork... did not work.
    I have tried only selecting the songs I wanted [using checkbox thingy] and then clicking get album artwork... did not work.
    I feel there is a really simple and obvious way to do this but cannot for the life of me figure out how.
    Regards,

    HAHAHAHAHA!
    Thank you! I tried that and did not see it at all!

  • Front Row not displaying all Album Art

    Hi, I recently bought a Macbook Pro and imported all the music I had to it. I started downloading all the album arts for all my albums, and finally placed them all in order. They look perfect in iTunes in Coverflow.
    Then, when I started Front Row, I noticed that not all of my songs displayed an Album Art, only some of them. Does anyone know how to solve this problem?

  • Displaying ipod album art in itunes

    I have a question about the iPod's display of album art in iTunes when it is plugged into my computer. I had been getting really frustrated for the better part of the evening after adding a bunch of album art to my music, updating it on the iPod (I do manual update so I dragged the songs onto the iPod after adding the art), and then clicking on them in the iPod's library in iTunes only to see that there was no album art there. What gives?
    However, I realized that I was getting annoyed for no reason when I checked it out in the iPod itself, after I disconnected it. All of the album art is there.
    So here is the strange behavior I have observed this evening: if I had to go out on the internet and find cover art myself, and add it manually to the files in iTunes, it displays in the iPod's library in iTunes. If iTunes helpfully went out and found the cover art for me automatically, it does NOT display in the iPod library in iTunes (although it is actually there when you go to play the music on the disconnected iPod). I went through the iPod's library in iTunes and this is consistently what is happening.
    Obviously this isn't a life-or-death kind of situation, but I was wondering if anyone else has noticed this behavior or knows why this happening. For what it's worth, my entire iTunes library is on an external hard drive, and all of my music is on there in the same place. Do you think iTunes is storing the art in separate places depending on whether I added it or it found it on its own? Would this even matter? I am very curious about this. Thanks for any insight anyone has for me.

    when i play the music on the iPod the albums show up
    no problem... but when the iPod is connected to
    iTunes, and i'm browsing my ipod via itunes, only
    some album art shows up...
    IE: beck guero, has album art in the itunes library,
    it also has the art on the ipod if i play it with the
    ipod disconnected from my mac. it DOES NOT show album
    art when connected to itunes and view the ipod within
    itunes...
    whats the deal? some albums are just fine, but the
    vast majority of them dont display the art while in
    itunes... again, if i disconnect the ipod and view
    them on the ipod, there is no problem all albums
    display.
    any help is appreciated.
    Just so you know, you're not going crazy and you're not the only one that's seeing this. I'm seeing the same behavior with a 30GB 5G iPod and iTunes7 under Windows XP.

  • Tracks often displaying incorrect album art in playlist and podcast modes

    Strange one this, and not at all consistent.
    I'm often noticing that the album art for another unrelated album is being displayed when I am playing music from a playlist or playing a podcast.
    Any ideas how to stop my iPod Touch doing this, and to display the correct artwork?

    I too have the exact same problem, and pretty often too. It's really a pain when I've taken the time to find almost all of the correct artwork for all 18,000+ songs (92+ GB) in my iTunes library, and yet it won't be displayed correctly on my iPhone. I've tried countless reset's, restore's, starting fresh with a new library, etc. Nothing I can think of works. Does anyone have a successful solution? I sometimes get an error when trying to update my iPhone 3GS with the number (-6999) at the end of it. I'm wondering if there's any correlation there...

  • Separate Album art for each episode.

    I have a video podcast that I set up and I'm trying to make separate album art for each episode- unfortunately I have no idea how to even go about this.
    I'm prepared to edit the xml file if I need to, as long as someone can walk me through it.
    thanks!

    hey all,
    I did some fooling around and I was able to get it. I didn't even need to do anything to the xml file.
    Here's how:
    I imported the movie into itunes BEFOREHAND and gave it album art (a jpg image). This metadata was saved and when I dragged the file from my itunes library over into iWeb, that metadata carried over, even when I tried subscribing to it as a video podcast, the picture I dragged into the artwork field was still there.
    Hooray!
