Problems with Album Artwork on v7,01

I have recntly downloaded V7.0.1 and got all excited when I could retrieve all album artwork, I did this and it now shows in my itunes. the problem is when I come to transfer that to to my ipod - It has transferred the pictures as far a artists begnning with A. Midway through the transfer I get this message -
'The Ipod (alan's ipod) cannot be updated. An unknown error occured. (-50)'
any help would be appreciated.

in this context, that one is usually associated with damaged album art files.
are you able to identify which album art it is always quitting on? if so, if you delete that particular bit of album art, does the sync go through properly without the -50?

Problems with album artwork

I import a lot of CDs into my iPod. When I rip the CD, it simultaneously is converted to .MP3. Often iTunes tells me it can't find the album artwork. This is a mystery because if I import the CD using Windows Media player, the artwork will show up on thumbnail view but it doesn't always carry into iTunes. For a variety of reasons, I sometimes have to use Windows Media Player for ripping because my CD/DVD drive sometimes conflicts. HOWEVER, I have had the problem even when ripping new CDs directly into iTunes quite recently. Last night I purchased a CD, ripped it with Windows Media Player and then imported. No artwork showed up. I tried searching for it and was told iTunes could not find it which makes no sense because the CD can be purchased via iTunes Store. Again, this also happens sometimes when ripping via iTunes (which is programmed to tell me of updates and I always do that so it's not a case of old version of iTunes).
Any thoughts would be helpful. This is totally annoying.

I suspect the iPod uses artwork from it's own cache rather than the one embedded in the media file. Sometimes the incorrect/black artwork can be fixed simply by removing & then resyncing the affected album, but occasionally all this does is create a problem elsewhere. In these cases unchecking the option to include artwork, syncing, then reselecting the artwork option & syncing again usually does the trick, as if forces iTunes to completely rebuild the artwork cache on the iPod.

Problems with album artwork with 11.0.4

I have iTunes installed on Windows 7.
2 problems...
#1 -- I accidently deleted artwork from an album (the artwork was originally retrieved from iTunes using earlier version). When I try to retrieve the artwork from iTunes again, absolutely nothing happens. Even if I select all of my albums and select Get Album Artwork, the request ends almost immediately with no messages of any kind. I am definitely logged in.
#2 -- in the albums view, I don't see any artwork at all unless I click on an album. The view is just terrible. Nothing but a bunch of squares with the musical note. Surely this can't be intentional? How can I fix it?

Hi. The artwork cache has become corrupt and needs to be rebuilt. Connect your iPod, on the summary tab uncheck the option to include artwork, sync the ipod, reselect the artwork option, and sync again.

Problems with album artwork and configuration with the last iTunes version

hello,
Since the latest version of iTunes, it is not possible to remove the manually added albums illustrations. The method is to put it more laborious because it is necessary that the image is on the computer. We can not make a copy and paste from Google Image to insert an album artwork in the song changes tab.
Also when synchronizing to an Ipod Touch 5 or 6+ iPhone, illustrations may appraissent where its just the element that is not imported.
Thank you for your help

The new iTunes 12 Get Info dialog lacks right-click context menus (at least for now) but it still accepts most standard keyboard shortcuts and drag & drop actions.
Delete Artwork
On the artwork tab of Get Into, tap the image in question, use Backspace or Ctrl+X. Delete doesn't work.
Or, tap the image at the top left of Get Info, this time use Backspace or Delete, it is Ctrl+X that doesn't work.
Add Artwork
Select artwork, press Ctrl+C to copy, tap the centre of the Artwork tab, press Ctrl+V to paste.
Or, select artwork, press Ctrl+C to copy, tap the small image area at the top left, press Ctrl+V to paste.
Or, you can drag & drop to, or sometimes from, the same locations.
You can also copy artwork from the Get Info dialog to Windows Explorer with the keyboard shortcuts.
If the source image is on a web page right-click and use Copy Image rather than copy. (With Chrome I get a one pixel wraparound so tend to go for a temporary local copy anyway - not sure whose bug this is, but it isn't new.)
If you have multiple images embedded drag the one you want to be the primary artwork to the leftmost position.
Replace/Remove All Artwork
The top left image box can be used to add or delete art from multiple tracks. In either case all existing artwork in all tracks is replaced/removed.
Old Style Get Info Dialog
Select some items, right-click, hold down shift, then click Get Info from the context menu. (Use alt/option on a Mac)

Problems with album artwork in album section of the music app

So I have all of the album artwork for my music, and they all show whenever I play each individual one and when I view the album. But when I'm just scrolling through the albums on my phone, they don't show unless I tap on them. This bugs me as a perfectionist! Here is what I mean...
Help would be greatly appreciated!

Delete the affected music from your iPhone and sync it back from from iTunes on your computer. You can delete music by swiping across the title and pressing the red Delete.

I'm having a problem with album artwork

The artwork displays correctly on my iPod/iPhone/iTunes but it shows the wrong artwork in Album view. I've circled the correct artwork in green and the incorrect artwork in red. I've tried many things but nothing seems to fix it. Any suggestions? Thanks!
I'm using iTunes 11.0.1

Hi,
Is the correct album artwork the same on all tracks. If not, you can change the wrong artwork to the correct one.

Problems with Album Shuffle

Hi all.
I have a problem with Album Shuffle mode. Basically, I am trying to listen to my albums, but it will start treating songs from the same album as being from different albums. I have tried editing the info of the tracks to be identical in every way, I have even used the multiple editing feature, and they are in the same folder in my iTunes Music library. I am stuck with what to do, as I really like the album shuffle feature and don't want to have to manually choose the next album and such. Can you guys help at all? Would be very grateful for any advice

I tinkered with it a little more, and no idea HOW I fixed it, but it's working now. Maybe had something to do with genres.

Help with Album Artwork nightmare?

I don't know how a device that has been around for 10 years still has such unbelievable problems simply maintaining and transferring songs. I recently synched my iPhone 4S with a new MacBook Pro. So, of course, it wiped out mostly everything that was on the phone and I had to manually restore it all. Now, all the songs on the phone have the wrong album art. If you look under "Albums" the right art shows. Then, when you play one of the songs in the album, the song plays but the artwork is for a different artist and album. I don't think I have EVER actually transferred or synched anything without constant problems like this.
Does anyone know how to fix the album art so that it shows correctly on the phone? Thanks in advance.

The iPod's Artwork cache does get corrupted when making frequent changes. In the iPod's Music preferences tab in iTunes, remove the check beside "Display album artwork on your iPod" and select Apply.
Once the iPod has finished syncing, recheck it and hit Apply again. iTunes should recreate the artwork cache and re-sync it to your iPod.

Problem with adding artwork manually in itunes

I'm having trouble manually adding artwork to several albums in itunes 10.7 on macbook pro (the 'get album artwork' facility won't pick these discs up presumably because they're too obscure).
I go to 'get info', select the relevant check box, then add a non-read only, apparently normal jpg to the artwork box. This image then displays successfully in the artwork box, I press ok, but when I return to the albums list it won't display at all. This has been consistent problem that I haven't only experienced in this version of itunes and it's very irritating having just a few blank albums that refuse to change.
Any ideas what might be causing this. Or is there a workaround or an alternative method I can use to add artwork?

Thanks both for the responses.
Limnos - I can't find an equivalent 'show artwork' function in the view menu in my version of itunes, and I'd rather not have step back to an older version of itunes if I can avoid it.
BUT having thought about it I think the root of the problem must be that they are all albums with .flac files that have been imported into itunes using the 'Fluke' software. I suspect this might be what's causing the problem - and I'm wondering whether that means the problems with Fluke itself. It's annoying that there isn't a quality music player on mac that handles .flac and I have to use these crappy converters.
If anyone has an idea about how to solve this please pitch in, but I suspect this goes beyond the remit of these forums.
och well.

Problems with embedding artwork

I am having problem embedding artwork into mp3 files; I was doing this manually by highlighting the tracks on an album and then click and dragging the album artwork into the artwork box in the bottom left hand side of the iTunes window. When I went back into the album folder the tracks were embedded with the artwork, this is no longer happening. The artwork is appearing in the iTunes window when either selecting ‘Now Playing or Selected Item’ but it is not showing in the folder so when playing on other network devices or an IPod the artwork is not showing. What has changed to stop this. Thanks in advance

Whoops, I posted this in the wrong place. Sorry! How do I move it?

Problem viewing album artwork on video ipod

My problem is that I'm unable to view album artwork on my ipod in full screen, whether it's from the itunes store or if I copy/paste an album cover pic myself. You can see the artwork fine on the left next to the song/artist/album, it's just blank when you want to see it full screen. The thing is that my ipod is Windows formatted and this has only been happening since I got a Mac and have been doing all my itunes/ipod stuff on it. I wanna know if this is normal for a Windows formatted ipod on a Mac or if there is a way to fix this (without formatting it to Macintosh) because all my other songs with artwork that I synced with Windows show up fine in full screen view. Please let me know. Thanks.
MacBook Mac OS X (10.4.9)

After you added the album work to your songs, did you import or re-import those songs to the IPOD?

Problem with viewing Artwork after iTunes 10.5.1.42 update

Anyone able to help with question below?
I now cannot view my Artwork for my album unless i am actually playing the song. The Artwork box in the bottom left corner reads "Selected Item", as it should, however now I cannot view the artwork for the selected item, I actually have to play the song to view the art work and its driving me nuts.
Anybody able to help or have the same issue?
Thanks!

i'm having the exact same thing, and is driving me crazy also. at first I thought the switch to newest version deleted all my album arts but then i looked in file info and they still seem to be there. hopefully someone has already told apple about this. must be a bug in the latest update, a case of if it wasn't broken shouldn't try to fix it.
sorry i can't helpmore, suppose only thing we can do is just wait it out until next update and hope it gets fixed but don't worry, your not alone. my guess is everybody having this same problem with the newest version. my bad for using automatic update i guess..

Problem with album art on apple tv 2 since IOS 5

hey
since i installed ios 5 on my ipad and apple tv 2 i have the problem that my album artwork does not appear starting from song 2 of the album
when i airplay with my ipad, the first song of an album has album art, starting from the second song, the album art suddenly dissapears

I have the exact same problem also - very frustrating given that it was working perfectly before I updated to IOS 5. strangely enough, the artwork displays for the first track you select within each album, so if you create a playlist and select one track from each album this would display the album artwork correctly and no problem exists. If you decided to skip from track 1 to another track within the album the artwork is not displayed? I have an iPhone which works fine when I use this to play music through apple TV so for me the issue is with the iPad update software and it must be a glitch or error in the recent update. I would really appreciate any tips to fix this issue as it bugging the **** out of me!!! Apple - get yer finger out and fix this!!!

Problems with album art copying to ipod touch

I got a 2nd generation ipod touch for christmas and am having some problems with the album art. I have all of the album art set up in itunes, and when I right click on a song and tell it to 'get info' it shows the album art picture fine (in my itunes library as well as in my ipod's music library), but when the song is actually playing on the ipod the screen is just blank. It isn't just the white background with the music notes like a song with no album art at all, it's just a black screen. When I flip the ipod sideways and browse through the albums all of the album art shows up except for a few which are blank as well. Anybody know why this is happening? Another weird thing is that the album art will show up for maybe one or two songs in the album, but the vast majority are just showing a blank black screen with no picture. Anyone else having this problem?

"And now I can't get rid of that cover w/o deleting the whole songlist."
are you sure? if you go to either album info (right clicking on the album in grid view) and double clicking in the album art section, you should be able to use any picture you have saved on your machine by navigating to that picture. OR right clicking individual tracks, then get info, and going to 'artwork', and then deleting it there (you might have to delete them all individually, but it beats having the wrong art there)

After Upgrade to 8.0, problems with album purchases.

Once I start to play the album, the first 2 to 3 songs will play then before the next one starts, my iPod Classic with stop and restart with the Apple logo. What is going on? I have restored my Ipod and deauthorized and reauthorized my PC but the issue is still here.
