Refresh iTunes album art fails in DM6

Hi,
I'm trying to import iTunes album art into Desktop Manager 6 and about halfway through, the process fails. I've checked the log files and found this info that might be relevant:

The log points to a possibly corrupted album art image, but it would be desirable if the Desktop manager could simply ignore that exception and resume the import. Has anybody else encountered this problem?

After having no itunes media sync issues with my 238 albums, other than album art for "Greatest Hits" albums getting mixed up, i have found that DM 6 gets the album art correct, but will not sync approximately 238 of 1500 files. Who knows how to fix this one. I am through with RIM, Blackberry and DM. I don't understand why they can't get this stuff right.

ITunes album art screen saver problem

Hi, recently when I use my iTunes album art work as a screen saver the albums have a purple tint to them. It hasn't always been like that so if anyone could help it would be greatly appreciated.

Just thought I'd let you know that you're not alone. I've tried everything i could think of to fix this problem. The only thing that worked was re-installing the os
and not messing with the settings. But that's not really an option. I only found that out because i got a little delete happy while screwing with my mac.

Hello howwow,
In iTunes, select the song. Get info (command+I), click on the Artwork Tab at the top. You can drag the image from there to the desktop. Double click it to open it in the Finder, copy the image- just press command+c.
Open Preview, type command+n, this will create a New From Clipboard image of your artwork. Save it as a Jpeg or Pict. Repeat with each song you want and create the folder for your screen saver.

When I downloaded iOS 7 my iTunes album art automatically changed for me. Loved it. When I downloaded iOS 8 update it went back to the original artwork. How do I get it back like iOS 7??

Okay, I'm going to try and make as much sense as I possibly can without confusing people. I hope someone can help! So when I downloaded the iOS 7 update one 'major' change I noticed was that my album art in iTunes had automatically changed for me. It was really cool, more up-to-date, and overall enjoyed how it looked. Made it look a lot neater than my own album art I had put on there. Now, when I downloaded the new iOS 8 update I notice that all my album art when back to its original picture which I had put on there. How do I get it back to where it was when I downloaded the iOS 7 Update?? Any help would be greatly appreciated! I know this isn't the most "dying for help" question, but I'm curious anyways to why it has changed. Thanks!

Sorry no backup - no pictures.
Yes phone will automatically backup to icloud when on wifi and phone is charge, but your phone storage was full so it stop backing up.

ITunes Album Art Screensaver with iTunes Match in Lion

A well documented problem so far.
Would just like a DEFINITIVE answer
Running iTunes 10.5.3
Lion 10.7.2
iTunes Match working great with songs still stored locally.
Have re-downloaded all album artwork & displays just fine while in iTunes
When activating Screensaver, get the message 'No iTunes artwork found'
Ok all you mac/iTunes geniuses, what have you figured out so far?

I found that I too had this problem. I have tried everything that is suggested here and else were.
What I had to do was maybe a combo of everything suggested here and what I did. Don't know for sure, but I am not going to try to break it again to find out.
After none of these suggestions would get it to work I started digging.
Using Activity Monitor, I could see that when I had the System Preferences open it was taking way to much Physical RAM and CPU, so I selected "System Preferences" from the list of open processes and then clicked the "Inspect" button at the top of the Activity Monitor, under the "Open Files and Ports" tab I could see that the "iTunes Library.itl" file was trying to be accessed. So then I closed the "Inspect" window and clicked the "Sample Process" button. I got A LOT of information, and a lot of error messages refering to iTunes that contained the text "(in iTunesAccess) load address" and a bunch of different numbers that I couldn't tell you what they mean. Searching google for "(in iTunesAccess) load address" didn't give me anything of value, so I figured that since System Preferences kept trying to call the "iTunes Library.itl" file and I was getting a bunch of iTunes errors in sampling the System Preferences process, that the problem might lie in my library.
So to test, I copied about 50 or so songs with album art to the iTunes library of a new user I had just created on my computer. Then I tried to turn on the artwork screen saver, and it worked right out of the gate. So that told me it wasn't a global problem with the computer, just within my profile. Since I have had the same library for about 10 years though hardware, OS, and iTunes upgrades, I thought, maybe if there was some way I could rebuild my Library file it might be happier, and since I don't want to loose all my play lists and what ever historical data is kept in the library file, rebuilding seemed like the best option.
So here is what I found on how to rebuild the Library file, it is pretty easy, but scary to. I have a Time Machine back up of my computer so I felt better knowing that I could just revert back. Before you try this I would make back up copies of "iTunes Library.itl" and "iTunes Music Library.xml" if you aren't backing up your computer already.

Then if you have problems with your PodCasts after.

After all that everything worked like it was suppose to. Happy day and all the peasants rejoiced.
I really wish Apple would address the issue though, I know it's a small detail, but that attention to small details is sometimes what makes Apple so effing cool. Seems like they are starting to let more fall through the cracks.

Printing iTunes album art in Leopard

Since installing Leopard I have been unable to print album art or text from iTunes. There is no problem printing from other applications.

Yeah, I have this same problem. I get the list of songs, but no artwork.

Album art fails to show after 1st track

ipod classic 80G fw 1.0.3
The album art shows properly in CoverFlow
When I start playing from coverflow, it shows the proper album art in the first song I play, but if I go the next song, it shows the "music notes" placeholder like there is no art in the file.
Now for the kicker: if I press the center click from coverflow to show the track list, then start playing the album on track #2, then it shows the artwork, but if I move on to the next track, it fails to show the artwork again.
Basically it acts like it can't find artwork when moving from one song to the next.
All my tracks have album art embedded into them (I checked with Mp3Tag. Art size varies from about 100x100 all the way to 500x500

I figured it out. Thanks to going click happy on the interface. Click on Advanced, then Get Album Artwork". It will then tell you to login and a warning that the song info will get sent to Apple. I've been trying to move my songs over to this thing on and off for months. I really think Android is the way to go as forcing you to convert your songs to a format that takes your rights to play a song away is rediculous. No ringtone using my own songs... seriously? My ancient Blackberry had that option with no special software necessary, you just put your music in a folder and let there be sound! I'm not upgrading to the new iPhone.

ITunes Album art/possible meta data issue? Really need help

So ill try and break this down as simple as possible...
I moved all my music from my Windows PC to my brand new MacBook Pro. All the song info/album Art and everything matches just fine on my windows pc. However on my Mac when itunes downloads any artwork it puts in artwork from other albums and artists. When I click on the song up in the iTunes sidebar lists Artist/Songs from an entirely different album. I have tried fixing all Meta data and converted ID tags and matched everything perfectly to iTunes Store but it still things the artwork is for another artist and the sidebar diplays the same info. I have even cleared out my library and copied to an external and reimported but same issue. I dont want to sit here and fix every single artwork problem especially when the information to the album is literally word for word match in iTunes store.
My other fear is that if iTunes thinks some of my songs are completely different artists when iTunes Match rolls around my songs will not populate correctly?
Please any other ideas? Like I said the album meta data is 100% matched (Artist, Song, Genre, Year, tracks)

clever point...

some album covers just aren't exactly square, particularly if the CDs are sold in cardboard flip-cases.
I deal with artwork in a more hap-hazzard way, but most of the time, i get SQUARE results...
Just Google the album title, then click the IMAGES tab. More times than not, I find the album cover in multiple sizes and about every time, at least one version that is truly square.
All i need to do then is click the image, then again at the top of the resulting Google page (to show just the image - out of it's surrounding page), then drag the image directly to the Album Artwork Placeholder in the GET INFO tab (that has already been opened on multiple items - the whole album).

ITunes Album Art and song sorting difficulties

Hello.
I would like to solve something I've been having trouble with for a while now.
I am one of those people who like to only see the album art of a playlist I created. So, I don't like it when there are a 1000 different album arts, a different one for every single song, when I tild my iPod touch 4th generation to landscape mode. I have created 3 playlists in total, so only want to see 3 different album arts.
The only way I've managed to do this so far, was clicking on a song and selecting the show info button, and then click on: part of a compilation, and fill in all the different info and specifications for the song and the playlist it's in.
For example, in my playlist Michael Jackson:
But everytime I add a new song to my iTunes library, and put the song in the Michael Jackson playlist, it shows different album and album-artist info. (because the songs come from my Windows 7 music library and not every song comes out of the same MJ album. Some come out of the album Thriller, some come out of other albums )
So that means, if I don't want a new album art picture everytime I put a new song in the Michael Jackson playlist, I manually have to fill in all the specifications again: album-artist = Michael Jackson. Album = King of Pop. Sort album = King of pop, or a new album art will appear in landscape mode with only one song underneath it.
So finally, my question: is there any way iTunes can do this automatically, when I add a new song to one of my playlists?
My iTunes is in Dutch, hope that doesn't cause difficulty.
Greets from the Netherlands.

Thank you very much for your respone.
I'm new here and didn't realize that correction would bump this discussion.
It does, and that's fine as long as you're not too impatient. (Though I've probably missed what you've corrected.)
Isn't it a bit strange that iTunes doesn't have some sort of button: 'put all the songs in this playlist/album under one artwork?'
Or is that just me?
If it's not just you, you're certainly in a minority. Use the Songs and List views and you can pretty much ignore artwork in iTunes, but I think most people associate songs with the albums they come from and the correct art helps when browsing. I'm the other way, everything has to have the correct art (which must be exactly square), Title Case Spelling, long file and folder names in Windows Explorer, etc. See Grouping tracks into albums for more...
Something else I just noticed. In iTunes on my PC it's fine, the songs on my iPod are in the same order as they are showed in iTunes, but they have a completely wrong number in front of them on my iPod, like this:
1. Bad
8. Beat It
5. Ben
12. Billy Jean
2. Black or White
2.Billie Jean
Do you also happen to know how to solve this?
Those are probably the original track numbers showing through, but I'd need to see more details to be certain. There is a section on track ordering in the article above.

Itunes Album Art and mp3 play problem

I could use some advice on a solution or what to try next. I have 30k+ songs that I added album art too and synced with my video Ipod. Everything was going fine until a couple of days ago. I noticed in Itunes that certain albums now do not display the album art, Where the album art should be, it says "album artwork not modifiable" For these same albums, Itunes won't play the songs either. I press the play button and nothing happens. The artwork is still on my Ipod, and I can play the music from my Ipod, but not on Itunes.
I have verified that the compatibility mode solution did not fix my problem.
The files are all unprotected mp3's
The MP3's are not hidden or write protected.
The MP3's play in Windows media player just fine.
When I copy the files from my Itunes library to another folder, and try to re-import the music, Itunes goes through the motions of re-adding the music but does not add the songs.
I have taken the MP3's and ran them through DBpowerAMP and converted the unplayable MP3 to a new MP3 file and then Itunes recognizes it, but I have lost my artwork.
With the quantity of songs I have and the fact that not all songs are corrupt, I'm stuck on how to get Itunes to recognize this music again. Is this an Itunes problem? What should I try next? I'm running Win XP SP2, Itunes 6.0.3.5.

I had this happen to one song file. I never figured out why, but it seemed that the addition of the artwork corrupted the file so that it was unplayable within iTunes. No other of my 13,000 songs have ever had this problem.
This was an AAC format song in my case. See this thread for some possible fixes for MP3 files:

Podcast thumbnails coming in as itunes album art covers?

Some of my album art fron iTunes is replacing the Podcast Thumbnails.....

Don't touch the Artist field — select the entire album, Get Info (command-I), and enter the primary artist's name in the Album Artist field. This tells iTunes the album is a single artist's work, but that other artists feature on individual tracks. If you then sort on the Album column (including "Album by Artist" and "Album by Year"), the album will have a single cover art associated with it.

ITunes Album Art in Screen Saver Mode

Hello,
Most of my 3,000 songs in iTunes have album art associated with them. However, when I set my screensaver to cycle through them, only 1 cycles. Does anyone know how I can get all of them to cycle ?

Not a definite, but perhaps you have a defective preference file. Try Preferential Treatment see if it reports any errors.

ITunes album art screensaver no longer works

My screensaver suddenly no longer displays the iTunes album artwork library.
Instead it's a black screen saying "Your iTunes Library does not contain any songs with artwork.
What happened here? Album artwork shows up fine in iTunes and the screensaver used to work just fine...

Update: I downgraded back to iTunes 8 - and the album artwork screensaver is finally back!
I also missed the photo album sorting feature with non-iPhoto photo syncing,
so for now the iTunes downgrade works for me ...
Hoping Apple will fix some of these issues with one of the next updates!
