Same cover art on all albums!

Hi I have some albums on my iPhone. In iTunes the albums show different cover arts, however in my iPhone all albums got the same cover art from one of the other albums
How can I get the cover arts working as they should? Everything worked just fine till I added two new albums yesterday

Somehow the database has become corrupted. This can happen when unplugging the phone while it is still syncing or being accessed by your computer.
You will have to remove all music from the phone and the resync it once more. That's the only way to fix the artwork.
I've had to do this a few times on my iPod Classic and the only way to fix it was to remove the music then resync.

On itunes on my computer I put all my songs into the right albums and cover art on the albums but it doesn't show up that way on my ipod

On itunes on my computer I took the time to sort my songs put them by the correct artists and albums and got all the cover art for it but when i go to put it that way on my iPod it doesn't work that way? Why is it showing multiple albums for the same album and no cover art for some albums and unknown artists for the artist? It says differently on Itunes on my computer.

Hi adtsalmon,
You can only watch the movie on the device you rented it on. Here's a snippet from the Apple Support site (italics mine):
If you download a rented movie on your computer: You can transfer it to a device such as your Apple TV (1st generation), iPhone, iPad, or iPod if it’s a standard-definition film (movies in HD can only be watched on your computer, iPad, iPhone 4 or later, iPod touch (4th generation or later), or Apple TV). Once you move the movie from your computer to a device, the movie will disappear from your computer's iTunes library. You can move the movie between devices as many times as you wish during the rental period, but the movie can only exist on one device at a time.
If you download a rented movie on your iPhone 4 or later, iPad, iPod touch (4th generation or later), or Apple TV: It is not transferable to any other device or computer.
Here's the link to the Movie Rentals FAQs site FYI:

Hope this helps!

I've always wanted to obtain and have perfect resolutioned cover art for my albums. I have been and downloaded albums from the iTunes store, and they come with really great cover art. How can I get cover art as precise and clean as the albums have on ther

My problem mainly concerns cover art.
There have been times when I downloaded albums from the iTunes store to find its cover art it is absolutely beautiful, and is absolutely 100% un stretched. Whereas when I have gotten images for a specific album from Google Images it's terribly pixelated and totally disgusting.
Is there a way for me to obtain cover art for my albums that is has clarity equal to the cover art on the iTunes store albums.
Or will it basically boil down to I can only get that cover art by downloading my albums off the store?

The old iTunes libraries do not restore any playlists or song counts.
They should you if you do the roll back properly... Opening files from the Previous iTunes Libraries folder in Windows Explorer simply opens the current library. If you don't see the .itl file extension then don't give your copied and renamed file the extention or iTunes will create an empty library rather than using the renamed file.
If you had a complete pre-problem backup of your library you could restore that. On the assumption that isn't possible I have a script called ExportImport that could in principle be adjusted to save the relevant data from a backup of the library database and then reimport that data into the current library. See this thread for details.

After "upgrading" to ios 7.02, why did I lose most cover art for music albums?

(ios 7.02 on iphone 4s, Windows 7 itunes) Happened on first synch after upgrade. Found no real solution searching through forum. What happened? How do I restore these - the artwork is still in itunes? The answer that I should delete more than 70 albums from itunes and reimport them is not a solution.

Hi garobinson51,
I finally managed to solve this annoying issue on my iPad 3 with iOS 7 (7.0.2)
I tried editing the info of a song from within iTunes 11 with no luck. I also tried playing a song from an album or an entire album with no luck as well.
Finally, while I was "playing" with my iTunes library I added a new album to the iPad and it actually kept the right cover art. This led me to think that the root cause of the issue is with some metadata that the iPad keeps between iOS versions and is not even reset during a Settings->General->Reset->Reset all settings (I had to reset all settings to solve another annoying problem with the Music app where songs were not actually sorted).
At that point, from within iTunes, I tried removing a single artist from my iPad (I'm not synching the whole iTunes library, but only selected albums and artists), synching, adding it back and synching again. It actually worked.
Please note that you may have to close and reopen the Music app to see the cover art.
It may eventually help trying to remove all music from the iPad through Settings->General->Usage->Storage:Music (just swipe left on "All music" and select "Delete") and then synching the music back from your computer, but I've not tried it since the problem was solved with the other method.
I really think that this version of iOS 7 tried to preserve to many information and settings between installations and this led to an overall instability for the device/app. Moreover it also added confusion to the end user changing the way many things used to work (e.g. Music app layout, library sorting, artist pictures download from iTunes Match, etc) and letting many new features go undocumented (i.e. you'll learn them only through usage and practice. The manual doesn't cover them).
I really hope this helps you to fix your cover art issue. It didn't have to reimport all the albums, but simply cleaned their info from the iPad and added them back.

Printing cover art from iTunes albums

Back in the days of Jaguar it used to be easy to print album art work from music purchased from iTunes Store. It was just the right size for a jewel case. Now with Tiger I can select the art work, copy it to a word processing app, and print it, but it is WAY too large and I can't reduce it enough to be the right size. There must be a way. Would appreciate your help! Thanks in advance.

Have you selected a track from the album whose artwork you want to print? When you do that, he album cover should appear in the left-hand column, below your playlists (provided you've hit the Show Artwork button at the bottom). Then the print command should be active. (If this isn't happening, I'm stumped.)

I can't make COVER ART for my albums in my ZEN Visio

MAJOR Cover Art bugs in iTunes 7.x.x

Here are some interesting observations in discovering MAJOR Cover Art bugs in iTunes 7.x.x
1. Importing CDs
If you import a CD, you must wait for complete import to finish in hopes that all songs will populate successfully with cover art. Even here, success is random.
If you request cover art during the import, there are mixed results.
iTunes should be smart enough to detect if any album exists with partial cover art in the library database, then those tracks with missing cover art will be automatically detected and updated.
2. Missing Cover Art
This occurs on 2 levels:
a. iTunes Store may just not have cover art for some (older) albums
b. iTunes Store does find the cover art, but it is not applied to *all tracks* on the album
The workarounds bring mixed results.
I have resorted to the "Get Info" approach and pasted cover art to random album tracks where cover art was only partly applied by iTunes.
In other cases, I scanned in the CD cover and applied it to albums where iTunes found no cover art. I assumed this would be a one-time fix as I expected some minimal tweaking would be involved in managing cover art.
No such luck! Here is why iTunes cover art represents a MAJOR bug in version 7.x.x
Day 1: I spend many hours tweaking and fine-tuning the cover art, assuming iTunes will "save" all my work. I browse different albums/tracks and everything looks great!
Day 2: Looks like iTunes only "saved" some of this effort. Sure enough, certain complete albums and random tracks from other albums now show NO cover art! How frustrating!
* * * Here is what is MORE DISTURBING about this Cover Art bug! * * *
I resort to thinking about more workarounds, and here are the results:
Hmmmm. Looks like if I paste in the Cover Art twice on certain album tracks, the Cover Art is now applied to that track. Meaning, if you do a "Get Info" on a track, you will see two pastes in the Cover Art tab, yes, you add the cover art twice, one cover next to the other so as to force that album track to get the cover art to attach. On the surface, this seemed to work, and all album tracks now seem populated with Cover Art and the effort appears "saved" when I revisit the album on Day 2.
But all is not what it appears. The trick of adding missing cover art twice, in the hopes that an album and/or certain random album tracks might adopting the cover art you are trying to assign will produce the following:
IT ACTUALLY AFFECTS THE AUDIO TRACK!!!!
Multiple attempts to add/fix cover art will ADD TO TRACK DURATION, such that when you play a track, the lead-in portion of the lyrics (say first 10 secs or so) will REPEAT in as many times as you tried to add the cover art!!!!
Thinking this might be a corrupt library database, I even deleted the database, started over, and while adding missing cover art, was able to reproduce the lyrics repeating on those tracks where the cover art was added (pasted) twice. You can HEAR and see the increased track duration in iTunes 7.x.x
MAJOR Cover Art bug!!! So you are not alone. And besides all the wasted hours trying to fix this, I say wait for iTunes 8.x
Please post and let me know if you have had the same experience with this cover art bug and similar workarounds.
C'mon Apple! PLEASE FIX THIS. What gives?

You can tell iTunes to "Clear Downloaded Artwork" to get rid of the wrong image.
Getting iTunes to select the correct image, especially for compilations can be quite frustrating. I've been slowly cleaning up some old artwork from when iTunes could not pull artwork from the iTunes Store for music from other sources. I've learned to check the album in question by using the iTunes Store link in iTunes - I figure if it goes right the the album I'm all set - Wrong! Today I'm doing battle with a bunch of "20th Century Masters - The Millennium Collection" albums. I can go through the album song by song and every one goes right to the correct album - but when I "Get Album Artwork" it still may not find the album or will pull in volume 2 instead of volume 1, etc. I've tried making sure my albums names are exact matches to the iTunes store with the same bad results.
It really seems like iTunes uses a different search method for artwork than for the iTunes Store link. At least Google has an image search...

IPod touch 3G droping out cover art

Got a wierd problem. Whem i'm importing music into my iPod i'm verifying that the album contains cover art. the music and cover art are all there, ween now i'm playing the album i can see the cover art and that is fine. But! when i'm locking the screnn (using the top button) i usely see the cover art, but for newly added content i can't see the cover art! If i now restart iPod- the cover will be displayed in locking screen.
I'm not sure i'm clear enough so pl's let me know if any details required.
Thanks

I don't see why it would be damaging to your iPod... You can also turn it off and turn it back on; it should do the same thing.

Copying cover art from iTunes for use in iPhoto?

I have a large music library with cover art for each album, I manually added the cover art to iTunes by saving it as a .jpeg under the name of the artist and album on the desktop and dragging and dropping it into the appropriate album in iTunes. I then apparently erred by deleting the .jpeg from the desktop rather than saving it in a separate folder. When I look in the Album Artwork folder, it just leads me down a road of more folders and ultimately to an ".itc" cover (which I assume to mean iTunes Cover). Now I want to somehow get a .jpeg copy of the cover art back out of iTunes and into a separate folder so I can view the cover art in iPhoto. Is this possible? I really hope my error is reversible. All assistance will be appreciated.

Hi,
I'm pretty new to FCE, so this might be useless. But I've found a trick (obtained from "Final Cut Express 2 Editing Workshop" by Tom Wolsky) which is to render audio at Item Level. It allows you to render a piece of music to the same sampling level as another item.
It seems to work fine, but some of these guys who've used this more might know of problems when using it.
Import your song from the Music folder (or wherever you have them stored) and just go into the Sequence/Render All or Render Selection menus and check the "Item Level." The next time you render your audio, it should render to the same properties as existing items in your project.
At least, that's how I gather it works. This won't help with copy protected songs as the guys mentioned, but the majority of my songs are not from the iTunes store, so it's useful to me. Hope that helps!

How do I change the cover photo of an album in the Photos App?

Hi,
in iPhoto you can change the cover art of an album or journal (but apparently not of a shared photo stream?!).
But how do I change the cover photo of a shared photo stream I created in the iOS 6 Photos app? It seems to be the first photo in that stream but I want to use another photo as the cover / key photo of that shared stream. Is it possible at all?
Thanks,
Stefan.

Which iPhoto are you referring to? iPhoto on your mobile device or iPhoto on your Mac? If on your Mac you'll need to change the date of the photos in the Event via the Photos ➙ Batch Change ➙ Date menu option:
This will change the date of all selected photos in the Event and thus change the date range of the Event.
Or you can use the Photos ➙ Adjust Date & Time menu option and change just one or two photos which can also change the date range of the Event.

How to see cover art while browsing playlists?

Is there any way to see the art work displaying in the Selected Song window or anywhere else while browsing the Playlists?
I can't only see the art cover when I select a song, but not before. It would be useful to be able to the cover art of the albums that I have created in the playlist.
I'm using iTunes v4.7.1
Thanks in advance!

Is there any way to see the art work displaying in the Selected Song window or anywhere else while browsing the Playlists?
Yes, when you have a song selected.
I can't only see the art cover when I select a song
You mean you CAN only see it when a song is selected?
It would be useful to be able to the cover art of the albums that I have created in the playlist.
This feature was introduced in iTunes 7.
You can view all the artwork with the songs.

The cover art is missing on my playlists songs, but not for songs in the cloud on my iphone 5s

Ever since I updated to iOS 8, not 8.0.2 (still haven't done that update), the artwork on my music is missing for any songs that are on my phone and in my playlists. My music that is stored in the cloud still has its cover art. All of the songs still play, but I really want the artwork back.

I am not sure how many of you had to re-os, power off multiple times, or restore. So, try these and hit 'like' and/or 'This solved my question' or 'This helped me', if it works as explained below.
What you do on the iTunes is what appears on iPhone. Artwork missing in iPhone is unlikely, if iTunes on PC has them. I am going to be very simple in writing, for everyone to understand as clear as possible. Follow the below steps -
1. Go to iTunes (On PC). Right Click and select 'Get Info'.
2. If any error message gets displayed there, try to play it once or locate that song manually, if you have recently changed the location.
3. Select 'Artwork' tab and ensure the artwork is still there.
4. (Here is the funny part) - Go to 'Info' tab (the tab between 'Summary' and 'Video')
5. Ensure for any particular song, the following values are always captured -
a) Name -
b) Artist -
c) Album - (Most of us tend to delete this album data, to avoid seeing duplicate of the name or artist)
Eg. On my iTunes (PC), a song is categorized -
a) Name - Bad Day (Ladies and Gents - I did not purposely select this song )
b) Artist - Daniel Powter
c) Album - Bad Day
Try the above simple step and see if it works. If not, reply back to me and mention the exact error message. Can try to help.

Cover art gets lost between 2 Macs

Hi,
I'm importing my whole CD collection to have it playable on iMac with FrontRow. Because of ergonomics and the fact that the iMac is not net connected I'm ripping my CD's on another Mac and then transfering them with USB memory card or with DVD-RW. I have found that if I forget to add the cover art to the album and then try to do it later, the art does not travel with the file ? I'm always copying the iTunes Library file and the .xml file from the user folder with the actual music files. The art that was pasted with the correcsponding ripping file is seen on my iMac just fine, but the art that was added later and though it shows alright with my G5 when transfered to iMac doens't show up there in the FrontRow ? Any ideas what to do ? also FrontRow insists that I have two different folders of one artist (named excactly the same) although iTunes only shows one artist name ?
Thanks

Depending on the file format you use for importing CDs, artwork is stored inside the audiotracks (or isn't): MP3, AAC: artwork is stored inside the audiotracks; AIFF, Wav: artwork is stored somewhere else.

Same cover art on all albums!
