Sharing my fix for blank album art in iphone

Just wanted to share this. I have had the problem many have had where artwork displays in itunes but shows up as blank in the iphone. The fix (v 3GS) was to in itunes, select all the songs of the affected album, right click to get info. When the dialog appears, check only the art box, cut and paste the artwork in the box. Itunes then rebuilds the songs with the art, and the next sync pushes the changes to the phone.
Also found out that if you accidentally paste the wrong art onto an album in itunes (where you drag and drop the art while a song is playing), you can drop new art over it, but the old art is still displayed. Doing a get info for the song that was playing shows both art images on the art tab and you can delete the one you were trying to get rid of.
Got direction from this forum. Hope this is useful to someone....

Although this discussion is a bit old I think it's still worth answering it as google points to this page.
The only reason for the above to happen (Different cover art appearing in horizontal and vertical) I can think of is that Iphone Cover Flow is an Album Art only.
iPhone and iTunes has at least two modes to display your music in that is:
* Song mode - where tune's art is pulled from the file if any exists.
* Album mode - where album art is shared by multiple tunes with the same "ALBUM NAME".
So if many of the songs has no ALBUM NAME at all or share something like Unknown etc. It's is likely that in Cover Flow Mode (Which is Album View) those will have some strange things displayed.
On the other hand I currently have slightly different problem hence my search. My Art is mixed up especially among the podcasts. Totally... I'll try full resync.
BTW. If you got the Art in one way or another but after uploading the tunes to iPhone you don't see it it's likely that you downloaded Art only for one of them and iTunes is showing that one for all that share the album name. If you get the art from iTunes Store then Highlight all tunes that should contain the art and right-click>Get Album Artwork, otherwise Get Info and double-click on the Artwork field on the right-hand side.

Blank album art

I know this must be asked alot of times, but i wanted to create my own thread so i can ask more question. I experience blank album art in my ipod. how can i fix this?

yeah it shows correctly on iTunes... the art work on my iPod, once awhile it will disappear and show the music note image... or it just shows a half loaded image....
In order to repair that half loaded image, i had to go online to download a new art work and replace it with the old one.

Mixed up album art in iPhone's iPod

When viewing albums in Coverflow the album art is all correct. However whenever I flip the phone around some random album art is shown in place of the correct one.
Anyone else having this problem? Any ideas? I am working on re-syncing my music (which takes forever by the way) to see if that fixes it.

How do you know that the owner lives outside your country?
You are wasting your time here as whomever lost the phone will most likely not look here as this is not a lost and found. If the phone is unlocked (doubtful) try calling some of the contacts on the phone so maybe they can reach the owner. In anycase turn it over to the police. They are probably better than you at trying to locate the owner.

Best way for getting album art into iTunes/iPod?

First of all, when you pull the track listing down from Gracenote when importing CDs, does the album art come with it? I don't see any art. And then if not, what is the best source for getting a low resolution digital file for each CD imported and how do you make sure it will make it to your iPod from iTunes? Is there any easy or streamlined process? Also, do the low resolution files add up for each song and take up hard-drive space? Thanks for any input.
Mac Mini Mac OS X (10.4.3)

click
on it on drag it to the desktop, then into the album
art box of iTunes.
I believe that copying directly into the iTunes box
will use more space on your HD than going via the
desktop.
It's the other way round.
If you copy it to your Desktop then it takes space there and if you then copy it to iTunes it gets added to the music file making that bigger.
Of course, if you delete it from the Desktop and empty the Trash then you won't have it taking space.
Here's a useful app for working out where all your space is going: Disk Inventory X

Good source for quality album art

A good source for getting good quality album art, which has a higher resolution than Amazon, try http://www.coveralia.com/ which eventhough it is in Spanish, simply type the artist in "BUSCADOR:" at the top, and it is obvious from there. I've been using it for five minutes, and looks impressive. My iPod has not arrived yet, so cannot test that part, but I assume it will work as it goes into iTunes ok....

This is the same as copy & pasting from Amazon, which has lower quality. As long as you own the CD, I think you are OK. Anybody else able to comment.

Importing pics for blank album covers

I copied over 100 cds into iTunes...now, of course, all I see is blank album covers when I flip through my albums...is there a way to import pics of album covers? I am loving my iPhone, but it would be so much oooler to be able to flip through album covers...like in the commercial

In iTunes, you can pull down under Advanced to "Get Album Artwork". If the iTunes store can find the same name for album it should get it.
If they're albums that iTunes can't find, you can get either an album cover picture or any other picture and copy it. Select the song (or multiple songs) in your library, Get Info, and paste it in the artwork spot.
Hope that helps!

What is the absolute best program for finding album art? [free]

I would love to have one of those free programs that automatically finds album art and lyrics, for mac or PC, but what is the best one?

This is for Windows, it's free, and pretty simple to use.

Incorrect album art on iPhone even when I try to manually correct the album art in iTunes.

I recently replaced my iPhone 3GS with a new iPhone 4S. The album art is fine when viewed via my iMac in iTunes, but when I sync an album to my phone, it gives it a random album cover from my library instead of the correct one. I go to iTunes and manually re-upload the album art but when I sync again it's still incorrect. Does anyone know how to fix this?

I think I have the same problem with an iPhone 3GS running 6.0.1 and iTunes 10.7. I didn't have this problem with 6.0.0. My album artwork is fine in iTunes but when I transfer it to my iPhone, I get either the wrong album art or no album art. I've tried deleting the music from the phone and re-adding it. I rebuilt the album art cache. I reformatted all my music as an audiobook and then back to music (don't laugh - this worked for someone!). I loaded Media Monkey to see if there was something wrong with my mp3 files. My mp3 files are fine and if I load my iPhone with Media Monkey, the artwork is fine. I think the problem is that the vast majority of my music is 300 bps or better mp3 files. Even if the artwork is imbedded in the mp3 file, iTunes is doing something wacky with the album art and I can't figure out how to fix it. If it weren't for all my iTunes playlists, I would just use Media Monkey to manage my music on my iPhone.

Missing album art on iPhone

When I play some music on my iPhone, it is missing the Album Art. The Album Art is in iTunes on my Mac. I have iTunes Match. How do I get all the album art that is in iTunes on my Mac to also be on my iPhone? I have an iPhone 4s with the latest software on the iPhone and Lion on my Mac.
Kevin

I just turned on Music MAtch adn it's not brining over any art work even though its in my iTunes library. This ****** me off since I've speen hours upon hour finding art work and completeing my iTunes library. It would be nice if Apple would spend a little more time fixing the iTunes artwork so that it can match easier and also flow over to devices.
We've busted our ***** for our art work...... helloo Apple!

Grayed out, unplayable songs and missing album art on iPhone after 5.1 update with iTunes 10.6

I have been having these problems on my iPhone since the above updates. First, the grayed out songs: I have my iTunes account set to sync over the air with wifi. I charge my iPhone overnight, but sometimes when I unplug the iPhone in the morning, a great majority of the songs get grayed out and unplayable. I can see the songs listed, but they don't play. I then have to sync the iPhone on my iMac in iTunes to enable all the grayed out songs to be re-copied to the iPhone. As if that isn't inconvenient enough, I now am encountering missing album art for every song on my iPhone. All the album art exists in my iTunes account on my iMac, but I can't get the album art to appear on my iPhone. This literally happened overnight one day ago and I can't figure out how to get the album art back. I do have sufficient storage space on my iPhone, so that possible explanation is eliminated.
Re: the grayed out songs: what is causing this and is there any way to avoid it?
Re: the missing album art: again, what is causing it and how can I restore the art to my iPhone?

Unfortunately, the only solution to this problem was to restore my iPhone. Many hours later, the problem was resolved, but for how long?

Mixed up album art on Iphone 5

I have recently backed up my Iphone to my computer, this was successful and my music is now stored on my computer. The problem is that the album art is all mixed up so when I play a song it shows a picture from a completely different song which is really irritating! can this be solved?

Hi, I'm afraid this didnt work but thanks for the advice anyway

Is there a fix for the incompatibility issue between iphone 5c running ios 7 and sentra bluetooth?

So i can pair my iphone 5c running ios 7 successfully with my 2012 sentra, bluetooth, however when placing and receiving calls, I hear a clicking, constant and unnverving. My wife's LG Cosmos works without a hitch. I can use it to make calls, etc through my nav system (may have to switch until there is a fix to iphone 5c). The nissan website indicates that compatible iphones go up to iphone 5. Anyone know of a fix for ios 7, iphone 5c? or any other workaround.
Thanks.

I ended up getting a new phone, straight through Apple. I called their technical support and went through all he basics again and they decided to replace it. Was a pretty quick process - after defaulting and resetting the whole phone (about 2 hours), I called them back to inform that there was no change, so they set up the order.
I had to give my CC# so they could hold a charge on it (in case I didn't send my old phone bach, which they sent me a pre-posted package to send it in anyway). Had a brand new iPhone 4S in my hands in 4 days, which was pretty decent. I had uploaded everything previously to iCloud, so setting up the new phone was a snap.
Only thing I really didn't like was they charged me almost 30 bucks for shipping or processing, or something. Not so sure that should have been my responsibility after spending so much on a brand new product, only to have to have it warrantied after, like, a month.

Is there a fix for the connectivity problems with iPhone 5S and ISO 7.0.2?

Is there a fix for the bluetooth connectivity problems with iPhone 5S and ISO 7.0.4?
I am having problems connecting the BT Audio and the handsfree phone connectyion is unreliable in 2012 Mitsubishi Lancer XL.
All worked OK with ISO 6.

Hello CraigNicholson
You would need to sync with iTunes to get that process to work for you. Check out the article below for more information on how to resolve that issue to get the proper token to use Push Notifications again.
