Visualization of album artwork ever time a song plays is itunes

I get this pop up on my desktop in the center of a screen with the album artwork popping up when a song plays (old or new songs) in itunes. It is there for 2 seconds as the song starts and goes away and i think it has to do with some visualization settings but can't figure out what it is. Can anyone tell me how to shut it off it is bothering me and i can't figure it out.
Thanks in advance

Yep. I know You Control Tunes does this. If you have this app, you should have rewind, play/pause & fast-forward buttons in your menu bar, to the right, near the clock and spotlight button. Click on the menu arrow to the right of these buttons, down at the bottom, there should be a "Controls" menu. Make sure "Show Overlay" is not checked. If it is, there's your problem.
If you don't know what I'm talking about, it's not this program. But hey, worth a shot, right?

Album artwork flashes briefly between songs on ipad mini

Has anyone else noticed that album artwork briefly flashes between songs on the ipad mini? It is very brief but it is there unlike the iPod on music playback.

I'm having the same problem, except I dont have itunes match enabled.
I synced my ipad and unchecked all my albums to remove them. Then I re-synced with the albums selected. They went back on WITH the artwork under 'artists' but then for some reason the next time I sync, some of the artwork under 'artists' is gone leaving only a music note for the cover.
It also has nothing to do with the cloud backup as I have experienced this with both backing up to the cloud and to my mac.
strange.......

How do I get iTunes on the iPad to NEVER show album artwork when clicking a song?

Hi Folks,
How do I get iTunes on the iPad to NEVER show album artwork when clicking a song?
I go in-and-out of the iPod app quite a lot (I use the iPad to help me while practicing music and I use multiple apps), so it's frustrating to have to constantly close the album artwork.
Apologies - I saw many threads about this but none that answered how to ALWAYS stop iTunes from jumping to artwork. If I missed the correct thread, I would appreciate a link.
Thank you.

That's what I thought - Apple generally has clean interfaces, so if I can't find an option to do something, it probably doesn't exist.
Thank you for a quick answer - and yes, I'll add this feedback.
I also just dropped Google feedback to PUT THE HOME LINK BACK IN THEIR LOGO.
What madness came over them to remove it??
I heard their engineers had a battle over this decision as well.

How do i copy album artwork to all the songs in an album

How do i copy album artwork to all the songs in an album as some of the songs do not have the artwork, as with the previous version of itunes you had to load artwork individually.
I have tried the copy and paste option and that does not work
Look forward to hearing from you

"How do i copy album artwork to all the songs in an album as some of the songs do not have the artwork, as with the previous version of itunes you had to load artwork individually."
That suggests some underlying issue, as iTunes has always (AFAIR) allowed artwork to be assigned with multiple tracks in a single action. For an album, right-click on the album, select Get Info, select the Artwork tab. You then have three options:
If the artwork image exists as a file, click the Get Artwork button, browse to and select the file, then click Open.
Drag and drop the image file from Windows Explorer to the Artwork tab (previous releases also allowed drag and drop from a web browser, this functionality is missing - either by design or as the result of a bug - in iTunes 12).
If you've copied the artwork image to the clipboard, press Ctrl-V on the keyboard to paste in the image (prior to the 1st release of iTunes 12 this could also be done using right-click > Paste - hopefully this will be restored as a bug-fix in the next update)
"I have tried the copy and paste option and that does not work."
There are three possible causes for this:
The format of your media files doesn't support embedded artwork - specifically, uncompressed audio in WAV format. You'll need to convert to Apple Lossless (without loss of quality) or either MP3 or AAC (if you're OK with lossy media) before artwork images can be associated with your media.
Windows' permissions are preventing your media files from being updated when iTunes attempts to embed the images (in a perfect world iTunes should report this as an error, but it actually does nothing). To check this, find the folder that contains media of interest in Windows Explorer (by default this will be C:\Users\user_name\Music\iTunes\iTunes Media\Music\artist_name\album_name), right-click and select Properties, Security tab - check that your Windows user account has full control over the folder.
The media files that you're trying to add artwork to may be set to read-only in Windows. Select the folder as before in Windows Explorer, right-click > Properties and make sure that the Read-only flag is cleared.

Hi TheGuru146,
It sounds like the iPod isn't restoring correctly. Try putting the it into Disk Mode manually and then restoring the iPod again as described in the article linked below.
Putting iPod into Disk Mode
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1363
iPod nano (7th generation)
Before placing the iPod into Disk Mode, verify that it has a charge.
Reset the device by pressing the Sleep and Home buttons simultaneously until the display shows the Apple logo. This should take about eight seconds.
When the Apple logo appears, press and hold the Volume Down and Volume Up buttons simultaneously until the device enters Disk Mode.

HT1386 album cover doesn't match song playing

I plugged my iphone into the computer to sync it and now the album covers don't match song playing. How can I fix this?

I have this same problem. The iPhone 5 cover art does not match any of the songs. The iPad 1 works perfectly off the same iTunes library. I went through the iTunes library and everything is correct their.
I tried deleting all of the music and resyncing. It did not change.
Any thoughts?

Welcome to the Apple Community.
Try deleting the problematic file (electing to remove original file if/when prompted) and then re-downloading the file from the iTunes store.
You can re-download content purchased from the iTunes store (availability varies depending on location) using the purchased option from the Quick Links section in the top right corner of the iTunes homepage in your iTunes application on your computer.
You can re-download content purchased from the iTunes store (availability varies depending on location) using the purchased option at the bottom of the screen of the iTunes app (or video app) on your iOS device.
If the problem re-occurs, select the content which is causing a problem and use the 'Report a problem' button in Your Purchase History using your computer.

How can I stop the little song info window that opens with every song played in iTunes

My album artwork doesnt Match the song.

The Album Artwork on my phone got all screwed up so now it will show a different artisits album artwork when im playing a song and was just wondering if there is a way to make it match again, all the artwork matches on my computer.

Since updating my iPhone 5 to iOS 7.1 I have the same problem. I wonder if and when Apple is going to fix this annoying bug.

Where is the album artwork when you store songs in an external harddrive?

I have all my songs on an external flash drive but I have the I-tunes program on the C drive of my windows laptop.
In I-tunes I pointed the storage to the E drive and it all works fine.
But there is one wrinkle. It looks as if some of the album artwork is still stored on the C drive and NOT in the I-tunes folder in the E drive.
I know this becasue when I hit "add folder" and added the entire contents of my I-tunes folder on the E drive I:
1 got all my songs - no problem
2 encountered a delay as the program told me it was finding artwork for about a third of my songs.
It looks like the E drive has artwork for all the albums to which I manually added artwork. But it does not have the artwork for songs where the artwork came from the advanced / get album artwork function.
Weird eh? Any thoughts?

Start > Run > diskmgmt.msc
Right-click on drive H: and click Change Drive Letter and Paths...

Album Artwork - expand on screen while playing the song

How do I get the album artwork to show on my ipod screen while it is playing the song? As in-- fill up the whole screen (expand) instead of on the left side? (While the song is playing) I have the silver 120g iPod classic. Thank you in advance!!

It used to be possible to do this on older iPods, but unfortunately it can't be done on the classic.

Apple TV album artwork stuck on one song

Played a iTunes song through home sharing on Apple TV. Now the Apple TV keeps displaying that song's album artwork when I play other songs from different artists. Can anyone help with a fix?

I have this same issue. It drives me crazy!

Yeah, it clears it up for a little bit, maybe an album or two, if you restart.
I found this and tried a restore as well, and that doesn't fix it at all.
Any other ideas?

Album artwork went missing but song details were updated

need help to know what's the reason why a certain album artwork went missing when you have updated them before manually, via posting a jpg file and dragging them on to the artwork space.
what i noticed whenever this happens all the other details such as song number and disc# and even the songwriters have been updated.
also on the comment space displays something like this:
0000047A 00000026 00005D13 00001BBB 00051243 0004071F 000080CF 00007EE2 0002DA82 00009478
i am not sure what these codes are but it gets so annoying that you get to update the artwork everytime it goes missing.
on the preference tab i unchecked 'automatically download missing artwork' but still something like connecting to internet automaticaly updates it.
this happens to some albums only not all. i wonder if someone can explain and give solutions that it will not update any existing artowrk i have on itunes. thanks.

am i the only one who's only having this problem? why is anybody not helping? thanks to answering my question.

Can't Get Missing Album Artwork 7 Consolidating "orphaned" songs into one a

Hi, I have two problems with artwork and managing albums:
1. itunes does not find the artwork. The vast majority of the albums are by the most popular rock bands, but itunes can not find the artwork and says that it does not exist.
Any ideas? Could it be an issue of formatting the songs? I recently transferred all of my songs over from and XP machine to a Vista machine.
2. When I import CDs, itunes often splits or orphans a few songs as separate, so they show up as their own album. This seems to happen when the main artist is singing a duet, or when the CD is a compilation of many artists. Any ideas of how to "merge" them into one album?
Thanks,
D

Hey there,
Regarding your album artwork, you need to make sure the artist name and the album name are entered in your iTunes libary exactly as they appear in the iTunes store. iTunes compares your library to the store collection to find matches and download album art for you, but it doesn't read the information the same as you or I would. The characters have to match one for one, including no spaces at the end of the artist or album name. The easiest way to circumvent character mismatches is to highlight all of the tracks of an album (control clicks or shift clicks) and click File > Get Info. You can then enter this information once and it will apply to each track.
Regarding the album splits, what you'd want to do is highlight all the tracks of the album and click File > Get Info. Enter the artist's name under both the Artist and the Album Artist fields, and enter the album name in the Album field.
Hope this helps
