Why are my album covers from purchased songs on itunes dissapeared

why are the album covers gone from the songs i purchased from itunes. i have part of them,the rest are gone

I have a slightly different problem. I have a few artists "Greatest Hits" albums, My iPohone's "iPod" doesn't know the difference between each album. For example:
Queen's Greatest Hits, Guns 'N' Roses Greatest Hits and Alice Cooper's Greatest Hits are all jumbled together into 1 "album" this is fine sometimes gives a bit of variety, but some days i just want to listen to GNR or Queen or Alice Cooper.
The only way to do this is to go in through the "Artist's" Tab instead of "Albums" still, it is annoying.
Any help for this would be appreciated.
(sorry to distract from the original post )
Cheers!

  • Lost album covers from amazon and not itunes store?

    lost some of my album covers since transfer of library to new computer. how do i get it back as some music was purchased through amazon and not itunes store?

    If it's a relatively small number of songs, select the song or songs (with missing album artwork) in the iTunes music library listing.  Right-click on the selected song(s) and select Get Album Artwork.
    If you want iTunes to go through your entire music library, select Music under LIBRARY in the iTunes sidebar.  From the menu bar, under the Advanced menu, select Get Album Artwork.  Don't do it this way, if you have some albums where you added artwork that you selected yourself, because they may get replaced.
    It does not matter if a song was purchased in the iTunes Store, ripped from CD, or purchased at Amazon (or elsewhere).  If the song can be identified as a song in the iTunes Store database, it will get the artwork for it.
    Some artwork may not be available.  In that case you can add your selection.  A good way to do it, if the songs came from Amazon, is to find the song or album at Amazon.  On the web page for the song or album, click-hold-drag the image (of the album artwork) from the browser window to the iTunes window, and drop it where the album artwork normally appears.  NOTE:  You can do this for multiple songs at one time.

  • Why are there 2 versions of same song in Itunes folder

    Hi,
    Itunes is not showing double songs in the player, but when I go to the folder where the .m4a files are located there is both a "song.m4a" and a "[00g.....]song.m4a".  Some folders have this and some don't.  Why?  Also, some folders have "AlbumArt_{2DE.....}_Large.jpg", "AlbumArt_{2DE....}_Small.jpg", and "AlbumArtSmall.jpg".
    All these duplicate files take up a lot of space.  What are they for?
    Thanks.

    Depending on the way you add music to iTunes and the setting of "Copy files to iTunes Media folder when adding to library" it is possible for it to create duplicates of files you have imported on a previous occasion. You can clear these type of duplicates up with a script I wrote recently. See this thread for more info.
    The album art images you refer to are are created by Windows Media Player. Generally they are not a problem, but if your files get rearranged because you edit the tag data then iTunes won't move the artwork when it moves the files which can leave orphaned artwork hanging around in otherwise empty folders. I have a script here which can clean up orphaned art.

  • HT201272 How do I download previously purchased albums from iTunes when the album has either disappeared from my computer or the tunes are not playable?  The album shows as purchased on the iTunes store, but not available to download to my authorized devi

    How do I download previously purchased albums from iTunes when the album has either disappeared from my computer or the tunes are not playable?  The albums show as purchased on the iTunes store, but not available to download to my authorized device.  I also have albums that appear in my library, but are not able to be added to my iPod from my computer

    When you download something from the iCloud, it is a brand new licensed copy. Your iCloud account just contains a notation that you have this app. It isn't storing an actual copy of the app from your Mac.

  • Why are certain albums like ones from Tool or Ozzy era black sabbath not available in the U.S. store

    Also, in some cases the artist will not allow download sales, or insists on a download store selling complete albums only rather than offering individual tracks, something Apple resists. In any case, it's not by Apple's choice; it's by decision of the content owners.

  • Purchase song on iTunes from 5c phone but can't play song on phone or mac

    Purchased song on ITunes and entered correct apple id.  song downloaded to iPhone 5C.  Phone then synced with MacPro laptop on OS Mavericks latest version.  This song will not play on phone or laptop.  Get Info shows correct Apple ID.  Whenever I try to play this song, get message this song is not authorized for this computer.  I sign same Apple ID with correct password and get message Computer already authorized.  When I click to play on same song again, get same message this song is not authorized for this computer.  Song will not play on phone either.  Just skips to next available song to play. 

    What is the exact text of the error dialog?
    If I understand you correctly you are saying that you and your wife both use the same MacMini with seperate User Accounts. You each have your own iTunes Store Apple IDs. This could be a problem. One computer can only be associated with an Apple ID once every 90 days. This applies to using iTunes Match, automatic downloads and downloading past purchases. See this Apple KB article: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4627?viewlocale=en_US&locale=en_US
    Since you apparently had the MacMini associated to your Apple ID for iTunes Match, if your wife attempted to re-download anything from her purchase history she would have been prompted to associate the computer with her Apple ID, which it sounds like she did. At this time you must wait the 90 days before you may re-associate the MacMini with your Apple ID.

  • Why can't I get a purchased song to load on my iPhone?

    Why can't I get a purchased song from iTunes to load on my iPhone? I haven't had this problem before? Any clues as to what I am not doing properly, please help.

  • Why can I only see my purchased songs and not my entire library when I use an ipad?

    Why can I only access my 'purchased' songs when I sign into an ipad with my AppleID.  How can I access my entire itunes library (purchased, playlists and downloaded music)?

    If it's iTunes purchased music then you might be able to re-download it on your iPad via the Purchased tab in the iTunes store app - it will download into the Music app. If you want your other music from your computer's iTunes (e,g. music copied from CDs and playlists) then you will need to sync it from your computer's iTunes to your iPad's Music app.

    Mostly because you are not using any capital letters or paragraph returns and your post is difficult to read.

  • Why are some items on the purchased list duplicated

    Why are some items on the purchased list duplicated

    Perhaps you are repeatedly checking for available updates while downloads are in progress. This can sometimes cause more than one copy to be added to the download queue.

  • Screen Saver of itunes album covers.. choosing album covers from playlist??

    Is it possible to have a screen saver, like the one in preferences which combines all your album covers from itunes, but instead choosing the album covers from a playlist?

    I don't have an answer for you, but I do have a few questions.
    How would the screen saver know which playlist to display album covers from? If it is selecting covers from all of your playlists, how is it different from a screen saver which shows you all of your album covers?

  • Why are my images scrolling from outside the Page width?

    Why are my images scrolling from outside the Page width? I am positive i has all the settings correct, to have an image parallax scroll from the edge of the page into the page and out again. But the images are flying in from the browser width - not the page width. This is not the effect I am after.
    Any suggestions on how to fix this? Given the key position is only linked to the height, I can't for the life of me work out how to ensure the images start moving from a certain position onthe left and right of the page.
    Thanks

    I think the effect you are seeing is a result of how the lineHeight is set up. By default, the lineHeight will be calculated as 120% of the size of the largest thing on the line -- in your case, this is the inline graphic. This is designed to leave space between the line before and the line with the graphic. So it is taking the height of the graphic, multiplying by 120%, and making this the distance between the previous line and the line with the graphic. So the bigger the graphic, the bigger the space above the graphic. Normally this works well with text, but in this case you may want to get closer to "set solid". You can do this by setting the lineHeight to 100%. Or you may wish to leave a couple of percent for the descenders of the previous line. Or, another alternative that may work well for you if you really know exactly where you want the line set, you could measure the graphic, add on the number of extra pixels to leave for the descenders, and make the lineHeight a constant. So you could do something like this:
    <img lineHeight="104%" height="411"/>
    or this:
    <img lineHeight="423" height="411"/>
    Obviously you would still need to specify the source and any other parameters you want on the image.
    Note that if you are trying to fit a 200 pixel high graphic into a 200 pixel high container, you will hit the same problem -- in order to fit the graphic, the container will have to be slightly bigger than the graphic in order to fit the descenders on the last line. This is true even if the last line contains only the graphic, and no descenders (or text) at all.
    Hope this helps,
    - robin
