Why isnt itunes finding album artwork

This is very frustrating

   2 reasons!
   Either you bought the album elswhere and iTunes doesn't carry the album. Or 2, iTunes actually has that album and artwork but make sure you edit the name and title of the album exactly the way iTunes has it on there store or else it won't pick it up. Once you title it exactly the way iTunes does and it picks up the artwork you can then go back and retitle it the way you want then your set.

  • Why won't my album artwork sync to my iPod Touch but it shows up on iTunes?

    Why won't my album artwork sync to my iPod Touch but it shows up on iTunes?

    Ok I had this problem, and for me at least what happened was that not all the album artwork was attached to all songs on the album.  So if you right click one of the albums you are having an issue with, the click artwork tab, and go through each song on the album, if it is missing from any of them it will not sync properly to any device.  Find the songs that have the artwork, and then right click to copy it, then go to songs without it, and right click in the blank box and paste it in there.  Then once finished with any issues you are having sync iPod, this should fix the problem.  It worked for me, and it was unbelievably frustrating to know I have the artwork, but it wasn't showing up anywhere on the iPod.  Hopefully this fixes the issue for you, like it did for me!

  • The Control A key is not working. I cannot multi-select my songs. I'm not sure if it is the problem with iTunes 10.6.1.7 or my PC settings encounter issues. Also, i cannot find Album Artwork online using iTunes and i cannot select any view form but List.

  • Updating Album Art, when iTunes says "Album Artwork Not Modifiable"

    How can I go about updating or adding album art when the Artwork area at the lower left corner of iTunes says, "Album Artwork Not Modifiable"? Every effort to add the artwork from iTunes has failed. When I paste the album photo from another site, it doesn't save.

    I figured this out. I found that the folder and files only had "read" privileges and not "read & write" privileges. I did the following:
    1. In finder I right clicked the parent folder for iTunes and selected "Get Info".
    2. Selected my user and changed the rights to "read & write".
    3. This step is the most important. With my user still selected in blue, you click on the options "cog wheel" below the users, at the bottom. Select, "Apply to the enclosed items". It may ask you again if you are sure, say "yes". By doing this you will apply your users "read & write" privileges to all folders and files underneath your iTunes folder.
    This worked for me and I wish you the best!

  • ITunes Embedded Album Artwork Management

    I have purchased an iPod Touch 4th generation (iOS updated to 5.1.1) and I have a few questions regarding the process iTunes uses to embed album artwork into mp3 files via the "get info" dialog.
    1. Does iTunes first resize** the chosen image file prior to embedding and then perform the embedding operation or is the image embedded without any prior modification?
    **By resize, I mean two possible operations that currently come to my mind:
    - Reshape the image so that it has a 1:1 width to height ratio
    - Compress the image so that for example, a 1000x1000 px image gets converted to a 600x600 px one.
    So does any such procedure take place in the <embedding> phase?
    2. Are there any repercussions to embedding artwork not having a 1:1 width to height ratio? For instance if I use a rectangular artwork instead of a square one, does it get displayed correctly on the iPod Touch?   on the iTunes? I am asking this because I remember reading somewhere that a 1:1 ratio was the recommendation for album artworks.
    (Found the link: http://www.ehow.com/info_12174326_wont-itunes-apply-album-artwork-movies.html)
    3. My final question is on how the artwork data is transferred to iPod during sync. Does iPod...
    a. read directly the metadata from the mp3 file's id3 tag itself to display the artwork on the screen, or
    b. read the cached image that is sent to it through iTunes. As far as I've been able to read through (and if I've understood correctly), when dealing with mp3's with embedded artwork iTunes first creates (from the embedded image) a cache of artworks in the user's Music folder for its own internal use.
    So does iTunes pass a copy of this cached image over to the iPod during sync, or does iPod directly access the image information in the mp3 file's tag, without having to depend on iTunes for providing it with the artwork seperately from the mp3 file?
    If the answer is b., a variant of the 1st question is called for:
    Does iTunes apply any kind of modification - resizing**, etc. during this cache generation phase?
    Thanks!

    Hi Xi,
    1. Does iTunes first resize** the chosen image file prior to embedding and then perform the embedding operation or is the image embedded without any prior modification?
    1. No.  No operation is made by iTunes, the image will be added as is.
    2. Are there any repercussions to embedding artwork not having a 1:1 width to height ratio? For instance if I use a rectangular artwork instead of a square one, does it get displayed correctly on the iPod Touch?   on the iTunes? I am asking this because I remember reading somewhere that a 1:1 ratio was the recommendation for album artworks.

    2.  Yep, the picutre will correctly be displays wathever your ratio is.
    3. My final question is on how the artwork data is transferred to iPod during sync. Does iPod...
    3. Artwork is embedded in the media file, therefore it is transfered as the media file (audio or video).

  • ITunes cannot find album artworks

    Hello, I imported some purchased Cd's I have at home to iTunes and the album artwork does not appear. I tried all the ways to make iTunes get the artwork as the iTunes help says and still, "artwork could not be found". Is there a way I can make iTunes to automatically download the album artwork??
    thank you

    Do you know I have the same problem.
    I go to HMV with my daughter and spend time browsing music together. We come home and inport our music. It always finds the track and album names but cannot find the Artwork. This does not seem to apply to odd or old stuff, even chart CDs.
    To add insult to injury if you type the album name into Itunes it is there, with the artwork.
    Another reason why I HATE Itunes......

  • Why won't iTunes sync album artwork to my iPhone?

    Today, I plugged my iPhone 3GS into my Windows 7 (32) computer. iTunes pops up and tells me that another computer is handling my library. Long story short- My phone loses everything. I decide to take this as a oppurtunity to fine tune my phone's library and I start dragging music to my phone. All of my music appears on the phone but none of the albums include any artwork. When I select an album from the iTunes library the artwork is present. When I take that album and drag it to my phone, the artwork doesn't come with it. Why? Is there some way to get the album artwork to show up on my phone without manually adding the 204 album covers one by one?

    Similar problem with the new iPad.  Could not sync H.264 1080p video. 
    Tried to move as both video and photo but received error message both times.  Confirmed CODEC was H.264.  The same video rendered as H.264 720p would sync.  Also, if the same video was rendered as as a MOV file (much bigger file), the file would sync. 
    Purchased iMovie and iPhot for iPad but they were no help.  Furthermore, in iTunes, adding 1080p video for transfer to iPad using both apps seemed to work (iPad memory decreased and files appeared in iTune transfer area) but could not find the files on the iPad using any app. 
    Apple tech support was courteous but could not help.  Bottom line: If iTunes would get out of the way, the iPad would be useable.

  • ITunes not finding album artwork

    I'm getting a bit sick of this - why does iTunes not find any album artwork any more, yet it recognises the album & finds all the tracks? This seems to be a constant problem on this forum - anyone have any ideas...? I have iTunes 11 & a desktop intel Mac, OS X 10.7.

    I wouldn't be in a hurry to upgrade to 8.2.
    Make sure that the *Album Artist* and Artist of your album matches up with what's in the iTunes Store EXCEPT if the artist has an ampersand (&) in it. Then put in everything up until the space before the ampersand. (You're free to edit the info after you've gotten the correctly downloaded artwork.) In some cases you may not get the correct artwork no matter how you match the data.

  • Why can't iTunes find album art when it is showing in Media Player?

    I am new to iTunes, having previously used windows media player. What a disappointment.  The sooner Apple get back to being a niche plyer the better. In Windows media player, every one of my albums has the artwork on it. Import to iTunes the crock of **** can't find the artwork for 71 albums. Not just a handful, 71!!! 
    I had heard that iTunes doesn't like compilation albums from a friend, several years ago.  No problem in media payer  - but in the bag of **** that is iTunes, my compilation albums (shop bought CDs) are listed as separate albums i.e I have 20 albums all called "the best of New Wave"!!!
    Finally before I sell my iPod back on to Ebay, I tried to import my MP3s to the Touch. Not enough room (I knew that) so opted to select which Albums I wanted. Now I have 250 albums, so do you think some overpaid ******* in Apple might have thought that folk would like to "select all" and then de-select the albums they didn't want? No...let's make it really irritating and get people to MANUALLY select each album, one by Fxxxing one. This really is the dark ages.
    Finally, for some reason, some of my albums (again perfectly intact in Media Player) have been split into two. In Media Player you can drag tracks from one album onto another to create the whole album.  Is this possible in iTunes? You know what, don't even bother answering, because I'm done with iTunes.

  • Why wont my itunes download album artwork

    when i click 'get album artwork' it says 'artwork could not be found'. ive checked that all the info is correct but it still wont work! help?

    iTunes supports two ways to associate cover art with albums:
    Right-click on the album and select Get Album Artwork - if the same album is available in the iTunes Store (matched by artist + album title) the artwork will be downloaded automatically.  The 'artwork could not be found' indicates either that the album you're looking at is not available in the iTunes Store, or is there with artist/title info sufficiently different from what you have to make a match possible.
    Otherwise, you can use artwork from other sources (images found on the 'net, your own scans of CD covers, etc.).  Right click on the album, select Get Info, then the Artwork tab.  It'll look like this (iTunes 12.1):
    You can then add an image in any one of three ways:
    Click the Add Artwork button, navigate to and select an image file you want to add, click Open.
    Drag and drop an image file from Windows Explorer to the Artwork tab
    Copy the image file to the Windows clipboard, either by right-click copy on the image file, right-click copy on the image in a web browser, or copy within any graphics program,  Then switch to iTunes and with the Artwork tab selected press Ctrl-V.  Prior to iTunes 12 you could also right-click > Paste in this scenario, but - either by intent or as the result of an unfixed bug - this has been missing from iTunes 12.0 and 12.1.

  • ITunes 10 Album Artwork Not Showing Up In Screen Saver

    After installing iTunes 10, my screen saver settings (which used to pull from my iTunes Album Artwork) are no longer working. The screen saver option now says "Your iTunes Library does not contain any songs with artwork" yet it does. The screen saver option is no longer finding it. Any thoughts would be helpful. Thank you.

    I have exactly the same.
    Screensaver settings says: "Your iTunes library does not contain any songs with artwork" which is simply lie! ;-)
    almost all albums covers are there in my main library.
    newest iTunes 10.5.3 (3) 64-bit
    Lion with all add-ons
    not long ago I have joined iTunes Match.. unfortunately haven't checked if it works before for long time..
    I have: repaired permissions, removed com.apple.screensaver. iTunesArtwork* in ~Library/Preferences/ByHost/.
    Still nothing.
    I have found that ~/Music/iTunes/Album Artwork/ has 4 directories inside:
    Cache
    Cloud
    Download
    Local
    .. first 3 had random named dir (the same) with what seems to be artworks directories. Local was empty still copying there this random dir didn't help too..
    Any ideas please?

  • Not finding album artwork....?

    Anyone else seeing this?? Just imported death magnetic from the CD and itunes isn't finding the cover art...

    I have tons of CDs that with WMP it has the artwork and when I load up itunes, nothing. go figure ... Im trying to find a way to make wmp and itunes place nice with the auto updating of the song info but between the two they love to fight and screw things up
    *NOTE: You must convert WAV files to another format before you can add artwork.*
    *From iTunes Help ...*
    Music and video you buy from the iTunes Store comes with its own artwork. You can add your own artwork to songs and other items in your library. You can add many popular types of still-image files, including JPEG, PNG, GIF, TIFF, and Photoshop.
    In list view (the leftmost View button), to display artwork for the currently selected item, choose View > Show Artwork or click this button (in the bottom left of the iTunes window):
    Here are ways to add artwork to music and video:
    ◼ To add artwork to one item, select an item in your iTunes library and drag the art file file to the artwork viewer.
    ◼ To add artwork to multiple items, select an item, choose File > Get Info, and click Artwork. To add art to the selected item, click Add (or drag the art file from your desktop to the artwork box). Click Next to add artwork to the next item.
    ◼ To add the same artwork to multiple items, hold down the Command key as you click each item, choose File > Get Info, click Artwork, and drag the art file to the artwork box.
    ◼ To add more than one piece of art to a song, drag more than one image to the same artwork box.
    ◼ To retrieve album artwork for songs in your library, select the songs and choose Advanced > Get Album Artwork.
    ◼ To have iTunes automatically download album artwork when you import a CD or add songs with missing artwork, choose iTunes > Preferences, click Store, and select “Automatically download missing album artwork.”

  • ITunes 10, album artwork won't show on ipod 'selected item'

    The songs on my computer display album artwork fine, but on my iPod (Classic) it only displays the 'Now Playing' artwork. If I set it to show 'Selected Item' it will only show the artwork of the song playing, if it's selected. It won't show album artwork of any other songs that I select, instead it shows the 'Drag Artwork Here' image, even when the songs already have artwork.
    The artwork shows up fine when I'm playing songs on my ipod, or if I click 'Get Info', but it just won't show up in the side bar. I've tried unistalling and reinstalling iTunes and it didn't make a difference. I can't restore my ipod to factory settings because a lot of the music I have isn't backed up. Is there anything I can do?

    Strangely I was able to find help myself. I checked one box under the settings that said something like "show album artwork". Strange because it was unchecked before, I had never checked it myself and previously all the artwork was visible properly...
    When I clicked that checkbox, to my horror iTunes said something to the effect of "Deleting artwork from 'iPod'". After that it went for a long time into a "Optimizing artwork for 'iPod'" and after that wait all the artwork is shown properly. I wonder what that did...?
