Won't Process Album Artwork!

I entered the correct artists and album name, but it still won't process the artwork. The album is "Across the Universe (Music from the Motion Picture)" with the artists being "Various Artists"... It says artwork could not be found every time I try to get the artwork. Anyone know what's wrong?

+even though they are present in the iTunes store and correctly tagged in my library the same as in the store.+
That might not be a correct statement. If the itunes store has a blank space after the album name, you would not be able to see it. And from my past experience, that is enough for itunes not to fetch the artwork.
Also their underlying database can be wrong, even if it displays OK. A few years back, they had Led Zeppelin that would not fetch artwork until someone figured out to misspell it to Lead Zeppelin (they have since fixed that particular problem).
You can fiddle around seeing what they have done wrong, email them to report a problem, or just find artwork on the web and paste it in. The last option is certainly the quickest!

  • I don't want it to "Process Album Artwork"

    Every time I add audio to iTunes it says it's "Processing Album Artwork", and I don't want it to do this - there's not going to be anything in the file, and it's not going to be available on-line.
    So how can I configure iTunes not to do this?

    iTunes prefs -> General.
    Uncheck *Automatically download missing artwork*.
    there's not going to be anything in the file
    There is no file unless iTunes finds artwork
    *Processing Artwork* is iTunes reading the info for the tracks and then searching for the artwork.
    and it's not going to be available on-line.
    Why not?
    There's no harm in letting to look.

  • Why does iTunes spend ages processing album artwork for no apparent reason?

    I have a 65,000+ files on assorted drives. I tag in another ap, so I don't use iTunes to get artwork. However, everytime I add files to my playlist it insists on "processing album artwork" for every file, even if there isn't any, or if the files are being re-added after being moved to a different drive. What is iTunes up to, & is there any way of disabling it?
    On a related note, it would be really useful if iTunes could be set to search certain folders for altered, moved or deleted files & update the library automatically. Any chance this could be introduced in a future version?

    No, it isn't! Maybe I should check it, then restart iTunes, uncheck it again & restart iTunes again. Might be worth a try.

  • "Processing album artwork" - - - ARRRRRGHHHH!

    Can someone please tell me how to turn this stupid feature OFF? Please don't tell me to uncheck the option to automatically download album art. It's never been on. Anytime I make a change to my songs, the itunes software spends a good 10 minutes cycling through every album cover while displaying "Processing Album Artwork. Getting X of Y". Whenever this is going on, my entire PC becomes completely unusable. iTunes robs every spare byte of memory it can get its electronic fingers into.
    Google "itunes processing album artwork" & you'll see the 100's of users reporting this exact same issue, but no one seems to know a fix. Message board questions just go unanswered. Surely there's a needle setting somewhere in the haystack of options.
    HELP! I'm ready to throw this thing through the window.

    Nothing but problems. The only reason I need itunes is for my new itouch. For my other ipods I use Media Monkey - windows only. Apples doc are very poor and it seems that itunes is designed for only one thing and that is to make it easy to buy songs from the store, all the other features you find in winamp, media monkey, etc... seem to be missing or don't work right. I should be able stop album processing and gapless playback, but the check boxes do nothing. Very disappointed with this product.

  • Can I turn of "Processing Album Artwork"

    I don't have the slightest interest in Album Artwork. All I want out of I-tunes is to play a library or playlist. No artwork, no Ipod, no I-tunes store, etc. All I need is the playback function on my PC.
    I just upgraded to the newest version out of curiosity.
    I previously used version 4.9 and could load 16,000 songs into a library in 3 or 4 minutes.
    This version insists on "processing album artwork", which is useless in my case.
    I used the search function on this forum and found a supposed solution. I deleted the Album Art folder and highlighted everything in my library, right clicked, "got info", and chose to delete artwork.
    I then reloaded the library and the application insists on processing album artwork again. It has so far taken 15 minutes and the library is less than half loaded.
    I reload my entire library perhaps once a month.
    Can this "feature" be defeated entirely? If not, I am going back to version 4.9, which works fine on Vista and does not go through this routine.

    That choice is already unchecked.
    I handle my library as I do because it is constantly changing. It would be very time consuming to manually enter new MP3 files as I rip them--or to delete old mp3 as I get rid of them. The quickest way for me to do this (4 minutes once a month) is to replace the entire library with my entire MP3 collection as it stands on that day, rather than add songs bit by bit during the month. I don't let I-Tunes control my library if I can help it. I need it for one purpose: playback on a PC.
    I use it rather than other similar apps because I like the full screen interface.
    What took 4 minutes with earlier versions now takes over a half hour.
    The new version has no functionality I need that is not in version 4.9. The only reason I am even considering the current version is that 4.9 allegedly has security issues. I don't know yet how serious those are supposed to be, but I have never had any problems.

  • 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!

  • IPod Photo won't display album artwork for purchased songs

    I bought some songs on the ITunes Music Store, and I can see the album artwork on the ITunes, I can also see in my IPod the artwork for most of the songs that I've downloaded, but I CAN'T see the artwork for those recently purchased.
    I also noticed that when I purchased songs I had a duplicated file for each one of them, stored in \iTunes\iTunes Music\ and \My Downloads\ respectively, so I deleted the copies from \My Downloads\
    Bottom line is, I can see all the album artwork in my iTunes, but my iPod Photo won't display some of it (specifically, the songs that I purchased)

    Probably, the easiest way to resolve this is to copy the artwork from one song on an album and paste it into every song on that album.
    In your iTunes Library, choose an album that has artwork issues; choose one track that has the artwork and copy it. Then:
    the slightly longer method is to check each song individually, until you find the one with the missing artwork. Paste (the copy previously made) from one of the other tracks on the album.
    a slightly quicker method is to highlight all the songs on that album (make sure it is just that one album) and paste the artwork into the box.
    Sync the iPod with your iTunes Library.

  • 160gb ipod classic won't display album artwork...sometimes

    I have a 160GB iPod Classic (version 2.0.4 PC), and ran into a strange problem regarding displaying album artwork. Here's what I can describe:
    --> When browsing through albums, any albums that have been added to my iPod or had their info changed since a certain time (not sure of the exact date but I believe it to be July 2013) do not display artwork.
    --> If these albums are played, one song from the album will not display artwork, but all the rest will. I can't detect any set pattern as to which song won't display artwork once I update it, but I'm sure there's some pattern.
    --> All the album artwork is displayed on Cover Flow and on iTunes, but not in these places.
    --> It doesn't matter whether I downloaded the artwork directly through iTunes (i.e. clicked "Get Album Artwork") or put in artwork from a file on my computer, this happens literally every single time.

    Probably, the easiest way to resolve this is to copy the artwork from one song on an album and paste it into every song on that album.
    In your iTunes Library, choose an album that has artwork issues; choose one track that has the artwork and copy it. Then:

  • Remote app won't display album artwork on IPhone 5s

    Hi All,
    When I connect my IPhone 5s to my iTunes library (mac mini) the album artwork is not displayed. Instead; there's text (Artist, Album and song title) where the artwork should be.
    My friends and family with various other iOS devices have the artwork display fine! What's wrong with my IPhone?!
    Please help!

    iPhone 4s, iOS 5.0.1
    Removing then restoring the music library still showed unsynced artwork.
    The problem was eliminated (finally!) after I deleted all downloaded artwork. Some but not all songs had the proper artwork embedded in their files. It appears that iTunes for Windows displays the proper embedded artwork but in Music on the iPhone the downloaded artwork over-rode the embedded artwork and was out-of-sync.
    Upon deleting all downloaded artwork many albums' artwork was blank, both in iTunes for Windows and Music on the iPhone but at least artwork was synced! I copied artwork images off the Internet and embedded artwork in music files. Sync problem resolved.
    This is costly in file space; there'd be a single instance of downloaded artwork per album vs. multiple instances of artwork in embedded files. So be it.
    Perhaps if I had deleted all embedded artwork and relied solely on downloaded artwork.... will remain unanswered.

  • Updated to latest I-Tunes. Since then whenever I import a new cd to the library it won't get album artwork.How do I get the artwork. My I-Tunes is set to automatically download missing album artwork but it doesn't work.

    Updated to latest I-Tunes. Since then whenever I import a new cd to the library it does not get the album artwork. Automatically download missing album artwork is enabled in Preferences but the art work still does not appear in my library?

    I'm having the same problem as the OP, I can't find that file "profiles.ini"
    can't re-install firefox, deleted all files related to Mozilla and Firefox, still locked out by missing Firefox profile
    I posted on my own problem recently w/ no response (https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/search?a=1&asked_by=GPStyne&w=2),
    so far all posts on this support page have been confusing and I've been unable to find any of the things they spoke of trying to change it.
    at this point I'm begrudgingly running Safari hoping someone can help me fix this, can't believe i can't just delete all and reinstall like a normal program/app

  • Why won't my album artwork for my purchases show in the album list?

    I've been tidying up my iTunes library and trying to get all my albums showing their artwork with it.  For some reason my purchased albums do not display their album artwork in the albums list, but if I click on the album the artwork displays then.  All of my music that has come from my own music collection displays the album artwork in the list and when I pull up the album.  How can I fix this?  It drives me nuts!

    Try:
    - Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
    Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Unsync all music and resync
    - Reset all settings      
    Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
    All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
    - Restore from backup. See:                                 
    iOS: How to back up           
    - Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.

  • ITunes won't sync album artwork on iPhone 4s, Software 6.1.3

    So I bought a new laptop and wanted to sync my music but it told me that I had to delete it in order to be used with a new computer. I did so because I have it backed up. Now when I try to drag music into it, it syncs but no matter what I do the album artwork doesn't show up in my iPhone but I have it my library. Its starting to really frustrate me. I tried copying and pasting the artwork when my iPhone is connected but it still doesn't work. Can anyone help me?

    I want to second this problem.  The only difference is that I'm on an iPhone 5.  I can delete most songs by swiping my finger across them and hitting the delete button, but every once in a while a song can't be swiped... nothing happens.  I have tried looking for something in common with the songs, but have not come up with anything.

  • Itunes continues to freeze when i am trying to import my music. I have rough 600gb of music and it continues to freeze on processing album artwork

    When trying to import my music (about 600gb worth) itunes keeps freezing on processing artwork. Any ideas on how to maybe bypass the art work? or anything to keep this from happening.

    I had the same a long time ago, and the reason why it happened to me was of 1 corrupt mp3 file.
    I imported the files in batch (but maybe this will take to long with 600gb of music files) and then found the corrupt mp3 file, after I repaired it with Mp3val everything was alright again

  • 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...?

  • TS1815 unable to download album artwork

    I am re-organising my cd collection and copying to my new desktop using itunes, however, I could not download any album artwork for all the albums (over 450) which I brought (mostly from Hong Kong). I have authorised three computers using the same apple id. When I tried to get album artwork it shown processing album artwork but when end nothing had happened. Can anyone help? I am using window 7 and latest itune version.
    Thanks.

    If you can't use iTunes to get artwork you can get it from various other sources and add it manually. I find this site is a good source of artwork:
    CD/Album Cover Art Search from SlothRadio.
    iTunes 7 for Windows - Adding artwork to songs and other items
    Another place for finding suitable artwork is to go to Amazon. You can also locate artwork using Google image search and put the artist or album name. Locate the album from any of those sources, right click on the image and save it to the desktop, once it's there drag it to the iTunes artwork pane. Once you've added the artwork you can either delete the original file or keep it in a folder somewhere in case you need to use it again. Alternatively there are programs like these that help locate artwork: iTunes Art Importer or MP3 Tag
    If you have a scanner you can create your own artwork files by scanning the CD cover itself, this is particularly useful when you are dealing with rare recordings.
