Wrong Cover Art in iTunes 7.x.

I let iTunes find the cover art for songs that I haven't gotten it for already and am now scared to death that it has replaced others that had art. As I have encountered the songs that iTunes picked the art for and it's way off. The songs are completely and accurately labeled and still I get "Three Burials OST" for "The Big Chill OST"
What is this all about?
G4 FW800, 2GB RAM, 2-DVR110s, 4-500GB HDs, 3-Monitors, 2-Turtle Doves, 1-iTTUSB   Mac OS X (10.4.9)   Totally Stuffed/Max'd Out with lots of great toys.

You can tell iTunes to "Clear Downloaded Artwork" to get rid of the wrong image.
Getting iTunes to select the correct image, especially for compilations can be quite frustrating. I've been slowly cleaning up some old artwork from when iTunes could not pull artwork from the iTunes Store for music from other sources. I've learned to check the album in question by using the iTunes Store link in iTunes - I figure if it goes right the the album I'm all set - Wrong! Today I'm doing battle with a bunch of "20th Century Masters - The Millennium Collection" albums. I can go through the album song by song and every one goes right to the correct album - but when I "Get Album Artwork" it still may not find the album or will pull in volume 2 instead of volume 1, etc. I've tried making sure my albums names are exact matches to the iTunes store with the same bad results.
It really seems like iTunes uses a different search method for artwork than for the iTunes Store link. At least Google has an image search...

  • No volume, wrong cover art

    hi,
    i've installed v8 of iTunes and now have no sound. i get the message 'volume is set to lowest....' but it is not & i can listen to stuff on you tube & internet, but no sound when i play a cd either, so it must be iTunes somehow.
    my sound settings in preferences are correct/on.
    also, i get the wrong cover art on my iPhone & iPod. it's correct on iTunes though, but is mixed up on the gadgets.
    help much appreciated!

    I've been having lots of trouble getting most of my jpgs, pngs to load into the cover art spaces. It doesn't matter whether I drag or browse/choose a small photo, most of the time (90%?) the cover art won't load. I'm trying to load different art for different songs in a single playlist - I never had this problem before - any thoughts or suggestions? Oh, and often the art will show on the individual id tag, but when I use the grid or Cover Flow playlist View only a couple photos show up
    Perhaps I need to go back to iTunes 7 (I installed 8 but am not using the extras in 8)? Doesn't seem to matter what size or whether they're jpgs or pngs or what - I've tried changing everything around. I'm not new to Mac ither - I've been Apple-powered since 1994. Thanks, Rachel

  • Wrong 'Cover Art' - Upgraded the Art but still showing the Old one !!

    Hi,
    I have just added a New Episode to my Podcast ( using Garageband & iWeb, just like before ), at the same time I updated the 'Cover Art'. More glossy, attractive and original image and corrected the category, from just Education to Higher Education.
    This has now passed the 'iTunes' inspection ( the new episode ) and has been included into my iTunes Podcast. Here is the problem, even though I 'UPDATED' everything, "Cover Art & Category", iTunes are still showing my OLD Cover Art and the wrong Category. Why !!!
    I thought that when you added a new Episode or somehing and had made changes to the whole thing ( Podcast ) that it was changed ( updated ).
    Am I missing something, or is it that iTunes have 'missed' something.
    I do hope that someone can help and lead me in the right direction.
    Oh one more thing, I have used the '&' yet I get the '&amp' on my Podcast, yet I have seen on other Podcast's the '&' without the 'amp'. Any reason why mine is different ?
    Look forward to your comments.
    Steve

    Someone else posted about this. Actually, this is the reason why I am searching on here. I have the same exact problem. Mine has not been upgraded yet. But someone else suggested, when you change the image in your feed XML file, try renaming the picture first. It helped someone else. I guess when iTunes searched for a different file name is was finally able to change the image (which seems to be in a cache somewhere in iTunes, even though you host the files).
    It didnt work for me though. If you figure it out, let me know.

  • HT1473 How may one add cover art in iTunes 11, for a CD imported to the library? How may one add more than one images?

    How may one add cover art in iTunes 11, for a CD imported to the library?
    How may one add more than one images?

    I understand what you mean - I too, would like to see some variability in the 'default'. Besides having a single default, I would step that up to a default that changes with genre and media: ie. I could see using a sax for Jazz; a microphone for a Podcast, etc.
    I don't have the answer to your question yet, but I think I'm going to crack open the iTunes package to see what default images there are embedded in there.

  • Bridge for Mac without cover arts from iTunes

    Hello,
    I just upraded to Sony Bridge for Mac 3.9 (3903) and since then no cover art from iTunes albums is displayed any more.
    Previous Version of the Bridge had already some difficulties with Cover Art, mainly regarding TIFF-images. But now
    nothing at all is displayed.
    Of course I have restarted the application as well as the Mac itself - no change of the behaviour occured.
    Do I still have any options to try?
    with best regards
    Matthias
    Solved!

    Hello,
    I have mostly MP3-Files in my iTunes library (90%). Even purchased songs are converted to MP3 because of the higher compression, even with 160 kbit/s and VBR. But I think regarding coverart the graphics format is more important. Here native Apple cover art seems to be generally TIFF, which sometimes makes problems with Bridge for Mac, esp. larger images. If I convert those large TIFF-images to JPEG, the problems disappear most of the times.
    And "Yes", I sent a bug report to SONY directly.
    Thank you very much - Matthias

  • Copying cover art from iTunes for use in iPhoto?

    I have a large music library with cover art for each album, I manually added the cover art to iTunes by saving it as a .jpeg under the name of the artist and album on the desktop and dragging and dropping it into the appropriate album in iTunes. I then apparently erred by deleting the .jpeg from the desktop rather than saving it in a separate folder. When I look in the Album Artwork folder, it just leads me down a road of more folders and ultimately to an ".itc" cover (which I assume to mean iTunes Cover). Now I want to somehow get a .jpeg copy of the cover art back out of iTunes and into a separate folder so I can view the cover art in iPhoto. Is this possible?   I really hope my error is reversible. All assistance will be appreciated.

    Hi,
    I'm pretty new to FCE, so this might be useless. But I've found a trick (obtained from "Final Cut Express 2 Editing Workshop" by Tom Wolsky) which is to render audio at Item Level. It allows you to render a piece of music to the same sampling level as another item.
    It seems to work fine, but some of these guys who've used this more might know of problems when using it.
    Import your song from the Music folder (or wherever you have them stored) and just go into the Sequence/Render All or Render Selection menus and check the "Item Level." The next time you render your audio, it should render to the same properties as existing items in your project.
    At least, that's how I gather it works. This won't help with copy protected songs as the guys mentioned, but the majority of my songs are not from the iTunes store, so it's useful to me. Hope that helps!

  • Wrong Cover Art on iPad

    Curious situation.
    I copied a playlist to iPad (New) from iTunes with all the cover art for each track.
    When I play the tracks on the iPad the cover art is wrong for every track.
    When I play the exact same tracks - from the iPad - using iTunes on my MacBook Pro - the cover art is perfect.
    Exacts same tracks - wrong art when played on iPad, correct art when played from the iPad through iTunes on my Mac.
    Any ideas?

    Found the solution at:
    https://discussions.apple.com/message/16525017#16525017
    When accessing movies using the movie app on iPad and the movie thumbnail doesn't match, go to general setting on the ipad > movie > and logout (or enter the wrong password so that it logs off) of sharing, then log back in.  It will refresh all your music and movie thumbnails to match the movies you share using your home network. All credit goes to the person that posted this fix via the link above.
    Not sure yet if it has to be done again after new movies are added, but it's an easy short-term fix and works better then pulling your hair out.

  • Wrong album art from iTunes

    When I come across an mp3 which I bought from elsewhere and it has no artwork I search on iTunes to see if it is there - then match the album name and click download artwork. 9/10 it works fine but sometimes it gives me art which is totally wrong, even though when viewing the album in iTunes store is correct. For instance, The Very Best of Marvin Gaye is a nice cover but when iTunes downloads it for me it comes out as something called The Sounds of the Seashore - nowt to do with Marvin!
    Any ideas why this happens - any fixes?
    Thanks

    One of the biggest reasons that I've found where this happens is if there are "special" characters (i.e. ' " : ; ( ) -- those seem to be the biggest cuplrits,) in the Artist or Album name. There might be something else going on as well, as I'm also unable to download any Led Zeppelin artwork, even if the ID3 tags match the iTunes Store exactly.

  • Wrong cover art

    Some cover art is wrong on my iPod - it picked up another CD's cover and applied it to several other CDs. How can I correct them?

    Try these sites:
    http://www.slothradio.com/covers/index.php
    http://albumart.org/
    Step 1. Find the album art you are looking for.
    Step 2. Save the image to your computer.
    Step 3. Open iTunes. (If it isn't already open.)
    Step 4. Highlight the songs you want to tag with the album art.
    Step 5. With the songs highlighted, right-click and choose "Get Info."
    Step 6. Find the image you saved to your computer. Copy the image.
    Step 7. In iTunes, with the "Get Info" box open, paste the image into the "Artwork" box.
    Step 8. Click "OK."
    Step 9. Sync your iPod. The correct Artwork should now appear on your songs.

  • Metadata issues - wrong cover art, missing ratings etc

    Hi,
    I just bought a new iPhone 4S and upon setting up Home Sharing, I noticed that when I connect to my shared library albums and movies are displayed with incorrect cover art. In addition, the watched / unwatched status (the blue dot) for movies is wrong.
    When playing music tracks, no ratings are displayed on the iPhone.
    Has anyone else seen this behaviour and do you know of a fix?

    I am also having this issue, please fix this Apple, it all worked so well before the iOS5 update.
    Ive tried fresh installs and restores yet home share video artwork is all messed up, and it seems completely random every time.The artwork shows fine when files are loaded locally onto my iPod touch 4G its only in Home Share that its wrong all the time and so annoying.

  • Missing cover art from iTunes on iPhone

    Some of the albums on my iPhone (bought via iTunes) are missing their cover art. On my iMac all the albums in iTunes have their cover art. When I sync the iPhone on my iMac, the cover art doesn't update on the iPhone! The iPhone iTunes cover art used to be there, some of them were even bought from iTunes while on the iPhone.
    Can anyone please please let me know how I can update all the cover art for albums on my iPhone?

    I remember reading about something similar on the AT & T forum, http://forums.wireless.att.com/cng/board/message?board.id=apple&message.id=94023 &query.id=478736#M94023

  • Exporting (dragging) Cover Art from iTunes just makes a picture clipping?

    I have dragged cover art JPGs to songs in iTunes. Now I want to drag them back out to the desktop as JPGs. This used to be possible, but now I only get a picture clipping that I can't open with any other program than the Finder. Any ideas? I just want to be able to get certain covers out of iTunes as JPGs.

    A neat trick I discovered is to control+click on the art in the view/show art window. It will then let you copy (and paste) art to an album or song there. You can also do that to and from other applications. For all I know you might be able to drag it to Photoshop.

  • How do i get cover art in Itunes 12.0.01?

    Okey.. so last week, I tried to import some cover art for my band's music and it worked just fine, but i had to delete the music, 'cause it wasn't the master version. So my problem is that when i imported the mastered tracks (Jan 4), they played just fine and everything, and i just wanted to get some updated cover art on the music, but when i drag the image the the mini picture and press "ok", nothing happens!! anybody experienced this yet?q
    Anyhow.. i use a 15" Macbook pro, from 2009. I upgraded to Yosemite, a month ago, and this is the first time I've experienced difficulties with it.

    The new iTunes 12 Get Info dialog lacks right-click context menus (at least for now) but it still accepts most standard keyboard shortcuts and drag & drop actions.
    Delete Artwork
    On the artwork tab of Get Into, tap the image in question, use Backspace or Ctrl+X. Delete doesn't work.
    Or, tap the image at the top left of Get Info, this time use Backspace or Delete, it is Ctrl+X that doesn't work.
    Add Artwork
    Select artwork, press Ctrl+C to copy, tap the centre of the Artwork tab, press Ctrl+V to paste.
    Or, select artwork, press Ctrl+C to copy, tap the small image area at the top left, press Ctrl+V to paste.
    Or, you can drag & drop to, or sometimes from, the same locations.
    You can also copy artwork from the Get Info dialog to Windows Explorer with the keyboard shortcuts.
    If the source image is on a web page right-click and use Copy Image rather than copy. (With Chrome I get a one pixel wraparound so tend to go for a temporary local copy anyway - not sure whose bug this is, but it isn't new.)
    If you have multiple images embedded drag the one you want to be the primary artwork to the leftmost position.
    Replace/Remove All Artwork
    The top left image box can be used to add or delete art from multiple tracks. In either case all existing artwork in all tracks is replaced/removed.
    Old Style Get Info Dialog
    Select some items, right-click, hold down shift, then click Get Info from the context menu. (Use alt/option on a Mac)

  • Ipod nano 4g - wrong cover art appearing

    I manually transfer music and youtube videos to my ipod nano 4g from Windows XP (home) and Windows 7 (office) computers. I have iTunes handle podcasts that I follow (about a dozen). Both machines are kept current with OS updates and iTunes updates.
    Lately, however, it seems something about the ipod memory has been corrupted, because most of the "cover art" on the podcasts have become fouled up. For example, 7 or 8 different podcasts now show a still frame from an entirely different podcast as their cover art.
    This has extended itself to a number of music files also ... enough that it's bothersome... Do I just need to reformat the lot and recopy them over? I'm curious how it happened, but I'd also like to know how to correct it... and most importantly, how to keep it from occurring again in the future.
    Thank you for any help you can offer!
    James

    This problem has happened to me. This is usually caused by two albums having the same description like "Greatest Hits". Right mouse click on a song you know has a bad art cover and look at the Get Info tab. Right mouse click on a song that is on the art cover causing the problem and also look at the Get Info tab. Compare the two. If the album description or any of those fields are the same you need to make them unique. Make sure you change all the songs on the album the same way. Next time you synch your album art will properly be displayed.

  • Wrong Cover Art For Complete Led Zeppelin...

    This is frustrating. I just purchased the complete Led Zeppelin from Itunes and it gives me the Led Zeppelin I cover art instead of the Black Zoso Cover.... How can I get this cover...?

    You can always search for it yourself on Amazon, Google images, etc. Download a version you like and then manually add the artwork yourself.
