Zen Not Displaying ANY Album Art via

Hello, I love my 8gb Zen and always use WMP to sync songs. Everything was fine untill a few weeks ago. I formatted my player via WMP then tried adding songs to it and none of them had album art after that WHY? So frustarting. I'v tried many times and still no art. When I use the Zen sync (offical creative software) it gives art but many mistakes and repeat album arts. Not good. I don't want to add individual album art via a program since it would take forever.
any help is greatly apprciated ?

This also happened to me. Though I did a sync over the weekend, to remove a few albums and add a couple of new ones, and some of the old albums were updated and they have album art but not all. I'm guessing it's something to do with WMP but I'm not sure, as long as the music plays fine I can li've without album art.

Front Row not displaying all Album Art

Hi, I recently bought a Macbook Pro and imported all the music I had to it. I started downloading all the album arts for all my albums, and finally placed them all in order. They look perfect in iTunes in Coverflow.
Then, when I started Front Row, I noticed that not all of my songs displayed an Album Art, only some of them. Does anyone know how to solve this problem?

Displaying ipod album art in itunes

I have a question about the iPod's display of album art in iTunes when it is plugged into my computer. I had been getting really frustrated for the better part of the evening after adding a bunch of album art to my music, updating it on the iPod (I do manual update so I dragged the songs onto the iPod after adding the art), and then clicking on them in the iPod's library in iTunes only to see that there was no album art there. What gives?
However, I realized that I was getting annoyed for no reason when I checked it out in the iPod itself, after I disconnected it. All of the album art is there.
So here is the strange behavior I have observed this evening: if I had to go out on the internet and find cover art myself, and add it manually to the files in iTunes, it displays in the iPod's library in iTunes. If iTunes helpfully went out and found the cover art for me automatically, it does NOT display in the iPod library in iTunes (although it is actually there when you go to play the music on the disconnected iPod). I went through the iPod's library in iTunes and this is consistently what is happening.
Obviously this isn't a life-or-death kind of situation, but I was wondering if anyone else has noticed this behavior or knows why this happening. For what it's worth, my entire iTunes library is on an external hard drive, and all of my music is on there in the same place. Do you think iTunes is storing the art in separate places depending on whether I added it or it found it on its own? Would this even matter? I am very curious about this. Thanks for any insight anyone has for me.
5g iPod (video) 80 GB Mac OS X (10.4.8) iTunes 7

when i play the music on the iPod the albums show up
no problem... but when the iPod is connected to
iTunes, and i'm browsing my ipod via itunes, only
some album art shows up...
IE: beck guero, has album art in the itunes library,
it also has the art on the ipod if i play it with the
ipod disconnected from my mac. it DOES NOT show album
art when connected to itunes and view the ipod within
itunes...
whats the deal? some albums are just fine, but the
vast majority of them dont display the art while in
itunes... again, if i disconnect the ipod and view
them on the ipod, there is no problem all albums
display.
any help is appreciated.
Just so you know, you're not going crazy and you're not the only one that's seeing this. I'm seeing the same behavior with a 30GB 5G iPod and iTunes7 under Windows XP.

Zen not showing correct album when correct one is on mp3 f

I have come to notice that if you have two artists with the same exact album name, all those files will show the album art from the first atrist that comes alpahbetically. So if I have Artist A with album name Album and Artist B which also has the album name Album, when playing a song from Artists B from Album, it will display the album art from the Artist A Album. I hope I made that clear enough. Creative has to change the way the Zen handels album art because this is just not acceptable. I worked very hard to makre sure all my songs have the right album are and the right mp3 tags and then I go and am not able to appriciate my hard work. Does this happen to anyone else?

I cannot tell by your post. Did you embed each cover in the ID3 tag?

IPad doesn't display correct album art

I could really use some help here, I am at the end of my rope. I have HomeSharing on so that my iPads and iPhones will play music and movies from our iTunes library. I have an iPhone 5, an iPhone 4S, an iPad 4 and (2) iPad 2 models. Both iPhones and the iPad 4 will display the correct album art in the movies but the iPad 2's scramble up the album art. For instance on the iPad 4 shows the Aladdin album art where it says Aladdin is but on the iPad 2 (both of them) it will display random album art. So you'll be looking at a picture of Bug's Life but the line states that the movie is Aladdin. Now when you select that movie and it enters the info page where the play button is, the album art comes up correctly. It's just in the title screen or selection screen this happens. Then to add to that, the music and music videos all displays fine, the correct album art every time. For some reason, this is only happening in the movies. And again, only happening on the iPad 2's. There is no issue with the newer iPad or the iPhones. So is this a setting that is goofed? A software issue that I can't resolve? I would appreciate any input you can provide, especially if you can help me fix this!!
FYI, the iPad 2's are my daughter's so I have the PG restriction on making sure that they can't watch anything PG-13 or over. Although it won't display a PG-13 or over movie, it will display the album art (for instance it will show Hills Have Eyes instead of Aladdin although the text shows Aladdin and again, if you click on it the correct album art shows Aladdin in the info screen). I thought maybe the restrictions were the problem so I shut them off but that didn't resolve the issue.

Me Too. Glad to hear I'm not alone in this...
I can't explain it. All my songs show the correct art in iTunes but it's often mismatched on the Nano. I've noticed that selecting a problem track in iTunes, get info and clicking "ok" on the already correct art, sometimes corrects the issue (for that one track) on the Nano after the next sync.. but not always.
p.s. Other posts say "restore" is the answer. I'll try that tonight.

Albumart.py - displays mpd album art

I love ncmpcpp but, sadly, it does not display all the beautiful album art I've collected. So I wrote this little Python script (75 lines) that does just that.
Here's a demo: http://a.pomf.se/wlozbq.mp4
It monitors mpd and searches for an image in the directory of the currently playing file, but you have to tell it mpd's music directory (MUSICDIR). You set PATTERN as how your album art is named, in globbing format. In my case that's Folder.* for Folder.jpg or Folder.png
It also needs a default image (DEFAULTIMG) in case it doesn't find any album art.
It then displays that image and scales it to the window size. The image proportions are kept, so it might fill some space with a background color that you can set (BGCOLOR).
Close the window to quit.
It requires python-mpd2 from the AUR, python-pillow and tk. I'm not an enterprise programmer so forgive me if the code is shitty. In any case, it's simple and light.
#!/usr/bin/env python

Since that simple script of r6 was so helpful for me, I thought it only fair for me to provide my tweak to it.
Mods:
* Fetched from albumart.org
* Uses directory path for search information
* downloads larger image instead of thumbnail
* works with find -exec {} to auto populate all directories
Here is a link to my simple write up
I just run the following in the root of my music directory
find . -type d -exec ./get_coverart {} \;
And a copy of the script
#!/bin/bash -e
# get_coverart.sh
# This simple script will fetch the cover art for the album information provided on the command line.
# It will then download that cover image, and place it into the child directory.
# The term "album information" is really the relative path of the final directory.
# get_coverart <relative-path>
# get_coverart Tonic/Lemon Parade
# get_coverart Tonic/Lemon\ Parade
# get_coverart Tonic/Lemon_Parade
# To auto-populate all directories in the current directory, run the following command
# find . -type d -exec ./get_coverart "{}" \;
dpath="$1"
encoded="$(perl -MURI::Escape -e 'print uri_escape($ARGV[0]);' "$dpath")"
# Skip already processed ones
if [ -f "$dpath/cover.jpg" ]
then
echo "$dpath/cover.jpg already exists"
exit
fi
echo ""
echo "Searching for: [$1]"
url="http://www.albumart.org/index.php?srchkey=$encoded&itempage=1&newsearch=1&searchindex=Music"
echo "Searching ... [$url]"
coverurl=`wget -qO - $url | xmllint --html --xpath 'string(//a[@title="View larger image" and starts-with(@href, "http://ecx.images-amazon")]/@href)' - 2>/dev/null`
echo "Cover URL: [$coverurl]"
wget "$coverurl" -O "$dpath/cover.jpg"

Problems displaying SOME album art for Home Movies in iTunes 11.1.4

I have a number of home videos in my iTunes 11.1.4 library on my Mac. I have manually added album art to each video, but only about half the movies actually show the album art when viewing the movies from the Home Videos tab in iTunes. The other half of the movies just show a frame of the movie. I double checked Get Info for the movies that aren't displayed the album art and confirmed that the album art is listed. All the album art I uploaded is of the same size and file type. Not sure why half the art displays and half doesn't. Anyone else see this before? I'm puzzled.
Thanks

I don't know if you got your answer this this post is from about 3 months ago. I've also been having the same issue.
On my end, I've been keeping all of my movie files on an external drive and just as your situation, only some of them appear and some of them are missing. I don't know if it's as a result of having them on an external drive and anytime I launch iTunes, it's not always plugged in. I'd have to do a bit more testing on that.
I did notice that as soon as I select the "Get Info" on a movie file with missing artwork and confirm that it's there in the metadata by just clicking "ok", it appears automatically in the iTunes window. Seems like a quick and easy solution for now, but not so if you have 300+ movies and you have to do the step for every other one.
If you figured out a solution for this or what worked for you, I'd be glad to hear it.

Finding all photos not in any album

Hello,
I am a user of PE10.
I imported about 7000 photographs and am organizing them into albums. To ensure I assign all photos to at least one album I would like to display all unassigned photos, i.e. photos not in any album yet, so that I can assign the to albums.
Right now I have to click "Show All" and scroll through 7000 pictures to find ones I have not assigned yet :-( very tedious.
Is there anyway to show only unassigned pgotographs?
TIA,
Herman

In thumbnail view click Show All or launch the Organizer from scratch.
Then click the Find menu and choose the criteria you need.

Vid iPod displays incorrect album art

My video iPod has started to display incorrect album art when playing back songs. The songs and their corresponding album art play back fine in iTunes on my computer. But when playing back on the iPod, it displays the wrong album covers. Any ideas on how to fix this?

Same problem. I am still lokking for a fix for my 5G pod.

Aperture 3 project does not display any images in one Project

This is a strange situation. The bullets below outline the situation:
The project does not display any images
When I place the pointer over the project it shows there are 500+ images
I have located the RAW images stored in my aperture library
I can pull up the images using a smart folder and searching for photos taken on the event day
This is happening only to one of my projects that I know of (weird!!)
I have tried to 're-add' the image by both importing and dragging and dropping into the project, neither works
I tried the following basics:
Fixed permissions
Rebuilt the database
Tried to re-import the data, but when I have the 'don't import duplicates' these are not an option
Found the images in my Aperture library
I created another project and drug all of the images into that project
Any idea how I can fix this?
My fear is that if I delete the original project, the original master images will be deleted.

The most common cause of this is some sort of stuff in the search box at the top of the browser that you don't expect to be there. Just clear it and all your images should show up.
RB
One note - if you drug your images from one project to another it moves them vs copies them unless you hold down the option key.

Product Revenue Bookings and Backlog Dashboard does not display any data

Product Revenue Bookings and Backlog Dashboard does not display any data even though the load completed successfully.
They are able to see just the parameters.
Not sure if the upgrade of the database from 9.2.0.6 to 10.2.0.3 is a factor.
What can I check?
Is there some table to verify that the data exists for display in the Product Revenue Bookings and Backlog Dashboard?
Screenshot is at:
https://gtcr.oracle.com/gtcr-dir/gtcr_5637/6415786.993/Product_Revenue_Bookings_Backlog_Dashboard.doc
Support suggested to create a new request set and run the initial load with load all summaries option; but there was no change in the Product Revenue Bookings and Backlog Dashboard.
Any ideas?

hi
We have faced the similar problem after the upgrade to 10G
What we did was
Ran the initial load of time dimension, Item setup request set, and the request set of all the dash board in the clear and initial load mode..
we were able to get the data once the clear and load is completed successfully

MAX will not display any installed modules mounted to cRIO-9074 chassis WinXP SP3 LV2010 developer

MAX will not display any installed modules mounted to cRIO-9074 chassis WinXP SP3 LV2010 Developer Suite.
I can see the backplane in MAX and Project explorer but none of the modules show up for configuration in the drop down lists. The LV was just installed on the PC with RT/FPGA/Sound and Vibration. I have Admin and am accessing through a PCMCIA Ethernet card. I have to disable normal wireless Ethernet just to see the cRIO unit at all.

Well, you actually won't be able to see the C-series modules for a cRIO in MAX. Take a look at this KnowledgeBase article for a little more information.
As far as not being able to see them in the Project explorer, are you trying to run in FPGA or Scan Interface? If you're using the FPGA Interface, you'll have to make sure to expand the FPGA Target tree in the Project explorer to see these modules.
