Album Artwork not Appearing After Buying...

Whenever I buy music from the iTunes Store in my Mac, the artworks don't appear... But when I buy them from my iPhone they do... I have tried clicking the "Get Album Artwork" option but nothing happens...


Any idea why?

MacBook Pro 13″, macOS 10.15

Hey Ra1mund0,


Thanks for the update. Since the artwork still will not update album artwork. If you create a new test library and add the songs in, it may show the album artwork.


"Switch to another iTunes library

  1. Hold down the Option key, then open the Music app or Apple TV app.
  2. In the window that appears, click Choose Library.
  3. Select a library, then click Choose.

Hi Ra1mund0,


Thank you for contacting Apple Support Communities. Based on what you stated, it seems like Album Artwork is missing when you buy music. See if the Artwork tab of the Info window shows the artwork. You can try to drag from the window to off of the window and then back into the window to reapply.

Please don't hesitate to let us know if the steps resolved your issue or if you need additional assistance.


Cheers.
