iTunes 12.7.4 Album Artwork Display

if I replace all the missing covers with squares covers this does not help the problem they remain blank after restarting iTunes

it is really an annoying bug this problem with missing covers

report the bug to apple !

go to > https://www.apple.com/feedback/itunesapp.html

where is an update ??? to fix this apple?

Same problem here. It's so disappointing, I love Apple but I got a feeling that software quality is dropping lately. Don't they try the updates before releasing them ?!?!?! As soon as a working version comes out I'll disable automatic updates.

Also for me switching from album display to artist display and back solves the issue.

Hi everybody. I had a fifteen minute discussion with an Apple agent who remotely logged onto my computer and showed her my 1000+ cd iTunes (12.7.5.9) library. Showed off a significant number of the 'blank squares' and explained that the issue is artwork dimensions. There can be no doubt that Apple is fully aware of this bug. Reverting to a 'previous' library is not a solution at all and I will live with the 'blanks' until the bug is fixed. I understand that actual cd's are not 'square' and that one day some marketing genius decided digital artwork should match the actual thing but the 'square' artwork phenomenon seemed to have been standardized. I've 'Google Image' searched thousands of album covers and obviously 'square' seems to be where it's at.

Wanted to assure anyone interested that Apple is aware of this. My discussion with the agent took place on or @ June 20th.

Add me to the list of who is having this problem. ITunes 12.7.4.

I am missing some album artwork in, wait for it, album view. I switch to song view, then back to album view and, things appear to be fixed, until the next time I restart iTunes.

For those that did mention the artwork that is not square, for the most part, that is what I'm seeing.

I just tried creating a new library using a new user. It did not fix the problem. After importing my whole music the same covers were not displayed in album view. Again, fixing to another view and back does fix the problem temporarily.

Having the same problem in iTunes 12.8, with a twist: most of my albums are showing the ♫ icon on a gray background. ⌘I followed by ⏎ usually fixes the problem, but I’m not going to do that for thousands of albums!

OK, here we go: the problem is still there. Not even two hours after my latest reply I started iTunes again (Mojave 101.4.1 and iTunes 12.9.0.164) and the very first cover in the overview of albums was not shown. And again the cover was still in the detailed data and could be retrieved via album information. (And it was still displayed on my server which is used by iTunes for storage.)

So the solution is not there yet!

Same problem. The artwork appears sometimes when I open "information" and close it.

Remind Apple about it at Feedback - iTunes - Apple. Or start replacing your white art with square images. 😕

The issue is still not solved in Itunes 12.8 (I just updated). Also, some of the artwork looks pixelated until you go from music to videos and back again...

Hi, Yes i'm having the same issue. Called apple, senior itunes guy, recorded the problem & sent it to the engineers. was told to look for updates to fix. Never happened.

I've just imported my music 10500 albums again, but this does not help the white cover problem even if you remove the covers and itunes itself has the covers imported there are always a large number of blank cover appear in the library when new startup

itunes lost 75% of my album covers. I "upgraded" to version 12.7.59 with no improvement. I have almost all of the album art imbeded in my music files, but it won't show up in itunes. I don't think itunes looks for album art stored on your computer anymore. I think the only album covers that show, are the few that apple downloads automatically. The proof of this is that some of the album covers are incorrect, even though I have imbeded the correct files in itunes. Two albums that I can think of: Jimi Hendrix Experience ""Are You Experienced" shows the album cover for the Woodstock soundtrack, which I don't even have. John Fogerty Centerfield shows the cover for his Eye of the Zombie album, even though my media folder contains the correct artwork. I am no computer expert, but I think this glitch is by design. They want you to purchase all your music from Apple.

Good point, hardti!

However:

Once again, I just checked some covers of old albums that were not visible today. (Sometimes this changes from day to day.) The "Information" of the albums always shows the cover in the cover tab, but in some cases the cover is not displayed when you go back to any kind of overview. I selected some of the covers and checked the resolution. Unfortunately, at least with iTunes 12.8.0.150 the problem is not the square resolution (I usually use 500 x 500), at least this is not the only problem.
