Cover Display Issue

I am having a problem with an Ebook that I created displaying the cover. It displays in Sigil, Calibre, and Itunes. However, it does not display in Adobe Digital Editions nor Ibooks. I would like for my cover image to show on the bookshelf of Ibooks. I cant figure out what I am missing. I have been going at this for a couple days now and cant seem to solve this issue.

I have created a title page to see if I can view the cover there and it has the following code.
Code:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" standalone="no"?>
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.1//EN"
  "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml11/DTD/xhtml11.dtd">

<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
<head>
  <title></title>
</head>

<body>
  <p>
Here is some abbreviated code from my content.opf file
Code:
<meta content="Adobe InDesign" name="generator" />
    <meta content="0.4.2" name="Sigil version" />
    <meta name="cover" content="cover.jpeg" />
  </metadata>
  <manifest>
    <item href="Images/cover.jpeg" id="cover.jpeg" media-type="image/jpeg" />
    <item href="toc.ncx" id="ncx" media-type="application/x-dtbncx+xml" />
More content from content.opf file
Code:
</manifest>
  <spine toc="ncx">
    <itemref idref="tableofcontents" />
    <itemref idref="acknowledgements" />
    <itemref idref="Chapter1.xhtml" />
    <itemref idref="Chapter2.xhtml" />
    <itemref idref="Chapter3.xhtml" />
    <itemref idref="Chapter4.xhtml" />
    <itemref idref="Chapter5.xhtml" />
    <itemref idref="Chapter6.xhtml" />
    <itemref idref="index" />
    <itemref idref="titlepage.xhtml" />
  </spine>
  <guide>
    <reference href="Text/titlepage.xhtml" title="Cover" type="cover" />
  </guide>
</package>
In I books I just get a black book cover and in ADE I just get a white page. Anyone have any idea why this would not be working properly?
