Can't add Album Art on Covert Window

Hi.
When I select various items of an album and in the covert art window try to add a covert to all them together ( with "Item selected" active on the window ) it doesn't allow me to add the picture. If I do it to an active track, it works. If I do it selecting "Show Information" in the pop up menu, it works, but the problem is that I can't add a secondary covert art this way. I was able to do this in all iTune's previous versions, but not now. Is this a bug? I have been checking all my preferences, even enabling and disabling them but nothing works.
Hugs

Yeah that's probably a bug - I used to always select all songs in an album and then drag/drog a pic from the finder to the artwork window without a problem - Until I upgraded to latest iTunes 7 - now it doesn't work...
Hopefully this will be fixed in the next revision...
Rgds,

  • I can't add album art

    When I try to add album art to, well my album, the image I choose is not sticking. My album is also in a playlist.
    Here is what I am doing.
    Select all (every song in the playlist is from the same album I would like to add album art to.)
    Click 'Get Info'
    Drag a picture from my desktop to the little artwork box in the bottom right hand corner and click the little check box next to it.
    Click 'ok'.
    Wait a few seconds.  Nothing happens.
    Now the problem is, after I go through those steps the image does not transfer over to the songs. Individually or for the whole album.
    I thought it would be a computer issue or one of those weird things where the album art shows on my iPad but not my computer so I tried sycing my iPad up and still nothing.
    A couple of things as well:
    I did click ADVANCED > GET ALBUM ARTWORK, it does not work. 
    I did not buy the album from iTunes, I bought it as a digital download from a different site.
    I converted all the songs to AAC, I ust thought it would help.
    There is no option to add album artwork to individual songs.  On an individual song, I click "get info" but there is no option to add art work to individual songs.
    As of 7/24/12, I have the most recent version of iTunes. 
    Please help, this can't be this complicated.

  • Can't add album art to some tracks

    Using iTunes 7.4.2 (4)
    I have some MP3 files that don't have album art. For some of the albums, I've been able to use iTunes to download the art. For others, I've had to manually copy/paste the art in the Artwork field under the Get Info menu item. But, there are some MP3s that I have that don't have album art and iTunes can't find them. I can go under Get Info and paste some art into the Artwork field (I see it in the field) but when I click OK, it doesn't save. I go back into the Get Info and there's nothing there.
    How can I get album art for these tracks?
    Also, I have a few tracks that have the Artwork tab under Get Info completely grayed out and I can't select it. How can I activate that feature for these tracks?
    Thanks!

    I am not sure how much use this will be, but for what its worth here is the way I add artwork. I don't drag and drop. I mainly use a widget Amazon Art, this alows you to access the Amazon websight and find the appropriate album cover then add it to the iTunes library, one of the operating options is selscted tracks, which involves you highlighting the album before you click on set as album artwork, which I find more relyable than currently playing track or album.
    Slightly more reliable than the widget is to find art work and then copy it (If you use Amazon, its always worth clicking on show larger image of the album). Then select the entire album, in itunes and then use Command (Ctrl on a PC I suspect) and i. This allows you to paste in album art work for the entire album. It has never failed me in the past. One word of warning, be a little careful in editing double albums or various artist albums as it is easy to combine the two albums or make an entire album by a single artist.
    Hope you find his of some help

  • Can't add album art

    Have added a few new albums to my itunes library on pc. However no album art appeared. This is generally not a problem as i go to amazon copy the artwork and add it to the album through "get info" from right click. However now i try this and it adds a black screen for artwork not the image i copied. Tried the "get album artwork" but no luck either. Has anyone else had the same trouble or have any advice for me. Seems to have occurred since recent update.

    I had trouble adding artwork to some items, also. All my original items were in aif form, but I just wasn't able to add artwork to some of them, no matter what I did. Drag and drop wouldn't work, copy and paste wouldn't work, and neither would "add" and "choose file". I finally tried dragging each item out of iTunes onto my desktop and converting it to another form (wav, au, even mov), then reconverting it to aif, and dragging it back into iTunes. Once I had the items back in iTunes, I added the artwork and deleted the originals.  I have a Mac Book running Snow Leopard and I used my Quick Time 7 Pro for the conversions (select the item, choose file and open with Quick Time 7, then choose file and export). Converting to wav and then back to aif usually worked, but sometimes I had to try several different forms before I found one that worked.

  • How can I add/change art work to albums where the art work isn't available at iTunes?

    How can I add/change art work to albums where the art work isn't available at iTunes?

    Go to google and search for the artwork.  When you find it, save it to your computer.  Right click the album and select get info.  Drag the image you saved to the empty box for album art.

  • I can no longer add album art work in iTunes version 10.6.0.40

    WHY can I no longer add album art work in iTunes version 10.6.0.40? It is maddening. I have checked many boards and discussion groups but no one has a sure fix. Why is Apple not tending to this problem? They of all groups should know the importance of how something looks.

    I had the the same problem albeit with an m4v (same hardware and OS rev too!, iTunes 10.6.3). I was able to add the movie to a new library per Limnos' suggestion here, indicating that iTunes wasn't totally busted. However, I was also able to see the movie in the Recently Added smart playlist (another hat tip to Limnos), although it still did not appear in the Movies section of my iTunes library. (It was also in the iTunes Library.xml file.)
    So I called AppleCare, and they directed me to move the file from the external drive where it was living, into the /Users/<Your Name Here>/Movies directory, and to "Add to Library" (Command-O) from that location. Sure enough (and much to my surprise), it showed up immediately (duplicated, actually) in the Movies section of my iTunes library. Subsequent additions to my Library have not misbehaved similiarly.

  • Oh, Is it? i can't never add album art in my mp3 files without------

    Okay let's see i write again cuz my title was abscence some
    of words though, ur, my problem? duh~! , this creature

    cannot able to add any album title which things by
    ITUNES Store and Even my computer storage, i've been
    so many times tried put the other album of mp3 files.
    It werent worked. Well, the purpose of preventing copying
    from illegal sound files is till good. BUT The matter isnt
    this. SO What should we have to do ,what if we creat
    album art ourselves? then what? IT isnt illegal ,dont I?
    We have right to free of adding a album art by ourselves
    AM I RIGHT?
    Im rewrriting my point below if my words are lame i guess.
    -O Is it? I can't never add Album Art in my IPOD(fifth Ed.)
    without registered in Itunes store?
    If it isnt so, Tell me more specific techical solution!
    I've been also stick around all the threads, hard to find
    the correct answer what im struggling with....
    Or Plz bring a new edition of 'Itunes' program to us as
    light as possible.
    Im stupid with still enjoying myself on IPOD even
    the problem exists in my ahead
    I blaming this because uncool things but loveya much!

  • How do you add album art in iTunes 12? everything I've tried doesn't work

    how do you add album art in iTunes 12?

    Two methods:
    Right-click on the album, select Get Album Artwork.  iTunes will determine whether this album is available from the iTunes Store and, if so, download the artwork image from the Store and associate it with the media files.
    Right-click on the album, select Get Info and then the Artwork tab,  Then:
    click the Add Artwork button, navigate to and select an image file on your computer, or
    drag and drop an image file from your computer to the Artwork tab, or
    copy an image to the clipboard (for example, from a web page) go to the Artwork tab and press Ctrl-V (there's a bug in iTunes 12.0.1.26 such that right-click > paste does not work here
    For the second method, you can also access the "old style" editor window from iTunes 11 by holding down Shift as you right-click > Get Info.
    Lastly, there are three cases in which you can follow these procedures but artwork is not correctly associated with or embedded in your media files:
    your media are in a format that doesn't accommodate embedded artwork - typically WAV files.  To embed artwork you'll need to convert to another format - Apple Lossless or AIFF if you want to preserve lossless quality, AAC or MP3 otherwise.
    your media files are read only - to fix this, use Windows Explorer to find the folder that contains your files, right-click and select Properties.  On the General tab there's a check box labeled "Read-only" - if this is checked, or is grey (sometimes blue), click the box so that the flag is unchecked and the box is white.  Click OK, and then OK again when the "Apply changes to this folder, subfolders and files" option selected.  Now try adding the artwork again.
    Windows permissions issues are preventing iTunes from updating your media files (there's some anecdotal evidence of a change in this behavior in iTunes 12).  See turingtest2's notes on Repair security permissions for iTunes for Windows for advice on fixing this, then try adding the artwork again.

  • Why cant I add album art in itunes 5?  ANNOYING!!!

    Well... I really cant understand why the heck I cant add album art anymore?

    Ok, ran into the same problem but it is related to 4.9 as well.
    Reading those other posts and trying to figure out why all of sudden I can no longer add artwork, I was getting the message saying that "Album Artwork Not Modifiable" for an song I just added, then I notice other songs and albums were showing the same thing.
    Then I notices an item that I had not notice before when I did a right click or control click, there was an option in the drop down menu that said convert to mp3, which I thought was odd since they were already mp3, for grins I did it and it converted. In the info window it said it was an mp3 encoded with itune 4.9 and guess what it now allowed me to add the artwork.
    The other thing I notice was for all the songs which I added to my library they did not have any of the typical information about the file like sample rate and bit rate, not until I did the convert did that information show up.
    So you will have to go through each song and do a convert to mp3 in your current version of itunes to get the artwork to show up which totally s#@ks....

  • How can I get album art to be shown in the left corner when it's already shown in the main area of iTunes?

    My entire music collection was recently deleted on accident. It was my fault (and partially my external harddrive's ridiculously touchy USB cord's fault), but anyways I was able to use an undelete software to get the files back. Some are gone, some are somehow warped into each other, e.g., a folk song, audio-wise, is now replaced with half of a death metal song. I'm trying to fix all that up right now, but my problem is that I can only see album art in the main part of iTunes, right next to the song titles displayed. iTunes refuses to display the art in the bottom left-hand corner, where I think it usually shows what the cursor is locked on at a given time. I'm sorry for not elaborating a sentence or two back, I've also lost about half of my album art in iTunes, so that's why I'm adding it back.
    The weird thing is, album art that was retained after the deletion fiasco does show up in both areas. It's just album art that I add right now that doesn't work. And it can't just be because the files are corrupted or something, because they are editable and play fine, and the same thing happened with a file I just redownloaded and then imported. That file should be perfectly OK.
    Can anyone tell me if there's a reason for album art to not display in the bottom left-hand corner of iTunes while I have certain files selected?
    Thanks
    p.s. one more thing, it's not like the Currently Selected box in that corner is hidden, it's in plain view which is why the blank space is so bothersome.

    I am having a similar problem - my iPod Touch (2nd gen., 32GB, iOS 4.1) was recognized by iTunes on my 24" iMac (Intel, Late 2006) after I had updated it about 1-2 weeks ago (Software Update) to 10.2.2 (the iMac has OS X 10.5.8 on it). I had to take my iMac to a local WiFi spot to do the updating, because I don't have Internet at home currently (can't find anyone who provides just affordable DSL if you don't have your landline via AT&T).
    Today I went to sync my iPod Touch with the iMac (I had updated some apps and bought one new one using the iPT through local WiFi spot). However, iTunes did not see ANY devices at all(!). I tried connecting the iPod Touch first, restarting iTunes and then re-connecting the iPT - nothing helps. The iPod screen turns on just like when charging, but no sign of syncing.
    I'm wondering how applicable the article that you listed would be, or is there a comparable article for iPod Touches with 10.5.8? (I'm getting very fed up with what seems to be the standard Apple partyline of "Just buy a new iPod/Mac/get new software....blah, blah, blah" -Apple, what about those of us who consider it wasteful and unnecessary to buy new hardware or software every few years, just to get a helpful and NON-condescending reply from your support people? (/rant off))

  • How do I add album art like I did with previous version of itunes?

    I could easily drag and drop my album art into the window in the lower left album art viewer in the previous version of Itunes. Please bring this back!!!!

    Hi,
    I am having this same problem, but iTunes is messing up my artwork even more.
    I bought some albums from iTunes in the last days. They show with their proper artwork in iTunes 12.0.1.26 on MacOS 10.9.5.
    As as well organized German :-) I am used to change artist and album artist into "Lastname, Firstname" to get the right sorting. Doing this with this iTunes version lets the artwork disappear. Trying to add it manually fails as described in the original message.
    Hoping for a quick bugfix. I won't buy any more music from iTunes as long as changing anything in the properties of the information tab creates this hassle for me.

  • Manual update - how do I add album art to songs that are already in ipod?

    I recently changed to manual update as the auto update started to take a ridiculously long time to even recognize my 60gb.
    I wanted to add album art to an album that was already in my ipod. I updated the songs in itunes, and then dragged them to the ipod when it was listed in itunes.
    Itunes said "updating songs" - and I ended up with two copies of each song.
    I deleted the duplicates from the ipod, but surely there must be an easier way.
    So how does one properly update information on existing songs with manual update?
    60gb video     latest itunes

    The easiest way to do this kind of thing probably would be to either make the alterations (album artwork, lyrics, etc.) on your iPod's songs themselves, not the iTunes library songs. (Click on the little arrow to the left of your iPod's name in the Source List of iTunes, so show/hide. Click on the "Music" library under your iPod to see it's songs displayed in iTunes.)
    When you've gotten in the "Music" library, under your iPod's name in iTunes, you can select the songs here that you want to change, and click on "Get Info".
    Or, you could do this:
    1 - Make the changes to the iTunes Library songs.
    2 - Go to your iPod's Music area in iTunes.
    3 - Delete the current songs off your iPod that will be replaced with the "modified" version of the track (that has additional or altered info on it.)
    4 - Now, go back to the iTunes Library. Select those new changed songs, and drag them to your iPod.

  • I'm trying to add album art to a CD I imported but it will not work. The album art will add to other albums but it won't show on the album. The CD is imported from Japan, didn't think that would be a problem. Does anyone know a solution?

    Vanguard,
    You are welcome.  As I gather you have now figured out, any of the other formats (AAC, MP3, AIFF, or Apple Lossless) can handle artwork just fine.
    Enjoy the music!
