Can't import artwork on an album

I just got a Mac Mini and am now running iTunes 9.02.
On one dual album, I can't import the artwork.
I've tried several different ways: dragging to Get Info on highlighted tunes from different sources, Get Artwork, and downloading the album cover to the desktop as a jpeg, and tried Adding it to Get Info Album art.
This isn't a Snow Leopard thing, since it happened on my G5 Mac. At one point, I did have the artwork, and then it disappeared again.
Any ideas on a fix?
Thanks

try this:
select all files of the album in iTunes, right-click (or ctrl-click) on the selection and +get info+. the artwork window will be empty. put a tick in the box next to the artwork box and hit okay.
+get info+ again and click into he artwork window once, copy the image in Safari or Preview, return to iTunes and paste (cmd-V) the image. it should now show up in the artwork window. hit okay.
any help ?

Allan,
If you get your album artwork from the iTunes Store, it is stored in the folder iTunes/Artwork in an encrypted ".itc2" file. There may be tools out there to extract it, but it is generally much easier to get the art via a web search in JPG format to use in projects.

Can I import my own custom album art for my own music in iTunes?

Is the album artwork feature just for downloads from the iTunes store? Or can I import my own cover art as a JPEG, say, for music that I have created? Thanks, Scott

Thanks, Chris. Good suggestion. But the problem hasn't gone away. Here's what I did:
I ran Repair Permissions but it did not solve the problem. Then I ran verify disk and it checked out OK. Then I ran verify disk permissions and got these 3 i-Tunes related items in the results:
Permissions differ on "Applications/iTunes.app/Contents/CodeResources", should be -rw-rw-r-- , they are lrw-rw-r-- .
Permissions differ on "Applications/iTunes.app/Contents/Frameworks/iPodUpdater.framework/Versions/A/C odeResources", should be -rw-rw-r-- , they are lrw-rw-r-- .
Permissions differ on "Applications/iTunes.app/Contents/Resources/iTunesHelper.app/Contents/CodeResou rces", should be -rw-rw-r-- , they are lrw-rw-r-- .
Then I ran repair disk permissions a second time, and the same 3 i-Tunes-related "permissions differ" items showed up in the results. Problem still not solved.
I dug down to these 3 files. Only the iTunesHelper/Contents/CodeResources had a permissions setting available. It was set to rw-rw-r. I don't know what lwr might be or what to do about it if anything.
Bottom line, I still can't drag my JPEG into the iTunes artwork box. Now it doesn't even flash.
Thanks,
Scott

Can´t import artwork in itunes7

I had not been able to create an itunes account, because I do not live in the countries where the store is currently open. Therefore, when I import music from CDs it does not import automatically artwork (one of the most desired features). What can I do?
Sony Vaio Windows XP Pro

Sorted it - can't change artwork manually on WAV files - means I have to import in apple lossless. Is this just to tie me down in apple's backyard? Oh well, windows play the same games. Spondulicks rule.

Can't import artwork manually in vista

Trying to import artwork manually - in browser, items selected, get info window - I can paste, drag and drop or add jpeg artwork (right size) into artwork box but it doesn't show up in main window and when I return to get info it has disappeared completely. Updated to latest iTunes which is an improvement - before the arwork pasted itself to the top left corner of the get info window before disappearing - but still no good to me. This is a headache as I have a very large collection to rip only about half of which has artwork that can be found automatically(so far). Beginning to believe the warning about iTunes Windows Media Player is starting to look far less cumbersome. Please redeem yourselves iTunes users cos I love the interface!

Can't import artwork from iTunes

After loading my two music CDs onto my music library, I cannot import the artwork from iTunes stores

To have iTunes automatically download album artwork when you import a CD or add songs with missing artwork, choose iTunes > Preferences, click Store, and select “Automatically download missing album artwork.”
If you've done that, and you still can't get the artwork, the CD may not be available at the iTunes store. You can use Amazon.com to get artwork. Look up the CD at Amazon, click the artwork to display large size and drag it to your desktop. Then you can add it to your iTunes library.
To add artwork to one item, select an item in your iTunes library and drag the art file to the artwork viewer.
To add artwork to multiple items, select an item, choose File > Get Info, and click Artwork. To add art to the selected item, click Add (or drag the art file from your desktop to the artwork viewer). Click Next to add artwork to the next item.
To add the same artwork to multiple items, hold down the Command key as you click each item, choose File > Get Info, click Artwork, and drag the art file to the artwork viewer.
To add more than one piece of art to a song, drag more than one image to the same artwork box.

HT201302 how can I import all the photo albums to my PC

Only the camera roll album imports, muliple albums can not be imported.
Please help

You're welcome, and you can't. Only photos captured or saved by the iPhone are in the Camera Roll. You can transfer photos from your computer to the Camera Roll nor transfer photos in the Photo Library or in albums on the iPhone that were transferred from your computer to the Camera Roll.
Photos transferred from your computer are optimized for viewing on the iPhone as part of the iTunes sync/transfer process - the original resolution of these photos is reduced on the iPhone. This is why transferring these photos in the opposite direction is not supported. These photos should be included with your computer's backup along with all other important data.
There are some 3rd party paid utilities that provide for transferring this data in the opposite direction, but the original resolution of these photos will be lost in the process.
A Google or internet search is your friend.

Can I merge or combine 2 "album artwork" folders? I have saved music onto an external server from 2 computers but the artwork that I have manually imported remains in the default folder in the music/itunes/album artwork folder on the respective PCs. Thx

Can I merge or combine 2 "album artwork" folders? I have saved music onto an external server from 2 computers but the artwork that I have manually imported remains in the default folder in the music/itunes/"album artwork" folder on their respective PCs.
i.e. artwork uploaded on one PC won't apppear on the other PC because it is saved locally...
I'm confident that i won't beable to just merge the 2 because thy'll have the same folder names.
On the same note: can I have iTunes create these files on the external server/Hard drive also so that either computer can use them at the same time?
(like I have my library- can the other files be saved remotely)
Thx

i'm using iTunes 10 BTW

Can't add artwork to album

I have imported many cd's recently and since installing the latest Leopard update I have had a strange issue appear in iTunes relative to artwork.
Some albums did not find artwork to download (par for the course), so I went out to Google images or Amazon and downloaded the image, or I scanned it (as a jpg).
The problem is that I cannot add the artwork to the songs. I am not a novice iTunes user and I have over 50,000 songs in my collection and this is the first time I've had this issue. I have tried the following methods to no avail:
1. Select all the songs in the album, Get Info and drag jpg image to the little artwork box or double click the box and find the file on my hard drive.
2. Select a single song, Get Info, click on artwork tab and drag jpg image to the little artwork box or double click the box and find the file on my hard drive.
3. Repeat steps 1 and 2 with a single track. All 4 of these actually show the artwork, but when I click Ok to save it, it never shows up in Cover Flow or the Now Playing box. When I go back into Get Info, it's gone.
4. Select a playing track and drag the jpg file to the Now Playing "Drag Album Artwork Here" display box.
5. Select a playing track, copy the jpg file from a Finder window, right click in the Now Playing "Drag Album Artwork Here" and select paste (this actually does add a blank white box which I can then select and delete in the Get Info window for a single track).
All of these methods have worked for me in the past (right up until about 11/21), and now not a single method will work. Nov. 28th is the first time I tried this that it did not work. I updated Leopard to 10.5.1 right around that time. I am running iTunes 7.5 (last updated 11/8/7). My iTunes library is on an external disk (has been for two years), but again, this problem just started occurring last week. I ran a verify and it came up clean.
I could not find a single thread that described this problem (usually people just didn't know how to do it). Has anyone else experienced this?
Thanks in advance for the help.

Hallo, I fear this will not help you, but I have the same problem: Can add artwork to music but not to videos. Maybe a problem with metadata:
I import videos from a tv-recording-program (eyeTV). It works perfectly. When it finishes recording I export the film to iTunes 7.6. When it gets there it is stored under "TV Shows" and has a strange name (f.e.: "Mice hunt, slapstick comedy 1997").
So I got to the Get Info and correct the name, classify it as comedy and set it to "Movies". Clicking OK it is correctly renamed, classified and displayed under "Movies".
Then I go again to "Get Info" and want to add an artwork. I can import the artwork and it is displayed in the Cover-window of "Get info". But when I now click OK the new artwork isn´t displayed and all my information that I changed are restored: The Movie is again "Mice hunt, slapstick comedy 1997".
I have the feeling that it has something to do with the changing of Metadata for videos and with iTunes version 7.6 (in 7.5 everything worked well). So I fear, I´ll have to wait for a bug update.

Could not get artwork for some albums. I am not getting any artwork for Cd's imported into Itunes. almost 400 albums and not one album artwork. what to do?

cannot get artwork for some albums is the feedback I am trying to get when trying to get album artwork for Cd's imported into my itunes. almost 400 Cd's computer is seen processing the infor however not one album artworkcan be seen what to do?

Hello, Welcome to Apple Discussions.
Are your songs from Audio CDs or iTunes Store? If not you may need to manually find the album artwork for them as these songs may not be listed in the iTunes Store database for your region.
iTunes: Album art may not download properly
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1815
iTunes will only download album artwork for songs that it can find in the iTunes Store. iTunes will check each song in your iTunes library and attempt to match it up with a song in the iTunes Store. If the data matches, iTunes will download the album artwork from the iTunes Store and add it to the song in your iTunes library. If iTunes does not find a particular song's artwork in the iTunes Store, you will not see an alert message. iTunes simply does not download artwork for that song.

Is it possible to import artwork from elsewhere on my computer for albums that don't have any downloadable artwork? ie: Add your own picture or artwork.

Is it possible to import artwork from elsewhere on my computer for albums that have no downloadable album artwork? ie. put one of my own photos or artwork on the blank cover?

Yes you can. How to: Right click on that song, click on get info, click on Artwork. From there, you can upload any album artwork. Its all up to you.

How can I view Artwork on iTunes for 1 or 3 songs per Album?

So, I am on my iTunes. On the previous Version of iTunes, you can have the list of Albums and view at the same time the Artwork whether it was for 10, 20 songs or even just 1 song. With the new version, there are four icons on the Upper Right where you can view "Cover Flow", "Album Covers", "Detailed List", "Detail List with Album Artwork"...
When I click on the "Detail List with Album Artwork" and I want to view the Artwork for those albums that I only have 1, 3, or just 5 songs, I cannot view the Artwork. I can only view the Artwork (if for example) those with more then 10 songs.
How can I view the Artwork at the same time as with those that I am able to?

I can only view the Artwork (if for example) those with more then 10 songs.
iTunes menu View > Aways show artwork.
iTunes defaults to show artwork for albums with 5 or more songs.

How can I import songs which are filed basis one album/compilation as one folder?

How can I import songs which are filed basis one album/compilation as one folder?
i can drag and drop one folder which is a proper album into itunes under playlist. if i drag and drop two proper albums into itunes it is also ok but if itunes does not know my own compliations and i drag and rop my 3000 folders in one shot into itunes i get only one playlist containing all songs.
pleased to hear if anybody know how i can avoid to do 3000 times drag and drop a folder into itunes.
rgds, alexander

Before you begin the import, edit the properties of the tracks to set the Album Artist to Various Artists and Part of a Compilation to Yes.
For more info. see Grouping tracks into albums.

Imported CD songs are each put into a separate album. How can I group them in one album?

How can I import into iPhoto, from my iPad, albums created on the iPad using Photos App ?

I take about 300 photos a day using my iPad, as i'm filming to help keep continuity.
I then create albums under the scene number from some of the photos taken. Eventually i will build up all of the scene numbers in the script.
I want to import into iPhoto all of these albums.
How can this be done?
For some reason, when i plug my iPad into the laptop, it won't import screen grabs or all of the photos.
So the fact i have tried to be super organised, the apple software is now letting me down !
Can albums created in the iPad now be imported into iPhoto as albums to keep my organisation ?
Thanks.

That is not a feature of iPhoto - suggest to Apple - iPhoto Menu ==> provide iPhoto feedback.
With the new Photo app later this year the integration between IOS and the Mac will be much greater
