FetchArt doesn't fetch full-size cover art

Amazon sometimes has several user-submitted cover art images, and apparently FetchArt is grabbing the first available. But this image is not always full size. I'm using FetchArt 1.1.1 (I can't get the updated FetchArt to install - puts a red arrow on all my drives).
I'd like to get the full-size image (manually drag n drop from Amazon is fine), but I can't seem to get rid of the small image FetchArt originally got for me.
I've thrown the original in the Trash, and manually gone to get the image I want, but the original small image keeps popping up as the default for the song/album in question. Even when I just go through the songs and use the arrow at the top of the image window to select the preferred image, things still default back to the small size image.
Anyone know how I get rid of the small image, and get iTunes to default to the larger, preferred image?
Thanks

Output many .eps files to single PDF as full size vector art?

Hi Smart Folks,
I'm working in CS4, Mac OS 10.5. I have a large number of .eps files (about 300, created in Ai) which I'd like to output to a single PDF in their full-size vector format (not thumbnails, which seems to be what Bridge output is set up for). Is there a quicker way to do this than manually placing them all in an InDesign doc and PDFing from there?
Thanks,

(not thumbnails, which seems to be what Bridge output is set up for)
That seems indeed the problem, check also both threads earlier in Bridge and Illustrator but I'm afraid not with THE solution. Also drop a feature request for this at Adobe, the more people that would like to see it the greater chance it will be realized.

Mp3 files in Finder doesn't show all the Cover Art

Recently I buy some new tracks but when I add the cover with ID3 Editor (or iTunes), I can't see the covers of the files in the Finder. Moreover when you copy & paste a MP3 with an available cover, it will disappear. I find it very annoying. I made a clean install for OS X Lion and I don't understand what's happen Maybe a bug ? I didn't had this problem with my Snow Leopard...

I have the fix!!!!
I have had the same issue ever since Lion. Its been very painful not having album art preview in finder or the play button when rollover the file for so many versions of OSX. Today I worked hard in trying to solve the problem since Applecare support hasn't helped much, all they did was tell me to bring the computer in. The other main reason I got so motivated to try and fix this is because the DJ app for Mac only reads album art from the finder even if iTunes can display the album art. The other reason that got me curious is that my friends macbook pro album art worked fine, so I cross checked with his computer until I figured out a few things that helped and ultimately fixed the issue. FINALLY!
My set up:
- I have my full iTunes library folder on my external as I have over 700GB of music.
- It includes all my database files in there, which is very important as I have many playlist settings from over 7 years of iTunes activity.
SOLUTION:
1. With every new computer I have purchased, I use to just pressed option on Mac and press iTunes to locate my folder (which I have said is located on my external drive).
2. I tried today to press option again BUT locate and selected the default library in the user/music folder of my internal drive (standard setting from Apple).
3. Miraculously, all the album art appeared in both my external drive library and also today's downloaded songs on my Macbook pro. Ofcourse with the new default location I don't have any songs or data.
4. So I tried to find a way to keep this library data on my internal drive since it can help the finder display all my files properly, yes even have the play on rollover button but as well link it back to my external drive with all my 700GB songs.
5. I then went into iTunes Preferences/Advance tab and in iTunes Media folder location redirected the location to my external drive iTunes/ iTunes Media folder. If it asks to collate data, press NO.
6. Then I quit iTunes.
7. Next I copied the 4 files to my desktop from my external drive as I want to keep the data I have made with all my playlists etc. The four files are iTunes Library Extras.itdb , iTunes Library Genius.itdb , iTunes Library.itl , iTunes Library.xml
8. I then went to my internal drive User/Music/Itunes/ and dragged these 4 files I copied from my external drive into here and making sure to REPLACE the four existing files already there.
9. Next open iTunes and you will find all your presettings appear with all your music linked to your external. What this does is keep the important library files on your internal drive (that somehow makes your finder files album art appear), BUT to read also all the music mp3 files located in the external drive (action from step 5)
Presto!! All your music files whether on internal drive or external all the album art has appeared.
Hope this helps!! Let me know if there are any other questions.
I am on 10.8.1 running retina macbook pro.

Iphoto 09, the slider for the thumbnail doesn't show full size image

The slider in the lower left that when to the left shows small thumbnails and when to the right, to the "head icon", shows the image enlarged to fill the window, is broken in iPhoto 09. When you slide all the way to the right or click the head icon, the biggest the images magnify to is thumbnails sized to four across and three high thumbnails (displaying 12 big thumbnails rather than one screen filling image). The only way to examine the image now in 09 is to go into edit mode, which still has the row of thumbnails across the top instead of a single large image.
This is really annoying and stupid and makes the program much less useful. Why would they change the program to make it impossible to see the images at full screen unless in edit mode? Any way to put it back to the 08 behavior?

It does seem a bit silly to retain the icon that implies a full sized viewing though.
iPhoto menu -> Provide iPhoto Feedback
If a change is an improvement, I'm all for it. If it is an arbitrary and unnecessary change, it can just be irritating. Like changing the reload button in Safari from the upper left to a variable position somewhere in the upper middle part of the window, a change that improved nothing and probably was a bad idea; changing a constantly located icon to one that roams around depending on the window width.
Absolutely. Not sure what that has to do with iPhoto, though.
I can cope with changes that make things more efficient or improve quality.
Good to know.
I don't quite understand the defense of mindless changes that merely require the user to dig around and waste time figuring out what happened to seemingly missing standard features.
But who’s defending anything?
I don't think that the sheep who copes by blithely accepting being herded onto the slaughterhouse truck is necessarily exercising any signs of higher intelligence.
True. But what do you make of the one who goes ranting off about things based on incorrect information?
This change in the software is inconvenient and makes the program worse.
By way of explanation and not at all to defend: It’s a subtle thing, I know. But it does add a level of coherence to the OS. Quicklook in the Finder, for instance, does a similar thing with the same keystroke. Itunes starts playing a track on the same keystroke. So, I’m not sure where the failed analysis is.

ITunes 10.6. Cover art taking CPU power

Can somebody (who can see cpu percentages) try this:
-open iTunes (10.6.) and use the last option in the right showing cover flow + list of music underneath
-play random
-put iTunes in the miniature mode (green button) and press forward (next piece) for about 10-25 times
-look at the CPU percentages - they go high! -at least for me
When I press the green button again (open window), it seems the cover flow is stuck and it starts to look for the right cover.
Anybody else with this problem??

Hate to say it, but I'm having the same issue with the Mini Player after updating to iTunes 10.6
For years now I have enjoyed waking the Mac, clicking the play button on the Mini Player and resuming where I left off.
At this point I really don't have an answer and I'm still trying to sort out what has changed..?
The strange part is that everything else is working as expected, except that after a short period of time (sometimes after 2, 3 or 4 Albums) the CPU usage for iTunes jumps up to around 50 or 60% just like you have described. Even weirder is the fact that when I switch back to the normal full size Cover Flow window, the CPU usage instantly drops back to normal.. After trying a bunch of different stuff (restarting, repairing permissions, etc...) and playing around for awhile, kind of chalked it up as a beg or malfuntion between the Mini Player and Cover Flo same as you.
One work around that seems to be working for me is, I have switched the main iTunes window from Cover Flo to (boring) List view and now the Mini Player seems to be fine.
Other than that, at this point our best hope it to contact iTunes Support and send Feedback to iTunes.

Changing cover art after book is in store

Hi - I used Book Creator to make my book -- it just went up today -- using the producer is it possible to change one's cover art? - -want to make the titiles bigger. Thanks.

You’ll need to create a separate cover image and upload it to iTunes Producer. Use a tool like Photoshop or if you've created the book on your iPad you could just take a screenshot of your cover page and crop it.
The file must be a JPEG, PNG or TIFF file in RGB mode, (these are standard filetypes for images).
The image must also be a minimum of 1400px on its shortest side. It doesn’t matter if the cover art is landscape, portrait or square.

Cover Art, importing, & audio quality

In the process of ripping my CD's into iTunes in my Mac Mini I've noticed that iTunes doesn't always import the cover art. I know that this is a known issue among many posts in the forum but wanted to confirm that if the album isn't sold in the iTunes Store you won't get the cover art even if you are ripping your own CD's into iTunes. Is this correct? Also, is there no way to use something like Gracenote to import the cover art or do I have to do it manually. What is frustrating is that Windows Media Player on my Dell PC fnds these same CD's cover art no problem. Why can't iTunes do the same? Any thoughts or suggestions on an easy way to import missing cover art would be appreciated.
Also, I have a large amount of music files on an external hard drive that was originally connected to my Windows PC. What is the best way to import this music into iTunes on my Mac Mini?
Finally a question on audio quality of the various codecs available for ripping CD's into iTunes. I noticed that the ALAC encoding bit rate varies by CD whereas ripping as WAV always uses 1411 bps. I know ALAC is a lossless compression codec and so I am in the process of comparing the quality of the various codecs but was curious if anyone has any comments based on listening tests.
Thank you to all who reply with information.

I checked the latest episode and the MP3 file does not have an image embedded in it.
This is the method for adding it in iTunes on a Mac (I assume Windows would be similar):
Open iTunes and add the audio file to the library. Select it and hit command-i. Select the 'Artwork' tag. Drag your image to the space. Close, and when you play the track you should see the artwork. Drag the file out to the desktop and upload this version to the server. You can delete the copy in iTunes if necessary but if you are storing the file elsewhere you should replace it with this new version (which looks just the same, and note that the cover art does not appear in the QuickTime Player).

6th generation classic doesn't have full screen static cover art feature

my old 5th generation ipod classic had a function to display the cover art in the entire field of the 2.5 inch screen while playing the song.....i went into the a local apple store and asked the rep if the 6th generation classic had the same functionality.....after tooling around trying for 15 minutes to find it, two guys couldn't......does anyone know if the 6th gen ipod classic let's you display the image in the whole 2.5 inch screen while the song in playing, or is this a limitation of the new "cover flow" feature?

This is the ipod touch forum.
Maybe you should post i the ipod classic forum.

On itunes on my computer I put all my songs into the right albums and cover art on the albums but it doesn't show up that way on my ipod

On itunes on my computer I took the time to sort my songs put them by the correct artists and albums and got all the cover art for it but when i go to put it that way on my iPod it doesn't work that way? Why is it showing multiple albums for the same album and no cover art for some albums and unknown artists for the artist? It says differently on Itunes on my computer.

Hi adtsalmon,
You can only watch the movie on the device you rented it on. Here's a snippet from the Apple Support site (italics mine):
If you download a rented movie on your computer: You can transfer it to a device such as your Apple TV (1st generation), iPhone, iPad, or iPod if it’s a standard-definition film (movies in HD can only be watched on your computer, iPad, iPhone 4 or later, iPod touch (4th generation or later), or Apple TV). Once you move the movie from your computer to a device, the movie will disappear from your computer's iTunes library. You can move the movie between devices as many times as you wish during the rental period, but the movie can only exist on one device at a time.
If you download a rented movie on your iPhone 4 or later, iPad, iPod touch (4th generation or later), or Apple TV: It is not transferable to any other device or computer.
Here's the link to the Movie Rentals FAQs site FYI:

Hope this helps!

Cover Art Doesn't Display for New CDs, Podcasts, etc.

Cover art doesn't display for new items that I add to my 60GB iPod from iTunes. Older items are fine but new CDs, podcasts or songs purchased from iTunes don't display cover art on my iPod. The cover art is there when viewed in iTunes but just doesn't display when they are being played. The problem seems to have started about a month ago. Anyone experience something similar?

Thanks for the suggestion but.... it actually made the problem worse. When I went to the music tab I found that the "Display Cover Art" check box was unchecked so I clicked in the box and the fun began. First thing that happened was the iTunes status box displayed "Deleting covert art from iPod" (definately not what I would have expected) for about a minute then it changed to "Optimizing cover art on your iPod" (that seemed like a step in the right direction) but then I got an error message saying "Can't sync iPod. Unknow error". Closing out the error message ended the process. I was able to eject my iPod after that without any issues but now even more covert art doesn't display (even though when viewed through iTunes its there).

Cover flow full size

Yet another version of iTunes (11.0.3) and still there is no cover flow function available.
I find it almost unreal how Apples developers can take away such an important functionality - to obviously many users - and persist to do so, release after release.
I guess I have not yet discovered the other flaws and bugs with this new release (11.0.3) that many of you mention in other discussions but my greatest sorrow will always be the loss of the cover flow. All the time and effort I have put in to get the right resolution of my artwork...
I always used to have the cover flow in full size as my default image on iTunes.
Eone

I believe you mean the slide show. select some items in Finder (in any view not just coverflow) and enter commandoptiony. this will get you to the slideshow view. you can also use Quicklook by hitting the space bar.

COVER ART DOESN'T SHOW IN COVER FLOW

Just got the new ipod classic, 80gb.
Some of the cover art I synced doesn't show in cover flow. Instead of the blank musical note cover, it's just black, meaning it has content, but it just won't show.
But all the cover arts show perfectly in my itunes.
Help please.
Thanks.

I've had this problem also. This problem usually happens when I update new artwork to the iPod. SOLUTION: Try deleting the entire album from the iPod, then re-transfer the whole album from iTunes with the new artwork. This solution has worked for me every time (so far). Best of luck.
So many things about the 160GB performance suck ***, but I love the stupid thing. Hoping they fix all the bugs soon!

Cover art error message when submitting podcast, but image is the propper size.

I'm using Soundcloud to host a podcast. I tried submitting my RSS feed to itunes today, and I keep getting the error stating that my cover art must be at least 1400 x 1400 ect. The image being used is a 1400 x 1400 .jpg, so I can't figure out what the problem is. Can someone help me through this?
Here is my RSS Feed: http://feeds.soundcloud.com/users/soundcloud:users:118687921/sounds.rss

The image is still 600 x 600 - http://i1.sndcdn.com/avatars-000122042307-vnef41-original.jpg - it looks as if SoundCloud is 'helpfully' reducing the size to what used to apply several years ago. I don't know what you can do about this.
There are several ways of looking at the coding for your feed. The simplest is to control-click on its URL
http://feeds.soundcloud.com/users/soundcloud:users:118687921/sounds.rss
and choose 'Download' or 'Save linked file' or similar to download it. Then drag it onto the TextEdit icon to open it. Alternatively nominate a browser as your RSS reader - FireFox is good: Safari almost as good - in FireFox his command-u; in Safari you can access the source code from menus which differer with the version.

Can changes be made to the size of Cover Art after publication?

Can anyone please advise me on how to change the size of the cover art on the published work already in the iBookstore? It's showing up pretty small but when it's downloaded it's the proper size on the bookshelf. Right now, it appears landscape and half the size of the other covers. Any help is greatly appreciated! I'm quite new to this. It's my first book!

Use iTunes Producer to look up the metadata for your book and then replace the cover image and resubmit.
According to "Using iTunes Producer 2.6 for Books", you can update publication details except for the ISBN and the book type.
And, according to "iBookstore: Publisher User Guide 2.0":
If you discover errors in the EPUB file, book cover, pricing, clearances, or metadata, you can update them by simply redelivering via iTunes Producer.

Podcast cover art doesn't sync. Stuck at an old cover art. Help PLZZZZ?

Hi. The Podcast cover art doesn't sync. Its stuck at an old cover art from the previous played episodes. I believe it's showing the cover art from the first available episode even though each episode has a different cover art. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks a lot. :)

iTunes is looking for a feed at http://feeds.feedburner.com/RogueArrowPodcast . The reason this does not work is that the media file URLs are feedproxy ones which do not end with an extension, e.g. .mp3, so iTunes doesn't recognize them as media files and does not display the episodes. You need to provide a direct URL to the media files.
As to the other feed, the image URL leads to a Photobucket web page hosting the image. This obviously won't work and you need to provide a direct link to the image. The actual URL is
http://i714.photobucket.com/albums/ww146/amazingbass/Podcasts/RogueArrowiTunes.p ng
However the image is 1024 x 1024 - it must be 1400 x 1400 (and less than 500kB which it is at the moment).
If you submit this feed it will end up as an entirely separate podcast, entitled 'Autologicool Test Feed'. You need to correct the image and then substitute the code in the original feed from which the Feedburner feed is drawn.
