Is there a way to add album art without it being embedded in the MP3 file?

The reason for my question is that I don't have the color display on my 20gb iPod, so I don't want to waste space by adding album art to the mp3/aac file. But, it'd be cool to have the art within iTunes on my computer.
I just read in another thread that the way iTunes 7 takes care of the album art does not actually attach it to the track. Is this true?

There is not.
Even with the high res art from the iTune Store, I believe the file size increase is less than 2%, at least for my library.

__ Is there a way to add new art boards to an existing document?

Is there a way to add new art boards to an existing document (same dimensions and same space betwen artboards)?
What I do now is I have to create a new file (with new number of artboards) and cut & paste - is there another way to do this?
Thanks.

What Illy version?
File > Document Setup > "Edit Artboards" button (top, right)
Before entering Edit Artboard mode though, draw boxes at the right size and at the right locations as your desired new artboards so you can snap to them. While in Edit Artboard, anything other drawing boxes will cause you to exit it.
Tip: Alt+Left Click to convert a slected shape to an Artboard, while in Edit Artboard mode.
EVEN EASIER:
Draw out your new Artboards in normal mode, select them > Object > Artboards > Convert to Artboards.

On the new ipod touch, is there a way to enlarge album art to fill the whole screen?

Hi there,
For Christmas I was given a new ipod touch (long story short my old one I put through the wash by mistake ) and this new one is great but when I listen to a song on the new itouch the album art does not fill the whole screen like my old itouch, this is a small detail I know but I loved that feature so much and I was hoping there was a setting I could activate/change which allows this on the new itouch.
At the moment on the new itouch the album art is small and centered towards the top of the screen while the function icons are below the image while on the last one the album art filled the whole screen and the function icons where over the picture at the bottom and didn't stand out as much as it does now.
I have drawn a very rough MSpaint diagram explaining what I mean lol.....

Anyway my question is, is there a way to have the album art fill the whole screen with the new itouch?

Just sync them to the iPod. See:
iTunes: Syncing photos
They will not go to the camera roll album but to a new album

Is there a way to rename a template without breaking existing pages using the 'old' template?

Hi guys,
I am using CQ 5.4. and I want to refactor existing code of a project. Part of that involves renaming existing templates. Renaming one locally, I saw that existing pages break because they can't 'find' the old template. is there a way to rename a template without breaking those pages?
Thanks,
Alex

I'm not aware of any GUI tool that does this in Leopard. you can change the names of the share points by hand by editing the appropriate plists located in /private/var/db/dslocal/nodes/Default/config/SharePoints/ but that's a pretty horrible way to do it and is the opposite of user friendly. don't know any other way though.

Is there a way of getting album art on to itunes for CD's I already own?

If I buy an album from the music store, it gives me the artwork. However, if I'm just putting a CD onto Itunes, it will find all the track details but not the artwork. Not a big issue, but is there any way to get round this?

I use 'iTunes Art Importer' (Google it) - a nice little program that will search and import album art from Amazon automatically.
Just be aware that your MP3 file size will increase because the jpeg is embedded in it and the larger the jpeg, the larger the increase.
I think iTunes Art Importer selects suitably small thumbnails.

Is there a way to see album art in Song View?

I am constantly trying to clean up new tracks as I bring them in. Is there a way to view the Art for albums/tracks in Song View? Also, is there a way to "group" tracks by album in this view like iTunes 10 did? Without visual grouping it makes reading tracks, to verify the album is complete, a real pain.

No, there is no way to quickly preview artwork of selected songs. You have to commit with "Get Info". I agree, the lack of a preview window makes managing the library far more tedious. You can't trust the artwork in "Album" view because iTunes seems to pull that from the cloud, artwork you see may not embedded in the song.
This was the main reason I switched back to iTunes 10.7. The other reason was the inability to open multiple windows. I was trying to create a playlist of the songs on my daughters's iPod touch, and ended up having to create a screenshot of the iPod. Convoluted workarounds for tasks that used to be done in one click is called "progress".

Way to repair album art without doing a complete restore?

All the album art has gone missing from my ipod after last sync.
As it takes about 4-5 hours to do a complete restore, I'd rather avoid doing that. Is there a way to force a restore of just the album art database?
Thanks.

No, a restore will be needed.

Is there a way to edit album info without having to update each song individually?

So I am currently working on ripping my CD collection into iTunes. However sometimes the iTunes default information is wrong (album artwork, year, etc.)
So is there a way I can update an album quicker than having to select each track and go one by one. For example...if the correct year for a particular album is 1994 and iTunes had it at something else, is there a way I can just enter the correct info and have it update all tracks in that album in one shot? Thanks.

Click on the first track, shift+click on the last track. Command+i to get info on the group (same as for single).

Is there a way to get a wallpaper without it being zoomed in?

The wallpapers that come with the PB are ok but I can find better ones I like on google and download them and I have pictures of my car I took and both the downloaded ones and the camera pictures are very zoomed in when I set them as wallpaper. That zoomed in they look pixilated and a lot of the actual picture gets cut out. Is there a way I can get a full picture as a wallpaper like the wallpaper ones that came with it, but without using those ones, using downloaded ones or camera pictures.
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Found my own solution, the blackberry wallpaper apps (the free ones) never worked or would load the pictures but today I found an android port that was free and it has a good selection and I see how they are configured. The picture is really small when viewing but when set as a wallpaper it fits the dimensions perfectly, but if you want to use a camera picture or one off of google you can pinch the photo while viewing it to make it smaller and then take a screenshot of it and it will fit better, it might be alittle more grainy than the properly formatted ones from the wallpaper app but if you really want to use your own atleast with the method I came up with you can get the whole picture to be shown. It would be so much easier if there just was a wallpaper setting and you could crop or choose how you want your picture to be displayed.

Is there a way to add an app to a wish list in the iPad?

I owned an HP touchpad for a brief period and it had this option. It was very useful when searching the many apps available in a particular category. Where is this feature in the iPad? Thank you.

As far as I know (I havn't found a way yet anyway) you can only add to it and view it via iTunes on your computer. You can provide feedback to Apple : http://www.apple.com/feedback/ipad.html

Is there any way i can keep pages documents and numbers documents in the same file?

Im trying to group pages and numbers documents in the same file is this possible?

Not on the iPad itself, no. iOS apps keep their documents within each app itself. You would need to save the documents to a WebDAV server. Dropbox can serve this function if partnered with DropDAV. See:

How do I add album art not using iTunes

How do I add album art without first importing the songs into iTunes? Is there a program that will do this?

Well, my preferred method is to use a web search engine, restrict it to display artwork, then choose the best. Slow but sure.
Browse the wwww.pure-mac.com web site for free utilities out there. I am sure there are many commercial packages to "clean up" iTunes but frankly I think they are hype.
See if there is something on the Dougscripts web site.
I know I have utilities such as XLD that do it as part of the CD ripping process.

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....

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.

As someone's investigation like below;
It is NOT working the way of adding an Album Art in your POD
On the contrary of this, When we use a mode of 'Sync' files
from my ITUNE's Library Lists than it worked outrageously
Yea, the other users have been faced with this
freaky yeuky things earlier than me. So the light bulb
is : We gotta waiting for Patching for ITUNE7.
ps : Sometimes, But the SYNC mode make my hands and
my body everything tired...
I hope someone might be helpful
pps : DO any better idea? Catch Me then
and Thx read my lame phrase....
