ITunes Duplicate Artwork

I'm running 10.7.1 and iTunes 10.4 (64-bit). When adding artwork to selected items within iTunes via the get info window, the artwork is added TWICE for each item when double-clicking on the artwork box and navigating to the art. However, when selecting multiple items in the main window and dragging the artwork to the artwork window in the lower left, the artwork is added correctly. This has been happening since 7-19-2011. There have been no occurrences prior to then, but it has occurred in every instance where I added the artwork via the get info window. I just had to delete are re-add artwork for over 350 songs. Not fun Apple.

I too have experienced this issue shortly after the (second) most recent update. I reported it to Apple, but never heard anything. I can only hope they resolve the issue in an upcoming update.
This is the second annoying issue I've encountered recently with iTunes album artwork. Last time, I had artwork displayed in my iTunes library, but missing from my iPod. This continues to be an issue and the only way I know to correct it is by removing the original artwork in iTunes, then re-adding it and synching back to the iPod - what a pain!

  • 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

  • Itunes duplicates all songs

    Why does iTunes duplicate every single song on my MAC?  Sometimes 3 or 4 tiimes

    Highlight a track, then press command+R to see to which file it points. Are they all the same file?
    Look at the "kind" column. Are they all the same format?  If you import a CD as one format, then convert it to another it will result in two copies of the same track with each format.

    If you are on Version 11.0.1 rather than 11 Apple put it back in
    View > Show Duplicates
    Option + View > Show Exact Duplicates
    so if you are on 11 upgrade to 11.0.1 and you will have it

  • Can I change where itunes grabs artwork frame from movie

    It seems that when I import a movie into itunes, the artwork for it is automatically created from a frame somewhere in the 10-15 second range.
    Is this a preference and can I change it?
    thanks in advance.

    firstly, buy an external harddrive, or add another harddrive (if you have a laptop) for the extra space. dell has a 3tb for about $89  sata desktop harddrive i believe.. but you will need to open itunes and look under preferences or options under view menu. there is an option to change where you import your CD's and photo's  but i have never seen an option to move your backups, but if it exsists it will be in with the rest of the file directory cvhanging options.

  • How does iTunes Album Artwork work in iTunes 8? Is store artwork embedded?

    I know that with music I add artwork to manually, the artwork is written to the ID3 tags of the music, embedded.
    I want to know if with iTunes 8, is artwork obtained from the iTunes store also written? I suspect so because in Finder, the quicklook preview of purchased music show the album art.
    If so, hooray!
    If not, how do I write them in permanently so they stick on whatever computer/device i copy them to?

    Artwork that is found and added through iTunes is not embedded. You would need to cut and paste the artwork into the Get Info box or by using third party tagging software in order to embed it.
    It's possible that there exists a script to take the iTunes added artwork and embed it. You might try looking at Doug's Scripts:

    Best of luck.

  • ITunes Movie Artwork - software to embed Artwork

    I know you can embed the artwork for music. Is there any way (external to iTunes) to embed the iTunes artwork for a movie... so that when you import the movie to iTunes the artwork is already there?
    PC or Mac application would be fine.
    Thanks in advance.

    Nevermind!!  Got it figured out!! 

  • Itunes duplicate message

    Hello all,
    Has anyone ever heard of this issue?
    It started when I clicked on my iTunes, got this weird message that something was up with that and I now have to go to iTunes duplicate...I don't know what I'm doing, so I clicked okay. It was blank, no songs that I had downloaded. Then heard my hard drive making the weird whirring noises. After I did the force shut down...tried to click on iTunes again, it came up, again blank, no songs, and then this really weird clear dark blind started coming down, top to bottom, on my monitor, like pulling the shades in a window but you could see through it, and then this other weird message came up saying that iTunes - sorry.
    I am trying to help a friend of mine. This is on an Ibook computer I beleive.
    I appreciate any input you might offer.
    Thanks
    Jon
