Add artwork tab missing

I hilite album selections,click "get Info" There are 4 tabs on top-Info,Video,Sorting And Options---Should be an artwork tab next but it's not there How do I get It?

If you are working on an album from the Grid View then Get Info will apply to all tracks on the album. You can add art into the square box on the Info tab. If you drill down to the tracks, or use one of the other views such as Album List, then select a single track and Get Info you will find the extra tabs that only apply to a specific track.

Itunes artwork tab missing for movies in version 11.1.3.8

For some reason recently I am noticing the artwork tab missing when I import in a movie into my itunes directory. This just started happening and the movie formats are exactly the same as ones which have the artwork tab available. These are all MPEG-4 Video Files at 124 kbps. Typical iTunes 'anomoly' but on this one I am baffled. Anyone have a clue as to how to fix this? I even tried completely removing the movie from the itunes file directory and then reimporting into iTunes but same issue.

No need to scream at me.
You can access the apps by clicking the iPad thingy on top right of the screen (when the iPad is connected) and then select Apps and scroll down to file sharing apps...
Or....
As I said....
EXACT SAME WAY AS BEFORE

Artwork tab missing when selecting multiple tracks

osx 10.5.8
itunes 9.0.3
i'm having trouble assigning MULTIPLE pieces of album art to MULTIPLE tracks SIMULTANEOUSLY.
i see that i can add multiple arts to a single track by:
.. selecting a single track by highlighting -> get info -> artwork tab
.. selecting and playing a single track (so that the speaker icon appears to the left of the track in the playlist; paused or not) -> dragging artwork into the artwork pane in itunes; artwork gets added only to the track with the speaker icon regardless of which track(s) are highlighted. if there is existing artwork, new art gets added (does not replace old art).
also, adding a single piece of art to multiple tracks can be done by:
.. selecting tracks by highlighting -> get info -> info tab -> artwork field (note: artwork FIELD within info TAB of 'get info' dialog, not artwork tab)
adding multiple arts to multiple tracks simultaneously COULD NOT be done by:
.. selecting (highlighting) multiple tracks -> get info; ARTWORK TAB IS MISSING WHEN MULTIPLE TRACKS ARE SELECTED! there is only the artwork field in the info tab. setting this field with art resets any previous art -- the only art for the selected tracks will be the single piece you set in this field.
.. selecting (highlighting) multiple tracks -> dragging artwork into the artwork pane in itunes; artwork gets added only to the (single) track with the speaker icon (playing/paused) regardless of which track(s) are highlighted.
i've seen it done in (unknown version) windows itunes by:
.. selecting (highlighting) multiple tracks -> get info -> artwork tab (NOT MISSING!?)
pretty aggravating heh
help please.

haaaa
i just figured it out.
just above the artwork box in the lower left of the window, there is bar.
you can click on it to toggle between Now Playing and Selected Item.
this was my problem -- mine was on now playing. i didn't realize this was changeable.
thanks for motivating me to click at and around that artwork pane in frustration, guys. yay.
solved.

Missing Artwork tab in Get Info?

Recently I've noticed more and more files that don't have the Artwork tab when you go into the info. I like keeping everything organized with DVD artwork, but I can't figure out why it's just some files and not others. If I select multiple files, I can set the artwork that way, so my workaround is to set the artwork on the problem file along with one that does have the artwork tab, then I go back into the "good" one and use Get Info to set that one back to its actual artwork.
Any ideas?

Solution
1) remove the Cache, Download, and Local directories in c:/My Documents/My Music/iTunes/Album Artwork/ then restart iTunes.
2)Next allow iTunes to load all the artwork from the songs in your library.
3)Fix any with missing artwork if you so desire
4)Turn off artwork in music tab, sync, turn on artwork, sync (optimizes album artwork for all songs)

Missing allbum artwork tab?

A couple of my songs, when I go to "Get Info" don't have an album artwork tab. One song I know has had one before but now does not. Why is this, can it be fixed?
And for these songs, when I try and add artwork to that little box in the bottom left which says "drag album artwork here" it looks like it has worked until I go to another song and come back, and the artwork I put there has gone! It is quite frustrating! Can anyone help me with this? This is itunes 7.2.0.34 by the way

Have you tested this issue with a new user account?
Have you consolidated your iTunes Library to copy your changes to the folder?
Open iTunes- Go to Advanced- Consolidate Library
You may also want to perform a simple Uninstall and Reinstall. And ensure you have the latest iTunes and Quicktime Software. If these tips still do not help please post back so we can further provide assistance.

I got a new computer, told it library was on external hd, no problem. A lot of artwork was missing though (NOT manual artwork, only previous artwork I'd asked itunes to find). I ran 'get artwork' but it's only asigned artwork to the1st song in each album

So, I got a new computer. As my itunes library has gone through a few in its time, it lives permanently on my external hard drive, as this generally makes moving to new computers hassle free. I told my freshly intsalled itunes on my new computer where to find the library and it got all my songs, movies etc no problem. However, some albums were missing artwork (NOT any of the albums I had ever manually added artwork to, thank god, these all seemed to be intact, jut ones where itunes had previously got artwork for me). I asked itunes to get missing artwork, as is par for the course. This it did, but it has only installed artwork for one song per album (generally the first song, or the lowest numbered track for incomplete albums, as far as I can tell).
It does not acknowledge these songs as missing artwork when I create a smart playlist but, erm, they are - the artwork doesn't show up on the display in the bottom LH corner or in the info tab. WHY? When I've added new albums 'get artwork' has always added artwork for EACH song on the album in every previous itunes I've ever had. I don't get it at all.
I appreciate it might be irreperably messed up, but please don't reply with any manual adding solutions. I have over 25,000 songs in my library and to go through and manually ask itunes to add artwork to each song (apart from the first on the album which already has it) would take SO LONG it makes me want to die inside.
I can't find anything else on this. Other people have had issues with itunes match and devices, but these songs don't even have artwork on itunes, let alone on my ipod, iphone etc.

Well my first guess was wrong. The line that failed is the one that writes out the image to disk. I've not revisited the code for that script for ages, but it seems I did add in an extra test for missing files a little while later, then forgot to upload the change. I can reproduce the error message if I deliberately rename a file to confuse iTunes so that seems the most likely reason for your problem with the script. I've uploaded a new build of CreateFolderArt which should work better.
See FindTracks for a tool to repair broken links. You should probably get that issue fixed first.
I know what SPSS stands for but that is all I know about it.

Help! Trying to add artwork to my imported dvds but it's not working!

Hi there,
I have been steadily transferring my dvds to itunes for the last few weeks, and have not had a problem adding artwork until now. I always sort them into genre and add the artwork at the same time, but for some reason when I click okay it moves the movie to the right section but no artwork appears, and when I go to add it again the artwork button is disabled- it's there, but I can't click it. I don't know how else to add artwork to it so if anyone has any ideas that would be appreciated!
Many thanks!

I am not sure I can help with the automatic artwork download as I haven't seen that problem before. The automatic download it is an imperfect system. It does make mistakes, particularly on older movies and CD's. The other way to get artwork is manually adding a picture to the info section for each movie.
1) Use a search engine to find a desireable picture of appropriate size. Usually typing in the movie/album name is enough to give you many proper choices.
2) Copy the picture from it's source.
3) Within iTunes, right-click on the movie/album with the missing artwork and select GET INFO.
4) The farthest right tab is labeled "artwork". Select it. Then paste your found picture into the box. Click OK.
Obviously this takes a little work, it is the only way aorund improper artwork and may serve as a temporary work-around for you.
*iTunes may think is has already downloaded the artwork, and thus won't let you do it again. Check the "artwork" tab under GET INFO to see if there is a picture there. Also check to see if the "clear albumn artwork" choice is available (right-click on movie). You could clear and try again.

How to ungray Artwork tab in Get Info?

I deleted the image that was in the Artwork (in Get Info) tab. When I went to add a new one the Artwork tab is now grayed out. It wasn't gray before I deleted the image. It's for a movie that's a m4v that was purchased from the iTunes store. Any hints on how to ungray it?

I am trying to run, for example, TechTool Pro installed on an external HD to check my internal HD. When I attempt to do this I get the message indicated in my July 17 2008 1:36PM post (above). Thus, I cannot run TTP because I do not see the "ignore permissions" option at the bottom of the Get Info window. I must be missing some point here. I unchecked "ignore permissions" for TechTool Pro and DiskWarrior in 10.4 and earlier iterations of the Mac OSX.

How can I load this album art? Artwork tab does not display.

If I place the cursor on one of the items in a compilation and right-click, then select (click) "Get Info", I get this message: "Are you sure you want to edit info for multiple items?" If I click "Yes," nothing happens (I can't add the cover), and there is no "Artwork" tab at the top. The "Summary" page says "There is no album artwork" (greyed out).
If I place the cursor on one of the items in this compilation and right-click, then select (click) "Get album artwork", I get a message saying Apple can't find it. But I placed the artwork for this particular album in my "Album Artwork" folder.
Any suggestions on how I can get the album art to display for this compilation? Thanks!

Are these wav files by any chance? These don't support a tagging system. iTunes can associate iTMS art with wav files when it's available/recognised, but as there is no tag the information cannot be embedded in the files so iTunes doesn't support adding art to wav files.

Most of my album artwork is missing after updating to iOS 5

I just updated my iPod Touch 4G to iOS 5 and now all my album artwork is missing. What should I do?
Is there a way to get back the album art in my iPod?
Can Apple fix this problem?

Have a similar situation; album art was all there (added the correct way in iTunes) and I Manually Sync my 4G Touch. After the iOS5 update, I ‘Dragged & Dropped’ one Smart-Playlist to the Touch and then lost 80% of the Album Art on the Touch. What really is upsetting, the Art is there. Dock the iPod and iTunes show’s the Art listed and within ‘Get Info’ for the iPod.
This need to STOP, more then 10 years of using iPod without this problem and in the last two months had to reload 3-times already since getting the 4G Touch; great loss of time with a 64G. Add a Warning! or something. Maybe it’s an issue with iTunes 10.5.0.142, OS-Win-7?
UPDATE: for this scenario, I think the Art got corrupted by older Art listed in iTunes. When I fixed the 1st occurrence of missing Art, I only fixed what was on the iPod to save time (only 30% bad) and then when I ‘Sync’ed’ a Playlist from iTunes, 80% of Art then got corrupted. There are trade-off’s to both Auto and Manual Syncing. Like I said; “a Warning! would be nice” OR how about “Asking”; “Do You Wish To Overwrite The Existing Art?”

ITunes manually added artwork is missing after Windows Easy Transfer from XP to Windows-7. Please help!

After a Windows Easy Transfer from a Windows XP pc to a new Windows-7 pc, all the iTunes artwork that I had previously manually added is now missing. I estimate 25-30% of my CDs needed manual intervention to add artwork. Some of these were album covers I found on the web but many are photos that I took and cropped but have not retained. I have nearly 20,000 songs. Every one had artwork on my XP machine. Now on Windows-7 it appears to be missing. I spent many patient hours to get artwork in place for all my music and don't want to loose it or have to repeat the process. Please help! Many thanks for any contributions.

Can't add artwork to itunes movies

Hi,
I am using Video Converter Ultimate to load my dvd collection in iTunes movies. The converter output is .m4v file. When I add artwork to the "Artwork" tab of the Get Info box It will add but then I get a spinning colored ball and I must force quit iTunes. When I reopen the move in iTunes the movie will not play. The move is there but when playing the movie it is black (no video will play). Any suggestions?
Thank you
VPH

The Movies are M2V formated, and have AC3 Audio (Have an AC3 Plugin' and Have Apples MPEG 2 component). So please can anyone help me get Artwork to my Movie in iTunes?
Sorry to say, it is not possible in this case. The ability to add/contain graphic "artwork" in iTunes is a property of the file container here. M4V and MP4 containers, for instance, can contain one such independent graphic. On the other hand, an MOV (assume you saved your M2V/AC3 data as an MOV) file cannot. On the other hand, your MOV file can have a "poster frame." If you are not a "purist," you can get around this problem by simply adding/drag 'n dropping your graphic to an appropriate point in your MOV file (I would recommend the end of the file), setting it as your "poster frame," and saving the file. In iTunes, this "poster frame" will now show up in your "artwork" display locations. (PS -- this is on a separate track as you attempted to do. In QT Pro, pre-position playhead to end of file and add JPEG track last so its layer is above main movie layer.)

Can't seem to add artwork to pdf files

In the "Books" tab, I can add artwork to epub books, but I can't seem to add artwork to pdf files. Is this a normal thing? Or is there something I'm doing wrong?
Also, do you know what I should be setting my page widths to if I want the pdf files I create to display nicely in Portrait mode on an iPhone? The ones I made seem to only look nice in Landscape mode.

Devin, If they end in .ogg, they are OGG Vorbis files. This is a well-known open-source music format, but iTunes is unable to play it.
Also, as you have just learned, when iTunes encounters a file that is not copmatible, it "errors silently," i.e. gives no indication of what they problem is.
To resolve it, use a 3rd party conversion program such as Switch to convert the OGG files into MP3, and then they will add to iTunes.
