ITunes 11.1.5 (5) -How to Adding Artwork from scan not working

I'm reading in a bunch of old CDs. I am scaning the artwork. I get the Info window with the Artwork prompt. I can copy/drag the artwork in and it displays correctly. Permissions seem OK.
OK does nothing... ??? can't find help ... that works. Believe all patches and upgrades are current.
WSH

No Add button is displayed, however the code is clearly there as I can double click the Artwork input box in the Get Info window. As with all the methods, that allows me to select the artwork, adds it to the Artwork input box and it all disappears when I select OK. <sigh> Am I close? Because I am not sure I am seeing the "Artwork Tab" you are describing. There is a radio button next to the Artwork box that automatically activates when any of the methods adds artwork to the input. In the Multiple Item Information popup window (after Get Info) I see an "Artwork header" over the area that displays the imported artwork. But no "Add" I have "Info, Video, Sorting and Options" tabs at the top of that window.
When the art work is displayed (all methods) the OK button pulses bright/dim. Then when OK is selected the artwork disappears.
Sorry to be so dense. I really appreaciate your attempt to help! Thank you.
If I knew how to do a window capture in IOS, I'd show you what I'm looking at...

Migrate Album art from Windows player to iTunes?

Sorry if this has been asked a million times but....
Is there a way to migrate the artwork from Windows media player into iTunes?
It seems that media player keeps all the art within each album folder which means that I already have the art for albums that the great and mighty iTunes can't seem to find. And I have checked to confirm this - about 700 or so albums that I have art for in media player can't be found in iTunes. I thought that they all accessed the same CDDB info.

Welcome to the Apple Community.
You only need to drag something onto iTunes in order to import it, however it will need to be in the correct format. If the files in your Windows player are in Windows format you will need to convert them before you can import them.

Help needed adding album artwork using Windows Vista

My computer is a PC running Windows Vista. I am missing some album artwork - some artwork from CDs I ripped to Windows Media Player and subsequently transferred to ITunes and my IPod Classic (120GB), and some artwork that is either missing from ITunes or incorrect album artwork. When I drag an album image from ITunes to my album artwork window, it won't copy, nor can I do it from Windows Media Player. Yes, I have enabled automatic download of artwork in ITunes, and yes, I have already read the basic adding album artwork article, and I am not able AT ALL to do any kind of drag and drop.
I also noticed that my ITunes songs is missing album artwork that ITunes has a partial album for, but I have the FULL album (which I transferred from WMP)
Any suggestions?

You can't copy the artwork from the iTunes Store...
You also won't have any joy if you're trying to add artwork to wav files as they don't support tags.
Use Google, Amazon, Discogs etc. to locate relevant images. Ideally these should be square, 320x320 pixels or above and borderless to give the best results in the various menus. Copy the image from the source, then select all the tracks of the album, use CTRL-I to *Get Info* and paste the image into the artwork box.

recently "lost" a purchased song, (Plus the accompanying artwork) from my i-tunes library, after upgrading my O.S. from windows XP to windows 7.
Is there any way to get the original song back, or, at least, re-purchase it?... I tried to do the latter, (It's still available in the itunes store) but, when I clicked on the buy link, I was informed that I had already bought it and was only given the option to, either, copy the link or send it to Facebook/Twitter
I also, inadvertently, deleted a couple of default playlists (Notably recently added) while attempting to get the song back.
Can someone out there, please, help me out. with the solution(s). (preferably step by step if possible, as I'm a bit of a Homer Simpson when it comes to this sort of thing) .. Doh!! :-(

Copy paste from windows clipboard to JTextField

I am making a swing application with a lot of components in it. There are a lot of JtextFields in the application. when i do Ctrl+C from a JTextField and do a Ctrl V in a different JTextField of the same application the text gets copied to the second JTextField. But when i copy something from windows and try to paste it in JTextField it does'nt work. Please guide me. Some other component is eating up the Ctrl C/Ctrl V event or what?
I tried adding keystroke's to the InputMap of the JTextField but it still does'nt work.

Cannot paste artwork from clipboard into itunes

I can no longer post artwork from the clipboard to my ipod classic after I installed ituens 10.4.80 -1. Any suggestions? It was the update before 80. I installed 80 hoping it would fix. When I try to paste it is just black.

Ed2345,
Thanks for the response especiall so quickly. Appreciate it!
I have already tried drop-n-drag with no success. Saving artwork works fine however it is time consuming. I had a problem with the artwork file and have to redo all that cannot be found online - I have many. Hopefully Apple will fix in a later release.
Kind regards,
Mike

Adding Printer from Print and Fax does not bring up the correct Window.

Hi,
When I first had my Macbook, OSX Leopard, I tried adding a printer and saw that the Window that popped up allowed me to add printers from IP, Windows, Local, Etc.
However, when I came back to add a printer now, all I get is this window:
http://img502.imageshack.us/img502/2748/picture1vc9.png
That window pops up when I press the + on this window:
http://img264.imageshack.us/img264/8923/picture2sc1.png
I remembered when I press the + button, it would come up with a different window than the one I get now, which allowed me to add a printer from Windows, among other options.
Please let me know if the window I get right now is supposed to happen. I can't add any printers from the window I get now.
Thanks alot.

Just to add a bit of clarity to the previous response, you need to click on the clear, oval widget at the upper right-hand corner of the the window. That will reveal the Toolbar with the options for IP, Windows, etc.

I have just dowloaded iTunes new version 10.4 (on Windows), and I can't paste artwork from Word anymore, only directly from the net (where the size or the quality are not always optimal). Any way around this?

Major problem given that I'm in the process of re-ripping some 40K+ songs in Lossless format... Any way around this?

Manually adding Artwork (like from iTS)

Hi there, I'm scanning the artwork that comes from my CDs to add them to the songs. I'm noticing that when I do it, the song file size grows. Which sounds logical. At the same time I understand that what happens to the song-files when the artworks are downloaded automatically from the iTS is different (I'm not sure here, I'm just guessing): The songs don't really grow in size as the artwork doesn't really go into them. What I understand is that they are stored somewhere else and the songs just refer to them.
If this is true, well, I see an obvious advantage, the songs stay the same size and probably it's faster to play them and display their artworks.
If there's any expert around in the iTunes ways, please help me out. If the way iTS downloads and adds the artworks into the songs is better, and there is a way to replicate it, I'd love to know how. Otherwise I'll stick to my fully manual process.
Thanks.

I artwork already is embedded in the song files, iTunes won't get artwork from the iTunes store.
You could delete all artwork and then get the ones from the iTunes Store, but this is a bit tricky. If the artist or album isn't available at the Store, no artwork is downloaded. So you end with nothing for those albums.
I would consider getting assistance from a script to save the existing artwork first.
The first one which came in mind is Save Album Art to Album Folder.
It saves the artwork from the selected tracks to the folder where the song file resides or to a chosen folder. But it saves the artwork of all tracks, not just the album.
Another, more attractive option is to save the artwork using Export Artwork to iPhoto.
This one has an option to save only one piece of artwork of an album.
After you saved the artwork, select all tracks (Command-A) and 'Get Info' (Command-I). Check the checkbox at 'Artwork' and click OK.
iTunes will remove all embedded artwork.
Select all tracks again and choose 'Get Album Artwork' from the Advanced menu. Alternatively control-click on the selection and choose 'Get Album Artwork' from the contextual menu.
After a while, iTunes will have downloaded the artwork for (hopefully) most albums. You then can add missing ones from your iPhoto library.
Which method you choose, it will take a lot of time depending on the size of your library.
Ideal would be a script that saves the artwork, deletes it from the song file, requests the Store for artwork, deletes the saved artwork if artwork is downloaded or adds the saved artwork if no artwork is downloaded.
However, such a script does not exist (yet) as far as I know.
Some notes:
You must be using iTunes 7.0.x
You must have an iTunes Store account.
The song, artist and album names must exactly match the ones at the iTunes Store, although recent experiences showed to me that minor mismatches still will download the correct artwork.

Cannot add artwork from computer to itunes 12.1

I can add add artwork from itunes store but most of my collection are old and itunes cannot find them. I have loaded them onto Helium ( It found them) But I cannot get them in itunes. Add artwork way, Copy and paste, Drag them Nothing works.

iTunes 12.1 should support three ways to add artwork using existing image files on your PC, all starting with right-click > Get Info and then the Artwork tab, Then:
click the Add Artwork button, navigate to and select an image file on your computer, or
drag and drop an image file from your computer to the Artwork tab, or
copy an image to the clipboard, for example, from a web page, go to the Artwork tab and press Ctrl-V (the right-click > Paste option that was available in prior releases is not available in iTunes 12.0 or 12.1)
However, there are three cases in which you can follow these procedures but artwork is not correctly associated with or embedded in your media files:
your media are in a format that doesn't accommodate embedded artwork - typically WAV files. To embed artwork you'll need to convert to another format - Apple Lossless or AIFF if you want to preserve lossless quality, AAC or MP3 otherwise.
your media files are read only - to fix this, use Windows Explorer to find the folder that contains your files, right-click and select Properties. On the General tab there's a check box labeled "Read-only" - if this is checked, or is grey (sometimes blue), click the box so that the flag is unchecked and the box is white. Click OK, and then OK again when the "Apply changes to this folder, subfolders and files" option selected. Now try adding the artwork again.
Windows permissions issues are preventing iTunes from updating your media files (there's some anecdotal evidence of a change in this behavior in iTunes 12). See turingtest2's notes on Repair security permissions for iTunes for Windows for advice on fixing this, then try adding the artwork again.

How can I get ITUNES to display manually added artwork for each song regardless of the album name?

I have been manually adding artwork to my songs. When I click the Show Artwork check box, it doesn't show the cover art. For example some greatest hits albums have different cover art per track. ITUNES picks one of the cover art and shows it for the entire album grouping.
Anyway around this? I want the added cover art to display per song.

The artwork of each individual track does display during playback, in the small thumbnail at the top of the iTunes window, or at the left of the MiniPlayer control (opens by clicking the thumbnail), or the larger artwork panel that is shown if you click on the Show Large Artwork control in the MiniPlayer. It should also display on any iPod or iOS Now Playing view.
The Up Next list uses the album art (usually cover of the first track) for everything from the same album, which is perhaps a shame, although in general one artwork per album makes sense.

Adding Artwork in iTunes 10

I used to just search for the artwork in Firefox, then go to Get Info in iTunes and drag and drop the album art...
That doesn't seem to work now. Oddly enough it worked ONE TIME but it hasn't worked again since. The cursor doesn't change.
What's the fastest way to add artwork in iTunes10?

adding artwork never was a problem. Usually, as was already suggested, I would choose the whole album (highlight all songs from the same album), if I see all the songs, or just right-click on the album if I am in the higher level menu (see only albums), then go to Get Info and in the main Tab called Info there is a place for the artwork in the bottom right corner, where I'd drug the artwork file from the browser or Finder. There is a green plus sign appearing above the field, then just drop the image there.
It always worked, NOT ANYMORE, probably, after I updated to version 10.5.2, cannot be sure: I've just converted an LP into wav files using a converter and then tried to add the artowork to them. That did NOT work the way I described above. For some of single songs I was able to add artwork by droppping the file into the artwork field
at the left bottom corner of the main iTunes window, but for some it did NOT work! Some further investigation gave the following: if I open Get Info for some individual songs, there is an Artwork tab there which is accessible (and show by clear black colour). The artowork can then be also added there (by dragging). However, for some songs that field is not anymore accessible and is masked (shown by a soft gray colour). I have no clue of why this happens!!! Does anybody have any idea???

6.0.2.23 import new cd's - lose artwork from tracks already in library

Upgraded to 6.0.2.23 successfully and this rev fixed Outlook synching glitches, but now when I import new cd's I lose artwork from tracks that are already in my library.
All cover art has been added manually via get info-paste artwork, sometimes 1 track at a time, sometimes multiple tracks at once.
Doesn't seem to be any rhyme or reason as to which ones disappear, but everytime I rip, more are missing. Perhaps it's not the ripping causing the problem. Maybe adding the artwork to the new tracks flips some bit on other tracks from the same record label...
It's bad enough that you have to add them yourself, but losing them after all that effort is just a real nard buster.
HP m1170n Windows XP Media Center Edition 2005

I am also experiencing severe PC playback issues with iTunes 6.0.2.23. At the beginning of each track, for 10 or 15 seconds the CPU pins at 100% & all other applications stall - email, word processing, web browsing etc. As well, the track playing often goes silent for about five seconds.
I have disabled all services (antivirus, antispyware, popup blockers etc.) as per Apple's recommendation, with no improvement. This is a huge disappointment after 3 years of good iTunes behaviour.
I have resorted to using iTunes only for updating my iPods (I have a 3G 20GB, two Shuffles and a 60GB video iPod), and using Windows Media Player (which has an inferior GUI) for playing music while I work. Any suggestions would be appreciated.
