Album artwork changes

I have recently tried to change the album artwork for an episode of Dr. Who I purchase from itunes. Itunes got the artwork for the episode wrong (i.e. the two doctors is the episode but the artwork is from the fox doctor who movie made almost a decade later). So I tried to cut and paste artwork from the actual episode of the two doctors into the appropriate "artwork" tab in the itunes file for this episode. The artwork shows up fine in the slide deck on the itunes application, but I still get the old artwork in the apple tv slide deck. The video file is being streamed to my apple tv so I don't know if that complicates the issue.
Regards,
Dr. Whovian fan (classic and new series)

did you remove the old artwork from the file? or did you just add the correct artwork to the file ? (the latter would result in the file having 2 artwork files).
if you removed the incorrect artwork from it, then make sure you click the "sync" button in itunes (even though you are streaming) as this will force appletv to see the changes.

Album artwork changed to "generic" images after trasfer from XP to Win7

I recentlly got a new Windows 7 pc, and I used a Belkin Easy transfer cable with my old Windows XP pc.
This transfered all my iTunes songs, but changed the album artwork to generic images, and not the orginal
artwork. I've triied get album artwork, but it dosn't change the image.
Is there a way to remove the artwork?
Has anyone else had this problem?

I tried what you recommended and really see no difference. Let me add something that may help. When I installed Thunderbird on the Win 7 PC it did create a profile (but obviously with a different name from the one created on XP). The changes I mentioned making was to point the Win 7 version to use the profile from XP. But I just thought of one thing, on Win 7 the path would use AppData but on XP it would be Application Data. I think that because if does not have the same path names it does not see the Outlook folder. So if the Thunderbird on my Win 7 PC is not fixable, what is the best way to transfer the profile and all my old folders from XP over to Win 7?

Album artwork changed suddenly

Hey peeps, have a question, maybe someone has had to deal with this? I went through 10 pages on this forum and also did a search on the specific problem I'm dealing with without finding a solution.
Purchased album / singles artwork changed recently without any action from my part. Example: I purchased the album "Sospiri" by soprano Cecilia Bartoli. Obviously the cover is something appropriate for opera. To my surprise, every single song today had been replaced with a picture of a bear (I am not kidding) for an obscure movie called "Quigley". I have nothing like that on my iTunes library. Another example: Enrique Iglesias' "I Like It" suddenly shows up with Gloria Estefan's greatest hits cover. And yet another: The XX's iTunes Festival live EP shows up with one of Beyoncé's albums cover.
I didnt do anything to trigger these changes. I have looked for the source of this problem on iTunes's preferences pane but I have the "Automatically download missing artwork" unchecked.
Can someone shed any light on this situation?
Much appreciated.

I originaly had all of my artwork, some came with the albums, others I had to spend ages finding a suitable image and copying into the info section of each album. Recently half of it disappeared and not following any pattern i.e. some purchased, some home ripped also gone!!
I really hate these companies who, on making vast amounts of money, cant deliver but more importantly change things for the worse without any choice to the customer.
ANy ideas to solve my problem would be grateful....

How can I edit/change/update/remove album artwork for a song in iCloud?

Dear Community,
my problem is the following.
I'm editing my songs/albums artworks and when I change these artworks, iTunes Match syncs my artworks back to the original ones.
I've tried a lot of things, read a lot of discussions but I didn't find a solution for this problem.
For example:
I've deleted for an album all of my songs artworks, then set the good one. Then I've done an update for iTunes Match in Store menu. My artworks didn't changed on an Apple TV2
If I just delete the artworks, do an iTunes Match upgrade, the artworks on an iPhone 4S & Apple TV2 remains the same (I've also removed the songs from my iPhone and redownloaded them...)
I used TuneUp iTunes plugin for song identifying. It did a very good job, changed my artworks, my metadata, everything looked good. After a few minutes iTunes Match synced, the artworks restored to the old ones, but the metadata info didn't changed, it is updated in iCloud too.
I'm also tried to get artworks from iTunes, it worked very well for some albums, but again: iTunes Match synced...
I've turned off iTunes Match, done the album editing. Again when I've turned on iTunes Match, the album artworks restored..
In my opinion if I use a cloud service, anything I do locally in my iTunes library, it should sync up to the cloud. EVERYTHING means music, music metadata, music artwork etc.
So what is the solution?
What can be the reason all of this?
Someone has the same issue?
Is it a bug?
One more thing
In this album all of my songs has the same artwork (David Guetta: One Love)
Look at the BRAVO hits cover

Try this, it has worked for me.
1. Make a new, empty iTune library by launching iTunes while holding down the Option key.
2. Choose create new library; do NOT have iTunes scan for music.
3. Enable iTunes Match on the empty library.
4. Find the tracks with the wrong artwork, highlight them, Get Info and paste the correct artwork into the "artwork" field.
5. When finished update iTunes Match, then re-launch iTunes while holding down the Option key and chose select library to get back to the "master" library.

Some of the album artwork on my iPod is wrong. I've tried to change it many times but it doesn't change. I've decided that the easiest thing to do now would be to NOT display album artwork on my iPod. How do I set my iPod to NOT display album art?

Some of the album artwork on my iPod is wrong. I've tried to change it many times but it doesn't change. I've decided that the easiest thing to do now would be to NOT display album artwork on my iPod. How do I set my iPod to NOT display album art? I've checked the User manual and that doesn't help.

Why don't you, instead of taking time to do that, just backup, and then restore your iPod?
Just a suggestion..

Itunes 10.6.3 - Just update to the new Itunes and the album artwork is not sticking anymore... I upload the artwork and when I change songs and go back the art is gone. Anyone with similar issue ?

I have this issue. Album artwork was totally fine before. After this update, it is all messed up and even got messed up when transferred to my iphone.
iTunes doesn't have the artwork anymore, but then iPhone has it but shows wrong artwork with wrong albums.
Please fix!

How do you change the album artwork size in the new itunes

I just downloaded the laterst version of itunes, and I can't figure out how to change the size of the album artwork in the grid...I like to be able to see all of my albums at once, so I usually view them in the smallest size, but I can't figure out how to change that.

I've been playing with this and discovered it has to do with your personal ratings (ie stars) for albums and songs - seems iTunes now selects the highest rated album to use for the Artist icon. If you have no ratings it seems (but not always) to select the most recent album/song to use fo rthe display.
I've been able to get iTunes to use specific album artowk by rating both the album and all individual tracks as 5 star. You may need to restart iTunes for the changes to take effect.
But I'd be much happier just telling iTunes which image to use - like we used to be able to do. Yet another step backwards for iTunes 11 (one of many).

How do I stop iTunes changing my album artwork?

I do not want iTunes changing my album artwork. I spend a lot of time getting this right. iTunes 12.01 has started messing with this, substituting new artwork and removing what I put there. How do I stop this happening?

Hi Alan,
I have always kept this option unchecked. I've looked again just now and the option has remained unchecked. For some reason iTunes 'selected' 4 (that I've noticed) out of my 1775 albums and did its automatic update anyway. I guess this is a bug in the latest version, perhaps during the updating process.
I've changed the album art back to what I want and will keep an eye on them. I'll feed back to this thread if iTunes changes the art again.
Thanks for getting back to me,
Phil

Artist name/album artwork won't change on my ipod 4g

After I change the artist names and album artwork on itunes and then press "sync", they should be changed right away on my ipod, right? THEY DO NOT GET CHANGED. does this syncing problem (or a slow reaction prob) only occuring to me? I called the customer service today and they simply told me to restore it. I tried restoring my ipod more than three times because of this. Is there any solution to this? Should I go and get a replacement to apple store? I own a new ipod 4g white with ipos 5.0.1.

i called them again and they told me if I want to change the album artwork + names of the songs that are already in the ipod (under device>music), I have to DELETE those songs. After that, I have to go to library>music and then change the settings there and then ADD THEM BACK to my ipod. I thought it's simply stupid and inconvenient.

Changing song names and adding album artwork

Some of the songs that i imported into itunes by some artists, lets say for example "Less Than Jake" shows up as "less than jake" (uncapitalized) when i go to change the first letter which is an "l" to a capital "L" i successfully change the name in itunes and then when i am done changing ti and click on another song it just goes back to lower case
does anyone know how to fix that so that the names that i fix stay fixed not just go back
Another question that i have is some of my artists albums do not have album artwork and when i right click on the album and say get album artwork nothing happens. And i already registered with itunes store so its not that it wont get the album artwork because i didn't register with itunes. Is there anyway to copy the album picture from the internet and get it associated with that specific album in itunes anyway?
ANY HELP WOULD BE GREATLY APPRECIATED
THANKS IN ADVANCE

Greg,
Are you just typing over the name as it appears in your iTunes library?
I am not familiar with the Windows version, but in the Mac version, the best way to edit song title/artist/genre, etc is to select a song and then "Get Info" - in the Mac version that is under the "File" menu - a right click will probably work for you. There are several tabs on the Get Info screen - go to the "Info" tab and you will see what to do.
As for album artwork, iTunes has been pretty good about finding artwork for for those albums which I purchased from the iTunes store, but was no help at all in finding art for the (many) albums I ripped from my CDs.
You COULD find the album art yourself, using Google 'Images' but I think you will find it to be too tedious, and most of the album cover JPEGs you will find by that method are too small and of poor quality.
It would be better to use a third party application. For Mac users I can recommend Fetch Art (http://members.cox.net/afriesen3//fetchart/index.html); I expect there is something similar for Windows, but I can't be specific.

2. Select the compatibility tab.
3. Set compatibility mode to Windows 7 and click apply.
4. Open iTunes, sign into iTunes store, Turn on iTunes Match, Add your computer.
5. Close Program

Cannot apply artwork/changes manually to albums...

Latest iTunes is set to "automatically get album artwork" but I have a few hundred that it could not find. When I try to apply it manually (right click/select all/get info/double click album artwork) or even change the genre of the album, I get all the changes set, then when I press OK, it does nothing. It doesn't apply the artwork that I put in the box and it doesn't apply any other changes. It just sits there! Any suggestions on how to rectify?
I never had this problem w/ the older version & I've downloaded this newest one twice in an effort to make it work.

I would double check this - the symptom you describe normally has this cause. Apologies if I'm restating what you know to be obvious but just in case....
As well as the Read-Only flag your files may have security permissions that prevent you from making changes. This is most common if your data is on an NTFS drive that has moved from one Windows installation to another. In order to fix them, however, you first have to be able to find them.
*Missing Security Tab in Windows XP*
If you have Windows XP, and your hard drive is formatted as NTFS, you can set permissions on files so that only users you specify can access them. However, if your Windows XP computer is not part of a Domain on a network, you may notice that there is no Security tab when you right-click a file and choose Properties.
To reveal the Security tab follow these steps:
1. Open Windows Explorer, and choose Folder Options from the Tools menu.
2. On the View tab, scroll to the bottom of the Advanced Settings and clear the check box next to "Use Simple File Sharing."
3. Click OK to apply the change, and you should now have a Security tab when viewing the properties of a file or folder on an NTFS volume.
*Fixing Permissions*
Right-click on your top-level iTunes folder, click Properties. On the General tab clear the Read-only box if checked, then switch to the Security tab. Make sure that your own account (or Everyone) and SYSTEM have Full Control. Apply the changes. If for some reason you are not allowed to apply the change you should be able to use your administrator status to take ownership of the folder after which you will be able to modify the security permissions.

Films - Movies not Working or corrupted in iTunes after changing the album artwork

After trying to change the album artwork for some movies I own, I realized that such movie unplayable after such change and I cannot even revert what I have done. More, it seems like if you press on the "get info" section of the movie, you will notice that the artwork tab is gone and therefore, it’s like the movie is corrupted after changing the artwork. Any ideas? Has anyone encountered this before?

Just checked and I have the updated itunes 8.0.1 with the poster frame problem.
I finally found a fix for the movie album artwork problem.
After realizing several movies had the same poster frame as one of the movies. I deleted the movie with the common poster frame which had been copied to other movies. The other poster frames changed on the other movies because they no longer had a reference to the file from which the poster frame was copied. So I copied the deleted movie back into itunes and then got to thinking that perhaps there is something else in common with the movies which displayed the same poster frame. I found that I had set the album field to the same title. So I changed the album field file by file, to something else. Then I set the poster frame after playing a few seconds of the video at a point where I wanted the frame set to the current frame. I got a film icon on the movie icon for a few seconds while it changed it. Sometimes I had to repeat selecting the different poster frames for each movie because it didn't take the first time... the second time I selected a different poster frame it was then set to the first poster frame that I selected. So now the movies which all had the same album "Aviation" now are all changed to "Flight Training" Of course, now the poster frames for those movies are all the same poster frame but at least they are correct for the type of movie.
So if the album name is set to the same thing on several different movies they will all have the same poster frame.

Change album artwork.

I get very annoyed as having a vast collection of songs in i-tunes including cloud, to find that the resolution of the artwork is rubbish for some (not all) albums when viewed. It is even more exaggerated and crap when viewed via Apple TV onto my television.
To attempt a change of the artwork, I have highlighted the desired album with a lower resolution artwork, right clicked and selected "clear downloaded artwork." Having done this, I then slected 'get info' for each track in turn and selecting the artwork tab, delete the album artwork. Having "cleared" all artwork both on album as well as each individual track, I then drop a better resolution album art (160x160) into the album "get info" This appears to work as the higher resolution artwork can be seen in i-tunes. HOWEVER - once i-tunes has been closed down and re-opened the old poor artwork (which appears to be no better than 90x90) is displayed again.
What I can't get my head around is why some albums have higher resolution when others are rubbish and won't display (and retain) the "replaced" higher res artwork despite going through above process!
I have even reverted to delete the album from library and match, then reinstall/burn from the CD. The same result with rubbish resolution for the artwork!
Anybody managed to be able to remove/change and "hold" a replaced (higher res) artwork.
I believe that unless you have bought the album from i-tunes store then "get album artwork" will not work for the selected album, even if it was matched in the cloud! Is this correct?
Just to add further to the problem, when artwork displayed on my i-pad, it may not pick up any artwork at all, despite i-tunes displaying the artwork.

Hi there,
Did you move the entire My Music > iTunes folder? If so this will contain all your album covers etc already...
If you only moved the My Music > iTunes > iTunes Music folder, this folder only contains the music files...

Changing Album Artwork D/L'd from Apple Store

Hi:
Am wondering if there is any way to change the album artwork for downloads from the Apple Store; they seem to be embedded or something. The normal File -> Get Info -> Artwork method to add/delete artwork for a track does not work (original art does not display), and drag/drop of an image file directly to the iTunes art pane does not "stick" either -- although it does show-up: the art always reverts back to the original d/l'd version. Am running iTunes 9.
Any help appreciated...

*Select all songs of the album > right-click > clear downloaded artwork*
If this doesn't work (It usually don't for iTunes purchased files) then try this:
*Select all songs of the album > right-click > get info - select the artwork field (empty) > click OK*
