Album artworks from the itunes store, can I change them?

Many times when I have updated my ipod it will download an image to itunes however the next time it will be different, i.e. sometimes it will download the single cover to a title that has the same name as the album but you really want the album cover, is there anyway you can choose which image will be used and where it is from.
I know I can change the artwork if I have the image on my computer, but I shouldn't have to do that. I should be able to pick which artwork I want if it comes back with more then one. Can any one help?

If your album covers are actually changing then I wonder if you're occasionaly using Windows Media Player with it's "Automatically retrive media information" option selected. iTunes & WMP could be matching different entries. WMP has long supported multiple album versions and a method for picking between them but, as far as I'm aware, iTunes only ever makes one suggestion. You could always pop a feature request into iTunes Feedback.

I just downloaded two rental movies from the iTunes store, proceeded to sync them to my iPad, and now I can't find where they landed. Anybody know where to access rental movies on the iPad? thanks

And just in case .... You don't actually sync rental movies to the iPad....
To transfer a rented movie from iTunes, use the movies pane in iTunes. Rented movies transfer is at the top. You must have an Internet connection to transfer a rented movie. Select the "move" arrow in the direction you wish to transfer, and click the apply button at the bottom right. Rented movies can only exist on one device at a time, they do not sync like other video, but move from iTunes to the iPad.

How Long Does it Normally Take to Update Album Artwork in the iTunes Store?

My apologies in advance, I know this has probably been asked before, but I'm having trouble finding it.
This is my first attempt at setting up a podcast in the iTunes Store. I think I have everything set up correctly, but I made a mistake on the album artwork - I created a PNG file with transparency, which appears as black. I have replaced the PNG file with a JPEG file with a different name (as suggested by the Apple instructions), and updated the RSS XML file to reflect that new file name. I also had a typo in the description, which I was using the <description> tag for. I corrected the typo in the <description> tag, and also added an <itunes:summary> tag with the same info.
I've waited for a few hours with no updates appearing. Is there a way to force the update, or do I just need to wait? I've verified that the raw RSS feed is updated correctly from the site.

Thanks for the quick reply, Roger!
I can wait. Managing expectations is the main thing. And learning not to make the same mistake again!
Hope you have a happy holiday season.

I purchased an album today from the itunes store but it's not letting me play it? It's saying that my computer is not authorized to play the songs even though my computer is already authorized....help!

I've tried deauthorizing and reauthorizing my computer, exiting and reentering itunes, restarting my computer...nothing is working! I don't know what else to do

Delete the Album including files from your iTunes, then go to the iTunes Store and select "Purchased" from the Quick Links side bar on the right. Go through Music tabs to download again for free

There is a few events where I could see this happening...
It's possible if you computer is not authorized with your iTunes Store account it may not have transfered your purchases from the iPad to the computer. To check, Open iTunes> Select the "Store" menu along top of the program and select Authorize this computer. Sign in with your AppleID and password, this will make sure your computer is authorized for the future so you can transfer purchases from your device.

However, if your Movies are missing now you'll need to request to redownload or "regrant" them. Please send an email ticket into iTunes Store via...
http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/
Select "Video Purchases" in the grey boxes, then "Lost or Missing Items", then click the link to "Email Us" on the right. Fill out that form and the folks at the iTunes Store should get back to you less than 24 hours.

I just got another computer and would like to know how do I retreive my purchases from the ITune store to my music library

I just got another PC and would like to know if the music I purchased from the ITune store can retrived to my new PC?

Copy them from the old computer to the new computer, specifically the entire iTunes folder.

Why am I missing artwork only and exactly for the albums I downloaded from the iTunes Store when I then sync them from PC (non-Mac) to my iPhone??

And why can I not find a way to post this message to Apple Support without paying 35 Euros?

Thanks, randers4,
I don't do auto-sync. Too much music on my PC for that. I manually copy and/or delete.
And I did delete the iTunes-acquired albums from the phone and then copied them back on:
No change...

I've always wanted to obtain and have perfect resolutioned cover art for my albums. I have been and downloaded albums from the iTunes store, and they come with really great cover art. How can I get cover art as precise and clean as the albums have on ther

My problem mainly concerns cover art.
There have been times when I downloaded albums from the iTunes store to find its cover art it is absolutely beautiful, and is absolutely 100% un stretched. Whereas when I have gotten images for a specific album from Google Images it's terribly pixelated and totally disgusting.
Is there a way for me to obtain cover art for my albums that is has clarity equal to the cover art on the iTunes store albums.
Or will it basically boil down to I can only get that cover art by downloading my albums off the store?

The old iTunes libraries do not restore any playlists or song counts.
They should you if you do the roll back properly... Opening files from the Previous iTunes Libraries folder in Windows Explorer simply opens the current library. If you don't see the .itl file extension then don't give your copied and renamed file the extention or iTunes will create an empty library rather than using the renamed file.
If you had a complete pre-problem backup of your library you could restore that. On the assumption that isn't possible I have a script called ExportImport that could in principle be adjusted to save the relevant data from a backup of the library database and then reimport that data into the current library. See this thread for details.

I don't own an Apple device, but I have purchased an audio album from the iTunes store. How can I play this on my android phone, as I am unable to burn the album to mp3 format? Can I obtain a refund if this is not possible? Thanks

p.s. I am not knowledgeable of Apple/iTunes etc, I was under the impression that if I purchased an album then I can use my purchase on a non-Apple device

Micky,
The iTunes Store sells songs in AAC format. Most Android phones can play AACs. Just sync them to your phone per the instructions with the phone.
If by any chance your phone does require MP3 format, you can use iTunes to convert the files, per this guide:
iTunes: How to convert a song to a different file format - Apple Support
(This conversion does not require burning.)
For future reference, note that the iTunes Store is really optimized for people using Apple devices. You might find it more convenient to buy music in Mp3 format from Amazon Digital Music or Google Play Music.

I purchased an album from the itunes store on my ipad2 thinking i could retrieve it from my windows pc. I have turned on home sharing and can see my pc library from the ipad but not vice-versa. Is there any way to transfer the album from my ipad library?

I purchased an album from the itunes store on my Ipad2 thinking i could access it from my windows laptop where I sync my ipod. I turned on Home Sharing and can see my laptop libraries from my ipad but not vice versa. Is there any way to fix this so I can transfer the album to the itunes on my laptop?

Yes I tried that. I finally turned off all home sharing settings, shut down my desktop and found them in my account settings in the store on the cloud. So at that point I just had it download everything. But I suspect that with the ipad somehow being on, the store was saying I had already received them? Regardless, my trip today whilst running errands, I was rocking out to vintage Police music! Thank you so much for responding.

I am trying to purchase albums from the iTunes store and all the website says is that the price has changed. Why can't I just use a gift card/myaccount?

Just got an iPod Touch and some of the artwork doesn't show up on my iPod. It seems that a lot of them are from the iTunes store. What should I do?

.

A lot of what are from the iTunes Store?
Your post doesn't make much sense really. Where did you get the songs from?
If you purchased them from the iTunes Store, then the artwork should have come with the song when you downloaded it.
But since you have not specifically stated that you have purchased from the Store, my question is have you downloaded songs from a different store or from yet another source? If so, did that source undertake to provide artwork?
Have you imported these songs from your own CDs?
MP3 files from other sources, such as (legally obtained) downloads from artist websites etc. do not always have artwork imbedded in them.
Amazon MP3 songs do have the artwork embedded. I assume other MP3 stores also provide the artwork. But then, assumptions are not always correct.
Songs that you import from your CDs do not have the artwork embedded in the CD version. The artwork is obtained for you by iTunes - if you have the setting turned on (see in iTunes, Edit/Preferences/General>>When you import a CD>>automatically download missing artwork) In this situation, if artwork is not supplied, it may be because iTunes doesn't have (legal) access to that artwork. In other words, they don't sell the album, so are unable to supply the artwork. In that case, a simple Google of the album should find the artwork which you can then copy into the album in iTunes.
As a last resort, I use my printer's in-built scanner to scan my CD cover and then paste that into the album's artwork box.
If I haven't answered your question, it's because you haven't supplied enough information.

ITunes update corrupted some of my music files so iTunes can't find the file, nor music I bought from the iTunes store.

After an iTunes generated update of iTunes, some of my music can't be accesed any more. When I try to play the file, iTunes says it can't find the link. This also happens with music I purchase from the iTunes store, so I've lost all this music; do I have to re-buy the purchased music again? My iTunes program is on my C drive, and the music library is on my D drive. In iTunes, I've set the ripped music to be placed in my D drive. The lost links are on some music files, but not others which do play music. Some compilation music files were split up into individual files, usually without LP art attached. Some album art was placed on wrong albums as well. Music with lost links have a ! mark beside the song name. File info says the link is on my C drive, but I can't find it there. Any ideas on how to get these lost files back. Thanks, Moizy.

Try this...
Empty/corrupt library after upgrade/crash
Hopefully it's not been too long since you last upgraded iTunes, in fact if you get an empty/incomplete library immediately after upgrading then with the following steps you shouldn't lose a thing or need to do any further housekeeping. In the Previous iTunes Libraries folder should be a number of dated iTunes Library files. Take the most recent of these and copy it into the iTunes folder. Rename iTunes Library.itl as iTunes Library (Corrupt).itl and then rename the restored file as iTunes Library.itl. Start iTunes. Should all be good, bar any recent additions to or deletions from your library.
See iTunes Folder Watch for a tool to catch up with any changes since the backup file was created.
When you get it all working make a backup!

Why can I not download from the iTunes Store??

I bought an album from the iTunes Store via my iPhone 5 and despite the fact that I have a strong 4G signal, it is telling me that one track is going to take over 42 minutes to download! I checked the speed on Speed Test and it showed 32mbps download and 10mbps upload. EE told me that as nothing else is affected (I can connect to other apps such as You Tube and Safari fine) then it must be a fault with my iPhone or iTunes. They also mentioned that there was a known issue with update 6.1.3 where the handset showed an LTE signal when there was actually none. Anyone aware of this?

Try logging out of your account on the iPad by tapping on your id in Settings > Store and then log back in and see if it then works.
