Artwork in Itunes

Just uploaded a CD to itunes (David Gilmour, On an Island) and got the track info from CDDB.
Can anyone tell me why the artwork comes up as "Artowrk is not modifiable" in the artwork window (and why I cant add artwork to it).
Artwork (JPG file) ripped from Amazon.com
Thanks

Hey,
Did you by any change import using the WAV Encoder? Artwork cannot be added to music imported using the WAV Encoder.
If you did import using WAV Encoder on purpose because you wanted completely uncompressed audio, I recommend you try using the AIFF and Apple Lossless Encoders.

Problem with artwork in iTunes 7

Since i got iTunes 7 a strange error started in my ipod video 60gb(fully updated):
First, the ipod was not showing any artwork. Then i tried to uncheck the "display artwork" field, and press apply. Then check the field againd, and press apply again. It started to optimize my artwork, but by the middle of the process, this error happened: "The ipod "Flavio" cannot be updated. An unknown error occurred
(-50).". I started searching in the internet what could this error be, and found that it is a communication problem, or something like that, but could be caused by bad (corrupted maybe) pictures, photos or artwork. I erased them all (even all the artwork) and tried the uncheck-check process again, and the same error happened. I read that it could be lack of space in my computer, but right now there are 6.6gb of free space in my c: (is it enough?) and the error still happens.
Today i plugged my ipod on a computer with iTunes 6, tried the uncheck-check process again, and surprise, it worked! Unplugged the ipod, tried playing the only song with artwork remaining, and it worked too! So i came back home and tried again with itunes 7, but the error happened again, tried the song and the artwork wasn't showing again... Ok, so i tried with a laptop, itunes 6, and it worked perfectly again, then i thought "The problem can be happening just on my computer". Updated the laptop itunes, tried unchecking-checking again, and it seemed to work, no errors, but when i played the song on ipod, the artwork was gone again! Just like when the error happened... Tried again, no errors, no artwork, tried back on my computer, error, no artwork.
2 itunes 6 -> worked, 2 itunes 7 -> problems. The only possible conclusion is that there is a bug in this new itunes, or a new way of dealing with artwork (by itunes, not by the users). Am i right? Or can anyone help me?
I was thinking about restoring, but as i am adding everything by hand, nothing automatic, it could take a lot of time to choose everything again, and to make all the playlists again... And after seeing that this could be a bug, and could happen again, i decided to post everything here before restoring, to see if there is a better solution.
Thank you for helping! (or at least for reading this huge post, and sorry for my bad english...)

there is some problem with i tunes 7(the7.0.1 patch also) in that any artwork found by i tunes is visible whilst viewing tracks in your library if you transfer said tracks to your ipod then the artwork is not transferred,also it you use album artwork as your screensaver then artwork found by i tunes is not used. i can only think that something is not beeing written to the id tags of the tracks. any artwork found by yourself and dragged into the relevant box on the track or album information screen(called up by apple+i)is seen on itunes and by the screensaver. i have spoken to apple support and they assured me that they would get back to me as they had to investigate.that was a month ago. if the problem really bugs you then you can drag artwork found by itunes onto your desktop and then back into the tracks id screen. this remedys the problem but is tedious to say the least. hope this helps

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.)

Cannot copy and paste artwork in iTunes

Cannot copy and paste artwork in itunes. Does anyone have suggestions?

First you need to open song info copy from or paste to the artwork box. It won't work with right click, you need to use the short cuts "cmd C" for copy and "cmd V' for paste.

Can't Paste Artwork in iTunes

Ever since I upgraded a month-and-a-half ago (both iTunes and Mavericks), I cannot paste artwork into iTunes files (movies/TV/Music). Everything else works fine, but once I copy a picture into the file it simply doesn't "take". If you reopen the file (Get Info) the artwork tab is blank. Any thoughts?
C.

It is a bug in the new iTunes release.
Paste has problems, but either of the following will work.
(1) Drag-n-drop (rather than copy/paste) the artwork into the box.
Or (2) save the artwork as a file. On the artwork tab, use the Add button and point it to the saved file.

I recently upgraded from an 80 to 160GB Classic but only some of the artwork in iTunes is synching. There was no problem with the old 80Gb classic. any suggestions?

here is an interesting thing: take the iphone and set lock screen to never. Now make an email with siri--be sure to activate her with call button. get to the body and get some text in there. then just stop talking. LOCK SCREEN APPEARS!!!!!! and of course you draft is gone.
There does seem to be a work around for some--maybe all these issues. Don't use the call button--use the buttons on the phone.
Siri seems to behave properly with scenerio above---sans call button. She does not go to lock.

You can only join tracks when importing from a CD and likewise, the Options button is also only visible when importing from CD.
When the CD is in the drive and showing in iTunes, you will see Options, CD Info and Import CD choices. If you select Options, the Join CD Tracks option only appears when you have two or more adjacent tracks selected. See the screenshots below:

Broken link icons appearing instead of artwork in iTunes store

Hi,
For some odd reason, I see "broken link" icons, which look like a chain made up of three links, with the center link broken, instead of music album artwork in iTunes store.
Initially I see the album artwork, but then they begin to get replaced by the odd looking "broken link" icons ! quite strange.... this began happening after I upgraded to OSX 10.5.6, but I am not sure this is the main reason I'm having this issue, I tested some macs at the Apple store, which were running 10.5.6. to access the iTunes store, and this problem did not appear, so it might be something else on my Mac Pro that is causing this odd behavior.
Any other Mac users encountering the "broken link" icon when visiting the iTunes store ? Any clues ? or ways to solve this ? what could be causing this ? Any help/feedback would be appreciated.
Thanks.

Can't Drag Album Artwork into iTunes

For some reason I can no longer drag album artwork into iTunes. If I click on a song or on a group of songs and there is no artwork available, I can no longer drag album art to the "Drag Album Artwork Here" in the bottom left corner. Same goes for when I right click and say "Get Info". It will show a little green plus sign as I drag the picture over the drop area but nothing happens.
I'm running 10.4 and have made sure that I have read and write privledges to all of the specified folders.
Anyone have any other ideas?

Where are you dragging the images from? It might just be that particular site, if you're using the same location time and time again. I use Amazon music when looking for album art for iTunes and generally have good luck with it.
Are you trying to drag artwork for songs that already have artwork associated with them? Sometimes you might want to clear the downloaded artwork for those tracks and then drag in the new image. I've run into this in cases where I've downloaded a single track from iTunes but then used something else to complete the album.
Beyond those suggestions, you might want to try re-creating your iTunes Library, per the steps in this document. Note that some data may be lost, such as play counts and date added.

How do i enlarge album artwork in iTunes 11

How do I enlarge album artwork in iTunes 11?

gimmetime wrote:
No, I'm asking about the thumbnails that show the entire library. Before upgrading to 11 I was able to enlarge the artwork and also change the background color from white to black.
OK, you are referring to the thumbnails when displaying your library in "Albums" view. TBOMK, they cannot be adjusted. (Or at least in iTunes 11.2.2 on Windows, there does not seem to be a way, which does seem a bit strange.)
If you would like to provide feedback to Apple, use this link:

Creating Artwork for ITunes Albums

I have a lot of original music on my iPod and have made "Album Artwork" for a lot of them, but what is the optimal size for the graphics?
If I try to make it smaller for the window at the bottom of iTunes, then it gets grainy and distorted when it's expanded for the "shelf" artwork.
If I make it large to match the size of the "shelf" graphic, then it's distorted when it displays at the smaller size elsewhere.
What's the best size to create the graphics, and is 72 dpi the proper resoltuon for best results at both sizes?
Thanks!

How do I download album artwork from iTunes on my Mac to my iPod touch?

I have album artwork in iTunes on my desktop Mac. I want to have that artwork with my albums and songs on my iPod Touch? I don't see an obvious way to move or synch the artwork, except possibly replacing all music on my iPod with what is in iTunes. I don't want to do that because I synch with my office and home computers and the music is not identical on the two computers.

Thanks for your help, but I already have the album artwork on my desktop Mac (connected with its appropriate album). When I synch my iPod (or simply copy the new album to my iPod), the artwork does not show up. I could choose Synch Music, but that would then I get this message: "All existing content on the iPod will be removed and replaced with songs and playlists from your iTunes library." This would cause me to lose music place on my iPod from my home computer, which I don't want to do.

HT1386 i have noticed that the album artwork on itunes in my phone is missing when you open the "album" section of itunes installed on my phone. how can i get my album artwork to show up in the album section

i have noticed that the album artwork on itunes installed on my phone is missing some of the album artwork when i go to the "album" section of itunes in my phone. How can i get the album artwork to show up

first of all, no one is going to respond to this becuase limewire is used basically in your situation illegally. But let's say you import a cd, left click on the songs you imported and hit get album artwork, if nothing comes up, the album sn't in the itunes database, get it online. And I suggest never to mention limewire and music files on the same post here, since limewire is a file sharing program. Use Itunes, it's easier. theo

Artwork in itunes and seeing it on an Apple TV

Hello everyone. I recently purchased my first Mac, a Mini and have also purchased an Apple TV to stream movies, photos and music to our family room.
I've been able to get artwork inserted into the music side of itunes but when I try and associate artwork with a movie, it never shows up on the Apple TV. It acts like it takes it in iTunes. Sometimes it does and other times it doesn't. But when it shows up in iTunes, I still don't see it on the Apple TV.
Can someone help me understand why it wouldn't show up when it's being streamed to an Apple TV? Or why it doesn't always shosw up in the iTunes movie section? I'm not sure if I need to keep a folder of artwork somewhere or how I should do it. With the music side of iTunes, I just copy the artwork from Amazon.com and paste it in when the song is playing and it works. With a movie, I've pasted it into the Artwork box and usually it doesn't stick. if I put the artwork in a folder and insert it that way, it seems to stick around, but neither allow it to stream to the Apple TV.
I'm lost on this one. Thanks for your help.

After adding artwork, exiting iTunes, starting iTunes and syncing again, some of my videos now have artwork showing up with them. A couple, however, still don't.
Do artwork files need to be in a specific format like JPG or GIF to work with iTunes? I'm taking them right off of Amazon, so I'm surprised they didn't work. The problem is on my Cars and Madagascar videos and our Penguin Christmas Capar video. All three have the artwork showing up on iTunes on the computer but it never makes it to the Apple TV.
Thanks for the help.

Artwork in Itunes: I still don't get it - please help me peach!

The response and the links provided by 'wrongway peachfuzz' instruct me to change artwork in itunes using 'get info' and artwork appears correctly when I follow instructions. But when I subscribe from another mac, the artwork does not appear.
I have read the response often sent by 'wrongway peachfuzz' at least dozen times. His instructions don't even require me to log in. If changing it in 'get info' would work, couldn't spammers change the artwork on every podcast to a picture of george bush or some ad for refinancing?
Subscribers won't 'get info' to see the correct artwork. I want subscribers to be able to see my artwork in their 'album' view or their 'cover flow' view.
Thanks for your previous responses, but I need more help!

Hey, sorry to leave ya hangin', but it was a long weekend . . .
Anyway -
I think I see your point of confusion here: you were trying to change the artwork from your page in the iTunes Store, correct? (Hence: . . .+instructions don't even require me to log in+. . .) My friend, this is not done from your iTunes Store listing, okay? The steps that I have laid out in previous posts are done way before your podcast ever shows up in the store.
Let's walk through it step by step:
1. You record a podcast onto your computer.
2. You edit the audio for speaking errors, format the bit rate, etc.
}}}}Right now, your podcast is just a file, sitting on your computer. It hasn't hit the web yet, and you *have not* updated your XML file.{{{{
3. You take the file that is sitting on your hard drive, and drag it into iTunes.
4. You follow the steps for changing artwork that I have given previously.
5. You upload your podcast file to a server where people can download it.
6. You update your podcast feed/XML.
See, the thing is, *no one* can change the files from the Store. That is how no spammers are able to access anything. The changes are made to the file before you upload it. And thus, when people download your file, they are getting your podcast and +the artwork that you attached to your podcast+.
Hope this clears things up for you -- let me know if it doesn't.
Peach
P.S. Peach is not a "he."
