Big album art inaccessible itunes 11 windows

when i play a song and click on small album art to view it bigger ,but recently i can get to see it... i can see two itunes windows tabbed in the task bar as before... yet m unable to switch to the album art(big) player
Edit: i Found a way to it, so now its solved....

If you mean cover flow, it's been removed. By selecting "Albums" across the top, this is the new look. The only time that you can change a look is if you have built a playlist, then click the "View" Icon in the top right corner of the playlist. It will give you three options. Cover flow is not one of them.

  • How do you add album art in iTunes 12? everything I've tried doesn't work

    how do you add album art in iTunes 12?

    Two methods:
    Right-click on the album, select Get Album Artwork.  iTunes will determine whether this album is available from the iTunes Store and, if so, download the artwork image from the Store and associate it with the media files.
    Right-click on the album, select 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 (there's a bug in iTunes 12.0.1.26 such that right-click > paste does not work here
    For the second method, you can also access the "old style" editor window from iTunes 11 by holding down Shift as you right-click > Get Info.
    Lastly, 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 do I Replace album art in ITunes 12

    How do I replace album art in ITunes 12. Before the upgrade I was able to delete and paste a new one in get info. No can do now!

    The new iTunes 12 Get Info dialog lacks right-click context menus (at least for now) but it still accepts most standard keyboard shortcuts and drag & drop actions.
    Delete Artwork
    On the artwork tab of Get Into, tap the image in question, use Backspace or Ctrl+X. Delete doesn't work.
    Or, tap the image at the top left of Get Info, this time use Backspace or Delete, it is Ctrl+X that doesn't work.
    Add Artwork
    Select artwork, press Ctrl+C to copy, tap the centre of the Artwork tab, press Ctrl+V to paste.
    Or, select artwork, press Ctrl+C to copy, tap the small image area at the top left, press Ctrl+V to paste.
    Or, you can drag & drop to, or sometimes from, the same locations.
    You can also copy artwork from the Get Info dialog to Windows Explorer with the keyboard shortcuts.
    If the source image is on a web page right-click and use Copy Image rather than copy. (With Chrome I get a one pixel wraparound so tend to go for a temporary local copy anyway - not sure whose bug this is, but it isn't new.)
    If you have multiple images embedded drag the one you want to be the primary artwork to the leftmost position.
    Replace/Remove All Artwork
    The top left image box can be used to add or delete art from multiple tracks. In either case all existing artwork in all tracks is replaced/removed.
    Old Style Get Info Dialog
    Select some items, right-click, hold down shift, then click Get Info from the context menu. (Use alt/option on a Mac)

  • Extract Album art from iTunes?

    is it possible to extract and backup the album art in iTunes?
    I have a lot that I have had to put in manually and I would like to be able to save it..
    Also it looks like some tracks in some albums, for some reason, never had art loaded to the, although the rest of the album is fine. I need to extract the art from one track on theses albums and put it back in the track with missing artwork

    Ok, thanks
    Finally managed to work out where and how to copy the artwork. Since there was no right click option when selecting artwork in an albums Get Info page, I did not think about using CMD C or CMD V. It wont copy from Album Get Info, but will from the individual tracks
    I see you can also copy/paste using the Edit drop down in the menu bar, but for me that is a pain as I have three screens and I had been working with the iTunes Windows in the third screen....the first screen being the primary screen with the menu bar. Bloody stupid having only one menu bar when you have multiple screens.
    Thanks for your help

  • Displaying ipod album art in itunes

    I have a question about the iPod's display of album art in iTunes when it is plugged into my computer. I had been getting really frustrated for the better part of the evening after adding a bunch of album art to my music, updating it on the iPod (I do manual update so I dragged the songs onto the iPod after adding the art), and then clicking on them in the iPod's library in iTunes only to see that there was no album art there. What gives?
    However, I realized that I was getting annoyed for no reason when I checked it out in the iPod itself, after I disconnected it. All of the album art is there.
    So here is the strange behavior I have observed this evening: if I had to go out on the internet and find cover art myself, and add it manually to the files in iTunes, it displays in the iPod's library in iTunes. If iTunes helpfully went out and found the cover art for me automatically, it does NOT display in the iPod library in iTunes (although it is actually there when you go to play the music on the disconnected iPod). I went through the iPod's library in iTunes and this is consistently what is happening.
    Obviously this isn't a life-or-death kind of situation, but I was wondering if anyone else has noticed this behavior or knows why this happening. For what it's worth, my entire iTunes library is on an external hard drive, and all of my music is on there in the same place. Do you think iTunes is storing the art in separate places depending on whether I added it or it found it on its own? Would this even matter? I am very curious about this. Thanks for any insight anyone has for me.

    when i play the music on the iPod the albums show up
    no problem... but when the iPod is connected to
    iTunes, and i'm browsing my ipod via itunes, only
    some album art shows up...
    IE: beck guero, has album art in the itunes library,
    it also has the art on the ipod if i play it with the
    ipod disconnected from my mac. it DOES NOT show album
    art when connected to itunes and view the ipod within
    itunes...
    whats the deal? some albums are just fine, but the
    vast majority of them dont display the art while in
    itunes... again, if i disconnect the ipod and view
    them on the ipod, there is no problem all albums
    display.
    any help is appreciated.
    Just so you know, you're not going crazy and you're not the only one that's seeing this. I'm seeing the same behavior with a 30GB 5G iPod and iTunes7 under Windows XP.

  • The control click and external mouse right click no longer works when copying and pasting album art within itunes. Ex. Hit get info for one song to paste to the rest, copying the artwork wont work when it used to.

  • Update embedded Album Art from iTunes Store?

    Missing Album Art is automatically added to my iTunes library. Excellent!
    But I have a large number of albums/songs with embedded album art of low quality (200x200). Is there a way to update these without having to manually delete the old Album Art for each song individually?
    Is there a way to embed the album art from iTunes into the mp3-files instead of storing them externally (in the iTunes Album Art directory?) Probably not........

    Is there a way to update these without having to manually delete the old Album Art for each song individually?
    Well, you don't have to do it individually -- you can select all the songs for which you want to delete, right-click and select "Get Info", then check the Artwork box, then click OK. This will delete all the artwork for those songs (permanently!)
    Is there a way to embed the album art from iTunes into the mp3-files instead of storing them externally (in the iTunes Album Art directory?)
    I have a script to do just that. You have to download it first (say, to your Desktop)
    http://teridon.googlepages.com/itunesinsertartwork.vbs
    Then you have to run it using the Command Prompt:
    1) Bring up a command prompt (Start..All Programs..Accessories..Command Prompt)
    2) Enter these commands:<pre>cd Desktop
    cscript itunesinsertartwork.vbs</pre>
    3) Select the playlist (or select the whole Library with "1") which contains the songs for which you want to embed the artwork.
    NOTE:Embedding artwork will cause your files to take up more hard drive space because for downloaded artwork iTunes only needs one copy. Embedding the artwork makes a copy of the artwork for every song with that artwork. Artwork files from the iTMS are typically 400-500 KB each.

  • IPhone album art from iTunes not downloading

    Recently, I have not been able to get my album art from iTunes to download to my phone. It appears in my iTunes on my computer, but will not transfer. It also will not appear on my phone when I purchase the music FROM my phone, but appears in my computer's iTunes. I've reset my phone, but the problem continues. This problem has only been happening for about the last two months and I've had my phone over a year. (iPhone 4, Verizon)

    the album covers are fine on itunes on my computer, but on my iphone they don't work. as in, when I sync my iphone to itunes, it switches the covers around to different covers. it seems to be random.

  • Blurry album art with iTunes 11

    So i got very blurry album art with iTunes 11. It seems to scale album art wrongly with my screens resolution, which is 1920x1080.
    When i make iTunes smaller the album art is fine and not blurry.
    I didn't have this problem with 10.7 as it had the slider for customizing album art size.
    So what can I do to change this?

    What is the competition you're referring to?
    I use itunes as a database and a jukebox.I embedded thousands of jpegs into my HUGE itunes library so that while I'm playing a music file I can see who's playing what.In the earlier version of itunes I could have all the information as well as all the music in one place on one external hard drive.
    The ability to expand front and back lp covers or scroll thru the entire cd booklet is a great feature that iTunes has now eliminated. My project using itunes was to completely digitize my music collection-all the music files and all the lp covers/cd booklets etc. I have spent the last five years at least working on this.Luckily I have all my jpegs in a separate folder outside of itunes so my endless scanning has not been totally in vain.I know better than to put all my eggs in one basket...
    Please tell me what program or software can do what iTunes used to do and I will gladly use it.
    Or if apple would offer the earlier versions of iTunes(with the eliminated features) for power users like me that might be better than nothing.
    Eventually when I get a new mac I will be forced to use the current version of itunes,I won't have a choice....
    Maybe by then, the competion will come up with what I'm looking for... thanks for reading.

  • Getting album art from itunes library to ipod WITHOUT re-syncing?

    Okay, so...I've got album art for almost everything in my libraries thanks to the "get album artwork" feature and some lengthy searching and pasting on my part...but it appears as though there's no easy way to get all the artwork from the songs in my itunes library onto the same songs on my ipod--without syncing, that is.
    That is a huge pain in the ***, and something I really don't want to do. I have a bunch of stuff on my ipod that I don't want to put in my main library (I have two computers that have different things in each of the libraries) and that I don't want to lose, which I would if I did a "sync."
    I have about 25 gb of stuff, which would mean that even if I did want to add it back into my main library, it would take a **** of a long time to figure out exactly what I'm missing, move it over and then do the sync.
    I realize that this is probably related to the idea that if you have stuff on your ipod that isn't in your library you probably ripped it off. BUT...this seems to be a pretty big flaw. Not hugely important, but annoying all the same.
    Why isn't there an easy way just to sync up album art directly onto an ipod (vs. the itunes library) without stripping every song off my ipod first?
    Any ideas/programs that people know of that can get around this issue?

    This is really frustrating... I can't believe that now all my album art (and I mean ALL of them) doesn't show in mi iPod anymore...
    What I did was uncheck the show art combo box, de-sync the iPod and then re-sync, then check the box again and then de-sync... It didn't work.
    Is not use. I guess I'm gonna go back to my old iTunes 6, it worked better than this odd version.
    As I said before, I think the look doesn't matter, it can have stars intead of circles and it can have whatever you want, but what I want is something that -WORKS- even if it looks like Windows 3.1...
    Ok I'm out I'm gonna post if the old version fixed this...

  • Adding Album Art to iTunes Local Folder?

    I have a setup on iTunes on my Dell Dimension Desktop Machine. Basically I have uploaded ALL my CD collection to HDD in WAV format to retain sound quality.
    My problem is with getting all the Album Art to work.
    About one third of my collection iTunes does not have the Album Art? so I have scanned it all manually and placed an Folder.jpg in each Album/Track Folder.
    I appreciate that WAV music files don't have a means of adding extra data to them like MP3 files, therefore, iTunes saves its own downloaded Album Art in a folder called "Download", there is also another Folder called "Local" which is where your manually added Album Art should go?
    These are stored as .itc files
    However then I try to manually try to add my own album art to the album, by selecting all tracks, Get info, Add album art to the white square and pressing OK nothing happens?
    In the Artwork display box it say in large text "Artwork Not Modifiable"? for some reason?
    Any ideas??

    Hi Andrew. As far as plug&play, I have not found anything. My best bet was to use a proper utility to grab album art on a go forward basis for all new tracks, and then for the old tracks that have the incorrect metadata, I slowly go through, open up a browser with amazon.com loaded, and then search for the albums/related art that I need. Once I find it I click on the album art in the main browser, which spawns a child window with just the jpeg of the album art in it, and then drag and drop it from that browser into the album art pane. Far from plug and play, but it gets the job done.

  • Small and big album art not matching

    I bought an 5G iPod only ten days or so ago, and I have recently finished to transfer all my song database.
    I'm seeing something strange happens with the album art. Sometimes I take a look on the screen, and it correctly displays the song info: artist, album, song title and also the small album pic are OK. But when I push the central button to see the enlarged album art, sometimes the album picture I see belongs to a different artist or album that I also have in my library. It also happens the other way around, i.e, if I display the big album pic and then I switch to the artist/title screen.
    Does anyone know how can I fix this and why does it happen?
    Thanks in advance
    Edit: I have just seen that sometimes the work art displayed is plain wrong in both small and big sizes. I have checked on ITunes and the album art is looks fine there, though. Is it possible that something went wrong during my last iPod-iTunes sync?

    yeah mine too, and i've tried re-setting it, and wiping it and re-sync ing etc,
    still seems to do the same, and is generally rally annoying seeing how it is such a relatively useless feature, it would be nice if it at least worked...!
    any ideas..?

  • Album art in itunes but not on ipod

    Just updated to itunes 9.0.2 and when i tryed to sync my ipod itunes stopped responding so I killed it and ejected my ipod through windows. This seems to have damaged the music database because my ipod still had all the files on it but couldn't detect any of them. The next time i pluged my ipod in itunes reset it and copied all my media back onto my it. It now works fine except that no album art has been copied for music or movies. How do I get this working properly?!?!?!?

    The next time i pluged my ipod in itunes reset it and copied all my media back onto my it.
    Not sure what that means.
    Have you tried restoring the iPod?
