Can't add artwork to file

I just finished importing some 80 odd songs in Apple Lossless format. All files have accepted artwork but one. When I highlight it it says "Album Artwork Not Modifiable." Why?

The ownership and permissions on the file in question are probably not right. I would advise locating the file on your hard drive and checking out the ownership and permissions and correcting them so that you have read and write access. If you need more specific instructions, please post a reply.

  • In iTunes 10.4 or 10.5 beta I can't  add artwork

    In iTunes 10.4 or 10.5 beta I can't  add artwork  to ALAC files by pasting or dragging them to the album.
    Please fix this.

    It's a bug with iTunes 10.4.0.80 (and presumably the beta?). If you copy and paste from some web browsers or an image editor then iTunes pastes in a transparent image of the same dimensions. This shows up black in the artwork panel at the bottom left or white in the get info art viewer.
    If you work with an image file stored on your computer you should get better results. Use the artwork box on the Info tab of the Get Info. dialog for multiple tracks to replace all existing images. With a single track you will need to delete the existing corrupt images from the Artwork tab first.

  • Podcast Problem - how can i add artwork to apple blog rss link

    hi,
    i create a wiki blog page on our mac server, on the blog page i add video for podcasting and i enable podcast service on wiki settings. Then i take rss link from safari and i subscribe to itunes but when itunes check my link, there isnt artwork and i cant change the rss link code cause of the link generated automaticly from java. What can i do for this problem or how can i add artwork to apple blog servers rss link ?
    Thank you

    Bonjour,
    The rules are simple: one entry = one page
    if an article needs several pages, start this article on blog entry then continue with a page made with welcome page template or blank page template.
    you can change the link of the buttons "next" and "previous" to visit the pages you choose.
    (select the link > inspector > Link > hyperlink > check enable as a hyperlink > choose "one of my pages" ).
    Don't include these other pages in navigation menu.
    (inspector > Page > Page > uncheck "include page in navigation menu").

  • How can I add an AVI file to iMovie?

    I have iMovie '11. It won't let me add a .AVI file. If I can't add a .AVI file what is the best FREE software to convert it and what should I convert it to? Thanks!

    I agree with the Streamclip suggestion for two reasons.
    The first is that it is free and works well.
    The second is that Streamclip is so essential that if one doesn't have it on one's computer, one is missing a very fascinating piece of software. Free, converts faster than anything Apple uses, and gives you a little window to see the conversion to make sure everything is going ok.

    Can I add a favorites file on my I pad?

    What type of Favorites? 
    In Safari in another browser? 
    On the home screen?
    What exactly is it you want to do?
    You can find the Favorites folder in Safari by tapping the Bookmarks icon and then tapping on Favorites.

  • I can not add a wmv file to the library. It is not protected

    Can not add a video file to Itunes library and even when I try to open the video using "open with Itunes", Itunes start but instead of the video I see the music library

    iTunes cannot play nor convert WMV files. You'll need to use a third-party application to convert the video to a format iTunes can accept.

  • Can't add artwork to iTunes...

    I have been adding art work gradually to my iTunes for the songs I ripped from my CDs. I was doing just fine by highlighting the entire album, right clicking, hitting "Get Info", and just adding the art work. But just recently it has decided that enough is enough, and will not add any more. In the art work box where a plus used to show up when you drag a picture over, now a circle with a slash through it appears. And I have tried this with all sorts of bands so I know it has nothing to do with a certain one. Plus the fact that I don't have any .WAV files on iTunes, so I have no idea what it could be.

    Hi, i have got the same problem...i got the new version of itunes and i was adding artwork to my albums and it worked for the first 5 albums but then itunes stopped saving the artwork to any other songs....i made sure none of the songs were read only, which they were not.....i can put the artwork on the song but it does not save it, if i click off the song it disappears...and if i add artwork to a group of songs if never shows up, like nothing ever happened....i have uninstalled and reinstalled and its the same....any help would be great..thanks

  • 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

    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.)

  • Can't add artwork to new movies

    Until last weekend, I could add artwork and pictures to movie files I was importing to iTunes. Now I can't. I add the artwork in the usual way, and it immediately reverts to showing the thumbnail of the video, and when I check for artwork under 'Get File Info', there's none there.
    Sometimes, this can be rectified by playing the movie in iTunes (or at least skipping to the last 10 seconds, then letting it play out), and sometimes not. I haven't changed the configuration of my computer in the last two weeks.
    I'm using a Macbook, OSX 10.5.8 and iTunes 9.1.1.
    I can't be the only one having this problem.....

    Some video file formats don't take embedded artwork, and iTunes won't attempt to update a file if it can't get write access to it. Read-only flags, security permissions or even Explorer trying to create a preview image might prevent access.
    The artwork cache is divided into two sections, one for art downloaded directly from the iTunes store and not embedded in tags, the other holds a cached copy of anything embedded. Neither has any practical limit other than the capacity of the drive.
    It might be worth downloading the latest build (10.2.2.14) directly from http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/ as the software update tools won't find it. It might not make a difference, but it can't hurt to try.

  • Can't add artwork to album

    I have imported many cd's recently and since installing the latest Leopard update I have had a strange issue appear in iTunes relative to artwork.
    Some albums did not find artwork to download (par for the course), so I went out to Google images or Amazon and downloaded the image, or I scanned it (as a jpg).
    The problem is that I cannot add the artwork to the songs. I am not a novice iTunes user and I have over 50,000 songs in my collection and this is the first time I've had this issue. I have tried the following methods to no avail:
    1. Select all the songs in the album, Get Info and drag jpg image to the little artwork box or double click the box and find the file on my hard drive.
    2. Select a single song, Get Info, click on artwork tab and drag jpg image to the little artwork box or double click the box and find the file on my hard drive.
    3. Repeat steps 1 and 2 with a single track. All 4 of these actually show the artwork, but when I click Ok to save it, it never shows up in Cover Flow or the Now Playing box. When I go back into Get Info, it's gone.
    4. Select a playing track and drag the jpg file to the Now Playing "Drag Album Artwork Here" display box.
    5. Select a playing track, copy the jpg file from a Finder window, right click in the Now Playing "Drag Album Artwork Here" and select paste (this actually does add a blank white box which I can then select and delete in the Get Info window for a single track).
    All of these methods have worked for me in the past (right up until about 11/21), and now not a single method will work. Nov. 28th is the first time I tried this that it did not work. I updated Leopard to 10.5.1 right around that time. I am running iTunes 7.5 (last updated 11/8/7). My iTunes library is on an external disk (has been for two years), but again, this problem just started occurring last week. I ran a verify and it came up clean.
    I could not find a single thread that described this problem (usually people just didn't know how to do it). Has anyone else experienced this?
    Thanks in advance for the help.

    Hallo, I fear this will not help you, but I have the same problem: Can add artwork to music but not to videos. Maybe a problem with metadata:
    I import videos from a tv-recording-program (eyeTV). It works perfectly. When it finishes recording I export the film to iTunes 7.6. When it gets there it is stored under "TV Shows" and has a strange name (f.e.: "Mice hunt, slapstick comedy 1997").
    So I got to the Get Info and correct the name, classify it as comedy and set it to "Movies". Clicking OK it is correctly renamed, classified and displayed under "Movies".
    Then I go again to "Get Info" and want to add an artwork. I can import the artwork and it is displayed in the Cover-window of "Get info". But when I now click OK the new artwork isn´t displayed and all my information that I changed are restored: The Movie is again "Mice hunt, slapstick comedy 1997".
    I have the feeling that it has something to do with the changing of Metadata for videos and with iTunes version 7.6 (in 7.5 everything worked well). So I fear, I´ll have to wait for a bug update.

  • How can I add my own files to the TV Shows Library instead of the Movie Library?

    I have my own TV Shows in m4v format.  I can drag and drop the TV Shows into the iTunes Movie Library.  How can I add my files to the TV Shows Library?  Can I group them by show in the TV Shows Library?

    Select the files in iTunes.
    Right click - get info.
    Select the Options tab and set Media kind to TV Show.
    Better yet, use something like MetaZ to tag the files before adding them to iTunes.

  • Can I add a lossless file to my itunes library?

    Can i add a lossless music file to my itunes library? Usually what i do is drag the file or folder into music/itunes/itunes media/automatically add to itunes and it works fine, everything shows in my library and plays perfectly. But with this lossless file i drag it into the automatically add to itunes folder and it goes into the folder but doesnt show up in itunes. I think i know that itunes doesn't support lossless files, so can somene tell me how to convert them into apple lossless or MP3s (preferably apple lossless). Please help.

    The are a variety of different lossless audio formats, some supported by iTunes, some partially supported and some not at all.
    The best lossless audio format to use from an iTunes point of view is Apple Lossless aka. ALAC. iTunes can import (rip) audio CDs using this format. Other lossless formats supported by iTunes include WAV (partially) and AIFF, however these formats use more disk space than Apple Lossless and do not sound any better, and further more do not support meta-tags as well as Apple Lossless.
    Another lossless format you may hear of is FLAC, iTunes does not support this format but it can be otherwise considered equivalent to Apple Lossless in file size and capability. You can convert FLAC to Apple Lossless with of course no loss of quality but you will need to use another utility to do the conversion.
    There is also WMA Lossless, this is not supported for playing by iTunes but I believe can be imported (only in iTunes for Windows, not Mac).
    So, contrary to your message, yes iTunes does support lossless audio files.
    For what its worth I have all mine in Apple Lossless and share it with Windows Media Player and Microsoft Media Center which can also play Apple Lossless (with an additional free directshow filter).
    Note: Music purchased from the iTunes store will all be in AAC format which is a lossey format.
