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.)

  • 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 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 - bizarre iTunes behavior

    Okay - this is bizarre - I imported an album into iTunes 9 (downloaded from the Artist's website).  I added the artwork and changed the genre and number of tracks, but these changes only "stuck" to about 4 of the 19 tracks.  No matter what I did, I couldn't add the artwork to the 15 tracks that needed it.  And - interestingly - if I next/previoused through the tracks on the album, all of the values that I changed would revert to the original values the tracks had when they imported.  It was almost as if iTunes couldn't change the ID3 tags in the mp3 files.  (Well, I guess it really couldn't when it came down to it.)
    I solved the problem by right-clicking all the tracks and selecting "Create MP3 verssion" - essentially duplicating the MP3 files.  I was then able to successfully get my changes to "stick" to the new files.  (And then I deleted the originals I imported.)
    What is this strange strange behavior all about?

    There are three common causes for this:
    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.

  • 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").

  • I am unable to manually add artwork via itunes 12 on windows 7. I've tried all the suggestions to no avail. Has anyone succeeeded on the same platform as me?

    i am unable to manually add artwork via itunes 12 on windows 7. I've tried all the suggestions to no avail. Has anyone succeeded on the same platform as me?

    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)
    If you still cannot add artwork via any of these methods then I would suspect a permissions problem. See Repair security permissions for iTunes for Windows.

  • Can I add more than one movie to the movie page

    I'd like to put up a gallery of movies  but don't know how to do that.  How can I add more than one movie to the movie template page?
    Thanks,
    Gina

    I use the YouTube widget. It has the advantage of not loading clips until one actually selects the clip. When I started I just dragged the quicktime files to the page...not a good idea as it forced a viewer to wait for all of them to load.
    Miro has some options.

  • HT201209 Can I add to my iTunes account using my credit card?

    Can you add to your iTunes account total with a credit card, or is a iTunes card the only way to add money?

    If you add a credit card, it won't count towards the total; instead, it'll be charged after the gift card balance is used up, or when buying gifts.

  • I can't play the downloaded iTunes movie on my newly updated iMac to OS X Maverick. Why not? And How can I get it to work? Thanks.

    I can't play the downloaded iTunes movie on my newly updated iMac to OS X Maverick. Why not? And How can I get it to work? Thanks.

    Do you get any error message?
    What actually happens when you open it?
    What app are you trying to play the files inside? Try iTunes.
    I assume these files have DRM from the iTunes store. The Mac needs to be authorized to play them, open iTunes & select Authorize in the store menu, then sign in with the Apple ID that purchased the files.
    Select the iTem in iTunes & get info on it (from the File menu) & you can see the account name that it belongs to.

  • My sons have shared an iPad but had just one iTunes account. How can we add a second iTunes account?

    My sons have shared an iPad but had just one iTunes account. How can we add a second iTunes account?

    There is no reason to add a second iTunes account to the iPad unless your sons want to use their own credit cards for purchases and somehow I don't think is the case here.
    Anyway.... Settings>Store>Apple ID - tap that ID and sign out. Then tap sign in and tap Create new Apple ID.
    If your sons sync with one iTunes library on a computer, it can get a little confusing with two IDs. If either of them has their own iPod and they have been sharing purchased content with the one Apple ID, it gets a little more complicated as well with two IDs.

  • Have lots of DVD movies, can I add them to iTunes to watch on my apple TV?

    I have lots of DVD movies, can I add them to my Itunes so I can play them on my apple TV? How do I do it?
    Thx

    Sorry, but if you're referring to commercial and hence copy-protected video DVDs, breaking the copy protection, which would be necessary to copy the videos from the DVD and convert them, is illegal in the US (and other countries) and hence Apple explicitly forbids such posts. We're therefore not allowed to discuss it here.   Some DVDs and Blu-Ray movies come with a "digital copy" that allows you to download a copy of the movie from the iTunes Stores. You might see if any of the DVDs you have come with such a feature. Not all digital copies are redeemable in the iTunes Store, and some may have expired.
    If these are home movies that you or someone has burned to DVD and hence are not copy-protected, Handbrake (freeware) is one of the more popular converters. Once converted, you just drag the movie into the iTunes window on your computer.
    Regards.
