Can't cut/paste album art

For some time now I have been adding/changing album cover art by cut/paste from an internet image search and then using "Get Info" to add the art. Now suddenly I can't. I can't get the Paste function to add the art. Has something changed in the last 2 days? Win7 x64, Pro.

I, also, use Chrome. I tried saving the image (.jpg) to my desktop and doing my copy/paste from there with no luck. My audio files are .mp3. All the blank album images I've tried all refuse to  accept the paste. I've been having no problems with this update until recently.
Clue 1: I had a problem trying to edit the info on an album because the screen was grayed-out. It turned out to be a user permission problem. When I reset I could revise but I could also cut/paste an image...this album only.
Clue 2: I just tried copying a download directly in iTunes master music file before I added it into iTunes. It came in clean and afterwards I could cut/paste an image...this album only.

  • Why can't i directly cut and paste album art

    The older I-Tunes was able to cut directly and paste album art pictures, (when the find album album art auto feature failed) I now have to save album images to my hard drive,' Apart from the new coloured (I spell Colored with a "U" as I'm British)  icon Red instead of blue the rest of it is just the same 

    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 center 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)
    The new icon is the least of the changes.

  • Why can't I copy/paste album art in latest version of iTunes?

    I have the latest version of iTunes and I am unable to copy/paste album art from the internet.  Whenever I try to copy/paste album art from Amazon, it just displays a blank box.  I was able to copy/paste album art just fine before the last iTunes update.  Any suggestions?

    Artwork seems to cut/paste in my situation, but does not "attach" to the file so the icons appear as generic in a list view or when viewing the file using "get info".  Also noticed that cut and paste does not work for text in the comments window either, especially if the copied text contains style changes (underlines, etc.) or hyperlinks.
    Also, if importing AIFF files into iTunes, the song that plays upon import (usually the highest numbered track) will not accept artwork no matter what, unless you convert to another file type (like AAC).  The only workaround is to make a copy of the last song, rename it with a higher track number, then import both at the same time.  Then just delete the higher numbered track.  This has been an on again/off again problem for at least the last 3-4 versions of iTunes.

  • In iMovie 11, how can you cut/paste a clip that has subtitles and actually have the subtitles get cut/pasted. When I try, the subtitles disappear into the void and I have to do the subtitling all over again.

  • Can't Cut & Paste In JavaScript Editor Window

    Can anyone help? Can't cut & paste inside JavaScript Editor Window.
    I'm using Windows XP Home Edition & Adobe Acrobat 8 Pro

    I've had this happen sometimes while having a JavaScript console window open. IT happens after I've had the console open and switched to another application. Then when I switch back to Acrobat, the console is unresponsive. The solution I found was to close the console and open it up again from the menu. Then it's back to working as expected.

  • Can't share downloaded album art

    I have a Powerbook G4 17" & Mac Mini Intel Core Solo on a LAN. I use the mini to play music and such in the den. When I connect to my Powerbook's shared music library the music plays fine, but the album art that iTunes downloads automatically doesn't appear in the display box. The new album art displays fine on my Powerbook and my iPod, and the album art I put in myself prior to iTunes 7 appears just fine. But iTunes' own art won't show up on the mini. Of course, it won't show up on Front Row either. How can I share iTunes' album art on my mini?

    I've had no problem displaying artwork over a network before iTunes 7. Actually, iTunes 7 still displays album art from by network, but the artwork that iTunes downloads automatically doesn't show up. But the artwork that I've attached myself does transfer over the network.
    I have the mac mini hooked up to an HD TV, so I love iTunes hi-res album art on it vs. the low-res stuff I can find on the internet. I'd just love to use iTunes built-in album art feature from now on instead of hunting for hi-res art on my own. Anybody have any luck displaying art downloaded from iTunes across a network?

  • 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.

  • Can I cut/paste data files?

    Can I cut/paste data files?

    Yes you can. You can email a PDF file. You can use iOS file sharing to transfer PDF files. There are PDF apps in the App Store that you can save the files into. iBooks works with PDF files, but it pales in comparison to most of the other PDF apps.
    Adobe Reader has a very nice PDF app. Save2 PDF, PDF Forms, PDF Master and many other PDF apps are a available. One app that is highly recommended for PDF file is called GoodReader. You can check all of these apps out in the App Store.

  • Why does my ITunes now get stuck when it can't find the album art?

    I've noticed since yesterday when I bought my new IPod Touch my ITunes on my computer gets stuck when it can't find the album art for some music I have. It gets to that album and won't do anything, won't let me skip it or anything ... Anyone else having similar issues and if so any workaround?

    Hi joanhello,
    I understand that you are seeing an issue with iTunes fetching information about CDs you are importing. Here is an article for you that explains how to troubleshoot this issue:

  • Oh, Is it? i can't never add album art in my mp3 files without------

    Okay let's see i write again cuz my title was abscence some
    of words though, ur, my problem? duh~! , this creature
    problem is ,urm, in my case, I think NOW ITUNES programmed
    cannot able to add any album title which things by
    ITUNES Store and Even my computer storage, i've been
    so many times tried put the other album of mp3 files.
    It werent worked. Well, the purpose of preventing copying
    from illegal sound files is till good. BUT The matter isnt
    this. SO What should we have to do ,what if we creat
    album art ourselves? then what? IT isnt illegal ,dont I?
    We have right to free of adding a album art by ourselves
    AM I RIGHT?
    Im rewrriting my point below if my words are lame i guess.
    -O Is it? I can't never add Album Art in my IPOD(fifth Ed.)
    without registered in Itunes store?
    If it isnt so, Tell me more specific techical solution!
    I've been also stick around all the threads, hard to find
    the correct answer what im struggling with....
    Or Plz bring a new edition of 'Itunes' program to us as
    light as possible.
    Im stupid with still enjoying myself on IPOD even
    the problem exists in my ahead
    I blaming this because uncool things but loveya much!

    As someone's investigation like below;
    It is NOT working the way of adding an Album Art in your POD
    On the contrary of this, When we use a mode of 'Sync' files
    from my ITUNE's Library Lists than it worked outrageously
    Yea, the other users have been faced with this
    freaky yeuky things earlier than me. So the light bulb
    is : We gotta waiting for Patching for ITUNE7.
    ps : Sometimes, But the SYNC mode make my hands and
    my body everything tired...
    I hope someone might be helpful
    pps : DO any better idea? Catch Me then
    and Thx read my lame phrase....

  • I dont always get my songs from itunes, how can i get the album art?

    When I download a song on a place other than iTunes, the album art doesn't show. How can I get it to?

    If you don't buy your music from itunes you can go to amazon.com and simply copy the artwork from their and paste it into itunes. Select the appropriate album or track within your itunes, right click and then select 'get info'then paste it into the artwork box on the right hand side!

  • How can I display all album art of my library in iTunes

    All my music tracks in my library contain the respective album art within their ID3-tags and it is perfectly displayed in the lower left corner window when I select or play a track.
    What I really would like to do is to browse through my library using the album art, not the text-based endless lists (title, album, interpret, genre etc.), then click on a cover, see the tracks and select one.
    Is there a feature in iTunes already that can do that or a plug-in somewhere in the market ? (I do not need a tool that collects album art like eyejamz, but a tool to display the art I already have)
    Thanks a lot for any feedback

    Bakergirl,
    You can use iTunes to remove the beginning or end of a song (or both) by setting the Start and Stop times. 
    But to remove a section from the middle and keep the rest, you will need an audio editor such as Audacity.

  • How can I load this album art? Artwork tab does not display.

    If I place the cursor on one of the items in a compilation and right-click, then select (click) "Get Info", I get this message: "Are you sure you want to edit info for multiple items?" If I click "Yes," nothing happens (I can't add the cover), and there is no "Artwork" tab at the top. The "Summary" page says "There is no album artwork" (greyed out).
    If I place the cursor on one of the items in this compilation and right-click, then select (click) "Get album artwork", I get a message saying Apple can't find it. But I placed the artwork for this particular album in my "Album Artwork" folder.
    Any suggestions on how I can get the album art to display for this compilation? Thanks!

    Are these wav files by any chance? These don't support a tagging system. iTunes can associate iTMS art with wav files when it's available/recognised, but as there is no tag the information cannot be embedded in the files so iTunes doesn't support adding art to wav files.

  • How can I Cut & paste an address from one address book to another on my PC.

    My work computer has 3 address books - 1 personal address book, 2 collected address book, 3 work related address book.
    After a couple of years I would like to tidy up my address books & cut & paste some of them from here to there. However there seems to be no cut & paste or copy & paste feature that I can locate anywhere????
    I can't drag & drop an address from one to another either.
    Can anyone please help
    BevN

    Cut and paste a whole contacts information has never available because it entails different components. Cut/Copy and paste has always been available if you are only selecting one part of the information, but this means you have to open a specific contacts Properties.
    '''How to drag and drop contacts between address books:'''
    In the left Directory Pane, select the address book containing the contact you want to move. You should see a list of contacts in the right Contact Pane.
    Drag & Drop process:
    * Left click and hold down on a contact in the list to grab, then drag that contact to the left and hover over the address book where you want to put the contact. Then release the mouse button to drop into that address book.
    You can move more than one contact.
    * Hold down 'Ctrl' key and use mouse to select and highlight various contacts.
    * then use the D&D process - (left click, hold down on any highlighted contact to grab all highlighted contacts).
