Can't Get Albumn Art To Import Always

This one I've never been able figure out as it's intermittent:
Sometimes on CDs, that I own, and rip to iTunes, if iTunes doesn't find the artwork online, I'll copy/paste the cover art in myself. Mostly it works fine. I make the art 500x500 pixels.
- If applying the cover art to an entire album, I'll select all the songs and do Get Info and double click the "Artwork" box in the lower right of the Get Info window.
Usually the art is imported to each song. I can see it in iTunes lower left "Selected Item" in iTunes main window.
I can also see the art if I select a single song > Get Info > click the Artwork tab.
And lastly, the icon in the Finder usually shows a mini thumbnail of the art.
Problems:
1. Sometimes: importing this way a song will not receive the art. so when I select the song within iTunes all the places the art would show is blank. And the Finder icon is generic too.
2. Sometimes the art will import according to iTunes and you can see it in all the usual iTunes places, but the Finder icon stays generic.
I've tried everything. I've selected the individual song and imported the art via the Artwork tab by clicking Add button. The art will then import finally, but the Finder icon stays generic while all the other songs show the correct cover art.
If I select the song in Finder and Get Info the cover art shows in the Get Info window, but the icon in the Finder remains generic.
If I open the song in an editing program like Fission (RogueAmoeba) and just hit SAVE, then the Finder icon goes from generic to the album art.
Odd...

Hey! where'd the Edit button go? It was here up until a day or so ago. Oh well... I'll do it as a Reply. I forgot to ask of you all reading this... What's the best way to import to an album that iTunes can't find using "Get Albumn Art"?
There seems 3 ways:
1. The Artwork window if selecting more than one song at a time
2. The Artwork tab if selecting one song at time
3. Drag and drop in the lower left of the iTunes main window where it says Now Playing.
Thanks
PS... they edit link shows on this Reply but doesn't show on my original post that started this thread. Never noticed Discussions worked that way before. Hmmm.

How can I get clip art on Pages like MS Word has?

How can I get clip art on Pages like MS Word has?

Pages will use any old graphics, of which there are bucket loads on the internet.
You just drag, paste or import it or bring it in via the Media Browser:
Menu > View > Show Media Browser
If you want WordArt then you will need to create that in another program and bring it in.

I can't get photoshop CS6 to import from my HP scanjet 5590?

I can't get photoshop CS6 to import from my HP scanjet 5590? I have tried plug ins, and reinstally scanner software but it only recognizes my main scanner/printer!

Hello & Welcome to the forums,
but it only recognizes my main scanner/printer!
Does this mean your HP Scanjet 5590 is a 2nd scanner you have on your computer?
Are you able to scan with 5590 on a different application? Is it only Photoshop that is giving you this problem?
Please let us know details about your operating system and its version too.
Do tell us how you're trying to 'import' pictures from your 5590 scanner.

I've always wanted to obtain and have perfect resolutioned cover art for my albums. I have been and downloaded albums from the iTunes store, and they come with really great cover art. How can I get cover art as precise and clean as the albums have on ther

My problem mainly concerns cover art.
There have been times when I downloaded albums from the iTunes store to find its cover art it is absolutely beautiful, and is absolutely 100% un stretched. Whereas when I have gotten images for a specific album from Google Images it's terribly pixelated and totally disgusting.
Is there a way for me to obtain cover art for my albums that is has clarity equal to the cover art on the iTunes store albums.
Or will it basically boil down to I can only get that cover art by downloading my albums off the store?

The old iTunes libraries do not restore any playlists or song counts.
They should you if you do the roll back properly... Opening files from the Previous iTunes Libraries folder in Windows Explorer simply opens the current library. If you don't see the .itl file extension then don't give your copied and renamed file the extention or iTunes will create an empty library rather than using the renamed file.
If you had a complete pre-problem backup of your library you could restore that. On the assumption that isn't possible I have a script called ExportImport that could in principle be adjusted to save the relevant data from a backup of the library database and then reimport that data into the current library. See this thread for details.

Can't get Album Art for CDs

I ripped a bunch of CDs to Windows Media Player and it got the album art for all of them. Then later I installed iTunes and it automatically converted the songs over to it from WMP, but iTunes did not get the album art and it says that it is not available when I click on "Get Album Art." What do I do?

Not a complete answer, but will get you most of the art work you need.
Find the album on the Internet. I usually try Amazon.com, puretracks.com, or any site that will let you right click and save the art work shown. Use the "Save As" and save it as a "jpg" file. Make sure you put it in a location, and give it a name you can find.
Open iTunes, find the album and right click on it. Click on "Get Info", go to the "Artwork" tab, and click on "Add". Brows to the location where you saved the artwork and add it.
If you have more that one song in the same album you can add the same artwork to each song by right clicking on the artwork just imported and selecting copy. Go to the next song's artwork and right click and select past.
Not the best, but after I find the album I can add the artwork to all the songs in an album in less that two minutes.
It is taking a little work, but I am slowly overcoming the stupidity of the Apple programmers who wrote iTunes. It is a fairly good program, but it could be much better if Apple would make it easier for users to submit suggestions, and if they incorporated the popular suggestions. Unfortunately Apple has always had an arrogant attitude and they are not likely to change any time soon.

How can I get album art to be shown in the left corner when it's already shown in the main area of iTunes?

My entire music collection was recently deleted on accident. It was my fault (and partially my external harddrive's ridiculously touchy USB cord's fault), but anyways I was able to use an undelete software to get the files back. Some are gone, some are somehow warped into each other, e.g., a folk song, audio-wise, is now replaced with half of a death metal song. I'm trying to fix all that up right now, but my problem is that I can only see album art in the main part of iTunes, right next to the song titles displayed. iTunes refuses to display the art in the bottom left-hand corner, where I think it usually shows what the cursor is locked on at a given time. I'm sorry for not elaborating a sentence or two back, I've also lost about half of my album art in iTunes, so that's why I'm adding it back.
The weird thing is, album art that was retained after the deletion fiasco does show up in both areas. It's just album art that I add right now that doesn't work. And it can't just be because the files are corrupted or something, because they are editable and play fine, and the same thing happened with a file I just redownloaded and then imported. That file should be perfectly OK.
Can anyone tell me if there's a reason for album art to not display in the bottom left-hand corner of iTunes while I have certain files selected?
Thanks
p.s. one more thing, it's not like the Currently Selected box in that corner is hidden, it's in plain view which is why the blank space is so bothersome.

I am having a similar problem - my iPod Touch (2nd gen., 32GB, iOS 4.1) was recognized by iTunes on my 24" iMac (Intel, Late 2006) after I had updated it about 1-2 weeks ago (Software Update) to 10.2.2 (the iMac has OS X 10.5.8 on it). I had to take my iMac to a local WiFi spot to do the updating, because I don't have Internet at home currently (can't find anyone who provides just affordable DSL if you don't have your landline via AT&T).
Today I went to sync my iPod Touch with the iMac (I had updated some apps and bought one new one using the iPT through local WiFi spot). However, iTunes did not see ANY devices at all(!). I tried connecting the iPod Touch first, restarting iTunes and then re-connecting the iPT - nothing helps. The iPod screen turns on just like when charging, but no sign of syncing.
I'm wondering how applicable the article that you listed would be, or is there a comparable article for iPod Touches with 10.5.8? (I'm getting very fed up with what seems to be the standard Apple partyline of "Just buy a new iPod/Mac/get new software....blah, blah, blah" -Apple, what about those of us who consider it wasteful and unnecessary to buy new hardware or software every few years, just to get a helpful and NON-condescending reply from your support people?

Getting album art for imported music

I imported my wma music when I switched to iTunes. However, only one or two of the imported albums have album art. I enable the automatic album art retrieval tool in store/preferences, but I am still not getting album art on the imported music. I also imported some cd's, which, as I understand it, should get album art automatically; it hasn't happened. It it me? Hope someone can help. Thanks.

Are these items sold in the itunes store? It only fetches artwork on things it sells, so no AC/DC or Beatles artwork will be fetched.
Second, your tags have to exactly match whatever is in the iTS database. For example - a while back iTS had Led Zeppelin's Mothership listed under "Lead Zeppelin", so nobody was getting any artwork for it. They have fixed that one....

Can't get MP4 Video to import

These are the specs on a video file on my computer recorded off of a JVC GY-HM 100U. I can't get it to import into FCPX, and it wont' import into Compressor.
What is apple's official stance on what to do with these files?
What is the easiest way to get this into FCPX? Is there any way of doing this without having to use a third party program? I find it insane that a professional editing system such as FCPX and Compressor would not be enough to handle a file as common as an MP4.
(ps i'm well aware that the JVC camera is capable of recording the file as a .MOV, but i wasn't the one who shot the footage).

I looked at FCPX's manual online and it states...
If you’re importing video clips from a still camera or other flash memory device, make sure the file format of your video is MPEG-2, MPEG-4, or AVCHD, all of which are compatible with Final Cut Pro.
...So it says MPEG-2 AND MPEG-4 are acceptable formats. So why is this still not working?

Where can I get the codec to import iMovie clips into Premiere CS6?

I am running a PC with Win7 & PPro CS6
I have a bunch of clips that were copied over from iMovie imports (no original files exist anymore)
They are all a special form of .mov
I can play them in VLC Media Player (but not Quicktime, or WMP) so I know that a pc can handle them...
When I import into CS6 I get an errorsaying Codec missing or unavailable...
Whered can I get the proper Codec?
Thanks all!
Aza

Considering the last post was made in March last year, I've attached the feature request I made today, just so you know you're not alone on this issue, for anyone with the same problem.
MAC to PC Support:
There needs to be a comprehensive and readily supplied library of codecs to provide simple transitions between MAC and PC.
I'm currently working on my first feature film. I raised a little bit of money through Kickstarter, enough to buy a decent HD camera and a microphone. Basically, I'm not a professional and I'm learning as I go. The camera I bought is a Canon XHA1- it records to mini-DV. I do not have the money to buy an HDV tape deck, leaving me with the only other option of using the firewire port to capture footage off of the camera itself. I had a firewire-to-USB cable, which I used to capture footage to my PC, but after getting a new computer with Windows 8, the camera is now out of date and the OS has no drivers for it. I then decided to capture my footage on an old i-Mac my friend gave me, through i-Movie. After moving the files to my PC, I found that Premiere Pro CC was unable to import them.
Needless to say, the song and dance I have to go through every time I try to capture footage is frustrating, and considering the mission of Adobe Creative Cloud, to provide affordable opportunities and resources to independent artists, not to mention the fact that Adobe is for both Mac and PC (and especially not mentioning the fact that it is a service I am paying for monthly,) I feel like these kinds of problems shouldn't exist.
Of course saying "I pay for this, this problem shouldn't exist" is the rallying cry for every idiot who expects the impossible. But capturing on i-Movie... and importing to Premiere Pro? Really? Why is this an issue? Maybe i-Movie is out of date... but I'm not going to waste another weekend capturing; it probably still won't work.
I'm not asking for file conversion software. That's what I'm going to have to do on my own, for GBs upon GBs of footage just so I can get to the editing table. The problem is that I have to convert it in the first place. If there is any progress on this issue, please let me know.

I can't get iCal to stop importing

I can't get iCal to shut down

rjorden,
Force quit iCal. >Force Quit>iCal.
Then remove the com.apple.iCal.plist file from your Macintosh HD/Users/yourusername/Library/Preferences Folder. Drag the .plist file to your desktop.. Also go to your HD/Users/yourusernam/Library/Calendars Folder and remove any files with "Cache" as a part of the file name. Log out/in, or restart and check iCal/Calendar for functionality.
To find the correct Library Folder for Preferences/Calendar, select Finder>Go and depress the Option key.

I can't get my art cards to center when importing from photoshop. iMovie 6

I've tried just about every size for the HD Widescreen. I thought 1280x720 would get it. It fits the window, but it is not centered and gets pushed right. I need to use photoshop as I have a corporate logo and various sized type/colors on the same art card. I have tried all the different types of HD settings and Widescreen is the only one that gets close. I am using iMovie 6 as I like that interface better than the later ones.
Thanks for any input

I also prefer iMovie 6!
Not sure about the centering, but the correct ratios are:
PAL (for Europe):
Standard DV (4:3) 768 x 576
DV Widescreen (16:9) 1050 x 576
NTSC (for the USA):
Standard DV (4:3) 720 x 528
DV Widescreen (16:9) 874 x 480
Mind you, I have never bothered with the aspect ratio. I regularly use photos in jpg format (200 dpi) in 6.4 aspect and they always centre.
What format are your Art cards? If you save them as jpgs they should centre when imported in to iMovie from iPhoto.

Can you get album art from.......

.....a CD you've imported? OR, do you have to get it from iTunes? iTunes doesn't have the album I've imported.
Is there any source for the album art other than iTunes??
Thanks,
ks

CDs don't contain artwork, if you can't find the album covers you want from iTunes you can get them from various other sources. I find this site is a good source of artwork: CD/Album Cover Art Search from SlothRadio.
Another place for finding suitable artwork is Amazon, you can check out their stores worldwide. You can also locate artwork using Google image search and put the artist or album name. Locate the album from any of those sources, save the picture to your desktop and drag it to the iTunes artwork pane. Alternatively there are programs like these that help locate artwork: iTunes Art Importer or MP3 Tag

How can I get Photoshop Elements to import photos that it wrongly indicates are wrong or in catalog?

Had 17,000 photos on harddrive before installing Photoshop Elements 11 today. Had them well organized in a number of folders under My Pictures. PS found and imported only 467 photos. I tried Search, Browse, and import Files; was able to highlight folders and individual photo files. When I clicked Get Media, it processed for 20 seconds and came back with message that "Files are not in correct format or are already in the catalog." In fact, they are in the correct format (jpg - able to easily view with other programs) and they are NOT visible in the catalog. I went into Control Panel and enabled the Watch service, listed all of the files that PS had not imported from, and still cannot show more than 467 of my photos. Very frustrating, any suggestions? Running Win 7 on 6-months old Sony that plays Blue-Ray, with 8 GB RAM and quad core Intel processors.

This forum is amazing - thanks to all who responded over the weekend. For future users, some replies I found helpful: 1. allow a lot of time for the cataloging process. I had not realized it would be such a slow and incremental process but a day later it is continuing to add to the catalog - am now up to a couple thousand in the catalog, 2. turning off Organize and Stack visually-similar, and the corrective functions during the initial process speeds things up, 3. go into Control Panel, Administrative, Services and activate the Photoshop Elements watch function as soon as you install Elements, 4. it was helpful to repair/optimize, and 5. if you realize it is really messed up, uninstalling Elements and re-installing may work better than lots of little tweaks and fixes. Now if I can just figure out how to get photos ordered by actual date taken rather than random future dates that my camera or previous version of Elements 8 apparently assigned....

How can I get around the -40 import error?

I'm using iMovie 3.03 and just found out that the -40 error I get when importing videos is due to a 9 minute (and 32 seconds) limit. My imports (1 mov and 1 avi) are just over 14 minutes each. Does anyone know of a work around for this problem? Or of any 3rd party software that will allow me to cut the import in half so I can bring each file into iMovie in 2 parts?
Thanks for any advice you can give.
YH!

OK... I went to the site and downloaded the app. I ran it and it exported 9 mins of the file and then would not export the other half and gave me an error: NSReceiverEvaluationScriptError:4
Then I put the app on my desktop and changed the length of the file exported to 8 mins (using the instructions given with the download. When I ran it again, it said I needed Quicktime Pro to run it.
So... now what I don't want to do is buy Quicktime Pro and find out that it still won't work. Would Quicktime Pro be able to do split the videos? Or at least be able to cut half of the video off and save as another file name?
