Can't Paste Artwork in iTunes

Ever since I upgraded a month-and-a-half ago (both iTunes and Mavericks), I cannot paste artwork into iTunes files (movies/TV/Music).  Everything else works fine, but once I copy a picture into the file it simply doesn't "take".  If you reopen the file (Get Info) the artwork tab is blank.  Any thoughts?

It is a bug in the new iTunes release.
Paste has problems, but either of the following will work. 
(1)  Drag-n-drop (rather than copy/paste) the artwork into the box. 
Or (2) save the artwork as a file.  On the artwork tab, use the Add button and point it to the saved file.

  • Cannot copy and paste artwork in iTunes

    Cannot copy and paste artwork in itunes.  Does anyone have suggestions?

    First you need to open song info copy from or paste to the artwork box. It won't work with right click, you need to use the short cuts "cmd C" for copy and "cmd V' for paste.

  • Can't paste artwork after upgraded...

    Can't paste artwork in "Multiple Item Information" after upgraded to the latest version!
    Have to Add artwork in single song info.

    Hi All,
    Thanks for the reply. I used to copy the image from FireFox "Copy Image" or copy the image from Photoshop and just paste into the "Artwork" box in "Multiple Item Information". It always OK but now it just appear the tick only and blank in the box.
    One time I tried copy image from ACDSee, it worked!!! It can paste from ACDSee!!!
    I'll try "drag & drop" the image into the artwork box when I get home tonight, where I work is using MAC, can't test here.
    Thanks a lot!

  • I have just dowloaded iTunes new version 10.4 (on Windows), and I can't paste artwork from Word anymore, only directly from the net (where the size or the quality are not always optimal). Any way around this?

    I have just dowloaded iTunes new version 10.4 (on Windows), and I can't paste any artwork from Word anymore, only directly from the net (where the size or the quality of the images is not always optimal). Major problem given that I'm in the process of re-ripping some 40K+ songs in Lossless format... Any way around this?

    After spending another two days on pinning down the iTunes 10.5 blank store page problem, here's the solution to be found: https://discussions.apple.com/thread/3372617?start=0&tstart=0
    Look out for "japiohelp".
    In short:
    a) press Windows key + "R", enter "cmd", and press Ctrl+Shift+Enter (= runs as admin)
    b) enter "netsh winsock reset" and pres enter
    c) reboot the computer
    and Bob's your uncle.

  • 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
    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 import artwork from iTunes

    After loading my two music CDs onto my music library, I cannot import the artwork from iTunes stores

    To have iTunes automatically download album artwork when you import a CD or add songs with missing artwork, choose iTunes > Preferences, click Store, and select “Automatically download missing album artwork.”
    If you've done that, and you still can't get the artwork, the CD may not be available at the iTunes store. You can use Amazon.com to get artwork. Look up the CD at Amazon, click the artwork to display large size and drag it to your desktop. Then you can add it to your iTunes library.
    To add artwork to one item, select an item in your iTunes library and drag the art file to the artwork viewer.
    To add artwork to multiple items, select an item, choose File > Get Info, and click Artwork. To add art to the selected item, click Add (or drag the art file from your desktop to the artwork viewer). Click Next to add artwork to the next item.
    To add the same artwork to multiple items, hold down the Command key as you click each item, choose File > Get Info, click Artwork, and drag the art file to the artwork viewer.
    To add more than one piece of art to a song, drag more than one image to the same artwork box.

  • How can I view Artwork on iTunes for 1 or 3 songs per Album?

    So, I am on my iTunes. On the previous Version of iTunes, you can have the list of Albums and view at the same time the Artwork whether it was for 10, 20 songs or even just 1 song. With the new version, there are four icons on the Upper Right where you can view "Cover Flow", "Album Covers", "Detailed List", "Detail List with Album Artwork"...
    When I click on the "Detail List with Album Artwork" and I want to view the Artwork for those albums that I only have 1, 3, or just 5 songs, I cannot view the Artwork. I can only view the Artwork (if for example) those with more then 10 songs.
    How can I view the Artwork at the same time as with those that I am able to?

    I can only view the Artwork (if for example) those with more then 10 songs.
    iTunes menu View > Aways show artwork.
    iTunes defaults to show artwork for albums with 5 or more songs.

  • Can I embed Artwork in iTunes files on my G4 Flat Panel?

    Can I embed the artwork from a CD album in each file in iTunes so that they can be visible on my new Sonos sound system?  I have a iMac G4 Flatpanel with OS X 10.5.8.

    File -> Add to library.
    If you do not want them copied to the internal drive, first go to iTunes prefs -> Advanced.
    Uncheck *Copy files to iTunes music folder when Adding to library*.

  • How can I enlarge artwork on iTunes 11?

    How can I make the artwork look bigger in iTunes 11, I have them all in Album view so they are all tiles. I have then 6 albums in each row, How can I zoom them in, like how I could in iTunes 10?

    I absolutely agree, I have a 27" screen and loads of tunes... the artwork is way to big. I used the 'bottom right' zoom - 10 times a day, its a big enough reason for me to down grade! Apple you are becoming to big for your own good and certainly disconnected with your users and audience. Tut, tut tut.
    I should also say that in Itunes 10 when you hovered over an album you had the option to play, now you have to click the album and then when its expanded move the mouse down and click play... my question is why would apple make it harder work and more clicks than it was originally & yes i know  that you can double click but thats still 100% more effort 20 times a day.
    Good product inovations are only good for as long as you keep them!

  • 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.

  • Can't set artwork in iTunes

    When I select an album that has not artwork, choose 'Get Info', check the "Artwork" box, drag a picture to the blank box, apply it, etc. It acts as if everything is working. However, no artwork is displayed with any of the album items.

    search the board. it seems to be a known problem with AIFF files in the new 7.3 iTunes.

  • Can't paste artwork

    when I try to paste a jpg file into the artwork box after entering get info for a track, all I see is a picture that says JPEG not the picture itself, does anyone know how to sort this?
    Thanks,
    John

    Try drag-and-dropping the image into the "well" (the box).

  • Can't paste lyrics into Itunes 10

    I have recently tried to add lyrics to some of my new songs in iTunes 10 (10.0)
    and when i "right" click (two fingers) in the area to paste lyrics, absolutely nothing happens.
    My right click does work in all other applications and also in other parts of iTunes.
    If you could tell me why this is happening and how to fix it that would be great.
    -Thanks

    I'm sorry, but what do you mean by "entry area"?
    I'm experiencing the same problem as OCL033096, but I don't seem to be able to bypass it.

  • How to delete album artwork from itunes?

    i have tried the clear downloaded artwork, but this didn't work. is there any other way that i can delete album artwork from itunes? i am assuming the artwork is embedded in the files, since the clear downloaded artwork didn't work.

    I think this might have been answered before, but this is what I know.
    One way I'm aware of to clear artwork is to do a properties of any album you want to clear the artwork from, go to artwork, select the artwork and delete it.
    Iirc, iTunes holds the artwork in it's database and not physically with the audio file. I normally use "Mp3tag" to add my artwork to albums so the artwork is embedded in the audio files, I tend to steer clear of adding artwork in iTunes itself. Just be weary when adding images to the audio files themselves: The audio files will increase in size of the image itself, I think that's why iTunes doesn't physically add it to the files.
