Can't upload album artwork

I have been having this problem for a while, i have the latest version of itunes on windows vista and when i want to upload a cover for an album it doesnt even register. The box is checked and i see the picture i uploaded the preview box but it doesnt change after i hit accept. Please help i have this problem with a lot of albums.

Unless you purchase the CDs from ITunes store there won't be any artwork. In iTunes go to Advanced, then "Get Artwork" (make sure you are connected to the internet) and it will go off to iTunes Store and retrieve the artwork. If iTunes Store does not have the artwork, Google the Album name and artist and Amazon should come up. Click on "Images" and there should be some album covers. Drag a cover to the your desktop and open iTunes and drag the cover to the "place artwork here" in the bottom left hand corner of iTunes. If it is a very rare cd, scan the cover and drag it into iTunes.

  • Can I disable album artwork on my OS 7 Ipod touch 5th generation from showing up in the list?

    Can I disable album artwork on my OS 7 Ipod touch 5th generation from showing up in the list of song/playlist, etc?
    I liked how easy it was to find songs without going thru so much artwork. I know I can do it on itunes, but can I do it on the ipod itself?

    Good to hear you found the solution.

  • Can't add album artwork in iTunes 10.5.3.3

    I just installed iTunes 10.5.3.3 and now I can't add album artwork.  The Artwork tab is missing from Get Info.  Any ideas?

    I have the exact problem with this same iTunes version. However, I just did an experiment. It seems to be primarily limited to songs I've placed via FLAC files, which were "converted" using Fluke. Hmmm... Anyone have a fix for this?

  • After 7.2 can't get album artwork

    Since upgrading to iTunes 7.2, I can't fetch album artwork for cds I've ripped but are available from the iTunes Store. Anyone else having this problem?

    Im having this problem as well. And to further clarify, itunes is not doanloading all the cover art for tracks ive purchased through itunes. SOme albums has artwork, some do not. For example:
    I recently purchased the whole Police catalog through itunes, I do not have artwork for Live!, Syncronicity, Zenyatta Mondatta, or Ghost in the Machine. previous to 7.2, I did, but since rebuilding my itunes libray this artwork will nto download, no matter if I try it manually, or have itunes sett to automatically download it.
    Ive noticed as the days go by, itunes will randomly add a piece of artwork here and there for albums that did not previouosly have artwork...b ut its very random, some days I notice an album now has artwork, then a few days goes by and nothing.

  • How can I get album artwork to save to SD card so I can upload it to my Audi MMI jukebox

    I have all my album artwork in my itunes account.  I am trying to transfer the music to a SD card that can be uploaded to my 2014 Audi Q5 which has a Multi Media Interface.  I can save up to 3000 songs to the car itself.  I can upload the music but the art work will not transfer.  Please help.  I can see all the album covers in itunes and some transfer but some do not.  I read that the files have to be 200kb or less but I do not know how to change the file size of the album art.  I also read that they need to be embeded and I have no idea how to do that.  Please help!!!!!

    Select all songs of a particular album then cmd-I for info. Drag an image to the artwork pane. This will save an embedded image to all songs.
    It's tedious but will solve your problem.

  • ITunes can't get album artwork for songs iTunes has in the store... how do i fix this?

    i have a bunch of songs that either have the wrong album artwork or none at all.  the weirdest thing is that some of the albums are SOLD on iTunes. in fact, if i highlight one of my songs in iTunes, Ping sees it and shows me the correct cover art. BUT when i click "get album artwork", it tells me it cannot find the artwork. i've tried matching the text (song title, album title, artist, genre) exactly as it is in iTunes, but that doesn't help. it is doing this for about 60 of my albums and i don't know how to fix it. how can i get it to find the artwork?
    also... when iTunes finds the WRONG artwork, how can i direct it to the correct one?

    Albums, artists and complications must match precisely for iTunes to get a hit.  If you have a compilation, chances are you have a 'various artists' for an album artists ... there is a bit of a science to it.  I've managed to get most of my 'picky ones' to match.  But I have some that just won't - for whatever reason.

  • How can I remove "Album Artwork" from my iPhone and iPad?

    I've posted about this before in other threads, but the silence from Apple has been deafening,  Others in the community have agreed with the request but haven't been able to answer it.
    I thought a thread of its own might get attention, since Apple won't talk to me otherwise.
    I use music on my iPhone and iPad a lot, playing through speakers in my study or through the car system.  It worked well at first, until I updated the operating systems.
    Now, where I used to have a list of albums, music, or playlists I have large blank areas where album artwork would go if there were any - which in most cases there isn't.  The iPad used to display 50 or more playlists in one screen,with some details of them.  Now, it shows 15 blank squares with a crotchet on them, and the name of the playlist.  That really isn't much use.
    PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE can there be a way to turn OFF album artwork on the iPhone and iPad?   It wastes an enormous amount of screen space for stuff I don't have and don't want.   It's a very unwelcome new "feature" (ie "bug").

    Apple does not participate in these forums, so that would explain why you have not received a response.
    I am not aware of a way to turn off Album art on the devices. If you want to let Apple know of your desire for this setting, go to www.apple.com/feedback and click on the appropriate link. That is where you communicate with them. They will receive the feedback, however they do not respond to it.

  • Can't sync album artwork to ipod touch and music is on many different computers that I can't always get to easily.

    Okay, so, I upgraded my iPod touch to iOS5. When I did that, I got everything back, but I'm missing a ton of album artwork and some of my music has the wrong artwork from completely different artists that I already had on my iPod. For example, I have some albums by the band Lacuna Coil. The album cover for the album Comalies is being shown as the album cover for my Marilyn Manson albums and my Combichrist albums. That's not the only album cover that's being repeated on different artists though. But also, a bunch of my album artwork just isn't there at all, period. It's gone. Now, before I got the iOS5 update, I would just hook my iPod up to iTunes, click on "Mollenstein's iPod" and click on "music" so I could just add the album artwork straight to the iPod because a lot of my music is not on the same computer, so it was just easier to do it that way. After this completely stupid iOS5 update, I can't do that. It will say it's syncing when I try to do it, but it will list off songs that it is updating that aren't even on the album I was trying to put the album artwork on. The album art for those songs didn't change, but neither did the one I was trying to change. About 2000+ of my songs are on my old PC that is a fossil and is slower than a fossil and it would take me hours and hours and hours and hours to fix the album artwork on it because it has an extremely old version of iTunes, so I can't hook my iPod directly to it (the fossil computer does not have access to the internet, so I can't update the iTunes). Therefore, I will have to get a flash drive, transfer music 2 gigs at a time to a different computer, fix the album covers, then sync to my iPod. I guess I can do that if I absolutely have to, but I was wondering if there was an easier way to do that or if I'm supposed to be able to sync album art directly to my iPod and the update is just making it completely ********. Please help, I'm frustrated, and I am too busy to have to mess with crap like this.I'm about to just go back to collecting CD's.

  • ITunes 7- Can't add album artwork

    Lotta dsicussion about this topic, but I haven't seen my particular problem come up. When I try to manually add album artwork nothing happens. I've seen other people say they couldn't get it to work when they just dragged the artwork, but I can't get it to work when I crt+click and get info either. When I get info and paste the artwork into the box, the image shows up, but when I click okay, nothin happens. I make sure the checkbox beside the artwork is checked before I hit Okay.
    Apple's automatic get album artwork worked pretty well, but only found about 80% of my albums. Pretty good considering the weird crap I listen to, but I'm pretty anal, and if 80% is gonna have artwork I want the rest to also.
    Would the problem be that my library is on an external HD?
    Is the problem that my computer (G3 ibook, 640MB SDRAM, OSX 10.4.7) is getting on in years? I can't think of any other ways to tell it to get the artwork, any help would be much appreciated!!

    For files that won't let you change their artwork, there are two primary things you can check.
    Firstly, make sure that the file is writable. If it is on a volume where permissions are managed, make sure you can write to both the file and the folder it is contained in. Select the file in iTunes, command-R, then use Get Info in the Finder to set the file/folder write access if necessary.
    Next make sure the Creator and Type of the file isn't set to an iTunes unfriendly type. I know this was an issue in previous versions of iTunes. For example, for an mp3 file Creator=hook Type=MPG3. I know this sounds like stupid advice, setting resource fork information when Apple is telling us to stay away from using resource forks in OS X. iTunes apparently hasn't heard the news.
    Perhaps adding album artwork to a file on an external volume is acting like the funny behavior of adding artwork to files on iPods. You apparently can't do it directly, but instead have to stage the artwork adding action on the volume which contains your iTunes Music folder, place the files in a temporary LIBRARY based playlist in iTunes, then drag copy the files from this playlist into the target iPod DEVICES playlist.
    It is no longer clear to me what actions constitute an embed artwork action (place associated artwork inside the ID3 tag area of the file itself) versus an attach artwork action (place associated artwork in a separate artwork folder). This is extremely confusing stuff for an application that begins with a lower case i.

  • Can't add album artwork in 10.6.3 (25)

    Hi.  Anyone having trouble adding artwork in 10.6.3?  I have some albums I've burned onto my disk (library sits on a seperate drive), and I've downloaded album artwork from the web but I can't add it in iTunes in the 'Get Info' option.  Everything is greyed out except photos in my iPhoto that I've taken.  I've tried adding the photos to iphoto.  Any help would be appreciated.

    Hi there,
    I have the same issue. So basically when I Rip a DVD into the library I am unable to update the artwork. If I purchase a movie or TV show via iTunes, the artwork is there...Its just updating for me that doesnt work. updating other information like title or sorting or Category - these all work fine.
    I wanted to ask something - are all of you using a NAS for your itunes library or are some of your experiencing this with your library on the MAC or via USB? I had loads of errors with my Itunes library being on a NAS type device and the only way I fixed all my previous errors was by opening iTunes in 32bit mode - however this is now not possible.
    My next test is to see if I use my Windows machine to import the move, change the artwork, then try copy that to the MAC and reimport...Mission but would be good to see if this would work.
    Its very annoying and it seems we all have issues but no official acknoledgement from Apple?

  • I can't get album artwork back in my iPod Touch

    I had to resync all my playlists, but now I can no longer see any of the album artwork on my iPod. Does anyone have an idea on how to get it back ? I'm using iTunes 8 and have the latest version of iPod software (2.2 I believe)

    Thanks for the reply. I actually got it working soon after I posted my question. It was wierd, I re-synched everything from scratch, and I got the artwork back, but it didn't correspond to any of the tracks. Then I re-synched everything from scratch again...I tried one playlist at a time, and everything seems normal again.

  • Can't add Album artwork to certain files.

    Hi, I've come across an anomaly in iTunes. There are certain audio files that cannot, for any reason update album artwork. I update album art work but selecting the file in iTunes then "get info" -> "add album artwork". But on certain files these tabs, as well as lyrics, are greyed out. The audio files are ACC 128bits. The only thing I found in common with the files that won't get album art work or lyrics is that they were encoded with iTunes 4.7. The only fix I can see is reconverting them in another version of iTunes, but this seems like a really dumb fix. Mostly I'm just wondering if there are any other people that have this problem and what fix you came up with, or what would cause a specific version of iTunes to not allow artwork.

    Instead of opening the album under "Get Info" and going into the Artwork tab, try clicking on the square box with a triangle in it located on the bottom left side of the iTunes window. This will display the ablum artwork inside the side bar. Click on the top of the album artwork box where it says "Now Playing" and it will change into "Selected Item". Select a song you're trying to get the album artwork for and see what it says in the box. If it says "Album Artwork Not Modifiable" then you might have a problem with the kind of file the music is. Granted, this shouldn't be any different than going into "Get Info" and trying it there, but at least this way you can tell for sure what the issue is. If the box says "Drag Album Artwork Here" then go ahead and drag the picture there and it should work. Sometimes checking the album artwork box helps you more understand what the issue is. Hope this helps!

  • Can't Drag Album Artwork into iTunes

    For some reason I can no longer drag album artwork into iTunes. If I click on a song or on a group of songs and there is no artwork available, I can no longer drag album art to the "Drag Album Artwork Here" in the bottom left corner. Same goes for when I right click and say "Get Info". It will show a little green plus sign as I drag the picture over the drop area but nothing happens.
    I'm running 10.4 and have made sure that I have read and write privledges to all of the specified folders.
    Anyone have any other ideas?

    Where are you dragging the images from? It might just be that particular site, if you're using the same location time and time again. I use Amazon music when looking for album art for iTunes and generally have good luck with it.
    Are you trying to drag artwork for songs that already have artwork associated with them? Sometimes you might want to clear the downloaded artwork for those tracks and then drag in the new image. I've run into this in cases where I've downloaded a single track from iTunes but then used something else to complete the album.
    Beyond those suggestions, you might want to try re-creating your iTunes Library, per the steps in this document. Note that some data may be lost, such as play counts and date added.
