Cannot apply artwork/changes manually to albums...

Latest iTunes is set to "automatically get album artwork" but I have a few hundred that it could not find. When I try to apply it manually (right click/select all/get info/double click album artwork) or even change the genre of the album, I get all the changes set, then when I press OK, it does nothing. It doesn't apply the artwork that I put in the box and it doesn't apply any other changes. It just sits there! Any suggestions on how to rectify?
I never had this problem w/ the older version & I've downloaded this newest one twice in an effort to make it work.

I would double check this - the symptom you describe normally has this cause. Apologies if I'm restating what you know to be obvious but just in case....
As well as the Read-Only flag your files may have security permissions that prevent you from making changes. This is most common if your data is on an NTFS drive that has moved from one Windows installation to another. In order to fix them, however, you first have to be able to find them.
*Missing Security Tab in Windows XP*
If you have Windows XP, and your hard drive is formatted as NTFS, you can set permissions on files so that only users you specify can access them. However, if your Windows XP computer is not part of a Domain on a network, you may notice that there is no Security tab when you right-click a file and choose Properties.
To reveal the Security tab follow these steps:
1. Open Windows Explorer, and choose Folder Options from the Tools menu.
2. On the View tab, scroll to the bottom of the Advanced Settings and clear the check box next to "Use Simple File Sharing."
3. Click OK to apply the change, and you should now have a Security tab when viewing the properties of a file or folder on an NTFS volume.
*Fixing Permissions*
Right-click on your top-level iTunes folder, click Properties. On the General tab clear the Read-only box if checked, then switch to the Security tab. Make sure that your own account (or Everyone) and SYSTEM have Full Control. Apply the changes. If for some reason you are not allowed to apply the change you should be able to use your administrator status to take ownership of the folder after which you will be able to modify the security permissions.

Get Info does not allow me to manually add album artwork

Hello,
I am trying to manually upload album artwork on iTunes with my Windows PC (Windows 8.1 64 bit). I followed all of the steps for doing this as outlined here in the Help section. I did a Google search, found the album artwork in JPEG format on the internet, and then saved it to a folder on my hard drive. I then went back into iTunes, right clicked on the album that is missing its artwork, and clicked the "Get info" button. When the next screen opens I select the "Artwork" tab, and then I select the "Add Artwork button." This opens up a browser for my file directory, and then I went to the folder where I saved the album artwork and double clicked on the particular JPEG I wanted to add for the CD. The JPEG was immediately loaded onto the screen, and everything looked good to go. However, when I hit the "OK" button to select this uploaded album artwork which is loaded on the screen, for whatever reason iTunes does not save it, and the album artwork icon for the CD remains blank. Let me know where I am going wrong, or if this is a bug that needs to be addressed.
Also, I have a program called Music Collectorz that I am using to catalog all of my CDs as I burn my collection to iTunes. For those CDs in which the Collectorz program cannot automatically find or identify the appropriate album artwork on its own, I can open up the Collectorz program's own version of "Get Info" and select "Find Cover Art." By doing this, the Collectorz program automatically does a search on the internet--without me having to leave the Collectorz program--and retrieves several "hits" it located for the missing artworkwhich it displays on another window within the program. I then simply double click with the mouse on the photo of the artwork file I want to upload to associate with the particular CD, and it is automatically uploaded and associated with the CD. Also, the Collectorz program will only allow you to upload artwork that is saved in file formats and sizes that are supported by the program like JPEG files.
It seems to me that Apple should have an easy way like this to manually add album artwork in iTunes. I should not have to do a separate Google search outside of the iTunes program, then save a JPEG to my hard-drive in another folder, and then go back into iTunes to add (or try to add) it to a CD's profile. This is a waste of time, and involves several unnecessary steps. This process should all be incorporated through the iTunes program as a one-stop shop method. I should never have to leave the iTunes program to add any artwork ever.
I look forward to your response on this.
Thanks,

I assume that there are legal restrictions on the way in which iTunes can get artwork automatically from any source apart from the iTunes Store (which is what the right-click > Get Album Artwork function uses). For example, even though the Gracenote service that iTunes uses to match CDs and retrieve metadata (artist, album, track titles, etc.) also has artwork functions, iTunes does not make use of these.
For manual addition of artwork, there are three cases where the image you select may not be correctly embedded in your media files:
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.

Cannot manually import album cover

Hi I have a couple of albums, that itunes cannot find artwork for. Most of the time I have been able to open get info and locate artwork through finder so that it displays. However for a couple of albums I find the picture, it appears in the box but when I close the window the artwork is not displayed. I have opened get info on each track and the artwork tab is greyed out. Any help gratefully received. (iTunes 10)

check if you have read & write permissions for your music folder. in finder, right-click on it and +get info+. unlock the little padlock (you may have to enter your admin password) and change the permission settings. next, click on the little gear-shaped icon and +apply to enclosed items+ like so
you may also give everyone read & write access.
the important part is to *apply to enclosed items* !
now try again adding artwork.

Can't manually add album artwork through iTunes 10.5 on an iPhone 4s

Ok, heres the deal - (and this is a weird one)
I have iTunes 10.5, windows xp and a new iPhone 4s. I am missing multiple album covers so I just find high-res ones on google and save them in preparation of manually adding them to the album via iTunes. The way I do this (and have always done this) is by highlighting the whole album, right clicking and going to 'get info'. Then I go the bottom right corner where it says "Artwork" and double click to open the folder of all my highres album covers. I then choose the correct album and click on 'open'. The artwork box stays BLANK no matter how many times I choose a cover and open it. So then I wait for it to sync the non-cover to the iphone...which doesnt work because its not syncing anything but it thinks it is. I then have to DO THE PROCESS ALL OVER AGAIN to make it work. Generally it finally takes the album cover after the 2nd time. Generally.
Now heres the thing, sometimes it just hangs up on the title at the top of the screen, the status bar. It just says "Updating Files On 'Derek's iPhone' ("preparing to update" is the sub text) with the little candycane status bar running across. It may do this and hang for a good 3 minutes EACH TIME!
So I have to go through multiple albums, one by one, manually syncing album covers 2 times in a row since it never works the first time and hope that it doesnt hang too long and just time out, which it has done multiple times before. If it doesnt work the first 2 times, then I'll try 3 or 4 times but then it will just time out, not saying any error or anything but it just wont transfer the album artwork. I'll look at my phone and the cover is still blank!
The only way around this, that I've found, is quit iTunes and unplug the phone and start the whole process over again for EVERY. ALBUM. and btw, I have about 40 albums to do this to.
So all this music came from cd's a while ago, I just dont want to pay for the iTunes version JUST to get the album cover since I already have the music.
At this rate, it would take me a few months of non-stop syncing to finish.
And on top of THAT, a few weeks back I made some serious headway on this and almost got finished to the "S" albums (listed alphabetically), checked my phone, all the covers were there. Then about a week later, plugged my phone back in and noticed that AAAALLLL the work I did in the past was GONE! I had to start over from the "G" albums. And thats where I'm at now...
Please help
P.S. - Of course I've already tried "get album artwork"..duh, it doesnt work. It doesnt get the right covers or horrible versions or low res or MOST times, it just says it can't find any

I am currently having the same problem. I have an ipod touch and yesterday I finally updated to 10.5. For starters, after the update, all of the songs were gone, so I manually had to re-add them. I have about 5 CD albums on my PC that I ripepd and then added to my ipod, and about 3/5 I never had album cover issues with. But upon plugging in my ipod again today, the album covers were gone for ALL of the CDs. On top of that, when I manually change the "info" on some songs, it is updated on itunes, but not on my Ipod!

Album artwork changed suddenly

Hey peeps, have a question, maybe someone has had to deal with this? I went through 10 pages on this forum and also did a search on the specific problem I'm dealing with without finding a solution.
Purchased album / singles artwork changed recently without any action from my part. Example: I purchased the album "Sospiri" by soprano Cecilia Bartoli. Obviously the cover is something appropriate for opera. To my surprise, every single song today had been replaced with a picture of a bear (I am not kidding) for an obscure movie called "Quigley". I have nothing like that on my iTunes library. Another example: Enrique Iglesias' "I Like It" suddenly shows up with Gloria Estefan's greatest hits cover. And yet another: The XX's iTunes Festival live EP shows up with one of Beyoncé's albums cover.
I didnt do anything to trigger these changes. I have looked for the source of this problem on iTunes's preferences pane but I have the "Automatically download missing artwork" unchecked.
Can someone shed any light on this situation?
Much appreciated.

I originaly had all of my artwork, some came with the albums, others I had to spend ages finding a suitable image and copying into the info section of each album. Recently half of it disappeared and not following any pattern i.e. some purchased, some home ripped also gone!!
I really hate these companies who, on making vast amounts of money, cant deliver but more importantly change things for the worse without any choice to the customer.
ANy ideas to solve my problem would be grateful....

I can't manually add album artwork to the tracks.

Everytime I try to add an album cover to an album I go to "Get Info", then paste the album artwork in the album cover box. But when I paste the album cover the small box is still blank, and if I click on "Ok" button the album artwork of the entire album is now a black square. I tried unninstalling and reinstalling the itunes and I still have that problem. I have the last version of itunes the 10.4 update. Can somebody tell me what is going on?.

Do I paste it into any specific folder in iTunes or what?
No, iTunes will not be looking in that folder. The file simply has to be somewhere on your computer. However, if you place them in a folder that Syncs the pictures in it to your iPod, those pictures will take up additional space on your iPod.
I created a folder specifically for this problem and place the pictures in that. Then I simply copy them from there and into iTunes.

Changing Browser to Album Artist?

Hello,
I've got iTunes 7 on my PC and have a question about Browsing by Album Artist:
Can I change the "browser" (turn-on-and-off-able bit at the top of the main song selecty window) to work off "Album artist" instead of/as well as Artist?
Just to fill in what I already know, and to help people who are confused or stuck with iTunes organising things into folders where they don't want them stored...
I have worked out so far that I can fill in Artist and album artist (as I always did in WMP to keep things organised) so I can put Various Artists or the DJ/Compiler/Record Label in Album Artist, and the actual Artist in the Artist hole.
I also noticed that I need to check "Compliation" to make it store it in my HDD under Album artist so it doesn't confuse the **** out of me by spreading everything around into individual song artist directories and stuffing me live when DJing and looking for a particular "record" using Atomix Virtual DJ (which goes by the file structure in windows).
In the main window view I can sort all music by album artist by clicking on that title in the complete song list of all music, (and it being a "compilation").
Also in the big CD cover browsing view (which is nice btw!) it sorts by album artist. Yay! Marvellous!
However, because I have loads of CDs, sometimes if I'm not having a browse and want to go straight to a CD I'd like to be able to use the 1st or 2nd browser view. If I want a Blue Note Compilation, Various Artists, any of my soundtrack albums, or DJ/Record label compilations I have to scroll all the way up and down the long list. If for example I wanna listen to "Keep it solid Steel" by Mr. Scruff, if I choose him in the artist box it won't have anything off that album as it's a compilation by him, and will only show his own songs. WMP will go by Album Artist (even though it actually says Artist in the left Colum on the new WMP11 beta), but I'd rather use iTunes as it seems faster and nicer generally (and has useful things like the backup option). If iTunes does this it'll definitely be my media player of choice.
If this isn't possible, any chance of iTunes 8 being able to select what options you can sort by at the top of the browser?
The only way I've found is to type "Various", "Warp", "Blue Note", etc. in the search box
It seems very frustrating to me if you can't, especially since like all media players iTunes comes with "Genre" which seems far less useful amongst the widely varying crossover artists, styles, and vibes, that music comes in! Can anyone tell me if Lamb are Dance, Drum n' bass, Jazz n Bass, Electronica, Trip-Hop, Hip-hop, Trance, Soul, Pop, Alternative Pop, Jazz? Heck, today I discovered a handful of new musical genres including "Wonky Trance" and "Clown Step"! (see wikipedia if you don't believe me!)

Bollocks! No, it doesn't work nicely as they all appear in the wrong track order! Doh!
I noticed other people have brought this up before in the forum.
I sent a feedback to Apple. Here it is for those of you having the same problem, or who agree, or who don't understand what I'm on about:
Hello,
I've just changed to using iTunes a few weeks ago as it has some nicer user functions (was previously using windows media player) and it's making me very frustrated...
I store all my albums (well over 10,000 tunes I've collected for YEARS on CD!) by the way they come on the CD; by Track Artist for the Artist and Album Artist for the Album artist. Normally for e.g. Michael Jackson, Artist and Album Artist will be the same. For compilation/DJ mix ablums this means the Album Artist will be Various Artists, the DJ/Production Crew, or Record label as applicable. If, for example, I want to listen to my Jazzanova Remixes album I can sort by album artist, choose Jazzanova, and get all the tunes on that album, whilst artist points out who each individual track is by (that Jazzanova remixed). Likewise, if I scroll to "various artists" in album artist I'll get compilation albums, or a particular DJ/collective such as by Mr. Scruff, Blue Note records compilations, etc., etc.
Also this applies to artists where the album may be one artist, but each song artist may be that artist + another, e.g. Artist being Eminem & Dr Dre, Eminem & Dido, Eminem (feat. Joe Bloggs), etc., whilst the Album remains filed under the "Album Artist" of Eminem so I don't get millions of "X with/featuring Y" artists and spreading my albums out in a big mess.
The problem of iTunes filing them in different artist folders for each track on that album on my harddrive can be overcome by making them a "compilation", then it seems to store in Compilation instead.
However, it seems to insist on filing secondarily by artist, not track number/and album, when album artist is selected. This then messes the list up completely as, if I use the artists "Coldcut" as an example, when I go to Coldcut as an album artist it displays the beginning of the "Journeys by DJ" album by coldcut (album artist) from "track artists" alphabetically A->C until it gets to the Coldcut songs on it, then has a completely different coldcut album (Sound Mirrors) of which all tracks are written by Coldcut and the album artist is Coldcut, then finishes the "Journeys by DJ" album by coldcut with the rest of the track artists from Coldcut->Z!
The only way around this seems to be to file by album, then scroll all the way through loads of tunes to get to that particular album, defeating the idea of an easily organised music collection!
This problem is made worse by the fact if I have "browse by compilations" on to help, and use the browser at the top, Artist only chooses by track artist. I then need to go to Compilations and (assuming I remember it's called "Journeys by DJ" since I can't go straight to Compilation Artist) click on the album, from a list of all my "various artist" and DJ/remix/record label compilations.
At this point it gets worse as having chosen the album (for the sake of this example "Journeys by DJ" by Coldcut) all the tracks then appear in track artist alphabetical order since it's either still being browsed by Album Artist as I would have had my records diplayed by that to begin with and it sorts secondarily by track Artist. Alternatively it could be sorted by (track) "Artist" since I'd browsing by compilation. Regardless since I would have narrowed it down to one album with the browser function so "album artist" will all be the same for all tracks, it makes no difference - it is going to be listed alphabetically by track artist.
This means therefore, that unless the album is alphabetically sorted by artist to begin with it comes up in the wrong order!!! Therefore when you play your lovely expertly DJ mixed compiation you bought on CD all the crossfades between tracks don't happen as the album's in the wrong order!!!
You can get around this by then clicking displaying "Track number" too. This seems silly though as normally in a normal view it already shows them at the front of the track listing. You therefore have to have them displayed twice, and then after going into compilations, choosing the album, you then have to sort by track number each time! If you do this, whenever you go back to the rest of your albums they then have all the track 1's first, then all the track 2's, and again you have to change what you sort by (Album Artist or Artist) to make them sensible again!
As you can imagine this is a pain! It happens with all my Various Artist albums, and various other DJ artists such as Mr. Scruff, and soundtrack albums, or record label compilations too!
The obvious possible answers to this problem are:
a) when sorting by the column "Album Artist" make it search secondarily, after Album Artist, by album then track number, then finally "(track) Artist" after that (in case there are no track numbers!).
b) make "artist" in the browser search by "Album Artist" not artist. This is what Windows Media Player does (even though it actually says "Artist" in the broswer), and goes by track "Artist" if there is nothing in the "Album Artist" tag field. it will then search by album and track number, but not Album artist followed by Artist. The browser could also be set to search in both Artist and Album Artist fields to save me having to go through all my 40+ compilations to find an album I know is by coldcut or Mr Scruff. If it did I could just turn "Browse by Compilation" off in preferences and get the same effect. Regardless to stop the wrong ordering it needs to not organise by Artist secondarily if I have it organised by album artist.
Whether the "Artist" in the broswer does Artist/Album Artist/or both could be set in preferences? Also this could change it to file in folders on the harddrive by Album Artist too. I'd far rather have my Coldcut, Jazzanova, & Mr. Scruff, etc. albums in Coldcut, Jazzanova, & Mr. Scruff directories, so when I browse my harddrive it's obvious who they are by rather than apparently being by "Compilation"!
Regardless iTunes should try to put things in the library view in order of Album and track number as much as possible when I have it organised by Album Artist. As mentioned I had been using WMP 10 & 11 beta until recently, but I changed as iTunes seems to work faster and smoother, and has the handy backup feature and seemless playback so I made the shift. The seamless playback made me instantly go to try DJ mix albums to hear them seamless, hence why I became frustrated very quickly!
Also I intend to get a Mac as my next computer so I won't have the option of WMP!
Another thing I noticed was the "Remember position" tag under the "get info" section when you have multiple selections. I wondered if this could change the order it plays them in but didn't seem to do anthing and can't find mention of it in the help or on the forum! What's that for?
If I'm being stupid and there's an easy way to make it work let me know, but I've tried as many things as I can think of, but I think it's reasonable not to have to keep changing the way everything is displayed in the library view to find an album and play it in the right order. I want it to work like the pile of CDs on my shelves and appear as I got them in the record store! If not Microsoft might have finally made something that seems to work in a more user friendly way than Apple, and that can't be right!
...as you can see I also pointed out that it might be nice to be able to get iTunes to file my Mr. Scruff, Coldcut, Jazzanova, etc. compilation/DJ albums on my hard drive by the Artist who released them (or by "various artists"); the same place I'd find them in the record shop I bought them from, and the main name on the album cover of the CD!
I DJ too (using Virtual DJ) and hence DO care about where I find these files on my hard drive, and would like to be able to find them based on the Album Artist! Also when I copy tunes over to my MP3 player, again I want them filed like the CDs I bought them on! I'm not just wingeing about this point for no reason. Obviously you don't care where they actually are stored on your HDD if it's only ever iTunes you play files with, and own an iPod where it automatically copies files for you, but it makes a big difference to me!

How to add ONE image as artwork for an entire album ?..

How do you add a single image as artwork for an entire album (i.e. without having redundant copies for each individual track).
I already know that iTunes has its own artwork system that allows for this, but this is not helpful if the album art is not in their database.
Thanks in advance.

Furthermore, if iTunes has erroneously downloaded an album cover for you that you want to change, you'll have to highlight the group of songs you wish to change and go to 'info'. Click on the 'album artwork' tab and delete the artwork that's there before adding your own, otherwise iTunes keeps both and only the first one will continue to show as the default.
If you want to download the correct album covers (or a different/cleaner/more accurate version) just go to the Images section of Google, type in the album name and copy the image of what you're looking for. No need to save the image, just copy and paste it. iTunes saves it on its own.

Configuring toplink.weaving="static": Cannot apply class transformer?

All,

        at com.sun.enterprise.web.HttpServiceWebContainer.service(HttpServiceWebContainer.java:2143) My expectation was that when toplink.weaving is set to "static",
EntityManagerFactoryProvider.createContainerEntityManagerFactory(EntityManagerFactoryProvider.java:208)should not call back into PersistenceUnitInfo to add a transformer, as none is needed at runtime any more...
Is this an issue with Spring's JPA module or with TopLink Essentials?
Thanks in advance & best regards,
Andreas

Citing from a mail by Tom Ware/Oracle:
"There is likely a bug in the static weaving code that attempts to add the transformer even though it will not be used. The reason we have not discovered this issue until now is that in most situations the fact that that transformer gets added despite the fact that we are statically weaving just gets ignored and the application functions. In Spring, apparently that is not the case."
So I have just created
https://glassfish.dev.java.net/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=3146
for this.issue.
Thanks for your help with this, Tom!
Best regards,
Andreas

No Artwork for all my albums :(

When I click on Get Album Artwork, it says processing album artwork and when its done, there is no artwork display!! can anyone tell me why?

Sometimes if you have a CD (not downloaded from iTunes) then the CD name will be different to what iTunes recognises as the album. Try going to the iTunes store, finding the album on there, then changing the album name to whatever it is called on iTunes.
To change the name of the album:
1. Right click on an album and select "Get info".
2. On the first tab, go to the Album edit box and enter the album name.

Cannot arrange/sort libraries manually in Aperture 3.1.3

Hi,
I cannot arrange/sort libraries manually in Aperture 3.1.3. In the Library pane I tried to drag and drop the libraries to keep them manually arranged, having selected "Manual" in the folder and general sorting options for libraries. The weird thing is it seems like I can move a library to some positions, but not all! Any suggestion?
Thanks,
Nic

Hi Nic. We're going to need some clarification of terms prior to resolving your issue. Aperture can load and show you only one Library at a time. What shows on the Library tab of the Inspector are all of the containers in your Library. There are two top-level containers by default. One is named after your Library, and contains the default Projects, Photos, Faces, Places, Flagged, & Trash. The other is named "PROJECTS & ALBUMS". It comes with a few default containers as well, and is where Aperture creates and stores all the containers you create.
Each of the different container types is identified by an icon.
Could you repost your question specifying the container types?

My Word for Mac 2011 repeatedly fails to display certain text boxes if I apply text changes. How can I view the invisible text?

I have Mac OS X 10.6.8. I recently had to download Office for Mac 2011, as my company mandated this over my objections. On the first 20-page Word file I received, the file looked fine until I applied track changes and made the first edit. At that point, 2 pages of text disappeared (the entire file was Calibri 11 size). The disappearing text was all in a couple of text boxes separate from the rest of the file. If I did a search, it would point to the white screen, but I could not view it except in Web layout, which is unsuitable for track changes. Unfortunately, all my supervisors say they can see the text that I cannot see.
I know that Word 2011 is notorious for not reading fonts, but this file is all in the same font/size. How can I see the hidden text before I lose my job?

Have you tried Word for Mac?
You will need to test if links survive export or printing to .pdf
