Changing cover art after book is in store

Hi - I used Book Creator to make my book -- it just went up today -- using the producer is it possible to change one's cover art? - -want to make the titiles bigger.  Thanks.

You’ll need to create a separate cover image and upload it to iTunes Producer. Use a tool like Photoshop or if you've created the book on your iPad you could just take a screenshot of your cover page and crop it.
The file must be a JPEG, PNG or TIFF file in RGB mode, (these are standard filetypes for images).
The image must also be a minimum of 1400px on its shortest side. It doesn’t matter if the cover art is landscape, portrait or square.

  • Can changes be made to the size of Cover Art after publication?

    Can anyone please advise me on how to change the size of the cover art on the published work already in the iBookstore?  It's showing up pretty small but when it's downloaded it's the proper size on the bookshelf.  Right now, it appears landscape and half the size of the other covers.  Any help is greatly appreciated!  I'm quite new to this.  It's my first book!

    Use iTunes Producer to look up the metadata for your book and then replace the cover image and resubmit.
    According to "Using iTunes Producer 2.6 for Books", you can update publication details except for the ISBN and the book type.
    And, according to "iBookstore: Publisher User Guide 2.0":
    If you discover errors in the EPUB file, book cover, pricing, clearances, or metadata, you can update them by simply redelivering via iTunes Producer.

  • Changing cover art

    There was recently a similar thread to this one where apparently the iTunes store was updating the cover art on tunes. Turning this option off in Preferences fixed the problem.
    However, I have a different problem. This Preference is turned off for me, and I'm seeing the problem with albums I have imported into iTunes from CDs or from downloads.
    The problem I am seeing is that if there is already cover art associated with a tune, there doesn't seem to be a way to replace it. If I drag a new image to the cover-art display in iTunes, it appears to "take" and the dialog that shows the selected tunes being updated displays as if the new artwork is being associated with the tunes. Even the image in the "Selected item" window for artwork shows the new artwork. But if I navigate away from the currently selected tunes, then back to any of them. the old artwork I was trying to replace reappears.
    Does anyone have a suggestion for how I can permanently replace artwork previously associated with tunes?
    Thanks,
    -P.

    I assume here you are talking about the podcast image, which appears on the iTunes Store page for your podcast? (Strictly, 'cover art' is the image embedded in the mp3 file which appears when you subscribe - just to be sure we are talking about the same thing).
    It may be that, having made the change, the Store will pick it up without any further intervention on your part: it may take a few days. If it doesn't work, then you should rename the image and reload it to a different location for example make a folder at the same level it originally was and place the renamed image in it): amend the feed accordingly and reupload it: again, it may take a few days to pick up.

  • View cover art wd book live nas iTunes

    Hi, i have bought a WD Book Live 3tb network storage device, i have transferred all of my itunes library to the NAS drive and because it has a itunes server, itunes detects it and i can play my files. All of my music have the cover art embedded into the files, because when i view them in the finder i can see the cover art. But when i am browsing my library through itunes none of the cover art shows up even though it is embedded into the files? can anybody help me get my cover art to show? thanks

    trial and error but i think i got it.. this worked for me running OS: 10.8.3, iTunes: 11.0.3
    On your computer hard drive (running your OS) go to your music folder in finder and "IF" u have a folder called "iTunes" rename it to iTunes2 or whatever u what don't matter.
    Create new iTunes by holding down opt key while opening iTunes. It will ask you to create or choose.  press "Create Library..."
    U will need to name…. save as: "iTunes" and the saved location HAS TO BE ON MAIN HARD DRIVE running your OS. This folder cant be saved to external hard drive ONLY MAIN HARD DRIVE and the name HAS to be "iTunes". It wont work with any other name
    If you have large music located on external drive then u will need to go to preferences on iTunes and change "iTunes Media folder location" to your desired location on your external and MAKE SURE TO CHECK BOTH BOXES... ( the actual "iTunes" folder containing Album Artwork, iTunes Library.itl, iTunes Library.xml ect has to be located on main hard drive running OS that the trick) 
    Adding media back to new iTunes--- so IF your original media is located on the main drive then go to the new "iTunes" folder that was created in your Music folder on main hard drive and there is a folder called "Automatically Add to iTunes"  all u do is just drag the folder holding all your original media to that folder called "Automatically Add to iTunes"and it will automatically move that original file and organize it to the new iTunes folder….So FYI  any media on the same disk will not get doubled when u add to folder it will only organize file but if it located on different disk and you drag file to " "iTunes Media folder location"" located on main hard drive then it will double that file
    Adding media to new iTunes if the original media is located on EXTERNAL drive----. Pretty much its the same but back on step 4 if you saved  "iTunes Media folder location" to external folder... then that folder has a folder called "iTunes Media folder location"" …. So if u add any media saved on that drive and drag to that folder it will just organize and move that original file only……
    So now in iTunes when u press "show in finder" for music it will show artwork and when u just search with finder it will show artwork for music file. Hope this help this issue bugged me for a long time apple tech was no help.. hope this works for others

  • Changing Cover Art for my podcast in iTunes music store

    I'm trying to figure out how to change my cover artwork that is in my already submitted podcast in the itunes music store. Anyone know how to do this?
    thanks for the help.
    the podcast is:
    http://phobos.apple.com/WebObjects/MZStore.woa/wa/viewPodcast?id=202795365
    (its nothing really big, just something for friends and family)

    I am also having this problem, still no solution?

  • ITunes won't retrieve cover art after CD import

    I am using iTunes 8.2 (current version). I have been using iTunes for years. Usually, once iTunes finishes importing my CD, it says it it getting the album artwork and poof it appears. Now after importing a CD, nothing happens. The only preference I can find that seems to address this is under "Store" and is a check box, stating "Automatically download missing album artwork." "Album artwork for songs which you imported into iTunes will be downloaded." That box is checked.
    Is there something in the new version that disabled getting album artwork for CDs I am importing? Is there a setting I overlooked?

    Try itunes menu > view > Always Show Artwork when you're in album list view.
    The default is off, which saves screen real estate when there's a bunch of singles.

  • Iphone 5s lost cover art after upgrading to ios8

    Upgraded-> gone (it really bothers me but i suppose I could live with if I have to)

    Hi,
    Last night i upgraded to 8.0.2 and in the upgrade they didn't mention anything about the battery performance improvement. Everything else was answered except that. I upgraded and still it's the same with battery. battery is dying very fast. Is there anyone listening in apple? I've seen number of posts regarding the same and it wasn't addressed in the new update.

  • Can't change album art in iTunes 11.

    I have iTunes 11 on a mac with all up to date software, I can't find a way to change cover art for albums, I can do it for individual songs but that's not enough. Any suggestions?

    Brij011: You can have both individual track artwork and album art together in iTunes 11. It's easier to start with the album art (as you describe) and then open each track individually and drag the track artwork into Artwork portion of info. From there, you can rearrange the artwork to either show each track piece when the track is playing or to show the album artwork (whichever one is first in order will be displayed in the playing dialoge at the top of iTunes or with tools like Bowtie). It's a pain and much more difficult than it was <11, but it still works.
    To the OP: I don't know how to change the default album artwork anymore in 11. It seems like it just pulls the first piece of artwork from the first track on the album, so if you're leading with track artwork in your Get Info box, then the album artwork will end up being the art from the first track.
    Like others who have large iTunes collections and place a high level of importance on album artwork, I'm really disappointed that Apple has left us behind in favor of casual users. Here's to hoping that they re-introduce full artwork management in 11.1. 

  • Help! Can I change cover after creating my book?

    I just finished my first photo book, but I didn't realize until I went to buy that I had not selected the cover. I took the default. I can't find any way to ONLY change the cover. I like everything else. Do I really have to create a new book and re-edit all those photos?
    Thanks for your help.

    You may not have to start over. First select the book and type Command+D. That will duplicate the book. Open the second copy and go the to Theme button at the bottom. Click on it and select the soft cover size of book you want. You'll get a warning that you might lose some text but go ahead and try. I've had good luck switching between types and not losing text. If it works you're home free.
    TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto (iPhoto.Library for iPhoto 5 and earlier) database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
    I've created an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger or later), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. It's compatible with iPhoto 6 and 7 libraries and Tiger and Leopard. iPhoto does not have to be closed to run the application, just idle. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.≤br>
    Note: There now an Automator backup application for iPhoto 5 that will work with Tiger or Leopard.

  • Why doesn't my podcast cover art show in store but appears in iTunes library after I subscribe?

    My podcast cover art is not showing up in the iTunes store: https://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/liberation-radio/id591038133
    As soon as I subscribe via iTunes on my computer and look at the podcast in the Library, the cover art is there. I can't figure out what's wrong. The image is 1400x1400. The original feed submitted to iTunes is here: http://feeds.feedburner.com/LiberationRadio
    Can anyone assist? Thanks in advance!

    Great, that explains it. We had moved the image to a new URL and actually updated the original feed that we input into Feedburner with that URL ... but we also had Feedburner Smartcast turned on which creates its own iTunes tags and overrides any that may already be in the feed, and the image URL in Smartcast there was the old one.
    In any case, we not only updated Feedcast Smartcast with the correct image URL, but we also put a copy of the image at the old URL so that even the URL presently used by iTunes should work.
    Any idea how long it takes for the store to update the cover art? Anything we can do to expedite it?
    Thanks!

  • My Cover Art on Self Published Book Appears Small on Library Shelf

    I self published using Producer. Everything went well except I do not have the right dimensions for the cover art. It downloads to the bookshelf from Itunes and the book appears miniature next to the other books in my library. How do I remedy this? What are the proper dimensions? I made my cover using Keynote and then exported to Iphoto as a JPEG and then made it the cover. The dimensions as a jpeg were something like 720 x 1200 - more than the recommended minimum.

    My experience is that for automatic artwork look up, the two pieces of info that must match exactly are Artist name and Album name. If you changed any of those two, that might be the issue.
    And it can be somewhat subtle. For example, I couldn't figure out why a "Mighty Mighty Bosstones" album wouldn't get the artwork when I could see the album in the store. Turns out that I was missing the leading "The" from the group name. Adding that in to create "The Mighty Mighty Bosstones" solved that one.
    Other times I have found very slight differences in album titles especially with punctuation and articles (the, and, etc.). For example, AND vs. &, or titles like (just making up a title off the top of my head) "Joe Blow Greatest Hits" vs. "Joe Blow - Greatest Hits" (Note the added DASH in there).
    I have found that if I go to the store, highlight the line of one of the songs on the album, do a COPY then open Text Edit, Notepad, etc. and paste it will paste in the entire line of info (it doesn't seem to allow you to just highlight and copy the artist or title), then highlight the artist name or album title, again do a COPY, then go back to iTunes, select the album, Get Info and paste in the version you just copied which WILL match iTunes version.
    Best of luck,
    Patrick

  • HT2729 When I updated my apple phones with IOS7, the music videos can no longer be viewed in widescreen mode on the phone. When I turn the phone horizontal to see a bigger viewing of the video, album cover art pops up. Any idea how to change that? I hate

    After the IOS7 updates, when we are viewing music videos on my phones I can no longer turn the phone horizontal to see a bigger viewing of the video. I can only see it widescreen in vertical mode which is much smaller. Now when you turn it sideways, it pops up album cover art and I hate that. Is there a way to fix that?

    We are just users like you and don't know why Apple does what it does. This is not a place to "vent," it is a place to ask technical questions. As of now there is no way to change or modify the way these folders appear in Windows Explorer. You can provide feedback to Apple about this issue at this link: http://www.apple.com/feedback

  • How do I change the cover art in my podcast?

    iTunes sent out an announcement that the standard for cover art for podcasts had changed.  My podcast is linked to my blog which was set up with Blogger.  I don't know how to change the title cover art.  I recently added another episode of my podcast and that showed up properly and quickly in iTunes.  But where and how do I modify the title image?  I have a replacement image ready--but don't know what to do with it to get it matched with my podcast in iTunes. I'm not particularly sophisticated about this stuff--so can someone walk me thru what i need to do?

    If you are using  iBooks Author, the cover is put together in the book title page, which is the first page in the list on the left-hand side.

  • Most cover art disappeared after syncing

    I just put a few more CDs onto my iTunes, and after I synced my iPod, all the cover art except for the few CDs I just added disappeared from the iPod. It's all still in my iTunes though. All pictures for video are gone too, but my photos still work fine. (The iPod is a Classic 160 GB)
    Thoughts? Ideas?

    I was having a similar problem. For me it happens only with ripped tracks not available through iTunes. My solution was to uncheck “Automatically download missing album artwork” on the General Tab under Preferences.
    Once I unchecked it, the disappearing covers stopped happening. Although it was an intermittent problem, it's now been 5 months since I changed it and I haven't lost any artwork.
    This solution also has one obvious drawback. While iTunes purchased music is still downloaded with cover art, once you uncheck the "automatically download missing album artwork" box, music you rip and then import into iTunes won't have cover art. My take is I'd rather add cover art once when I import a song, then constantly have to re add random batches of artwork.
    All I can figure is that when you have "get artwork" checked, iTunes goes through your library and replaces all artwork added by hand because it doesn't recognize either the file type or naming convention. For the most part we don't notice it, but when it hits a song it doesn't own the rights too, blam, gonzo.
    Further proof that iTunes doesn't recognize or like the hand added cover art is that I had a song that iTunes automatically downloaded the wrong cover art for (van halen 1 instead of 2). I fixed it with the right cover from Amazon but I noticed it changed back to the wrong cover about a week later.
    I have a couple of blog entries about this problem that go into further detail, check them out here:

  • My master cover art for "The Circus Life Podcast" isn't showing up in the store, only the podcast library.  Can anyone help?

    I just uploaded my new podcast, "The Circus Life Podcast" to iTunes via Libsyn.  The master artwork for the show itself is not showing up in the store, only the library in the podcast app once you have subscribed.  Me and my partner can't for the life of us figure out what to do.  The RSS feed was submitted and approved over a week ago and still the artwork isn't show.  Can anyone help?

    Yes I work at libsyn.   rob (at) libsyn (dot) com.
    Below are specs from Apple for artwork.  They don't mention the 500kb limit - but it seems at least for .jpg images - any we have seen issues with that meet all the other requirement are over 500 kb - and lowering the file size was able to get them working.
    But per CMYK - that definitely will not work on the iTunes store.  Change your artwork to RGB - get the file size down below 500kb - and reupload to libsyn - with a new file name and your artwork should show up in 1 to 5 days.

    <itunes:image>
    This tag specifies the artwork for your podcast. Put the URL to the image in the href attribute. iTunes prefers square .jpg images that are at least 1400x1400 pixels, which is different from what is specified for the standard RSS image tag. In order for a podcast to be eligible for an iTunes Store feature, the accompanying image must be at least 1400x1400 pixels.
    iTunes supports images in JPEG and PNG formats with an RGB color space (CMYK is not supported). The URL must end in ".jpg" or ".png". If the <itunes:image> tag is not present, iTunes will use the contents of the RSS image tag.
    If you change your podcast’s image, also change the file’s name. iTunes may not change the image if it checks your feed and the image URL is the same. The server hosting your cover art image must allow HTTP head requests for iTS to be able to automatically update your cover art.
    Spend some time developing an attractive, original image that represents your podcast well. Potential subscribers will see it on your podcast’s page and a much smaller version of the image in search results and feature placements. Make sure your design is effective in both sizes.
    The <itunes:image> tag is also supported at the episode level. For best results, we recommend using the <itunes:image> tag at the item level as well as embedding the same art within the media file’s metadata. To embed art within an individual episode’s metadata using iTunes, select the episode and choose Get Info from the File menu. Click the Artwork tab. Then click Add, navigate to and select the image file, and click Choose.
