Deleting Album Art? I need the space for music!!!

So, how does one delete the album art from one's iPhone? I don't mind having it in iTunes, but don't have the space for it on my iPhone.
My iTunes library is at 22 GB (and growing, of course) and so space is at a premium.

You can do this but it will greatly complicate your syncing experience. Only way I know to do this is to delete album art in iTunes then re-sync with the iPhone. This will replace the songs on the iPhone with copies that don't have album art. The, back in iTunes, re download all your album art. Unfortunately, the next time you sync the iPhone, iTunes will again try to replace the files on the iPhone with new ones that have album art. As you can see, this could get to be a very big hassle.

    is there a way to NOT synch album artwork - I'd rather save the space for music...I have an Ipod Nano 4GB (yes it's old)

    This is the iPod Touch forum.
    Note that the artwork associated with your albums is probably less than 1% of the size of your media files themselves.

  • It seems itunes is doubling the space for music?

    I have copied 80g of music to itunes, but somehow it shows under "about this mac" that 150g of music is stored on HD. I have eliminated all double entries in itunes, no effect still.
    Has anyone encountered a similar thing?
    Thanks,

    I believe this is the problem because I have noticed that when I delete a song from my iTunes it asks if you want to delete the song from the library or delete the song and move the file to the trash. When I choose delete the song and move the file to the trash, my original source file usually located in a folder in the User/Music folder is still present while there is a file with the same size in my trash. I can then empty the trash and still hold on to the original file. I may be wrong and there may be another reason for this, but because of the way this process works it leads me to believe that a file is duplicated in to the iTunes Library.

  • HT201302 I am trying to clear space on our iPad. If I delete photos and videos on the iPad, will they remain saved on our iCloud account?  Need the space, don't want to lose the photos!

    I am trying to clear space on our iPad. If I delete photos and videos on the iPad, will they remain saved on our iCloud account?  Need the space, don't want to lose the photos!

    They will be backed up only until you backup again. iCloud is not a storage drive in the sky, it is a backup service only. If you delete the photos and videos from the camera roll, and then you backup the iPad with iCloud, you will overwrite that backup and the photos will be gone.
    Import the photos to your computer if they are that important to you. iCloud is for backup only, not a storage place that you can download your photos from again once you overwrite that backup.

  • HT201269 I loaded photos from my motorola phone on to my 4s.  Now I can't delete the motorola pictures and I need the space.  suggestions?

    In the sync process, I loaded photos from my Motorola smartphone on to my iphone 4s.  I can delete photos taken with the iphone but I cannot delete the photos loaded from the Motorola.  I need the space.  suggestions?

    Photos that have been put on the iPhone via the sync process can only be removed the same way. You need to connect the phone to iTunes, select the device in the device pane, select the photos tab, remove the checkmark by the photos that you want to remove and then sync.

  • My LR previews data file has just gone over 50GB, how can I shrink it as I really need the space on my laptop?

    My LR previews data file has just gone over 50GB, how can I shrink it as I really need the space on my laptop?

    Or if you don't want to delete all of it, you can just discard 1:1 previews using Library->Previews menu - that may or may not buy you the space you need.
    If you do opt for deleting the whole thing, here is an idea to keep it from going back to 50G: change the size/quality of standard previews and/or the policy for auto-removing 1:1 previews (Lr Preferences -> Catalog Settings -> File Handling).

  • Why is my album art downloading to the wrong music?

    When I am syncing my iPhone, I am getting an error (-54) at times. I am also seeing the wrong album art downloading with the incorrect music. Whenever I use a song for my alarm, I see music that I do not have checked to be on my phone showing up and it always has the wrong album art. Please advise. Thank you so much!

    The only way I was able to get the album art correct was to hook my iPod up to my laptop and then go into iPod Preferences and check the box that says hide Album art. I then updated my iPod and all my album art was wiped off my iPod. The next step is to go back into preferences for the iPod and enable album art again and the next time I updated...BINGO, all my artwork was put back correctly. It took a little work but I'm happy with it!

  • Firstly, I can't open iPhoto on my macbook as of a few days and could it have anything to do with a problem I have updating my iPhone's software as I've downloaded extra iCloud storage but I still can't get the iPhone to recognise the space for software

    No. With the amount of information you've provided it's impossible to offer a potential solution.  We can't see your computer so we need to know the details of your problem and setup, i.e.:
    what version of iPhoto are you using?
    what system version are you running?
    what do you see when iPhoto opens?
    what fixes have you tried?
    where is your library located?
    did you apply any updates or upgrades just prior to the problem occurring?
    are you running a "managed" or "referenced" library?
    what type of Mac?
    how much free space on your boot drive?
    For the iPhone issue ask in the iPhone forum.

  • Time Machine deleted my first backup to make space for a new one, is there anyway to recover it?!?!

    So I had all my stuff backed up to December 23 on an external hard drive with Time Machine, then I deleted it all so that the next automatic backup didn't have any of these older files. Today Time Machine deleted my original backup to make space for a new one and so I lost Decemer 23, now I am screwed..HELP?? I accidently let it delete or something, I don't really know, I know this was just a series of mistakes and now I'm desparate ):

    Have a look at this article http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1427 and section "backup drive fills up".
    It's a normal behavior that Time Machine is deleting oldest backups when drive is filling up.

  • Can you get the album art to fill the screen?

    1)Is it possible to get the album art to fill the screen on the nano?
    2)If you make the gif more widescreen in dimensions will it fill more of the screen at the sides?

    1) If you press twice on the 'select' button, the pic will fill the screen. However, it only stays for a couple of seconds. I don't think you can make it permanent.
    2) No, it is being compressed in iTunes to fit their pre-defined square shape. I haven't seen any settings which would enable you to play with that.

  • Up loading album art work from the net problem

    Just recently, I keep getting " unknown error - 609 " every time I go for up loading album art work from the net. This applies to all the albums not just the really obscure ones ! and its just the art work because I can still get all the track listings.

    Actually I experienced the same thing but it's not an issue of missing artwork in the wi fi store. The reason I say this is that when initially purchased the artwork showed fine on the device.
    After syncing it also shows fine in ITunes. When checking the device again though, it seems to display random art from the library for that track. In cover flow, if not the center image, i displays what i can best describe as a color static image in the place of the album art.

    FYI: POP will by default, delete messages from the server after downloading them (This applies to most pop clients, computer or mobile). POP is old tech and is not recommended if IMAP or Exchange are available. The default when setting up a g-mail type account is IMAP. Full synchronization with the server. You may also be able to set it up as an Exchange account, allowing for push e-mail and sync of calendars and contacts as well. See the Gmail help pages for instructions.
