Exporting (dragging) Cover Art from iTunes just makes a picture clipping?

I have dragged cover art JPGs to songs in iTunes. Now I want to drag them back out to the desktop as JPGs. This used to be possible, but now I only get a picture clipping that I can't open with any other program than the Finder. Any ideas? I just want to be able to get certain covers out of iTunes as JPGs.

A neat trick I discovered is to control+click on the art in the view/show art window. It will then let you copy (and paste) art to an album or song there. You can also do that to and from other applications. For all I know you might be able to drag it to Photoshop.

  • Bridge for Mac without cover arts from iTunes

    Hello,
    I just upraded to Sony Bridge for Mac 3.9 (3903) and since then no cover art from iTunes albums is displayed any more.
    Previous Version of the Bridge had already some difficulties with Cover Art, mainly regarding TIFF-images. But now
    nothing at all is displayed.
    Of course I have restarted the application as well as the Mac itself - no change of the behaviour occured.
    Do I still have any options to try?
    with best regards
    Matthias
    Solved!

    Hello,
    I have mostly MP3-Files in my iTunes library (90%). Even purchased songs are converted to MP3 because of the higher compression, even with 160 kbit/s and VBR. But I think regarding coverart the graphics format is more important. Here native Apple cover art seems to be generally TIFF, which sometimes makes problems with Bridge for Mac, esp. larger images. If I convert those large TIFF-images to JPEG, the problems disappear most of the times.
    And "Yes", I sent a bug report to SONY directly.
    Thank you very much - Matthias

  • Copying cover art from iTunes for use in iPhoto?

    I have a large music library with cover art for each album, I manually added the cover art to iTunes by saving it as a .jpeg under the name of the artist and album on the desktop and dragging and dropping it into the appropriate album in iTunes. I then apparently erred by deleting the .jpeg from the desktop rather than saving it in a separate folder. When I look in the Album Artwork folder, it just leads me down a road of more folders and ultimately to an ".itc" cover (which I assume to mean iTunes Cover). Now I want to somehow get a .jpeg copy of the cover art back out of iTunes and into a separate folder so I can view the cover art in iPhoto. Is this possible?   I really hope my error is reversible. All assistance will be appreciated.

    Hi,
    I'm pretty new to FCE, so this might be useless. But I've found a trick (obtained from "Final Cut Express 2 Editing Workshop" by Tom Wolsky) which is to render audio at Item Level. It allows you to render a piece of music to the same sampling level as another item.
    It seems to work fine, but some of these guys who've used this more might know of problems when using it.
    Import your song from the Music folder (or wherever you have them stored) and just go into the Sequence/Render All or Render Selection menus and check the "Item Level." The next time you render your audio, it should render to the same properties as existing items in your project.
    At least, that's how I gather it works. This won't help with copy protected songs as the guys mentioned, but the majority of my songs are not from the iTunes store, so it's useful to me. Hope that helps!

  • Printing cover art from iTunes albums

    Back in the days of Jaguar it used to be easy to print album art work from music purchased from iTunes Store. It was just the right size for a jewel case. Now with Tiger I can select the art work, copy it to a word processing app, and print it, but it is WAY too large and I can't reduce it enough to be the right size. There must be a way. Would appreciate your help! Thanks in advance.

    Have you selected a track from the album whose artwork you want to print? When you do that, he album cover should appear in the left-hand column, below your playlists (provided you've hit the Show Artwork button at the bottom). Then the print command should be active. (If this isn't happening, I'm stumped.)

  • Missing cover art from iTunes on iPhone

    Some of the albums on my iPhone (bought via iTunes) are missing their cover art. On my iMac all the albums in iTunes have their cover art. When I sync the iPhone on my iMac, the cover art doesn't update on the iPhone! The iPhone iTunes cover art used to be there, some of them were even bought from iTunes while on the iPhone.
    Can anyone please please let me know how I can update all the cover art for albums on my iPhone?

    I remember reading about something similar on the AT & T forum, http://forums.wireless.att.com/cng/board/message?board.id=apple&message.id=94023 &query.id=478736#M94023

    Hey Two Wolves,
    Thanks for the question. Yes, you can still add your own Album Artwork to music in iTunes:
    iTunes 11 for Windows: Add artwork to songs and other items
    http://support.apple.com/kb/PH12361
    Add artwork to music and video
    Do any of the following:
    - Add artwork to one item at a time:
              1. Select an item in your iTunes library and choose File > Get Info.
              2. Click Artwork and do one of the following:
                        - Click Add, select an image file, and click Open.
                        - Drag the art file to the artwork area.
              3. To add artwork to another item, click Next or Previous.
    - Add the same artwork to multiple items: Select the items, choose File > Get Info, click Info, and drag an image file to the Artwork area.
    - Retrieve album artwork for songs in your library from the iTunes Store: Control-click the songs and choose Get Album Artwork from the pop-up menu.
    Thanks,
    Matt M.

  • Update embedded Album Art from iTunes Store?

    Missing Album Art is automatically added to my iTunes library. Excellent!
    But I have a large number of albums/songs with embedded album art of low quality (200x200). Is there a way to update these without having to manually delete the old Album Art for each song individually?
    Is there a way to embed the album art from iTunes into the mp3-files instead of storing them externally (in the iTunes Album Art directory?) Probably not........

    Is there a way to update these without having to manually delete the old Album Art for each song individually?
    Well, you don't have to do it individually -- you can select all the songs for which you want to delete, right-click and select "Get Info", then check the Artwork box, then click OK. This will delete all the artwork for those songs (permanently!)
    Is there a way to embed the album art from iTunes into the mp3-files instead of storing them externally (in the iTunes Album Art directory?)
    I have a script to do just that. You have to download it first (say, to your Desktop)
    http://teridon.googlepages.com/itunesinsertartwork.vbs
    Then you have to run it using the Command Prompt:
    1) Bring up a command prompt (Start..All Programs..Accessories..Command Prompt)
    2) Enter these commands:<pre>cd Desktop
    cscript itunesinsertartwork.vbs</pre>
    3) Select the playlist (or select the whole Library with "1") which contains the songs for which you want to embed the artwork.
    NOTE:Embedding artwork will cause your files to take up more hard drive space because for downloaded artwork iTunes only needs one copy. Embedding the artwork makes a copy of the artwork for every song with that artwork. Artwork files from the iTMS are typically 400-500 KB each.

    Hello Achates:
    I did not read the rather long post. If you wish to reinstall OS X 10.4, use your software install DVD. Backup is essential. To minimize your risk, I would use an archive and install:
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=107120
    In that way, you will have a fresh copy of OS X and your current settings will be preserved.
    Incidentally, I do not agree that the printer problem is best solved by reinstalling OS X. I have had HP printers for sometime and, on one occasion, had difficulty after an upgrade. HP technical support walked me through uninstalling all traces of the HP driver and then reinstalling.

  • HT1473 How may one add cover art in iTunes 11, for a CD imported to the library? How may one add more than one images?

    How may one add cover art in iTunes 11, for a CD imported to the library?
    How may one add more than one images?

    I understand what you mean - I too, would like to see some variability in the 'default'. Besides having a single default, I would step that up to a default that changes with genre and media: ie. I could see using a sax for Jazz; a microphone for a Podcast, etc.
    I don't have the answer to your question yet, but I think I'm going to crack open the iTunes package to see what default images there are embedded in there.

    I have not tried that...I will look up the process so that I can do it correctly (and still transfer all of my files, contacts, etc).  Any suggestions?  What is the advantage of restoring as a new device..is this more akin to a complete wipe of a hard drive?

  • I am reformatting and rebuilding my Win 7 computer.  How do I export all the settings from iTunes so I can import them into my new install?

    I need to rebuild my computer which has iTunes synced with my iPhone and iPad.  How do I export all the settings from iTunes so I can import them into the new install and not have to go through all the setup again?  My music library is my own and on a NAS drive so not going to lose it.  I am mainly concerned about setup parameters.  Thank you for any assistance.

    There's nothing to export.
    The iTunesLibrary.itl file contains all the settings, playlists, and playcounts.
    Copy or backup all your important files including the ENTIRE iTunes folder, then restore all your data including the ENTIRE iTunes folder once the system is formatted and rebuilt/reloaded.

  • IPhone album art from iTunes not downloading

    Recently, I have not been able to get my album art from iTunes to download to my phone. It appears in my iTunes on my computer, but will not transfer. It also will not appear on my phone when I purchase the music FROM my phone, but appears in my computer's iTunes. I've reset my phone, but the problem continues. This problem has only been happening for about the last two months and I've had my phone over a year. (iPhone 4, Verizon)

    the album covers are fine on itunes on my computer, but on my iphone they don't work. as in, when I sync my iphone to itunes, it switches the covers around to different covers. it seems to be random.

  • Dragging cover art wont work. iTunes rejects it!

    I want to get artwork for the music i bought on cd and downloaded to my ipod but iTunes rejects it! why even buy the 6th gen if u cant see the album covers anyways. its really rediculous because i bought the songs but i dont wanna buy them twice! Why do they do this? I buy iTunes music all the time and i think i should be able to put whatever cover art i want on it. i hate that dumb music note!

    What are you doing exactly?  Where are you dragging this artwork from? Have you tried saving a local copy on your machine and then using the Add button to browse out and select the artwork?

  • Can i just take the album art from itunes store w/out buying

    ???
    can i just copy paste?

    Hi chaps,
    I'm a bit fussing about my album art, like to have all my tunes with their respective covers on my nano!
    Anyway, I use a program called iTunes Art Importer, which runs alongside iTunes (although 3rd party, not Apple).
    Its dead simple to use, it pulls the art from Amazon. Just highlight your track (or tracks)and click search. I find using the "overide search text" works really well for not so well known music, just keep the search simple.
    Anyway, here's the link, it's free, give it a try!
