Finding iTunes Album Artwork

I am running Mac Os 1.5.4 and iTunes 7.6.9. I just got a screen saver and would like to use my album artwork as the folder for it to take pictures from. Unfortunately, all of my Artwork is embedded in the file and is not from iTunes. So I was wondering if there was a way to extract all of the Artwork and put it into a folder while keeping the Art in the files embedded. Thanks!

Are you trying to say you want to use your album artwork as your screensaver? This is very easy to do & you don't have to do anything in the way of extracting artwork, etc. On your Mac, open system preferences>desktop/screensaver, click on the screensaver tab at the top. Once there, in the left hand pane, click on the drop down arrow next to Apple, & choose album artwork from that list. I have my album artwork setup as my screensaver using these settings & it works beautifully, didn't have to do anything with the stored files.

"If the content doesn't exist in iTunes then you can'd load artwork."
If not in the iTunes Store, iTunes uses the Graceland database for artwork and tag info.

Can I merge or combine 2 "album artwork" folders? I have saved music onto an external server from 2 computers but the artwork that I have manually imported remains in the default folder in the music/itunes/album artwork folder on the respective PCs. Thx

Can I merge or combine 2 "album artwork" folders? I have saved music onto an external server from 2 computers but the artwork that I have manually imported remains in the default folder in the music/itunes/"album artwork" folder on their respective PCs.
i.e. artwork uploaded on one PC won't apppear on the other PC because it is saved locally...
I'm confident that i won't beable to just merge the 2 because thy'll have the same folder names.
On the same note: can I have iTunes create these files on the external server/Hard drive also so that either computer can use them at the same time?
(like I have my library- can the other files be saved remotely)
Thx

i'm using iTunes 10 BTW

How can I find the image file for iTunes album artwork?

I know how to see the image, how to search for album artwork on the web, and how to save a new or different image. However, I want to be able to find specific images in Finder that are already connected with an album. I am not able to zero in on it. All I find is a collection of folders.

These things accesible by control clicking (or right clicking with a multibutton mouse) are what are known as contextual menus and are incredibly powerful timesavers. Try control clicking on things and see what you find.

How Can I sync iTunes album artwork with album folders on my Mac

Small Issue,
I just got a new macbook pro and uploaded copied the iTunes music folder from my PC, to an external hard drive then to the "music" folder in the Finder on my Mac. I then went into iTunes and added my library via the "add music" link (or something like that)
All the music upload and most of the album artwork was missing. I clicked "Get Album Artwork" and it replaced most of the album artwork
Here is the issue I need help with...
Some of the albums, which have album artwork inside iTunes, do not have album artwork if I go to the album folder in the finder. Is there anyway to get this artwork to sync up with the folder?
I ask because, I am kinda anal and like the artwork to show up if I play a song from the spotlight (I like playing music that way)
Am I going to have to manually add the album artwork into the finder folders?

Hi bill,
Here's an Apple Support article that tells you how to restore your IOS device from a previous backup on iTunes:

Hope this helps!

ITunes Album Artwork Problem. Help?

I recently installed iTunes onto my new laptop, and the album artwork for all my songs comes out slightly discolored, in that it is a hue of pink. What's even stranger is that the album artwork seen on the bottom left corner shows the artwork in it's right colors. I've tried to calibrate the colors on my screen in my settings, but nothing seems to be working. Oh, and my new laptop is running on Windows 8. Help?
P.S. Don't mind my choice of music, I was helping my little sister put music on her iPhone :3

Here's the Apple article on that
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1815
The important line is "If the data matches, iTunes will download the album artwork".
What it doesn't say is, "if the Apple database is wrong, you'll get the wrong artwork".
Try getting the correct cover for +Led Zeppelin I+ - impossible. They had Mothership listed under Lead Zeppelin for a while.
I agree with the other comment; just get those 40 covers from somewhere else, rather than find out how it is listed in the Apple database.

Itunes - album artwork

so i've got a lot of clubland (compilation) albums
when i add them to the Itunes library they add as, for example, clubland 18 [disc 1], etc...
therefore, when i login to my itunes store account and click get album artwork, itunes can't seem to find the artwork for my compilation albums with more than 1 disc
is there a way around this, or can itunes not recognise [disc 1] etc... ?
cheers for your time

What I found when ripping CD's into iTunes, it must be a "perfect "match to what is on the iTunes store. The workaround I use is: See how the artist and title are listed in the iStore. Go back to iTunes, highlight all the songs on that Disc, right click, choose get info. change album title to EXACTLY what the iStore has (including any punctuation). Then download the artwork. You can repeat to change back the title afterward, and will not loose the artwork. This workaround works for me. Good luck

How to create iTunes album artwork

I'd like to know how to create a 600 X 600 resolution album artwork file for the Cd's that I don't have the artwork for and that I can't find. I woud like to scan them and then create these high resolution images for these.
I know that the 600 X 600 measurement is what the itunes store uses.
Any help would be apprecaited.
Thanks

Nope. Didn't do it. Thanks for the suggestion though.
The problem that also exists, which I didn't mention, but because of your suggestion i am now, is that the artwork downloaded by iTunes does not appear in the artwork window of the Get Info window. So, only the album artwork i am pasting in there appears.... Very frustrating....

How does iTunes Album Artwork work in iTunes 8? Is store artwork embedded?

I know that with music I add artwork to manually, the artwork is written to the ID3 tags of the music, embedded.
I want to know if with iTunes 8, is artwork obtained from the iTunes store also written? I suspect so because in Finder, the quicklook preview of purchased music show the album art.
If so, hooray!
If not, how do I write them in permanently so they stick on whatever computer/device i copy them to?

Artwork that is found and added through iTunes is not embedded. You would need to cut and paste the artwork into the Get Info box or by using third party tagging software in order to embed it.
It's possible that there exists a script to take the iTunes added artwork and embed it. You might try looking at Doug's Scripts:

Best of luck.

ITunes Album Artwork weirdness...

So, I've been spending quite a bit of time weeding out and reorganizing my music library, one category at a time, eliminating lo-res files, duplicates, and replacing missing album artwork. The other night, I finished with the Classical category, and proudly browsed and listened my way through all the shiny clean files. Everything was copacetic, each album correctly named and with it's proper artwork assigned. On several dozen of the albums I had myself assigned the artwork by googling the correct image and copying it into the album's artwork field. So far , so good...
Today, I opened the classical library again and noticed that many albums are once again missing their artwork. Many of the ones missing are those that I manually assigned. Bummer! Had to do it all over again. So now I'm wondering:
Beyond copying and pasting artwork into a song or album's "Artwork" field, is there anything else that needs to be done to make it stick beyond the currently open iTunes session?
Could the programming of the iTunes preference: to "Automatically Download Missing Artwork" have anything to do with the fact that primarily user-assigned artwork is "vanished"? Something to the effect of "If cannot find in <artwork database> then set "Album Artwork" to value=False...? Therefore, is it perhaps better to just leave it unchecked?
Note that the files in question are not pirated material - they were purchased either as downloads through Amazon and Deutsche Grammophon, or ripped (using iTunes!) from original CDs. The Amazon/DG downloads always came with artwork, which seemed to have vanished when the files were added to the iTunes Library...
I'd like to try and get this resolved before I proceed with the other categories. Call me obsessive if you will, but I happen to like browsing my music using the cover-art - it reminds me of the good old days . Thanks in advance for any suggestions, -o

The download folder holds images that have been downloaded from the iTunes store and associated with various files on your computer. Depending on how you embedded the images into your MP3's these might be in addition or you may be mistake in your belief that all your files have embedded images. If you delete the download folder any files whose image comes solely from the download folder will lose its artwork, however this can always be reacquired.
The cache folder is just that, a cache. If you delete this folder iTunes will rebuild it as and when necessary as it tries to display art for your various albums.
Very occasionaly these caches may become corrupt and removing them is the way to rebuild them. I've no idea how efficent iTunes is at garbage collection, so it is also possible that over time there could be redundant information held therein. Again, deleting the folders would result in them being rebuilt from scratch but if you are concerned they might be taking up too much room you can always delete and see what happens. How big is your media folder? Size and quality will have a bearing on how much memory the cache requires but I get an overhead of about 0.5% for my artwork folder, so a 500mb artwork cache would suggest your library is around 100Gb.

ITunes Album Artwork Help?

Hello fellow Mac users I have a question for you. But first let me tell you my story of why I am asking this question. I have a Black MacBook Upgraded to fastest RAM for the Best Memory, and of course I use iTunes, So I have purchased a few albums off of iTunes and I have uploaded a few also. So the albums I got from iTunes I have the artwork. But on the Albums that I purchased the CD I do not have the artwork except for one that is Aerosmith's Devils Got A New Disguise. But I have no idea why I have that Albums artwork? I did not buy it on iTunes? So the Albums that I do not have the artwork for are Thin Lizzy and Hannah Montana/Miley Cyrus 2 Album, I have tried clicking "Get Album Artwork" but I just get a message saying that Artwork was unfindable. So can any Mac "Pros" help me?
I was wondering if there is a way that I could find I picture of the Album covers an just Drag and Drop them where they need to go?

Never mind you can drag and drop. Sorry everyone

ITunes album artwork - how can I stop iTunes downloading the wrong artwork?

I was delighted to see that in the upgraded iTunes there is a facility to download album artwork using, I presume, much the same methodology as downloading track listings.
While my experience of downloading track listings has largely been OK - save for the odd niggle; my experience of the artwork function has been appalling.
Firstly, any release that is territory specific, e.g. UK only, or compilations, downloads the wrong artwork or no artwork at all. But also, the wrong artwork is attributed for classic albums by established acts. E.g. Genesis' Duke, downloads the artwork for Three Sides Line. Also, I have two Led Zeppelin albums and in each case, the art work downloaded was for the cheesy tribute group DREAD Zeppelin!!
Can anyone from Apple comment on this?
Also, if I manually insert the correct artwork; will this be overwritten if in the future I scan for updated artwork across my music collection? I have 65GB+ music on my hard drive, so that is an awful lot of album covers to get through!
Thanks,
A

Manually added album art will not be overwritten.

Itunes album artwork problem on 11.4.0.18

Recently after the update to iTunes 11.4.0.18 I've noticed my album artwork not displaying correctly for some albums. They appear jumbled, but only the album thumbnail. I'm running Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit, with an AMD processor & 8GB of RAM.
If you right click on a song in an album that appears to have a jumbled thumbnail, and click on Get Info, the album artwork appears perfectly fine in the summary tab as well as the artwork tab. I've tried deleting the artwork then choosing get artwork for that particular album. In most cases this has worked, with a few giving a message that artwork could not be found. I've tried copying the artwork from the Get Info>Artwork tab, deleting it, then pasting it again and this also seems to take care of the problem when viewing the album thumbnail. It's just crazy having to do this for each and every album that is displaying a jumbled artwork thumbnail.
Anyone come across this in v11.4.0.18? Is there an easier way to fix this thumbnail problem than going through each and every album that seems messed up?

I can't see your image, but what may work is to delete the folder Album Artwork and then scroll through the entire library in Albums view.

ITunes album artwork screen saver possible with external library?

I just moved my iTunes library to an external drive to free up space on my MacBook, and I was wondering if there's a way to still use the album artwork screen saver when the external drive is not connected? I still have my artwork folder on my internal drive but when it is not connected, it says, "Your iTunes Library does not contain any songs with artwork." Is there a place where the screen saver info is saved? or does it only work with the library itself?

hi,
it will only work when your library could be available.
beside, if I may suggest, it is more reliable to place your library files on your external drive along with your songs than keeping the library files on the internal drive. that way, you will avoid the issue to mistakenly open your library while your external drive isn't mounted.
