Fitting Art Work to Art Board in AI

Does anyone know if this is possible? Please note - I do not need advice the other way 'round (i.e. fit Art board to art work) - as I want the art board to remain static in this case.
Many thanks in advance.

Thanks Brij011
I thought that there was a way to do this. However, it would be neat to be able to upload correct Art Work for album covers so that other could share instead of having to scan / take picture and then import. I guess Apple would be inodated with incorrect pictures if we could upload to them.
Oh well... thanks again !

  • I can no longer add album art work in iTunes version 10.6.0.40

    WHY can I no longer add album art work in iTunes version 10.6.0.40? It is maddening. I have checked many boards and discussion groups but no one has a sure fix. Why is Apple not tending to this problem? They of all groups should know the importance of how something looks.

    I had the the same problem albeit with an m4v (same hardware and OS rev too!, iTunes 10.6.3). I was able to add the movie to a new library per Limnos' suggestion here, indicating that iTunes wasn't totally busted. However, I was also able to see the movie in the Recently Added smart playlist (another hat tip to Limnos), although it still did not appear in the Movies section of my iTunes library. (It was also in the iTunes Library.xml file.)
    So I called AppleCare, and they directed me to move the file from the external drive where it was living, into the /Users/<Your Name Here>/Movies directory, and to "Add to Library" (Command-O) from that location. Sure enough (and much to my surprise), it showed up immediately (duplicated, actually) in the Movies section of my iTunes library. Subsequent additions to my Library have not misbehaved similiarly.

  • How do I sync so that album art work in one library is copied over to another via home-sharing? Most of the artwork has been scanned and added by me.

    I have three computers, each with its own iTunes Library, but if I add material to one, every few days I make sure that it's copied over to the others via homesharing.  However, some of the metadata does not transfer, specifically the album art work.  So on one library, call it my Home Library, everything is nice and tidy, with album artwork where it should be.  On the other two, all the albums I've painstakingly made sure are complete on the home library are missing the art work.
    Any thoughts?  Tune Ranger and other iTunes maintenance apps don't seem to do the job, either. Coverscout, PowerTunes and Song Sargent also fail this task.

    My understanding it iTunes handles artwork several ways.  First, iTunes keeps a copy of all artwork in its artwork folder.  Second, artwork can optionally be embedded in a media file.  You can, for example, have an album where no artwork is actually in the files but all use a reference copy in the artwork folder.  Even if a file has artwork embedded it may still use the version in the artwork folder.
    Embedded artwork travels with the file when you copy the file.
    I am hazy as to when exactly iTunes will embed artwork and when it won't.  I believe, for example, if you use iTunes to fetch artwork it will not embed it, it will just place a copy in the artwork folder.  Then too I never use iTunes to fetch artwork and I usually end up with artwork embedded in a file or two per LP (each embedded copy uses up more disk space).  Now, I still use iTunes 7.5 and new versions may not behave exactly the same.  If it was my version and I added artwork to a file it would embed it and it would transfer.  It sounds like your artwork isn't embedded even if you are adding it the same way I would (I drag mine to the little arwork display box in the bottom left corner of my window, which apparently has vanished completely in iTunes 11).
    You could try this for a file:
    Script for embedding artwork - http://dougscripts.com/itunes/scripts/ss.php?sp=embedart
    Just remember embedding artwork adds to each file size, so if you have 1000 files and you add 2 MB of high quality scans to each track you are taking up 2 GB more of drive space.

  • How to properly embed album art work into TV/Films itunes: home sharing lag

    My setup is a simple apple home sharing network.
    I have a mac mini running OS X 10.6.8 and itunes 11.0.4(4) it hosts a lot of music, DVD's that have been re-encoded and paid for content from itunes.
    The mac mini is conntected to the network over a very good gigbit lan and has 4 apple TV3 (latest gen) hanging off the network, and multiple PC/Mac/ipod/ipad devices hanging off the network.
    I connect to the itunes home sharing service with the apple TV service using the "remote" application on the ipad.
    When I select Music/Albums TV Shows or Films from the menu of the itunes library the album art work loads (quickly) over the grey boxes as I scroll down. However this takes a few seconds for each "scroll" I do on the ipad (it has thousands of items in there).
    The exception to the rule is any paid content, when I open Music/TV/Films menu on the ipad the paid content (especially for TV and Films) the artwork is already there, and doesn't have to load it.
    How is the artwork for paid content contained differently than the artwork for content I've manually put into the itunes library.
    If I look at the itunes library locally on the machine hosting the itunes data, the artwork is there straightaway, no loading, pull up the items info with "get info" and click on art work, the artwork is there, and I can see no different in the art work settings for paid content or for content I've manually updated/loaded an image for.
    So why/how does the paid for content have artwork on the ipad the exact second I open it over the network, yet the non-paid for content take a few seconds per screen to load it.
    Is there something different in how the art work is embeeded, or is it a caching setting ? whats the difference.

    Dang You Autocorrect.
    You don't saw what size and resolution the embedded artwork is. This could be part of the issue. Artwork on movies you purchase from the iTunes Store is 667x1000 at 72 DPI so if yours is larger than this is could be causing the delay.

  • How can I add/change art work to albums where the art work isn't available at iTunes?

    How can I add/change art work to albums where the art work isn't available at iTunes?

    Go to google and search for the artwork.  When you find it, save it to your computer.  Right click the album and select get info.  Drag the image you saved to the empty box for album art.

  • I have an iPhone 4 on IOS5. I signed up for itunes match. After everything uploaded to the cloud, my songs are messed up. I'll select a song and the title will show with the right art work but a different song will start playing.  Anyone have a solution?

    I have an iPhone 4 on IOS5. I signed up for itunes match. After everything uploaded to the cloud, my songs are messed up. I'll select a song and the title will show with the right art work but a different song will start playing.  Some songs won't play at all even though they do appear in the itunes store. The artwork almost always shows u blank until you turn it to landscape then it will appear. Anyone know what's going on?

    I have found that scrolling through the album list (past albums without art) triggers the progress wheel next to the wifi symbol. You can scroll quickly through the whole collection and then wait! Artwork will appear gradually...
    However, repeat visits to the Music App might initially show no artwork again, but it might spontaneously appear more quickly this time. The bad news is that the whole Music App is now sluggish as ****...

  • Just upgraded to IOS 8 with iPad air and no more art work with my video's.  Very disappointing!  I hope they fix it!

    I regret upgrading to IOS 8 now because I cannot see the artwork for my video's.  That is the only reason I downloaded them through iTunes because I liked the way they displayed the art work of the video.  Now all I get is a gray box with the title in small letters below.  I hope they fix it. 

    Windows 8 w/ version 12.1.1.4 and iOS 8.1.3
    Close iTunes
    1)  Plug in Device
    2)  Go to Device Manager/Portable Device
    3)  Right click- update driver
    4)  Browse my computer
    5)  Let me pick from list
    6)  Click Have Disk
    7)  Type in, or look for C:\Program Files
    8)  Go to Common Files\Apple\Mobile Device\Support Drivers
    9)  Dbl-CLick  "usbaapl" file  - let it do it's thing, until status bar is finished
    Unplug Device- Open iTunes- plug in device- should work!
    I had to do this for both my phones- 5 and 6

  • How can I copy and paste the art work from album covers?

    How can I copy and paste the art work from album covers?

    I don't think the list style transfers. Copy and paste the text in to Mail, select it and then choose "Insert Numbered List" as a work around.

  • I need help identifying an old Macintosh game: it was a painting game where you rode a roller coaster to an art museum and you got to pick what kind of art work you were going to make. This was the early 90's and I've been trying to hunt it down

    I need help identifying an old Macintosh game: it was a painting game where you rode a roller coaster to an art museum and you got to pick what kind of art work you were going to make. It was animated, 2D i believe. This was the early 90's and I've been trying to hunt it down. I think there was some kind of animal in it, a giraffe maybe?

    Could you be thinking of Microsoft Home's "Fine Artist" for Macintosh, as shown in this Amazon.com listing?  This program was bundled with the Performa series of Macs during the mid-90s.

  • Movie and art work not showing up on ATV

    1 of the movies in iTunes (and plays in iTunes as well) is not showing up on my ATV. Also I am having a problem with numerous movie artwork that I just set up that shows up in iTunes but not on the ATV. Any ideas why they won't sync?

    Can you tell me how you added art work to a movie outside iTunes?
    I purchased a Movie (No Direction Home) on Apple TV and when it snycs back to iTunes the art work is missing. If I try to add the art work manually in iTunes it won't accept it - no error message pops but the art work will not show after a paste function.
    Thanks in advance.

  • Unable to drag and drop album cover art work in Itunes 10 64-bit

    I just recently installed Itunes 10 64-bit version and transfered all of my music. I wanted to add some art work to some game tracks but I can no longer drag and drop.

    Make sure your windows userid has full control and ownership over the entire music folder. Check the box to apply this to subcontainers (aka subfolders)

  • Missing album art work in cover flow mode

    why would i have a missing album in cover flow mode on my ipod classic, but be able to see the same album in itune on my computer. it does shows up under artist catagory, just not cover flow. i have deleted the art work and re copied it, re synced and restarted and still no album cover. also, not marked as a compliaction either. thoughts?
    thx

    *Why is artwork not showing on my iPod when it's there in iTunes?*
    iTunes will display a cover in many of it's views provided at least one track from the album has embedded artwork. The iPod appears to load only the artwork from track one to create the cover flow and album views which means that it can sometimes fail to display art for albums even when you can see the art in iTunes. Further, when tracks are played on the iPod, artwork is displayed if and only if it exists in the currently playing track, so track one may show art while track two does not.
    *How to find tracks without artwork*
    To find all the tracks without artwork so that you can update them you can try http://www.stum.de/itunes-find-tracks-without-artwork/ for Windows or http://dougscripts.com/itunes/scripts/scripts13.php for Macs. Use Google, Amazon, Discogs etc. to locate relevant jpeg images. Ideally these should be square, 320x320 pixels or above and borderless to give the best results in the various menus. If you have artwork for some tracks of an album, but not others, find the album in the main music folder, select a track with artwork, right-click (Option-Click for Macs) on the art & click copy, then select all the tracks of the album, use CTRL-I or Command-I to *Get Info* and then paste the image into the artwork box.
    I say 320x320 because I believe (from using TouchCopy) that it's the size used in the iPod cache so if you're going to crop or resize you might as well work to that size. Otherwise 200x200 is probably good enough.

  • Problem changing art work

    I have been to the link posted here . clicked on the tune gone to edit and get info go to artwork.
    Iv imported deleted dragged and added art work. It stays in the Bottom left of the window but the art work by the tune changes to something els or stays the same . Giving an EG put in AC DC and it show up Buork or something other then.
    And the art work does is the same in cover flow. How to fix this?

    Same here: since upgrading to 8.1, all albums containing multiple cover art, show anything but the frontcover. It's not always the last one being shown: when you've imported more than two, it could be one in the middle as well. I've noticed when you flip through the art and put it on the first (front cover), then go to another song, and then return to the first one, it seems to have fixed the problem. But when you check it a little later, it has the same bug again.
    I'm wondering if it has anything to do with an issue that I'm having already for a long time: Usually I add the art this way: I select all songs of an album, press CMD+I (Get Info), and then I drag the pics in the artwork square. Here you should first add the last one, and then the rest in the right order, if you want them to appear in the right order. So if you have 5 pics, then you first drag 5 and then 1-2-3-4 into the Info window. I've always done it like that, and I've been wondering for a long time now why it works like this, never really found an answer.
    Could it be that they fixed this weird importing order issue now, but that it now affects all albums with art imported that way ? Just an idea...
    Anyone else having these problem too?
