How do I add album art like I did with previous version of itunes?

I could easily drag and drop my album art into the window in the lower left album art viewer in the previous version of Itunes. Please bring this back!!!!

Hi,
I am having this same problem, but iTunes is messing up my artwork even more.
I bought some albums from iTunes in the last days. They show with their proper artwork in iTunes 12.0.1.26 on MacOS 10.9.5.
As as well organized German :-) I am used to change artist and album artist into "Lastname, Firstname" to get the right sorting. Doing this with this iTunes version lets the artwork disappear. Trying to add it manually fails as described in the original message.
Hoping for a quick bugfix. I won't buy any more music from iTunes as long as changing anything in the properties of the information tab creates this hassle for me.

  • How to manually add songs and playlists to ipod with new version of itunes?

    So I didn't have any problem adding songs to my ipod nano manually until I updated itunes a few minutes ago, and found the settings completely different than previously.  I can no longer just drag songs and playlists to my ipod.  I have "manually manage music" and "enable disk use" selected.  I do not want to sync my whole library to it.  I have more songs in my library than can fit on my ipod.  And I already have my playlists set up how I want them.  Can someone help?  

    go to iphone, then on the page below click the Add To... icon on the top right.
    then its easiest to view them by songs. and then you can drag and drop from them and click Done when finished

  • How do you add album art in iTunes 12? everything I've tried doesn't work

    how do you add album art in iTunes 12?

    Two methods:
    Right-click on the album, select Get Album Artwork.  iTunes will determine whether this album is available from the iTunes Store and, if so, download the artwork image from the Store and associate it with the media files.
    Right-click on the album, select Get Info and then the Artwork tab,  Then:
    click the Add Artwork button, navigate to and select an image file on your computer, or
    drag and drop an image file from your computer to the Artwork tab, or
    copy an image to the clipboard (for example, from a web page) go to the Artwork tab and press Ctrl-V (there's a bug in iTunes 12.0.1.26 such that right-click > paste does not work here
    For the second method, you can also access the "old style" editor window from iTunes 11 by holding down Shift as you right-click > Get Info.
    Lastly, there are three cases in which you can follow these procedures but artwork is not correctly associated with or embedded in your media files:
    your media are in a format that doesn't accommodate embedded artwork - typically WAV files.  To embed artwork you'll need to convert to another format - Apple Lossless or AIFF if you want to preserve lossless quality, AAC or MP3 otherwise.
    your media files are read only - to fix this, use Windows Explorer to find the folder that contains your files, right-click and select Properties.  On the General tab there's a check box labeled "Read-only" - if this is checked, or is grey (sometimes blue), click the box so that the flag is unchecked and the box is white.  Click OK, and then OK again when the "Apply changes to this folder, subfolders and files" option selected.  Now try adding the artwork again.
    Windows permissions issues are preventing iTunes from updating your media files (there's some anecdotal evidence of a change in this behavior in iTunes 12).  See turingtest2's notes on Repair security permissions for iTunes for Windows for advice on fixing this, then try adding the artwork again.

  • How do I add album art not using iTunes

    How do I add album art without first importing the songs into iTunes? Is there a program that will do this?

    Well, my preferred method is to use a web search engine, restrict it to display artwork, then choose the best.  Slow but sure.
    Browse the wwww.pure-mac.com web site for free utilities out there.  I am sure there are many commercial packages to "clean up" iTunes but frankly I think they are hype.
    See if there is something on the Dougscripts web site.
    I know I have utilities such as XLD that do it as part of the CD ripping process.

  • Manual update - how do I add album art to songs that are already in ipod?

    I recently changed to manual update as the auto update started to take a ridiculously long time to even recognize my 60gb.
    I wanted to add album art to an album that was already in my ipod. I updated the songs in itunes, and then dragged them to the ipod when it was listed in itunes.
    Itunes said "updating songs" - and I ended up with two copies of each song.
    I deleted the duplicates from the ipod, but surely there must be an easier way.
    So how does one properly update information on existing songs with manual update?
    60gb video     latest itunes

    The easiest way to do this kind of thing probably would be to either make the alterations (album artwork, lyrics, etc.) on your iPod's songs themselves, not the iTunes library songs. (Click on the little arrow to the left of your iPod's name in the Source List of iTunes, so show/hide. Click on the "Music" library under your iPod to see it's songs displayed in iTunes.)
    When you've gotten in the "Music" library, under your iPod's name in iTunes, you can select the songs here that you want to change, and click on "Get Info".
    Or, you could do this:
    1 - Make the changes to the iTunes Library songs.
    2 - Go to your iPod's Music area in iTunes.
    3 - Delete the current songs off your iPod that will be replaced with the "modified" version of the track (that has additional or altered info on it.)
    4 - Now, go back to the iTunes Library. Select those new changed songs, and drag them to your iPod.

  • HT1535 how do i add music to my ipod using the newest version of itunes?

    having trouble uploading music to my ipod using the latest version of itunes

    You add music the same way you always did. The default interface in iTunes 11 now doesn't show the sidebar, though. Either click the button for your iPod at the upper-right, e.g.:
    or go to the View menu and select "Show Sidebar" after which iTunes will look much as it did in earlier versions.
    Regards.

  • How do one add FCP Events and Projects created in previous versions

    Just upgraded to OS X Yosemite and FCP X 10.1.4. The files that I saved under a seperate folder (which I named as Unused Events/Projects) did not convert. How do I get those Event and Projects in new Macintosh HD's projects and events?

    TThe fiolders have to be in specific locations to be recognized by FCP. They have to be in Final Cut Events and Final Cut Projects either at the root level of a secondary drive or in the Movies folder.

    I've only recently updated my firefox to v 15.0.1 after using v 10 for so long, and I was wondering if there is a way to make the scroll wheel move up and down instantly without having it slowly crawl to it's spot?

    you can disable smooth scrolling.

  • 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.
