How do I combime 2 Album Artwork folders

Hi,
I have moved my itunes library to my external hard drive but when I add Album Artwork it still goes to my old Album Artwork folder on my computer.
How can I merge the folders so all my Album Artwork is on my external drive and stop if from saving to my computer drive again?
I'm using itunes 11.3.1 on a macbook pro.
Thanks in advance,
milo909.

Deleting tracks that are embedded in the song files is easy. Select a group of files, right-click on them, select Get Info from the contextual menu. On the window that appears, there will be an empty artwork square. Select the checkbox next to it, then click OK.
Newer versions of iTunes also store album artwork outside the individual tracks, in a separate folder. I don't know how to safely remove those.

  • 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

  • HT1386 i have noticed that the album artwork on itunes in my phone is missing when you open the "album" section of itunes installed on my phone. how can i get my album artwork to show up in the album section

    i have noticed that the album artwork on itunes installed on my phone is missing some of the album artwork when i go to the "album" section of itunes in my phone. How can i get the album artwork to show up

    first of all, no one is going to respond to this becuase limewire is used basically in your situation illegally. But let's say you import a cd, left click on the songs you imported and hit get album artwork, if nothing comes up, the album sn't in the itunes database, get it online. And I suggest never to mention limewire and music files on the same post here, since limewire is a file sharing program. Use Itunes, it's easier. theo

  • 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,

  • How can I manually transfer album artwork from my library to my iPod

    I downloaded album artwork to the songs in my library, and now I want to get the artwork onto the songs on my iPod classic. Problem is, I manually manage the songs on my ipod, instead of auto-syncing.... so when I hit the "sync" button in the latest version of iTunes (11.1.1.11), nothing happens. There also isn't a "show album artwork on iPod" button anymore. I'm afraid to change my settings from manual to automatic syncing, because I have lots of playlists on my iPod that aren't in my library, and I don't know if these playlists will be removed during the auto-sync. So how can I manually get the album artwork onto my iPod?
    Thanks,
    Rob

    You can only backup iOS devices.
    Sadly the old trick of removing all artwork and then adding it all back again no longer works. You may get some joy if you removed the specific album, then add it back again, butgenerally once things go wrong with artwork on a classic the only option is to restore it. Not a problem if all the media is in your library and you sync with a small number of selected playlists. If you don't have all the media see Recover your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device.

    okay i've been doing some trial and error with the advice that you gave me and i finally got it down. i ended up unchecking the album artwork box and then deleting every song off the iPod. then i checked the box, loaded all the songs back on the iPod and it worked. THERE IS A SOLUTION MY FRIENDS! PROBLEM SOLVED
    thanks for you time...

  • How do I delete all album artwork v10.5.2 OSx 10.5.8

    My car stereo is having major issues with loading album artwork from my iPod.
    I need to remove all of the artwork and then update my iPod so it doesn't have artwork in it.
    I currently have 9750 items in music in iTunes so one by one really isn't really do-able.

    Deleting tracks that are embedded in the song files is easy. Select a group of files, right-click on them, select Get Info from the contextual menu. On the window that appears, there will be an empty artwork square. Select the checkbox next to it, then click OK.

  • How do I recheck the album artwork box which allows for me to see which albums were not able to receive album artwork?

    When I would download album artwork a popup msg would appear notifying me of all the albums that did not get album artwork.  I checked the box the opted me to not see this notifcation msg again.  Now I actually would like to see this notification.  Does anyone know how to reopt for this message notifier?

    Go to iTunes menu > Preferences > Advanced and click the "Reset all dialog warnings" button.

  • How do you change the album artwork size in the new itunes

    I just downloaded the laterst version of itunes, and I can't figure out how to change the size of the album artwork in the grid...I like to be able to see all of my albums at once, so I usually view them in the smallest size, but I can't figure out how to change that.

    I've been playing with this and discovered it has to do with your personal ratings (ie stars) for albums and songs - seems iTunes now selects the highest rated album to use for the Artist icon. If you have no ratings it seems (but not always) to select the most recent album/song to use fo rthe display.
    I've been able to get iTunes to use specific album artowk by rating both the album and all individual tracks as 5 star. You may need to restart iTunes for the changes to take effect.
    But I'd be much happier just telling iTunes which image to use - like we used to be able to do. Yet another step backwards for iTunes 11 (one of many).

  • How do I download my album artwork on the latest version of iTunes?

    So I'm new to owning a mac, but I want to download my album artwork, and on the new version of iTunes, there is no "advanced" button. How do I do this?

  • How do you return your album artwork to the right album?

    ok on my ipod touh i had somehow accidentally rearranged the album artwork from one album to go to another album of a completely different song/album/genre
    how can you fix this??

    If the artwork is okay on your computer, then I would clear all the music from your iPod by choosing not to sync any music in iTunes to clear all music from the iPod. Once the music is removed from your iPod, sync it back.

  • How do I get the album artwork for digital booklets purchased from itunes?

    I have all these digital booklets but when I look at the album artwork viewer I don't see any artwork for for digital booklets. What kind of artwork is there supposed to be there and how do I get it?

    CDs don't contain artwork, Both iTunes and WMP download the artwork from online sources, in the case of iTunes it comes from the iTunes Store (if the album is available in the store). If the artwork isn't available in the store you can add a suitable artwork image manually. You'll get information on both methods at this link: iTunes for Windows - Adding artwork to songs and other items
    If you can't find the album covers you want from iTunes you can get them from various other sources. I find this site is a good source of artwork: CD/Album Cover Art Search from SlothRadio.
    Another place for finding suitable artwork is to go to Amazon. You can also locate artwork using Google image search and put the artist or album name. Locate the album from any of those sources, right click on the image and save it to the desktop, once it's there drag it to the iTunes artwork pane. Once you've added the artwork you can either delete the original file or keep it in a folder somewhere in case you need to use it again. Alternatively there are programs like these that help locate artwork: iTunes Art Importer or MP3 Tag
    If you have a scanner you can create your own artwork files by scanning the CD cover itself, this is particularly useful when you are dealing with rare recordings.

    You also need to enable your iPod to show the artwork:
    1. Connect your iPod to your computer
    2. Click on the iPod icon when it appears the iTunes Source pane to bring up the preference tabs.
    3. Select the Music tab of the iPod settings. The iPod settings are displayed to the right in the main iTunes window.
    4. Select the "Display album artwork on your iPod" check box.
    5. Click Apply to save the changes. The iPod begins to update as soon as Apply is clicked.

  • How do I change the album artwork that appears on the front of a playlist?

    When I put playlists on my iPad the wrong album artwork appears on the front of them, sometimes not even containing the correct picture. is there any way to alter this?

    This needs to be fixed! The playlist artwork chosen seems random and doesn't relate to the contents of the playlist, and in my case is misleading (the same artwork for several playlists). I have a new iPad mini and the most recent version of iTunes. My ancient iPod nano is looking better all the time.
