Thankyou
MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!!!!!!!!!!

Here are a couple of methods.  Go to Google Image Search and type in (say) "The Beatles", and click on search images.   That brings up 327,000 images!!   You could be more specific and just type in "Abbey Road", if that was what you were looking for.   Double click on a picture you like, then at the top of that page click on "see full size image".   When you get that image, simply copy/paste it into the space for album artwork in iTunes.   Make sure you select the album in the browser of iTunes before you copy/paste.   You'd be surprised what Google Images can bring up. There are literally millions, and even obscure album artwork can be found.
In the unlikely event that Google can’t find an image, you can also get artwork from Amazon.
If you’re happy using images from Amazon, and don’t want to copy/paste, then iTunes Art Importer is a nice free program to do it for you.

If I add artwork by dragging a jpg to the artwork area after selecting several rows, in some instances a single icon is created in the flipper; in others one is created for each song. Why? How can I get one image per album every time?

Downloading artwork - "could not get artwork for some albums"

This might have been addressed before, but I browsed the forum and couldn't find a thread. Sorry if it's been gone over several times.
I live in Turkey and I've added albums to my iTunes. I checked the box in the Get Info next to Artwork and I selected Get Album Artwork from the Advanced tab. It scans through all the albums and then says "could not get artwork for some albums." "Some" albums means all of them actually. And the error tab details say "artwork not available." I also tried getting artwork by right clicking on a single album but I get the same error. Before it was a 609 error. Now it just says not available.
I logged out of the store, quit iTunes, loaded it again, re-signed in to the store and tried to get artwork that way, but got the same result. No artwork. The albums are things like Let It Be, Allman Brothers, Ella Fitzgerald... Albums that should certainly have artwork available.
I'm using Windows Vista.
Has anyone had and conquered this problem? Any ideas on what I should do? I have 300+ albums, so getting the cover art from wikipedia would be a bit tedious. I'd appreciate any help anyone can give!

Hello, Welcome to Apple Discussions.
Are your songs from Audio CDs or iTunes Store? If not you may need to manually find the album artwork for them as these songs may not be listed in the iTunes Store database for your region.
iTunes: Album art may not download properly
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1815
iTunes will only download album artwork for songs that it can find in the iTunes Store. iTunes will check each song in your iTunes library and attempt to match it up with a song in the iTunes Store. If the data matches, iTunes will download the album artwork from the iTunes Store and add it to the song in your iTunes library. If iTunes does not find a particular song's artwork in the iTunes Store, you will not see an alert message. iTunes simply does not download artwork for that song.

How do I get a list of albums by artist and export to Excel etc?

How do I get a list of albums ONLY by artist and export to Excel etc? I do not want the songs as generally know the songs on the album.

You can get it directly out of iTunes by the command Print > Album Listing > List of Albums.
Also, if you are good at Excel, you can paste your iTunes library listing into Excel and use the Excel filtering and sorting capabilities to get whatever view you want.

How do i get rid of an album that I synced to my phone

how do i get rid of an album that I synced to my phone

Oh, sorry....
OK, let's start over....
Hook your iPhone up to the computer and select the device when it appears in iTunes. Go to the Photo tab, and deselect the album then re-sync.
You also can delete each picture in the Album one by one by going into the Photos icon on your iPhone, Select the Albums option, select the Album, and then when the pictures display, select Edit. Then you have to tap on each picture to delete it. Time consuming....easier to sync it with the computer, but a way to get rid of them temporarily. You still have to change your i-device photo profile in iTunes or it will download again in the next sync.
Cheers,

HT1473 When importing CDs into i-tunes should the artwork be there automatically. If not how do I get artwork to show in i-tunes and on my ipod. I had artwork with a PC but now I have a mac artwork does not appear.

I don't use iTunes's "fetch artwork", so I'm not 100% sure, but unless you are signed in to your iTunes account, artwork is not automatic. Even then, iTunes doesn't always find it.
You can copy-and-paste artwork from the inernet, either Amazon or Google. I use 300x300 pixel images.
For the future, if you have iTunes questions, you might be better off posting them in the iTunes for Mac forum, this is iTunes for Windows. In this situation, it doesn't make any difference, but next time maybe it will.

How do I get to my iphoto albums to use as screensaver in OS X 10.8?

How do I get to my iphoto albums to use as screensaver in OS X 10.8? As it is, I am limited to the pre-seloected screensavers (National
geographic, etc.). When I get to the field for "Folder" and select "Pictures", the iPhoto Library is there, but it is in faint print (along with most other files in the Pcitures folder) indicating that they can't be selected.

Hi.
I'm having the same issue.
• Photo Library is not a Source option in the Screen Saver Preference pane.
• iPhoto Library and Photo Booth Library are not selectable options with Source > Choose Folder...
• No "screensaver cache" exists on my machine.
I've trashed the preferences for screen saver (user/library/preferences/com.apple.screensaver.plist). Didn't help.
Also trashed ...systempreferences.plist. Didn't help.
I replaced the current preference pane with the Desktop & Screensaver pane from OS X Lion (from TM backup). Didn't help.
I can duplicate this even when I boot from another install of Mountain Lion that I have on an external drive used for troubleshooting
My workaround is to drag the photos that I would like to use from particular Events or Albums from within iPhoto into a like-named folder in Finder. Then select that folder as the Source from the Screen Saver System Preferences pane.
In the big scheme of things this, for me, is a relatively minor thing. And I can work around it.
But, it's obvious that something is not working properly, and it's probably something that the software folks at Apple should look into.
My setup is:
• mid-2010 iMac, 17", 3.06/16/500
• OS X 10.8.1
• iPhoto '09 (v8.1.2)

HT1539 How do I get my Avengers music album after I down load the movie?

How do I get my Avengers music album after I down load the movie? It looks like it is included with the disk set I purchased.

If iTunes Match is turned off, go to preferences > store>Tick box show iCloud purchases. Once done all purchased music will appear. Go to song list view, select all tracks, ctrl+click and select download from pop up.
Alternatively, go into iTunes Store > Quicklinks purchased and select not on this computer. Select download all.

How do i get artwork to show on every album

in itunes, i have successfully assigned the artwork to all my albums, has taken me ages! but ive done it.
however, it only shows it for one of my albums wen ive taken the ipod out and looked to see if it has worked.
how do i get it to work for all my albums?
x x x x

or, you can skip all the hassle of this and get a
freeware called Fetch Art (google it) that
automatically gets album art for all the songs that
it can identify
Right, but just so you know, he/she already has the artwork in iTunes

How do I get this stupid U2 album off of my IPhone?

This has got to be the most idiotic marketing stunt ever. Shame on Apple for burning $100MM of shareholder money to do it. I have spent the last half hour trying to get this stupid U2 album off of my IPhone. I tried doing it from my laptop and hid it in the ITunes Store there, but it is still showing up on my IPhone "in the cloud" ... any idea how I get it out of the cloud ... or will I just have to hate Apple forever for messing with my IPhone without my permission?

What an odd reaction to a free gift.
If your parents or children gave you a gift that you do not like, would you react this way?
Have you taken leave of all reason?
You have been given a free gift. You can choose not to listen to it. You can delete it from your library.
iCloud will allow you to redownload it in the future, should you choose to do so. You can also choose to never download it again.
It seems as if you are greatly over reacting to a free gift.
How dare Apple and U2 give you something for free against your will. The nerve.

How can I get artwork to upload and display consistently?

There are inconsistancies with my experience compared to others. The main similarity is that artwork is not uploading consistatly. I'm seeing the following:
Some artwork that dispplays in iTunes doesn't display on my iPhone (my only iTunes Match enabled device)
Some artwork on songs purchased from iTunes Store doesn't display.
Some artwork on songs purchased from iTunes Storewill display on some songs from an album but not the entire album.
Some artwork that I have added manually will display on some songs but not the entire album.
Artwork thumbnail will display in album list but won't diaplay for individual songs.
I have tried deleting artwork and letting iTunes find it again. I have tried using 600x600 size images. I have verified that artwork size doesn't matter. I've added 1200x1200 artwork and it displays through iTunes Match on my iPhone. For the most part I get artwork that iTunes can't find from Amazon's mp3 store or Discogs.com. Again, some of what I get fromAmazon will display, some won't. Same for Discogs.
I can't find any consistancies in any of it. Everything I think of to try is contradicted by other songs in my library. I've searched through the discussions and tried everything suggested. I've deleted and reupped or re"matched" my library 3 times now.
It seems as if there are no answers.

Wow Steve. I can't believe I have found someone with the exact same issues as I do and when you said in your original post that you couldn't find any "consistencies" with the artwork problems, I said to myself this guy is going through the same **** as I am. When I first heard of iTunes Match for the first time, I spent a whole day adding the missing artwork to my 1258 albums. After purchasing iTunes Match and letting it scan my whole library, there were some 80 albums that had lost their cover art in my library. This is a part from the fact that some albums that DO have cover art do not have their artwork appear on my iPhone and iPad. I have also noticed some albums have their artwork appear on the album page but not when i'm on the artist or individual song page.
I did notice one thing though that I hope they fix. There are some albums of mine, which are compilations of various artists, that I rather have regrouped under one artist for easy finding. When I tried modifying the artist for a complete album which cover art is displayed, the cover art would disappear from my devices.
This shows me that there are many sorting issues that will have to be corrected and I'm guessing alot of them are related to the album cover art issues.
I justed wanted to add the fact that I have noticed the exact same issues as you did and hoping that this will all be resolved someday by Apple because I don't think there is anything more we can do.
