How do i transfer album art to new computer?

I am in the process of adding a larger hard drive to my Mac Pro and did not want to do a complete transfer of the entire OS with all files to new hard drive. I am installing the OS and then installing each program and there are a few things I would like from my old hard drive. I was able to get my mail and now I want my itunes album art.
When updating the library I just did the add to library option. In doing that I remember how bad the album art chosen by itunes is! On my old system I had went and selected each wrong album art and used an app for correcting it one at a time. I assume the changed art is under my Album Artwork folder on my old system, but doubt it would be as easy as just copy and overwrite to the same folder on the new hard drive. If anyone knows of a good way to do this so I don't have to do the app thing again, just to correct art one album at a time, I would appreciate it!

... I'm having the same problem.
I'm going to try a few experiments, starting with just copying the contents of the older 'album artwork' folder into the new directory.
I'll let you know how I get on!
Cheers, Mr Barv

  • How do you transfer album art to the Zen Vision

    Quite a lot of my tracks have album art associated with them. If I transfer these tracks to my Zen Vision M, will the album art transfer automatically also? If not, how to I go about transferring album art? The album art does not appear as separate files in My Pictures, it seems to be embedded in the WMAs......

    Thanks for posts. The MediaExplorer way mentioned did not work for me either. So far it looks like Windows Media Player will transfer album art automatically when you copy music to your player using the 'sync' function, but I have yet to try this out. This would probably be the easiest way for most people, but remember to create your subfolders for your music first and transfer the track to the relevant one, as stuff can't bee moved around between folders once it's on your player (so annoying).

  • How do i transfer adobe programs to new computer?

    I do not have the original disks, but I do have my product keys saved in a text file so that's not a problem.  I think they also appear somewhere in the programs themselves, right?  Anyway, I'm finally upgrading to a new computer and Windows 7 and leaving my beloved XP behind (I'm afraid Microsoft will stop releasing security updates for XP and I don't want to be left a situation).  Unfortunately, I have both Adobe CS (the first one) as well as Macromedia Studio 8 on this computer.  How do I get them to my new computer without upgrading to newer versions of the programs?  I cannot afford the new versions and I'm quite happy for now with what I've got.
    Again, disks are long gone.  Again, I simply cannot afford to shell out the money for the software upgrades.  Not right now.  The new computer alone is gobbling up my funds.

    I think you'd have to find the software to install from somewhere.  They are older products so you might try Softpedia or Download.com or Craigslist or eBay.
    The ideal situation is if you could find free trial versions, which you could then activate with your existing product keys.
    You'd then have to deactivate/uninstall from your current computer and reinstall to your new one.  There may be a way to somehow transfer over the existing program files from XP to Windows 7, but it seems a longshot.  I'd say google that one some more to be sure.

    I have a new computer.  I was using PSE 11.  I have the key.  How do I get it on my new computer?

    After installing PSE11 on the new computer it's best to use the backup and restore method to preserve all your keywords, version sets and albums etc. You start in the Organizer on the old PC.

  • How to transfer existing Album Art to NEW Computer/iTunes?

    Hi guys, I will try to make this simple. I'm going from an iMac to a new macbook. I had hopes of creating a complete clone of my existing itunes library into the new computer...but it seems harder than I expected. Moving the music itself is not a problem. I my "iTunes folder" has always been a seperate folder on an external hard drive. Moving this music from this folder to a new itunes is not hard at all, but in the process I'm losing all info like play count, playlists, and *most importantly, the Album Art that I've spent hours and hours adding to the files in iTunes.* (only a handful of music has transferred with its art, and those were all added previously, not by me, likely not through itunes.
    Losing playcounts and playlists I will be able to live with, but I'm hellbent on clean transferring the album art I've manually collected in my previous version of iTunes... please help me figure this out... if you have any questions about my set up just ask
    Thank you in advance.

    Chris, than you for responding. Let me try to clarify...
    My previous "iTunes folder" has always been a folder on an external drive. So when I dropped music into iTunes, it then copies directly to "E:/External Drive/TOTALMUSIC". That's the source/itunes database. So in that folder, as far as I know, there is all my music, and then it gets broken down into "Artists" and then "Albums".
    Upon copying this old music into itunes on my new computer, the music transfers fine, but most music loses the Album Art that it shows on my previous computer, while some artwork does actually stay.
    Perhaps I need to go into a seperate file on my firt computers actual iTunes folders (not the external database) and copy something from in there and paste that into iTunes folders in the new computer?
    To summarize, the music saves to a folder outside of itunes, and I've transferred that music across just fine, but somewhere in the mix I lost a lot of info that I think should be somehow attached to the files. I'm wondering if this information is actually saved seperate from the music files or something? why wouldn't the changes I've made to the artwork through iTunes reflect to the backed up music in its source on the external?
    Frustrating!
    Thanks again...

    You can only transfer purchased music from an I Pod.  When in I tunes go to files, and click transferring purchases.  All other music is lost.
