How to delete album artwork from itunes?

i have tried the clear downloaded artwork, but this didn't work. is there any other way that i can delete album artwork from itunes? i am assuming the artwork is embedded in the files, since the clear downloaded artwork didn't work.

I think this might have been answered before, but this is what I know.
One way I'm aware of to clear artwork is to do a properties of any album you want to clear the artwork from, go to artwork, select the artwork and delete it.
Iirc, iTunes holds the artwork in it's database and not physically with the audio file. I normally use "Mp3tag" to add my artwork to albums so the artwork is embedded in the audio files, I tend to steer clear of adding artwork in iTunes itself. Just be weary when adding images to the audio files themselves: The audio files will increase in size of the image itself, I think that's why iTunes doesn't physically add it to the files.

Deleting album artwork from Itunes 6 after upgrading to Itunes 7

I recently upgraded to Itunes 7, and I want to delete some of my album artwork that I added in Itunes 6. I backed up my entire library and imported it into Itunes 7 after I installed it. Some of my album artwork consists or low-res clipart, and I want to update my entire library with new album artwork. When I choose "get album artwork", Itunes doesn't update my music with the new artwork. I also tried the "get info" submenu, and there isn't any artwork listed in the window, though it shows the artwork in the album srcolling window. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

This info is included in the song tag, you have to edit the individual song tag to change the artwork. To do this, right click on the song with bad artwork, then choose the first option "get info". A box will open, click on the artwork tab (you may have several pieces or artwork here--delete the ones you don't like. It's possible the good art you want will be one of the choices. Make sure this appears first in the list and then you'll see it in iTunes. If you need to add the artwork, click the add button and browse/find the artwork you want to add.
Hope this helps!

Can't Download Album Artwork From Itunes Anymore

Hi, as i browse through coverflow with itunes, my ipod and my iphone i like having high quality album artwork from itunes. As i don't buy my music directly from iTunes i usually just change the fields of the first song of the album to the exact same as the way it is in the iTunes store, so i can get album artwork from them, however now it isn't working anymore, i have tried downloading artwork for a few albums and it isn't coming up it anymore and says "Artwork for... Cannot be found". For example now im trying with Beyoncé's new album I Am...Sasha Fierce and i changed everything on the first song to match exactly as it is on the iTunes store, such as artist, album, year, composer, genre EVERYTHING! please can someone help, i have quite a big screen and it looks bad when i get the artwork from amazon or google images. Thanks.

How to delete unwanted apps from itunes

how to delete unwanted apps from itunes cant figure it out

What do you mean delete from iTunes? You can't do that on an iPad. You can delete apps in iTunes on a computer. If you want to delete an app on the iPad, tap and hold down on the icon until the icon wiggles, then tap the X appears on the icon to delete the app. Tap the home button when finished.
You really need to explain in more detail what you wNt to do. Maybe this will help.

How do I download album artwork from iTunes on my Mac to my iPod touch?

I have album artwork in iTunes on my desktop Mac. I want to have that artwork with my albums and songs on my iPod Touch? I don't see an obvious way to move or synch the artwork, except possibly replacing all music on my iPod with what is in iTunes. I don't want to do that because I synch with my office and home computers and the music is not identical on the two computers.

Thanks for your help, but I already have the album artwork on my desktop Mac (connected with its appropriate album). When I synch my iPod (or simply copy the new album to my iPod), the artwork does not show up. I could choose Synch Music, but that would then I get this message: "All existing content on the iPod will be removed and replaced with songs and playlists from your iTunes library." This would cause me to lose music place on my iPod from my home computer, which I don't want to do.

How to get album artwork from amazon

How can I get album artwork from amazon ?

iTunes will only fetch artwork for albums that are on sale in the iTunes Music Store (and sometimes even that doesn't work if the info tags aren't identical). If you have a lot of albums that are older, obscure or simply not licensed for sale in the store iTunes won't add any artwork.
If the artwork isn't available in iTunes you can also add images of your own manually. You'll get information on both methods at this link: iTunes for Windows - Adding artwork to songs and other items
When 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 which you can copy to your computer: 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.

Open up iTunes-------->In the top right corner go to Ipad------->once you are there, in the top part, you will find were it says Summary/Apps/Tones/Music/etc...on there click on Movies or Tv Shows, not sure where you have those videos. Once you are there you will see Little boxes right by the Movie name, those boxes have a check on them...which means they are synced on your Ipad.

How to delete account info from itunes?

I had an Ipad from where I work, but I had to set up my own itunes account for it. I purchased an Ipad 2 and want/need to return the one I have from work. I have been able to delete all info from the device. I can't delete the account from itunes though. It doesn't have a device listed for it. Did it wipe it out when I deleted the info on the device or am I missing something.
Thanks

How To Delete Album Covers in iTunes?

Sometimes I want to delete the album covers I have for songs in iTunes. How do I do that? It'll add more than one cover but I can't seem to delete old or unwanted, or wrong album covers! Help!
Lee

Right click (control+click if using a one button mouse) on the file you want to remove the artwork from, choose Get Info then the Artwork tab, click on the image and press the delete button then OK. To remove from multiple items, highlight the adjacent tracks in your selection (click on the first in the list, hold down the shift key and click on the last), right click and choose Get Info, choose yes when you are asked if you want to edit multiple items, tick the box beside the small empty artwork window on the right. (if the songs aren't adjacent to each other but spread through out the playlist or library hold down the Command (⌘) key and click on each of the songs you want to highlight).

Black Album Artwork from iTunes.

I just added quite a bit of music that i downloaded to my computer, onto iTunes. When I try to get the album art information from iTunes, all that comes up is black, its not the real album art, just a black picture. I know how to get the real album art onto the library through right-click>Get Info>Past art, but when i do this, it converts the music ID or something and takes forever. Does anyone know how to fix this?

I'd be tempted to force iTunes to rebuild the artwork cache. Close iTunes, open your iTunes folder, rename the *Album Artwork* folder, *Album Artwork (OLD)*, then restart iTunes. You should find that any artwork embeded in tracks displays properly. Scroll slowly through the library in grid mode to encourage iTunes to extract existing art. If all goes well delete the OLD artwork folder.
If you still have some black cover art (apart from the say the Spinal Tap or Metallica covers that are meant to be black), select all the affected tracks, Get info, and put a tick against the empty artwork box on the Info tab, then click OK.

Removing iTunes supplied artist album artwork from iTunes

Recently bought a new iPhone 5S and am now using it to store my music instead of my iPod Touch.
All my music is in a self-made directory in Apple Lossless, so I manually transfer/have iTunes auto convert all the songs onto my phone.
Everything seems to be working fine, however, for the 5 or 6 songs I bought on iTunes in my life (and no longer have any of the songs), iTunes has somehow taken the album art from those old albums and applied them to my new songs via artist association, and i'm not sure how to get rid of them.
For example, say I bought Michael Jackson's Thriller album. I don't have the Thriller album on my music collection, but instead bought the Best Of CD and made rips of that. When I load the Best Of into my phone, going to the music app and browse to Michael Jackson, instead of showing no album art, it shows the art for Thriller. So somewhere iTunes is storing album art for downloaded music, and auto-associating them with the artists in general, regardless if the album is there or not...
Edit: Just to note I do not use any album art at all, so the ultimate goal is to have zero album art for anything. Also, yes, I did check individual tracks for album art, every music track on my iPhone has no embedded album art.

sbeachi,
Welcome to the forums! I have not been able to find a way to have just the Album artwork update. You can try removing then re-adding the album/Songs through iTunes, for that is the way I was able to add artwork for my music that didn't sync correctly.
Hope that helps,
Weston

Anyone know how to delete an App from itunes library?

Hi All,
I have a number of Apps that I have tried to remove from my itunes account. These are just games that I no longer play or have never played.
First I tried selecting the App in itunes, then Edit/Delete then it will ask you if you want to remove file. Then I emptied the trash.
This did not work. Now every time an update is available for the previously deleted App it will download that update then try and re-download the full game.
Secondly I have tried going to "finder" and finding the file on the Mac HD. and then deleting the file/game this way.
This also did not work and again the game is try to re-download.
As you can imagine this is becoming quite annoying and is starting to clog up my downloads when I check for other updates.
Can anyone help???
Regards,
Pete

Thanks but this didn't resolve a thing.

I have no problem deleting the app from my mobile device.
The problem comes when I delete it from itunes and form my iMac. I know that the Apps are stored in the "mobile application" folder on my Mac HD. But even when deleting the file from that location the App still re-downloads every time I check for updates in itunes app store.
No matter how many times I delete the file and no matter where I delete it from, It always downloads again.
I no longer want these apps why can't I delete them completely?
