HT204406 Added album art in iTunes missing after updating in iTunes Match

I have updated album cover art in iTunes. Many are missing still so I added them for other sources. These album covers show up in ITunes on my computer. I then select update iTunes Match which appears to be happening. However, when I then view my collection in Music on my iPad or through Apple TV only some instances of my added art appear.
Does anyone know why the other examples don't appear and what I can do about it?
Stuart

Try unchecking the box that says Display Alblum Artwork and then click apply, then check it again and click apply once more. If all else fails restore your ipod and load all the music back onto it and the artwork will come with it.

Adding Album Art to iTunes Local Folder?

I have a setup on iTunes on my Dell Dimension Desktop Machine. Basically I have uploaded ALL my CD collection to HDD in WAV format to retain sound quality.
My problem is with getting all the Album Art to work.
About one third of my collection iTunes does not have the Album Art? so I have scanned it all manually and placed an Folder.jpg in each Album/Track Folder.
I appreciate that WAV music files don't have a means of adding extra data to them like MP3 files, therefore, iTunes saves its own downloaded Album Art in a folder called "Download", there is also another Folder called "Local" which is where your manually added Album Art should go?
These are stored as .itc files
However then I try to manually try to add my own album art to the album, by selecting all tracks, Get info, Add album art to the white square and pressing OK nothing happens?
In the Artwork display box it say in large text "Artwork Not Modifiable"? for some reason?
Any ideas??

Hi Andrew. As far as plug&play, I have not found anything. My best bet was to use a proper utility to grab album art on a go forward basis for all new tracks, and then for the old tracks that have the incorrect metadata, I slowly go through, open up a browser with amazon.com loaded, and then search for the albums/related art that I need. Once I find it I click on the album art in the main browser, which spawns a child window with just the jpeg of the album art in it, and then drag and drop it from that browser into the album art pane. Far from plug and play, but it gets the job done.

Most albums missing album art on iPod Touch after updating to iOS 7

Hi there,
I updated my 5th-gen iPod Touch to iOS 7 yesterday.
As the activation servers were overloaded for most of the afternoon, the update failed for me and my iPod touch ended up wiped and in recovery mode.
I installed a blank iOS 7 and then restored my settings from the previous day's iCloud backup.
I then reuploaded all my music from iTunes to the iPod.
Most of the album art is missing from the iPod and it's making me very sad. All the album art is visible in iTunes, so this is rather confusing. There seems to be no consistency to it, between albums I bought on iTunes or albums I bought elsewhere and ripped to MP3 and added to my iTunes library, or albums for which I got the art directly from iTunes or by adding it myself.
I'm using a PC with Windows 8 and the latest version of iTunes, if this matters.
Any ideas?

That happens sometimes
Try:
- Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Unsync all music and resync
- Reset all settings
Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
- Restore from backup. See:
iOS: How to back up
- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.

Missing album art in iTunes Match

Ever since I joined iTunes Match album art is missing from several albums. I have read that this is a glitch in iTunes Match, but after spending a lot of time carefully curating a very large music collection (including scanning in art work for the albums that I had purchased outside of iTunes matching the size of the art work for albums purchased in iTunes), this is frustrating enough that I will not renew my iTunes Match subscription next year if it isn't fixed. Does anyone know if there is a fix for this yet? I appreciate any feedback. Thanks in advance.

I solved the problem selecting all the songs of an album, getting information pannel (command i) and dropping a new artwork found on Google.
Choose an artwork smaller than 1000x1000.
Thats it.

HT204406 Adding my library to iTunes Match

I just purchased a subscription to iTunes Match and during step 3 of the 'add this computer' portion I get an error and iTunes needs to close. This aborts the uploading of my library. The end result is I have purchased Match, but cannot use it.

hi,
....... I guess I can't import it straight to iTunes Match ........
well that is exactly the contrary of what the late Steve Jobs promised in the keynote about iTunes match.
" ...... adding ones own CDs would then take a few seconds than rather 2-4 minutes ....... "
as I own some 1400+ CDs I thought match would be the solution.
and I hoped that there would be different match fees - like it is in the cloud.
I don't want to runt about a deceased persons promises but Apple Inc. should at least try to honor its founders words ....
if that feature will not be implemented rather sooner than later I will cancel match - it was the only reason why I was waiting for it since the very day of its announcement .

Update embedded Album Art from iTunes Store?

Missing Album Art is automatically added to my iTunes library. Excellent!
But I have a large number of albums/songs with embedded album art of low quality (200x200). Is there a way to update these without having to manually delete the old Album Art for each song individually?
Is there a way to embed the album art from iTunes into the mp3-files instead of storing them externally (in the iTunes Album Art directory?) Probably not........

Is there a way to update these without having to manually delete the old Album Art for each song individually?
Well, you don't have to do it individually -- you can select all the songs for which you want to delete, right-click and select "Get Info", then check the Artwork box, then click OK. This will delete all the artwork for those songs (permanently!)
Is there a way to embed the album art from iTunes into the mp3-files instead of storing them externally (in the iTunes Album Art directory?)
I have a script to do just that. You have to download it first (say, to your Desktop)
http://teridon.googlepages.com/itunesinsertartwork.vbs
Then you have to run it using the Command Prompt:
1) Bring up a command prompt (Start..All Programs..Accessories..Command Prompt)
2) Enter these commands:<pre>cd Desktop
cscript itunesinsertartwork.vbs</pre>
3) Select the playlist (or select the whole Library with "1") which contains the songs for which you want to embed the artwork.
NOTE:Embedding artwork will cause your files to take up more hard drive space because for downloaded artwork iTunes only needs one copy. Embedding the artwork makes a copy of the artwork for every song with that artwork. Artwork files from the iTMS are typically 400-500 KB each.

Displaying ipod album art in itunes

I have a question about the iPod's display of album art in iTunes when it is plugged into my computer. I had been getting really frustrated for the better part of the evening after adding a bunch of album art to my music, updating it on the iPod (I do manual update so I dragged the songs onto the iPod after adding the art), and then clicking on them in the iPod's library in iTunes only to see that there was no album art there. What gives?
However, I realized that I was getting annoyed for no reason when I checked it out in the iPod itself, after I disconnected it. All of the album art is there.
So here is the strange behavior I have observed this evening: if I had to go out on the internet and find cover art myself, and add it manually to the files in iTunes, it displays in the iPod's library in iTunes. If iTunes helpfully went out and found the cover art for me automatically, it does NOT display in the iPod library in iTunes (although it is actually there when you go to play the music on the disconnected iPod). I went through the iPod's library in iTunes and this is consistently what is happening.
Obviously this isn't a life-or-death kind of situation, but I was wondering if anyone else has noticed this behavior or knows why this happening. For what it's worth, my entire iTunes library is on an external hard drive, and all of my music is on there in the same place. Do you think iTunes is storing the art in separate places depending on whether I added it or it found it on its own? Would this even matter? I am very curious about this. Thanks for any insight anyone has for me.
5g iPod (video) 80 GB Mac OS X (10.4.8) iTunes 7

when i play the music on the iPod the albums show up
no problem... but when the iPod is connected to
iTunes, and i'm browsing my ipod via itunes, only
some album art shows up...
IE: beck guero, has album art in the itunes library,
it also has the art on the ipod if i play it with the
ipod disconnected from my mac. it DOES NOT show album
art when connected to itunes and view the ipod within
itunes...
whats the deal? some albums are just fine, but the
vast majority of them dont display the art while in
itunes... again, if i disconnect the ipod and view
them on the ipod, there is no problem all albums
display.
any help is appreciated.
Just so you know, you're not going crazy and you're not the only one that's seeing this. I'm seeing the same behavior with a 30GB 5G iPod and iTunes7 under Windows XP.

Updating Album Art, when iTunes says "Album Artwork Not Modifiable"

How can I go about updating or adding album art when the Artwork area at the lower left corner of iTunes says, "Album Artwork Not Modifiable"? Every effort to add the artwork from iTunes has failed. When I paste the album photo from another site, it doesn't save.

I figured this out. I found that the folder and files only had "read" privileges and not "read & write" privileges. I did the following:
1. In finder I right clicked the parent folder for iTunes and selected "Get Info".
2. Selected my user and changed the rights to "read & write".
3. This step is the most important. With my user still selected in blue, you click on the options "cog wheel" below the users, at the bottom. Select, "Apply to the enclosed items". It may ask you again if you are sure, say "yes". By doing this you will apply your users "read & write" privileges to all folders and files underneath your iTunes folder.
This worked for me and I wish you the best!

The control click and external mouse right click no longer works when copying and pasting album art within itunes. Ex. Hit get info for one song to paste to the rest, copying the artwork wont work when it used to.

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.

Extract Album art from iTunes?

is it possible to extract and backup the album art in iTunes?
I have a lot that I have had to put in manually and I would like to be able to save it..
Also it looks like some tracks in some albums, for some reason, never had art loaded to the, although the rest of the album is fine. I need to extract the art from one track on theses albums and put it back in the track with missing artwork

Ok, thanks
Finally managed to work out where and how to copy the artwork. Since there was no right click option when selecting artwork in an albums Get Info page, I did not think about using CMD C or CMD V. It wont copy from Album Get Info, but will from the individual tracks
I see you can also copy/paste using the Edit drop down in the menu bar, but for me that is a pain as I have three screens and I had been working with the iTunes Windows in the third screen....the first screen being the primary screen with the menu bar. Bloody stupid having only one menu bar when you have multiple screens.
Thanks for your help

How do I Replace album art in ITunes 12

How do I replace album art in ITunes 12. Before the upgrade I was able to delete and paste a new one in get info. No can do now!

The new iTunes 12 Get Info dialog lacks right-click context menus (at least for now) but it still accepts most standard keyboard shortcuts and drag & drop actions.
Delete Artwork
On the artwork tab of Get Into, tap the image in question, use Backspace or Ctrl+X. Delete doesn't work.
Or, tap the image at the top left of Get Info, this time use Backspace or Delete, it is Ctrl+X that doesn't work.
Add Artwork
Select artwork, press Ctrl+C to copy, tap the centre of the Artwork tab, press Ctrl+V to paste.
Or, select artwork, press Ctrl+C to copy, tap the small image area at the top left, press Ctrl+V to paste.
Or, you can drag & drop to, or sometimes from, the same locations.
You can also copy artwork from the Get Info dialog to Windows Explorer with the keyboard shortcuts.
If the source image is on a web page right-click and use Copy Image rather than copy. (With Chrome I get a one pixel wraparound so tend to go for a temporary local copy anyway - not sure whose bug this is, but it isn't new.)
If you have multiple images embedded drag the one you want to be the primary artwork to the leftmost position.
Replace/Remove All Artwork
The top left image box can be used to add or delete art from multiple tracks. In either case all existing artwork in all tracks is replaced/removed.
Old Style Get Info Dialog
Select some items, right-click, hold down shift, then click Get Info from the context menu. (Use alt/option on a Mac)

IPhone album art from iTunes not downloading

Recently, I have not been able to get my album art from iTunes to download to my phone. It appears in my iTunes on my computer, but will not transfer. It also will not appear on my phone when I purchase the music FROM my phone, but appears in my computer's iTunes. I've reset my phone, but the problem continues. This problem has only been happening for about the last two months and I've had my phone over a year. (iPhone 4, Verizon)

the album covers are fine on itunes on my computer, but on my iphone they don't work. as in, when I sync my iphone to itunes, it switches the covers around to different covers. it seems to be random.
