I can no longer add album art work in iTunes version 10.6.0.40

WHY can I no longer add album art work in iTunes version 10.6.0.40? It is maddening. I have checked many boards and discussion groups but no one has a sure fix. Why is Apple not tending to this problem? They of all groups should know the importance of how something looks.

I had the the same problem albeit with an m4v (same hardware and OS rev too!, iTunes 10.6.3). I was able to add the movie to a new library per Limnos' suggestion here, indicating that iTunes wasn't totally busted. However, I was also able to see the movie in the Recently Added smart playlist (another hat tip to Limnos), although it still did not appear in the Movies section of my iTunes library. (It was also in the iTunes Library.xml file.)
So I called AppleCare, and they directed me to move the file from the external drive where it was living, into the /Users/<Your Name Here>/Movies directory, and to "Add to Library" (Command-O) from that location. Sure enough (and much to my surprise), it showed up immediately (duplicated, actually) in the Movies section of my iTunes library. Subsequent additions to my Library have not misbehaved similiarly.

How do i get album art work without itunes account?

How to i get the album art work without haveing an itunes account?

Copy the cover art from anywhere on the web: amazon, allmusic, etc. Right-click the song, Get Info, go to the Artwork tab, and paste it in.

How do I add album art not using iTunes

How do I add album art without first importing the songs into iTunes? Is there a program that will do this?

Well, my preferred method is to use a web search engine, restrict it to display artwork, then choose the best. Slow but sure.
Browse the wwww.pure-mac.com web site for free utilities out there. I am sure there are many commercial packages to "clean up" iTunes but frankly I think they are hype.
See if there is something on the Dougscripts web site.
I know I have utilities such as XLD that do it as part of the CD ripping process.

Can no longer add cover art

Since the latest iTunes update, I don't seem to be able to add cover art (manually) anymore, which is something I need. When I do paste in or drag over, the display on iTunes (and affected tracks copied to my iPod) is a solid black square. In the 'Get Info' for particular tracks, it shows a white box outlined in black.
I had this problem I think once before some years back, and found useful advice that worked, but no luck this time.

Thanks rjlockett... I am looking to add my own Artwork for home movies manually. I did not see a way to do that with iFlicks. But the auto artwork works just fine. Thanks for posting. Also the other thing is I use video convertors already. Pavtube and Leawo which work really well for me. And my iTunes server is a 2 TB NAS by Buffalo so it is getting tough to manage these different libraries etc. Do you know if iFlicks can work on a remote server running iTunes server?

Cannot import album art since new Itunes version

Since last update, I can no longer import picture files of any type as album art. Any thoughts? The file comes in as a black background.

I am having the same issue. If I close itunes and open with a new CD already in the drive, it will find it. But once that CD has been imported and ejected, itunes does not find the newly inserted CD and there is no command to tell itunes to "look" in the CD drive

Every time I try to add album art work to some albums nothing happens, it's the same for the metadata. Nothing changes when I try to change artwork/genre/artist etc. Any help?

I can't change any of the metadata for some of my albums and see blank artwork really bugs me, I'm a little OCD about it.

That is the highest you will be able to go with 3g. You need 3gs or 4 to go any higher (multi processors and more memory needed). Version 4.2.1 marks the end of your updates for that device.

ITunes no longer fetches album art from foreign iTunes stores?!

I have been having some trouble getting art for music available in other iTunes stores for a few days now. I can't get art for a few of my imported CDs. I even tried out clearing album artwork from an album I already for which I already had artwork and got the little "no artwork available" message when I tried to re-download its cover art.
I emailed support and got this reply, from "Laura":
+Unfortunately, if the content you are importing into iTunes is not on the iTunes Store that your account country is from, iTunes will not recognize it and you wont be able to grab the album artwork from another country.+
This is news to me! When did this change occur, or is "Laura" just mistaken? I seriously hope it's just a bug. I've been getting artwork from foreign iTunes stores since iTunes 7 first came out in 2006... why ruin a good thing now??

I believe this is the case as iTunes no longer recognizes "Province" by TV on the Radio as having artwork, when it's clearly available in the UK store.
It's especially distressing when I purchase actual CDs from other countries specifically because they are not available in the US. Why is the artwork "region locked" is beyond me, but that's generally what happens when you play by their rules.
I suppose the only work around is to scan the artwork yourself or pull it from another site.

HT1651 I can no longer add new music to my itunes account or update the software on my macbook b/c there's not enough hard disk space. What do I do?

HELP!!! What do I need to do? New hard drive, more memory, external hard drive? I would like to transfer my itunes library to an external hard drive to free up space and continue to add to itunes, but if I transfer my current library do I lose it next time I sync my ipod?
Jen

No, you can copy your music folder to an external hard drive. Once you have moved it, launch iTunes while holding down the option key on your keyboard. A dialog box will come up asking you where the library is that you want to use. Select the library on your external hard drive.
Once you have confirmed that this works, you can delete the iTunes library on your internal hard drive. Remember to empty the Trash after you put the folder in there.
Note that if you disconnect your MacBook from the external hard drive (a possibility - it is a portable computer after all) you will not have access to that music.
Syncing your iPod should go as normal.
Best of luck.

How can I add/change art work to albums where the art work isn't available at iTunes?

How can I add/change art work to albums where the art work isn't available at iTunes?

Go to google and search for the artwork. When you find it, save it to your computer. Right click the album and select get info. Drag the image you saved to the empty box for album art.

I can't add album art

When I try to add album art to, well my album, the image I choose is not sticking. My album is also in a playlist.
Here is what I am doing.
Select all (every song in the playlist is from the same album I would like to add album art to.)
Click 'Get Info'
Drag a picture from my desktop to the little artwork box in the bottom right hand corner and click the little check box next to it.
Click 'ok'.
Wait a few seconds. Nothing happens.
Now the problem is, after I go through those steps the image does not transfer over to the songs. Individually or for the whole album.
I thought it would be a computer issue or one of those weird things where the album art shows on my iPad but not my computer so I tried sycing my iPad up and still nothing.
A couple of things as well:
I did click ADVANCED > GET ALBUM ARTWORK, it does not work.
I did not buy the album from iTunes, I bought it as a digital download from a different site.
I converted all the songs to AAC, I ust thought it would help.
There is no option to add album artwork to individual songs. On an individual song, I click "get info" but there is no option to add art work to individual songs.
As of 7/24/12, I have the most recent version of iTunes.
Please help, this can't be this complicated.

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.

Can't add album art to some tracks

Using iTunes 7.4.2 (4)
I have some MP3 files that don't have album art. For some of the albums, I've been able to use iTunes to download the art. For others, I've had to manually copy/paste the art in the Artwork field under the Get Info menu item. But, there are some MP3s that I have that don't have album art and iTunes can't find them. I can go under Get Info and paste some art into the Artwork field (I see it in the field) but when I click OK, it doesn't save. I go back into the Get Info and there's nothing there.
How can I get album art for these tracks?
Also, I have a few tracks that have the Artwork tab under Get Info completely grayed out and I can't select it. How can I activate that feature for these tracks?
Thanks!
Bronson

I am not sure how much use this will be, but for what its worth here is the way I add artwork. I don't drag and drop. I mainly use a widget Amazon Art, this alows you to access the Amazon websight and find the appropriate album cover then add it to the iTunes library, one of the operating options is selscted tracks, which involves you highlighting the album before you click on set as album artwork, which I find more relyable than currently playing track or album.
Slightly more reliable than the widget is to find art work and then copy it (If you use Amazon, its always worth clicking on show larger image of the album). Then select the entire album, in itunes and then use Command (Ctrl on a PC I suspect) and i. This allows you to paste in album art work for the entire album. It has never failed me in the past. One word of warning, be a little careful in editing double albums or various artist albums as it is easy to combine the two albums or make an entire album by a single artist.
Hope you find his of some help

Shared albums can no longer add photos

Hi,
I have a couple of shared photo albums (iCloud) that I use to share photos with my parents and maybe once or twice a month I add new photos to them. But for some reason I can no longer add photos? I can drag my new photos to these albums and everything appears normal, but nothing ever happens. Just earlier I added the photos I wanted to share to a new album and it worked fine. So is there any kind of a limit or shelf life to a shared album or what could be causing the ones I normally use not to be updated any longer?
Thanks,
rc

ok i have read this but:
1. album 1 has 1119 photos and album 2 has 560
2. both albums are shared with only 1 person
3. i have not uploaded photos to these albums in over a month
4. i have not received any notifications about overuse
so does this make sense? thanks for the help...
