I can only drag artwork on single songs

With itunes 6, you could select a bunch of songs (ie, an album of songs), drag a jpg file to the square, dump it there, and it'll be attached to all the songs.
With itunes 7 I can only add album covers one by one. (ie, song by song).
I hope this is a bug (or that I'm doing something wrong) rather than design.

It seems to be a bug.
As a workaround, select all tracks of an album and Get Info (command-I).
Drop the picture in the small artwork pane and click OK.
This time the artwork will be added to all tracks.
Hope this helps.

I got a new computer, told it library was on external hd, no problem. A lot of artwork was missing though (NOT manual artwork, only previous artwork I'd asked itunes to find). I ran 'get artwork' but it's only asigned artwork to the1st song in each album

So, I got a new computer. As my itunes library has gone through a few in its time, it lives permanently on my external hard drive, as this generally makes moving to new computers hassle free. I told my freshly intsalled itunes on my new computer where to find the library and it got all my songs, movies etc no problem. However, some albums were missing artwork (NOT any of the albums I had ever manually added artwork to, thank god, these all seemed to be intact, jut ones where itunes had previously got artwork for me). I asked itunes to get missing artwork, as is par for the course. This it did, but it has only installed artwork for one song per album (generally the first song, or the lowest numbered track for incomplete albums, as far as I can tell).
It does not acknowledge these songs as missing artwork when I create a smart playlist but, erm, they are - the artwork doesn't show up on the display in the bottom LH corner or in the info tab. WHY? When I've added new albums 'get artwork' has always added artwork for EACH song on the album in every previous itunes I've ever had. I don't get it at all.
I appreciate it might be irreperably messed up, but please don't reply with any manual adding solutions. I have over 25,000 songs in my library and to go through and manually ask itunes to add artwork to each song (apart from the first on the album which already has it) would take SO LONG it makes me want to die inside.
I can't find anything else on this. Other people have had issues with itunes match and devices, but these songs don't even have artwork on itunes, let alone on my ipod, iphone etc.

Well my first guess was wrong. The line that failed is the one that writes out the image to disk. I've not revisited the code for that script for ages, but it seems I did add in an extra test for missing files a little while later, then forgot to upload the change. I can reproduce the error message if I deliberately rename a file to confuse iTunes so that seems the most likely reason for your problem with the script. I've uploaded a new build of CreateFolderArt which should work better.
See FindTracks for a tool to repair broken links. You should probably get that issue fixed first.

Can I drag and drop single photos into Events?

Hi guys. I've very recently ordered a new Mac that will have iLife 08 on it. Before I get started with it I've got a question about Events. I've been using iPhoto for the last several years, organizing my photos into albums. I've cleaned up my images to around 1,000 photos, and I plan to only use events for organization. (I don't want to use Events AND albums, don't see the point, I'm going to try using ONLY Events.) But I've got a few scenerios that I'd like to throw by you all, to see if they would work, as I'm hoping that they will...
I don't shoot photos into pre-defined "Events", I shoot photos by what I feel like shooting. "Hey, my dog is doing something funny" - There's 3 pictures, or "Wow that's a big spider!" - 1 picture, or "My little neice is doing something cute" - There's 4 pictures. I do not want 450 events, each containing 1 - 5 pictures.
Can I drag and drop single pictures into different events? For example, have an Event called "Friends" with pictures of my friends in it, that I put there? Or an event called "Concerts" with photos taken throughout the years?
I hope I've made it clear what I'm looking to get out of Events!
Thanks in advance for any help.

Exactly - I think he will want to matain his existing structure -- people are making too much of the name change from rolls to events.
I have events with one photo and events with as many as 2000 photos -- I like this better than rolls but albums, folders and keywords are still the key to granular organization - events are ust the library to hold my photos
To me it is a small step forward that makes organization much easier (and it was not that hard before)

PS - now if I could just get all of my edits to save - where are TD and OT to solve that one for me?

ITUNES - can't drag more than 4 songs from hard drive to My Library

Has anyone else had this problem? For some reason, I can only drag 4 songs from My Documents on my PC to My Library in Itunes. If I try 5, it won't drag any of them and I have to start over.
Help!?!?!

you can use the program iPodRip to get all of your songs back into your computer. It automatically puts the songs in iTunes for you and it works great. Here is the site. http://www.thelittleappfactory.com/application.php?app=iPodRip

Hello Everyone,
I have a MacBook older model with me.I am running 10.7.6 on that, I was trying to use BootCamp to install windows on my mac. Since BootCamp can only work on a single Volume, I partitioned my Hard Disk to one volume.
Using BootCamp I installed windows and everything worked fine. After installing windows and testing everything, I switched back to OS X and this time I tried to make another partition on my single portioned Mac volume and named it Backup. That too worked. Now I have three Volumes
1)Development2)Backup3)BootCamp.
Next when I switched to Windows, It should the classic error, No Bootable device found, please insert a Bootable CD and press any key. When I tried to enter my Mac OS X install DVD and by pressing option key, it does not show me the proper Mac OS X development volume. It keeps going back to the No bootable device found message.
Any help will be much appreciated
Regards
Mithun

you can't add a partition in between - you put Windows to a new partition number.
GPT (GUID)
EFI
Mac HFS
Lion Recovery
Windows
And now you have two HFS
One partition and one Windows (plus Lion Recovery).
If you were to have more, it can't be before Windows for one thing.

Attach file command doesn't work on Mail? Can only drag into message.

Paper clip does not work. Message Attach file does not work. Can only attach a file by dragging it into a new message.

I just checked this and it works fine for me. Do you have any Mail plugins you're using? If you open the Console application (in /Applications/Utilities) and search for "Mail" do you see any warning messages?

HT204406 Uploaded CD last night. I see it in itunes match. However can only download some of the songs. Few have the Icon to download from Itunes Match, however it is not able to be clicked on. It's a lighter icon then other download ones.

I uploaded a CD last night. I see it in my ituned match on my work cpu. I can download 6 of the 10 songs. The other 4 have an Icon to download from Itunes Match, however it is not able to be clicked on. // See Pearl Jam Ten. I can download almost half the songs. The others remaining I cannot though they say they are available. I've reset the cache, I've closed and reopened Itunes, I have even turned MATCH off and then back on. Nothing is working. Please help. Also the song will not play. If I start the album, it skips over these songs.

The number of Songs that 'matched' is simply a function of the current iTunes Match service process. It is not unusual to have multiple Songs in an otherwise perfectly matched album be uploaded - often it is very possible to find the album in the iTunes Store.
The Artwork does tend to reappear for many over a few days / weeks - however, if your library backup has all Artwork present it would be wise to save the Album Art separately and reapply to Albums not showing art work in the library grid view.
Many of the other performance issues you mention are not typical - though during the past working week or so the Apple Infrastructure has been very heavily loaded with multiples countries having service go-live symultaneously.

HT2731 mertz is curiois if music can only be purchased by the song or does iTunes have a monthly/unlimited type of thing?

im curious if music has to be puchased by the song or is there some sort of monthly pymnt per 100 songs or unlimited? i wish to start a catalogue of some music from several genres...help?

The iTunes Store only sells music by the song or by the album. It does not offer subscriptions.
Emusic.com provides monthly subscriptions. Their songs are in MP3 format, and are compatible with iTunes and all iDevices.
If you would like to try unlimited streaming rather than downloads, check out Spotify.

Can not drag and drop any songs into playlists or ipod.

My iTunes is getting really frustrating. I can not put any of my music onto my ipod because iTunes simply won't let me drag and drop. It won't let me do it onto playlists either, and I don't want to sync my iPod to my iTunes library. I already checked the source files, and made sure that iTunes isn't 'Read Only' but it didn't work and I'm at a complete loss at what to do. Help would be greatly appreciated!
Note: I'm a Windows user (stinky windows) and I have the latest version of iTunes. This hasn't happened before, and it was going on even before I updated my iTunes.

Click in the header of the very first column before the track name.
If any other column is selected, iTunes sorts on that column.

How can I drag and drop a song from my "Purchased" list on to my i-Pod?

I've recently updated the apple software on my PC and the new version of i-Tunes won't let me drag and drop songs from my "Purchased" list directly to my i-Pod. I don't want to sync my i-Pod. It will erase all the songs on my i-Pod and sync with the playlist from my PC. I want to select just one song from my "Purchased" list and put that on my i-Pod.

I got my own answer !! I saw it on another post. Select "View" and then toggle down to "View Sidebar".
Now I can drag and drop like before.

Can only import one or two songs at a time from a cd into itunes

Please help. I had a new hard drive put into my imac flat panel g4. When I try to import music from a cd into itunes it closes or freezes itunes after one or two songs have been imported.

hmmmm. do you have any other USB 2.0 peripherals plugged in to the PC?
if so, try (experimentally) disconnecting them prior to a sync. (sometimes power drain through one port can affect an ipod connection on a different port.)
any improvement in sync performance if you try that?
love, b

My iPhone can only display and play purchased songs after updating to 8.1.3

After updating to 8.1.3, all of my songs refuse to even show up on my iPhone if they were not purchased on the iTunes store. I should have about 5 gbs of music on my phone but I only see 7 songs I purchased from albums in the iTunes store. I tried synching to iTunes, re-adding music, restoring it. This was not a problem until I updated the iOS. How do I get this fixed?

did u ever find an answer?
