I can't add album I copied w/o losing existing music

I copied a CD to iTunes. When I try to add the new music to my iPhone iTunes threatens to remove all of the existing music on the iPhone. The same thing happens if I try manual mode.

That is the normal operation. When it says sync, this means that it will copy all the contents from itunes to your phone. If you sync your phone from a different PC/itunes before, and not load in the current library, those songs will be erased.

  • Can't add album artwork in iTunes 10.5.3.3

    I just installed iTunes 10.5.3.3 and now I can't add album artwork.  The Artwork tab is missing from Get Info.  Any ideas?

    I have the exact problem with this same iTunes version. However, I just did an experiment. It seems to be primarily limited to songs I've placed via FLAC files, which were "converted" using Fluke. Hmmm... Anyone have a fix for this?

Is there a way to add my movie to my iPod touch 2nd generation tuning 4.2.1

    Hiya!
    It depends on what kind of digital copy you have.  This article goes ino details regarding the two types, and depending on the type you have, you may or may not need the DVD to redeem the code.

  • Why did apple mail get much worse with lion osx?  I can't add recipients without copy and paste?

    why did apple mail get much worse with lion osx?  I can't add recipients without copy and paste?

    I went through updates on my three newest Macs this week.  As I stated I'm talking about iTunes 10.5.1 (42).  I am checking for updates now and I see 10.5.2 is now available.  I'll know in about 15 minutes if this issue is fixed or not.
    15 minutes later:
    I must have updated this PPC G5 a day or two before iTunes 10.5.2 came out.  I was able to update to 10.5.2 (11) and this copy/paste bug is fixed.  I'm happy again.

  • ITunes 7- Can't add album artwork

    Lotta dsicussion about this topic, but I haven't seen my particular problem come up. When I try to manually add album artwork nothing happens. I've seen other people say they couldn't get it to work when they just dragged the artwork, but I can't get it to work when I crt+click and get info either. When I get info and paste the artwork into the box, the image shows up, but when I click okay, nothin happens. I make sure the checkbox beside the artwork is checked before I hit Okay.
    Apple's automatic get album artwork worked pretty well, but only found about 80% of my albums. Pretty good considering the weird crap I listen to, but I'm pretty anal, and if 80% is gonna have artwork I want the rest to also.
    Would the problem be that my library is on an external HD?
    Is the problem that my computer (G3 ibook, 640MB SDRAM, OSX 10.4.7) is getting on in years? I can't think of any other ways to tell it to get the artwork, any help would be much appreciated!!

    For files that won't let you change their artwork, there are two primary things you can check.
    Firstly, make sure that the file is writable. If it is on a volume where permissions are managed, make sure you can write to both the file and the folder it is contained in. Select the file in iTunes, command-R, then use Get Info in the Finder to set the file/folder write access if necessary.
    Next make sure the Creator and Type of the file isn't set to an iTunes unfriendly type. I know this was an issue in previous versions of iTunes. For example, for an mp3 file Creator=hook Type=MPG3. I know this sounds like stupid advice, setting resource fork information when Apple is telling us to stay away from using resource forks in OS X. iTunes apparently hasn't heard the news.
    Perhaps adding album artwork to a file on an external volume is acting like the funny behavior of adding artwork to files on iPods. You apparently can't do it directly, but instead have to stage the artwork adding action on the volume which contains your iTunes Music folder, place the files in a temporary LIBRARY based playlist in iTunes, then drag copy the files from this playlist into the target iPod DEVICES playlist.
    It is no longer clear to me what actions constitute an embed artwork action (place associated artwork inside the ID3 tag area of the file itself) versus an attach artwork action (place associated artwork in a separate artwork folder). This is extremely confusing stuff for an application that begins with a lower case i.

  • Can't add album artwork in 10.6.3 (25)

    Hi.  Anyone having trouble adding artwork in 10.6.3?  I have some albums I've burned onto my disk (library sits on a seperate drive), and I've downloaded album artwork from the web but I can't add it in iTunes in the 'Get Info' option.  Everything is greyed out except photos in my iPhoto that I've taken.  I've tried adding the photos to iphoto.  Any help would be appreciated.

    Hi there,
    I have the same issue. So basically when I Rip a DVD into the library I am unable to update the artwork. If I purchase a movie or TV show via iTunes, the artwork is there...Its just updating for me that doesnt work. updating other information like title or sorting or Category - these all work fine.
    I wanted to ask something - are all of you using a NAS for your itunes library or are some of your experiencing this with your library on the MAC or via USB? I had loads of errors with my Itunes library being on a NAS type device and the only way I fixed all my previous errors was by opening iTunes in 32bit mode - however this is now not possible.
    My next test is to see if I use my Windows machine to import the move, change the artwork, then try copy that to the MAC and reimport...Mission but would be good to see if this would work.
    Its very annoying and it seems we all have issues but no official acknoledgement from Apple?

  • 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

  • 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.

    As someone's investigation like below;
    It is NOT working the way of adding an Album Art in your POD
    On the contrary of this, When we use a mode of 'Sync' files
    from my ITUNE's Library Lists than it worked outrageously
    Yea, the other users have been faced with this
    freaky yeuky things earlier than me. So the light bulb
    is : We gotta waiting for Patching for ITUNE7.
    ps : Sometimes, But the SYNC mode make my hands and
    my body everything tired...
    I hope someone might be helpful
    pps : DO any better idea? Catch Me then
    and Thx read my lame phrase....

  • Can't add Album artwork to certain files.

    Hi, I've come across an anomaly in iTunes. There are certain audio files that cannot, for any reason update album artwork. I update album art work but selecting the file in iTunes then "get info" -> "add album artwork". But on certain files these tabs, as well as lyrics, are greyed out. The audio files are ACC 128bits. The only thing I found in common with the files that won't get album art work or lyrics is that they were encoded with iTunes 4.7. The only fix I can see is reconverting them in another version of iTunes, but this seems like a really dumb fix. Mostly I'm just wondering if there are any other people that have this problem and what fix you came up with, or what would cause a specific version of iTunes to not allow artwork.

    Instead of opening the album under "Get Info" and going into the Artwork tab, try clicking on the square box with a triangle in it located on the bottom left side of the iTunes window. This will display the ablum artwork inside the side bar. Click on the top of the album artwork box where it says "Now Playing" and it will change into "Selected Item". Select a song you're trying to get the album artwork for and see what it says in the box. If it says "Album Artwork Not Modifiable" then you might have a problem with the kind of file the music is. Granted, this shouldn't be any different than going into "Get Info" and trying it there, but at least this way you can tell for sure what the issue is. If the box says "Drag Album Artwork Here" then go ahead and drag the picture there and it should work. Sometimes checking the album artwork box helps you more understand what the issue is. Hope this helps!

  • Can't add Album Art on Covert Window

    Hi.
    When I select various items of an album and in the covert art window try to add a covert to all them together ( with "Item selected" active on the window ) it doesn't allow me to add the picture. If I do it to an active track, it works. If I do it selecting "Show Information" in the pop up menu, it works, but the problem is that I can't add a secondary covert art this way. I was able to do this in all iTune's previous versions, but not now. Is this a bug? I have been checking all my preferences, even enabling and disabling them but nothing works.
    Hugs
    Tomtzart

    Yeah that's probably a bug - I used to always select all songs in an album and then drag/drog a pic from the finder to the artwork window without a problem - Until I upgraded to latest iTunes 7 - now it doesn't work...
    Hopefully this will be fixed in the next revision...
    Rgds,

    That should take you the Account Setttings window where you can change your payment type.

  • Trying to add itunes account for new phone, sharing existing music folder

    My wife's phone is already linked to the admin user account on my imac.
    I have created another account to use for linking my own iphone 4 to.
    I have tried the directions I have found so far for making the folder of our current music available to the new account: I moved the itunes media folder to the public folder, and went to the advanced setting in itunes in both the original account and in the new account, and pointed itunes to the newly located folder - music only shows in the original account.  Going to itunes with the new account doesn't let me see any of our existing music.
    I have not yet added my iphone to the new account.  Will doing so help itunes set itself up?

    You can have more than one account authorised on the same iTunes on your computer, but having/using just the one account us usually the best approach.
    If you created a new iTunes account then you can log out of it on the iPad by tapping on it in Settings > Store and then log in with the old account. If you bought / downloaded any content with that new account then that content will be tied to that account and it can't be copied or transferred to a different one - so if you want to keep that content you will need to remember the account name and password in order to download any app updates to its purchases and in case you ever need to re-authorise the account again.
    As long as you old iTunes account is authorised on the computer's iTunes (Store > Authorise This Computer) that you connect the iPad to (and your content is on your computer), you should be able to sync content from that account to the iPad.

  • Can't add album to library

    OK, I have a very weird problem... I purchased and downloaded some music from the internet, and when I try to add to iTunes it says it loaded them, and transfers songs to "iTunes Music" folder, but the songs just don't appear.
    I also discovered that if you make a playlist and add the songs directly there they do show up. But they are not in the main "music" part... and if you do a search they don't come up. I've tried restarting, both software and system. No clue what to do... it'd be really inconvenient if I can only listen to these songs through a playlist

    OK, I just downloaded the new 10.0.1 and suddenly all the songs in the album appeared, like 4 times each, lol... guess that's solved
