I'm unable to import cover art to my MPEG-4 movies that I've imported into iTunes. What gives? Where is the artwork tab? I'm running iTunes 11 on my Windows 7 laptop.

I thank you for the response. Apple does some assinine things sometimes and this is one of them. Ask the planet the difference between a movie and a home video and with the exception of Apple, you'd get 100% consenus on the what difference is. A home video is something that I shoot, like my kids birthday party. A movie is something I urchased either via download or a DVD that I ripped. Unbelievable! The fact that Apple has chosen not to distinguish based upon which folder I tell it is Movies and which folder is Home Videos is really hard to fathom - sounds like something Windows would do. I find it funny that in my iTunes movies sub-section of the movies section, the movie icons have a cloud icon in upper right corner to distinguish it as bought from Apple iTunes versus no cloud icon for movies that I have ripped - so the distintion was already made and clearly visible. Now - everything just defaults to "home videos" if I try to import a new ripped DVD - why even bother to have this distinction on the iTunes bar? WOW!
As for your direction, I do not understand what you are telling me - what Media Kind and what Options tab are you referring to? I see no Options tab in iTunes. Right licking on the movie icon does not yield media kind or options as well. Gping to the source file does not yield these options either.
Thanks again for your help.

Importing cover art - charges?

I've just started importing music into my Mac.
One option is to also import cover art. To do this, Apple requires that you have an iTunes Music Store account. This seems to imply that Apple charges for imported cover art (why require the account otherwise?), but I have not been able to find out whether this is true or not.
I wasn't intending on creating a music store account, nor do I want to provide credit card info online.
Please, is there a charge for importing cover art?
If not, then is it possible to create a music store account without providing credit card info?
Thanks.

Cover art is free, but you must have a store account. There's a couple of ways to do this: set up the account, then go back & delete the CC information, or buy an iTunes gift card to set up the account.

I have tried loading 3 different cds that I just bought into Itunes and I click the import cd button and it goes through the motions of importing the cds, but when I go to my library none of these cds is there. Help, please!

I have tried loading 3 different cds that I recently purchased into Itunes. I click the import cd button and Itunes goes through the motion of copying and importing the cds, but the songs are not in my music library. I have searched everywhere to find where these cds might be, but to no avail. Could really use some help here. Never used to have this problem.

Are they in the relevant artist & album folders when you look via Windows Explorer. If so something may have gone wrong with the index of the Music playlist. Download the current iTunes Free Single of the Week. I know it sounds odd, but it should fix the problem.
If that doesn't work close iTunes and delete the hidden file sentinel from inside the main iTunes folder, then start iTunes again. It should run a consistency check when it starts up.

When I try to import songs from a CD into iTunes it can't find the titles online. This wasn't a problem previously, now it is. There is nothing wrong with my internet. Any solutions? Help says try again later but no luck there.

To answer the post title FireFox save all downloads automatically in the download folder, which you can find in the Documents folder. If you want to choose where to save your downloads go to tools>options>check always ask me where to save files.
Secondly, I am assuming you have IE 8 installed as this is the only version that supports this fix that is currently not in beta. Go to control panel>internet options>advanced tab and reset the settings at the bottom. This may or may not fix the problem but it is a good first step.

I recently downloaded a movie with an avi extension, I changed it to .m4v and then tried to import it into iTunes but never goes through the importing process and it never shows up.

I recently downloaded a movie with an avi extension, I changed it to .m4v and then tried to import it into iTunes but never goes through the importing process and it never shows up.

That WON'T convert it.
If I do the same with an MP3 and change the extension to JPG, it DOESN'T make it a picture. It makes it unusable.
Change it back to AVI and download "Handbrake". http://handbrake.fr/
Use HandBrake to "convert" it to M4V.

HT1550 I'm having trouble with importing them into iTunes and converting them at the same time. when i hold down option over the files i can't find where its supposed to say create new version. is this if you're in iTunes?

You can't do it in one step. Add to iTunes first, Once the tracks are in iTunes you may convert to a different format.

I'm using Windows 8. I have 2 folders in my videos library - movies and personal videos. When I try to import a movie into iTunes, it puts it in the Home Video section and if I import a personal video, it puts it into the home video section. what up?

Im using Win8. I originally had all my ripped movies in a movie folder listed in the videos library. This imported into iTunes movies with no issue. I later added a second folder t my library - personal videos where i put all my home videos. I was able to import this into iTunes and it showed up in "Home Movies" - very cool and exactly what I wanted. Now, if I add a new ripped movie and put it in my movie librairy and try to import it into iTunes, it places it in Home Movies. And if I put a new personal video, it will also import into iTunes under 'Home Video?. What is going on here?? Any help would be greatly appreciated - it seems like this is a bug in iTunes 11.

How do I sync so that album art work in one library is copied over to another via home-sharing? Most of the artwork has been scanned and added by me.

I have three computers, each with its own iTunes Library, but if I add material to one, every few days I make sure that it's copied over to the others via homesharing. However, some of the metadata does not transfer, specifically the album art work. So on one library, call it my Home Library, everything is nice and tidy, with album artwork where it should be. On the other two, all the albums I've painstakingly made sure are complete on the home library are missing the art work.
Any thoughts? Tune Ranger and other iTunes maintenance apps don't seem to do the job, either. Coverscout, PowerTunes and Song Sargent also fail this task.

My understanding it iTunes handles artwork several ways. First, iTunes keeps a copy of all artwork in its artwork folder. Second, artwork can optionally be embedded in a media file. You can, for example, have an album where no artwork is actually in the files but all use a reference copy in the artwork folder. Even if a file has artwork embedded it may still use the version in the artwork folder.
Embedded artwork travels with the file when you copy the file.
I am hazy as to when exactly iTunes will embed artwork and when it won't. I believe, for example, if you use iTunes to fetch artwork it will not embed it, it will just place a copy in the artwork folder. Then too I never use iTunes to fetch artwork and I usually end up with artwork embedded in a file or two per LP (each embedded copy uses up more disk space). Now, I still use iTunes 7.5 and new versions may not behave exactly the same. If it was my version and I added artwork to a file it would embed it and it would transfer. It sounds like your artwork isn't embedded even if you are adding it the same way I would (I drag mine to the little arwork display box in the bottom left corner of my window, which apparently has vanished completely in iTunes 11).
You could try this for a file:
Script for embedding artwork - http://dougscripts.com/itunes/scripts/ss.php?sp=embedart
Just remember embedding artwork adds to each file size, so if you have 1000 files and you add 2 MB of high quality scans to each track you are taking up 2 GB more of drive space.

Importing a pdf into photoshop CC and it corrupts the artwork slightly but in older photoshop version it does not corrupt?

Hi
When Importing a pdf into photoshop CC it corrupts the artwork slightly but in older photoshop version it does not corrupt? Please help as this corruption slightly marked the artwork, it was then printed and is going to cost my company thousands to replace. [email protected]

"Slightly corrupted" sounds very much akin to "slightly pregnant". Hard to imagine.
I assume you're referring to some sort of image quality deterioration or some added artifacts.
Could you post a screen shot? Just so that someone familiar with PDFs opened in CC can form an idea of the nature of the "corruption" and where the cause might lie.
If you post back, please give complete hardware and software details about your setup, including the exact version of CC so they can see if all updates have been applied.
BOILERPLATE TEXT:
If you give complete and detailed information about your setup and the issue at hand,
such as your platform (Mac or Win),
exact versions of your OS, of Photoshop (not just "CS6", but something like CS6v.13.0.6) and of Bridge,
software settings,
machine specs, such as total installed RAM, scratch file HDs, total available HD space, video card specs, including total VRAM installed,
what troubleshooting steps you have taken so far,
what error message(s) you receive,
if having issues opening raw files also the exact camera make and model that generated them, etc.,
someone may be able to help you (not necessarily this poster).
A screen shot could be very helpful too.

HT1296 Is there a way to import photos from an iPad to a computer, that were originally synced with iTunes?

I recently had to reformat my computer, and unbeknowst to me, i only made a short cut to my directory, not a full copy.
Now my only copies of rather important images are on my ipad, however I am unable to download them as they were synced using iTunes originally. I've tried everything i could think of, including viewing hidden folders.
I really need these photos, I even tried sending them to myself via photostream, but I can only view. not save.
Please, if anyone has any advice I'd be forever greatful.

There are third-party apps such as Simple Transfer which can copy them back via your wifi network. But as photos are 'optimised' when they are synced to the iPad, any that you then copy back to a computer may not be exactly the same as they originally were on your computer e.g. their resolution may have changed, colourse may look different etc

How do i import into iMovie, movies that have been imported into iPhoto?

There seems to be no way iMovie imports movies from iPhoto. Can some one let me know how to do it?

That could very well be, but I'm surprised that .mov files didn't appear. You can try rebuilding your iPhoto Library too. To do this, quit iPhoto and iMovie. Hold down the ⌘ Command key + Option key and then launch iPhoto. You will see a dialog box that allows you to reconstruct/rebuild your iPhoto library. Check all the boxes as we don't know at this point exactly why the videos are not appearing. Then click OK and let it run until it finishes. If you have a lot of photos in your library, this may take quite a while. Once it's complete try opening iMovie and see what appears under the iPhoto Videos folder in the Event Library. I would expect to see at least the .mov files showing up.
If this last step fails, you may need to convert the video clips to a different file format. To do this go into iPhoto hold down the CTRL key and click on one of our video clips. Choose "Reveal in Finder". This will jump you over to the iPhoto Library folder and you can drag that video clip into a free app called MPEG Streamclip from Squared 5. Download that program from the link I've provided.
Basically, you drag the .mpg file into MPEG Streamclip. Then use FILE/EXPORT USING QUICKTIME and choose Apple Intermediate Codec (AIC) as your codec. iMovie will edit this like there was no tomorrow

HT5437 where is the credentials tab and where do you import the certificate authority chain from ?

How can I get apple tv to hook up to my WPA?WPA@ enterprise using apple configure?

Same here. With "Keychain Access" I've tried to cut/paste certificates as well as keys. Tried also to import items. Nothing seems to work. On my Mac I can see the items from my iPhone though.
There is very limited information from Apple about iCloud Keychain, and it seems to be limited to the activation and authorization procedures. All toubleshooting is related to these activities too.
