In iTunes 10.4 or 10.5 beta I can't add artwork

In iTunes 10.4 or 10.5 beta I can't add artwork to ALAC files by pasting or dragging them to the album.
Please fix this.

It's a bug with iTunes 10.4.0.80 (and presumably the beta?). If you copy and paste from some web browsers or an image editor then iTunes pastes in a transparent image of the same dimensions. This shows up black in the artwork panel at the bottom left or white in the get info art viewer.
If you work with an image file stored on your computer you should get better results. Use the artwork box on the Info tab of the Get Info. dialog for multiple tracks to replace all existing images. With a single track you will need to delete the existing corrupt images from the Artwork tab first.

Can't add artwork to iTunes...

I have been adding art work gradually to my iTunes for the songs I ripped from my CDs. I was doing just fine by highlighting the entire album, right clicking, hitting "Get Info", and just adding the art work. But just recently it has decided that enough is enough, and will not add any more. In the art work box where a plus used to show up when you drag a picture over, now a circle with a slash through it appears. And I have tried this with all sorts of bands so I know it has nothing to do with a certain one. Plus the fact that I don't have any .WAV files on iTunes, so I have no idea what it could be.

Hi, i have got the same problem...i got the new version of itunes and i was adding artwork to my albums and it worked for the first 5 albums but then itunes stopped saving the artwork to any other songs....i made sure none of the songs were read only, which they were not.....i can put the artwork on the song but it does not save it, if i click off the song it disappears...and if i add artwork to a group of songs if never shows up, like nothing ever happened....i have uninstalled and reinstalled and its the same....any help would be great..thanks

Can't add artwork to itunes movies

Hi,
I am using Video Converter Ultimate to load my dvd collection in iTunes movies. The converter output is .m4v file. When I add artwork to the "Artwork" tab of the Get Info box It will add but then I get a spinning colored ball and I must force quit iTunes. When I reopen the move in iTunes the movie will not play. The move is there but when playing the movie it is black (no video will play). Any suggestions?
Thank you
VPH

The Movies are M2V formated, and have AC3 Audio (Have an AC3 Plugin' and Have Apples MPEG 2 component). So please can anyone help me get Artwork to my Movie in iTunes?
Sorry to say, it is not possible in this case. The ability to add/contain graphic "artwork" in iTunes is a property of the file container here. M4V and MP4 containers, for instance, can contain one such independent graphic. On the other hand, an MOV (assume you saved your M2V/AC3 data as an MOV) file cannot. On the other hand, your MOV file can have a "poster frame." If you are not a "purist," you can get around this problem by simply adding/drag 'n dropping your graphic to an appropriate point in your MOV file (I would recommend the end of the file), setting it as your "poster frame," and saving the file. In iTunes, this "poster frame" will now show up in your "artwork" display locations. (PS -- this is on a separate track as you attempted to do. In QT Pro, pre-position playhead to end of file and add JPEG track last so its layer is above main movie layer.)

How can I add artwork with the latest version of itunes?

When I try to add artwork to my iTunes, it doesn't work. I already tried the Find Artwork button, but it didn't find artwork for all my songs. Then I tried to add it myself. I added artwork to whole CD's, but it wouldn't let me add it if it was just one song! How do I fix this? Thanks!

Then change back to the old layout:

ITunes 7 can't add artwork to multiple items in main window like iTunes 6

In iTunes 7 I can no longer add the same artwork to multiple items in the main window. For instance, I want the same cover art added to every track of a certain album. I select all the tracks, and the artwork window says "Drag Album Artwork Here", but when I do, nothing happens.
This used to work fine in iTunes 6. Is this a bug, a setting I am missing or something else? I know I can edit the artwork in the "Get Info" window but that's inconvenient when ripping a lot of CDs.
PowerMac Dual 1.42 GHz G4 Mac OS X (10.4.7)

Negative, Bill.
Even with "selected item" checked, it will not add artwork to multiple items. The method I am using is the method I have always used - highlight the whole album and drag a jpg from a web browser straight in. It makes a brief HD noise as if something is being accomplished, but the songs do not acquire any artwork.
However, if you only select one song, it will drag in seamlessly as always.

Upgraded to iTunes 10.2.2.12 and now I can't add music to iPhone 4.3.2

I recently upgraded to iTunes 10.2.2.12 and now cannot add music to my iPhone (4.3.2 sw). Really would prefer not to uninstall iTunes and re-initialize my library if I can avoid it. If I try to drag one song to my phone, it highlights my phone but won't actually add it. If I select several songs to drag onto my phone, it shows the invalid icon (circle w/ line through it). I can still add songs to my iPod touch.
Anyone else seen this?

Can't add artwork - bizarre iTunes behavior

Okay - this is bizarre - I imported an album into iTunes 9 (downloaded from the Artist's website). I added the artwork and changed the genre and number of tracks, but these changes only "stuck" to about 4 of the 19 tracks. No matter what I did, I couldn't add the artwork to the 15 tracks that needed it. And - interestingly - if I next/previoused through the tracks on the album, all of the values that I changed would revert to the original values the tracks had when they imported. It was almost as if iTunes couldn't change the ID3 tags in the mp3 files. (Well, I guess it really couldn't when it came down to it.)
I solved the problem by right-clicking all the tracks and selecting "Create MP3 verssion" - essentially duplicating the MP3 files. I was then able to successfully get my changes to "stick" to the new files. (And then I deleted the originals I imported.)
What is this strange strange behavior all about?

There are three common causes for this:
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.

When i plug my 5s into my iTunes it only shows me the summary, I can't add or delete anything. Its only giving me the options to restore my phone

why wont it let me do anthing else?

Hello
That is interesting, you should see different tabs like in the picture below for syncing content.
If you do not, then you will want to back up your iPhone, either through iTunes or iCloud, and restore it and then try the sync again. If you are still running into issues, let me know and I can try to assist you further.

ITunes crashed whilst adding .mp4 and now I can't add that .mp4

Hi,
I was adding a video to movies and when I changed the genre the spinning wheel was on for 5-10 minutes, so I force quit iTunes. When I reopened iTunes the video had disappeared and now it will not let me add it again. I have tried restarting iTunes, restarting my Macbook and deleting and adding the file again, but I still cannot add this video to the library. It is not hidden in home videos as when I search the iTunes library it does not show up.
Any help would be much appreciated.

Rebuilding an iTunes Library: How to Do It & What to Expect

I already have an ipad, iPhone and iPod on my iTunes. Can I add my wife's iPhone to my iTunes?

I already use iTunes for iPhone4, iPad and iPod classic. Can I add another iPhone4 now my wife has one? If I already set up an Apple ID for her, do I now need to keep the two separate or can I simply erase that Apple ID and put all devices and Itunes through the one Apple ID/iTunes?

It's alright, I don't have a Mac so I get confused too. The option key should be somewhere to the left of the space bar and look like it is trying to represent railway points.
I don't know how migration assistant works, but presumably it has dumped an iTunes folder somewhere on the Mac. Inside that should be a file called iTunes Library.itl that is the core of the library. Unfortunately iTunes "thinks different" so we can't just double click the file to open it, that opens whatever the "current" library is instead, so you'll need to hold down option (shift for Windows) to get a dialog to choose or create a library. Click choose and browse to the relevant file.
If iTunes can't play your music at this point and gives the exclamation mark of doom then we need to go back to the Windows 7 library, tweak it up for easy export then bring it over again. Overview here. Customized instructions on request.

My computer where my itunes library is stored is no longer accessible. how can i add songs to my ipod nano without losing the songs already on it.

The computer where i have my itunes library is no longer accessible. How can I add new songs to my Ipod nano without losing the song already on it?

You will need that library copied from the old computer. If not, then you can take a look at this in getting 3rd party software to recover your library from the iPod. Syncing to a "New" Computer or replacing a "crashed" Hard Drive

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?
