ITunes 11 nur Album Cover ändern/ Album ein eigenes Cover Bild

Hallo, ich habe eine Fragen zu iTunes11. Ich habe ein best of 2012 Album mit diversen Interpreten und Titeln. Jedes Lied hat natürlich sein eigenes Cover aber ich möchte für das gesamte 2012 Album ein eigenes Cover erstellen z.Bsp. mit 2012 drauf. Wie kann ich nur das Album Cover ändern ohne das er das bei den Liedern ändert?

  • How do I revert back to previous (before 11) itunes. Someone nicked my Album Cover flow, without asking

    how do I revert back to previous (before 11) itunes.
    Someone nicked my Album Cover flow, without asking. I have snow leopard. I was happy. Just before Christmas as if I havent got enough to do Thank You. I've given Apple loads of money this year--presents and all, the least they could do is tell me, they're going to take stuff off of My computer that I enjoy,/ find very useful/ and worked hard to update all my album covers and have a gallery of my own artwork for my mixes--it was beautiful. When I went to add some more, the facility had been taken away from me. Was so dissapointed. They send me emails all the time to buy the latest must have products. I even did a questionair to help them. They really care for their customers--right. So why couldnt they warn me about this update, its only polite.
    If I bought a warm coat some years ago, then the manufatures came round without my knowledge and cut off the left arm, and later told me, their reserch says that people dont use the left arm so much so they have to get rid of it. 1. I think that would be illegal. 2. its impolite not to ask if they could do it. 3. why not give me an options to keep it, seeing as i bought it. 4. its ludicrous.
    I trusted Apple-but then -they took my YouTube off my ipad. I cant update to newer software as I will lose some expensive programms (Im not made of money). I also have 2 oldish defunct but fully working laser printers (if they were compatible with new software).
    Im not a techky-I just use the stuff, I do art and music and Cover Flow was equipement I used.
    I want to get rid of itunes 11, anyhelp out there

    BUT the image didn't actually work and all I ended up with was the word JPEG and a generic image... Any assistance would be appreciated - Thank you.
    Sounds like you copied an icon from the icon spot in a Get Info window for an image file, then pasted that intoo the same spot in the Get Info window for your folder. As you found out, that won't work - unless the image file already has a custom icon, that is.
    Visually, it's hard to tell if an image file has a custom icon, particularly if View Options for a folder (or the desktop) has been set to 'show icon preview' - the OS will use Preview to make an icon for that file 'on the fly', but it does not really exist as far as being a copyable icon.
    For what you want to do, the solution is really very easy.
    Do a Get Info on the image file whose icon you want to copy for your folder. In that Get Info window is a larger depiction of the image about halfway down - double-click that, and it should open in Preview.
    Press Command-A (that's Select All in the Edit menu).
    Press Command-C (that's Copy in the Edit menu).
    Close Preview, close the Get Info window for the image file.
    Open the Get Info window for your folder.
    Select the icon in the upper left by clicking it once - a blue border should appear around it.
    Press Command-V (that's Paste in the Edit menu).
    Close the Get Info window, and you're done.
    Comment - that's a nice way to make unique folder icons, but there is one drawback: how to distinguish visually between a folder with such an icon and an image file.
    One way, old school, is to append the character ƒ to the end of the name you give the folder. That character is easily generated by pressing Option-F and can be a visual indicator that the item is actually a folder and not an image.

  • ITunes 7 has split my albums up into individual tracks in cover view!

    In the two new views in itunes 7 many of my albums have been split up into individual tracks. Is there anything I can do to 'consolidate' them back?
    Power Book   Mac OS X (10.4.7)  

    Hi there, I have the same problem, Albums I've imported from CD and albums I've bought through itunes now display as separate tracks in both views with album art. Also in list view if I click on an album all its tracks are now not in the correct album order but mixed up, so if I use the album view im left with 10 album covers for the same album with 1 track per cover and in list view everything is all mixed up. I wish I'd never upgraded from itunes 6 as this is now a complete mess and almost unusable with 300 albums of music "WELL DONE APPLE" as a 12 year mac user Im starting to feel like im back using windows 3.1 again

  • The "Cover Flow" / "Album Artist" duplicate albums problem on the iPod

    Hi Guys,
    I've made some research about this issue and got to some interesting conclusions.
    DISCLAIMER:
    1. I searched the web and found people describing this problem since 2006 till 2009 and the solution always revolved around not using the "Artist" and the "Album Artist" tags like they should be used.
    2. I did a lot of testing, including re-writing the ID3 tags in different versions and formats to rule out any issues around the tags themselves.
    3. If the stuff I'm going to describe is already well known than sorry about that, I just couldn't find it anywhere.
    PROBLEM:
    An album that has a single Album Artist and different Artists appears several times in the iPod Cover Flow although it looks just fine in iTunes.
    Tagging the tracks as "Part of a Compilation" only partially solves the issue since the album will appear in the iPod Cover Flow as a Compilation showing up in the end and not together with the "Album Artist" like in iTunes and like it should.
    It seems to be a simple issue around the way the iPod uses the "Album Artist" tag but it also seems to be around forever and it's strange Apple hasn't looked into it.
    RESEARCH:
    Since I just bought a new iPod Classic, I was again looking into this issue and now I was getting annoyed, strangely the behaviour wasn't the same for all the albums that were suffering from the problem. I found that when the Artist was a combination of, for example:
    Album - AlbumX
    Album Artist - ArtistX
    Track 1 - ArtistX
    Track 2 - ArtistX Feat. X
    Track 3 - ArtistX
    Track 4 - ArtistX Feat. Z
    Track 10 - ArtistX Feat. XYZ
    In the iPod Cover Flow I got ONLY TWO different albums, one with "ArtistX" and another one with "ArtistX Feat. X".
    Well, this was very different from the normal behaviour when the artists are all completely different, in which case you get X amount of albums according to the X amount of different artist names you have.
    CONCLUSION:
    It seems to have something to do with the dot ".", I reached the conclusion that for Artist interpretation in the iPod when the Artist tag has a dot "." then it stops interpreting. That means that if you had a "." after the main artist name than it will show only once, like in the above example:
    Album - AlbumX
    Album Artist - ArtistX
    Track 1 - ArtistX. <---- NOTICE THE DOT
    Track 2 - ArtistX. Feat. X
    Track 3 - ArtistX.
    Track 4 - ArtistX. Feat. Z
    Track 10 - ArtistX. Feat. XYZ
    Then in the iPod Cover Flow it will show up only once as AlbumX - ArtistX.
    I prefer to use the dots instead of just removing all the "Featurings and similar" since I can still see it normally if I play the track.
    So, in the end, a combination like this in your "Artist" tag: "Album Artist"."Artist" would solve the problem in the iPod.
    I would love for Apple to solve this issue and I hope this helps.
    Has someone else noticed this or am I going crazy?
    Thanks!

    sometimes the official title of a release does include the Feat. Guest info.
    Yes, but only in some (or many) cases. There seems to be no consistency here, as if Apple were paying no attention about where to put "feat. guest". And I guess most of the data in CDDB (Gracenote) still have "feat. guest" in Artist (correctly, in my opinion).
    I quite agree that your workaround is the best workaround. I'm just too self-willed (obstinate?, I don't know the correct English) and don't want to pollute my Library with "wrong" data. Most of the problems would simply be solved if, just if Apple make iPods sort/group artists as iTunes do. Sorry but this is how I feel. I guess you can't help people like me. Thank you for your patience.
    Anyway, we need a clear document from Apple describing what are the intended uses of various tags, and iTunes/iPods should obey this document. It seems for me that each Apple engineer is doing just what (s)he wants to do, without any guidelines.

  • Windows 7, Itunes 10.3.1.55. "iTunes is unable to browse album covers on this computer".

    I just built a new Computer and sucessfully moved my iTunes Library and music over (Windows 7, Itunes 10.3.1.55).  I am getting a message on the cover flow view that states, "iTunes is unable to browse album covers on this computer".  This Cover Art is showing in all other views, so it is there.  I upgraded QuickTime and even install Safari.  This did not work.  I have a very large music collection and prefer the coverflow navigation.  Any suggestions on how to fix this?

    I too am having a very similar problem with cover artwork in Itunes version 10.3.1.55 for my Windows 7, 64 bit computer. Certain Artists or Albums cover art will not show up and also when I try to manually add my own cover to the album it does not save. I can however, view with the coverflow option but its useless without all the cover art. I would greatly appreciate any help with fixing this very annoying problem.
    I've looked into the direct x suggestions and that doesn't seem to be the problem. Thanks anyway, Polydorus.

  • Can't add cover to albums

    Now first off all, I apologize for the english and spelling, but i am from Denmark.
    Second off all i have problems in itunes with some of the albums.
    I simply can't add album artwork to the the album, not even manually.
    Now these pictures should explain what I mean:
    I've got this album and have added a lot off data and this is not the only album, but!
    I can't add the album cover. I go in to see the information about the songs and see:
    I can't get acces to the artwork option/fan.
    Someone who can help?

    Well I found the answer elsewhere outside of this Apple forum.
    You cannot add cover art unless all of the files in the album are MP3.
    This brings up another problem because my iTunes preferences are set up such that the MP3 encoder converts music files to MP3.
    However, apparently this function is not working consistently, and sometimes it converts WAV to MP3 and sometimes it doesn't.

  • ITunes mixed some of my albums together

    I'm quite new to the iTunes-thing and I wanted to make sure every album had it's cover visible. So I selected all the songs in my iTunes library and some of the different boxes in the info menu (Artisit, Album, Genre, ...). This caused iTunes to put all the songs into one album named 'Unknown album' from an 'Unknown artist'. This includes the songs that I bought from the iTunes store.
    I already tried deleting them and downloading them again, but the problem stays.
    Is there anyway to divide the songs/albums again?

    The problem is that you've inadvertently deleted the information that iTunes uses to organize songs into albums - although other fields can affect this, without Artist and Album information iTunes can't show anything other than a collection of songs by an Unknown Artist collected into an Unknown Album.  For purchases from the iTunes store you should be able to recover this information - select Edit > Preferences > Store and make sure the Show iTunes in the Cloud purchases box is checked; this should overwrite any changes you've made locally by that pulled from the Store.
    If you have chosen not to have iTunes organize your library (Edit > Preferences > Advanced) then your songs should still be in the original folder structures (e.g., by artist and album) - it may be possible to use a script solution to make some repairs.
    Otherwise (assuming that you don't have a backup of your complete iTunes library folder structure - which you really should have to be able to recover from situations like this) you're faced with either deleting everything apart from iTunes Store purchases and reimporting from the original source (CD, etc.), or going through songs one-by-one and re-entering the Artist and Album info that you previously removed.  It is one of the less-friendly aspects of iTunes that there are cases, like this one, where selecting a checkbox next to an apparently blank field can result in bulk deletion of important data.

  • Cover flow albums show songs from multiple albums

    I love my iPod classic. the only issue I'm having is that when reviewing some albums via the coverflow feature, about 5 albums shows songs from multiple albums. they play correctly. It appears just the listing is messed up. I've tried deleting, adding the albums back to the library and resyncing, but it's still happening. Anybody seen this?

    Try *One cover, too many tracks* below:
    *HowTo: Grouping Tracks Into Albums*
    Excuse the long post, but hopefully covering all the bases (that I can think of) will help you fix the other issues you are likely to run into as you try to organise your iTunes library.
    *Use an album friendly view*
    iTunes will let you sort music on many columns, some of which are unlikely to group albums together or put the tracks in their normal order. The most useful order for editing the library is probably *Album by Artist*. If you're not already there, select the list view and click on the column heading for Artist until it reads Album by Artist.
    *One cover, too many tracks*
    The iPod (and iTunes to a lesser extent) conflates two or more albums with the same title, most obviously with *Greatest Hits*. On the iPod this can result in one album acting as a combination of two or more. Selecting any cover gives all the tracks of all albums with the same title. The workaround for this "Greatest Hits" bug is to give each album a unique title - I tend to go for *Album - Album Artist* as this reads clearly in the iTunes browser. Alternatively you could use the wording as it appears on the cover or append different numbers of spaces for each different album. Somewhat oddly, setting different values for Sort Album doesn't work.
    *Missing Artist or Album not with others by same artist*
    iTunes relies on the Gracenote CDDB database when identifying CD's. This often marks collections or anthologies of an artist's work as a compilation. In iTunes, however, the compilation flag has the logical function of grouping together tracks with the same album name, but different artists on each track, e.g. "Now That's What I Call Metal 666!". These compilations are then all grouped together at the end of cover flow. Most of us however, would expect "Greatest Hits" albums to be listed with the other albums by the same album artist. For albums which are essentially by a single album artist or group it is best to set the appropriate value for the album artist and clear the compilation flag.
    *One album, too many covers*
    For true compilations, where each track is by a different artist, the answer is to set the compilation flag to true and enable the iTunes preference to *Group compilations when browsing*. If the album is not a compilation however, any tracks which list guest artists may be treated as separate items. Filling in the Album Artist field is enough to link things in iTunes. Sadly, however, the iPod ignores the Album Artist field when grouping albums so this is only a partial solution. You can simply mark the entire album as a compilation which seems to be the way iTMS handles it, however that's not an ideal fix. Short of waiting for Apple to address this issue (and as far as I can tell it goes back to the 1st gen. of iPods) we need a workaround. What I do is to put any additional artist info. in square brackets after the song name. E.g. *Track \[Feat. Guest\]* and then set *Artist=Album Artist* for each track. For anthologies where the Album Artist is credited as part of another group, e.g. for Cream tracks on an Eric Clapton anthology, I use *Track \[As Group\]*. For a track where the main Album Artist doesn't receive a credit, e.g. the first track of the Slim Shady LP credited to Jeff Bass, I just set the track name to *Track \[Guest\]* while still setting the artist to the album artist. N.b. I use square brackets to indicate that this is information about the track as distinct from the song title and also use this style for Mix/Live/Bonus info.
    *One album, still too many covers*
    iTunes may split albums into two or more sections if some tracks from the album have different values for Artist, Album Artist, Album, No. of Discs or Part of a Compilation. Tiny differences such as trailing spaces, accented characters or variants of symbols can sometimes be quite hard to spot. The iPod is also more sensitive to case variations and may split or reorder an album that looks okay in iTunes. Normally overtyping the desired value for each shared field will complete the grouping of the album into one entity. Occasionally, however, this method seems to fail. When this happens I've found that you can force every field to update properly by adding some extra text - e.g. a trailing X, which once applied seems to complete the joining of the tracks into one album. Once this has happened the extra data can be removed and the album should remain properly grouped.
    *Tried that, there are STILL too many covers!*
    The Sort Artist, Sort Album & Sort Album Artist fields can be used to override the normal sort order. For example iTunes automatically drops leading articles (a/an/the) so "The Beatles" are arranged under "B" instead of "T". Occasionally different tracks from the same album can have different values in these sort fields which can also break up the grouping. Making the sort columns visible in iTunes can help with spotting & correcting such problems.
    *One cover for multi-disc album*
    Multi-disc albums are often listed as *Album (CD1)* for CD 1, *Album (CD2)* for CD 2 etc. To display these properly using just one cover, each disc should have the correct *Disc X of Y* values set, and then the entire album should be given the single title Album. Being somewhat obsessive I also renumber the tracks sequentially, working backwards from the last track (so that no two tracks ever have the same number) until I reach disc 1. BTW You can still give the individual discs different artwork should it be relevant so that the correct artwork will be displayed as the album progresses.
    *One artist, many names*
    With some artists, particularly classical composers, you should be aware of alternative representations of their names. E.g. 2Pac vs. Tupac. The menus will work best if for each artist you standardise on just one form of their name. E.g. make a choice between Mozart, W.A. Mozart or Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, and then apply it consistently. For classical music I tend also to use the Composer as the Artist & Album Artist and either discard the performer details or place these into the Comments field.

  • Cover Flow/Album Art Errors

    This problem has carried over from firmware 2.1. My album art is all messed up. I'll add album on one album but it will show up on two albums, or album are won't show at all. Weird random glitches like that. I also manually manage my music. Any ideas on how I can fix these problems so cover flow works properly?

    Hi guys,
    I have the same problem. I updated my 1st. generation touch to 2.2 version and I’ve lost all my music . I started recovering and reading my music to the touch but surprise: album cover won’t work. Before the update everything was fine, now i can see the album cover in the Itunes but not on my IPod. I manually manage my music. It is very, very annoying. I searched, a possible solution to this problem, for a couple of hours on the internet and tried to find a fix in the Itunes, but nothing

  • Podcast Album Cover Overrides Album's Album Cover?

    It seems that the artwork for a podcast (Scott Sigler's Infections -- which is the same feed that he's sent a number of audiobooks out over) overrides the artwork for a collection of tracks that are all in the same album within that feed (Ancestor, to be precise). iTunes collects all of these tracks into a single album when viewed in a playlist, but displays the podcast's artwork next to them in the "grouped with artwork" view. Each of the tracks has the same artwork, which is different from the podcast's artwork.
    Thoughts on how to convince iTunes to display the actual album cover, rather than the artwork assigned to the entire podcast?

    pokity-poke-poke.
    Anyone have any ideas? Am I explaining myself clearly?

  • My iTunes does not update the album covers properly.

    I have the album covers in the same file location as the MP3 songs, and each album is located in a different file location, but iTunes does not load my album covers automatically. half the time I have to load the album cover from my library manually.
    I have authorised the computer, re-installed iTunes, manually selected all songs and updated album covers in the advace section. Nothing works.

    Try updating your iTunes using an iTunesSetup.exe (or iTunes64Setup.exe) installer file downloaded from the Apple website:

  • ITunes  is creating multiple files/albums from a single album

    Hi,
    I hope I can explain this clearly. For some unknown reason on SOME CD's I put in and on SOME music I've added to my library (from my HD) I've gotten multiple album covers for one album. Let me try that a different way, each song on a CD will be displayed in cover flow as it's own separate CD's so that if there are 10 songs on Bjork's album, I'll have 10 different albums coming up in cover flow for Bjork. It's frustrating when I'm trying to scroll and more so on my iPod.
    Any suggestions? Can I fix it?
    Thanks.
