Itunes and album art

I recently started importing my cds to itunes. Then I used the 'Get Album Artwork'. it worked fine for all accept one album that it separated into 4 different albums with the same album artwork and 4 different album titles. Is there any easy, quick way to combine all the songs back into the appropriate album. Or do I have to delete the albums, then import the album again and manually add the album art?
Thanks, Denise

When you say four different album titles, do you literally mean that each track has a different title...or just that the songs aren't grouped together?
If you're having trouble getting album tracks to group together, have a look at this document:

  • I am running iTunes on an IBM comp system Win XP with a 70gb hard disk. I have 4 kids with 4 IPOD Touches. Their apps and album art are eating up the hard disk space. I changed the Media Folder to an external hard disk. How do I get the apps to go their?

    I am running iTunes on an IBM compatible system running Windows XP with a relatively small hard disk (70gb). I have 4 kids with 4 IPOD Touches, multiple IPOD Nanos, etc. Their apps and album art are eating up the hard disk space. I changed the Media Folder through Edit, Prferences, Advances, iTunes Media Folder to an external hard disk. The new music downloads and purchases go there but the apps and other items do not. How do I get the apps and other iTunes software and downloads to go to the external hard disk

    There is no built in function to make this happen.
    Your options are:
    Upgrade the existing hard drive.
    Try creating a link for the app folder on the external drive... this may or may not work.
    Realistically, a larger hard drive is a better solution, then use the external drive for keeping a backup of the ENTIRE iTunes folder and any other personal data on the system.

  • Question on Lost Tags and Album Art

    O.K., I mentioned in another thread that my iTunes library suddenly vanished, but I have been able to “Add file to library” to get everything back in there. Unfortunately, a lot of my album art and my tagging went back to the way it was before I modified it. If I open iTunes again and find nothing there (seems unfortunately to be common) and have to add the folder back in, is there anyway to do that with all the tags and album art in tact?

    Hi Ken,
    If this is what I think you are referring to Ken, then don't worry, all is not lost.
    This has happened to me once or twice in the past when either installing a new version of iTunes or when I have re-linked my iPod to my other computer.
    One thing to check first though:
    If you open iTunes and look in your Library and select any track you like (you don’t kneed to play it) and make sure that you have the 'Show or Hide Song Artwork' tab at the bottom left of iTunes (its the fourth one in) selected, can you see the Artwork for your track?
    I know you are concerned about the artwork on your iPod, but this is important, if it is showing that’s great. If not, it might just be switched off. If you look at the grey bar that makes the top of the Artwork box that views the image, does it say 'Selected Song' or 'Now Playing'? If it is the latter, then with your mouse just click on it and your Artwork for that track should appear.
    Makes sure this is the case for a few others, and if so, your artwork is not lost and can easily be put back on to your iPod.
    Now Make sure your iPod is connected and showing in the Sources list on the right of iTunes.
    Now go into the iPod options menu by going to the Edit menu and selecting the bottom option 'Preferences' and then opening the iPod tab. You will see an option to show your artwork on your iPod. Select this then click OK out of the Preferences and do an update.
    iTunes will then say its updating your iPod, and when it has confirmed that your music is updated, it will then import all your artwork back into your iPod and it should then be present when you use your iPod.
    Depending how many tracks you have on your iPod and in iTunes, this might take quite some time. For me last time without about 4 tracks on an AMD Athlone this took about 40 minutes.
    I hope this is of help.

  • I recently moved my itunes library. Itunes deleted a lot of artist and album info and album art. Now it won't let me edit the info to correct it. Any advice on to correct this?

    I recently bought a new Asus laptop and moved my itunes to it. All of my files are stored on an external hard drive. In the process of importing my files into itunes on the new laptop, some artist and album info has been deleted. A lot of album art is missing as well. I attempted to correct the missing info, but now itunes won't let me edit any track, artist or album info. Any idea what the problem is and how I can fix it? Thanks.

    You can't use your account's balance for gifting, you can only use a credit card - your balance can only be used to buy content for yourself. Until you pay what you owe iTunes then you won't be able to download any items from the store on that account.
    If you haven't got a valid credit card then you can try contacting iTunes support and see if they can cancel the gift or take what you owe them from your balance: http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/ - click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page

  • Moving iTunes Libraries and Album Art

    I’m running iTunes on a Windows desktop and have about 700 albums. I’ve manually added album art to about 100 of these. I have a need to determine the BPM of all my songs so I can group them accordingly. I’m using Tangerine to do this. It is a Mac-only app (and is fantastic!) so I port my entire iTunes folder from the desktop to a MacBook via a USB drive. When I view the library on the Mac, it doesn’t show the album art for those 100 albums, nor does it do so when I move the iTunes folder back to the Windows desktop after Tangerine has updated the BPM values.
    What can I do to keep this album art?
    Thanks, MERunner

    Make sure your ID3 tags are v2.3. iTunes default imports as v2.2.
    Just highlight the songs, right click > Convert ID3 tags.
    Also, you need to add the artwork to the ID3 tag of each file. iTunes by default puts it in a folder on each PC to save space, by just having one artwork file per album, not per song.

  • ITunes 11 - metadata and album art incorrect when sharing to iPad

    I just upgraded to iTunes 11. I'm accessing my shared iTunes library from a Macbook Pro on my new iPad using an Apple wireless router.  Neither the album art on song metadata is matching the displayed artist/album/song. Apple products from the beginning of the chain to the end. All was fine until I upgraded to iTunes 11. I thought Apple delayed the release to "get it right"? Anyone else having the same issue?

    Home sarin with iPad has been messed up since iOS 6 and was hoping iTunes 11 would solve it. Seemed Italy it had bu the next time I selected the shared library, it's still messed up and out of order.

  • New iTunes update and album art question

    I like the new look/features of iTunes but the option where it will add album art to your songs, does that only apply to songs in your library or will it update the ones already on your iPod? I am trying to see if there is a way but no luck yet. Any help on this would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

    Not as far as I know, apple "Thinks" the songs you have on the ipod are on iTUnes so there not really pushing for a feature like that.
    You can add them nback to the PC and back them up, or use the backups you have

  • Sync and album art problems with iPhone 3G

    The other day my iPhone was sitting in the cradle syncing and I noticed iTunes (8.02) was deleting the apps from the phone. I cancelled that sync and in iTunes I saw that the "Sync Applications" checkbox was unchecked, but I hadn't unchecked it. I then rechecked the box and synced my apps back onto the phone.
    Today I added some songs to a playlist and synced, but the sync time seemed suspiciously short. When I checked iTunes I saw that all of my sync content boxes were unchecked...Sync Music, Sync Videos, etc. When I check one of the boxes iTunes threatens to delete all the content presently on my phone and replace it with content from the library....which is of course the same content except for the few songs I copied into one playlist. I don't really want to sit around and wait until this stupid phone replaces 15gb of content with the same 15gb of content. Sometimes this thing acts like such a piece of junk.
    Perhaps this is related, but some weeks ago I purchased a Colbie Caillat album from the ITMS. Whenever I play a song from this purchase on my iPhone it shows the album art for an Usher album I already had in my library. If I play the same song on one of my iPods, the album art is correct. Apparently some sort of corruption is afoot in either iTunes, the iPhone or both. Is there some way to get iTunes and the iPhone on the same page without having to wipe and restore this stupid phone? Thanks.

    I bit the bullet and checked all the boxes and synced, and the phone did not go through with the threat to erase all my content. It just synced the one changed playlist instead. False alarm. However, the album art issue remains.

  • 2G Ipod Touch picture and album art issues

    I have a 2nd Generation 8GB Touch with 4.0.2 installed. Just recently I've noticed a couple of issues with it.
    When I look at the photos stored, in the thumbnail view some of the photos are just a black box, but when I view the pics, they show normally.
    When I am looking at the album art, a couple of the albums have wrong artwork showing, even though in iTunes it has the correct artwork showing there. For example one album has the artwork for a podcast that I no longer have synced to the iPod. If I browse to right to look at the next album, in the background where you see the album covers of the other albums, it shows the right artwork. Another album just has artwork for another podcast, but when I see it behind another album, it is showing the artwork for the podcast that I first mentioned earlier.
    Has anybody else seen this or something like it and know how to resolve it?

    I called Apple and was told that I needed to restore the iPod. The problem is that I had purchased and installed the January upgrade on my iMac and not my MacBook.
    I restored the iPod on the iMac and then synced to the MacBook.
    Problem solved!

  • Itunes 12 album art no longer able to paste it in

    Apple please return to copy and paste album art in iTunes.  This searching for a file to import in is really annoying.

    Works fine here.
    The new iTunes 12 Get Info dialog lacks right-click context menus (at least for now) but it still accepts most standard keyboard shortcuts and drag & drop actions.
    Delete Artwork
    On the artwork tab of Get Into, tap the image in question, use Backspace or Ctrl+X. Delete doesn't work.
    Or, tap the image at the top left of Get Info, this time use Backspace or Delete, it is Ctrl+X that doesn't work.
    Add Artwork
    Select artwork, press Ctrl+C to copy, tap the centre of the Artwork tab, press Ctrl+V to paste.
    Or, select artwork, press Ctrl+C to copy, tap the small image area at the top left, press Ctrl+V to paste.
    Or, you can drag & drop to, or sometimes from, the same locations.
    You can also copy artwork from the Get Info dialog to Windows Explorer with the keyboard shortcuts.
    If the source image is on a web page right-click and use Copy Image rather than copy. (With Chrome I get a one pixel wraparound so tend to go for a temporary local file copy anyway - not sure whose bug this is, but it isn't new.)
    If you have multiple images embedded drag the one you want to be the primary artwork to the leftmost position.
    Replace/Remove All Artwork
    The top left image box can be used to add or delete art from multiple tracks. In either case all existing artwork in all tracks is replaced/removed.
    Old Style Get Info Dialog
    Select some items, right-click, hold down shift, then click Get Info from the context menu. (Use alt/option on a Mac)

  • When I preview a song in iTunes, the album art preview shows up blurry

    So anytime I preview a song in iTunes store, whenever I click on the small album art icon (at the top) to bring up the smaller player, the album art shows up blurry.
    Has been happening for the past three or four iTunes releases. How can I fix it?
    When I purchase the song, the album art downloads just fine though. Funny thing is, if I preview a different song from the same album, the album art loads fine. Not sure whats going on.

    Make sure that these two options in Edit > Preferences > Store are turned off:
    Then exit iTunes and open it up again.  Your metadata entries should then be persistent - with these options checked iTunes will be comparing what you have with the information held in the iTunes Store, and will overwrite with the latter for Store purchases (and if you have iTunes Match).  If you have any iOS devices you should also turn off Show All Music under Settings > Music.

  • Changes made on my iPad do not appear when plugged into iTunes; missing album art on iPad.

    If I make changes to the music on my iPad--i.e. delete songs/albums, add ratings, add a song to a playlist--when I plug my iPad in to view the contents in iTunes, none of these changes have been saved. The deleted music reappears, the ratings do not show up, and the new songs are not in the playlist.
    Additionally, when I have my iPad plugged in to my Mac, all of my album art shows in iTunes. However, if I look at the music on my iPad by albums, much of my album art is missing.
    Any suggestions?

    Visionplace, i have the issue where my ipad2 changes/edits to my current playlists are NOT synced up with my itunes 11 on my computer (Windows 7).  I have icloud and Itunes Match is turned on.  My settings are to auto-sync and i have ALL my music set to be synced, not just select playlists. (Note I have not tested whether new playlists will appear because i usually just edit my existing ones).
    So whenever i make playlist changes on my ipad2 (e.g., add or delete songs), i see the changes correctly on my iphone 4, and my Apple TV within 15 minutes without taking any steps, but they do NOT appear on my itunes 11 on my computer (Windows 7).  The only way i have found to get the ipad2 playlist edits onto my itunes on my computer is to sync my iphone4 up with the computer. (My ipad changes are already on the iphone 4 automatically). My computer's itunes 11 CAN see the playlist edits i have made on the iphone4 (immediately), but not the ipad.  It *****, but it works for me.
    For new music purchases (from itunes store) on my ipad2, the only way i can see them on my itunes 11 on the computer is to go to the store, and download them again. Otherwise, they will not appear.
    Note - in another forum when i was researching this ipad sync issue, someone had stated that the ipad/computer sync is one way. (I.e., from computer-to-ipad only). If true, that would explain why the ipad edits and new music purchases dont show up in my computer itunes. However, the iphone sync must be two ways.

  • IPod Will Not Display In My Compuater unless updating and album art.

    Okay, when I plug my Ipod into my computer now it doesnt seem to immediatly recognise it. It takes a few minutes. When it does finally catch my IPod is not adding with any of my new songs the album art with it. It was also saying that ITunes Artwork file temp 2 was corrupt or something. I just want to get this problem solved before my 3 months are up cause its coming in two weeks.

    Have you Restored it?
    just want to get this problem solved before my 3 months are up cause its coming in two weeks.
    The iPod comes with a one year warranty.
    You get one telephone support issue in the 90 days (meaning you ca call that one issue within the 90 days) and get it solved.
    You have one year in which to have it repaired/replaced under waranty.
    You can post here forever.

  • ITunes extracted album art file name oddity (Japanese characters)

    I am on iTunes 10.6.3. After doing a clean install of Mountain Lion I have noticed that although the iTunes version has not changed some behavior is slightly different than when it was running under Snow Leopard.
    Any time I drag album art from an album titled with Japanese characters out of the "Now Playing" pane in the lower left of the iTunes GUI the image file in Finder has been named with weird characters. I can successfully rename the file in Finder with the proper Japanese characters. Why is iTunes naming the image files incorrectly?
    Here is an example of an album art image file both as it came from iTunes and after being renamed. The top one is the incorrectly titled file that came straight from iTunes.

    Try this...
    btabz: My songs have artwork in iTunes, but it won't transfer to my iPod!
    It is for a slightly different issue, but the instructions should work.
    If those don't work, you may need to restore the iPod as the link says.
