ITunes artwork not transferring

I recently imported an album (the Smiths' Hatful of Hollow) from CD, and wanted to copy the artwork, too. Using Firefox 3.5.7 on my MacBook Pro with MacOS 10.6.2, I went to the Amazon page for that product, and clicked on the link for a larger image:

With iTunes 9.0.2, I opened an info window (command-I) and dragged the image into the Artwork window. The window highlighted but did not accept the artwork, even if I tried clicking on the checkbox to the left prior to dragging. I can drag the artwork into the "Now Playing" artwork box on the lower left. Has anyone else had this problem, and if so, is there something I'm missing? I checked the instructions in iTunes Help, which seems to be the same as I recall previously.

never mind. had to do a little messing around with iTunes to figure it out...

hey guys please help me itunes is not transfering music or apps to my ipad 2 running ios 5.1.1 but transfers to my ipod touch 4g running ios 6 please help me

Are you selecting the music to sync to the iPad? Try it this way.
Connect the iPad to the computer and launch iTunes.
Click on the iPad name on the left side under devices.
Click on the Music Tab on the right.
Click on all of the albums or playlists that you want to sync - or the entire library if you like.
Click on the Sync Music Heading.
Click on Apply in the lower right corner of iTunes
Do you have your sync preferences set to Manually Manage Music And Videos in the Summary Tab of iTunes? If you do, deselect that and try again.

HT204406 A few of my playlists in itunes are not transferring to my iphone 4 when I sinc it to itunes. I'm also using icloud, help?

Some of my playlists in itunes are not transferrring to my iPhone either by sincing and by icloud. I turned itunes match on and off several times and still doesn't put missing playlists on my phone. I didn't have this issue prior to saving to icloud and using itunes match. Anyone else having this issue?
Thanks.

Hi oxman78,
That definitely sounds frustrating! Let's give this a go to see if we can isolate the issue futher:
First, connect your device and choose the "Music" tab. Next, uncheck the "Sync Music" checkbox, and apply the changes (so there is ultimately no music syncing to your iPhone).
Once you have done that, recheck the "Sync Music" checkbox, and apply the changes once more. This will instruct iTunes to completely remove all music from your iPhone, and then copy the files once more. If you have a large amount of music, this initial sync may take a while.

ITunes purchases not showing in iTunes and not transferring to iPod shuffle

I Have been using ipod shuffles for several years as they are small and convenient for running. I have purchased 175 songs on iTunes and been forced to purchase FIVE iPod shuffle devices because the battery life in all five devices degrades after approximately 40 re-charges to the point that I only get 15 minutes battery time after a full charge. This is occurring on every iPod shuffle I have bought inclusing the latest one which is only two months old. A couple of weeks ago, I purchased several applications for my iPad and several new songs. I receive emails after each purchase. However, when I looked at my iTunes account, it showed all the items as a single item purchase and the songs were not even showing up as purchased or in my play list. This tells me that someone at Apple accounting is manually adjusting purchases and not itemizing them and the songs were not even given to me. I had to reinstall my entire iTunes program and they had to reinsert the new songs into my purchased playlist. That is why I couldn't transfer my songs onto my iPod shuffle. Now, with the latest IOS 8.3 update, I am getting all sorts of service problems like it says each time I turn on my laptop that I have inserted a CD or DVD, select the times I want to burn. It was never doing that before. It is also giving me all these warnings too:
BookmarkDAV_client.exe - entry point not found
The procedure entry point objc_exception_try_enter could not be located in e dynamic link library objc.dll.
icloudServices.exe entry point not found
The procedure entry point objc_exception_try_enter could not be located in e dynamic link library objc.dll
Apple photo streams.exe entry point not found, etc,
I purchased four new iTunes songs yesterday and only one of them transferred into my iPod shuffle. I am so tired and frustrated with the endless defects in Apple Products, that soon I am just going to say ENOUGH AND COMPLETELY STOP USING ALL APPLE PRODUCTS.

The "Purchased" playlist you see on the right can be a little misleading. It's not mean to show all of the purchases you've ever made. To download (or just see) what a particular has previously purchased used this resource. http://support.apple.com/kb/ht2519

ITunes artwork not downloading with file and tab blanked out.

The last 4 items I have downloaded from iTunes (tv Shows and Movies) are not coming with any album art. As the TV shows are on season pass its only the latest episodes that don't have artwork.
Also the artwork tab is greyed out on the Get Info screen.
Gettin art work via menu does not work.
Anyone else having this problem? or know a fix?
Thanks

thomas200,
Not a lot of joy, but here is what I have discovered.
I have been having this problem for about a month as well. Video files downloaded from iTunes have no album art or account info and the artwork tab is greyed out.
My library is stored on a QNAP NAS. When I download any video file everything looks fine until the end when 'processing file' occurs. This will take only a second on any faulty file yet 4/5 or more sec when everything is working.
I have created a new library with files being stored on the hard drive of my mac and tried down loading a free tv episode. This works fine.
So I feel like I am narrowing the problem to my itunes library or the NAS (which had a software upgrade in april)
I'll post if I find out anything more.

Artist Artwork not transferring properly to my iPhone

I have a 2012 iMac and all of my purchased music on it has the proper artwork (I have over 2,000 purchased songs). After them being on my iPhone since the day the 5 came out, there has been no problem. Yesterday all of my purchased music jumbled the artwork so nothing matches. However, all my unpurchased music is fine. I cleared all the purchased music off my iPhone and and then put it back on. The same problem is there. Please note when I pull up my iTunes library on my iMac there is no problem. Can somebody please assist? iTunes is slowly becoming the death of me.

All itunes artwork not displaying

Hi Everyone, recently the external drive where my itunes library resides was not connected. Without realising i started itunes which could then obviously not locate the media.
Since then my album artwork does not display.
However if i highlight a track or movie and "get info" the artwork returns. This is true for every file. Trouble is it seems i would have to do this for every file!
Any tips?
Thank you

This seems to be a common problem with many solutions dating back years online. Trouble is I want a solution that is valid today with the latest itunes build.
Im reluctant to try scripts I find online as I've spent so long building up my library!
Hope someone will shed some light on this.
Thanks,
Jonnie

Transfer Purchses in Itunes is not transfering applications

I recently bought a new computer. I managed to transfer everything in my itunes from the previous computer but I am having issues getting the applications that are exclusively on my iphone to transfer onto my computer. I've read all the info on how to do it but its not working. I've authorized my new computer, and I've done the "transfer purchases" and even though itunes seems to be going through the motions of transferring the applications, when the progress bar finishes there is no sign of the applications. So as of this moment my applications are the only thing not synced because when I click on the "sync applications" option, the pop up tells me that all the apps on my iphone will be cleared and replaced with the ones on my computer (which don't include the ones I've downloaded straight from the iphone).
I was so frustrated that I re synced my iphone with my old computer and tried to transfer the applications on that computer but it didn't work either!! So I am thinking this is something to do with the new itunes 9? Help!

Purchased applications can be downloaded over again, see this article for details: How to redownload purchased applications from the App Store

IPod Video - Album Artwork Not Transferring

Does anyone know why when I move songs from iTunes to my iPod some of the album artwork comes over and some does not?

I'll asume you're using iTunes 7. When you connect the iPod, it's screen shows up in iTunes. Click the music tab at the top of the screen. Then go to the bottom of the list (don't scroll through it) but below the list ther is a checkbox labled "Show Album Artwork." Make sure it's selected. If it is, make sure the song you want artwork for actually has artwork to show in iTunes.

Problem with iTunes and not transferring media.

This is differnt since the media it won't transfer has already been on the iPod once before. My iTunes won't tranfer some of my songs (that it did before) and some of my TV shows (that it did before as well) for some reaon or another. I have them set for autosync, no manual transfer, they are the latest episodes of the show, they are checked, and I have tried syncing it about eight times using different methods to get it to sync up. The songs a like every other song and not a problem with them.
Any ideas?

Everything corrected.

ITunes is not transferring songs to iPod

Very frustrated...MacBook, iTunes, and iPod are up to date. I imported a CD onto my iTunes library. With my iPod plugged in, the songs will not transfer to the iPod. I can drag the album over and also go the 'add to' route, but either way the transfer never actually happens. This is the first CD import I've done since both devices were updated. Any suggestions?

ITunes Purchase not transferring to iPod

Before the 3.0 update when I downloaded a song via iTunes on my iPhone it was placed in the file Downloaded From iPhone. After the update it no longer does that. Can this be fixed or not?

Well my first question is, can you even play it in iTunes?

ITunes are not transfering to my iPod

I have recently downloaded songs in itunes and have tried to transfer them to my iPod, but they are not registering. I have plenty of memory left, so I know that is not it. Is there another reason why these songs will not show up on my iPod, but are on my iTunes? I have given authority and there seems to be no other reason. Can you help? Sorry if this question has already been asked.

Hi. Welcome to Apple Discussions Forum!
Check if those songs are unchecked. To do so, see the box before the track name.
Hope this helps!

Why can't i add playlists to my iPhone from my mac while they are connected? I keep getting the following message "some items (meaning all of them) were not transferred because iTunes match is enabled." This is incredibly frustrating.

I keep getting the following message "some items (meaning all of them) were not transferred because iTunes match is enabled." when I try to drag and drop a playlist, song, or album to my iPhone. This was NEVER a problem before iTunes match or the last iOS update. So what is the deal? Why can't i just add music to my phone from the mac? There is space on the phone. The only way I have found to get the music i want to the phone is to have it download from the phone. This is not something i want to have to do: go through and manually add every album and recreate a playlist on the phone when its there on the mac. And, even more irritating, since the new update, when the phone is plugged into the mac i can't actually view from the mac what music is on the phone. This is incredibly frustrating and any help would be much appreciated in managing my music libraries for each device.

Hi,
You cannot manually manage music with match turned on on your iOS device. If you want to manage music manually, you will need to turn off match on your iPhone.

I just noticed that some of the movies I had in iTunes did not get transferred to the iPhone. The missing movies are shown as generic movie icons in the iTunes panel. How do I get the original movies to show up again and transfer to the iPhone?

I just noticed that some of the movies I had in iTunes did not get transferred to the iPhone 5. The missing movies are shown as generic movie icons in the iTunes panel and are checked to select them. But they do not show up in iPhone Videos. How do I get the original movies to show up again and transfer to the iPhone? I recently upgraded Mac OS to 10.6.8

1. iTunes won't offer cloud downloads for songs that it "thinks" are in your library, even if it "knows" the files are missing. If you've exhaustively searched for the missing files and there is no prospect of repair by restoring to them to their original locations, or connecting to new ones, then delete that tracks that display both the missing exclamation mark and are of media kind Purchased/Protected AAC audio file. Don't hide from iTunes in the cloud when asked, close iTunes, then reopen. You can download from the cloud links or iTunes Store > Quicklinks > Purchased > Music > Not on this computer > All songs > Download all.
2. Why? Not sure, perhaps 3rd party tools or accidental key presses combined with previously hidden warning messages when trying to organize the library. There is a hint that using the feature to downsample media as it is synced to a device may also be involved, though I've not replicated it. Whatever the reason a backup would protect your media.
