ITunes - Can´t change Cover

Hey guys.
I´m from Germany and i searched an answer for my problem on nearly every german apple-fan-page. So you´re my last hope.
A few days ago I imported many songs from my old laptop to my new MacBook. After that, i started adding Covers to the Albums. But four times it didn´t worked. I wasn´t able to add a cover. When i just pick one of the songs of the albums, i can´t even select the "Cover"-Button. That drives me crazy...
I hope that you can help me.

Yep, I have the same problem and ran into this thread while searching for help. I have 3 mp3 files in iTunes that just refuses to get a cover added. The according tab field in the files properties is just grayed out.
I have changed permissions for all 3 files and they are just the same as all other files. I have no idea how to approach this.
Any help appreciated!

ITunes can't run cover albuns in this computer

When I try to hear iTunes with the Cover Flow option, appears this message:
"iTunes can't run cover albuns in this computer". Do you know how to solve this problem? This problem is already extending to my iPod, I can't see all the cover music album that I have.

Hi, tripa.
Have a look at this article in the Apple Knowledge Base and let us know if it brings you any combination of joy and/or satisfaction.

ITunes can not change files on TC

Hi, I can not change any TAG in my Multimedia files stored on the Time Capsule using iTunes. This worked without problem for almost one year then suddenly (I think after the last iTunes update) this is broken. other applications work just fine.
The biggest Problem is that for bought (new bought) files those file are stored without any TAG or Cover - which renders them quite useless in iTunes environment.
Anybody face similar issue?
I searched the web and did not find any answer about this...

Can't change Cover Flow Art

I was able to change the album artwork in "Get Info". The correct art shows in the "Now Playing Window", but the Cover Flow artwork wont change. I've been successful in changing the Cover Flow artwork using the "Get Info" change method in the past, but this is the first time I've tried it since the latest iTunes update...maybe there's a bug needs squashing. How do I change the Cover Flow artwork?

I gave that a try and it "kinda" works but doesn't really solve the annoyance. If you resize it again in the slightest or shift the divider bar, the whole thing jumps back to the 90/10 view. Why!?!?! Does that not drive anyone else insane?
Thanks for the duct tape fix though Captfred. I can at least use that in the mean time. I really hope they fix that problem with the next update. It worked just fine before, but now it makes cover flow somewhat unusable.

ITunes stuck to ~/Music/iTunes, can't change folder location

I recently moved all my media files off my local drive and onto a FW-attached RAID device. I changed the iTunes music folder location in Preferences::Advanced to the new location, and BAM, nothing.
If I delete ~/Music/iTunes and restart itunes, it will RECREATE the old folder, and it won't touch the file modification times of the files in the new folder. So basically, it's completely ignoring the folder location set in preferences, and using the default location instead.
Bear in mind that iTunes IS REMEMBERING the new folder location, it's just that it doesn't actually use it. In other words I can change it, but it doesn't care.
Am I screwed? Does Apple DRM prevent me from having my media in a different location than the default?

Did you just move the music? Or did you move the library files as well?
If you moved the library files as well, then hold down the option (or alt) key and launch iTunes, use the Locate command to navigate to the new location.

All audio defaults to iTunes can not change.

Can anyone explain why all my audio defaults to open with iTunes. I have tried on several wav files to change the default application and apply for all but it seems to constantly revert back to iTunes.
Thanks.

Please explain your issue clearly

Help! Can I change cover after creating my book?

I just finished my first photo book, but I didn't realize until I went to buy that I had not selected the cover. I took the default. I can't find any way to ONLY change the cover. I like everything else. Do I really have to create a new book and re-edit all those photos?
Thanks for your help.

You may not have to start over. First select the book and type Command+D. That will duplicate the book. Open the second copy and go the to Theme button at the bottom. Click on it and select the soft cover size of book you want. You'll get a warning that you might lose some text but go ahead and try. I've had good luck switching between types and not losing text. If it works you're home free.
TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto (iPhoto.Library for iPhoto 5 and earlier) database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
I've created an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger or later), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. It's compatible with iPhoto 6 and 7 libraries and Tiger and Leopard. iPhoto does not have to be closed to run the application, just idle. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.≤br>
Note: There now an Automator backup application for iPhoto 5 that will work with Tiger or Leopard.

Back side of z3 is broken, can I change cover?

2 days after buy my nice sony xperia z3 the back side glass with a small impact has been broken link. Now I have ugly smartphone z3 and I looking for a way to repair or change fully cover.
Is there any spare part to change this cracked z3 phone body?
Here in Iran there is no spare parts...!

There is the possibility that your phone wont be waterproof after you do this......perhaps it may be, perhaps not......also your warranty with Sony may be voided if for instance you have to send it in for repair for something in the future & they notice it has been replaced but not by themselves....not trying to scare you, just make you aware

How can I change the default cover image in iTunes?

Good evening everyone!
I've scoured the web for this info but can't seem to find it. Is there a way to change the default cover image in iTunes to one of my choosing? You know the one I'm talking about right? The transparent CD cover with the musical note in the middle of it... the one that shows up when iTunes can' find appropriate cover art for your music. I have another image I'd like to use instead, as I've never liked the default image at all. The one I have to replace it is an image of a blank CD case. Kinda cool and would look infinitely better than the default in my opinion.
Has anyone done this before? If so, can you describe to me how it's done, or point me to somewhere on the web that describes how? Many, many thanks in advance Have a great weekend!!!

I understand what you mean - I too, would like to see some variability in the 'default'. Besides having a single default, I would step that up to a default that changes with genre and media: ie. I could see using a sax for Jazz; a microphone for a Podcast, etc.
I don't have the answer to your question yet, but I think I'm going to crack open the iTunes package to see what default images there are embedded in there.

How can I change (or select) what is being being used when I share, as the file cover. When I Share lets say "Master File" i want to select a frame that is used as the file cover. So when its on my desktop I see this image as the file icon.

I don't think Finder does this (I've tried).
iTunes does though. Where you can set artwork or the "poster frame"...
This may not be what you want but if it helps, I know 2 ways do this is
Open the video in QuicktimePlayer7 | View | Set Poster Frame (even then, you might need to save it as .mov (ie in a 'mov container').
Drag the file into iTunes and set the artwork (as in http://www.dummies.com/how-to/content/adding-album-cover-art-or-images-in-itunes .html)
From there, iTunes will use that frame as the "poster frame" ie the photo/frame that shows when you browse your videos. Which is what you want, but limited to iTunes.
When I do either of these above, the frame I set does not show when exploring files in "Finder" (or in the other Explorer tool I use called "Pathfinder").
So it maybe, that exactly what you want, is not possible.

Change cover size in itunes 11

Is there any posibility to change the cover size in the new iTunes 11 ?

It depends which view you are in.
If you are in the Album view you can't change it, but in the Artists and Genre views you can.

Can you change the iTunes selected Artist View art?

When you're choosing an artist in the Artist View tab, iTunes preselected an album cover to display next to that band/artist's name. Is there a way to change this? It seems, in my case anyways, iTunes picked the photo to display based on the alphabetical order of that artist's albums. For example - Under "Aerosmith," the album cover that displays for the band is based on the 1973 "Aerosmith" album art, because it starts with "A." Would like to know if I somehow can change which album shows. I'd rather it list it by year, perhaps. This is how albums are listed once you pick an artist in my list....
Hopefully this makes sense. have included a photo of the part I wish to change however, in case not! Thanks!

i am having the same problem, iTunes 11 just assume all the Artwork i had selected on the older iTunes 10, but now if you want to change it it is over
i got even an insolite case, i bought a new version (Japan) of a Diamond Head CD, i deleted the older version in iTunes and ripped the new one to the library. The Artist Artwork was the one from this CD and now i got a BLANK artwork
how i can change it? or define a new one?
i guess that was one more new Apple bug on this re-vamp iTunes

Can't change album art in iTunes 11.

I have iTunes 11 on a mac with all up to date software, I can't find a way to change cover art for albums, I can do it for individual songs but that's not enough. Any suggestions?

Brij011: You can have both individual track artwork and album art together in iTunes 11. It's easier to start with the album art (as you describe) and then open each track individually and drag the track artwork into Artwork portion of info. From there, you can rearrange the artwork to either show each track piece when the track is playing or to show the album artwork (whichever one is first in order will be displayed in the playing dialoge at the top of iTunes or with tools like Bowtie). It's a pain and much more difficult than it was <11, but it still works.
To the OP: I don't know how to change the default album artwork anymore in 11. It seems like it just pulls the first piece of artwork from the first track on the album, so if you're leading with track artwork in your Get Info box, then the album artwork will end up being the art from the first track.
Like others who have large iTunes collections and place a high level of importance on album artwork, I'm really disappointed that Apple has left us behind in favor of casual users. Here's to hoping that they re-introduce full artwork management in 11.1.

How can you change the Itunes library? I updated it, and chose the wrong library, and now I can't change it helppppppp pleasee!!! D: ;(

This *****! I updated my Itunes, and it asked me to choose a library, and I chose the wrong one, and now I can't change it. What am I supposed to do now?

Firstly, I caution your approach to allow users to alter the orientation of the report. Crystal Reports doesn't adapt too well when the orientation is modified. You'll end up with fields dropped off on the right hand side of the report, or with a large gap on the right. Our engine doesn't do any auto adjusting of fields when you alter the orientation.
In order to see the changes it is best to re-load the page and get a new viewer. You can choose to store the ParameterFields in a Session variable for re-use on the post back so your users aren't re-prompted for values.

I need to update my apps in the App Store, but when i try to update, the Sign Up Apple ID pop up box came out with different Apple ID. How can I change it to mine? My iTunes Store already login with my own Apple ID.

Just now you said the other Apple ID stored inside it, is that mean all my data back up in that the other ID?
