ITUNES COPY AND PASTE ARTWORK PROBLEM

Ive had a problem ever since I downloaded the newest itunes update and want to see if anyone else is having this issue. I hope I can explain this accurately.
When you have the album artwork displayed on the bottom left hand of the itunes screen. I used to be able to double click on the artwork and copy that album cover art and paste it onto another track. Ever since Ive updated itunes a couple weeks ago, the double clicking is no longer working. When I doubleclick, it just doesnt work and doesnt give me the option to cut or copy anymore. So now I have no ability to cut/copy and paste artwork from one album to another. I used to always do t his routinely without a problem. Is anyone else having this issue or have an idea what is going on? Did a setting accidentally change?
Im talking about the album artwork on the bottom left of the screen. Double clicking it no longer works- doesnt give me any options. (The music is not purchased from itunes so I often manually update the artwork)

Copy from the artwork panel (and image selection between multiple artwork) is broken on this build. You can still copy art from the artwork tab in Get Info.

Cannot copy and paste artwork in iTunes

Cannot copy and paste artwork in itunes. Does anyone have suggestions?

First you need to open song info copy from or paste to the artwork box. It won't work with right click, you need to use the short cuts "cmd C" for copy and "cmd V' for paste.

ITunes Artwork - can no longer copy and paste artwork

I can't copy and paste artwork any longer since I upgraded iTunes. Shows as a blank image. Please help.

Thank you! For some reason it no longer works when I use Google Chrome. When I used IE9, it works fine. Appreciate it!

In,Tunes,12,,Windows,7--I,can't,copy,and,past,artwork,in,music,files....Help,any one?

I just want to copy and paste artwork in my music files that I have modified. The Shift, right click on the file, and Get Info doesn't work with iTunes 12.
Does anyone know a work around for this?

I always advise my Contribute clients to "scrub" any Microsoft text before pasting it. You might be able to do this by changing the doc to .txt? Hopefully that would get rid of the layout code embedded in a doc or docx document.
However, since I don't trust anything Microsoft seems to have excess code attached, I first put it into Text Edit on my Mac and save it. Not sure what the equivalent program is on Windows. I think an email program could work just as well, Twigman. You might ask your tech how to save the MS doc so it has no code, like pure ascii text. That way, they will not have to leave Word to scrub the old code out.

Getting rid of copied and pasted artwork

Yesterday my copy of the new Pearl Jam album arrived and included in the package was 2 free concerts to download, which I have done. All installed OK and I have managed to get them showing in my iTunes library.
Now, not being proper releases there was no iTunes artwork for the albums however PJ did release both shows as official bootlegs a few years ago so there is artwork out there which I found using Google images. I promptly copied and pasted the artwork into iTunes.
Only on one of them I mistakenly pasted the wrong artwork and now I can't get rid of it. "Clear downloaded album artwork" doesn't work. Now I have made this mistake many times with CD's I have copied and solved the problem by deleting the songs from the library and deleting the files altogether and re-copying but in this case I can't delete the files as I won't get them back again (being one-time free downloads). I have deleted the tracks from the iTunes library and re-added the files but the artwork re-appears again as if it has somehow welded itself to the files. Does anyone know how I can get rid of it so I can get the correct artwork on there?

Itunes copy and paste get info

I have a lot of info written in the Comments field in my itunes songs and was wondering if I can get automator to copy that field to the Lyrics field. Each song has different information written in the comment field and I have thousands of songs so you can see how this would be tedious to do manually.
Anyone please help who knows

Hi,
1. Open "Applescript Utility" (in your Application->AppleScript folder), check "Enable GUI Scripting", you will need your login password. Now quit "Applescript Utility".
2. Open "Script Editor". Copy and Paste the following into the script editor,
tell application "iTunes"
set N_ames to the name of selection
set x to the number of items in N_ames
repeat with i from 1 to x
set C_omment to the comment of track (item i of N_ames) of library playlist 1
set L_yrics to the lyrics of track (item i of N_ames) of library playlist 1
set lyrics of track (item i of N_ames) of library playlist 1 to {C_omment & return & L_yrics}
end repeat
end tell
3. Save the file in your Home/Library/iTunes/Scripts folder and give it any name you like. You may need to create the folder "Scripts" in Home/Library/iTunes folder.
4. Open iTunes, you will see a symbol in iTunes menu item, this is the symbol for script. Under the symbol you will find your script.
5. Select any number of songs anywhere in iTunes, click on the script symbol and choose the script you saved before.
The script will copy the comment of a song and add it on top of the lyrics of that song (if you don't have any lyrics, it will only add the comment).

Copy and paste adjustment problem/ possible bug.

Hi all
I have just encountered a very strange problem/ possible bug.
I have been working on a file in photoshop cs5 that had come from lightroom 5.3. This was then saved (automaticaly becomes tiff file in Lightroom). I then wanted to make some more adjustments to it in lightroom (using local adjustment clarity). I then tried to copy the settings of the adjustment brush from the tiff to the original raw file. This is where it gets very strange. The adjustments are copied but they are rotated ccw by 90 degrees! I can replicate this every time.
Could someone else try to see if this problem exists on their catalogs or if its a corrpution problem my end.

Noted on the bug, thanks.

There's a solution identified there.
Reboot holding down the Shift Key (you'll hear a little series of tones)
Utilities->Disk Utility
Repair Permissions on your system HD
Reboot.
You NEED to do the Shift-Key reboot - just doing repair permissions didn't work for me.

I am no longer able to copy and paste artwork to my songs with the new Itunes to transfer to my Itouch

I have tried everything and it still wont work, the strange thing is when I got to "Get Info" and click on the "Artwork" tab it's there but it wont transfer over to my Itouch. Is there something else I need to be doing now? It used to do it automatically

Unfortunately the the images you posted are too small to be read and the pertinent information is cut off.

You can only join tracks when importing from a CD and likewise, the Options button is also only visible when importing from CD.
When the CD is in the drive and showing in iTunes, you will see Options, CD Info and Import CD choices. If you select Options, the Join CD Tracks option only appears when you have two or more adjacent tracks selected. See the screenshots below:

HT201269 itunes cannot see my iphone backup. I have a backup of the backup on an external HD, but even tech support cannot figure this one out. I copy and paste backups into the correct folder but itunes still does not see it. All I need are my contact

Sorry for short novel I am writing. I just wanted to cover as much backround as possible.
So, here it goes. I backed up my iphone 4 after renting a movie. The movie only played the starting credits before I was called on for daddy duty. A few days later the movie would not play, so I restored my phone from my backup. The movie would still would not play so itunes support refunded my purchase and ended my viewing privileges for that rental after verifying that I had not viewed the movie. I then had a problem with my contacts showing up twice in the contacts list after the restore. So I attempted another restore. All was well at this point. I then started having trouble with my pc and decided to copy the internal drive to an external source. A week later I had a system failure and did a factory restore on my computer. I re-installed itunes and tried to copy and paste the old backup into the new itunes. Now itunes just flat out does not see the backup file (I failed to mention that I did a factory reset on the iphone after the last backup, hopping to start fresh). Tech support had me uninstall and re-install itunes and then copy and paste the old backup into the newly installed itunes with no luck. The files are all there, but itunes just doesn't see them (itunes says the device has not been backed up to the cloud or to the local machine). We then tried backing up the factory restored iphone and replacing that restore file with one of my old backups on the external drive. Ok, this is where it gets weird. We replaced the guts of the folder but left the folder itself so itunes would continue to recognize the new backup folder with the old files. Whoohoo, itunes now see's a backup folder full of old files, or so we thought. The new files were deleted using shift delete so they would be gone for good and not mix with any files or folders. When I restore my phone, it restores the files that were deleted from the restore file (pause here for a moment and imagine the stupid look on the face of tech support and I while we silently wonder how files that were permanently deleted were restored). This left tech support and I both scratching our heads. My service issue was escalated to the next level. I waited for the phone call the next day that was scheduled at 10am to my wife's phone, but the call never came through. As usual, apple disappoints again. I just bought an iphone 5s and still have the iphone 4, and am looking for a solution to retrieve my contacts and restore to the 4 or 5s. I am guessing that files in other folders must be associated with the iphone backup in order for itunes to retrieve the files. Any ideas or support in retrieving my contacts would be greatly appreciated.

Hey everyone! i have a external hardrive i keep my itunes library of songs on and it wont sync with my ipod touch inless i copy and paste it into my ipod device when thats conected. i dont want all the songs on there only checked ones. help plz!!

im having trouble with syncing my ipod touch with my itunes library that i keep on a external hardrive. when i plug up my external hardrive that has all my songs on it, it doesn't sync to my ipod correctly. i have to copy and paste the songs to my ipod device when its connected. i dont want all the songs on there and i want to be able to manually control whats on my ipod. and id like to take some songs off of the ipod also but i want them still in my itunes library though. i usually check the songs i want on the ipod but it isnt working that way maybe because its a external hardrive?? i never had a problem with past ipods with my library on itunes but i ran out of space on my computer and had to transfer all of the songs to my external hardrive. please someone help me!! i thought it would be simple! but it isnt the case! i plug up my hardrive then my ipod, i press sync and nothing gets transfered unless i copy and paste them to the ipod. even though it says ipod syncing in progress! this is really confusing! please help me!! sorry if this is jumbled up and confusing..

Correct. When you update via iTunes all synced media that is not in your iTunes library will be lost.
As IO said before:
You can redownload most iTunes pruchases by:
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
I do not think it included audio books.

Copy and paste album art in iTunes 12 for Mac

ITunes continues to give me a message that it cannot download my podcast from podomatic -- what am I doing wrong? I am following the instructions exactly and copying and pasting the rss feed.

Help! I've watched two tutorials and it appears that this should be so simple, but iTunes will not download my podcast that I host on podomatic.com. I've copied and pasted the RSS feed. What am I doing wrong?
Thank you!

The feed itself seems OK and can be subscribed to manually in iTunes, and the latest episode downloaded OK.
However, on checking the URL of the latest episode's media file in Safari resulted in a download: it should play in the browser. Though forcing a download doesn't seem to upset the iTunes application, the Store doesn't like it since it needs to be able to stream the file to play it in the Store page.
It's also a requirement that the server can handle 'byte range requests' (where only part of the file is requested at a time instead of the whole thing) because this is the method used by iTunes. It was testing for this that showed there was a problem because I got a 'forbidden' error (in other words, because a download is forced it's not possible to request only part of the file).
It must be possible to get this straight on Podomatic since they handle a lot of podcasts, but you will need to take it up with them and check that it's been corrected.
The first test is to paste the media file URL into Safari's address bar and hit return: after a short delay it should play in the browser window. If it downloads you still have a problem.
