ITunes does not add album art though being added manually..

Hello people..
i have this problem, i just bought an iPod and used the iTunes 9 for the library and all. got some of the artwork from the store and some i downloaded manually and tried adding them..
now the thing is, it saved some of the artwork that i added manually and then it stopped doing that.. i tried restarting and closing iTunes and then opening it again, but it didn't work.. i don't know why!
any help please?

Would the problem album have all tracks by the same artist? If there are guest artists, your phone is not set up to Use Album Artists, and you're selecting the album via the Artist menu that might explain the issue.
For general tips see Grouping tracks into albums.
It may help to look at a concrete example with details of which tracks do and don't make it to the iPhone.

ITunes 10 does not add album art to 'Now playing' song

If an artwork is added to a song being played, via drag&drop into the artwork box or copy-paste or via the 'Get Info' window, it is not displayed in the artwork box; it is, however, visible in the Artwork section of the 'Get Info' window.
The cover art is displayed only after another song is played or iTunes is re-launched.
Any ideas anyone?
iTunes 10.6.3
OS X Lion 10.7.4
Intel iMac

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!

My PC itunes does not add mp4 files in the library.

My PC itunes does not add mp4 files in the library. why?

YEs, files downloaded before Monday are fine, coul add them ti library.
I'Ve now changed the FTP client, from Transmit to Cyberduck, and can now add new files to the library. All files transfered via Transmit however remain unacceptable to iTunes. It is a pity, as Transmit is much faster and user-friendly.
HAve written to Transmit for their input.

Itunes does not add some videos

itunes does not add some videos you create, are videos of my nephews and does not add, also new films and not to add that I can do .....

this should help a lot. i've had the same problem w/ my ipod but i ended up fixing the problem and having about 5 videos on my ipod (until it was stolen). nevertheless, download a program called Videora Ipod Converter. once you're done installing it, click on Setup on the tabs to your left and then click Profiles. After that, create a profile with the following settings.
Existing Quality Profiles: (create new profile i.e. ipod)
Profile Name: (same as above)
Mode: MPEG-4 > CBR Bitrate: 768kbps
Resolution: 320x240 Framerate: 29.97fps
Passes: One
-audio settings-
bitrate: 128kbps Channels: stereo Sample rate: input
after that, you should be fine. make sure you use the one-click transcode because you wont be able to complete fully with the transcode option (i forgot why because its been such a long time since i had my ipod)

While playing, Front Row does not display album art but a white image only

When I go through my music library via Front Row, the album art is still visible, however, as soon as I play a track, the cover disappears and there's a white square instead that, as usual, changes its position from the left to the right side. Could that be due to size limitations? My album art is 2400 x 2400, approximately 4 MB each. Thanks.

Same for me on my Mac Mini: I can see the shared pictures but can't see the ones in the local library. Funny thing is that I can see that library from my other Mac.
Also I noticed that one picture appeared in the middle of the (empty) slideshow, only 1 of 67. In the list view, those pictures appear normally, as you can see in this screenshot http://d.pr/eiXB
I'm a first-time iLife user, so I don't know if the issue is '11-specific.

ITunes does not show album artwork for FLAC files

I add FLAC music files to iTunes via Fluke which works perfectly.
Then I add the album artworks to the albums as usual (select all songs/right click/get info/info/then drag and drop a previously downloaded .jpg file). The artwork is visible in the Artwork column, in the Cover Flow but not in the right click/get info/info/artwork.
Which would not be a problem itself, but I use a Logitech Squeezebox Duet and on the controller there is no artwork for albums with FLAC files.
It is only with FLACs, MP3s work fine.
Any idea, what is it all about?
Thanks!

I knew that.
That was really my question how to solve it if there is a workaround.

ITunes does not display Album name or song names

Just got my new Macbook. Loaded a few CDs into iTunes and then plugged in my Nano. Neither iTunes nor the Nano display the Album and Song info. Is there some setting or configuration I need to do first?

After doing a bit of searching I find that the song/album info is not on commercial CDs. I need to be "on-line" so that the info can be retrieved from a database. Hmmmm.........
I will give that a try.

When I connect my iphone to my iMac, iTunes does not open automatically

When I connect my iphone to my iMac, iTunes does not open automatically, even though I have the "open iTunes when this phone is connected" option checked. I'm on the latest Snow Leopard with iTunes 10.4 and use an iPhone 4 with iOS 4.3.4. I think the problem began with the latest iTunes update.

Found the answer in another discussion! Here's what worked:
"I also had the same problem, iTunes 10.4 wouldn't launch when connecting iPhone 3GS.
I unchecked "Launch iTunes when this iPhone is connected", restarted, launched iTunes and connected iPhone, rechecked "Launch iTunes when this iPhone is connected". I was asked if I wanted to install iTunes helper and said yes. All works again."

Why is it that Itunes can't find album art for "North" by Elvis Costello and others

Why is it that from all the albums in my Library itunes can not find album art for:
"North" by Elvis Costello
"Viva la Vida" by Coldplay
and "Old Yellow Moon" by Emmylou Harris and Rodney Crowel?

Earl,
For iTunes to find the art, it needs to match exactly on the Artist and Album Text. Minor issues like spacing or punctuation can prevent the match, as can a misspelling like "Crowel" for Crowell."
Look in the iTunes Store to get the exact text, fix the tags in the corresponding tracks, and then try again to "Get Album Artwork."
If that still fails, just grab the correct art off the web, and paste it into the Artwork tab.

I'm trying to add album art to a CD I imported but it will not work. The album art will add to other albums but it won't show on the album. The CD is imported from Japan, didn't think that would be a problem. Does anyone know a solution?

Vanguard,
You are welcome. As I gather you have now figured out, any of the other formats (AAC, MP3, AIFF, or Apple Lossless) can handle artwork just fine.
Enjoy the music!

How do I add album art not using iTunes

How do I add album art without first importing the songs into iTunes? Is there a program that will do this?

Well, my preferred method is to use a web search engine, restrict it to display artwork, then choose the best. Slow but sure.
Browse the wwww.pure-mac.com web site for free utilities out there. I am sure there are many commercial packages to "clean up" iTunes but frankly I think they are hype.
See if there is something on the Dougscripts web site.
I know I have utilities such as XLD that do it as part of the CD ripping process.

Album Art on iTunes does not show up on iPod

I've put my CD's onto my iPod nano, and I put the Album Art so when I click "Get Info" on iTunes, it shows the Album Art. However, when I play the songs on my iPod, it doesn't show up. What's wrong?

How do you add album art in iTunes 12? everything I've tried doesn't work

how do you add album art in iTunes 12?

Two methods:
Right-click on the album, select Get Album Artwork. iTunes will determine whether this album is available from the iTunes Store and, if so, download the artwork image from the Store and associate it with the media files.
Right-click on the album, select Get Info and then the Artwork tab, Then:
click the Add Artwork button, navigate to and select an image file on your computer, or
drag and drop an image file from your computer to the Artwork tab, or
copy an image to the clipboard (for example, from a web page) go to the Artwork tab and press Ctrl-V (there's a bug in iTunes 12.0.1.26 such that right-click > paste does not work here
For the second method, you can also access the "old style" editor window from iTunes 11 by holding down Shift as you right-click > Get Info.
Lastly, there are three cases in which you can follow these procedures but artwork is not correctly associated with or embedded in your media files:
your media are in a format that doesn't accommodate embedded artwork - typically WAV files. To embed artwork you'll need to convert to another format - Apple Lossless or AIFF if you want to preserve lossless quality, AAC or MP3 otherwise.
your media files are read only - to fix this, use Windows Explorer to find the folder that contains your files, right-click and select Properties. On the General tab there's a check box labeled "Read-only" - if this is checked, or is grey (sometimes blue), click the box so that the flag is unchecked and the box is white. Click OK, and then OK again when the "Apply changes to this folder, subfolders and files" option selected. Now try adding the artwork again.
Windows permissions issues are preventing iTunes from updating your media files (there's some anecdotal evidence of a change in this behavior in iTunes 12). See turingtest2's notes on Repair security permissions for iTunes for Windows for advice on fixing this, then try adding the artwork again.

I can no longer add album art work in iTunes version 10.6.0.40

WHY can I no longer add album art work in iTunes version 10.6.0.40? It is maddening. I have checked many boards and discussion groups but no one has a sure fix. Why is Apple not tending to this problem? They of all groups should know the importance of how something looks.

I had the the same problem albeit with an m4v (same hardware and OS rev too!, iTunes 10.6.3). I was able to add the movie to a new library per Limnos' suggestion here, indicating that iTunes wasn't totally busted. However, I was also able to see the movie in the Recently Added smart playlist (another hat tip to Limnos), although it still did not appear in the Movies section of my iTunes library. (It was also in the iTunes Library.xml file.)
So I called AppleCare, and they directed me to move the file from the external drive where it was living, into the /Users/<Your Name Here>/Movies directory, and to "Add to Library" (Command-O) from that location. Sure enough (and much to my surprise), it showed up immediately (duplicated, actually) in the Movies section of my iTunes library. Subsequent additions to my Library have not misbehaved similiarly.
