ITunes manually added artwork is missing after Windows Easy Transfer from XP to Windows-7. Please help!
After a Windows Easy Transfer from a Windows XP pc to a new Windows-7 pc, all the iTunes artwork that I had previously manually added is now missing. I estimate 25-30% of my CDs needed manual intervention to add artwork. Some of these were album covers I found on the web but many are photos that I took and cropped but have not retained. I have nearly 20,000 songs. Every one had artwork on my XP machine. Now on Windows-7 it appears to be missing. I spent many patient hours to get artwork in place for all my music and don't want to loose it or have to repeat the process. Please help! Many thanks for any contributions.

Windows Easy Transfer from XP to 8.1 not working
I was too quick with my original answer and edited it. I think the info i provided is wrong.The tool that Chris linked specifically states it will do xp to windows 8.1.http://www.microsoft.com/windows/en-us/xp/transfer-your-data.aspx?ocid=XPEOS_O_WOL_NULL_NULLHere is a microsoft virtual academy link for moving from xp to 8.1https://www.microsoftvirtualacademy.com/en-us/training-courses/migrating-from-windows-xp-to-windows-...
So after the final working USB port finally dying on me, we've got a new desktop for a client. I discovered and downloaded the Windows Easy Transfer tool for Windows XP and, while it says it's for Windows 7, I found a post by someone at Microsoft saying it would work with Windows 8 as well. I've created the WET file on the XP machine and moved it over to the new machine, but when I attempt to use the WET tool to import the old files, I get an error message saying that WET can't transfer files from Vista or XP. Is this because it's 8.1 instead of 8? Does the .1 really makes that much of a difference?Any ideas on what to do from here? I'm kind of at a loss, and I really need to be able to move these files over.

Windows Easy Transfer does not connect Windows 8 with Windows 7
A Windows 7 PC and a Windows 8 PC are on a network and working flawlessly. They can access each other either by shared folders or Homegroup. I am trying to transfer files and settings from the Windows 7 PC to the Windows 8 PC using Windows Easy Transfer.
Everything proceeds smoothly until the connection step when process gets stuck. I do not know how to go about to address issue.
Any tip will be greatly appreciated.
HongHi,
Which method do you use to transfer items to Windows 8, via network or via USB drive?
If you stuck at this step, you can try the other methods for a test.

How can I get ITUNES to display manually added artwork for each song regardless of the album name?
I have been manually adding artwork to my songs. When I click the Show Artwork check box, it doesn't show the cover art. For example some greatest hits albums have different cover art per track. ITUNES picks one of the cover art and shows it for the entire album grouping.
Anyway around this? I want the added cover art to display per song.The artwork of each individual track does display during playback, in the small thumbnail at the top of the iTunes window, or at the left of the MiniPlayer control (opens by clicking the thumbnail), or the larger artwork panel that is shown if you click on the Show Large Artwork control in the MiniPlayer. It should also display on any iPod or iOS Now Playing view.
The Up Next list uses the album art (usually cover of the first track) for everything from the same album, which is perhaps a shame, although in general one artwork per album makes sense.

Manually added artwork won't stick anymore.
I can get it added but it's not persistent. It goes away as soon as I go away from the particular album.
This used to work. I've added lots of manual artwork for the album covers. But somewhere with new releases of software it broke. I'm on the current version of Itunes but can't tell you exactly what version used to work.
I've completely uninstalled and reinstalled Itunes as recommended by support but it didn't help.
Is anyone else having problems with their manually added artwork?Adding artwork to songs and other items
Music and video you buy from the iTunes Store comes with its own artwork. *You can add your own artwork to songs and other items in your library.*
*You can add many popular types of still-image files, including JPEG, PNG, GIF, TIFF, and Photoshop. You must convert WAV files to another format before you can add artwork.*
In list view (the leftmost View button), to display artwork for the currently selected item, choose View > Show Artwork or click this button (in the bottom left of the iTunes window):
Make sure the artwork you import into iTunes is a compatible format. If your personal movie is a WAV file, it must be converted to another format before artwork can be added.

I cannot transfer my music from my itunes to my iphone 5s after i connected my iphone to another laptop yesterday. please help me out
If you are trying to drag a song over, do you have Manually Manage Music checked in iTunes? You need to check your iTunes settings before trying to put music on it. It may be that you have it set to sync. Check the Summary page of iTunes after you have selected the iPhone in iTunes.

I bought a new laptop and used Windows Easy Transfer cable and moved all files from one computer to another. I installed iTunes and found my iTunes music Library. However, when I plug in my iPod it says it is already synced with another iTunes Library.
I don't see anything in Help that shows when you already have transfered all the files over. Why would it want to erase and sync when I already have all the music folder copied over? I didn't have an issue when I had another technician copy from one laptop to another. Home sharing is also on but not being recognized.I suspect you only migrated the media folder instead of the complete working library. Either review the transfer process and copy over the entire iTunes folder from your old profile's music folder or see Recovering your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device.
