ITunes will only give me deluxe album artwork

About two months ago, someone gave me a physical copy of Lil Wayne's "Tha Carter IV" for my birthday. I imported the CD into iTunes, and clicked on "Get Album Artwork".
The album art fetch always works fine for me when I have to use it -- I've never had a problem with it, except now. I don't have the deluxe edition of the album, just the standard one, but iTunes keeps giving me the deluxe version.
I always like to keep my album art right. I'm not sure why, but I like it perfect. So, I just used a picture of the regular album artwork from the Internet, but the resolution is never as good. Does anybody know how I can get the regular album artwork to come through from iTunes instead of the deluxe artwork?

Hello BazookaB
You can find the artwork yourself online and then add it yourself. The article below will assist with adding your artwork to items in iTunes.

IPhone 6 will not sync to iTunes. ITunes will only give restore option.

I restored my hubby's new iPhone 6 from his itunes, iphone 5 backup and it won't sync his apps, music or other media. When I plug
it into his Windows 8 laptop (vomit, lol), it only give me the option to restore from backup or start as a new phone. I've restored the phone 3 times. I've rebooted the phone and laptop.
HALP! He has a lot of music that he's stored on there that isn't just an iTunes download away.

Had the same issue. Restored from previous backup, but the apps & music were missing (did not sync).
I then gave up and did "Set as new iPhone" and then suddenly all apps started to sync.
Good luck.

After i have downloaded an album from iCloud to my new macbook pro. Itunes will only play one song at a time. If i hit the fast forward or back button will not do anything. I have to use the mouse to hit the next tidal in the album then hit play for it

after i have downloaded an album from iCloud to my new macbook pro. Itunes will only play one song at a time. If i hit the fast forward or back button will not do anything. I have to use the mouse to hit the next tidal in the album then hit play for it to play the next song. Or put it in the UP NEXT.

First, make sure these items have checkmarks next to their names in iTunes. Continuous playback only works on checked items. Itunes will play all checked items in a list whether or not they're from the same album.
If you see that nothing in your library is checked and you want to check everything, hold down Ctrl while checking an item. This checks everything.
Next, fixing the "1 of 1" problem is easily. Select all the tracks that make up the book/album. Let's say there are 15. Press Ctrl-I. Doublecheck that the album box is filled in with the name of the book, and if not, type it there. Enter "15" in the box for the total number of tracks. Click OK. Now all the items should be "1 of 15," "2 of 15," and so on.

How do I use my redeemed gift card to purchase a book on iBooks when it will only give the option of "Mastercard, Visa, Amex or 'None' (Billing Address)"??

How do I use my redeemed gift card to purchase a book on iBooks when it will only give the option of "Mastercard, Visa, Amex or 'None' (Billing Address)"??
Desperately need help so I can purchase books for my study course!!

Sir,
I thought So too but then I went to Itunes Library and try and buy a single song from an album for $1.29. Now my Itunes Gift card balance is $ 7.10 as I mentioned earlier. it still did not let me buy and kept trying billing my Visa card.
Should I restart my PC and Itunes and retry. What do you suggest?

I want to take the photos off my iPhone and put them directly onto an external hard disk. I want to bypass iPhoto altogether. When I link my iPhone to my computer, it only opens in iTunes, which only gives me the option to save my photos to iPhoto. Help!

I want to take the photos off my iPhone and put them directly onto an external hard disk - I don't have any room left on my computer. I want to bypass iPhoto altogether. When I link my iPhone to my computer, it only opens in iTunes, which only gives me the option to save my photos to iPhoto. Help! This is seriously frustrating!.
Additionally, I'd like to be able to take the 2000+ photos out of iPhoto and put them on a disk in a folder. I have managed to export them to the hard disk but it's just plonked all 2000+ photos in a list - not ideal if I want to use it for anything else. And then I have to manually delete the photos from iPhoto. Is there not a quick and easy way of dealing with this?
Anyone got any bright ideas? Thanks for your help!

I too would like to be able to do this. Just put them where i want the. IFTT a scripting app will put the images in dropbox for you , but its been pretty iffy.

Please HELP join these 2 iTunes folders in Windows 7 preserving album artwork & tags (discussion reply requested)

(Discussion Reply Requested ) Please HELP join these 2 iTunes folders in
Windows 7 preserving album artwork & "tags"
I have searched and not found an up to date understandable answer as how
to join 2 working portable same (apple ID) user iTunes folders into one itunes folder
while above all else preserving hand edited Abum Artwork and hand edited tags.
( It was many hours of hand edited added Album Artwork and editing of tags )
Situation is Windows 7 ( 64 bit ) with current iTunes installed ( 2014-03-17 )
The hard drive crashed and the old \iTunes folder and all old contents have been copied and backed up.
The windows 7 64 bit and latest iTunes 64 bit has been re-installed cleanly ( no old music added )
Music from the iTunes cloud was then added/downloaded into iTunes
Now \itunes has 40 gig of music available to play.
Now I want to join the currently installed working \itunes folder ( 40 gig of music )
with the old saved \itunes folder ( 100 gig of music ) into just one \iTunes folder
with preserving the current Album Artwork and editing of "tags" of both folders.
I have seen previous answers that use words like " consolidate " , " export / import ",
" merge " , " apple home sharing " , " use explorer to copy ..." , ect
none of which mentioned if the current Album Artwork
or tags survive unchanged from their current "specially edited" status.
I know their may be the ineviatable "duplicates", but there seems
to be several ways to handle them. ( If you know the best way to
prevent or remove duplicates in this situation with joining two
iTunes folders in Windows please include that information also ).
Please provide an explanation of how to join these 2 iTunes folders
in Windows 7 into one \iTunes folder while preserving Album Artwork and tags.

Mike, thanks for the response. I will try this. I'll have to dig around here too, bc I want to know more about how I can import a windows xml file (while replacing the drive paths) and it creating a seperate itunes library with the pointers on the mac. Essentially, I have 2 libraries and there may not be a way around this with a windows machine and a mac - ive read plenty on Choose library on open, and mac to mac, windows to windows.
I also need to know more about what is getting stored in the album art folders. I believe it seems that when you select all, and copy the image in the artwork get info page its actually embedding these images in the files themselves, but if you paste into the left bottom artwork display pane its just adding where?? If I deleted the contents of this folder what would happen, should I not be copying this content?
If I update the images on the mac and swap out the drive paths and move the external drive back to the windows box, will i lose any updates I did while on the mac?
Good suggestion though, I'll try this out.

Itunes automatically rechanges tags and removes album artwork

my iTunes automatically rechanges tags and removes album artwork, and i mean in the bad way, rmoving my artwork, and rechanging Progressive Rock tag to Progressieve rock
I hate it when he does that, fix this bug please

iTunes does not do any automatic tag changes. However, it will reflect the changes if another program changes tag data. The usual culprit is Windows Media Player.
Go into WMP and uncheck any library options that could cause it to retrieve media data from the internet, etc, etc.

Since update iTunes will only play one song at a time.

I know there is probably a simple solution but I can't find it. iTunes will only play one song and then it's done. It won't continuously play from my libray. I have over 5000. I don't know what I am doing wrong. I just can't find the solution. I even click on the next button and it stops.

Make sure all songs have a checkmark in front of them.

Help! itunes will only play one song at a time

My itunes is acting screwy. I open a playlist and play the first song, and itunes only plays that song. it won't keep going forward. it doesn't freeze up; i just have to manually play the next song. this just started yesterday with no adjustments, new downloads...no nothing. does anyone know what is going on? i have already uninstalled and reinstalled itunes, but to no avail. same problem. is this a setting somewhere that i don't know about?

Are the boxes beside each song checked? iTunes will only play the songs that are checked. To check all the songs press control + click in any box. To check only some songs, you can highlight them and then right click and choose check selection.

I have a 3GS phone that can no longer be upgraded on my Powerbook because it is ancient and can only run 10.4.11, consequently itunes will only upgrade to 9.2.1(4). Is there any way i can upgrade the phone so hereafter i will not need a computer to do it.

I have a 3GS phone that can no longer be upgraded on my Powerbook because it is ancient and the os will only run 10.4.11, consequently iTunes will only upgrade to 9.2.1(4). Please don't answer that i need to upgrade the computer os because that has been a past nightmare i have been through too many times.
Is there any way i can upgrade the phone w/o going to an apple store so hereafter w/ the upgrade to the new os (whenever that gets squared away), i will not need a computer to do it?
Thanks in advance,

Solved my issue by setting up a new account on my daughter's computer. Not 100% solved, but i was able to get the update on my 3GS.

My phone is stuck in recovery mode, and iTunes will only let me restore to factory settings. My question: Can I restore from iTunes backup after restoring to factory settings?

I attempted to update to iOS 8 and now my phone is stuck in recovery mode, and iTunes will only let me restore to factory settings. My question: Can I restore from iTunes backup after restoring to factory settings?

Hi, kformagg
I would say yes. I once had the same problem (iPhone 5, IOS 7) and first restored to factory settings and after that from iCloud backup.
It worked very well.

Itunes will only load on C drive, not E drive

Greetings, Itunes will only load on C drive. (new build win 8.1) I have a 120G SSD for C and a 1tg Hdd for E. I am trying to load itunes on the E drive (1tb hdd) but no matter what I do, it loads on the C drive. I tried running install file from the E drive. It installs itunes on the E drive. I check the C drive and its not there. But when I sync (homeshare) it puts everything on the C drive.
I have tried just changing the letter C to a E on the screen where it asks where you want it installed. I have tried just a E, I have tried creating a folder on E first. and evey other combination of the above. (complete uninstalls between attempts
Itunes will not fit on the C drive.
Thanks in advance

Well, I talked with a guy at work who has done the same as I'm trying. He says that besides setting up Itunes in the new drive, that there is another place where you have to tell itunes where to put the import data. But he can't remember where it was,so I am pointed in the right direction anyway.

Itunes will only start up once

hi
i think i need some help! i've had problems mainly due to my own studipity! i installed the standalone quicktime and that sort of helped. but now itunes will only open once if i close it down and try to open it again it wont open. i have to restart my pc. i also have to acept to the terms and conditons when it opens.
i also havent been able to access the music store today not sure if its just me or itunes is having trouble.
i'd really appricate any help
i've never posted on a forum before so if i've left any vital info out let me know!!
thank you

we're still not done yet.
actually, the odd thing about your case is not so much that you aren't able to open itunes again ... it's that you can open it again after you restart the PC.
so let's try an experiment.
get itunes running again. while it's running, launch your Task Manager, and go to the processes Tab.
you should see an "itunes.exe" process in there.
now close itunes down.
does the itunes.exe process persist in Task Manager sfter you shut itunes down?
if it does persist, try shutting that process down in Task Manager.
if you can do that, are you then able to launch itunes again (without shutting your PC down first)?
love, b

TS1424 Itunes will only download 2KB of a podcast that should be +20MB. Then calls it complete. How do I fix this problem.

Itunes will only download 2KB of a podcast that should be +20MB. Then calls it complete. How do I fix this problem.

If your country's iTunes Store allows you to redownload purchased tracks, I'd delete your current copy of the track and try redownloading a fresh one. See the following document for instructions:
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
Otherwise, I'd report the problem to the iTunes Store.
Log in to the Store. Click on "Account" in your Quick Links. When you're in your Account information screen, go down to Purchase History and click "See all".
Find the item that is not playing properly. If you can't see "Report a Problem" next to the item, click the "Report a problem" button. Now click the "Report a Problem" link next to the item.
