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.

  • Itunes 10.6.3 - Just update to the new Itunes and the album artwork is not sticking anymore... I upload the artwork and when I change songs and go back the art is gone. Anyone with similar issue ?

    I have this issue.  Album artwork was totally fine before.  After this update, it is all messed up and even got messed up when transferred to my iphone.
    iTunes doesn't have the artwork anymore, but then iPhone has it but shows wrong artwork with wrong albums.
    Please fix!

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • Manually adding Artwork (like from iTS)

    Hi there, I'm scanning the artwork that comes from my CDs to add them to the songs. I'm noticing that when I do it, the song file size grows. Which sounds logical. At the same time I understand that what happens to the song-files when the artworks are downloaded automatically from the iTS is different (I'm not sure here, I'm just guessing): The songs don't really grow in size as the artwork doesn't really go into them. What I understand is that they are stored somewhere else and the songs just refer to them.
    If this is true, well, I see an obvious advantage, the songs stay the same size and probably it's faster to play them and display their artworks.
    If there's any expert around in the iTunes ways, please help me out. If the way iTS downloads and adds the artworks into the songs is better, and there is a way to replicate it, I'd love to know how. Otherwise I'll stick to my fully manual process.
    Thanks.

    I artwork already is embedded in the song files, iTunes won't get artwork from the iTunes store.
    You could delete all artwork and then get the ones from the iTunes Store, but this is a bit tricky. If the artist or album isn't available at the Store, no artwork is downloaded. So you end with nothing for those albums.
    I would consider getting assistance from a script to save the existing artwork first.
    The first one which came in mind is Save Album Art to Album Folder.
    It saves the artwork from the selected tracks to the folder where the song file resides or to a chosen folder. But it saves the artwork of all tracks, not just the album.
    Another, more attractive option is to save the artwork using Export Artwork to iPhoto.
    This one has an option to save only one piece of artwork of an album.
    After you saved the artwork, select all tracks (Command-A) and 'Get Info' (Command-I). Check the checkbox at 'Artwork' and click OK.
    iTunes will remove all embedded artwork.
    Select all tracks again and choose 'Get Album Artwork' from the Advanced menu. Alternatively control-click on the selection and choose 'Get Album Artwork' from the contextual menu.
    After a while, iTunes will have downloaded the artwork for (hopefully) most albums. You then can add missing ones from your iPhoto library.
    Which method you choose, it will take a lot of time depending on the size of your library.
    Ideal would be a script that saves the artwork, deletes it from the song file, requests the Store for artwork, deletes the saved artwork if artwork is downloaded or adds the saved artwork if no artwork is downloaded.
    However, such a script does not exist (yet) as far as I know.
    Some notes:
    You must be using iTunes 7.0.x
    You must have an iTunes Store account.
    The song, artist and album names must exactly match the ones at the iTunes Store, although recent experiences showed to me that minor mismatches still will download the correct artwork.

  • Artwork won't stick for videos

    Hello, all!
    When I install new artwork for videos, it simply doesn't stick. Even when using third party software like MetaX.
    Until a few months back it used to work, so I've no idea what's going on! Files are JPEG as before...
    Does anyone have an idea of how this could be fixed??!
    Many thanks!

    Am having a similar problem.
    This afternoon (UK) I ripped two DVDs and added them to my iTunes folder. No problem. One I right-mouse clicked and did Get Info and then added a JPG that I saved from Amazon. No problem.
    The second movie I do the same exercise, it adds it to the Get Info and when I click OK it reverts back to the original one. And this is the same JPG as the other one (they're parts 1 and parts2 of a DVD set).
    Most odd.

  • Manually Adding Artworks to Songs

    Hi guys, I just got some compilations dvds for which iTunes has no artwork available, so I want to scan their artworks and manually add them to each song. I intend to make a nice tiny file that isn't bigger than 100kB (I don't want to increase the size of every song by much) and yet to be as clear as possible. You know, to show a decent artwork when in Front Row.
    I've got an HP Deskjet F380 (all in one). Does anyone know what's the best balance between scanner resolution and file compression to achieve my goal?
    Thanks in advance.

    Manual works well but if you delete a song from your computer then you lose the "orignal" so if anything happens to your iPod library you don't get it back with importing or purchasing again.

  • Manually Adding Artwork

    I used to be able to cut and paste album artwork into iTunes. Since the release of iTunes 7, I cannot do this. Can anyone help out? Is there a way to copy artwork (say out on Amazon) and paste it into iTunes anymore?
    macbook   Mac OS X (10.4.7)  

    I have no problem dragging artwork to the lower left hand corner in Itunes 7.0.2. Be sure to check whether that lower left hand corner box is showing "currently playing" or "selected" as that will determine where the artwork goes (so if you've got it set to "selected" and are playing track A but have track B selected the artwork will go to track B even if you intended for it to go to track A).

    You cannot apply your own artwork to .wav files. If that isn't the issue try Repair security permissions for iTunes for Windows.

  • Manually managed artwork won't show on ipod

    hi! this is my post because i don't really know how to solve this problem.
    i have the last version of itunes under windows xp pro, using a 30gb 5G ipod video. before installing the new itunes (before having the games support) when i managed the artwork i only had to drag'n'drop the image file on the info window or into the little artwork screen and itunes copied the artwork inside the music file (i know because when i copy the mp3 from the ipod to PC media player showed artwork correctly).
    so now, when i try to put any artwork on the ipod, it will only show on itunes. there's no evidence that itunes is changing ID tags to add the artwork inside the mp3's. so when i disconnect ipod from the PC, there's no artwork relationed with the album/song in the ipod.
    the only way i can currently put artwork in the ipod is transferring the mp3 to itunes library, then from library to ipod and only if itunes previously has found the artwork itself.... and if i do so, then artwork will show on the ipod but not on itunes.... that's weird.
    it's too much work for nothing, i like to manage artwork myself, because maybe i'm having some mp3 that are not any "official" album (like class recordings or something like that) and there's no way that itunes can find any artwork for these files (anyway, i don't like to use itunes as music software cause it's too slow with windows, so i don't want to have all my songs listed on itunes library).
    sooooooo.... is there any way to insert artwork inside the ID tags with itunes as we could do it with the old itunes? i hope there is, it's driving me crazy and currently i don't really know which songs have artwork and which don't. i had a very neat and accured artwork database before that ** itunes update T_T
    thanks you so much in advance!!

    Strangely I was able to find help myself. I checked one box under the settings that said something like "show album artwork". Strange because it was unchecked before, I had never checked it myself and previously all the artwork was visible properly...
    When I clicked that checkbox, to my horror iTunes said something to the effect of "Deleting artwork from 'iPod'". After that it went for a long time into a "Optimizing artwork for 'iPod'" and after that wait all the artwork is shown properly. I wonder what that did...?

  • Problem with adding artwork manually in itunes

    I'm having trouble manually adding artwork to several albums in itunes 10.7 on macbook pro (the 'get album artwork' facility won't pick these discs up presumably because they're too obscure).
    I go to 'get info', select the relevant check box, then add a  non-read only, apparently normal jpg to the artwork box. This image then displays successfully in the artwork box, I press ok, but when I return to the albums list it won't display at all. This has been consistent problem that I haven't only experienced in this version of itunes and it's very irritating having just a few blank albums that refuse to change.
    Any ideas what might be causing this. Or is there a workaround or an alternative method I can use to add artwork?

    Thanks both for the responses.
    Limnos - I can't find an equivalent 'show artwork' function in the view menu in my version of itunes, and I'd rather not have step back to an older version of itunes if I can avoid it.
    BUT having thought about it I think the root of the problem must be that they are all albums with .flac files that have been imported into itunes using the 'Fluke' software. I suspect this might be what's causing the problem - and I'm wondering whether that means the problems with Fluke itself. It's annoying that there isn't a quality music player on mac that handles .flac and I have to use these crappy converters.
    If anyone has an idea about how to solve this please pitch in, but I suspect this goes beyond the remit of these forums.
    och well.

  • ITunes 10.5.2 will not manually import artwork

    Manually adding artwork to iTunes has broken with this release apparently.  I am unable to add a 63kb image (JPEG or TIFF) to any song or selection of songs (album).  Clicking on the "Artwork" checkbox under <Get Info><Options> and either pasting or dragging and dropping the file does not work.  Also, I can no longer add artwork to an individual song, the "Artwork" tab is greyed out and not available.  There is no existing artwork for the songs or the album.
    I am completely frustrated by this as I wouldl like to add artwork that is not available on line (either in iTunes or in open source).
    Apple - over to you...

    please help me guys

  • How do I add a playlist to iTunes Match so that it'll appear on my Apple TV?  It was appeared on it before but ever since I added some CDs to the playlist, it won't show anymore.  Please help.

    How do I add a playlist to iTunes Match so that it'll appear on my Apple TV?  It was appeared on it before but ever since I added some CDs to the playlist, it won't show anymore.  Please help.

    When new content is added to a playlist it has to be updated for it to be available across devices. If it's content that isn't matched the playlist is removed from the cloud. Did you make sure to access store - update iTunes Match? It should do it automatically after a few minutes but the odd time I have to force it.
    Other than that may want to try reboot, log out/in.

  • Color profile won't stick.

    Since I installed a Matrox M9125 graphics card, colour profiles set in "Color Management" won't stick. The default "Device" for "Common Management" is "Display: Generic Non--PnP Monitor - Matrox M9125PCIe x16". When I select my actual monitor (NEC 2690) from the Device drop down list profiles appear - including one I have made using an Eye-One Display 2 - and I can set it as the default one. However, when I re-open "Color Management" the profile I just set is gone, the profile list is empty and the Device is back to the Generic PnP ...display etc.
    The profiles worked fine in my previous vga card (Nvidia) and stayed selected.

    Hi,
    I just want to sympathise with the China/Printer issue.
    Most of my artwork goes over there and I want to rip my hair out with every new job. Steve is right that we as artists really should go by the printer's specs, but when dealing with a language barrier, not to mention a 12 hour time difference it's so far been imposssible for me to do. I keep a Pantone color picker at my desk and manually enter in the CMYK values. It doesn't always work though.
    About your problem, the only thing I can think of is that you have images in your file that were RBG when placed in your file. It might not be what's going on, but something to check anyway.  
    Good luck,
    Cherie
