Movie album art - iTunes 11.0.5 (5)

I just updated iTunes to 11.0.5(5) now when i try to add album art to my movies iTunes crashes. Anyone experiencing this problem or have any suggestions on a fix? Before I updated I have added album art dozens of times with no issue using same process.
Thanks!

Following a posting from nyboy_x5 to a different problem, I opened my Norton Internet Security.
I went to Settings > Network> Smart Firewall > Program Rules: Configure > and then Scrolled to iTunes
and found the setting as "Auto".
I changed the setting to "Allow", then clicked "Apply" and now it works!

Movie "Album Art" showing in iTunes but on on Apple TV

I'm backing up my collection of DVDs onto my computer's hard drive so that I can have the library at the click of my Apple TV. The Apple TV is the brand new version. I added a bunch of movie covers via the Get Info > Artwork option and they are all showing up properly in iTunes.
However, when I power up my Apple TV, its not showing up. Its showing like the first frame of the movie instead. Any idea how to remedy this? I rebooted both my computer and the AppleTV, left them off overnight, etc. Nothing seems to work.

I gave that a shot but it didnt seem to do anything. Funny thing is I added a movie tonight along w/ the album art, etc. Same process I did as the others. The one I added tonight works fine but the ones from a few days ago dont.
Not the end of the world, but I guess I like things to work and be uniform. If anyone else has encountered this let me know.

Movie album art

I'm new to this putting movies on iTunes and after backing up 15 movies with HandBrake I noticed a few of them will not accept album art.
Splat-I, "The "ARTWORK" tab in dim
Anyone have ay reason why?

i doesn't look like anyone has an idea about this
I have a theory tho: I have 3 machines. Powerbook, Mini 1 and Mini 2. Mini 1 is unable to "move" files to any connected drives. probably because it's unable to read how much space is available.
*the "xx.xx GB available" appearing at the bottom of every finder window is missing and only "xx items" remains*
anyway this other discs backed up on the two other machine are fine. Seems like I may nee to reload the OS?

Album Art iTunes 11

In the latest crappy version of itunes 11.0 how do you get it to show album art. Better yet Cover Flow.

If you are in Album view and click Song view, you can view all the information you wish. It is an extra click but innovation seems to be that way these days.

Shared Album Art - iTunes 7

I have disabled iTunes from getting album art due to the issues it was having with Greatest Hits and replacing art that had already been collected (due to no album art before, now it wants to take over).
My question is with shared music. We have a PC in another location and share iTunes via the share preference. Prior to the upgrade, we were able to see the ablum art from the main PC or file location that was associated with the music file (i.e. the art I collected for each album). Now it shows Artwork not modifiable" on the shared music. Not a biggy as we can still listen to music, but an annoyance none the less.
All this time wishing for auto art and now I wish I did not select iTunes to get "missiing" when upgraded. More fool me...

How do I disable detached Album Art window in iTunes 10?

Hello,
In iTunes 9, whenever playing any music with album art, iTunes would not attempt to detach a separate window.
However, new in iTunes 10, every time I play a song that has album artwork, iTunes will automatically detach a small separate popup window that is supposed to show the album artwork for that song (I say "supposed', because the album artwork never shows up in this window; it's always just pitch black), as well as playback controls when you mouse over that detached window.
Also, whenever you try to close this album artwork popup window, song playback also stops! So one is forced to keep it open the entire time iTunes is playing music that happens to have album artwork.
I would like to remove this detached popup window and never have it show up, as it increases clutter with an extra window on my desktop, and most importantly, I did not instruct iTunes to open a separate window in the first place.
I searched iTunes preferences exhaustively and could not find an option to disable this album artwork popup window.
Is there a defaults write com.apple.iTunes command that can disable it? Or some other way to get iTunes to stop always automatically displaying this separate album artwork popup window? (And NO, I don't want to just minimize it).
Thank you.

Do you mean iTunes 10 or 11?
I'm pretty sure this is controlled by the import settings for CDs. Go to "preferences->general",
and click "Import settings" next to the CD line. You can select MP3 or AAC there.

Can I force iTunes not to embed custom album art, but store it separately?

(I only use iTunes to manage my 16GB iPod nano 5th gen and update my mother's iPad.)
Now as far as I am aware, when iTunes downloads album art, it stores it separately from the audio files, and thus several tracks share the same image file for their artwork. This seems economical to me, considering the space limitations that most Apple devices have.
But if you set your custom album art, iTunes embeds it into the audio files themselves, so each has a copy of the artwork, and thus the total size of artwork increases about tenfold. Now this is okay when storing the audio files on personal computers, but is quite stupid for devices with limited storage capacities. It really depends on the size of the artwork and the bitrate your audio is encoded to, but I calculated I could put an extra 300MB of music onto my iPod if I could just somehow force iTunes to store my custom album art separately, not embed it into the audio files by default.
Does anybody have an answer/solution to this problem, or do I have to look beyond iTunes to do this?
Thanks!
(Note that I do not wish to use the iTunes download artwork service, as it is quite unreliable and the artwork is of low quality.)

ITunes, Samba, Network.. wont allow manual album art updates argh!

Hello,
I have all my music in mp3 format on my linux server, which runs glftpd + scripts that catalogue the mp3 upon upload into genres/year/artist to make for easier finding of songs. I then use samba to access the shares within the glftpd directory structure, e.g.; /glftpd/site/mp3/albums.. I have added this share into windows as a mapped drive (M:\). The problem is this, whilst I can add the folder/drive into iTunes, i cant manually update the album art. iTunes does find some are for the albums, but I have a different source which I want to use to update the art. I also noticed that its not just the art I cant edit, its the track info. This i expected becuase the tracks reside on a network share which glftpd has probably locked permissions on, however the album art i cant understand becuase the library resides on my windows pc.
Any ideas ?

I answered on your other post....
+the album art i cant understand becuase the library resides on my windows pc.+
If you want to edit a track's artwork, it's like editing track info - the permissions are locked.
The iTunes downloaded art is in separate folders, not the ID3 tags in the actual mp3 files.
on XP the path is
C:\Documents and Settings\ username \My Documents\My Music\iTunes\Album Artwork

How can I reset all my song data - genre, year, album art etc. from CDDB?

Like most people I've built up my music collection over quite a few years.
In the old days, album info often couldn't be found online, and I had to input data manually.
Also, new fields have appeared in the CDDB since I imported some older tracks.
This means that a lot of my songs have data missing in fields, poor quality album art, or inconsistent genres etc.
Is there anyway to strip out this information and get iTunes to go back to the CDDB and download the info (for tracks already in the library) afresh?
The obvious way, selecting an album and choosing "get CD track names" doesn't seem to work if there is already data there, even if it's manually entered and incorrect.
Also, if you try and get new album art, iTunes won't replace art manually associated with the files (i.e. that I added myself from a low-res image 5 years ago).
This must be a fairly common issue - can anyone help to solve it?
Obviously the more global the solution the better - i.e. a way to do it to multiple albums, rather than one track at a time!
Many thanks in advance
T.

I have bad news for you...I tried doing the same thing a while back and couldn't find any easy way. Eventually, I had to strip the mp3 tags from the songs and (using a third party mp3 tag editor) had software that automatically looked them up on the net and put the info back in. Then, I had to get the album artwork in iTunes. Quit a pain! I did it one album at a time. Good luck!

How to resize album art pictures in Albums view mode?

How can i resize album art pictures in Albums view mode?
iTunes on my old PowerMac G5: there is a slider to resize album arts.
iTunes on my Win7 PC: where is the slider to resize album arts???

In the Grid view, *View > Grid View > Show Header* should expose the header. In the List view it's contolled by the size of the artwork column.

Will ID3 enable Album Art ?

I recently added some of my Iron Maiden songs to the library, and each carriers its genuine album artwork when i play the file on the windows media player. Would converting the files to ID3 tag enable the album art to show when it plays on my ipod? If not please advice on steps i should take in order to accomplish this. Thanks

Your songs already have an id3 tag.
The only issue is the difference in how iTunes and WMP carry the album art.
iTunes includes the art in the id3 tag, WMP puts it in the folder. Which means that if you go to the folder that these songs are sitting in, you'll find the art. Then just drag it into iTunes' 'art box.'

Problems displaying SOME album art for Home Movies in iTunes 11.1.4

I have a number of home videos in my iTunes 11.1.4 library on my Mac. I have manually added album art to each video, but only about half the movies actually show the album art when viewing the movies from the Home Videos tab in iTunes. The other half of the movies just show a frame of the movie. I double checked Get Info for the movies that aren't displayed the album art and confirmed that the album art is listed. All the album art I uploaded is of the same size and file type. Not sure why half the art displays and half doesn't. Anyone else see this before? I'm puzzled.
Thanks

I don't know if you got your answer this this post is from about 3 months ago. I've also been having the same issue.
On my end, I've been keeping all of my movie files on an external drive and just as your situation, only some of them appear and some of them are missing. I don't know if it's as a result of having them on an external drive and anytime I launch iTunes, it's not always plugged in. I'd have to do a bit more testing on that.
I did notice that as soon as I select the "Get Info" on a movie file with missing artwork and confirm that it's there in the metadata by just clicking "ok", it appears automatically in the iTunes window. Seems like a quick and easy solution for now, but not so if you have 300+ movies and you have to do the step for every other one.
If you figured out a solution for this or what worked for you, I'd be glad to hear it.

"Album art" of Movies in iTunes library

I would like to make use of the iTunes movie library to catalogue all my DVD's. So far I have made QT movies of the trailers/intros and then added them to the library. So that each movie icon will show the "Album art" I have added this to the beginning of each QT movie as a 5 second clip and assigned the poster frame at the beginning of this.
When I add these movies to my library the icon that is displayed shows a frame in the movie some way past the poster frame and generally in the actual trailer rather than the bit I created.
Any help understanding this and solving it would be appreciated.
Nick.

iTunes will normally set the Poster frame at 10 seconds in... I don't know why it doesn't seem to use the Poster frame set in QT, but you have a choice of leaving the poster/album art up for more than 10s when you do the file in QT, or you can set the Poster frame in iTunes (while the movie is playing, Ctrl-click it)

Sometimes when I move music from my iTunes library to my iPod I get incorrect album art. Any known causes/fixes?

Sometimes when I move music (typically an album) from iTunes to my iPod I get incorrect album artwork on the iPod. Is this a known issue with the iPod classic and are there any fixes other than a complete restore and sync of the iPod?

You can manually manage or you can sync by playlist/artist/album/genre/checked songs.
Maybe you should read the manual:
