New itunes removes my artwork!!!!!

I had manually gone through 8000+ songs and inserted album artwork. It worked great under iTunes 7. Once I upgraded to 7.01 it goes to play a song and it removes the artwork from every song in the album!!!! This is crap!! It took forever to update all the id3 tags. What gives? Are we forced to give you guys a credit card number and start an iTunes store account to keep my artwork?

Similar situation. All the artwork I loaded from the previous version of iTunes, still displays on my iPod. However, anything I add since I updated to 7.0.1 does NOT. It will show up in iTunes... but not my iPod (and yes... I've already selected "display artwork" in the iPod settings).

I have movie artwork appearing for TV shows, album artwork for movies, and movie and TV show artwork for albums. Not sure what is going on here.

IPod Classic album artwork gone in new iTunes display board as of 1 Dec 2012

Now that I installed the new iTunes software and connect my iPod Classic the album artwork display in the bottom left corner has disappeared! There are other new features on this new iTunes layout that annoy me!
Apple...please go back to your previous iTunes layout and get my album artwork back.
My iPod is fine, there is nothing wrong with my iPod, just iTunes and their ridiculous change! I uninstalled and re-installed iTunes to no avail.
And NO, I DO NOT use the apple iTunes store for anything, just use iTunes to connect to my iPod Classic, that's all, nothing further!
So don't go trying to sell me something on the iTunes store! NOT INTERESTED!
Why do you people tend to make things more difficult after I finally figured out your last iTunes layout?!
Simple guy non-computer geek here, just your average all-American Joe!
Can someone out there assist? Any way I can return to the previous version? This new version bites! Thanks much!

*Why is artwork not showing on my iPod when it's there in iTunes?*
iTunes will display a cover in many of it's views provided at least one track from the album has embedded artwork. The iPod appears to load only the artwork from track one to create the cover flow and album views which means that it can sometimes fail to display art for albums even when you can see the art in iTunes. Further, when tracks are played on the iPod, artwork is displayed if and only if it exists in the currently playing track, so track one may show art while track two does not.
*How to find tracks without artwork*
To find all the tracks without artwork so that you can update them you can try http://www.stum.de/itunes-find-tracks-without-artwork/ for Windows or http://dougscripts.com/itunes/scripts/ss.php?sp=trackswithoutartwork for Macs. Use Google, Amazon, Discogs etc. to locate relevant images. Ideally these should be square, 320x320 pixels or above and borderless to give the best results in the various menus. If you have artwork for some tracks of an album, but not others, find the album in the main music folder, select a track with artwork, right-click (Option-Click for Macs) on the art & click copy, then select all the tracks of the album, use CTRL-I or Command-I to *Get Info* and then paste the image into the artwork box.
I say 320x320 because I believe (from using TouchCopy) that it's the size used in the iPod cache so if you're going to crop or resize you might as well work to that size. Otherwise 200x200 is probably good enough. iTunes store art seems to be generally 600x600.
*Rebuild artwork cache*
Sometimes the artwork cache becomes corrupt and fails to show correct artwork, even when this is properly set up in iTunes. To rebuild the artwork cache, connect your iPod to iTunes. Locate the iPod in the Sources pane on the left-hand side, then select the Music tab. Remove the tick from *Display album artwork on your iPod*, sync the iPod, reselect the option & sync again.

How do you change the artwork in the new itunes? it won't let me delete it

how do you change the album artwork in the new iTunes? it won't let me delete the old artwork even when I highlight it

The new iTunes 12 Get Info dialog lacks right-click context menus (at least for now) but it still accepts most standard keyboard shortcuts and drag & drop actions.
Delete Artwork
On the artwork tab of Get Into, tap the image in question, use Backspace or Ctrl+X. Delete doesn't work.
Or, tap the image at the top left of Get Info, this time use Backspace or Delete, it is Ctrl+X that doesn't work.
Add Artwork
Select artwork, press Ctrl+C to copy, tap the centre of the Artwork tab, press Ctrl+V to paste.
Or, select artwork, press Ctrl+C to copy, tap the small image area at the top left, press Ctrl+V to paste.
Or, you can drag & drop to, or sometimes from, the same locations.
You can also copy artwork from the Get Info dialog to Windows Explorer with the keyboard shortcuts.
If the source image is on a web page right-click and use Copy Image rather than copy. (With Chrome I get a one pixel wraparound so tend to go for a temporary local copy anyway - not sure whose bug this is, but it isn't new.)
If you have multiple images embedded drag the one you want to be the primary artwork to the leftmost position.
Replace/Remove All Artwork
The top left image box can be used to add or delete art from multiple tracks. In either case all existing artwork in all tracks is replaced/removed.
Old Style Get Info Dialog
Select some items, right-click, hold down shift, then click Get Info from the context menu. (Use alt/option on a Mac)

How to delete artwork in the new iTunes?

With the new iTunes having been installed a night or two ago, I cannot seem to easily manage the album artwork of my songs anymore.
When I hit "Get Info" and go to the "Artwork" tab, the only way to add art is by clicking "Add Artwork" and manually searching for it in my drives. I no longer can simply copy and paste. I also cannot even do anything with the currently existing artwork; right clicking it does literally nothing. Highlighting and hitting "delete" on the keyboard also does nothing. So, granted these new extremely limited options (again, I can literally only "Add Artwork"), how does one go about deleting already-existing artwork?
In most cases, adding artwork did seem to automatically delete any previously existing one, which is exactly what I needed. But for a couple of cases, adding artwork only added the image to the "Art Gallery" instead of actually overlapping the old art, and there is zero option to delete either of the two similar images. Any insight?

Itunes randomly removing my artwork

This is so **** annoying. My itunes continually wants to randomly remove artwork from my albums...artwork that I have manually located and added myself as well as established itunes store-friendly artwork that the software has located and added for me. It is so random and so frustrating. It happens after a sync, after a software update, after adding new albums to my library. Again, at random. I am an extremely meticulous person and this software program continually fails to meet my organizational standards for data, info. It literally drives me nuts. This is the most frustrating issue of all the issues I seem to have with itunes...cuz it happens so often and is so random. Anyone experience similar problem? Anyone have a solution?
I have have zero solutions after doing a simple Google search for the issue.
In the meantime, I will go back to fixing, re-locating, re-adding, re-doing the artwork on my itunes.

Looking more at this bug, it seems to only happen on tracks that I select in iTunes, as I select them. I can literally cause this problem consistently by just going through my library and selecting tracks. Songs with album after before selecting them have the artwork removed immediately after selecting them.

Can't figure out how to remove select music from my iPhone 4 with the new iTunes

My old PC with all my music on iTunes died, and I need to remove some music from my iPhone 4 to make room for the new OS update. I downloaded iTunes on a different computer and tried to sync the iPhone to it, to move all the music on my iPhone to iTunes so I could deselect what songs I wanted to remove to make the storage space. I can't figure out how to do this with the new (non-user-friendly) iTunes update. When I sync the phone, the only songs that show up are the ones I have purchased on iTunes, but non of the songs/albums that I transfered from CDs. I don't want to reset my phone to delete ALL my music, just select songs/albums. Can anyone please help me figure out the new iTunes to be able to do this? It is driving me nuts and I'm getting really mad at Apple for their constant updates making things less easy to use!

i have the same problem, if u find it out please let me know :C i can erase or put new songs from my pc to itunes u.u

Please fix!

New iTunes 10 removed my recent apps purchased on ipad! what's with that?!

Isn't new iTunes 10 supposed to be smarter? I recently purchased about 10 to 20 apps on ipad, they have been removed during the sync after I upgraded iTunes 10. I know I can just list the apps I had and download them for free, but I don't remember each of those app names. I have to go back to my purchase history and search if app is in ipad, then re-download it if it's removed. I happen to purchase lots of music too! That's lots of work! jesus! This is really silly! Why is iTunes 10 doing that?

It did not work. The apps i purchased on ipad, has been removed by itunes during the sync. So I do not have these apps on my mac, and they are not on the ipad app sync list!
By the way, I did more than ONE syncs, itunes removes a few of apps from ipad each time, not all by once together. After the 2nd last sync, my music library was empty on ipad, even I have checked to sync entire music library on iTunes. and the last sync, I got my music back to ipad. I have thousands of songs, so I have no idea which ones are gone or they are all synced. The sync is not stable, and I have no idea what's it's doing. I do not have the energy to figure out exactly which songs or apps has been removed from ipad or my mac each time after sync. This is frustrating and disappointing. I have been using itunes for years, I would never expect such things from itunes.

Does anyone know how to remove duplicates in the new iTunes?, Does anyone know how to remove duplicates in the new iTunes?

I just got a new laptop (Windows) and downloaded the new iTunes on it. It scanned my computer for music, and after it was done there were up to 5 copies of each song in the library. The "old" itunes used to have an option to remove duplicates but I cannot find a way to do that in the new iTunes. Anyone know?

The show duplicates/show exact duplicates features have been left out of iTunes 11. Rumor suggests they will be restored in the next build. In the meantime I have written two Windows scripts to make playlists of Duplicates and Exact Duplicates, either from a selection of tracks or the entire library.
If you want to manually remove duplicate tracks use shift-delete to remove selected tracks from the library as well as the playlist. Keep one of each repeated group of files and don't send to the recycle bin unless you are sure that there are multiple files on the disc as opposed to multiple entries to the same file.
There is also my DeDuper script if you don't want to do it by hand. This can preserve ratings, play counts, playlist membership, etc. which are lost in a manual clean up. Please take note of the warning to backup your library before deduping. See this thread for background on deduping and the script.

New iTunes "wish" list function Removed

I'm hoping somone might be able to offer a suggestion to help get my workflow back since the new iTunes 11 release has removed my most useful feature.
I am a DJ and spend a good 6-8 hours a week creating playlist, partly managing the music I own and partly locating songs in the itunes store. What I used to do: If I didn't own a song, I'd locate it in the itunes store, drag it into a general playlist where I could move it around (unpurchased) to other playlists and when I was done I could go through my playlist and purchase the songs that I wanted to. Many people never knew this was possible. This streamlined the process and allowed me to give the boot to songs that I didn't think were worth the purchase (when purchasing 20-40 songs a week, every $1.29 counts!) I learned of this function from apple years ago... They didn't promote it much, but it was a function they built in to allow people to do just what I did... create a list and then purchase the songs.
The new itunes does not seem to support creating these "wish lists" on my desktop... I know about the wishlist feature that is store based. The problem is that I only have the ability to have ONE wishlist... when I need at least three to keep my music organized for my upcoming events. I still have the older version installed on my main computer, but I know I'm going to have to make the leap soon and know the loss of this functionality is going to be extremely stiffling to my productivity.
Any assistance, tricks, ideas, etc would be welcome and appreciated!!

I figured out a workaround and posted it in this thread - https://discussions.apple.com/message/20751126#20751126
It is kind of a hassle, but at least you can still put songs in your own wishlists.

HT2905 Does anyone know how to find and remove duplicate items in the new itunes 11?

As Jim said View > Show Duplicates
or
Option + View > Show Exact Duplicates

Transferring albumn artwork/song ratings etc to new itunes install

I have windows XP installed on one HD and Vista installed on another HD on the same PC. I have spent a lot of time getting the album artwork, rating the songs etc on the XP iTunes install. I recently upgraded my ram and can now use Vista w/o Lag and I want to find a way to transfer all the settings to my new iTunes install on Vista.
All the music is stored locally on a 3rd HD on my pc so I don't need help transferring my library (I saw a LOT of posts about that topic, so I'm just being clear that I don't need help with that).
Also my iPhone is synched with the iTunes/XP and I don't want it to erase everything off the phone if I synch it with the Vista/iTunes.. I have authorized the new iTunes.. just wondering if that is good enough or if there's anything else I need to do to ensure I can synch to both versions of iTunes w/o a problem.

You need to put your iPod in automatic sync mode and they will transfer automatically.
You can't do it if you are in manual update mode.
