Problems putting artwork into iTunes 10

Hello all
Since last week I've not been able to apply artwork to any of my albums in itunes. I have itunes 10.4.080.
In the past everytime I put a new album onto itunes I then used 'get info' to complete the information, ie, album artist and genre. I used google images to find the artwork then pasted it into the cover section of 'get info'
Since last week though, everytime i try to paste in the artwork it just goes blank and leaves me with a plain black cover for my album. It does, however, let me paste into individual songs, but this can be very time consuming in big albums.
Is this a ****-up with the new itunes update and does anyone know how to fix it. I just want to be able to paste to a full album, not every single song.

Hello again
Actually I've just noticed that I can't add artwork at all using the paste function, whether it's as a full album or as individual tracks.
The only way I can now add artwork is by saving the image to file then browsing for it in 'get info' for each individual track. It won't let you browse for the saved image for the whole album. Real pain if you ask me!

  • Can't Drag Album Artwork into iTunes

    For some reason I can no longer drag album artwork into iTunes. If I click on a song or on a group of songs and there is no artwork available, I can no longer drag album art to the "Drag Album Artwork Here" in the bottom left corner. Same goes for when I right click and say "Get Info". It will show a little green plus sign as I drag the picture over the drop area but nothing happens.
    I'm running 10.4 and have made sure that I have read and write privledges to all of the specified folders.
    Anyone have any other ideas?

    Where are you dragging the images from? It might just be that particular site, if you're using the same location time and time again. I use Amazon music when looking for album art for iTunes and generally have good luck with it.
    Are you trying to drag artwork for songs that already have artwork associated with them? Sometimes you might want to clear the downloaded artwork for those tracks and then drag in the new image. I've run into this in cases where I've downloaded a single track from iTunes but then used something else to complete the album.
    Beyond those suggestions, you might want to try re-creating your iTunes Library, per the steps in this document. Note that some data may be lost, such as play counts and date added.

  • How can I download a song without automatically launching/putting it into iTunes?

    How can I download a song without automatically launching/putting it into iTunes? I download my royalty-free music from VideoBlocks and it automatically launches iTunes and plays the song in iTunes. I just want to save it to a location without going through iTunes. How do I do so?

    Open your web browser's preferences and set it not to automatically open safe files. If you're using Safari, this option is in the General tab.

  • Cannot install original artwork into iTunes

    Cannot install original artwork into iTunes.

    +So i recieved my comp back after the second motherboard replace (we won't get into that one),+
    That sounds like the noir household nightmare with our Gateway Vista box (we had to swap out/reinsert virtually everything else but the motherboard).
    +An error occurred during the installation of assembly ‘Microsoft.VC80.CRT,publicKeyToked=”1fc8b3b9a1e1833b”,type=”win32”,version8.0.5 0727.762”,processorArchitecture=”x86’”.Please refer to Help and Support for more information. HRESULT:0x80073712+
    Let's try getting an installer log to the Apple Engineers with that one.
    1. Open a command prompt window. (Start menu > All Programs > Accessories > Command Prompt.)
    2. Drag and drop iTunesSetup.exe onto the window so that the full pathname of the file is at the command line prompt.
    3. Type in a space, then the following line:
    /l*v C:\log.txt
    4. Hit return.
    5. The installer will create a log file:
    C:\log.txt
    Find that file and send it as an attachment to this email address: [email protected]
    in the email to Roy, be sure to include the following information:
    - A link to the thread on Apple Discussions where the issue is being discussed
    - The username you are using in the thread
    - The version of iTunes you are using or trying to use
    - the version of Windows you are using (mention service packs or specific flavor of Vista)

  • Problem with artwork in iTunes 7

    Since i got iTunes 7 a strange error started in my ipod video 60gb(fully updated):
    First, the ipod was not showing any artwork. Then i tried to uncheck the "display artwork" field, and press apply. Then check the field againd, and press apply again. It started to optimize my artwork, but by the middle of the process, this error happened: "The ipod "Flavio" cannot be updated. An unknown error occurred
    (-50).". I started searching in the internet what could this error be, and found that it is a communication problem, or something like that, but could be caused by bad (corrupted maybe) pictures, photos or artwork. I erased them all (even all the artwork) and tried the uncheck-check process again, and the same error happened. I read that it could be lack of space in my computer, but right now there are 6.6gb of free space in my c: (is it enough?) and the error still happens.
    Today i plugged my ipod on a computer with iTunes 6, tried the uncheck-check process again, and surprise, it worked! Unplugged the ipod, tried playing the only song with artwork remaining, and it worked too! So i came back home and tried again with itunes 7, but the error happened again, tried the song and the artwork wasn't showing again... Ok, so i tried with a laptop, itunes 6, and it worked perfectly again, then i thought "The problem can be happening just on my computer". Updated the laptop itunes, tried unchecking-checking again, and it seemed to work, no errors, but when i played the song on ipod, the artwork was gone again! Just like when the error happened... Tried again, no errors, no artwork, tried back on my computer, error, no artwork.
    2 itunes 6 -> worked, 2 itunes 7 -> problems. The only possible conclusion is that there is a bug in this new itunes, or a new way of dealing with artwork (by itunes, not by the users). Am i right? Or can anyone help me?
    I was thinking about restoring, but as i am adding everything by hand, nothing automatic, it could take a lot of time to choose everything again, and to make all the playlists again... And after seeing that this could be a bug, and could happen again, i decided to post everything here before restoring, to see if there is a better solution.
    Thank you for helping! (or at least for reading this huge post, and sorry for my bad english...)

    there is some problem with i tunes 7(the7.0.1 patch also) in that any artwork found by i tunes is visible whilst viewing tracks in your library if you transfer said tracks to your ipod then the artwork is not transferred,also it you use album artwork as your screensaver then artwork found by i tunes is not used. i can only think that something is not beeing written to the id tags of the tracks. any artwork found by yourself and dragged into the relevant box on the track or album information screen(called up by apple+i)is seen on itunes and by the screensaver. i have spoken to apple support and they assured me that they would get back to me as they had to investigate.that was a month ago. if the problem really bugs you then you can drag artwork found by itunes onto your desktop and then back into the tracks id screen. this remedys the problem but is tedious to say the least. hope this helps

  • HT1535 How do I put music into iTunes that is on my iPod touch? I have music on my iPod touch that is not in my iTunes library.  I do NOT want to loose these songs when I sync to iTunes.

    Recently I had to replace my computer with a new one. The old hard drive died and there was no way of retrieving any of my data from the dead computer. When I downloaded iTunes onto my new computer there were several songs missing in my iTunes library. I was able to retrieve most through purchased music, however there was some music that I had downloaded from other sources and that music is still on my iPod touch. How do I put music into my iTunes library that is on my iPod touch but not in the iTunes library? I do not want to loose the music on my iPod when I sync to iTunes library.

  • Putting Mpeg4 into Itunes.

    I ran a video through videora and converted it into the proper format. But, I am having problems getting the video into itunes and into my ipod video. I've tried dragging it and going to file add to library. And those didn't work, I am running the newest version of itunes. Help?

    What exactly do you mean by "...into the proper format"? Are you encoding in H.264 or MPEG-4? I have heard that alot of people are having trouble with H.264. What resolutions are you encoding in? It has been my experience that if you try to import a video that is outside what iTunes expects it just seems to ignore you. No error message or warning or anything. That sounds like what you may be suffering from.
    The iPod will support the following:
    H.264 video: up to 768 Kbps, 320 x 240, 30 frames per sec., Baseline Profile up to Level 1.3 with AAC-LC up to 160 Kbps, 48 Khz, stereo audio in .m4v, .mp4 and .mov file formats
    MPEG-4 video: up to 2.5 mbps, 480 x 480, 30 frames per sec., Simple Profile with AAC-LC up to 160 Kbps, 48 Khz, stereo audio in .m4v, .mp4 and .mov file formats

  • Can I drag album artwork into itunes 11?

    I've been playing around with itunes 11.  I used to be able to drag artwok into itunes from my desktop.  Is that feature available?

    You need to open the get info box for the item  and you can drag your artwork into the Artwork tab
    For multiple items there is a box lower right on the general page where you can drag the artwork to

  • Putting pictures into iTunes

    I need some help with this. I am trying to put a couple pictures of mine into itunes and then transfer it to my ipod.
    When I try and drag the photo into iTunes nothing appears. It doesn't work. I get a red circle with a cross in the middle indicating that it won't let me do it. The picture is in a .jpg format. What am i doing wrong?

    you can't physically drag into itunes.
    you have to have iphoto. or maybe theres is a windows app that will allow you to do it.
    but you have to go into ipod prefs and the photo selection and choose to download an album or something to your ipod.
    like I said I'm not particularly sure you can do this without iphoto.

  • Putting video into itunes

    How do you put movies or tv shows that you have downloaded from limewire, kazaa etc into itunes. Also, how do you convert video files into whatever format that the ipod reads.

    Hows about using Google or maybe I will educate you.
    Purchase Quicktime Pro 7 and it will do it for you.
    Just so you know, The new Video IPOD (Got mine today)
    is and never will be a replacement for products like
    the Archos AV 700 or similar units. It doesn't
    support DIVx, which is the easiest format to work
    with. Great Quality. I have done testing all day and
    I have come to realize that their MP4 video files,
    which of course are locked (and they want to keep it
    that way) were meant for the IPOD and iTunes.
    MP4 files (audio or video) are only locked if you purchase them from Apple. If you convert your own files to MP4, they will not be locked in any way.

  • Putting Playlists into Itunes

    Hi all-
    Can you put playslists from my ipod nano into itunes.  I switched computers (pc to a mac). 
    Thanks,
    Larry

    LOL Welcome to iTunes.
    No matter how many times I change details/album covers, there's always one or two that are wrong or don't sync.
    You could download a program to edit the metadata so that iTunes reads the info directly from the file instead of editing it in iTunes yourself.

  • Odd problem importing folders into iTunes

    I am trying to import all my music into itunes, and it is already organised into folders of mp3's.
    The problem is with compilation albums. Some seem to have an album created for every track, whilst others may have 3,4,5 or up to 8 tracks in one album, with the rest of the album tracks having their own 'album' in itunes.
    Obviously this makes it manic trying to play an album on the ipod classic 160 gig, or find certain tracks.
    I did try changing sort fields but that doesn't appear to have any affect at all.
    Does anyone know a way around this so that "Love songs" is just one album with 20 songs inside instead of 20 seperate albums each entitled from the song?

    See my previous post on Grouping Tracks Into Albums, in particular the topic One album, too many covers.

  • How to get Artwork into ITunes?

    What do I need to do to associate artwork in ITunes? I have all the cover art for each album in each album individual folder as a .jpg. I have tried dropping the .jpg on the album in ITunes... nothing. Whenever I go to Ad Artwork it wants me to setup some kind of account. I don't want to setup any account. I already have the artwork.

    In addition to the ways mentioned before, you can also select all tracks from an album, and press (mac) Apple + i / (windows) STRG + i ("Info"), which opens a separate window. If you've selected multiple tracks, the window title should read "information for multiple tracks" (or something to that effect), and there's a square at right-center of it, labelled "Cover". Drag your JPEG image into there. The checkbox besides it will be marked, to show that this "new setting" (i.e. new cover) will be embedded into the MP3 files.
    To remove album artwork, select multiple tracks, STRG-i, check "cover" with empty content.
    Unless you want to edit other information for all tracks, do not mark other fields.
    For single tracks, there's a multi-tab window with a separate tab labelled "Cover", which works the same way.
    Note: You can add multiple images to a MP3 file, but usually only the first one is displayed. (in iTunes, there'll be "flip buttons" in the cover view window)

  • I have my iMovies in QuickTime format on an external drive. Is there anyway to show them from the external drive without putting them into iTunes?

    I havei my personal iMovies in QuickTime format on an external drive. I prefer not to have to import them into my iTunes library which is nearly 1GB already. Is there any way to play them from my MacBook Pro through Apple TV 2 without importing them into iTunes?

    Just wanted to add a little to the excellent comments from those above... I have debated on adding the content to iTunes or just accessing the content through some folder structure.
    What has worked best for me and my family:
    use VideoDrive - http://www.aroona.net/VideoDrive/Home.html to import the videos/tvshows into iTunes and make them in the correct format for my iPad/iPhone/AppleTV devices in the house. This software is cheap and excellent and make the adding of content to iTunes (i everything) easy!
    I store my videos on a usb 2tb drive and my tvshows on a different usb 2tb drive. And I swap a drive out every year or so and give old drive away to family/friends. That way my media drives are new(ish) and 1 drive is never older than 2 years.
    for media that I don't want to add to iTunes I still use AirVideo as it is an excellent piece of software. I also use AirVideo to allow me to access content on my home network over the internet.
    my "media server" is a simple 4 year old intel mac mini with 1 gig of ram best $700 I spent when I first flipped to all things mac. Family now have 2 mbp's, 2 iPads, 4 iphones and 1atv (2nd gen)
    I'm working on a document that shows how I did my setup - if you want to read more please feel free to download my preview - https://files.me.com/lee.gaupp/aq0gst

  • Can't put music into itunes????

    I have spent the last few days inputting my old CD's into itunes. I pressed the import CD button at lower right and then they went into the 'music' folder.
    Now, when I click 'import CD' it seems to be inputting the music but when I click on the music folder afterwards I cannot find the music. At one stage I got an error message 1009 but I don't know what this is.
    Can anyone offer some suggestions?

    Not necessrily, you just need to find a 3rd party program to transfer content that is ripped or purchased outside of iTunes.
