Re: Deleting Album Artwork

I have some albums that I can not get album artwork for. All the Beatles albums, for example. So, I thought I would drag album images off of Amazon into iTunes. Of course, I did not realize that I was only adding the image to one song at a time. The first image was too small, the second one only went to the second song.
How do I delete these images?
And how do I add artwork so that it will cover all songs in a given lbum?

Right click (control+click if using a one button mouse) on the file you want to remove the artwork from, choose Get Info then the Artwork tab, click on the image and press the delete button then OK.
To add artwork to multiple items at once without having to do them one at a time (e.g. all the songs in an album) highlight your selection (click on the first track in your list, hold down the shift key and click on the last). Right click anywhere in the selection and choose Get Info, when you are asked if you want to edit multiple items say yes. Drag your artwork to the small artwork box down on the right and choose OK

How to delete album artwork from itunes?

i have tried the clear downloaded artwork, but this didn't work. is there any other way that i can delete album artwork from itunes? i am assuming the artwork is embedded in the files, since the clear downloaded artwork didn't work.

I think this might have been answered before, but this is what I know.
One way I'm aware of to clear artwork is to do a properties of any album you want to clear the artwork from, go to artwork, select the artwork and delete it.
Iirc, iTunes holds the artwork in it's database and not physically with the audio file. I normally use "Mp3tag" to add my artwork to albums so the artwork is embedded in the audio files, I tend to steer clear of adding artwork in iTunes itself. Just be weary when adding images to the audio files themselves: The audio files will increase in size of the image itself, I think that's why iTunes doesn't physically add it to the files.

Deleting album artwork from Itunes 6 after upgrading to Itunes 7

I recently upgraded to Itunes 7, and I want to delete some of my album artwork that I added in Itunes 6. I backed up my entire library and imported it into Itunes 7 after I installed it. Some of my album artwork consists or low-res clipart, and I want to update my entire library with new album artwork. When I choose "get album artwork", Itunes doesn't update my music with the new artwork. I also tried the "get info" submenu, and there isn't any artwork listed in the window, though it shows the artwork in the album srcolling window. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

This info is included in the song tag, you have to edit the individual song tag to change the artwork. To do this, right click on the song with bad artwork, then choose the first option "get info". A box will open, click on the artwork tab (you may have several pieces or artwork here--delete the ones you don't like. It's possible the good art you want will be one of the choices. Make sure this appears first in the list and then you'll see it in iTunes. If you need to add the artwork, click the add button and browse/find the artwork you want to add.
Hope this helps!

How do I delete album artwork that came w/ a brand new ipod =no music on it

I recently purchased a new ipod Classic (80 gig) at a nationwide electronics store. The first time I turned it on it had an album cover of Manu Chao on the Main Menu. There is no music on the ipod yet the album cover is there. The store's corporate office says that they sell returned ipods as new ones. I am guessing that since there is no music on the ipod there is no way to delete this album cover through iTunes. It appears to be deeply embedded in another file or ID3 Tag ... I don't understand much at all about where to start. If anyone has encountered this problem or if anyone knows how to find where the image is stored (which file) and remove it, please let me know. You all are great! Thanks!

Hi, rebuilding your iPod's artwork cache should sort this out...
*Rebuilding Artwork Cache*
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.
You are probably best making a samll single album playlist to do a trial sync with. That way it should be easy to tell if the unwanted artwork has been removed. If that still doesn't work then do a full restore.

Since the update, I cannot delete album artwork!

How do I delete album art off of my Itunes ablums. It's for a Sony Vaio using windows 7.

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)

Delete Album Artwork

How do i delete the album artwork in finder, I already deleted the artwork itunes, but I can't figure out how to make it go away in the finder folder. I just want to see the name of the file and the black Mp3 symbol.
Thanks

select all of your music in iTunes.
Press command+i
Check the box for artwork and leave the artwork field blank
click "ok"
That should remove all of the artwork (It may take a little time to complete depending on the size of your library)

Is there a way to delete album artwork in iTunes to save space?

I've only 120 gigs in my MacAir and album art for iTunes takes up too much space. I've deleted the artwork but it just comes up again when I call up iTunes. Thanks for any suggestions.

Don't know what version of OS you're using, but in Mavericks Finder/Music/Artwork/Cache will show you that each cover uses the 960 or so kilobytes I refer to. If you delete the Cache and don't delete the artwork as above, iTunes just puts it all back when you call it up again. Right now, after following the above instructions, I still have a new Cache, except it's empty. As for each picture/song, I had to delete each song's picture, as instructed above, and I've downloaded individual songs that have come with artwork, so it's hardly a matter of 30 or 40 kbs.

Itunes 7.1 deletes album artwork

I've upgraded to itunes 7.1 but it is having a problem keeping the album artwork saved. I've pasted artwork into itunes for all my albums and up until yesterday everything was fine, then I added another couple of albums and associated artwork but then found that artwork for a few other albums had been removed by itunes. I've tried to copy it all back into itunes but then other artwork disappeared. It's almost like ITunes wil not except any more artwork. All artwork is copied from google images. Has anybody had this problem?
sexy with big tits Windows XP

Yes, I have the exact same problem. I copy and paste album artwork from a website and a week later it's disappeared from itunes. I have over 17,000 songs and it's taken me an age to get the artwork in now only for it to disappear on me. Very frustrating. Hopefully someone reading this may be able to help.

How to delete album artwork?

I've been having this problem for awhile and I want to correct it. On alot of my songs I have more than 1 artwork and I want to know how can I get rid of them...

I know of no automatic way to mass delete selected songs' artwork.
The best you can do is to batch them all in a Playlist, select the first one, right-click, 'Get Info', then select the 'Artwork' tab.
Delete one or all the pictures, then click 'next' within the 'Get Info' dialog box. That will allow you to quickly move to the next song, with remaining 'Artwork' tab remaining immediately available.

I cannot delete embedded album artwork in iTunes 12

I cannot delete embedded album artwork in iTunes 12. I download music from a service that sometimes has album artwork embedded, and I usually just delete it. Then I add the artwork from iTunes with the "get album artwork" command. But it only works if you can delete the embedded artwork first...and in iTunes 12, so far, I cannot. So I am stuck with the artwork that came with the files...and it's not always good. (Sometimes, it's even silly ads!)
In iTunes 11 and prior versions, I would highlight the songs in the album, right-click then choose "get info," choose the "details" tab, and put a checkmark next to the empty album art box for all songs. That would delete the embedded album artwork. You could also paste an image into the little box and it would apply to all the songs that had no artwork, to be sure they were all the same. Alternatively, I could also highlight the songs in the album, right-click then choose "get info," choose the "artwork" tab, and delete, cut or paste artwork right into the larger pane.
Without the ability to delete embedded artwork, I cannot maintain my library the way I'd like to. I even prefer the full album artwork to a "single" artwork, and so I even change the free iTunes downloads singles to the main album artwork.
Please help. Does anyone know how to delete album artwork in iTunes 12? I have a huge library and I want to continue to maintain it with the correct album artwork.

Deleting album covers

Hi all--
In a previous version of iTunes, or maybe the iPod nano system, there was some way to delete album artwork off of the iPod. Since I only use my nano in my car, I did this to free up more space for songs. I just restored my iPod to factory settings, however, and now I can't find that setting -- I was just wondering if anybody could help me out.
Thanks!

Hello ztreu,
And welcome to Apple Discussions!
The option you are looking for has no longer been available since the release of iTunes 9.0. This means that the only way to not have album artwork sync to your iPod is to delete all the album artwork from your iTunes library.
You can do this in one fell swoop. Just highlight all the tracks in your library, right-> click anywhere on the highlighted area and choose "Get Info" from the Shortcut menu. Then under the Info tab, remove the check mark next to "Artwork."
