Recovering album art for movies

I am having problems with the album art on itunes. The album art for my songs, tv shows, and movies, I can seem them in itunes. but when I load the files onto my ipod touch the album art gets screwed up. It takes frames from movies and substitutes them for album art for a song. anyway so I went to the apple store, and they told me to delete the album art and have itunes redownload it using the get album art thing in itunes. I went into the movie files and deleted the album art. and when I told itunes to get new album art, it did not fix the problem. now I can't see the album art in itunes anymore. I know it's not a big deal... but I really would like to fix it. any help would be appreciated.

Hi,
As a recommendation, check online to see if you can get an app that does that for you.

  • Set album art for movies?

    anyone know how to set or change the "album art" for movies in your itunes music library?

  • Music album art and movie chapter shot mixed up

    Hi I am new here.
    I just noticed that the album art for my music and the shots in the movie chapter got mixed up. more details:
    1) for the music, the album art are correct in the album view of iPod, and the blown up image when the music is playing. However, when I clicked the back arrow to get back to the main iPod screen, the album art in the lower left hand corner under "Now Playing" is messed up. it could be a) cover from another album 2) a question mark 3) a random shot in one of my movies (Monster Inc. if this is helpful...)
    2) in movies, when i click on chapters, the chapter image for some movies which I bought from itunes are messed up. they could be some random shots from other videos (not movies) that i transfered myself. However, some movies (e.g. Monster Inc.) do not have this problem.
    I didn't pay attention when this started to happen, but i am pretty sure at one point everything is alright... so... is there are way to fix this besides trying to delete everything and add again (I do not sync my library for music and movies, only pictures...)
    any advise would be much appreciated... and oh... i have the most updated version of the firmware...
    thanks much in advance

    I have the exact same issue, with videos that i own the electrionic version, including home videos.

  • Separate Album art for each episode.

    I have a video podcast that I set up and I'm trying to make separate album art for each episode- unfortunately I have no idea how to even go about this.
    I'm prepared to edit the xml file if I need to, as long as someone can walk me through it.
    thanks!

    hey all,
    I did some fooling around and I was able to get it. I didn't even need to do anything to the xml file.
    Here's how:
    I imported the movie into itunes BEFOREHAND and gave it album art (a jpg image). This metadata was saved and when I dragged the file from my itunes library over into iWeb, that metadata carried over, even when I tried subscribing to it as a video podcast, the picture I dragged into the artwork field was still there.
    Hooray!

    I updated my iPad 2 iOS to 6.1.2 and lost my album art for all my music , how can I get them back?

    Have you tried restarting or resetting your iPad?
    Restart: Press On/Off button until the Slide to Power Off slider appears, select Slide to Power Off and, after the iPad shuts down, then press the On/Off button until the Apple logo appears.
    Reset: Press the Home and On/Off buttons at the same time and hold them until the Apple logo appears (about 10 seconds). Ignore the "Slide to power off"

  • Automatic album art for music I already own? not happening

    The iTunes 7 description claims that it will automatically add album art for albums I've downloaded from my own CD collection, as long as the album exists on the iTunes music store. This is definitely NOT happening, which means a lot of albums display as blank. Has anyone successfully had album art added for music they didn't download from the music store? Any hints on making this happen? Thanks!

    Has anyone successfully had album art added for music they didn't download from the music store?
    Yes. I downloaded artwork for several ripped CDs.
    Any hints on making this happen?
    The Name, Artist and Album have to be spelled exactly as in the iTunes Store.
    It also seems to be case sensitive.
    Hope this helps.

  • No album art for uploaded cds

    I uploaded a couple of cds i bought, and i cant figure out how to get album art for those cds. Any one know how to fix this?

    Yeah, people from iTunes supported countries can easily download artwork, but if you are from a not supported country then get iTunes Art Importer, much easier then dragging covers into every song.

  • Why is it that Itunes can't find album art for "North" by Elvis Costello and others

    Why is it that from all the albums in my Library itunes can not find album art for:
    "North" by Elvis Costello
    "Viva la Vida" by Coldplay
    and "Old Yellow Moon" by Emmylou Harris and Rodney Crowel?

    Earl,
    For iTunes to find the art, it needs to match exactly on the Artist and Album Text.  Minor issues like spacing or punctuation can prevent the match, as can a misspelling like "Crowel" for Crowell."
    Look in the iTunes Store to get the exact text, fix the tags in the corresponding tracks, and then try again to "Get Album Artwork."
    If that still fails, just grab the correct art off the web, and paste it into the Artwork tab.

  • Can't get Album Art for CDs

    I ripped a bunch of CDs to Windows Media Player and it got the album art for all of them. Then later I installed iTunes and it automatically converted the songs over to it from WMP, but iTunes did not get the album art and it says that it is not available when I click on "Get Album Art." What do I do?

    Not a complete answer, but will get you most of the art work you need.
    Find the album on the Internet. I usually try Amazon.com, puretracks.com, or any site that will let you right click and save the art work shown. Use the "Save As" and save it as a "jpg" file. Make sure you put it in a location, and give it a name you can find.
    Open iTunes, find the album and right click on it. Click on "Get Info", go to the "Artwork" tab, and click on "Add". Brows to the location where you saved the artwork and add it.
    If you have more that one song in the same album you can add the same artwork to each song by right clicking on the artwork just imported and selecting copy. Go to the next song's artwork and right click and select past.
    Not the best, but after I find the album I can add the artwork to all the songs in an album in less that two minutes.
    It is taking a little work, but I am slowly overcoming the stupidity of the Apple programmers who wrote iTunes. It is a fairly good program, but it could be much better if Apple would make it easier for users to submit suggestions, and if they incorporated the popular suggestions. Unfortunately Apple has always had an arrogant attitude and they are not likely to change any time soon.

  • How do I Get Album Art for Some Tracks Only?

    I feel really stupid for asking this but I have tried to find out how to do it to no avail!
    I only want to get the album art for actual albums but whenever I click on "Get Album Artwork" it goes through my whole library!
    I have tried by highlighting the songs and then clicking get album artwork... did not work.
    I have tried only selecting the songs I wanted [using checkbox thingy] and then clicking get album artwork... did not work.
    I feel there is a really simple and obvious way to do this but cannot for the life of me figure out how.
    Regards,
    Michael

    HAHAHAHAHA!
    Thank you! I tried that and did not see it at all!

  • 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.

  • Any way to update album art for lots of Movies automatically?

    I have several hundred movies in mp4 format that have album art with the exact same filename except ends in .jpg instead of .mp4. I'd like to update the album art in these movies and figured out how to do it manually via iTunes. However, I'm looking for any way to do this easier than manually doing it one by one. Any good scripts or programs out there that can read a directory and insert the album art into the mp4 file?
    Thanks,
    Kevin

    Had this problem and think I have solved a work round although simple copy and paste we used to have would be so much better to have back - APPLE PLEASE NOTE! - sorry I think that deserves a shout.
    I regularly add cd's to my library which don't have artwork on itunes so I search and used to be able to copy the image and paste straight into itunes but not with itunes 11.
    Work around I have found is as follows.
    Locate Artwork, right click and "Add image to iPhoto library"
    Locate album in itunes.  Right click and "Get Info".
    Double click on the artwork frame and will open window showing your files. 
    Open photos and locate your saved artwork photo.
    Select and click open.
    Click OK on the Multiple Item information window and itunes will update the tracks on the album with the artwork.
    It worked for me so hope it does for you.

  • I am unable to optimize my album art for my iPod.

    When I attempted to optimize my album art in iTunes (by disabling album art and re-enabling it, used to make browsing within the iPod faster), it is always interrupeted by "the iPod cannot be updated. An unknown error occured. (-50)"
    Any ideas as to why?

    Normally artwork recovered with iTunes is stored as a separate artwork file and iTunes refers to that file to display artwork when you click on a track.  However, if you then copy the file to another player the artwork file is left behind and the track will not display the artwork on the other player.  To get around this it is possible to embed the artwork in the music file itself so it always travels with the file.  Artwork can be embedded by you or files from third party sources may arrive with embedded artwork.  iTunes apparently now won't replace artwork for such files.  You can accomplish this by completely deleting artwork for a file or set of files in Get Info, then getting iTunes to fetch artwork which will then be set as a reference file rather than being embedded.
    I use an old iTunes so unless you are using an ancient iTunes it won't help for me to give you great details.  To erase artwork I simply get info on a series of files and check the box next to the artwork box without adding any artwork and close.  To do it for  single file I Get Info, go to the artwork display tab and click delete.  Here's a Windows reference for a newer iTunes (but the "old Get Info" reference is for early iTunes 12 and no longer works with newer):I cannot delete embedded album artwork in iTunes 12

  • How to insert own "Album Graphics" for movies

    Hi,
    I have plenty of own movies which I transfered to itunes.
    Currently Itunes shows the first frame of the movie as the "movie cover art".
    But I would like to insert own pictures as cover art for each movie (like the picture of the CD-album in the music section of Itunes).
    I tried with copy-paste (copy a picture and paste it in the lower left corner of the Itunes window, when the desired movie was selected, but in the grid or cover flow view nothing has changed)
    Has anybody an idea if it is possible?

    Hello,
    "But I would like to insert own pictures as cover art for each movie (like the picture of the CD-album in the music section of Itunes)."
    I think the glitch lies in the format. Check out this link: http://www.ehow.com/how2098517make-itunes-artwork.html
    I use Apple's Preview to reformat image files. Open the image file using Preview. Then from the Menu Bar click File/Save As In the dialog box where it says: Format Click either JPG or PNG. Then copy and paste that into your iTunes/Get Info/Artwork window. The only problem with Preview is that it can't resize images and for iTunes artwork they need to be 300 x 300 pixels. If you have iPhoto, part of the iLife suite of software, you can resize the image in that first.
