Set specific image as Album Cover

Is it possible to designate which image is used as the top image of an album?
And, how would I do it?

By top image do you mean the key image of an Event? Control+click on the photo and select "Make Key Photo" from the contextual menu. Or you can drag the photo to the event icon replacing the current photo.

Embedding "album cover" image in a video podcast file

I've created a video podcast and successfully submitted it to ITMS. The issue is that the individual episodes of my video podcast do not have cover art images associated with them. Instead, when I test subscribed to my video podcast, it generated an "album cover" for the podcast in a seemingly random fashion. For the first episode, it grabbed a still frame from second 6 of the .m4v file. and for the second episode, it grabbed a still frame from second 11 of the .m4v file.
So, I thought I would go into the .m4v file via QTPro and create an image metadata association like is done with ID3 tags in .mp3 files. However, I cannot find a away to do that.
Does anyone know how to embed an "album cover" image into a video podcast file (.m4v file)?
If I add an image to the file via iTunes Get Info>Art Work tab and then export it back to my server, will the added image stay embedded in the .m4v file so that when others subscribe to my video podcast they will see my selected "album" artwork for that episode?

Super Mario:
You were correct. Adding album artwork through iTunes "Get Info>Art Work" tab and then exporting my video podcast file back out to my server did the trick. I tested subscribing to it and this time my video podcasts had the album artwork that I selected attached to them.
Also, thank you for the compliment on my sci-fi video podcasts. I'm currently working on a major overhaul of the website which will serve the fans of the series (if any). You can check it out in about two days at http://www.sayremedia.com.

Album cover image missing in Itunes

Itunes added most of the album covers I have in my music library but some are still missing I have gone to google.com and clicked on images then searched for album cover images, chose a cover and saved to my desktop, but the image will not paste. What am I doing incorrectly? I have recently upgraded to I'11

Thank you, I found the answer on "More like this..." The step I was missing was clicking on file, then get info...I was able to paste my image.

Using Smart Album to Set Desktop Images

Aperture 3.2.1 and OS X 10.7.2
I'm trying to set my desktop picture to rotate through an Aperture Smart Album. Not that it should matter, but the Smart Album is basic -- one star or better, Stack Picks Only. That Smart Album is easy to set up in Aperture and there it works as expected. But in the Screen Saver & Desktop module in System Preferences, upon choosing that same album, the browser shows all of the versions in each stack, whether they're the pick or not. In Aperture, of course, I only get the Pick because I have that option enabled.
Any thoughts on why this is happening?

Smart albums containing images from stacks behave differently when used to create a product (Media browser, MobileMe Gallery, SlideShow, PhotoBook).
The common effect seems to be that the option "stack picks only" determines how the album is viewed in Aperture, but not, what will be included, when you use images that are part of a stack for a product. With Photo Books, Slideshows, and Galleries you will only get the Stack picks included, regardless of the "stack picks only" setting. Only the Media Browser seems to respect the option "stack picks only". when this option is not set, all images in the stacks will be used on the Desktop or in the screensaver, when it is set, only the stackpicks will show.
But in the Screen Saver & Desktop module in System Preferences, upon choosing that same album, the browser shows all of the versions in each stack, whether they're the pick or not.
That behaviour I cannot confirm. I defined several smart albums with stacks, and only the stack picks did show up in the Deskstop and Screensaver preferences, also in the Media Browser in Pages and iWeb, when the option"stack picks only" was set. But I was careful to quit both Aperture and "System Preferences", before changing the Screensaver settings.

Problem with Album cover images...

It doesn't happon to every album, but for some reasion, ill notice that the image for an album will be gone, blank.
The B** is, i cant always find the picture again, or one with good quality. All i do to add the picture to the song/album is click on the *Album Artwork* box on the bottom left corner and past. (Or if its a group of songs, highlight them, and add it in the *Multiple Item Information*, Artwork box.

easiest way to do it is to go to album view in iTunes and right click the empty album cover and select 'get album artwork' - but you may have to log into iTunes.
Otherwise google the album on wikipedia, right click the artwork and copy - then in iTunes right click the album, info, and paste the picture into the artwork block. It is a little work, but you only have to do it once.
artwork automatically downloads only for albums purchased on iTunes.

On my i-pod, the image is stuck on album cover and I can't see my playlist, but the music still playsr

On my i-pod, when I use i-tunes, the image is stuck on one album cover when I open i-tunes and I can't see my playlist. However, I can still play music on it. MC

When the iPod shows the connect to iTunes cren the iPod is already erased.

How to figure out which albums contain a specific image?

Is there a way to click on a specific image and find out where else it is located (besides the master file location)? For example, let's say an image of your cousin is included in an album Birthdays and in another called Family. If I clicked on the master image, is there a way to see that it is included in the albums Birthdays and Family?
Thanks for your help!

The link to the script in the post you referenced is no longer valid.
This should work Aperture: Search albums for a specific image
I have it installed as an Aperture Service but it will work as a regular script.

How do I erase a specific Photo on the "Photo Album Cover" on Apple TV???

I have removed a certain photo from All of my devices. I have reset Photostream on all of these devices and I have reset Photostream in iCloud. I have restarted all of my devices in order to completely erase this particular photo. Now the photo is, as it should be, totally gone from from iPhoto, Photostream and All my devices... HOWEVER... It still pops up as the "Last 12 months Cover" when i turn on my Apple TV??? It has to go!!! How do I delete or replace this Album Cover?
It's IMPORTANT!!! Really need your help guys! Tanks.

HT201269 Why is my album cover image not displaying on my ipod touch (5th gen) , but is available on my mac book pro?

I have an an ipod touch 5th gen. IOS8.1
Recently new songs that I download from the iTunes store does not have an image for the cover instead it shows the singer's name in grey, the image. Is there something wrong when I sync my device? I've tried re-syncing my library, but nothing is working.
Thank you in advance.
Grace

That happens sometimes:
- Unsync/delete all music and resync
To delete all music go to Settings>General>Usage>Storage>Music>Tap edit in upper right and then tap the minus sign by All Music
- Reset all settings
Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
- Restore from backup. See:
iOS: Back up and restore your iOS device with iCloud or iTunes
- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.

Black album cover image?

So I just received my Ipod Nano, synching songs works well and all, but when I play a song, the little square for album cover are black for every song.
Album cover shows up in every program I listen to my mp3 in except on my nano ?!

Plug in the iPod, uncheck the box to show artwork on the iPod then sync the iPod (all artwork will be removed from the iPod).
When it is done, reselect that check box and sync the iPod again (all artwork added to iPod).
This often times clears up display issue with artwork on the iPod.
Cheers,
Patrick

Unable to update album cover images and sometimes ID3-tags

Hello everyone,
I'm having problems with updating my track information on those tracks that I imported from my hard disk (mainly mp3s). I'm unable to add an album cover to most of them and sometimes it doesn't save the changes when I'm changing title and album information.
The last things I've done were updating iTunes to version 7.3.1.3 and additionally I chose the option "convert ID3-Tags to v2.4".
Before those two changes everything worked very well, but now I don't know what to do.
Thanks for your help already!
Andy

Anyone got a clue?
I figured out that after the ID3-Tag-conversion there are some files that are still alterable and some are not.
With the latter ones I even cannot re-convert the ID3-Tags back to version 1.

New ipod picture of album cover does no appear when playing HELP

Hello
I bought a new colour screen ipod over christmas and I thought that when you are playing songs a picture of the album cover would appear on the screen, is there a specific setting I need to set up to get this, hopefully some of you can help me thanks

If you are getting the music from itunes they should have the artwork with them. If you are getting the songs elsewhere then you will have to manually add the art work.
Click the ipod options buttong in itunes and make sure the option to dispay artwork is checked.

Album Cover Picture

When transferring album tracks to ipod classic is there away of transferring the album cover into all tracks, or must I transfer the cover into each tracks separately?.
The CD is a classic mix of 146 tracks.

*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 for the iPod. iTunes Store art is 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.
