TRANSFER ALBUM ARTWORK

is there anyway can transfer just album artwork if i have it set to manual in my itunes?
on my pod some artwork isnt there but shows up on my itunes

I have to disagree. If the iPod is set to manual, you can add artwork to the songs already on the iPod without the need to delete anything and then transfer it back again.
You just need to highlight the songs on your iPod and use the copy/paste method to add artwork to the box. I have done this many times.
What you cannot do however is to add artwork directly to the songs on the iPod using the "get artwork" option from iTunes.

  • Transfer Album Artwork to another computer?

    Most of my album artwork has been retrieved automatically using the "Get Album Artwork" command in iTunes. Other album artwork has been copied from amazon.com or other sites. Where exactly does all this artwork get stored? How can I transfer album artwork to another computer? I see album artwork docs stored in 4 folders:
    1) C:\Documents and Settings\Owner\My Documents\My Music\iTunes\Album Artwork\Download
    2) C:\Documents and Settings\Owner\My Documents\My Music\iTunes\Album Artwork\Local
    and ALSO in:
    3) C:\Documents and Settings\MYUSERNAME\My Documents\My Music\iTunes\Album Artwork\Download
    4) C:\Documents and Settings\MYUSERNAME\My Documents\My Music\iTunes\Album Artwork\Local
    To backup/transfer to another computer, which of these 4 folders do I need? Why are there 4? How can I combine to 1 or 2? Do I simply copy folders from one computer to another? Which folder(s)? My iTunes library is on an ext hard drive, but the album artwork is on the C drive. I backup/transfer the itunes library by connecting my ext hard drive to the 2nd computer, and hit "Add Folder to Library", but don't know how to properly transfer the artwork folder(s). Thanks for the help!

    Hi Pete,
    You would copy the entire iPhoto Library folder to the other computer. Put the iPhoto Library folder in the Pictures folder of the other computer (make sure there is no library with the same name in the Pictures folder. If there is rename it.
    Does the other computer have the same version of iPhoto? does the other computer already have photos in the library.
    What do you want to do if there is another library on the other computer?
    Copy iPhoto Library folder from one Mac to another
    -If the library is small enough, burn the ENTIRE iPhoto Library folder to CD/DVD.
    Drag the iPhoto Library folder from the CD/DVD to your Pictures folder of the iMac.
    -If the computers are networked, copy the ENTIRE iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder of the other Mac.
    -If you have an iPod, copy the ENTIRE iPhoto Library folder to the iPod. Connect the iPod to the other computer and copy the iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder of the other Mac.
    -If you have a firewire cable, copy the ENTIRE iPhoto LIbrary folder to the Pictures folder of the other Mac
    Things to keep in mind:
    -If the usersnames are different you might have to set the permissions on the iPhoto Library folder to Read/Write for the new user. Check the "apply to enclosed items" at the bottom of the "get info" window.
    -If there is another iPhoto Library folder on the other Mac, change it's name so it doesn't get replaced by the iPhoto Library folder you are copying into the Pictures folder...or....drag it to another place on your hard drive.

    Here is your saviour... it's called iTunes Art Importer.
    What this program does is uses the information provided by iTunes and searches Amazon's vast database of music, and finds the appropriate album art.

  • Unable to transfer album artwork to printer

    Since upgrading to Leopard I have been unable to print album artwork. When I hit Print the artwork does not transfer to printer. This only applies to iTunes. All other applications o.k.

    Erica,
    It sounds like you may not realize that for CD's you add to iTunes yourself, you have to add the artwork yourself as well.
    One way to do this is to find the album cover at a web site such as amazon.com. Save the artwork on your computer, a new folder called
    i Album covers
    might be helpful for this purpose.
    Now it's time to get the artwork into iTunes. Select
    b Library
    in the
    i Source List
    and click on the
    b Browse
    icon in the top right corner of iTunes.
    Now select the CD in the Browse pane and press the
    b Ctrl
    and
    b I
    keys at the sqame time.
    After confirming that you want to edit information for multiple items, you will be taken to the
    i Multiple Song Information
    window. Double-click the large
    b Artwork
    box and then navigate to the image you downloaded from amazon.com and confirm that's the image you want.
    You will now be able to view the artwork in iTunes by selecting Edit menu > Show Artwork and it should be on your iPod the next time you synch with iTunes.
    I hope this is the answer to your problem. If not, post back.

  • How can I manually transfer album artwork from my library to my iPod

    I downloaded album artwork to the songs in my library, and now I want to get the artwork onto the songs on my iPod classic. Problem is, I manually manage the songs on my ipod, instead of auto-syncing.... so when I hit the "sync" button in the latest version of iTunes (11.1.1.11), nothing happens. There also isn't a "show album artwork on iPod" button anymore. I'm afraid to change my settings from manual to automatic syncing, because I have lots of playlists on my iPod that aren't in my library, and I don't know if these playlists will be removed during the auto-sync. So how can I manually get the album artwork onto my iPod?
    Thanks,
    Rob

    You can only backup iOS devices.
    Sadly the old trick of removing all artwork and then adding it all back again no longer works. You may get some joy if you removed the specific album, then add it back again, butgenerally once things go wrong with artwork on a classic the only option is to restore it. Not a problem if all the media is in your library and you sync with a small number of selected playlists. If you don't have all the media see Recover your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device.

  • How can i transfer album artwork to itunes

    can someome help me i have got some album artwork but cant seem to be able to put it on to itunes?

    There are various methods of adding artwork to your songs and albums.
    If you have an iTunes store account, you can use the "get album artwork" option in iTunes. You don't actually need to purchase anything from the iTunes store, just to have or create an account. Provided that the album or song for which you are looking to add artwork is available for sale in the store, iTunes will find it and add it to your library.
    If you go to preferences/general in iTunes and check the box marked "automatically download missing album artwork", it will automatically add the artwork when you import a CD into iTunes.
    You must have the album or song tagged in your iTunes library correctly or it may not be found. For instance, even a missing "The" before the artists name can throw up anomalies. iTunes will check each song in your iTunes library and attempt to match it up with a song in the iTunes Store. If the data matches, iTunes will download the album artwork from the iTunes Store and add it to the song in your iTunes library.
    If you don't have an account or don't want to create one, here are a couple of other methods.
    Highlight a song or album in iTunes, then right click on it and select the "get album artwork" option.

Go to Google Image Search and type in the artist/album name and click on search images. 

Double click on a picture you like, then at the top of that page click on "see full size image". 

When you get that image, simply copy/paste it into the space for album artwork in iTunes. 

Make sure you select the album in the browser of iTunes before you copy/paste. 

    In the unlikely event that Google can’t find an image, you can also get artwork from Amazon.
    If you’re happy using images from Amazon, and don’t want to copy/paste, then iTunes Art Importer is a free program to do it for you.
    And for Macs, there's Album Art Widget.
    You can set this to find art from Amazon, Google and elsewhere, automatically add artwork to songs, rate songs, and a bunch of other stuff.
    One of the coolest widgets around.

  • Hp touchsmart 520 wont transfer album artwork from itunes to hp music

    all music transfers but no artwork

    Hello gazzer1:
               Welcome to HP's forum. I  know HP's software is similar I have version 3 Touchsmart software. Did you click on the icon that looks like a lock washer? This is settings icon. It should be towards the top on the right. When you click it there are several options of libraries to choose. Select Itunes library and now see if the Art work now displays. Yes the HP library pulls all music files but the art work it may not. Itunes it should. Please let us know if it works or doesn't. Thank you frrw.
            I know what you are talking about (Art Work) The album or song cover. I do not use it my self so it would be nice to know any way.

  • HT1386 Album artwork doesn't transfer since upgrade iOS?

    Anyone can you help? I "upgraded" to iOS 6.01, now my album artwork will not transfer with my music to my iPod touch.

    When you download artwork from the iTunes store, it is stored in the iTunes folder in the Album Artwork folder, not in the song file.
    If you paste in artwork from another source, it is stored in the song file. So there are two systems which can be confusing
    So if you are transfering your iTunes library to another computer, you need to take the whole iTunes folder as well as the iTunes Music folder. This ensures you have the library databses and artwork folder.

  • ITunes displays new Album Artwork but wont transfer all artwork to iPod?

    I have manually updated my iTunes library to show the new full resolution album artwork, but after updating my iPod almost half of the images didn't transfer to iPod?

    If itunes decides that the ipod can't play a vid it won't send it. The ipod won't necessarily play every mp4 video, the specs are:
    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
    Try right clicking on one of the bad vids in itunes and select "Convert to ipod format" - this should make it ipod compatible.

  • Album Artwork transfer error

    Hi- I don't know if this question has already been answered but I'm very frustrated...
    I spent over two hours downloading album artwork from various websites (I know, I'm Obsessive-Compulsive) and consequently attached it to my music in iTunes. Although I come to realize, I was putting it on the files DIRECTLY on the iPod, not in my iTunes library. This artwork is not showing up on my iPod now, although stuff I've bought from Apple's Music Store that has artwork attached DOES show up.
    Could someone please advise, as to how I can get all of this downloaded artwork to show up? Or do I have to go back and do it all again within the iTunes library?
    Help!

    i had same problem but found if i put the artwok onto my songs whilst they where in the itunes library then transfered them . the artwork should then be visible

  • Nano3rd: album artwork does not transfer

    my album artwork is not transferring...when i click on "display album artwork" and click "apply", it optomizies halfway through and then i receive an error message. it reads "ipod cannot be synchronized"...some of the artwork is from songs i have purchased from itunes. whats up? is it a computer error with nothing to do with itunes or nano?

    I've read posts where you need to
    1) untick the option to send artwork to the ipod
    2) sync the ipod
    3) eject the ipod
    4) reconnect the ipod and tick the option to sync artwork
    5) sync the ipod again.

  • Transfer of Album artwork

    Hi there
    I recently purchased and i pod video, any I'm experiencing a problems which I can't find a FAQ or online manual which can answer my question.
    Well, my entire digital music collection is in MP3s and I found the album artwork to go with many of these tracks in preparing these to upload onto the ipod. I succussfully tranferred the artwork to i tunes, however when I update my ipod, the music comes over and only 'some' of the artwork in itunes.
    It's frustrating as there otherwise does not seem to be any other problems.
    Help me please!

  • Embedded Art Shows Fine - "Get Album Artwork" Won't Transfer

    I have a MacBook Pro with OS 10.4.11, and iPod Classic v1.1.1, and I'm having a problem:
    Any artwork that I retrieved using iTunes' "Get Album Artwork" option DOES NOT show up on my iPod. All the artwork I manually retrieved from Google (copy & pasted) shows fine.
    I'm told that copying and pasting artwork embeds the image file right into the mp3 file itself. The artwork that iTunes retrieves is NOT stored in each mp3 file, but rather in its own separate database. Somehow that database doesn't seem to be transferring to the iPod.
    Anyone else having this problem? Any way to let Apple know directly?

    *How to find tracks without artwork*
    To find all the tracks without embedded 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/scripts13.php for Macs. Use Google, Amazon, Discogs etc. to locate relevant jpeg 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, select a track with artwork, right-click (Option-Click for Macs) on the art & click copy, then select all the tracks of the abum, use CTRL-I or Option-I to *Get Info* and then paste the image into the artwork box. This should also let you embed iTMS downloaded artwork.
    I don't know how well these tools work with a manually-managed iPod since I maintain my full library on an external drive & sync from that.
