Why can't i directly cut and paste album art

The older I-Tunes was able to cut directly and paste album art pictures, (when the find album album art auto feature failed) I now have to save album images to my hard drive,' Apart from the new coloured (I spell Colored with a "U" as I'm British)  icon Red instead of blue the rest of it is just the same 

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 center 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)
The new icon is the least of the changes.

  • Why can I no longer copy and paste a whole page in page thumbnail?

    Why can I no longer copy and paste a whole page in page thumbnail?

    Apple has removed over 95 features in Pages 5.
    It has also introduced multiple file formats that are incompatible with each over as well as everything else, and numerous bugs.
    Pages '09 should still be in your Applications/iWork folder.

  • The control click and external mouse right click no longer works when copying and pasting album art within itunes. Ex. Hit get info for one song to paste to the rest, copying the artwork wont work when it used to.

  • I can't seem to cut and paste text into the community message form?

    It seems I can't paste text data into this field.  Can you help?

    Win 7, explorer.  Cut and paste from any text source (Word, Notepad, Explorer) has the same result.  As an example, In this form window I cannot paste.  But, If I open a new discussion, toggle the HTML button, I can paste.  .  For some reason the reply form does not have the HTML button.  So, it might be a Java/browser thing - something is disabled.....
    I'll try Chrome and see if the same thing happens.
    I can cobble around it, but I've never seen this in any other HTML form before...

  • I can not use copy cut and paste in certain website email

    When using a college web site, I can not copy, cut, and paste.

    See http://kb.mozillazine.org/Clipboard_not_working
    A likely cause is the website email uses a rich text editor, in which case you should be able to enable copy/paste by following the instructions in this article - http://kb.mozillazine.org/Granting_JavaScript_access_to_the_clipboard

  • Why am I having trouble cutting and pasting shape animation keyframes?

    Thank you for taking a look at my little problem...
    I am creating a shape animation - a simple box that "dances". I create eight keyframes with control point changes. After the eighth keyframe I want to begin with the first again, by cutting an pasting the keyframes I've already created. When I try to paste one or more keyframes after the eighth keyframe, the pasted keyframe(s) produce unintended results. Point one seems to reset to 0,0 - and the others do not reflect the pasted keyframe either.
    Is there something I am missing about cutting and pasting keyframes in the shape animation parameter?
    Thanks

    Thanks Zoom - This will probably be the solution for me. Unfortunately there is some underlying problem going on. I can't get the "repeat" option by clicking and holding on the keyframe, but I can get it in the right column of the keyframe editor. But when I select repeat it doesn't change anything. I even selected "generate keyframes" - nothing. However, the program did slow down as though I had done something, and the "undo repeat" option was available in the edit menu. So the program thinks it did something. I'll keep poking around...

  • Do I have to cut and paste album artwork for all the albums in my library?

    So my 4gb ipod 1st gen is pretty much dead so I've bought a 3rd gen. 8gb nano, upgraded my iTuunes software to 7.5 and syncd my library onto my new iPod. All songs I've bought from iTunes have album artwork and one other old album I uploaded myself alos has album artwork but all 130 of the other albums in my library do not have artwork.
    I've gone to Advanced> Get Album Artwork, but I get the error message "could not find some artwork". I can't understand why only one of my uploaded albums has artwork visible on iTunes but all of the others don't? Do I really ahve to cut and past from Amazon for each album? Hope the anser is "No" becasue that's really time consuming!

    I guess you've figured out that the answer is "yes". Remember you can do groups of songs (like an album) at a time by selecting them and doing "get info". Also, by saving album art in the mp3 file, you can save it permanently.

  • Why can I no longer copy and paste a page in the thumbnails view?

    We used to be able to copy and paste, even edit the order of the pages in thumbnail view. Why has ALL of this functionality been removed?! Or is there some special way to do it now that isn't as intuitive?

    Pages '09 should still be in your Applications/iWork folder.
    Pages 5 has had 90+ features removed and a load of bugs added.
    Any sensible user will just say "Pass!"

  • Why can I no longer copy and paste a link?

    Since updating Mozilla I have tried sending a link, but can no longer copy and paste it. I don't even understand what an anchor is....

  • Ugh. can't do simple cut and paste.

    i do quite a lot of design stuff as favors for friends in illustrator and photoshop but i am a total amateur, i want someone to sit me down and teach me how to use this thing. i've spent 3 hours of my life trying to do a perfectly simple task again:
    i have an image of a coaster with a scalloped edge against a blue background. i want to separate the coaster from its background and put it against a woodgrain background. i don't understand layer/vector masks at all but somehow thought this would be the way to do it. so i drew around the coaster edge and made a vector mask. all well and good as i managed to get rid of the background. i now need to paste the coaster sans background onto my woodgrain. but for some reason when i copy and paste, only the outline of the mask pastes! what on earth am i doing wrong. like i said, 3 hours of my life gone on this. i know i could insert the woodgrain as a new layer but i need to resize the whole thing after that to be business card size and i can't figure out how to do that without resizing the coaster image too so it's really small against the background.... confusing sentence, i hope someone understands and can help. thanks!!

    Copying works for pixel content and paths, but not both at once.
    Edit: But dragging the layer into the other image should work just fine.
    My recommendation is to convert the masked layer to a Smart Object (Layer > Smart Objects > Convert to Smart Object) and drag that into the other file – or vice versa.
    Then invoke transform (command-T) to scale, rotate etc. it appropriately.
    Whenever a Layer has to be scaled, rotated etc. one is well advised to make that layer a Smart Object because that way multiple transformations (for example when later on deciding that the size, position etc. needs further changes yet) will not accumulate image degradation.

  • How do I cut and paste

    I have just bought an apple having previously owned windows based computers. And was wondering if anyone can advice how you cut and paste things within social networking sites.  It would appear I can not do it the same way as windows. Not sure why.  I have not tried doing anything in word or excel yet.

    This may be good information for cut, copy, and paste functions within a program that uses text or pictures within documents but not good advice for simple file management....
    It is important to me that I maintain files without using up space by having duplicate files in multiple locations, ie. same file name with same contents under another parent file with differing name.  I want to move multiple files from one parent file to another parent file that may contain the same file name. Upon doing so, I should get a pop up window that states I am trying to move a file with the same name to this new location that already contains a file with the same name and what do I want to do with it? Stop, Merge, Overwrite, etc.  I would say stop because I want to verify if they are indeed the same contents and to continue with the moving of files for those that do not have a conflict. When all is said and done, I should only have those files left in the original parent file that had a conflict and all the others should have successfully moved to the new location parent file.
    This is not the case with Mac.  When I try this procedure, FIRST there is no CUT command using the command and mouse (right click) menu. SECOND if I selct all files in the parent file (command 'a') and drag to the new file location, I get all the previously mentioned options about files with the same names but when its done, I find that the files were only copied and not cut from their original location file. This makes it impossible to know which files are indeed duplicates since everything was left behind in the original parent file location.
    What is the Darn answer??!!  Don't tell me Apple was so stupid not to create a function that does this as all Windows based computers do.
