Can't add album artwork in newest version.

If the files are WAV, you cannot add artwork as WAV files do not have tags for artwork.

I too have a problem adding artwork to music, It starts to open finder so I can locate my artwork and it crashes just upon finder opening.. I have restarted my system, I even reinstalled itunes for mac 11.1.2 for my mac notebook with mavericks 1.9 and still crashes.

I finally got a reply and worked with an Apple senior tech Lucas who was excellent, it turned out not to be Maverick after reinstalling it, then totally wiping my disk and putting Maverick fresh on my system. It turned out to be so PLIST files were corrupt for iTunes and we also cleared the cache preferences. That tends to happen after so many updates and changes to a computer. We set up a second account on my computer tested it and found the same problem, then opened in safe mode on the new account still there. So the fix as I stated before was corrupt plist files, probably not the ones in cache, but in Itunes - or could have been both. THANK APPLE for their excellent service.

FIXED

So, can you share some more info what to do and what needs to be done so we all can fix our itunes libraries? I would really apriciate more insight into this issue. Thank you.

I can confirm that the iTunes 11.1.3 update has somehow fixed the problem for me for now. I am able to add artwork for my TV Shows. However I am unable to change other field for dome other file. For files in TV shows I cannot change the name field or genre filed or number out of disc. For FIles in MOvies I cannot change the last two tabs - Artwork and text. Hm, weird things happening to iTunes libraries these days.

Hi there,

I have the same issue. So basically when I Rip a DVD into the library I am unable to update the artwork. If I purchase a movie or TV show via iTunes, the artwork is there...Its just updating for me that doesnt work. updating other information like title or sorting or Category - these all work fine.

I wanted to ask something - are all of you using a NAS for your itunes library or are some of your experiencing this with your library on the MAC or via USB? I had loads of errors with my Itunes library being on a NAS type device and the only way I fixed all my previous errors was by opening iTunes in 32bit mode - however this is now not possible.

My next test is to see if I use my Windows machine to import the move, change the artwork, then try copy that to the MAC and reimport...Mission but would be good to see if this would work.

Its very annoying and it seems we all have issues but no official acknoledgement from Apple?

I am using itunes with my NAS device. However I do not blame the NAS for this issue, but i do agree it would be interesting to know if others are having itunes folder on their mac hdd or external hdd or on NAS.

I am having the same issues on Mavericks and iTunes 11.1.3 while storing the files on a NAS drive. One further bit of information is that I don't think it is anything to do with Mavericks, as this occurs in the exact scenario with my wife's Mac Book Air which is still running OS X 10.7.5, but with iTunes 11.1.3.

My Theory is 64 Bit and NAS. I'm using an Airport Extreme with HD's attached. I had loads of issues when downloading movies from itunes directly onto my NAS but it was fixed when I checked the box saying open iTunes in 32 bit mode.

That option is no longer available.

I have found a fix for me. It is an app called iFlicks, it is free for now on Mac App Store, because there is a new version. This app can add all the metadata as there are in iTunes Store for Movies and Tv Shows.

Ladies & Gentleman we have a genius right here...Well done JVlasy you have solved this.

The app works, you must add your artwork and detail before clicking start.

This is also a solution to take all your movies and puy them into itunes without the hassle.

Thanks for making my day man!

I have to admit that I was really frustated with all this iTunes, Mavericks, NAS issue. I've just run into this app on some webpage about Apple stuff few hours ago. And I can't tell you what a relieve a felt when this app just imported the movie into iTunes and it looked as it should. I even started using itunes on my bootcamp partion to add a file to my itunes library, I just that much desprate! And I have found that this app works so good that I would not even be bother to pay 15 or 30 USD or whatever they charge on MAS, but best of all it is free, might consider the version 2 as well since it is on sale until end of year/month.

Really glad it works for anyone else.

Have to say excellent find, iFlicks worked so well bought v2, which can add MetaData to the exiting library.
