A late majority of the album art on my iPod Touch is mixed up.

I put a CD in my laptop to import it to iTunes. I unplugged my iPod and all the album art in my music (all of which I had purchased on iTunes) was mixed up. Say, a Lady Gaga song still played Lady Gaga but the album art was one of my Katy Perry songs. I've tried restoring all settings but it's still messed up. I need help, please.

  • About a month ago, most of the Album art on my iPod just up and disappeared.

    So, about a month ago, for no apparent reason at all, almost all of the album art on all of the music on my iPod just disappeared and was replaced by the default white art. It even happened to most of my purchased music! As time passed, some of it gradually re-appeared, which is really weird, but most of it is still gone. I have 174 albums on my ipod and about only 1/4 of them have art. Before this problem happened, almost every single album had art. I meticulously spend HOURS adding really nice album art to the music on my iPod, and then this happens.
    I'm genuinely quite upset. I use my iPod a LOT and have put a lot of money into Apple. A problem like this should not be happening. I'm actually very tech-savvy (going to be getting a CS degree) but this problem baffles me at every turn and it's extremely frustrating.
    So, last night, I tried to fix the problem again. I made an album in my music folder and added the proper information to each song, with an album cover (500X500 - all of my album art is 500X500) in the folder where the songs reside. I then plug my iPod in and open iTunes. I then go into file and add the album to my iTunes library, and then I go to the songs and add the album cover to their information via the "add artwork" submenu of the get info on the songs. I then sync the songs to my iPod normally, and the album art shows up on them. Great. Wonderful.
    I then think, "Oh, maybe I can fix all of my OTHER album art manually!".
    So I go to my artists on my iPod and find an album titled Asteroid (it's a song by Rameses B) which doesn't have a cover but should. I deleted it off of my iPod. I then plugged my iPod back into my computer and tried to re-sync the song Asteroid back onto my iPod but nothing happened. It WOULD NOT, and I mean WOULD NOT sync that **** song to my iPod. It just sat there like I never did anything at all. My method of syncing is that I find the song and drag-drop it to the iPod menu on the right side of my screen.
    So then I kind of gave up for the night. It was midnight and I was done with this **** after trying to get that song to sync for at least 20 minutes.
    So I eject the iPod from my computer (SAFELY) and close iTunes normally, bla bla bla, go to sleep.
    I get up this morning and go to my music app and ALL OF MY ALBUM ART ON EVERYTHING IS GONE. *POOF*, gone. Including the songs that I'd synced last night! What the ****! How does that even happen?!
    Some more information:
    I'm running Windows 7 with a fully updated iTunes. My iPod is fully updated as well. As in iOS 7.1.0, non-Beta. It's an iPod touch 5th generation.
    So, my question is, how the heck do I get my album art back on my darn iPod?! I have tried manually re-syncing individual songs after deleting them off of my iPod and they won't re-sync. I have also tried re-syncing my entire music library to my iPod, and the result was the same as before. Most of the album art didn't transfer to the iPod.
    I'm extremely frustrated at this point. I'm at the very verge of jailbreaking this thing and iFunbox-ing all of my album art over to it forcefully. If Apple can't fix my problem, I will. I'm at that point right now.
    Please help.
    Thank you so much in advance.

  • How do I fix the album art on my iPod? It has been scrabbled due to the iOS update.

    My iPod touch 5th generation has had two problems come up since the iOS update; I regret updating because I was happy with how it was before. The album art has been scrabbled on my iPod; it has placed album art that goes with other songs to the wrong song or has album art I've never seen before.  My iPod also has a problem with music now. I've noticed that I am unable to play music that I once could. Some have an iCloud or stop symbol next to it and I can not listen to them. I notice that while it plays my music on shuffle, while looking at the screen and song, it will skip through about 2-5 or more songs as if it's not allowed to play it. I am very irratated with these problems. Everything was all dandy before these updates. Any feedback would be very helpful and I thank you.

  • Problems with album art copying to ipod touch

    I got a 2nd generation ipod touch for christmas and am having some problems with the album art. I have all of the album art set up in itunes, and when I right click on a song and tell it to 'get info' it shows the album art picture fine (in my itunes library as well as in my ipod's music library), but when the song is actually playing on the ipod the screen is just blank. It isn't just the white background with the music notes like a song with no album art at all, it's just a black screen. When I flip the ipod sideways and browse through the albums all of the album art shows up except for a few which are blank as well. Anybody know why this is happening? Another weird thing is that the album art will show up for maybe one or two songs in the album, but the vast majority are just showing a blank black screen with no picture. Anyone else having this problem?

    "And now I can't get rid of that cover w/o deleting the whole songlist."
    are you sure? if you go to either album info (right clicking on the album in grid view) and double clicking in the album art section, you should be able to use any picture you have saved on your machine by navigating to that picture. OR right clicking individual tracks, then get info, and going to 'artwork', and then deleting it there (you might have to delete them all individually, but it beats having the wrong art there)

  • After i downloaded IOS5 most of my album art on my iPod touch is missing, but its still on my computer.

    some of the album art for the songs i recently downloaded from itunes is there, but almost everything i've downloaded from itunes in the past has no album art. how do i get it back?

    Another thing to try: uncheck the "Sync Music" checkbox in your iPod pane in iTunes, sync and allow iTunes to remove the tracks, then rechec the "Sync Music" checkbox and resync. That fixed the problem with missing and incorrect album artwork on my iPad with iOS 5.
    Regards.

  • Album art disappears from ipod touch

    Album art for both complete albums and single songs often disappears from the device when uploading new music. However, the art work still appears when you look at the individual songs; i.e., when the device is connected to the computer, you open iTunes, highlight a song and click Apple-I > Artwork.
    Also, song order for albums and playlists often gets thrown out of whack. Songs ends up alphabetized.

    I just thought about if the music file recognize the song on iTunes store OR every song file that you have album art on then that should be no problem, the only problem is when some of the music/song which is not from iTunes store or they don't have any information for the song, so that will not have album art show up on any of your ipod device unless you add the album art yourself on iTunes when you import song into your iTunes from the file in your computer.

  • Just imported CD... And everything else on my iTunes, without meaning to. But now I can't see the album artwork on my iPod Touch!

    So what I was meaning to do is to import a CD that I wanted to have put on my iPod Touch. But I didn't realize that I was also importing all of my songs from my iTunes Library on my computer, which I already have on my iPod. So, after the sync was done, I opened up my music, on my iPod, to see if it had synced successfully. And sure enough, it was there, but almost all of my albums are now artless! It's really helpful for me to see the artwork, so that I know what songs are in that particular album, so it's really important that I have the artwork. My computer is a PC, and when I imported the CD, I used the AAC encoder, and used the iTunes Plus setting. Please help, and thank you!

  • I was changing album art on my ipod touch 4th gen with a different laptop then all my music disappeared (the titles are still there but the music is gone and the space is empty) i recently updated to ios 6 and the laptop im using just got itunes on it

    i chose not to sync my ipod for fear i would lose all my songs because the new laptop had no songs. ni chose to manage files manually, and after around 3 chages my ipod only read my purchased songs. so i unplugged my ipod and pluggd it back in. the laptop said i had all of my music in my ipod. after this the titles appeared but they were that light gray color and i couldnt play them. what happened???

    That suggests the track is damaged.
    If your country's iTunes Store allows you to redownload purchased tracks, I'd delete your current copy of the track and try redownloading a fresh one. See the following document for instructions:
    Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
    Otherwise, I'd report the problem to the iTunes Store.
    Log in to the Store. Click on "Account" in your Quick Links. When you're in your Account information screen, go down to Purchase History and click "See all".
    Find the item that is not playing properly. If you can't see "Report a Problem" next to the item, click the "Report a problem" button. Now click the "Report a Problem" link next to the item.

  • How do I fix the cover art in my iPod touch?

    Podcast coverart has replaced many of my music file art.

    See this article for different ways to preserver and extend your iPod's battery life and health.
    http://www.apple.com/batteries/ipods.html
    How old is the iPod and are you letting it charge to full capacity each time?  Batteries do wear out over time and lose their ability to maintain a full charge at max capacity. It could just be a sign that the battery is wearing out and in need of replacement.

  • I have converted most of my windows media files to itunes. However I had to close it down about 3 quarters of the way through. It then processed the album art. How can I convert the files that it didn't finish doing the first time? thanks

    Hi there,
    hope you can help me. I helped my sister convert her window media files to itunes and set up an account for her. Unfortunately her computer is really slow and it was really late and we had to turn it off. It processed some of the album art for the files that it had converted. However, some songs were not converted and because there was quite a few left, I don't really know which ones did not get converted as I selected  all of the folders. How do I find out which ones I have left to convert and put the rest of the songs onto itunes for her please? Or are they on the itunes still as they showed up initially on itunes in the list to be converted.
    Thank you!

    You could convert them all again and then dedupe, or use a Windows search to reveal all the WMA files and then try to work out which still need to be converted. If you're lucky iTunes would have processed the imports in alphabetical path order so it would just be a matter of working out where it had got up to...

  • Incorrect album art on iPhone even when I try to manually correct the album art in iTunes.

    I recently replaced my iPhone 3GS with a new iPhone 4S. The album art is fine when viewed via my iMac in iTunes, but when I sync an album to my phone, it gives it a random album cover from my library instead of the correct one. I go to iTunes and manually re-upload the album art but when I sync again it's still incorrect. Does anyone know how to fix this?

    I think I have the same problem with an iPhone 3GS running 6.0.1 and iTunes 10.7.  I didn't have this problem with 6.0.0.  My album artwork is fine in iTunes but when I transfer it to my iPhone, I get either the wrong album art or no album art.  I've tried deleting the music from the phone and re-adding it.  I rebuilt the album art cache.  I reformatted all my music as an audiobook and then back to music (don't laugh - this worked for someone!).   I loaded Media Monkey to see if there was something wrong with my mp3 files.  My mp3 files are fine and if I load my iPhone with Media Monkey, the artwork is fine.    I think the problem is that the vast majority of my music is 300 bps or better mp3 files.  Even if the artwork is imbedded in the mp3 file,  iTunes is doing something wacky with the album art and I can't figure out how to fix it.   If it weren't for all my iTunes playlists, I would just use Media Monkey to manage my music on my iPhone.  

  • I dont always get my songs from itunes, how can i get the album art?

    When I download a song on a place other than iTunes, the album art doesn't show. How can I get it to?

    If you don't buy your music from itunes you can go to amazon.com and simply copy the artwork from their and paste it into itunes. Select the appropriate album or track within your itunes, right click and then select 'get info'then paste it into the artwork box on the right hand side!

  • How can the album-art, which is all in iTunes , suddenly only shows partially on the iPod classic 160 gb?

    I'm user of iTunes for years and in possession of 2 iPod classics.
    For both iPods I have a specific playlist created, which I sync with iTunes. Each of my nearly 50,000 tracks in iTunes comes with the right Album-art (all 500 x 500 pixels and 72 dpi) andeach track contains also the necessary meta data and is converted to 160 or 192 kbps  M4a. In Finder on my MacBook I can see that the M4a files all contain album-art, because the file icons show the album art for each file name! Also in the grid overview of iTunes you can see them all, no exception.
    For years that went well. Now,  a week ago, I made a new playlist (16,000 tracks) for one of my iPod classics because I wanted a different content! The old playlist I discarded and synchronized the new one.  Now it appears that a large number of album-art on the iPod is not shown, nor in cover-flow nor during play-back. I then tried to get my new playlist updated by exported as XML and then imported into iTunes again. In that case all tracks from the list are checked for completeness against the library and after import it should be fine. Unfortunately, it is not the case. Still the album-art is not shown for all tracks/albums on the iPod.
    I run iTunes (11.2.2 (3)) on a MacBook Pro at the end of 2009, with the latest OSX version (10.9.3) and with enough disk space and memory.
    My iTunes library is on a NAS (Synodisk DS209J II plus) the iPods run on the latest sw version (1.1.2) and are both Apple formatted.
    I wonder if this is an iPod error or something wrong with the library. I hope you will understand, that I do not want to lose all the metadata of the 50,000 tracks by rebuilding the library, especially things like: date added, number of times played, rating, comments!
    I hope someone can provide me an acceptable solution.
    With regards, Sign-X

    I'm a bit confused, but I assume you want to shuffle your playlist while you are playing it in iTunes. If this is so, you will actually have to start playing a song before the shuffle button appears, and it appears in the top center panel of your iTunes window. Yeah, I know...
