IPad doesn't display correct album art

I could really use some help here, I am at the end of my rope. I have HomeSharing on so that my iPads and iPhones will play music and movies from our iTunes library. I have an iPhone 5, an iPhone 4S, an iPad 4 and (2) iPad 2 models. Both iPhones and the iPad 4 will display the correct album art in the movies but the iPad 2's scramble up the album art. For instance on the iPad 4 shows the Aladdin album art where it says Aladdin is but on the iPad 2 (both of them) it will display random album art. So you'll be looking at a picture of Bug's Life but the line states that the movie is Aladdin. Now when you select that movie and it enters the info page where the play button is, the album art comes up correctly. It's just in the title screen or selection screen this happens. Then to add to that, the music and music videos all displays fine, the correct album art every time. For some reason, this is only happening in the movies. And again, only happening on the iPad 2's. There is no issue with the newer iPad or the iPhones. So is this a setting that is goofed? A software issue that I can't resolve? I would appreciate any input you can provide, especially if you can help me fix this!!
FYI, the iPad 2's are my daughter's so I have the PG restriction on making sure that they can't watch anything PG-13 or over. Although it won't display a PG-13 or over movie, it will display the album art (for instance it will show Hills Have Eyes instead of Aladdin although the text shows Aladdin and again, if you click on it the correct album art shows Aladdin in the info screen). I thought maybe the restrictions were the problem so I shut them off but that didn't resolve the issue.

Me Too. Glad to hear I'm not alone in this...
I can't explain it. All my songs show the correct art in iTunes but it's often mismatched on the Nano. I've noticed that selecting a problem track in iTunes, get info and clicking "ok" on the already correct art, sometimes corrects the issue (for that one track) on the Nano after the next sync.. but not always.
p.s. Other posts say "restore" is the answer. I'll try that tonight.

Itune display correct album art but i touch shows wrong album in genius mix

Hi there im using itunes 9.1.0.79 and i have an ipod touch 2g running version 3.1.3
Now the problem is the genius mixes on itunes is showing correct album art i.e. each of the four mixes are composed of four album art
ON ITUNES DANCE POP MIX CONSISTS OF SPICE GIRLS,LADY GAGA, KC AND SUNSHINE BAND AND AQUA.
THE SAME DANCE POP MIX DISPLAYS MICHAEL JACKSON, BRITNEY SPEARS, TATU AND SPICE GIRLS ON MY IPOD WHERE AS THE SONGS UNDER THE LIST ARE SAME ON THE COMPUTER AND MY IPOD
THERE IS A SAME PROBLEM WITH THE REST OF THE MIXES
EVERYTHING ELSE IS WORKING FINE ON THE IPOD EXCEPT THIS
can someone please help me find a solution and is anyone else also facing this problem......

You don't have a problem, and there is not solution. The album art you see for a genius mix is a representative sample of the albums contained in that mix. It is not all inclusive, there are other albums in that mix. When you mouse over a genius mix in iTunes, you'll see below the mix title that that mix is based on Artist A, Artist B, Artist C and others. When you play a mix, you'll see the album art changes from 4 covers to the album cover for the song now playing.
If you sync a mix to your iPhone/iPod Touch, the four covers will not be the same as those in iTunes, they will be 4 covers representing the albums included in that mix; however the description of the mix under the 4 covers will be the same as it is in iTunes. When you play a mix on your device, the art displayed is the art from the now playing song.
Mixes are not playlists, they are mixes of songs that sound good together. If you play a dance pop mix, it should be like tuning a radio to a dance pop station.
Bottom line, it is what it is. Listen and enjoy. Don't obsess about the minor details.

Problems displaying SOME album art for Home Movies in iTunes 11.1.4

I have a number of home videos in my iTunes 11.1.4 library on my Mac. I have manually added album art to each video, but only about half the movies actually show the album art when viewing the movies from the Home Videos tab in iTunes. The other half of the movies just show a frame of the movie. I double checked Get Info for the movies that aren't displayed the album art and confirmed that the album art is listed. All the album art I uploaded is of the same size and file type. Not sure why half the art displays and half doesn't. Anyone else see this before? I'm puzzled.
Thanks

I don't know if you got your answer this this post is from about 3 months ago. I've also been having the same issue.
On my end, I've been keeping all of my movie files on an external drive and just as your situation, only some of them appear and some of them are missing. I don't know if it's as a result of having them on an external drive and anytime I launch iTunes, it's not always plugged in. I'd have to do a bit more testing on that.
I did notice that as soon as I select the "Get Info" on a movie file with missing artwork and confirm that it's there in the metadata by just clicking "ok", it appears automatically in the iTunes window. Seems like a quick and easy solution for now, but not so if you have 300+ movies and you have to do the step for every other one.
If you figured out a solution for this or what worked for you, I'd be glad to hear it.

IPod Nano (1st gen) Displays Incorrect album art.

I woke up this morning and went for a bike ride with my nano when I realized it was showing incorrect album art for some of the songs. I have not noticed any pattern. I also have a 60gb photo that IS showing the correct album art so I'm pretty sure its just the nano (I updated them both today to check, and still same situation). I have tried restarting the iPod already. Anyone know what I should do?

If your iPod is set to update automatically then try this:
iTunes 6
1. Connect your iPod
2. Disable "Show Album art" in iTunes>Edit>Preferences>iPod.
3. Syncronise the iPod with iTunes. (Disconnecting and then reconnecting your iPod will do the trick)
4. Re-enable "Show Album Art" in iTunes>Edit>Preferences>iPod.
5. Syncronise the iPod again.
iTunes 7
1. Connect your iPod
2. Disable "Display album artwork" in iPod>Music tab and click Apply.
3. Syncronise the iPod with iTunes.
4. Re-enable "Display album artwork" in iPod>Music tab and click Apply.
5. Syncronise the iPod again.

Albumart.py - displays mpd album art

I love ncmpcpp but, sadly, it does not display all the beautiful album art I've collected. So I wrote this little Python script (75 lines) that does just that.
Here's a demo: http://a.pomf.se/wlozbq.mp4
It monitors mpd and searches for an image in the directory of the currently playing file, but you have to tell it mpd's music directory (MUSICDIR). You set PATTERN as how your album art is named, in globbing format. In my case that's Folder.* for Folder.jpg or Folder.png
It also needs a default image (DEFAULTIMG) in case it doesn't find any album art.
It then displays that image and scales it to the window size. The image proportions are kept, so it might fill some space with a background color that you can set (BGCOLOR).
Close the window to quit.
It requires python-mpd2 from the AUR, python-pillow and tk. I'm not an enterprise programmer so forgive me if the code is shitty. In any case, it's simple and light.
#!/usr/bin/env python
# Requires python-mpd2, python-pillow, tk
from tkinter import Tk, Frame, Label

MUSICDIR = "/home/rolf/Music/"
PATTERN = "Folder.*"
DEFAULTIMG = "/home/rolf/.icons/defaultimg.png"
BGCOLOR = "#1c1c1c"
# Frame class that draws an image and zooms it to the window size
class ImageFrame(Frame):
def __init__(self, master, imgPath, *pargs):

self.img = Image.open(imgPath)
self.origImg = self.img.copy()

break
return(albumArt)

root.title("album art")

Since that simple script of r6 was so helpful for me, I thought it only fair for me to provide my tweak to it.
Mods:
* Fetched from albumart.org
* Uses directory path for search information
* downloads larger image instead of thumbnail
* works with find -exec {} to auto populate all directories
Here is a link to my simple write up
I just run the following in the root of my music directory
find . -type d -exec ./get_coverart {} \;
And a copy of the script
#!/bin/bash -e
# get_coverart.sh
# This simple script will fetch the cover art for the album information provided on the command line.
# It will then download that cover image, and place it into the child directory.
# The term "album information" is really the relative path of the final directory.
# get_coverart <relative-path>
# get_coverart Tonic/Lemon Parade
# get_coverart Tonic/Lemon\ Parade
# get_coverart Tonic/Lemon_Parade
# To auto-populate all directories in the current directory, run the following command
# find . -type d -exec ./get_coverart "{}" \;
dpath="$1"
encoded="$(perl -MURI::Escape -e 'print uri_escape($ARGV[0]);' "$dpath")"
# Skip already processed ones
if [ -f "$dpath/cover.jpg" ]
then
echo "$dpath/cover.jpg already exists"
exit
fi
echo ""
echo "Searching for: [$1]"
url="http://www.albumart.org/index.php?srchkey=$encoded&itempage=1&newsearch=1&searchindex=Music"
echo "Searching ... [$url]"
coverurl=`wget -qO - $url | xmllint --html --xpath 'string(//a[@title="View larger image" and starts-with(@href, "http://ecx.images-amazon")]/@href)' - 2>/dev/null`
echo "Cover URL: [$coverurl]"
wget "$coverurl" -O "$dpath/cover.jpg"

WRT54G version 6 - router setup screen via Internet Explorer 7 doesn't display correctly

Hi,
I've just set up my WRT54G router. I'm able to connect to the internet and I'm able to connect directly to the router via IE but the setup screen doesn't display correctly. I've tried resetting the computer and updating the firmware but it still doesn't display correctly. Almost all of the text is missing except for the Linksys logo and a few drop down menus. Any help/suggestions would be great, thanks.

Hi gang,
There a number of things that you can do to solve this problem but most of them involve changing the rules that you have already configured in your ZoneAlarm profile. My preferred solution is to:
-unplug your router from the WAN (why not?)
-turn off zone alarm
-access your router's administration page at http://192.168.1.1
-find the admin page where you can switch admin access from http to https
--- **save your changes !!**
-reboot your router
-plug the WAN cable back into your router
-turn ZoneAlarm back on
-access your admin page at https://192.168.1.1 ( note the 's')
Bob is your sister's brother! Your admin page should work as it is supposed to. Your router and ZoneAlarm should be playing nicely together. You haven't borked your finely tuned zonealarm rules. You were going to bookmark your admin page anyway, and if you want to allow remote administration, you would want to use https anyway. Nothing is broken and you fixed two things.

[SOLVED] urxvt doesn't display correctly some special characters

Hello everyone,
I have a weird issue with urxvt. For some reason it doesn't display correctly some special character.
Here is a comparison between xfce4-terminal and rxvt-unicode (I used theses characters as exemple):
xfce4-terminal :
urxvt :
And here is my .XDefaults file (without the color and the plugin part, since it's unrelevant):
!Font
URxvt.font: xft:PragmataPro:pixelsize=11:antialias=false
!General
URxvt.scrollBar: false
URxvt*imLocale: fr_CH.UTF-8
URxvt.saveLines: 5000
URxvt.geometry: 95x26+50+50
Has someone an idea what the problem could be?
Thank's in advance.

This is what I think is happpening.
PragmataPro may not contain those glyphs. It appears to have a wide array of glyphs but it is not unicode complete.
Xfce-terminal is a vte terminal. When a glyph cannot be found in the desired font, it will find the glyph in the 'closest' font. Urxvt will only use the glyphs in the font or fonts specified. If PragmataPro does not contain the glyphs, urxvt will display boxes.
You can give urxvt a series of fonts to search. It will search for a glyph through the listed fonts in the order you specify. Here's an example from my urxvt configs:
urxvt*font: xft:DejaVu Sans Mono:style=Book:antialias=false:size=8, \
xft:WenQuanYi Bitmap Song:size=8, \
xft:FreeSerif:style=Regular, \
xft:unifont:style=Medium:antialias=false
I couldn't use FreeSerif or unifont as a main font, but for an occasional glyph, it works for me. This file, http://www.cl.cam.ac.uk/~mgk25/ucs/exam … 8-demo.txt, can be displayed in urxvt correctly, with only a few unknow glyphs showing as boxes in the Amharic section.

Vim doesn't display correctly utf8 characters

Hi,
I don't use an utf8 locale, but some files (like latex sources of my reports) are in utf8 for compatibility with other pcs. Since a while, but i cannot recall exactly when (normally, I don't use vi for latex), it doesn't display correctly such files. Emacs does, kate does, but not vim. I tried to set encoding and file-encoding in vim, but it didn't fix the issue. Any clue? Is vim broken?
Related question. It is safe to switch to utf8 locale (I mean, in rc.conf) months after the installation?
domanov

lang2 wrote::set enc=utf8
It didn't work (as i said in my previous post).
I changed from it_IT@EURO to it_IT.UTF8 in rc.conf, restarted and now vim is fine (the corresponding line in locale.gen was already uncommented and I rerun locale-gen just to be sure). Now man pages are really ugly, even worse if I erase the option -Tlatin1 from NROF line in man.conf (as suggested in the man.conf manual). Ok, let's deal with that, now.
Do I risk to broke anything more important? Shall i convert to utf-8 all the text files in /home, /etc and so on??

How do i get itunes 11 to display my album art while in list mode like it did in the previous version?

How do i get itunes 11 to display my album art while in list mode like it did in the previous version?

I think the Sidebar preview image is gone. But found that when I'm playing music either from the entire library or a playlist you can click the tiny thumbnail at the top to open a Artwork based player that is scalable. Reduce (minimize) the main Itunes window and the player is actually Nice. Hope that helps.

Vid iPod displays incorrect album art

My video iPod has started to display incorrect album art when playing back songs. The songs and their corresponding album art play back fine in iTunes on my computer. But when playing back on the iPod, it displays the wrong album covers. Any ideas on how to fix this?

Same problem. I am still lokking for a fix for my 5G pod.

Front Row not displaying all Album Art

Hi, I recently bought a Macbook Pro and imported all the music I had to it. I started downloading all the album arts for all my albums, and finally placed them all in order. They look perfect in iTunes in Coverflow.
Then, when I started Front Row, I noticed that not all of my songs displayed an Album Art, only some of them. Does anyone know how to solve this problem?

Displaying ipod album art in itunes

I have a question about the iPod's display of album art in iTunes when it is plugged into my computer. I had been getting really frustrated for the better part of the evening after adding a bunch of album art to my music, updating it on the iPod (I do manual update so I dragged the songs onto the iPod after adding the art), and then clicking on them in the iPod's library in iTunes only to see that there was no album art there. What gives?
However, I realized that I was getting annoyed for no reason when I checked it out in the iPod itself, after I disconnected it. All of the album art is there.
So here is the strange behavior I have observed this evening: if I had to go out on the internet and find cover art myself, and add it manually to the files in iTunes, it displays in the iPod's library in iTunes. If iTunes helpfully went out and found the cover art for me automatically, it does NOT display in the iPod library in iTunes (although it is actually there when you go to play the music on the disconnected iPod). I went through the iPod's library in iTunes and this is consistently what is happening.
Obviously this isn't a life-or-death kind of situation, but I was wondering if anyone else has noticed this behavior or knows why this happening. For what it's worth, my entire iTunes library is on an external hard drive, and all of my music is on there in the same place. Do you think iTunes is storing the art in separate places depending on whether I added it or it found it on its own? Would this even matter? I am very curious about this. Thanks for any insight anyone has for me.
5g iPod (video) 80 GB Mac OS X (10.4.8) iTunes 7

when i play the music on the iPod the albums show up
no problem... but when the iPod is connected to
iTunes, and i'm browsing my ipod via itunes, only
some album art shows up...
IE: beck guero, has album art in the itunes library,
it also has the art on the ipod if i play it with the
ipod disconnected from my mac. it DOES NOT show album
art when connected to itunes and view the ipod within
itunes...
whats the deal? some albums are just fine, but the
vast majority of them dont display the art while in
itunes... again, if i disconnect the ipod and view
them on the ipod, there is no problem all albums
display.
any help is appreciated.
Just so you know, you're not going crazy and you're not the only one that's seeing this. I'm seeing the same behavior with a 30GB 5G iPod and iTunes7 under Windows XP.

Getting correct album art work ?

I am having difficulty with getting the correct album art work.
For example today i imported the Howling Bells album, whilst importing the art work i noticed itunes had the option of 3 different album covers - the incorrect one came up by a band with Howling in their title too.
How do i correct this - as it has happend a couple of times - of their being different versions of the covers - or bringing up covers by different artists with similar names.
Thanks for any information.

I'm having this same problem... going back to what you said originally, that it gave you an option of 2 or more albums with the same name and you had to pick one. Mind you it gives you no real way of knowing which is correct or not. If you pick the wrong one then there's no way to get back to that first dialogue box and choose the other one.
Importantly, that other one may very well be correct and save us all the time of manually looking on Amazon etc. for the artwork. Besides, often other artwork's aspect ratios (Amazon, et al) don't match the iTunes aspect so your ipod will have white bars and stuff. The only alternative for me besides looking at Amazon or whatever is to delete the album from iTunes and re-rip from CD, then choose the OTHER option for which album I think it is. Dumb.
