Songs On iPod Out Of Order/Shuffling Displays Incorrect Album Artwork

Hello all. My main problem(s) with my 4th generation iPod nano is that on selected albums, the songs are displayed in an incorrect order (not corresponding correctly to my iTunes library). This and that when I shuffle all my songs, the artwork doesn't correspond correctly to the song that is playing. I have called Apple at least four times and tried reinstalling iTunes twice, restoring my iPod to factory defaults three times, resyncing my iPod four times, and checking the tags on my iTunes Library songs. Any ideas what the problem could be?

I am having the same problem that my artwork doesn't correspond with the right song thats playing, get different artwork and also artwork from movies that have been deleted long ago. SOMEONE PLEASE HELP

On my ipod touch 4g, its showing the incorrect album artwork for the songs

On my ipod touch 4g it's showing incorrect album artwork. I have music I bought from iTunes and some music from the internet that isn't included in iTunes. The problem has been going on for a while but i've ignored it but now I would like the correct album artwork for each song. First, I deleted every single song in my itunes iTunes libaray, then synced my ipod. Then i put the music i bought from iTunes in my libaray and synced it and the album artwork that showed was from songs and albums that I had deleted from my iTunes libaray. It's becoming a very fustrating problem that I would like to be solved.

HT1660 My itunes library has automatically started to list my songs alphabetically. I do not want this. How do I change it so that when albums come up, the songs are listed in the order of the imported album, NOT alphabetically.

For the missing Artists on your iPod, make sure their tracks in iTunes are not marked as "Part of a compilation" in iTunes. You can do this by highlighting the track, right->clicking on them and choosing "Get Info" from the shortcut menu. When the window pops up, head over to the Info tab and make sure there is NO tick mark next to this option in the lower right hand corner. Lastly, sync the updated changes to your iPod.

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?

Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store

When playing a song on ipod touch 4th gen, the display doesn't show the time lenghth of song or the shuffle, repeat options. Any thoughts??

When I used to play music, the song display showed the album art, the length of the song and how much time was left, it also had a repeat and shuffle option at the bottom of the screen A couple of days ago, these things disappeared. Any thoughts??

when the song is playing/on the music player tap the album cover or the middle of the screen and these things should pop up for you. If that doesn't work then i dont know.

Songs by artist out of order

Ok, so I've been using a program for months to manage my ID3 tags on my music.
I like my ipod a lot, I use it everywhere I go, but recently after downloading 6 albums of a certain artist, I used the ID3 tag manager (like always.. never had a problem) to remove ALL album names, track numbers, EVERYTHING except the artist name (all the same) and genre (all the same for each artist).
I keep no album names or identification, I don't like going by albums, I just keep it simple and go by song titles. However, this time the songs are being somewhat ordered around into a specific order unknown to me, there will be some songs in alphabetical order here, then some random songs starting over the alphabet (same artist, mind you) and it will continue over and over starting with new albums I'm guessing.
I do not want this, and I do not know how to make it force alphabetizing it into the normal fashion by song title. This happens for no other artist (actually, it happens on a couple others, as this has been an issue for some time on particular artists). I need to know what I need to do to get this fixed.
also, if there is any way to remove the process of selecting Artist > Artist Name > ALL > Song name, I do not want to select my album as ALL every time I select an artist, because I don't even use that feature by ID3 tag, I completely remove it for every single piece of media I have on my ipod. My friend's ipod does not make you select ALL as the album if she doesn't have any albums listed, and I would like to see if this will work for my new 5th gen ipod as well.
Thanks for help!

Ok, I will restate what I've said throughout the entire thread:
I use an ID3 tag manager to mass-manage lots of music that I bring in via CDs and other locations. I handle a lot of music, and I only keep track of artists and song names, no albums or anything else except the genre to keep it sortof noted.
My ID3 tags for each and every song on my computer consists of ONLY the Artist name and genre, not a single thing else. No album name, no titles, nothing.
I have songs from multiple albums per artist, but they are mixed because they are UNTAGGED as being on a certain album. I personally have no idea what album each song may be on, and don't care to know.
My music on my ipod is organizing itself by an album title (ex: Album A songs will display before Album B songs) although there is NO INDICATION whatsoever that any song is on a particular album and is not told to be sorted in that manner.
The reason I didn't supply a screenshot is because it looks appropriately alphabetized in my itunes management, but this does not translate when uploading it to my ipod. Certain artists will have songs from X album appear above other songs for no reason, there is no reason it should put a song titled (for example): "Zanzibar" over a song titled "Float", but because the song titled "Zanzibar" is on an album starting with the letter A and "Float" on an album starting with the letter F, it will display ABOVE "Float" even though it is not being told to order itself by album title, and has no reason behind being placed there, as there is no information in the Album field on any of the songs that I own.
Do you see the predicament? I am aware it doesn't sound right, and that's why I've come here to get a resolution for it, it simply does not make since. I use an ID3 tag manager because when you load a CD onto your computer, it will keep Track numbers, Album names, etc. I remove this information and insert blank fields so that the music is SOLELY ORDERED by the FILENAME of the song (which happens to be the song title only, the ID3 "title" field is left blank as well).
If this helps clarify it for you, please forgive any discrepancies in my previous posts. I've tried to convey the same message in each post, but somehow you must've been lost.
So now that it's all stated clearly; My problem is this: I want my songs by ARTIST X to be alphabetized SOLELY on the FILENAME, which I have supplied the song title in that position. I have NO information in ID3 tags other than the ARTIST and GENRE. Nothing else, no title, album, anything.
Thanks for any help!

Audio book on ipod out of order

I've borrowed audio books from the library and ripped them into itunes. If I burn them to a CD with Nero, they're all in the right order. If I import them to my Itunes library and then to a Playlist for my Ipod Touch, they're all out of order. I know how to arrange playlists, but we're talking 250 tracks for every book here.

Make a playlist, then hit the tab at the top to put them in order.

IPod displays incorrect album art for some songs

Hi, I hope someone can help. I've tried a bunch of things and I'm still having problems with some of my album art. They display fine in iTunes and other music players, but sometimes not on my iPod. Sometimes it'll display a different album cover than it should, and it kinda annoys me. The only thing I can do is to open the iPod in iTunes, delete the song off the iPod and drag it back on. I think I've had this problem with songs I've brought back in though. Also, once the wrong art is displayed, it remeains that way unless I delete the song and replace (like I just said). I thought maybe the iPod was stressed by starting up, so I tried running through all songs figuring it would endure less stress, therefore displaying the right album art, and thus it would remember the artwork than me, but artwork still messed up
I tried the diplay album art setting in iTunes
running through songs on iPod
I started in automatic update and now I'm in manual update, but this problem occurred in both
Please Help me, someone!!!

IPod displaying wrong album artwork; connectivity issues

I have an iPod Classic 80GB, model #A1238. It's a little over 2 years old. I use it on a PC with Windows Vista. And I am currently using the latest version of iTunes.
My iPod is pretty much at full capacity (music only!)-- if I want to add something, I have to delete something else. Lately, a lot of the new music I add displays the wrong album artwork in my iPod (even though everything's correct in iTunes). Usually, the recently added songs/files displays the artwork of another recently added album... but now, my recently added albums are displaying artwork for other, "older" and random albums in my iPod library! It's driving me crazy since my iPod is so neatly organized!
I have a feeling it has something to do with syncing? For the past year or so, I have had issues connecting my iPod to my computer. From time to time I get one of those "this device can perform faster" messages. That sometimes leads to other error messages about not being able to eject my iPod b/c the "device is in use," or I get an excessively long period of syncing or "verifying" my iPod. When those things happen & I'm stuck in a certain process, I typically try manually ejecting the iPod... and when that doesn't work, I restart my iPod.
In fact, I've been restarting my iPod a lot these days. I try to restart it every time I'm about to plug it into my computer to remove/add new music (I figure it might not have issues with wrong album art if it gets kind of a "fresh start!"... and that only works some of the time).
So what do you think the problem is with the album artwork?!? It seems so trivial, but it really drives me crazy-- I really love looking at the artwork, as silly as that may sound! I've heard that I might have to restore my iPod back to factory settings, but I'm REALLY hesitant to do that-- I have about 16,000 songs on my iPod & to get them back, I'd have to re-import my many, many CDs! It will probably take days! I'm also afraid I might start having the same old issues if I start getting those error messages about the device performing faster (I feel like all my little complications arose from those issues).
Some things to keep in mind: If it's not clear already, I manually manage my iPod's music library-- I don't sync entire libraries or playlists or anything. And most of my album artwork is downloaded automatically when I import CDs or purchase music from iTunes. Once in a while I manually add the album artwork (like, I find the album art from the Internet, copy it, right click my song files on iTunes, select "get info" & manually paste the image in the artwork box). That sometimes helps, but those files can still sometimes display incorrectly in my iPod, ditto song files purchased from iTunes (though more often than not, I don't have issues with those files' artwork).
Lastly, is it bad for me to be repeatedly restarting my iPod?
Any help would be much appreciated!! (And be forewarned: I am NOT too tech-savvy!)

The only way to get things resolved will be to restore your iPod. Since, as you imply, you've been manually managing your iPod and not keeping copies of your media on your local hard drive, you will need to recover the content from your iPod before you restore. There are plenty of threads here detailing just how to do that. If you haven't got the space then you will need to start, I guess, by buying an external drive big enough to hold all your media in one go.
Your iPod shouldn't need resetting on a regular basis. For myself I found that when I had a large number of playlists on the iPod (basically everything in my library at the time) it was more likely to freeze when playing games or even moving around the menus so I cut down the number and complexity of those I put on the device which seemed to fix things.

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.

Why does my iphone 4s display the incorrect album artwork when a song is playing?

When I rotate my phone, it makes no difference what song is playing at any given time, the artwork and track list is incorrect. For example when I rotate my phone horizontally from a song list view or a album track list view the album artwork is diplayed on the left and the track listing is on the right. Additionally the pause button is at the bottom of the album cover. The problem is that iTunes is not diplaying the song and ablum that is currently playing. What is the solution?
The image below is what is diplayed when a track is playing. How did the iPhone select this ablum to display?

Thank you for your help but it did not solve the problem. My lyrics are working again though so that's good. Additionally iTunes has duplicated some of my albums. Some albums appear normally but those that are duplicated show the iCloud download next to it.

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.
