After failed backup album artwork/info is scrambled

After a failed backup when syncing my iPod Touch first Gen. (power failure during extended backup taking hours) my album artwork and sometimes the artist names are not with their proper songs. ie.: "Born Again" by Newsboys shows the Switchfoot album cover and is listed as "The Waiting," but still plays the song correctly.
I have already tried resyncing it to my Mac, and shutting down and resyncing. I have checked my iTunes and all of the original music info there is fine... just on my iPod is it all scrambled.
Please help. If I have to start over (again) I just might cry.
:B

I bought one new song on my computer, then re-sync'd... *four long hours later*, after it *completely reset the iPod*, it then put the info back in order.
However, it also meant that my Mail messages, my Address Book and every app was reset to the last saved reset. Had to redo everything to get it back.
_Take screenshots of your app pages_ of your iPod/iPhone and put them on your computer so that you can put the apps all back where you had them before you reset your iPod.

  • Films - Movies not Working or corrupted in iTunes after changing the  album artwork

    After trying to change the album artwork for some movies I own, I realized that such movie unplayable after such change and I cannot even revert what I have done. More, it seems like if you press on the "get info" section of the movie, you will notice that the artwork tab is gone and therefore, it’s like the movie is corrupted after changing the artwork. Any ideas? Has anyone encountered this before?

    Just checked and I have the updated itunes 8.0.1 with the poster frame problem.
    I finally found a fix for the movie album artwork problem.
    After realizing several movies had the same poster frame as one of the movies. I deleted the movie with the common poster frame which had been copied to other movies. The other poster frames changed on the other movies because they no longer had a reference to the file from which the poster frame was copied. So I copied the deleted movie back into itunes and then got to thinking that perhaps there is something else in common with the movies which displayed the same poster frame. I found that I had set the album field to the same title. So I changed the album field file by file, to something else. Then I set the poster frame after playing a few seconds of the video at a point where I wanted the frame set to the current frame. I got a film icon on the movie icon for a few seconds while it changed it. Sometimes I had to repeat selecting the different poster frames for each movie because it didn't take the first time... the second time I selected a different poster frame it was then set to the first poster frame that I selected. So now the movies which all had the same album "Aviation" now are all changed to "Flight Training" Of course, now the poster frames for those movies are all the same poster frame but at least they are correct for the type of movie.
    So if the album name is set to the same thing on several different movies they will all have the same poster frame.

  • Lost Notes App on iPad after failed backup and reset, how do i find them?

    I have lost very important notes from my Notes App on my iPad2 after a failed backup and reset. How do I find my lost notes? They do not appear to be backed up in my iCloud account or Gmail account.

    This happened to me too but it was really all there.  Go to your calendar, click on calendar in the upper left hand corner, click on show all calendars, click done in the right upper corner.  Everything should show up!!!
    I was super thrilled.  Hope this works for you!!

  • Recovering Lost iPhone Data After Failed Backup

    So my mother is somewhat technically challenged and has never backed up her iphone before.. Basically I told her to do so and get the newest software update but I think an error occurred during the backup procedure and she continued with the update/restore anyways. So she lost all of her data and is very sad . Is there any possible way to find the data either on the restored empty phone, or on the computer from the failed backup (maybe it made a corrupted file that we can fix?)
    Please help!
    Thanks!

    No, sorry.  Without a backup it is gone.  Did you backup to iCloud by chance?

  • Edit album/artwork info does not work

    I have added music to iTunes which does not have artwork, and for some reason the Album title is wrong.
    I select all songs from the album and right click "edit info".  In here I am able to make changes to title, as well as add artwork.  After I click OK, the changes are not applied.  I repeat several times, and still no changes occur.  I have been able to successfully do this in the past so I know exactly what I am doing.  For some reason with this latest version of iTunes (12.0.1.26) on Windows 8.1, this edit info function is not working for me any more.
    Any ideas on what might be wrong??

    There is a slim chance this user tip might help: Repair security permissions for iTunes for Windows.
    Otherwise it might be worth a complete rebuild of iTunes as outlined in the second box of Troubleshooting issues with iTunes for Windows updates.

  • Album artwork info and help

    Hi all,
    i have a question, when iTunes find itself album images, everything is ok, i transfer music on iPod and images are correctly displayed. Th e problems is when iTuns can't find it , so i find it by mysel, I select all the songs and from the information window i add the image.
    Now i have two questions: why these images added with the second method aren't transfered on iPod?
    Why iTunes added images are added in iTunes db (so i have One single image for all the records) and no space is occupupied by ten or more pictures as when i add them manually?
    I hope i've been clear..
    thanks
    bye
    p.

    Unless Itunes has the specific album or song then it can't download the artwork for it, so you need to find the artwork covers and then put them in manually. I rip my Cd's with windows media player 11 which adds in the art and then I use it to add to the albums in Itunes.
    Here is a link to explain how to add in artwork manually to songs or albums in itunes..

  • Is there a way to retrieve camera roll photos after failed backup

    I backed up my iphone 4 to itunes (not icloud) yesterday, and today i went to the apple store to see if they could fix a broken lock button. They issued me a new phone, and assured me that i woult be able to retrieve my camera roll photos after restoring my phone from backup. Everything restored to my phone EXCEPT the photos. Some of them are very important to me and i would like to know if there is a way to retreive all of the photos through my computer, phone or itunes. PLEASE help me.

    The Camera Roll photos should have restored, as they are part of the backup, unless you had a corrupted backup. Connect the phone, right click on it in iTunes, and choose Restore from Backup. If you are given a choice of backups choose one from before you replaced the phone.
    However, the Camera Roll is not intended as a permanent store for photos; they should be transferred to a photo app on your computer or Photo Stream frequently, to avoid the situation you are now facing.

  • Album artwork/info

    For the last little while there are some albums on iTunes that won't let me manually add artwork or change information, how do I get around this?  THey are all mp3's and can play o without a problem.

    No problem. I have had GREAT luck with this site. I had difficulty with only a few albums, and they were compilations. This site really is pretty good, and quality of the album art images is very good.
    Best of luck to all!

  • No more contacts on my iPhone 4 after failed Backup via iTunes while updating the device from 4.1 to 5.1.1. What to do to get the contacts back?

    The iTunes data on the computer my iPhone was firstly connected and configurated with has been deleted.
    I was looking for an opportunity to update my iPhone to the newest iOS software (since it was on 5.0) without erasing all
    the data saved on my mobile. But that time I did not know that all data will be erased when upgrading a device
    a complete version (like from 3.0 to 4.0 or 4.0 to 5.0) and then it happened. Several hundred business contacts of mine has
    been erased and cannot be reset. All functions except the phone/message contacts are unimportant now.
    MOST IMPORTANT: I connected my iPhone with a new MacBook, updated iTunes to 10.6.3 (current version) and synced my
    mobile with it. Data will be erased if updating on an unknown computer (for iOS device) where no data which are on my iPhone are saved.
    Unfortunately, the instructions at iTunes Support were helpless because during the important backup for resetting all datas has been
    interrupted with the following window:
    Backup not possible
    There are not enough space on the iPhone left to finish the backup.
    It has never continued and since then all data has been erased.
    I would be incredibly glad if anybody could give me at least a tip to do something.
    Now I am stucking in very serious trouble.
    Thanks so much in advance!

    So you have business contacts that were lost... do you not have these on a Database in some shape or form? Sounds like you need to invest in a RAID1 backup setup for your computer so you dont have this issue in the future.
    As for repairing your problem, sounds like you are going to need to start from scratch at this point or if the data is still on your phone look into a program that can take the information from the phone onto iTunes.

  • CD to iPod album artwork?

    Hi - this is my first time posting. I have a 5G iPod - the 30GB one. I have downloaded about 50 songs from iTunes and I like how it shows the album artwork on my iPod when I am playing it. I also downloaded a lot of music from CDs (like 1000 songs) when I first got the iPod a few months ago - but the album artwork for these does not display. I just tried (a few minutes ago while my iPod is charging attached to the computer) dragging them into that dotted line box in iTunes, but it didn't work. Is there anyway to get album artwork from CDs to display on your iPod - or does it just work for downloaded music from iTunes? Thanks so much for your help!
    HP   Windows XP  

    Thank you SO much - I will give that a shot - don't have time right now, but will try later tonight. I'll let you know how it goes! Thank you! I have my iPod set to manually download changes (since my husband puts some things in our Library that I don't want on my iPod) - will I have to manually re-download all the songs (after adding the album artwork in the Library) onto my iPod or will it automatically download that change? I don't want to end up with duplicated songs so I hesitate to redownload the songs, so I am hoping it will just update that change. Sorry for all the questions before I've even tried what you suggested - I really appreciate the help though!

  • Incorrect album artwork

    I had the wrong album title entered for a song and consequently got the wrong artwork.  The iTunes store carries the correct artwork for the album so I corrected the album title but still get the wrong artwork, even after selecting "get album artwork".  How can I fix?

    Yeah I hear you regarding the "feeding the fever". Some people cringe when I tell them how much I've downloaded from the iTMS. Some chuckle, some laugh, some people's jaw drop but the truth in the matter is that I spend no more on the iTMS then I used to spend on store bought albums. If I divide how much I've spent on the iTMS by how many months I've been downloading (June 2003) it comes out to just over $34.00 a month (the price of a couple albums in the store). That is not taking into consideration free songs from Pepsi caps, savings from buying albums (you usually get more than 10 songs on an album) and it's not counting other free songs such as "Downloads of the Week" etc... I'm also getting songs I want by picking and choosing rather than going to the store and purchasing an entire album where you may only like a maximum of a few songs from that particular album. I think I'm still coming out a head. Best of all I haven't downloaded a song illegally in nearly 3 years!

  • Album artwork disappeared after an iTunes error... how can I get I back?

    I've been using iTunes for years and out of a clear blue sky I get this error message, "iPhone cannot be synced because the sync session failed to start." After trying a few different things I find a fix that works- turn my iPhone all the way off and then turn it back on. Then when I added a new mp3 song to my iTunes Library and tried to sync it to my phone, the album artwork refused to show up on my phone even though it shows in iTunes. Nothing I did to fix it worked. I tried to add another mp3 song. Same problem. Then as I tried the various 'fixes' I read about here in Apple Support Communities, it made my problem worse! At first only the two new mp3 songs I added were missing album artwork. Now half of the songs I purchased from iTunes are missing album artwork! To add to that, many of the songs that have album artwork at all have the wrong artwork.
    Stuff that didn't work:
    Erasing all the music on my phone and resyncing made it worse
    My manually added album artwork is already ID3 tagged v2.4
    I have never checked the box that converts higher bitrate songs
    Manually adding artwork and using iTunes' "get album artwork" feature
    Restoring iPhone from a backup
    I am using a MacBook Pro with OS X Snow Leopard version 10.6.8.
    I have iOS 6.1.4 on my iPhone 5 and I have not updated anything for the past two months.
    PLEASE HELP.

    You dont have this:
    Check your iTunes > Preferences... (or in Windows iTunes: Edit > Preferences...) > General tab > is Books checked?

  • Most of my album artwork is missing after updating to iOS 5

    I just updated my iPod Touch 4G to iOS 5 and now all my album artwork is missing. What should I do?
    Is there a way to get back the album art in my iPod?
    Can Apple fix this problem?

    Have a similar situation; album art was all there (added the correct way in iTunes) and I Manually Sync my 4G Touch. After the iOS5 update, I ‘Dragged & Dropped’ one Smart-Playlist to the Touch and then lost 80% of the Album Art on the Touch. What really is upsetting, the Art is there. Dock the iPod and iTunes show’s the Art listed and within ‘Get Info’ for the iPod.
    This need to STOP, more then 10 years of using iPod without this problem and in the last two months had to reload 3-times already since getting the 4G Touch; great loss of time with a 64G. Add a Warning! or something. Maybe it’s an issue with iTunes 10.5.0.142, OS-Win-7?
    UPDATE: for this scenario, I think the Art got corrupted by older Art listed in iTunes. When I fixed the 1st occurrence of missing Art, I only fixed what was on the iPod to save time (only 30% bad) and then when I ‘Sync’ed’ a Playlist from iTunes, 80%  of Art then got corrupted. There are trade-off’s to both Auto and Manual Syncing. Like I said; “a Warning! would be nice” OR how about “Asking”; “Do You Wish To Overwrite The Existing Art?”

  • Deleting album artwork from Itunes 6 after upgrading to Itunes 7

    I recently upgraded to Itunes 7, and I want to delete some of my album artwork that I added in Itunes 6. I backed up my entire library and imported it into Itunes 7 after I installed it. Some of my album artwork consists or low-res clipart, and I want to update my entire library with new album artwork. When I choose "get album artwork", Itunes doesn't update my music with the new artwork. I also tried the "get info" submenu, and there isn't any artwork listed in the window, though it shows the artwork in the album srcolling window. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

    This info is included in the song tag, you have to edit the individual song tag to change the artwork. To do this, right click on the song with bad artwork, then choose the first option "get info". A box will open, click on the artwork tab (you may have several pieces or artwork here--delete the ones you don't like. It's possible the good art you want will be one of the choices. Make sure this appears first in the list and then you'll see it in iTunes. If you need to add the artwork, click the add button and browse/find the artwork you want to add.
    Hope this helps!

  • Ipad 2 lost music album artwork after ios 5

    ipad 2 lost music album artwork after ios 5 upgrade. After the first Sync, 90% of my albums had blank covers.

    I had the same starting with taking 3 times synchronisation before my music library was visible on the Ipad-2. Though during synchronisation I saw the tracks being updating, they were nowhere to find . After a manual sync through devices->NNNipad->music and checking the entire music libary, I got my music libary back with the exception of roughly 10% of the artwork was not transferred. It is not related to manual added artwork as most of them are correctly transfered.
    Checking the through info on the albums I found the following issue:
    In the past i_tunes kept the artwork related to the album, now it keeps it attached to the several tracks. So when in I-tunes right clicking an album and selecting "info" you will find no artwork there. But when selecting a track and right clicking it (choose again "info" here it is you will find the artwork. The missing artwork in iOS5 is related to the fact that in the library on my computer the albums had artwork, but the tracks were not showing it. Adding again (with i-tunes 10.5) the artwork and re-sincing solved the problem for me.
    I hope this will help you, Hedzer
