Album Art is ticking me off!!

Ok...one day I wanted to apply some album photos to a lot of my songs because they didn't have any. So I did the whole thing with the "Get Info" and copy and pasted the pictures and all that. The album photos showed up on my iTunes when I clicked "Get Info", but when I unplugged my iPod and listened to it, the photos weren't showing up! I read a couple of these topics about my problem, and did what was suggested. I checked and unchecked the option for "Display album artwork on your iPod", but when I checked that option after unchecking it, I got an error message!!! It said this..."The iPod 'Ethan's iPod' cannot be updated. An unknown error occured (-50)." SOMEONE PLEASE HELP ME THIS IS REALLY ANNOYING!! Thanks!

Album art is 1 song off after itunes match

Ever since I signed up for iTunes Match, the album art is 1 song off on the TV display. The song info is correct but the album art is from the previous song. I have rebooted the Apple TV several times to no avail. The correct album art is shown on the Apple TV menu screen brfore the screen saver kicks in and displays the wrong album art. Any ideas.

Deleting only album art or leaving it off of iPod?

Is there a way to delete all of your album art or just leave if off of the iPod (preferable) when transfering your music from iTunes. I am trying to maximize space and prioritize music on a very full iPod. Thanks.

Connect your iPod to the computer. Change the settings for music management on the iPod so that album artwork are not shown on iPod (uncheck the box)

Stuck on album art

here is a true story about me and my ipod:
once upon a time, a girl went for a run. She took her iPod with her. When she stopped at an intersection, she looked at the album art of a new song. When she pressed the center button the album art went a way off one side of the screen and came back instead of the song information. she changed the playlist, the song, and the artist. None of this had any effect. now she is very sad and wondering why album art is all she sees.
questions
Why did the ipod only display album art from that minute forth?
How does the girl fix the ipod so she doesn't always see album art?

Try a reset. It cures many ills and nothing is lost
Reset iPod touch: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.

Podcast screwed my album art...

Ok. Yesterday, every one of my 233 songs had artwork. And everything was fine.
Last night, I "subscribed" to a podcast and downloaded some episodes.
But, today, artwork is gone on some of my songs, and I thought "display album art" must be checked off.
And..luckly, it was. However, after I checked it on, the same songs still have no artwork.

Sorry. This is just an obnoxious bump, but I would really like to know why this is happening.

Album art does not show on iPod

Only the album art from Apple Store purchase is showing up on my iPod. Any art that I imported to iTunes for my own cd's does not show on the iPod. Some of the art came from the Apple "get album art" some I got off the net.
I have iPod v1.2.
Thanx for any thoughts

Try to disable album art on your iPod, then sync it,
then enable artwork again, sync it again and it
should be okay...assuming all the album art appears
in iTunes.
I've had this same problem and it's worked for me.
I manually add songs onto my Ipod and then delete them from Itunes.
Wouldn't syncing my Ipod erase all the songs that are currently on it only adding what is currently in my Itunes Library?

Syncing Issues: album art, cut-off songs

I have a 16GB iPod Touch that I've been syncing with my Windows Vista PC, seemingly without complications. It has only recently come to my attention that somewhere between my computer's library and my library on my iPod, something is messing up at random times. Full songs will become half-songs, 30-second songs, on the iPod. They are not damaged on my PC, but when they get uploaded to the iPod, they get messed up. If I re-upload them, sometimes the problem goes away, sometimes it cuts in a different spot. This is immensely frustrating, as I do not know how to fix it or what is causing it to begin with.
More recently I have discovered that all the work I have done organizing my library and getting everything to have album covers is wasted when I try to put these albums on my Touch. The album covers entirely disappear, and I have to copy and paste them in, which takes about five minutes per album (slow write speed?). Seems pretty lame to have a product focused on the ability to flip through albums visually, and then have the album art not automatically download with my music.
Any help?

I finally have the fix for this issue after a month of extensive debugging, experimentation, etc. on Windows Vista. I've reinstalled my whole **** computer twice, and Apple's phone support is a (bad) joke. They should just send me the script they use so I can read it myself.
First off, let's establish the symptoms of this problem:
* Data sync'ed to my iPod Touch would corrupt at random points. Sometimes songs would go through intact. Other times they would "glitch" partway through and the device would advance to the next song. Video files of a sufficient size -- like movies and T.V. episodes -- ALWAYS glitch at some point, which crashes the video playback and brings the device back to the video menu.
* Periodically, the iPod Touch would corrupt completely, which required a total firmware restoration. Rarely, these firmware restorations would also fail.
Now for the solution. It's a two-part deal:
1) Stop "Windows Search." It's not the major cause of sync problems, but it is a contributor, which is unsurprising given the amount of resources it hogs. Open the "Services" control panel item (Control Panel->System and Maintenance->Administrative Tools->Services, or just type "services.msc" into the "search" box on the Start Menu) and double-click "Windows Search." Click "stop" and set the startup type to "disabled," then click "OK."
2) This next part is going to be a bitter pill to swallow. When Microsoft launched Vista, it created a new "security feature" called PatchGuard which disallows direct kernel access to third-party applications. Antivirus vendors like McAfee, Symantec, Avast, etc. all have to use a kernel API rather than direct kernel access. However, Microsoft's own antivirus product -- Windows Live OneCare -- has complete access to the kernel without an API.
This appears to have created a weird situation with iTunes. I have reinstalled my system twice, both with 32-bit and 64-bit versions of Vista, and it seems that merely having a third-party antivirus product installed is sufficient to cause this problem. I've tried Avast, McAfee, Symantec and TrendMicro's products. The problem will not go away even if you turn off scanning, put in exceptions, etc. With Avast, I even terminated all of its processes and stopped its services. No dice. Just having a third-party antivirus product installed -- EVEN IF IT IS NOT RUNNING -- will cause this issue.
However, the second you UNINSTALL your third-party antivirus software, the problem goes away -- every time. I've sync'ed movies over and over again to test this, and it's definitely the primary source of the problem.
Obviously, running without antivirus software in this day and age is unacceptable, but there is one product that's free from this problem; in fact, it's the only product that still has direct kernel access. I'm running Windows Live OneCare on a 90-day trial right now, and after running more tests, I've confirmed my hypothesis. Any antivirus product with direct kernel access is fine. The problem is that Windows Live OneCare is the ONLY antivirus product right now with direct kernel access.
If you're running Windows Vista 32-bit, there may possibly be a second antivirus option. My Windows Vista-based gaming laptop uses Computer Associates' AV product, and it's never had a problem syncing with my iPod. I haven't really tested other products on it, though, so your mileage may vary. I can't say for certain that it's a safe bet.
So there you have it: one month of my nights and weekends down the toilet to fix an issue Apple and Microsoft should be handling. I feel like I've paid $500 for the privilege of being an unpaid Apple Q.A. tester. At this point, they should pay ME for the time I've wasted on this issue.

How do I turn off the album art in ios 7 iphone?

How do I turn off the album art in itunes on my iphone with ios 7?
I want to turn it off because it is not aesthetically pleasing and it makes the scroll list really long by pushing the title text further apart.
A few of the albums have the wrong artwork, which will push me over the edge. I don't want to fix the artwork. I just don't want the artwork.
Please tell me how I can turn it off.
Thanks,
Doug

No album art in off-line mode with spotify app version 1.0.0.3251

The iOS developer team is aware of the problems with album art.
Hopefully they will be fixed in the next update. Please be patient until then. I know it's annoying to wait so long.

I just upgraded my iphone spotify app to version 1.0.0.3251. With this version album art is not shown when listening in off-line mode. Extremely dissappointing, hoping this is just a bug and will be corrected soon. If not, how can i go back the the previous version of the app? My Iphone is a 3GS running the latest iOS release for that model which is 6.1.6.
[Mod edit - Dec. 8, 2014]
Hello everyone. Spotify 2.1.0 has been released to the App Store as of this morning. We believe this issue to be fixed in this latest version. Please post here to let us know if the problem persists.

How to turn off album art?

Guys, I'd appreciate your help.
Is there any way for me to turn off album art for an entire playlist? For example, the playlist has about 500 songs and some of them have album art, while some don't. I'd like to turn it off for those who don't, but there's too many songs to go step by step. Is there any way to do this in one go?

If you don't want to view artwork in iTunes then choose the List view instead of the Grid or Cover Flow views. In iTunes go to View>as List or click on the List view button, it's the third one in from the right beside the Search box. There's no specific view of playlists regardless of which library view you are using the playlists are visible in the Source pane. If you have a lot of playlists you might want to organise them using playlist folders: Organizing playlists into folders-Mac

Turning off album art (iPod 7th gen 160GB)

How can I turn off the album art? I do not want to see it.

Hello kerseymere,
And welcome to Apple Discussions!

As of iTunes 9, you can no longer disable the option to "include album artwork" for your iPod under its Summary tab and there is no way to turn it off on the iPod itself. Sorry. About the only work around would be to remove all album artwork from each track in iTunes, then sync the updated changes to your iPod.
Perhaps make this suggestion to Apple through the Classic feedback form.

Album art disappeared off iPod! Won't go back on! Please help-

This is frustrating beyond belief! Anyway, this is how it went down:
I was updating & synching my iPod (the new iPod video version, 80GB) as usual. Bored, I was looking around in the different tabs while I waited. On the music tab, I saw a check box that said "Display album artwork on you iPod" and it was unchecked. Confused by this, as my album art had always shown up before, I figured I might as well check it just in case to keep my album art ON my iPod. :O Seemed like an okay idea at the time, but the second I clicked "Apply" my iPod started synching with the message "Deleting Album Artwork from iPod" (or something basically like that". I was like HOLY CRAP that's not what I wanted (more like exactly the opposite...), so I clicked "Cancel" but the darn thing continued and finished anyway. Turning on my iPod, I found that indeed all my album art was gone and all my text was center justified, as if it had never existed. (While it's all still there in my Library, displaying just fine~)
So I figured I better uncheck that box (even though it was called "Display album artwork" in the first place) and try to undo what had just happened. I did and on the next synch, it said something like "Optimizing Album Artwork for iPod" and I thought YAY. Maybe it's going back on. But the synch lasted only a few minutes (not seeming long enough for 4,000+ songs worth of artwork to get on there) and, again, when I turned my iPod back on the album artwork was STILL not back on, this time my text being completely left justified (like there SHOULD be artwork) but there was nothing else there...
I've always been a stickler for my library, making sure all my albums are organized and have artwork (often making my own when I can't find it) and I will be VERY upset if I can't figure out a way to get it to display on my iPod again!!! TT__TT I'm so sad. Now both checking or unchecking that box that started this in the "Music" tab do absolutely nothing, and nothing seems to put my artwork back on. Please, if anybody can suggest anything, I would be SO grateful... (Restoring the iPod is the only other thing I can think of [it's software is completely up to date[ and I really don't have the time for that right now.)

Sounds very weird and talk about unintended results ...
By the by restoring the ipod is not a bid deal (although takes some time).
How about this (have not tried it) and assuming you still have artwork on your music library in itunes. Turn on manual synch mode once the ipod is connected. You should see the list of songs you actually have on the ipod. Delete every song and synch (I know, it will take time since you have 4000 + songs). and then turn back automatic synch and re-synch. May be once in manual mode, you could try re-synchinig only a portion of your library to see if it works That's the best I can think of.
