Try unchecking "display album artwork" in the music preferences section when your iPod is connected and click "apply". Then sync your ipod.
Then check "display album artwork" in the music preferences section when youd iPod is connected and click "apply". Then sync your ipod again.
This should resync the album artwork to the iPod.
If this does not work, you might need to restore the iPod and reload the songs in order to correct this error.

Album Art Not Syncing Correctly!!!!

Howdy! I really need help with my brand new iPod Touch! The album art doesnt sync correctly!!! What do I do to fix it?!?!?!?!?!?!1

Album art not displaying correctly

Help! I hate that my album art is displaying incorrectly. I have podcast covers on album and music albums on podcasts. What is really strange is if I have a rental movie on some of my songs display stills from that film!?
What can I do to rectify this?

Tried this and it does not work. I don't think there should be a problem, but there are two albums that have the same name from different artists. The artwork for the other artist with the same album title is displaying.
I am also running synergy 3.0 and it displays the correct album art. When I try to import that correct art into itunes, it does not replace the wrong artwork.

Album art not matching correctly between iTunes and iPhone.

So as much as this might not seem as an issue for some, I notice that my album artwork in iTunes does not always match up with the album art on my phone. If I think that some artwork for a song or album is unappealing or not matching, I will change it to my own artwork. Normally, this has never been an issue for me until recently. What happens is I do the normal album art changing procedure (go to get info, add/delete album art) and it works fine. The odd thing is that when I go to select an album on my phone, the album art is the same as what it was in the iTunes Store and not what I added, but the individual songs have the album art that I added myself.
I've managed to fix this issue on some albums by converting them mp3 format, but that only works for some and I don't know why. I would prefer the song art and album art be the same, just because I'm really nitpicky about things matching. Am I missing a step or doing something wrong? Does anyone else happen to have this issue, or any clue what the problem might be? Help would be much appreciated, thanks!

What you are trying to do is clear but iTunes Match / IOS 6 does not work that way.
You can sync playlists from computer to iDevice using the options under the music tab for your iDevice on the computer. This will provide a local copy on the iDevice of each Song included in each Playlist selected for sync.
With iTunes Match / IOS 6, as Songs are played from the iCloud (ie not those already downloaded in playlists) IOS 6 does in fact 'download' the Song to a local cache. In theory this cache should be managed by IOS 6 such that it does not overload your iDevice memory - Apple have not chosen to share exactly how this operates.
Given your notes above would suggest starting from a refresh restore on the iPhone 5 with all synchronisation performed afresh and iTunes Match switched on.

Album Art not working

Ever since I've got gotten my iPod Nano, there have been troubles displaying the album art. I've worked through some of them, and other's I've just let go. This morning I realized that none of my album art was showing up. Both art that I've gotten through iTunes, and those that I've had to put in manually. They all show up in my iTunes library. I've tried checking and unchecking the 'Display Album Artwork' multiple times, and every time iTunes tells me there was an error and my iPod can't be synced. >:< I also get music from my brother's iTunes library on a different computer, and that's not showing up either. I am figuring there is something wrong with my iPod rather than both computers.

is your ipod set to update manually? if so, you have to go into the ipod in itunes and put the album art in there, not in the music library. some songs though, won't show album art at all...i have no clue why.

Album view not working correctly

I just bought two albums via the Store (first two albums by Men At Work). Whenever I view them, iTunes insists on separating the first track from all the other tracks. (It does this in all three viewing modes - List, Grid, or Cover Flow.)
The albums themselves are organized as they should be...iTunes isn't actually separating the albums, only the viewing of them. (Meaning, if I play the first track, then let it go, it'll go on to the second track, just like any other album.) What's going on? How can I stop iTunes from doing this?
Also, in List mode, iTunes only does this when I tell it to show the Artwork column. Why would it do this? The album art itself is exactly the same for all tracks.
Neither of these are compilations, BTW. Also, the tracks all have exactly the same name for the artist, album artist, etc. (Believe me, I checked that too.)

Did you look at One album, still too many covers? Select all the tracks from one of the albums, change the Artist & *Album Artist* to *Men At WorkX* and add a trailling X to the Album title. On the Sorting tab put ticks against the *Sort Artist*, *Sort Album Artist* & *Sort Album* boxes then click OK to apply the changes. This should merge the album into one entity. Now put back the back the correct values and the album should stay joined up.

Drag and drop album art not working / iTunes 7.0.1.8 & WinXP SP2

Drag and dropping album art isn't working for me after upgrading to iTunes 7 in WinXP SP2. Anyone else experience this problem?
Update: Drag and drop works from a webpage but not from Windows explorer or Windows Picture & Fax Viewer.

You only need an iTunes account to automatically get artwork. Usually artwork for CDs you import yourself is gotten from somewhere else. I tend to use allmusic.com. Occasionally I will have to use google to find the artwork though.
Have never tried to add artwork from anywhere but a webpage though.

Album sync not working correct

Hello everybody,
i use the Photos app since the first Beta and i think that there is potential to be a good App. (IOS really needs the possibility to delete only the local picture an not the one in the include )
Now i updated to the new Yosemite and try to sync the pictures from iCloud. Everything works fine, except my albums.
My Albums are sorted like this:
- Cars
-- Car 1
-- Car 2
-People
-- People 1
-- People 2
-Meeting
-- Meeting 1
-- Meeting 2
- Events
-- Event 1
-- Event 2
On my iphone everything works fine. I See all picture an albums.
On Photos first everything was fine but suddenly after a restart all Albums were gone. I tried to sync them into a new library but all i got was maybe 1/3 of my albums like this:
- Cars
-- Car 1
-- Car 2
-People
-- People 1
-- People 2
All pictures are synced right...
It was the second time now that they gone and i really don't want to tag the faces and the Albums new all the time
hope somebody can help me...
Hope somebody can help
greets
Rigo
P.S. I have a backup library... maybe i can copy the album/faces files from there ?
EDIT:
The Photos.App shows that everything is up to date (Albums still not shown)

Good luck. I had duplicate albums created also, but am also missing a lot of pictures which do not sync over to other devices or to the web based Photos. I have deleted the Photo library and forced it to import from iPhoto a second time, but the same pictures are missing and have even more duplicate albums. Fortunately I am not doing this with my primary photo library so I can just delete everything and go back to iPhoto.

Movies on photo album page not working correctly

I have movies on some photo album pages, and only since updating to Snow Leopard, when I click on a movie, the sound begins to play, but the picture sticks on the poster frame. If I go "back to album" and click the movie again, it will usually play normally. What gives? Anyone else have this happening?

I have a similar problem with movies. Put a movie made on the iphone into a space holder place on a Blog page. Got the green plus sign and it played on the page.
After publishing I see the first frame on the main blog page, but when I click read more to see the movie and whole blog entry I get a faded quicktime symbol with a question mark symbol in the middle.

Album Art not showing up?

Has anyone else had a problem with their album art not showing up in coverflip? These are all CD's that I own and ripped onto my computer with iTunes, and if I look at them in iTunes I can see the cover art. But when I turn my ipod sideways to flip through the albums, I see a bunch of black squares. Some of the albums I can see the artwork when it's not the selected album, but if I scroll to it, the art disappears and it's just an empty black square. The only albums where this seems to work properly are the ones I bought and downloaded digitally through iTunes, but most of my music collection is CD's, so I'm really hoping there's a way to fix this.
I've already tried googling pictures of the album art and re-tagging the songs with the picture on there, and it does do a sync afterwards, but I'm still seeing black squares. I also tried deleting one of the albums from my ipod entirely, and reloading it, and that worked the first time I went into coverflip, but in subsequent tries it has reverted back to being just a black square.

use the search discussions box. there are loads of threads on this. you definitely aren't alone
the only real solution i've seen is to re-sync the problem tracks, i've probably missed some though, so it's worth looking around.

1st Gen iPod touch not working correctly?

I have a 1st generation 8GB iPod Touch. It's not working correctly.
My biggest problem is that, unexplaiably, certain areas of the screen don't seem to register touch anymore. There is a sort of "L" shape on the left and bottom edges of the screen that won't register touch, making it impossible to move applications to the previous page on the home screen and making it hard to use the keyboard/buttons while in portrait mode. It's extremely frustrating to try to change the volume while playing a song, as I now have to either put the iPod in sleep mode then double tap the home button or flip it to cover flow and double tap the home button to do it.
http://i38.photobucket.com/albums/e140/Vipershark/IMG_0001.png
(Highlight the image to see it better.)
This is a screenshot of the working/non-working areas that I made using the Whiteboard application. The white area that you see (excluding the little half circles of black which are extended brush strokes and not actually working areas) is the area that doesn't work. I can't seem to figure out why it happened, as I've never dropped or otherwise damaged it. It just happened one day, and I don't know why.
But I can't fix it. I've tried everything. Upgrading (I'm now running iPhone OS 3.0 which still didn't fix the problem.) didn't work, restoring didn't work, deleting everything and restoring from factory settings didn't work.
I'm also having a few other problems as well, though they're not as bad. My home button seems to stop working sometimes and sometimes the entire screen witll stop registering touch until I put the iPod to sleep and turn it back on. It also seems to go a lot slower than usual.
My iPod is less than a year old. Can you help?

Vipershark,
I had a very similar problem this past weekend with my 1G 8GB iPod touch. But with me, just the left side of the screen wasn't registering my touch. I could still access the bottom section, which you cannot.
The good news for me is that I fixed it and I hope it works for you as well. What fixed it for me was resetting all my settings. To do this, go to the settings icon, then click on general, and then on the very bottom is reset. Choose "reset all settings."
Apparently this is different than a restore through iTunes, which you tried. I also tried that earlier and it did not help.
Of course, the reset solution I used relies on you being able to access all of the correct buttons, so I hope you can!
Please let us know if this works for you. If not, since it is less than a year old, it is still under warranty. Contact Apple and see what they can do.

Podcast Get Info Album Art Not Saved for Future Episodes

I have iTunes 8. I noticed most of my podcasts have album art showing in grid view. When I upgraded to 2.1 on my iPhone and synced my iPhone I noticed no album art on the podcast main page on the iPhone. I decided to restore the phone to a new phone not backup and the new sync of my podcasts showed album art. However inside each podcast the album art wasn't showing on each episode.
Looking at iTunes for those affected episodes doing a Get Info showed not album art. I guess the podcast doesn't have album art. I right click on the podcast, not an episode, and select get info. I click on the album art box and check the box and inside the album art box double click which brings up a navigation display. I had already taken a screen shot of the album art in the iTunes music store for each podcast. I import the graphic to the album art box and save. All the current episodes have their artwork updated. Now I sync to the iPhone and all is well.
If I download a new episode for this podcast and do a Get Info on this episode there is no artwork. Looking at the Get Info for the podcast the artwork was never saved. However if you change a text field in Get Info and then download a new podcast episode that text field in the get info of the episode is updated. Why doesn't the album art not get saved and update each episode that is downloaded with missing album art?
Am I missing something?
Thanks
Kelvin

Yeah, on my iPhone some of the album art for my podcasts was actaully changed to an arbitrary incorrect image. For example, instead of the Cranky Geeks logo, I get to look at New Kids on the Block (don't ask). I'm going to try unsubscribing from the podcast, deleting past episodes from my computer, sync the phone so it wipes out those old episodes and incorrect art, and then resubscribing and resyncing the phone. Hopefully that will transfer the correct art back up to the phone.

Cover Flow Album Art Not Appearing

Hi!
I have a large Itunes library and before the 7.3.1 update all of my album art was appearing correctly in both the "Now Playing" box and in cover flow. Since I have installed the 7.3.1 version of iTunes, alot of album art is appearing in the "Now Playing" box but NOT in cover flow. This is only for a select few (40+ albums), and the rest are fine
Can any help me out this with this?
Thanks!
Powerbook 17', OS X, ITunes7.3.1, External HD Mac OS X (10.4.10) Iphone attached

They are all still there!
7.3 is broken.
I replaced it with 7.2 and all is well until they fix the problem. This list is full of this problem!

Installing art when "Album Art Not Modifiable"

I was recently trying to drag and drop album artwork into the iTunes photo receptacle in the lower left hand corner and noticed that it read "Album Art Not Modifiable". Does that mean I can't paste anything there? There's no art at all currently, even when I ask iTunes to find the album art for that CD. If anyone knows of a way to override this, I'd appreciate it. Thank you.

Is that really true?
'Cause being new to this, I've only just added a few albums as .wav and succesfully downloaded album art, using the functionality within Itunes. And this should not have been possible?For instance Loretta Lynn "Van Lear Rose", Emmylou Harris "Stumble into grace" and Elvis Costello/Burt Bacharach "Painted from Memory" all worked just fine. But Itunes was not able to download album art for all my albums - Simply Red "Greatest Hits" from 1996 was one that did not work. So I browsed the internet and was able to find jpegs of this album art, which I know have stored locally. But how do I get that into Itunes?
brgds,
Linus

Songs Won't Play, Album Art Not Modifiable, ID3 Tags, Need Help

I have a 32 GB iPod Touch, Windows Vista, the latest version of iTunes and Quicktime as well as the latest iPod software.
I noticed the other day that a bunch of my songs were missing album art. I have a library with almost 7,000 songs and I have album art for everything. I went to the songs to attempt to fix the album art and noticed that it said, Album Art Not Modifiable, in the Album Art preview screen. I thought that was weird and it wouldn't let me add new album art to these albums.
I also noticed that none of these songs would play. They wouldn't play on my iPod or on iTunes. You can click play and it looks like it's going to play, but the counter never leaves "0".
I thought something was wrong with my files and that I would have to re rip or download the songs. However, by chance I opened one of the songs in Window Media Player and it worked, so I knew the files were fine.
I did a search online and found several people with the same problem and a few things to try. But nothing worked until I stumbled upon a solution of setting the ID3 tags to version "None", then setting them to version 2.4. I tried it and it worked.
But now it keeps happening, I get a new group of albums every day that won't play.
Can anyone tell me what is causing this?
How do I prevent it?
Do I really need to take every song in my library and change the ID3 tags, that could take forever?
Could anyone please help and shed some light on this.
Thank You

Thanks for replying, Please read our Operating System details before taking a guess about what 'could' be the problem...
I think I figured it out anyway, Windows Media Player might be adding extra information that iTunes does not like, either Windows Media Player and/or iTunes 7.7.1 don't conform to ID3 v2.4 standards...
Please fix your software, Apple. I know how you love to be unique and mock PC users with your one-sided advertisements but at least conform to the ID3 standards.
