Album art screwed up how to fix?

In preparation for getting an iPhone I installed iTunes 7.7 pointed it at my music directory (that Media Player 11 in Vista is using it, but with the "allow iTunes to organise directory" option off).
I told it to add all files in that directory and skip the WMAs just to see what it was like as I have some unprotected mp3s. It some how picked up some album art from some where (auto-download is off) but it looked all blurry - probably due to low res - so I right-click and tell it to download artwork and this does nothing, (on those missing artwork I got a nice good quality image). So I find a decent quality image on Google and try and paste it into the mini artwork viewer in the bottom left - which even had a paste option - but it doesn't update.
Please help how to get it to use newer artwork?
I've tried deleting the contents of the itunes/artwork folder but that didn't help.

Hi,
This is my British Keyboard layout
This is the same Layout using the ALT (OPTION) key as the Modifier.
This is the asme keyboard using just the Shift key
The layout tends to be referred to a QUERTY layout and is the common part of most Western European based langauges (as far as I am away and to the places those languages are now found)
From your first post it would appear that you have a AZERTY layout chosen.
See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AZERTY
From the Map on that page it would appear that you are listing the French option as the main choice.
From the System Preferences > Keyboard > Input Sources
It tends to show Upper case but it seems to fit with your first post.

Album Art Screwed Up

I have all of the correct album art set-up. All of the names and info is right. The album art is correct on the computer, however, when I go to my iTouch, the album art is messed up. It is taking other art from other albums and putting it in random other albums. it is also taking iMix art, even after the iMix has been deleted, and using it for album art. If I try to go in and erase and put in the correct art on my computer, it will fix that one album, but four other ones will have messed-up art. Any idea on how to help?

You need to re-build the artwork index on the Touch, which requires you to either delete all music and re-add it, or better yet, Restore the Touch and re-load your last backup (which also deletes music and re-adds it). This happens on occasion and is a nuisance, but an easy one to fix.

Album art screwing up

Every time I download/buy something from the store through iTunes it will screw over half the album art up. If I download/purchase it through my ipod it doesn't mess anything up. The only way I have found to fix the problem is to restore the ipod, but that is getting old very fast. I have restored it 3 times today alone. and another 5 times since Sunday. There has to be another way to fix the problem. If there isn't then I have a 2nd gen iPod Touch for sale.

Hello Everyone,
Just a quick update regarding this problem. I have NOT solved this issue, and it seems that it is becoming worse. At this very minute, I am looking at my iPod that is plugged into the Apple Dock, plugged into the USB port of my Inspiron, and artwork that was complete (showing the full image of the artwork) just MOMENTS before, is now showing the same half-screen artwork.
I had listened to this song, while plugged into the dock, then decided to sync to put the newest podcast on my iPod, then upon returning to play the song again (in a playlist) the artwork is now corrupt.
PLEASE. If anyone with any insight to this problem knows of any way to stopthis from happening, or even to fix it, PLEASE let me know.

Sometimes when I move music from my iTunes library to my iPod I get incorrect album art. Any known causes/fixes?

Sometimes when I move music (typically an album) from iTunes to my iPod I get incorrect album artwork on the iPod. Is this a known issue with the iPod classic and are there any fixes other than a complete restore and sync of the iPod?

You can manually manage or you can sync by playlist/artist/album/genre/checked songs.
Maybe you should read the manual:

How do I add my own Album art???

When I click on a album in iTunes (which has the artis name, song name, and album name) sometimes it says album art cant be found. Yet I see recommended songs to buy from iTunes on the right that displays the album art for the same album!! Well, I can easily download the album art myself, but how do I tag an album with my on album art I've downloaded myself? Thank you.

in iTunes, you have two options:
1) individual tracks
right-click and +get info+ on the file, go to the artwork tab and click on add. navigate to the image file on your HD. or, drag the image file into that artwork window.
2) multiple items
select them all in iTunes, +get info+, copy the image out of Safari or Preview, click once into the artwork box and paste the image into it. or, drag the image file into the artwork box.

How do I get the album art to display on the Ipod?

When I completed my first upload of songs to my ipod, the Ipod was displaying album art images. After my second upload of songs, I no longer have album art images. How can I get these images restored?

You can try your 5 R's, and make sure that you have the latest iPod updater and iTunes, that'd be my next suggestion.
Or, you can try:
-Go to iPod options (click iPod on the iTunes source list, click iPod icon on bottom right)
-Uncheck "Display Album Artwork"
-Update iPod
-Go back to iPod options
-Check "Display Album Artwork"
-Update iPod

Some album art not displaying

I have the 80gb model and recently I did that thing where you erase all the album art and reload it to fix some that were showing up as black boxes. But then I found that now a good chunk of my album art won't display at all. For those songs all the song data instead of being centered is right justified but there's no album art. I narrowed it down and I found that this is only happening to art where I pasted the art into the song data. I would really like to know how I can get this fixed without having to redo all of my album art.
I did already try doing a reset but that didn't help.

I have the 120 GB iPod Classic. Some artwork was not illustrated, only a black square was showing.
I solved the problem as follows:
With iPod connected to PC, select all the songs of the affected album. Right click to obtain "Get Info" for the complete album. The artwork panel should be blank, so click the box beside artwork panel. Press "OK". This will put a blank &, more importantly, clear the defective/corrupted artwork in the iPod.
Repeat the process, select all the songs of the affected album, Right click to obtain "Get Info", then paste the good artwork into the panel. Click all the boxes of all relevant data & press "OK". The good artwork will be entered. You can disconnect the iPod from the PC to check that the artwork is now showing correctly. This worked for me on a number of albums which had the black square showing.
Good Luck

Duplicated, triplicated album art

My itunes library consists of itunes purchases, CD rips, and P2P downloads. When looking at the coverflow or album art view, some of the songs from the same album have artwork for each song. So If I have 2 songs from an album I will have 2 instances of that album art in album art view. How do I fix this?

I'm with the last poster on this one - this is ANNOYING
For some reason you end up with multiple albums of the same album in coverflow. If you select the cover it will highlight one song in your library, the other image (in the case of duplicates) is associated (usually) with all other instances of that album in your library. If you check the album art for the one song, using get info, you will often find nothing - which suggests that the album art (and this happens with that art downloaded by iTunes when you already have the correct art in place) is associated with some tag found elsewhere, i.e. outside the iTunes interface/access.
I have "selected all" tracks, renamed and confirmed album, artist, track, year etc (you have to be quite careful as even an errant "space" trailing in a name will generate a second album of course) but to no avail - again, suggesting that their is a different IDE tag associated with this one "duplicate" album cover which is NOT the title, year, etc (the usual difference problems).
I'd appreciate any suggestions on how to remedy this...

When backing up songs to a CD, will it save the Album Art?

One of the BEST advancements to iPod and iTunes has been the Album art.
But how do we save album art to a back up CD?

Album Art is stored in each individual song file as an ID3 tag. As long as you have art imbedded within the file and save (or backup) that file, you will retain the Album Art.
FYI:
Song attributes stored directly in each music file are as follows: Artist, Album, Song Title, Year, Comments, Compilation tag, Lyrics, Genre , Grouping, Composer, BPM, Album Artwork, Bit Rate & Kind (Both not tags - inherent to the file itself).
Song attributes stored in the iTunes Library database file only are: Playlists, Ratings, Play Count, Last Played, Date Added, Date Modified, Equalizer, Volume Adjustment.

Album art is not appearing on my iPad but appears when plugged into iTunes.

Hi everyone -
Having a major issue: I have about 8000 songs accumulated on my iPad Mini 3 with Retina display [running iOS 8.2] from my main computer in a different country. All my album art used to appear and everything was all well and good until I plugged my iPad into my MacBook Pro this morning to charge. While charging, I made one small spelling correction to an album error, at which point my iPad started to sync and then all the album art disappeared from my iPad. When I play the music in iTunes with my iPad connected, the album art appears in the small square at the top but whenever I play it on my iPad, there is no album art.
Is there a fix to this inconvenient issue? I'd appreciate your help!

The album art is incorrect on my ipod touch 4th gen. How do I fix this?

My refurbished ipod touch 4th generation 64GB is showing incorrect, wrong, mismatched album art. The album art shows correctly in itunes but incorrect on my ipod. At first, it only showed a few mismatched songs. Then I tried deleting the songs from the ipod and adding them back. Now ALL the songs in my library show mismatched album art. How do i fix this? Some people have suggested that this is a cache problem. Will a reset/restore fix this? What problems will I incur if i try to reset my ipod? Should I select "reset all settings" or "erase all content and settings"? Will I lose all my data? I don't really keep a lot of apps on my ipod so if i lose the data its not a big issue. I just want to know before I start down this path.

Try:
- Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Unsync/delete all music and resync
- Reset all settings
Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
- Restore from backup. See:
iOS: How to back up
- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.

Some of the album art work is not showing up after I buy music. I have the iPhone 6. How do I fix that?

I have the iphone 6 16GB. Some of the music I have buy and download onto this phone does not have album covers. aome do have the album covers though. How do I fix that?

Doesn't seem like this is happening to a lot of people but I'm having issues with album art too. Synching new iPhone 6 iOS 8.1 (128gb) and the art appears fine. Then a day or two later it all fails to display - 8,000 + songs.
I have wiped the device to factory for fresh try but same results (note that also cycles ApplePay - hope I don't get fresh $35 re-enrollment charge)
Kinda frustrating to have bad *** display and no art.
Any ideas?

How do I fix the album art on my iPod? It has been scrabbled due to the iOS update.

My iPod touch 5th generation has had two problems come up since the iOS update; I regret updating because I was happy with how it was before. The album art has been scrabbled on my iPod; it has placed album art that goes with other songs to the wrong song or has album art I've never seen before. My iPod also has a problem with music now. I've noticed that I am unable to play music that I once could. Some have an iCloud or stop symbol next to it and I can not listen to them. I notice that while it plays my music on shuffle, while looking at the screen and song, it will skip through about 2-5 or more songs as if it's not allowed to play it. I am very irratated with these problems. Everything was all dandy before these updates. Any feedback would be very helpful and I thank you.

Artwork doesn't sync with music in ipod...: Apple Support Communities
next try
- Unsync all music and resync
- Restore from backup. See:
iOS: How to back up
- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
