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.

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. -
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.

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 seriously screwed up
I noticed that a bunch of songs and albums on my iPhone 3G are missing their album artwork- it just displays the generic music note logo on the phone, but the artwork is present in iTunes. Interestingly, the messed up albums are almost entirely in the bottom half of the album list when sorted by artist. The art is apparently not visible from any mode on the iPhone: not in coverflow, not in the album list, not the locked desktop, but again, it's there in iTunes.
I have tried resetting the phone, syncing again, etc. I even tried re-applying the artwork or converting ID3 tags, but once I started doing that, the album art started *showing up on the wrong albums*. What do I do?I tried un-synching music (which then removes the music from the iphone) and then re-synching the same music back (which adds it back on the next sync), and this fixed the issue of mixed up artwork. I've seen that this doesn't work fro everyone, but it's worth a first try as it involves the least amount of work.

I have upgraded to 7.0.1. Yet the album art issue remains.
First of all, iTunes Store in some cases treats each single song in a single album as individual album, under the album view.
Second, my music library contains songs I imported from my CD collection. Although I can see a folder for the imported album art, somehow the album art does not get imported into iTunes.
Apple really needs to address this issue. I thought the album scrolling view is fantastic. But without album arts, the feature is useless.try deleting the temp files, history of internet explorer, cookies and all. worked for me

OS is Windows 7
I updated iTunes the other day and I decided to run "get album art" and instead of finding artwork, it made some of the artwork I already had show up as white squares, or disapear entirely. The ones that are white squares show up under the get info, but not in itunes. I did click in view for show al artwork, no luck. Many of these albums I bought from iTunes. The ones that the artwork was deleted some albums I can buy on iTunes, but already owned, and iTunes found the artwork before, but now cannot. Some are albums that I spent many hours finding and adding the artwork myself. I am very frustrated. I cannot find the time to manually install artwork for thousands of songs.
My work computer is Windows 8, so I really don't want to hear windows vs OSX argument. My company won't switch to mac because you like it better, so I just need a solution to my issue. iTunes it has always worked better for me on my work PC than my macBook, I dont know why, but I don't take two laptops with me when I travel so I have my iTunes library on the PC that has to come with me. This is the first time an update has screwed things up for me.Well my first guess was wrong. The line that failed is the one that writes out the image to disk. I've not revisited the code for that script for ages, but it seems I did add in an extra test for missing files a little while later, then forgot to upload the change. I can reproduce the error message if I deliberately rename a file to confuse iTunes so that seems the most likely reason for your problem with the script. I've uploaded a new build of CreateFolderArt which should work better.
See FindTracks for a tool to repair broken links. You should probably get that issue fixed first.
I know what SPSS stands for but that is all I know about it.

IOS 7 music app does not display artist pictures and has incorrect album art after master reset.
Strange issue here. I did the update from iOS 6 to iOS 7, after I did the update, I noticed my synced music has just a random photo of the artist / group, that seems to be downloaded from the iTunes sites, because these pictures of the artist/group is not my album artwork.
I did a master reset on my device because I wanted to start from a clean slate, and set it up as a new phone. I went through and adjusted all of my settings and synced my music back on via iTunes, now its not showing these pictures any longer, infact, the strangest issue of them all.. is now when I view artists, the album that I synced now has a complete different album artwork picture that is not related to that album.
I am at a loss, my iTunes is extremely organized, I have everything configured to be 100% accurate for track names, artist, album, and album artwork.
Anyone have any input here? It only screwed up after the reset I did. This has to be a bug or something.SiMooew469: Thank you! After countless wasted hours messing with this, your solution was the only one that worked! After setting up a few phones "as new" I noticed all the artist images would appear (for those that have one) even with my Match turned on. I could not duplicate it on my restored-from-backup iPhone5S, as I would get a mix of the images and album art, even for those artists that have profile photos on the as-new setups. I couldn't afford to lose all my text messages, etc. that come with restoring a phone as-new, so I tried about everything else under the sun: I tried logging in-and-out of my Apple ID, toggling Match on-and-off, I even deleted iTunes_control folder using iExplorer on a Windows machine. Nothing worked.
Here's what finally did:
If you don't have it set this way already, toggle "Group By Album Artist" in Settings->Music. For some reason that makes a difference for some artists in your library that appear when album artist is set to "Various Artists" or something other than the track's artist. Logout of your Apple ID. Log in with any other Apple ID. Open the Music app and watch all the artist images load in the Artisits tab. Once it is done, logout of the other Apple ID and login with your regular Apple ID. Finally, all the artist images will remain. Those artists that do not have a profile photo with iTunes will still show album art, which is by design. Hopefully Apple will keep updating that database.
Incidentally, it's a bit odd that those profile photos don't appear in the Artists view in iTunes 11...or am I the only one? -

30gb video ipodTry 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.

ITunes album art screen saver problem
Hi, recently when I use my iTunes album art work as a screen saver the albums have a purple tint to them. It hasn't always been like that so if anyone could help it would be greatly appreciated.
Just thought I'd let you know that you're not alone. I've tried everything i could think of to fix this problem. The only thing that worked was re-installing the os
and not messing with the settings. But that's not really an option. I only found that out because i got a little delete happy while screwing with my mac.

I recently purchased a 5th Generation iPod, my 5th iPod, my previous one was an iPod Photo. I am experiencing a problem with album art. If i select an album, the most recent was Madonna's new album. I've added the album art in the same fashion I have since my 3rd iPod, and It shows up perfectly in iTunes. Howerver when playing on the iPod, It will start by showing Madonna's album art, and then with switch to an 'Nsync album cover.
This problem is not just with Madonna's album, It is now happening with EVERY song! It doesn't happen right away, however after a few songs of a playlist or album, there is Nsync's album cover again!
Any suggestions?Yes there is a major bug here! I cant believe there isn't more people than this complaining about it?
I have a 5th Generation video iPod. running on a G4 Mac.
My problem is similar but involves random podcast images/album art taking over my pre existing song album art and not all of the songs from an album either just some of them?
This really *****! and I don't think that this is going to be fixed with anything other than an iPod update.
I have decided to not sync my ipod until this is fixed incase it screws with thousands of my songs and is not reversible other than manually re entering album art.
I too would like to complain and get this new update fast tracked to fix it.
Where do I do that?
iPod Video Mac OS X (10.4.3) -
I'm currently using iTunes 7.6.0.29 with a 1.1.3 iPhone. I've got a lot of lesser known albums that iTunes can't grab album art for, so I did the get info -> artwork fix to manually set the album art for all those albums.
Everything looks fine in iTunes, zero albums missing art, but all of the old problem albums I had in iTunes still don't show album art in my iPhone. I've already tried deleting the offending albums in the iPhone and resyncing, but they still don't show the album art that I see in iTunes.
Is there any way to manually select album art on an iPhone?Having this problem as well. Surprised to see there's a huge number of threads on this problem, all between the end of January and now.
The killer is, this is art that would copy perfectly well to my iPhone since *release day* last year. But with a recent full restore (thanks to the third major AT&T screw-up since... release day), looks like the art refuses to come over.
Bizarre, since nothing changed after the restore - same firmware I had before the restore!
This is killing me. Between the major AT&T issues (the likes of which I never had on 7+ years of Sprint/Helio) and the minor annoyances like this one (one of many functional issues), I routinely want to throw my iPhone against the wall. Which *****, because I love it overall. But when your phone + music player keeps having issues BEING a phone, OR a music player, it's time to look at other carriers/hardware until the kinks are worked out.
Not going to bother calling Apple, it'll be "did you restore?" -
We had a storm here one night, the power got knocked out and my ipod was sitting in it's docking station. When I rebooted, the ipod asked me to set it's language settings, etc. again.
As it is now, it appears to only of screwed up my album art, which only shows a little dot now where the cover would of been. I REALLY (make that REEEEALLLLLLLLLYYYYYYY) do not want to do a restore and copy all my 30 GB of songs back onto it.
Is there some way to just rebuild the artwork db on the ipod?
TIAI don't think so...Although it'd be a hassle to load all 30GB of songs, it would be your safest and smartest choice to restore your iPod to factory settings and then go from there, though I can't guarantee that 100%.

Album art size in 5800 music player
I am experimenting with album art in MP3's on my 5800.
It seems as though the displayed size of album art while the track is playing varies with the size of the original jpeg attached into the mp3 file. Anybody else find this or a solution?
For example if I use the 600x600 pixels art downloaded from the iTunes music store, the pictures come out tiny on the 5800 but if I change them to 500x500 in size then they come up a lot bigger.
Furthermore if I go to a track which is displaying tiny artwork when I play it, in the Music Library and select it and choose Album art in the menu, the artwork comes up a lot bigger, filling the screen !!!! So the 5800 can resize the artwork to fill the screen but then screws up the resizing when you play the track. Very annoying.
I am using v20 firmware. Not sure whether this is an issue in previous firmware versions.I figured it out, look here http://www.allaboutsymbian.com/forum/showthread.php?t=82694

Hello all,
I just bought an ipod and installed itunes. I imported my Windows Media library. However, the new itunes folders are all screwed up and there is not any album art. Tech support said there is nothing I can do. Well, besides reload and rip my cd's str8 in2 itunes. Problem is, I have 787. Is there anyway I can reorganize the folders and view the album art?
Thanks,This has been answered a 1000 times.
There are several methods:
You can:
1. Load a JPEG or PNG picture of the albun art to the phone. Then select the Album in the music player then seletct Options-> Album Art then Options-> Change then select the picture file.
2. You can add the Album art in the MetaData. In WMP11 select the songs, then right click on them select "Advanced Tag Editor" Then select the Pictures Tab. Add the Picture (JPEG or PNG) and then set it as "Cover Front" and then select OK. Now transfer (not synch) the songs to the phone using Mass Storage.
Method 1 has the problem that the Album Art is tied in the phone only so if you delete the songs and load them again you will have to set the album art again.
Methid 2 has the problem that if you Sync using WMP then sometimes the songs are converted before the sync and this causes the Album Art to be deleted. This is a WMP11 problem, that's why if you want Album Art it's better to put it in the Metadata then use File Transfer and drag and drop to put the files to the memory card or mass memory.
