Album art sync problems.

My iTunes is transferring the album art, but not all of it. Also, some albums get artwork from other albums or even from other bands. Can anyone help me out?

You could have a look at this article on missing artwork:

Album Art Sync Problem

I purchased a Ipod Touch two weeks ago. Everything works fine except the loading of album art. I can only load 13 of the 23 album art pictures onto Ipod. They all appear in Itunes but only 13 sync to Ipod. All the music syncs no problem. I tried re-syncing, recreating Ipod and even recreated the ITunes database. Is there a limit on how many can be loaded onto Ipod? Anyone, experience similar problems?

I was having the exACT same problem. It may have come from when I first set up my iPod, I didn't realize it was going to automatically sync with my entire library right off the bat so I canceled the sync, then said the heck to with and re-synced it. I had like six out of 80 albums which all had artwork found from iTunes. So after reading a few posts, I tried restoring my iPod and this time I'm manually syncing only the albums I want. So far, everything is working great! So I would definitely say, try a restore and resync. If that still doesn't work, try to add albums manually in chunks.

Itunes match sync album art work problem and poor quality art work issue

Hi There,
I have two issues with apple itunes and itunes match:
I seem to have a number of albums with poor quality artwork, now i have gone through the removed downloaded artwork and the right click and select the art work toggle box to remove the art work, after doing this I then ask to get the album cover from Itunes indervidually and high quality art work is down loaded and looks great for around 10-20 minutes then it seems to update slowley and revert to the old poor quality art work. Any Ideas? A simular thing that happens is that some art work that ive added manually is deleted. I have also gone into the itunes folder and deleted the album art work folder to force it to download new art work. Is there any way to lock in the art work that you know is good?
Itunes match after making changes to itunes albums I have then updated itunes match and my work is undone? This maybe complaations or album coers any ideas.
I am using itunes version 11.01
I have looked through the forum and read meany feeds about album covers but I havent found one that is reverting covers.
Many thanks guys

Mismatched album art unsolvable problem!

When I sync or manually add music to my Ipod touch (gen 4), the album art is wrong. An (already deleted) custom art is showed instead.
I tried to sync, uncheck, sync again, make playlists etc. Nothing seemed to work. I looked in the forems but I can't find useful discussions or solutions on this problem.

Did you
- Unsync/delete all music and resync
To delete all music go to Settings>General>Usage>Storage>Music>Tap edit in upper right and then tap the minus sign by All Music
- 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: Back up and restore your iOS device with iCloud or iTunes
- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.

Add Album Art - Having Problems - HELP!

I'm having problems adding album art to my itunes library. I've already done the "advanced"--->"Get Album Art" thing but there are quite a few albums that iTunes DIDN'T find. So, I selected one that iTunes didn't find and I drug a .jpg file from a folder, into the bottm-left corner of iTunes and it associated that image with all the files I'd selected from that particular album. Great...so far.
The problem came when I tried to do the same thing a second time, with another album. Now, the little window at the bottom left reads, "Album Art not Modifiable!" I've tried dragging images of the album cover into the space anyway, but to no avail. WHAT GIVES?
Can someone tell me how to fix these missing album covers?
Also, some of the albums iTunes didn't 'find' the artwork for are albums that are even sold BY iTunes! How could it not find the album art for albums I can find right there in iTunes?? I have a new iPhone and, because of the way you can surf albums and songs, it's really important that I get all the album art stuff squared-away!
SOMEONE PLEASE HELP ME OUT!
Thanks, in advance!

Instead of trying to drag the art into iTunes, you
can copy and paste it. To do this, right click on a
song with incorrect or missing artwork. Choose "Get
Info" from the menu that opens. Then click on the
artwork tab--if there's wrong artwork showing, click
on the album cover and then the delete button--now
you'll have a blank box. (If you've already
right-clicked and selected "copy" for the correct
jpeg you've found)--right click in this blank box and
choose "paste". Then click on the ok/yes/save
button--whatever it is in the lower right corner and
your correct artwork should show up in iTunes.
If you want to do an entire album--hold down your
shift key and highlight all of the songs on the
album, right click>get info>say yes when you get the
protest box>choose the artwork tab>right click and
choose paste.
Your song tags have to exactly match the way songs
are tagged in the iTunes store to have the artwork
download automatically. Sometimes a misplaced space
can be the culprit. Often iTunes downloads the wrong
artwork--so allowing iTunes to handle your album art
is not foolproof!
When I try to do what you suggested, I get a iTunes warning that says:
"The Song "Song Name Here" cound not be used because the original file could not be found. Would you like to locate it?"
If I click "Yes" I get a browser window, and if I click "Cancel" I get the info page you talked about; but I can't click on the image because the "Artwork Tab" doesn't exist! I checked some other files and it turns out, that the "Artwork" tab ONLY shows up on files where there's ALREADY some artwork showing! My problem is not that the WRONG artwork is associated with the song or album, it's that there isn't ANY artwork associated with it.
So my question is still: HOW do I associate artwork with music that doesn't show a picture, even after iTunes has searched for the appropriate one and come up with NO image at all?
I'm wondering why iTunes can't locate the original file on some of these songs, though. The only thing I can think of is that, because I'm in the process of re-organizing my music on my computer into album folders, I may have moved a lot of files from the location where iTunes originally found them. Some songs, iTunes has no problem locating, but they seem to be the songs that are part of complete albums I've created outside iTunes and then ADDED to my "My Music" folder, where iTunes seems to find it, shortly after it's added to the folder. So, this makes me think I would be better off deleting EVERYTHING from my Library (except those songs/albums I bought from iTunes) and then RE-add ONLY the re-organized music folders- keeping all the stuff I have yet to straighten-out, completely out of iTunes until it IS organized. How do I clear my library and, then, how do I rebuild it from the music folders I choose? Do you think this would fix my problem?

ZEN 16 GB Album Art Question/Problem

I've noticed that any albums with the same name will get assigned the same album art...
I have several albums that are "Greatest Hits" from several different artists, all albums get whatever album art was pasted last...
I know I could fix this by change the Album name to "Greatest Hits - <Artist Name>", but I should have to, shouldn't the ZEN know that these are different albums?

I have had the same problem with my new Zen 6gb player.
If you name the albums like this-
Greatest Hits
Greatest Hits2
Greatest Hits3? etc:-
the Zen treats them as different albums and displays artwork correctly.
Same applies to albums called Best Of, Very Best Of,Ultimate Collection etc:-
Hope you get the idea.
It's a pain remembering to edit file tags before loading on the Zen but I haven't found
any other way around this problem to date.

Large Album Art Display Problem

I accidentally pressed into the option provided by iPod nano that allows you to view the album art in a large size that takes up the screen. In turn, the other information and the length of the song disappeared, only to be replaced by the outline of the album (I didn't insert album art for much of them) How do I change the setting back? So I can view the information of the song again in one screen? (smaller album art, song name, album name, length of the song, etc.)
Thanks. I would really appreciate your help. I realize that this is a very, very minor problem because other people WANT the large album art display image to pop out. But I just can't seem to get it to reverse to the normal display. Thanks again!

Album art sync and disp

For any one who has tried absolutely everything to get the album art?on their zen vision m and have it fail. I feel for you. If this is you, consider using a program called media monkey. It doesn't matter what size the pics are and it syncs them straight to your zen. It is so simple and it actually works. It can also covert music to a different format. Hope this helps

Lol. I actually do have album art, but I'd like to remove it but I don't know how; please read my topic!

Still having ipod album art work problems

My IPOD SHOWS NO ALBUM ARTWORK! I don't know why. I have the checkbox under itunes selected "display album artwork on IPOD" I contacted itunes support and they never help with anything. they are completely worthless. They directed me back here, to the forums, for help. They have no answers. I've tried nearly everthing. I've restored my ipod many times over. I've also tried deselecting that checkbox under itunes then resyncing my ipod. And its still a no go. I think that I'm missing some files on my ipod that enables my ipod to show the album artwork. Can anyone help me out?

I had the same problem all you have to do is connect your ipod then click the options for your ipod then un tick the show album art then update your ipod, disconnect it then re connect it and click the options again then tick the album artwork box unpdate again and viola everything works smooth from then on mine has been perfect since i did it last week

Video Art Sync Problems: TV Shows Artwork No, Movies Artwork Yes

Strange occurrences since upgrade to IOS 8 on the iPhone 6: I have video cover art embedded in 100% or my movies and TV shows. Before the IOS 8 upgrade no problems with the cover art appearing on either TV Shows or Movies. Now after the update, video cover artwork does not transfer to the iPhone for TV Shows alone. If the type selection is changed to Movie, then the show appears in the Movies tab and the art appears! Change the type back to TV Show and it disappears again. Anyone else have an experience with this one? Seems like a bug to me....

It would seem this issue has been seen by a lot of people looking at my post.
For anyone who converts files so their apple devices can use them, Smart Convertor Pro 2 has just sent out an update which has the option for square artwork for TV Shows. So when you convert your file it adds the metadata to the file and includes the artwork in a square format, when you load this onto your device it works and you can see the artwork!
Well done guys, at least you looked at your customers issue and done something about it! Lets hope Apple sorts themselves out too!

Get Album Art rant.

I am importing my CDs to Itunes on my new computer. I have it set so it always gets album art. Problem is sometimes it asks what CD version it is, and the options it shows me are the EXCACT same description. If I pick the wrong one, Itunes says it can't find the art or it gives me the totally wrong artwork.
Is there anyway to fix this? Why does'nt someone at Apple check this stuff.

When you are being asked why CD version it is it is asking so that it can match the CD to the metadata in the CDDB, which is a database of track listings. For iTunes to be able to download album art the details for the songs must match what is in the iTunes Store. If the album or artist is not an exact match it will not find the album art.
One thing you can do is to check for the album in the iTunes Store. If you can find it check to make sure the details are the same on the songs in your library. If not you will have to update the details to match before you can manually select Get Album Art from the pop-up menu when you right-click on the song(s).

Sync and album art problems with iPhone 3G

The other day my iPhone was sitting in the cradle syncing and I noticed iTunes (8.02) was deleting the apps from the phone. I cancelled that sync and in iTunes I saw that the "Sync Applications" checkbox was unchecked, but I hadn't unchecked it. I then rechecked the box and synced my apps back onto the phone.
Today I added some songs to a playlist and synced, but the sync time seemed suspiciously short. When I checked iTunes I saw that all of my sync content boxes were unchecked...Sync Music, Sync Videos, etc. When I check one of the boxes iTunes threatens to delete all the content presently on my phone and replace it with content from the library....which is of course the same content except for the few songs I copied into one playlist. I don't really want to sit around and wait until this stupid phone replaces 15gb of content with the same 15gb of content. Sometimes this thing acts like such a piece of junk.
Perhaps this is related, but some weeks ago I purchased a Colbie Caillat album from the ITMS. Whenever I play a song from this purchase on my iPhone it shows the album art for an Usher album I already had in my library. If I play the same song on one of my iPods, the album art is correct. Apparently some sort of corruption is afoot in either iTunes, the iPhone or both. Is there some way to get iTunes and the iPhone on the same page without having to wipe and restore this stupid phone? Thanks.

I bit the bullet and checked all the boxes and synced, and the phone did not go through with the threat to erase all my content. It just synced the one changed playlist instead. False alarm. However, the album art issue remains.

fifth generation Windows XP

I have had a similar issue, but much more...started with the messed up album art, and now the following problems are happening (5th Generation 30 GB ipod):
won't play video - Just black screen for 10 seconds, then back to menu
sometimes won't play podcasts - when clicking on podcast it goes to the play screen and then without the timer moving it acts as if it's played the entire podcast, and goes back to menu.
also, sometimes the music or podcast gets terribly garbled almost like "electronic noise"
I have restored 2 times, and reset numerous times, but it continues to happen!!

Few problems/questions! (cover flow, album art...etc)

Ok I finally added my songs to my new IPOD (replaced my old one) and this is my first Ipod with video, color...etc. Its the IPOD Classic 80 GIG.
Well I am having a few problems/questions:
---Why when I hit "Get album art" does it ONLY get art for my videos? It doesn't get any for all 1,500+ songs! Is it because they aren't downloaded from Itunes? If so then why does it do it for the movies then? They aren't from ITunes either!
---With Cover Flow I updated the Album Art myself and have about 700 songs with art now. But I have two problems.
1. It won't display all 700 songs under Cover Flow!
2. It won't show them in order by song name! Can I change that?!? If not then how is it showing them by? What do I need to change?
---Are there any other video types supported besides that on Mpeg4 and that other weird type? If not why not? Its a pain to have to convert everything. Its almost not worth having this video IPOD if you have to go through sop much effort just to watch 1 stupid video. I mean I spent more money on extra programs now for music and videos then I did on the IPOD almost.
---Is there any way to transfer your music from one IPOD to another? I know some people say you can't but why? What about people like me who have music ripped from our own cds and NOTHING from ITunes? Its a REAL pain having to rerip all the cds, put them back on, rename all the songs, fix all the info...etc. Its taken me 4 days now. Apple needs to think about a "IPOD TO IPOD" music transfer kinda program.
---How do you get pics on the IPOD without having to keep them on your PC? I notice it has to SYNC them every time I have it plugged into the PC! But if I tell it NOT to sync pics anymore then they won't stay on the IPOD if turn that option off and unplug the IPOD. Theres got to be another way to add them.

Cover flow on the ipod can only be done (as far as I know) on Album by Artist Name. On iTunes you can change it around
