Album artwork errors

I've downloaded hundreds of album artworks into my i-pod - some I saved onto my hard drive, others i just dragged from Amazon, Goggle etc.
All was fine at first, however, now when I play my ipod much of the artwork shown doesn't correspond with the correct track/album. Indeed, for some tracks, the wrong artwork shows on the 'top' screen and a different piece of artwork shows when I click the centre wheel twice to use the full screen to display the artwork.
Any ideas why this happens and how I can correct it?
Many thanks.

Worked it out now.
1. Dock ipod in PC.
2. Click furthest left button in bottom right hand corner. If placing the cursor over the button it states 'Display ipod options'.
3. Unclick 'Diaply Album artwork' within the ipod page.
4. Remove ipod then redock.
5. Click same button and click artwork back on.
6. Artwork then resyncs.
It worked for me (from what i can tell so far).

  • Can't get album artwork - error 609

    I'm using MBP and iTunes 10.3.1.
    When importing from a CD, I got the track details but not the album artwork. On requesting through menu Advanced I get "Unknown error -609".
    However,  the same CD on Windows+RealPlayer can get all album and track info.
    Any ideas to get the album artwork on MBP+iTunes?
    Thanks

    Btw, I desabled the firewall and it still can't get the artwork.
    The CD is "Queen - A Night At The Opera".

  • Random album artwork - Error -50

    I only get random album artwork display on my 60 gig iPod. All the artwork displays in iTunes, but only random artwork displays on the iPod.
    I tried unchecking unchecking "Display album art" in iTunes, and the ejecting the iPod, and when ejecting I get the error.
    "An error occured while updating the default player for audio file types. You don't have enough access privlidges for this operation."
    I am the sole user and administrator on this PC.
    When I reconnect and recheck "Display album art", iTunes says "Optimizing artwork for iPod." Then is comes up with the error "The iPod "My iPod" cannot be updated. An unknown error occured (-50)"
    Very frustrating.

    I am having the exact same problem. I have a 30 GB iPod Video, and today I noticed how the album artwork is but randomly displayed on my iPod, though all my albums have their respective artwork, and the artwork shows up in iTunes just fine when going to "Get Info". However, on my iPod, only some artwork showed up, mostly for the albums I had purchased through iTunes.
    I thought I'd try to disable and re-enable album artwork in the iPod preferences, and the disabling did indeed work. However, the re-enabling did not - it attempts to update the iPod saying "Optimizing artwork for iPod", and it gets about half-way there until I get an error message saying, "The iPod 'Sandra's IP' cannot be updated. An unknown error occurred (-50)." So now I have no album artwork whatsoever.
    The iPod software is version 1.1.1 and iTunes version 6.0.5. Any suggestions?

  • Get Album Artwork error code (-609)

    I just recently did a re-install of my Mac Mini. iTunes is up to date with the correct version, imported all my songs from my back up hard drive, however none of the album artwork transferred with the import.
    When I attempt to "Get Album Artwork" I receive an error message: Unable to process album artwork for "insert album name here" could not find, an unknown error occurred (-609).
    I have selected an album I know is on the iTunes store (Aesma Daeva, Here Lies One Whose Name Was Written In Water) and tried to Get Album Artwork for just this album. I receive the same error message.
    What is this error and how can I fix it? Thanks
    EDIT: I just found a similar issue on another thread, trying the solution now.

    Solution posted in another thread worked for most of the files. Guess I will have to manually download the remainder.

  • Album Artwork Error

    I recently just got a mac and I accidently clicked the "do not show me this message again" when iTunes told me it couldn't find the album artwork, and I was wondering if theres any way to get it to say that again because now I don't know whether or not it's found any artwork.

    Go into Preferences then go to the advanced tab and you will see a button to reset all dialog warnings. Click the reset and you should be back in business.

  • Album Artwork Error Message

    Okay, I have put some artwork on my iTunes, and it didn't show up on my iPod, so I went in and unchecked the "Display Artwork..." and applied that. Then, I went in and rechecked the box, and applied it again. When I did that, a box popped up that said "iPod couldn't sync...unknown error (-50) occurred." Anyone know what that means?

  • Album artwork disappeared after an iTunes error... how can I get I back?

    I've been using iTunes for years and out of a clear blue sky I get this error message, "iPhone cannot be synced because the sync session failed to start." After trying a few different things I find a fix that works- turn my iPhone all the way off and then turn it back on. Then when I added a new mp3 song to my iTunes Library and tried to sync it to my phone, the album artwork refused to show up on my phone even though it shows in iTunes. Nothing I did to fix it worked. I tried to add another mp3 song. Same problem. Then as I tried the various 'fixes' I read about here in Apple Support Communities, it made my problem worse! At first only the two new mp3 songs I added were missing album artwork. Now half of the songs I purchased from iTunes are missing album artwork! To add to that, many of the songs that have album artwork at all have the wrong artwork.
    Stuff that didn't work:
    Erasing all the music on my phone and resyncing made it worse
    My manually added album artwork is already ID3 tagged v2.4
    I have never checked the box that converts higher bitrate songs
    Manually adding artwork and using iTunes' "get album artwork" feature
    Restoring iPhone from a backup
    I am using a MacBook Pro with OS X Snow Leopard version 10.6.8.
    I have iOS 6.1.4 on my iPhone 5 and I have not updated anything for the past two months.
    PLEASE HELP.

    You dont have this:
    Check your iTunes > Preferences... (or in Windows iTunes: Edit > Preferences...) > General tab > is Books checked?

  • Error with getting album artwork, will i lose all library if i unistall?

    I appear to have an error (-609) when i try to get album artwork in i tunes. I was thinking about unistalling i tunes and then re installing it. Will this help resolve the error and will it mean i will lose all the albums i have stored in my library. Will i have to reload them all back on again? or can i save them on my pc somewhere before i unistall itunes and then move them back into itunes when i reinstall it?

    Hi Sarah, and a warm welcome to the forums!
    Try logging out of the iTunes Store, Quit iTunes...
    Safe Boot from the HD, (holding Shift key down at bootup), it will try to repair your Disk Directory while the spinning radian is happening, so let it go, run Disk Utility in Applications>Utilities, then highlight your drive, click on Repair Permissions, reboot when it completes.
    Open Itunes, log into the Store, try again.

  • Error When Trying to Re-check "Display Album Artwork"

    Here's my issue, I have a 30 gb photo ipod and I added album artwork in iTunes to all of my music on my ipod. The artwork displays in iTunes, but does not show up on the iPod. When I go to iPod options in iTunes and uncheck, then recheck "Display album artwork on your iPod", I get "The iPod "(myname)" cannot be updated. An unknown error occurred (-50)." I updated to the latest iPod software, using iPod Updater 2005-06-26 and I also have the latest iTunes software (4.9). I see other people with the same type of error, but nobody getting the same error number as me.

    Wow. I sure am impressed with the amount of help available to the average new iPod user! I started using the iPod (60gb/using newest iTunes on XP) about one week ago, and have had about three problems - all of which were resolved without panic or hassle by simply browsing forums or checking the manual.
    I thought it was pretty cool to be able to place the artwork on the 'Pod while the song is playing, so I started throwing the art from amazon.com (an invaluable resource for album art!) to the 'Pod. Wouldn't you believe it - nothing showed up! iTunes showed it - I could see it - but nothing on the 'Pod! I tried the "check and uncheck show album art icon," at which time I started getting the "Cannot update [my iPod] - Unknown error -50" error. A bit of searching and WHAMMO! The answer is upon me! Unload all the music, add the art to the songs in iTunes, and reload the songs! I'm sure it'll work like a charm (without a doubt!).
    I usually have limited amounts of time to tinker with the 'Pod, so I'm glad things can be solved so quickly! I'm also glad I've only got 5.6gb of tunes on the 'Pod that I have to re-load! My heart goes out to those who have customized artist info/track listings, however... As well as those who have the full 60 filled... It's got to be terrible to get news that you've got to unload that fine piece of machinery (apparently you can't say "s*cker" or "su*ka"). I'll definitely be sure to make any modifications (aside from volume controls from song to song) in iTunes before loading the songs to the 'Pod!
    Hurray!

  • -50 error when trying to get Album Artwork onto iPod

    Has anyone had the issue of getting an "unknown error" -50 when trying to sync Album Artwork? I have searched for a similar problem and have found nothing. The art work used to work on my old machine. I have recent change computers, but I moved all my music over to the new machine without any issues. Any insight would be helpful. Thanks.

  • ITunes 7 Errors/Glitches and Album Artwork Not Displaying on iPod

    Looks like a lot of people are having problems with the new iTunes 7. After downloading iTunes7 and the new ipod updater, and having iTunes go and get the album artwork I was missing, some of the album artwork that displayed in iTunes would not display on my iPod (Gen 5). Very weird. I then tried to follow the suggestions on this board to deselect the "display album art on ipod" (in the Music tab of iPod preferences) so that I could then reselect and resynch (which supposed to fix the problem). It was very difficult to achieve this, as iTunes repeatedly had problems recognizing my ipod (even though it was sitting there in the source list). Managed to somehow get it to work, only to discover that while some missing album artwork had been added to ipod and properly displayed, others that had been there before were now gone (but were fine in iTunes)!!! And trying to repeat the deselect/reselect steps only resulted in more error messages ("The Settings were not saved for the iPod ___ because it could not be found." and "iPod update failed. disconnect and reconnect, then try again.")
    I happen to have Apple Care for my iPod. Was on phone for ONE HOUR with rep who, while friendly, had no idea what was going on.
    Okay Apple, I hope you're reading this, PLEASE FIX THE BUGS. I thought I escaped the problems of buggy software releases when I switched from Microsoft to Apple.

    UPDATE on previous posting:
    Okay, with help of previously mentioned Apple rep, I uninstalled and reinstalled iTunes 7 AND restored my iPod G5. After resynching my 5000+ songs, ALL the album artwork not displaying per previous posting is now displaying. HOWEVER (and Apple employees please take note here), when I tried to change the iPod settings AT ALL (e.g., deselect Synch Movies, TV Shows, Games, etc.) and then select APPLY, same problem!! So it appears this is where the problem lies. Somehow making any changes to these options and then hitting Apply causes the error ("...iPod could not be found" etc.) My workaround (since I am not intending to use iPod for movies or TV shows or games) is to change the Main Menu listings in Settings so I don't have to see them.
    APPLE: PLEASE STUDY AND FIX! Thank you....
