Album artwork mixed with other artwork

my album artwork has been mixed with other album artwork of songs that I have removed off my phone. the mixed up artwork is only in the purchased songs. any suggestions on how to fix this? I am not looking to download apps or jailbreak my phone to fix this problem.

I have the same problem and this is how I get it to work.
Although the artwork in iTunes seems correct, you still need to check individual Artwork on each Album. (The new iTunes seems to mass them up.)
Go to iTunes Music and right click "get info -> artwork" on each of your song.
Make sure the artwork shows up.
In my case, some of the artwork is missing and some of them looks strange. Reset any artwork that is missing.
Uncheck the music sync so the existing music in your ipod is removed.
Before resync, go to your ipod to make sure all the music files are actually removed.
Resync.
Hope this help.

IPhone4 Music album art swapping with other albums?

So my iPhone 4 has been going through some issues since the release of 4S:
Slow performance; freezing whilst receiving messages (both iMessage and standard txt); phone vibrates and makes the noise, then 30 seconds later lights up with the alert/notification on the screen.
But the strangest of all, is that randomly the music album art swaps with each other. What is clearly a male artist and his album art, randomly gets Kylie Minogues Album art? However, in iTunes, the album art is correct? I have repeatedly Sync'ed, however, don't want to "restore" the iPhone. But I feel I am fast approaching this as my final option.... :-(
Any idea's?
This might be the conspirer in me - but issues like this occur whenever Apple bring out the newer version of the iPhone... a plot to make us upgrade out of frustration?
Many thanks,
BN0079

Hi, mine's having the same issue, but only of late. I have posted a similar question on here - but judging from your's being posted in August lol - maybe I won't have any luck.
My next stop is to delete all albums and music from my iPhone4 and then BackUp. I'll restore my phone to factory settings and start again.
If that fails to solve the issue, Apple will have to issue me a new phone over the Genuis Bar in-store. :-)

Itunes music artwork mixed with book covers?

After a certain version fo itunes.I forgot... It'd start putting my book covers on my music artwork. I mean even if I try to add new artwork the book cover won't come off..... Even trying to readd the music.

Hi there, thanks for your reply. I think I'm confused myself, I'm sorry. The problem isn't with my iPod (again, my appologies), but with the iTunes library itself. Like when I play music from my computer... You hear for instance a song by Kid Rock and the album image/artwork that is being displayed is that of... say... Madonna... How is that possible... I un-installed and re-installed iTunes twice on my computer already, and the problem persists... When I check to see if the artwork for a song is correct, it always IS correct. But when the song is playing, it's not... I tried deleting the artworks of all songs, then added them again after I rebooted the computer... and still, same thing... I mean: HELLLPPP...

My contacts mix with other iPhone.

Last year I had synced my Uncle's iPhone into my computer and the Contacts were saved on to the Address Book. This year i connected my iPhone to add some music from iTunes but the automatic sync had been on and it synced all the contacts on to my iPhone. The problem is that when me or my uncle add/delete/rename/whatever a contact it happens into both phones. For example, i saved my cousins number as 'Cousin (name)' and when i checked again it had been changed to 'Name (Brother-in-Law's Son)' because of what my uncle saved it as.
Can someone help please?

Syncing contacts with both iPhones is being done with iTunes on your computer?
If no, the only way contacts can be synced between the two iPhones is by accessing an email account on both that supports syncing contacts over the air such as with an Apple iCloud account.

I lost all of my Itunes music because of an infection that required them to wipe my computer. I am trying to get the music back from multiple sources. What I have recovered is a mess. Albums are mixed or songs not grouped as album. Help?

My computer got infected with some terrible virus. I contacted the manufacturer and they said the only thing to do was wipe the whole thing. I could not back it up bec this mess?ause it would include the infection. I have been trying to recover the lost music from several different places. A friend tried to help me by putting all of his music on my computer from his external hard drive. That was very nice of him but now it is a terrible mess. The recovered songs are not grouped into albums correctly. Some albums are mixed - every other song is from the other album. Some songs are listed separately and not grouped as an album. I tried to ask iTunes to find album art work and it has been running that for over 48 hours. Is that possible? When I try to stop it I get a message that says I will lose all the data. I admit that I am not very tech. savvy and I really don't know what I am doing. It took me more than 20 years to make that collection and I am heart broken. Do you have any ideas about how I start to fix

Unfortunately you've discovered too late how important it is to maintain an up-to-date backup of your iTunes library (and all other data of value). You could, before wiping the drive, have considered making use of a commercial data recovery service that could (albeit at considerable cost) have extracted your library from the hard disk, even if virus infected.
In the absence of that option, you will need to restore the content of your library from its original sources:
Depending on your location, you may be able to re-download any iTunes Store purchases that are still available on the Store
Likewise, most digital purchases from Amazon (including auto-rip copies of purchased CDs) should be available from the Amazon Cloud and via the Amazon Music application - the same may be true of other commercial sources for digital downloads
Content imported from your CDs will have to imported again
The specific situation that you describe regarding the music imported from your friend's external HDD suggests that either the source is badly organized and/or originates from a source other than iTunes (other media players may use alternative tags for information like artist, title, album, etc. that are not wholly consistent with how iTunes handle these). Without details of the issues you're seeing it is difficult to suggest a remedy other than going through the media album-by-album, track-by-track, and correcting the inconsistencies.
In the absence of a backup or access to the original library data there is no option other than painstakingly recreating your library as described above. As you do so, you'll now realize how important creating and maintaining backups are - in my case I have at all times three separate duplicates of my library, in two different locations, where none is ever more than a week old compared to the content of my master library.

Since upgrading to 7.0.3 (iPhone 5 64gb, with iTunes Match enabled) all of my music wiped off my phone. Downloading it again, most of the artwork has been mixed up with other artists, and I'm no longer able to stream or download over 3G? Any ideas?

Since upgrading to 7.0.3 (iPhone 5, 64gb, with iTunes Match enabled) almost all of my music has vanished from my phone (weirdly some hasn't).
Downloading it again, most of the artwork has been mixed up with other artists, and I'm no longer able to stream or download over 3G (all tracks greyed out), though my network settings etc are all set correctly.
Lastly since upgrading to iOS 7.0.1 (and beyond) Genuis has become effectively useless: it continually asks me to connect to wi-fi, and if I do it creates playlists mostly composed of tracks by the same artists or those very obviously linked to them- previously it created brilliant, nuanced playlists.
Are these things connected, and how do I fix them?

I have done this on numerous occasions but I think that my Iphone has a defect. After many tries, reinstalls, deletion of content, changing content to be stored on external hard drive, deleting itunes and cleaning computer I managed to get all of the songs on and things seemed okay for a while.
The problem returned about a week ago after downloading a new album from Itunes. I now have 12.5k of songs leaving 10gb spare on Iphone which should be more than enough room to operate properly. Last night it seemed to be dowloading ok (after doing all of the above again for the umpteenth time) this morning it revealed that it had just synched 2.5k of songs and 18gb of "other" on the contents bar. it wont synch now as it says its over capacity. So the 18gb of "other" would probably be corrupted data that means it must corrupt each song as it tries to synch it.
The 2.5k of songs it did synch are working on the Iphone as is every song in the library on Itunes. I did completely delete the new album I bought and redownloaded it from the store then tried to synch just that album and it worked fine.
Just about time to dump apple I think!

Artwork from podcasts is getting mixed into other music

I started downloading podcasts recently, and shortly afterwards I found this problem. The artwork that comes with podcasts is getting mixed into my album artwork and vice-versa. This is only happening on my iPod, not on my computer. In iTunes, the artwork is with the correct files. The only way I've found to fix this problem is to:
a)delete the artwork from iTunes
b)sync my iPod
c)attach the artwork back onto the file
d)sync my iPod again
It only happens with some albums, in a random pattern. Anyone else have this problem? If so, is there a permanent fix? I've got the latest version of iTunes.

Known but rare problem. No known fix.
There is no need to delete the artwork from iTunes. Just change setting for iPod, sync, turn on artwork option again, sync again.

Problem when Syncing Music: Album Artwork Mixed Up on Ipod Touch

I have a 64gb iPod touch, 4th generation. I sync my music over usb to the iPod through itunes with my entire library. Over the past year I have been having an issue where the music album artwork will be mixed up or sometimes dissapear/not show. Not all of my music does this, mind you, but only some of it. I have a lot of music so it's hard to say what percentage of it but it seems to be at random. I don't mean random as in it changes everytime but that there doesn't appear to be any rhyme or reason behind which tracks/albums get their artwork mixed up. I have no videos on the ipod either.
So I've tried many things. I've reset my iPod Touch, always made sure the music app didn't appear in the bottom tray after double clicking(when I sync) and even tried setting my library up on my new computer (it used to be on my old one). Also I've gone through my mp3 collection and cleaned and synchronized all of the tags(between albums, ID3v1 & ID3v2) and album artwork with Mp3Tag. Everything is flawless (I have OCD, hah). Also everything appears correct in iTunes and I'm only having the issue on my iPod touch.
Here is a breakdown of what I've noticed but can't explain:
1.Reset ipod, reinstall iOs,
2.Sync library with iPod touch, everything is fine,
3.Add a few more tracks to the iTunes library,
4.Resync iPod Touch(here I've noticed something weird. Now the ipod resyncs some of tracks that are already on my iPod Touch and when I look at those tracks in the music app the album artwork is mixed up or sometimes gone.
So I don't really know what to do. I've looked through every forum and website looking for a fix and tried everything I can think of or suggested so far. Any help would be appreciated. I should point out that this problem is merely cosmetic and all the tracks play fine. But I bought a $400 iPod Touch and it can't even do the one thing that made it famous properly. I don't know, these electronics are expensive and things like this are helping me to lose faith in Apple. I've already bought an android phone over lack of faith that the iPhone would display my music correctly. I know it seems silly but an organized library is important to how much I can enjoy my device.
Thanks, hope you guys can help!

Album Artwork sucking in other albums

I have already looked at http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1468
Say I have audio books A, B, and C. Each of them is a 4 part audiobook.
When I look at them by Album scroll list, I see 4 of A, 4 of B, 4 of C. Tracking?
So, I right-click on on the 4 parts of A, choose Get Info, and then group these together as parts of a compilation. I am trying to have album view only show ONE artwork per book . . . .and this appears to work for Book A. Only one picture of the Album cover shows. Great. So, I proceed and do the same with B and C.
Here's where it gets funky.
I choose the 4 parts of B in Album view, get info, say Yes to compilation and . . . in the Album view the 4 parts of B get sucked into A. Now, according to the Album View, A is composed of 8 parts. What's odd is the correct artwork still shows in the Selected Item Window, but the artwork for Book A now has both A and B in the Album View list. I try it with C, and A ***** that one up as well.

See my previous post on Grouping Tracks Into Albums, in particular the topics One cover, too many tracks and One album, too many covers. You shouldn't need to set as part of a compilation unless you have different "Artists" reading different parts. Each book should have a single Album title with track numbers used to order the parts.
Audiobooks
With iTunes 8.x you have the option to tell iTunes to treat any audio file as an audiobook. Simply select the tracks, *Get Info.*, then on the options tab set *Media kind* to Audiobook. You can also set options to *Remember playback position* and *Skip when shuffling*.
Assuming, however, that the books consist of more than one file you may have problems if you plan to listen to them on an iPod. The Audiobooks feature was originally designed for books that have been stitched up into a single file and hasn't been updated to reflect the changes that make multi-track audiobooks easy to work with in iTunes. There are tools for creating iPod-friendly audiobooks for which Aldo on Audiobooks is probably the best reference. Personally I don't bother with the extra effort and just have an "Audiobooks" playlist folder containing sub-folders for each author and within these playlists for each audiobook.

Album Artwork Lost with iTunes 9 – Solution Found

When upgrading to iTunes 9 I lost some, but not all, the album artwork for files I had made from vinyl at 24bits/48kHz. I have since recovered this lost artwork by converting the affected AIFF files to WAVE using Max 0.9.1 and then converting them back to AIFF – the artwork suddenly reappears! Previously if the affected files had been imported in to another iTunes library the metadata was lost – now it sticks.
If your having problems with with AIFF files then I suggest converting to WAVE and then back to AIFF.

I am having exactly the same problem with adding artwork, and I see from browsing the discussions that alot of other people are finding the same issue, but there are no answers! If no one knows what Apple have done to us, or how to get around it, could Apple moderators please let us know what is going on?

Is it possible to change artwork associated with albums/tracks?

Hi, Does anyone know if it's possible to delete and/or change the artwork associated with albums or tracks please?

right-click (or ctrl-click) on one file in iTunes and get info. go to the artwork tab and click once on the existing artwork, then hit delete to remove it. paste new artwork into the box or click on add and navigate to the image on your hard drive. you can also drag artwork directly from your web browser into the box.
highlight multiple files in iTunes, then right-click on the selection and get info. the artwork box for multiple items will be empty. put a check into the little box next to the artwork box and hit ok to delete existing artwork. or, paste the new artwork into the artwork box and hit ok to change the artwork. you can also drag artwork directly from your web browser into the box.

Downloading artwork - "could not get artwork for some albums"

This might have been addressed before, but I browsed the forum and couldn't find a thread. Sorry if it's been gone over several times.
I live in Turkey and I've added albums to my iTunes. I checked the box in the Get Info next to Artwork and I selected Get Album Artwork from the Advanced tab. It scans through all the albums and then says "could not get artwork for some albums." "Some" albums means all of them actually. And the error tab details say "artwork not available." I also tried getting artwork by right clicking on a single album but I get the same error. Before it was a 609 error. Now it just says not available.
I logged out of the store, quit iTunes, loaded it again, re-signed in to the store and tried to get artwork that way, but got the same result. No artwork. The albums are things like Let It Be, Allman Brothers, Ella Fitzgerald... Albums that should certainly have artwork available.
I'm using Windows Vista.
Has anyone had and conquered this problem? Any ideas on what I should do? I have 300+ albums, so getting the cover art from wikipedia would be a bit tedious. I'd appreciate any help anyone can give!

Hello, Welcome to Apple Discussions.
Are your songs from Audio CDs or iTunes Store? If not you may need to manually find the album artwork for them as these songs may not be listed in the iTunes Store database for your region.
iTunes: Album art may not download properly
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1815
iTunes will only download album artwork for songs that it can find in the iTunes Store. iTunes will check each song in your iTunes library and attempt to match it up with a song in the iTunes Store. If the data matches, iTunes will download the album artwork from the iTunes Store and add it to the song in your iTunes library. If iTunes does not find a particular song's artwork in the iTunes Store, you will not see an alert message. iTunes simply does not download artwork for that song.

Itunes Artwork Problems with Lion

I've noticed some problems lately with Lion and artwork from Mp3 files no longer being seen in the Finder. Im a new Mac user (only a few weeks) and had lots of issues with itunes from the data transfer but finally was able to get everything working (after 8 hours in the retail store)
Anyway when Lion was installed, there were some hiccups apparently in the 10.4 itunes download.
Now, since it has downloaded there seems to be a new problem with certain files' artwork no longer being recognized in the Finder. (I'm not even sure if that matters - the artwork is showing up in itunes and ipod but not in the finder). This is especially affecting new downloaded tracks (not from itunes)..I can add artwork but it will not appear in the Finder...and it also is affecting some older files and folders that did not have any problems. For certain artists with multiple albums, the artwork keeps disappearing...if you are able to add it for one album, it disappears for the second album...if you fix it for the second album, it disappears again for the first. So just wondering if anybody else is having these issues...or has any ideas to fix it. Id really like to have the artwork in the finder; it just makes me feel more comfortable after all the problems I've had. And so far everytime someone at Applecare or Retail Store tells me to do stuff on my computer, it has just screwed things up even more.

I'm having the same issues
At first I thought it was the 3rd party app 'Media Rage' not being compatible with Lion. But this is not the case.
I know this because, I edited the artwork in iTunes; the artwork shows fine. But, when I take that same iTunes file and drag it to my desktop; nothing. Artwork disappears. I've taken the same file, (now on my desktop), move it into Media Rage, and the window shows that the image file is embedded in the .mp3.
Then, I take the file and move it into iTunes, (now 2 copies of the same song), and the artwork shows again.
So, there's definately something wrong in Finder.
Also, this only happens with new .mp3's recently downloaded, (post Lion upgrade). All my media files pre-Lion, show the artwork in finder ...... 10's of thousands of files are fine. The only problems are with those post-Lion.
Lastly, to be sure that there wasn't some Media Rage/Lion compatibility issue, I uninstalled media rage, and edited some 'new' .mp3's soley using iTunes. They are fine while viewed in iTunes. But in finder; nothing.
I can't imagine Apple overlooking something like this .... after finishing with checking the core processes of the OS, it seems as though the very next items to check and verify would be media, (both audio and video).

Problem with Coverflow & Artwork

I use to have an ipod Photo and all the songs displayed the artwork properly. I just got a new ipod classic and I'm having several issues:
1) Albums not showing artwork properly in Coverflow
2) Songs showing artwork even if the Coverflow does not have an image ( but the file does )
3) Albums may be repeated .. because of Upper/Lower Case differences .. but when one of this albums is selected .. all songs are included .. also the ones that have different upper/lower case
4) Albums with just one song & artwork does not display properly .. neither in the coverflow or artwork for the album or song
Does anybody know if the iPod classic compares the images (checksum or something) to display the artwork in coverflow ??
Why can an album with just one artwork and one song not display properly ??
Any other comment that may help would be appreciated.

There seems to be some inconsistency in the iPod's sorting system - as you say differences in casing can trigger multiple covers in the cover flow and album menus. The first step to improved cover flow is to ensure consistency in shared fields across each album, e.g. Album, Album Artist, Part of Compilation, No. of Discs. Sort Album etc.
Annother issue is that iPod cover flow is effectively Album by Artist rather than Album by Album Artist. This can cause multiple covers whenever guest artists are included in the artist listing for a track. There are two possible workarounds:
*Workaround #1* Append *(Feat. Guest)* to track title and change Artist to *Album Artist* whenever Artist != *Album Artist*
*Workaround #2* Change *Sort Artist* to *Album Artist* whenever Artist != *Album Artist* (Works for Album & Cover Flow menus, but has side effects in Album menu)
When you select an album, however all tracks with matching (case insensitve) album titles will be selected, even when the albums are by different album artists. The most common example is Greatest Hits where all the tracks from all the Greatest Hits albums will be listed together under each artist's Greatest Hits album. There are two possible workarounds:
*Workaround #3* Change album title to *Album - Album Artist* whenever the same album title is used by more than one album artist.
*Workaround #4* Append different numbers of spaces to the album title of different albums whenever the same album title is used by more than one album artist.
*Why is artwork not showing on my iPod when it's there in iTunes?*
iTunes will display a cover in many of it's views provided at least one track from the album has embedded artwork. The iPod appears to load only the artwork from track one to create the cover flow and album views which means that it can sometimes fail to display art for albums even when you can see the art in iTunes. Further, when tracks are played on the iPod, artwork is displayed if and only if it exists in the currently playing track, so track one may show art while track two does not.
*How to find tracks without artwork*
To find all the tracks without artwork so that you can update them you can try http://www.stum.de/itunes-find-tracks-without-artwork/ for Windows or http://dougscripts.com/itunes/scripts/scripts13.php for Macs. Use Google, Amazon, Discogs etc. to locate relevant jpeg images. Ideally these should be square, 320x320 pixels or above and borderless to give the best results in the various menus. If you have artwork for some tracks of an album, but not others, find the album in the main music folder, select a track with artwork, right-click (Option-Click for Macs) on the art & click copy, then select all the tracks of the album, use CTRL-I or Command-I to *Get Info* and then paste the image into the artwork box.
I say 320x320 because I believe (from using TouchCopy) that it's the size used in the iPod cache so if you're going to crop or resize you might as well work to that size. Otherwise 200x200 is probably good enough.
*Rebuild artwork cache*
Sometimes the artwork cache becomes corrupt and fails to show correct artwork, even when this is properly set up in iTunes. To rebuild the artwork cache, connect your iPod to iTunes. Locate the iPod in the Sources pane on the left-hand side, then select the Music tab. Remove the tick from *Display album artwork on your iPod*, sync the iPod, reselect the option & sync again.
